Hospital No. 444

The police officers continuously entered the community and searched the Muyang Building.

In this way, I was busy until about eight o'clock in the evening.

However, the final result of the search...

Found nothing!

When Officer Zhang told this answer in front of Lu Yanran, she almost couldn't believe it.

"You...have all investigated?"

"Yes." Officer Zhang obviously felt strange, and he emphasized again: "We checked the surveillance many times, and there were people watching outside when we went in to search. We also mobilized all police officers from several branches. We have searched all the more than 100 houses, not to mention places where people can be hidden, even places where people cannot be hidden, we have searched them all."

When Lu Yanran heard "no place to hide people", she suddenly thought of something.

Having watched many criminal investigation dramas, she immediately understood that the police officers could not rule out the possibility that the murderer killed Zhang Bei and then dismembered his body in order to avoid the search.

"Where's the rooftop? Have you checked the rooftop?"

"Everything has been checked. There really is none. The only thing that has not been investigated is the sewer system and the septic tank in the community."

Sure enough... the police thought of dismembering the body!

"Ms. Lu, when you go home, be sure to lock the doors and windows. We will continue to investigate this case and will definitely find a way to find your husband!"

"Surveillance... Is it possible that the surveillance has been manipulated? For example, has it been edited or something?"

"We will take the surveillance back to the police station for technical analysis." Officer Zhang obviously realized that the case was unusual, and added: "Ms. Lu, if you have any clues, please feel free to contact us."

Lu Yanran was completely helpless now, only feeling an unprecedented sense of despair.

Only the sewer system has not been investigated…

If Zhang Bei had not left the building since he returned home last night, then the only possibility he could think of was murder and dismemberment.

There is a dismembered murderer hidden in this building!

The thought of this made Lu Yanran's hair stand on end.

Should we inform the police about Zhang Bei's instructions?

Do you want to say it?

Lu Yanran weighed it carefully. She knew Zhang Bei very well. He is a person who works rigorously and conscientiously, has extremely clear logical thinking, takes things very seriously, and at the same time has a very strong sense of justice.

For him, right is right and wrong is wrong, and he will never change things for the sake of worldliness.

With his character, he would never do anything illegal. Then he told himself not to say anything to the police, which obviously had his own purpose. Either he doesn't trust the police, or...it's useless even if he tells the police.

Although Lu Yanran often dislikes Zhang Bei's straight male personality, she can at least be sure of one thing: Zhang Bei is 100% sincere to her, and he will definitely not harm her. Otherwise, Lu Yanran would not be willing to entrust her life to Zhang Bei.

Growing up in a bad native family, Lu Yanran had always endured the abuse of her parents who favored boys over girls, so Lu Yanran liked Zhang Bei, a person who was very particular about fairness in everything she did. To put it to the extreme, Lu Yanran would rather believe that the earth will explode tomorrow than doubt Zhang Bei.

Out of this trust in her husband, she ultimately told Officer Zhang nothing.

After the police left, she locked all the doors inside her home and locked the windows.

"This...should be fine..."

Then, she remembered the most important thing... to eat the meat!

She went to the refrigerator, opened it, and took out a large piece of raw meat from the red plastic bag.

Lu Yanran remembered clearly that what Zhang Bei said at that time was "it must be eaten raw."

As long as you eat one gram of raw meat, you should be fine.

one gram……

It should be about the size of a peanut, right?

But the meat was frozen so hard that it had to be thawed first.

But then, Lu Yanran felt something was wrong.

She had never seen Zhang Bei use a microwave oven.

Not once.

If he had been feeding himself this kind of meat for the past month, it made no sense that she hadn't seen him use the microwave once.

Doesn't it need to be defrosted? Or is there meat that he has cut off somewhere else?

Just when Lu Yanran was thinking, suddenly, she heard a knock on the door... from outside!

"police?"

Is there something else I forgot to ask her?

Lu Yanran quickly walked to the door, raised her eyes to the peephole and looked out.

However……

When she brought her eyes to the cat's eye, her whole body trembled!

The knocking on the door continues.

However, there was no one outside the door!

Yes, no one!

She took a few steps back, rubbed her eyes, and looked through the peephole again.

There's still no one outside the door!

But the knocking on the door still continued!

How can it be? ? ?

For a moment, she suddenly thought of her husband Zhang Bei's words, his mysterious disappearance, and the strange attitudes of her neighbors.

A sense of fear began to arise in her heart!

She kept backing up and asked in a trembling voice: "Who... who... who is it?"

She was still thinking about the possibilities that could reasonably explain this phenomenon. For example, who recorded the sound of knocking on the door, and where did they hide it and play it for her to listen to?

"No...don't make such a joke with me!"

Outside, the knocking on the door still continued.

At this moment, Lu Yanran suddenly thought of something.

She immediately turned back and looked at the meat on the table!

She didn't take one gram of raw meat in the morning and evening as Zhang Bei said!

At this time, how could she still have the patience to defrost raw meat in the microwave? She went to the kitchen, opened the cabinet, took out a kitchen knife from there, then ran to the raw meat and chopped it into pieces!

Then...

Something happened that she couldn't believe.

When the knife was chopped, it easily penetrated into the raw meat that was frozen as hard as a rock in the refrigerator!

Not only that, but from it, red... blood also flowed out!

Is the cooling function of the refrigerator broken? How long had it been since she took the meat out? How could it have defrosted at room temperature?

But she couldn't care less at this time. After she chopped off the meat, she carefully chopped off some minced meat. She estimated that it should be two grams, and quickly stuffed the meat into her mouth!

After putting it in my mouth, I didn’t feel ice at all! At the same time, there was no taste.

She quickly swallowed the meat into her mouth, and after swallowing it, she wondered if it would be of any use.

"Boom..."

Almost not even a second after she swallowed the meat, there was a knock on the door... and it ended!

"this……"

Could it be that it was really because she ate this meat?

If it was a coincidence, the timing was too accurate, right?

However, this made her believe in one thing even more.

Zhang Bei didn't lie to her! Everything he said was true!

Although she knew it was probably meaningless, she still walked to the cat's eye and looked outside.

Outside... naturally there is still no one.

"Calm down...calm down...calm down..."

Lu Yanran picked up her phone and started searching online.

She entered the words "eat raw meat to ward off evil spirits".

However, there is no such thing as raw meat that can ward off evil spirits. However, some people used raw meat as sacrifices to the dead.

"No...that's wrong...this meat?"

She walked to the refrigerator, opened it, and confirmed... the refrigerator's cooling function was absolutely fine. The other meat in the quick-freezer was as hard as ever. If you cut it with a kitchen knife, there would be no reaction at all.

She walked back to the raw meat and planned to take a closer look, but she discovered something even more horrifying.

The gap she had just made in this piece of meat, the blood, and other cut-off flesh...

All gone!

There was only a very square piece of frozen raw meat left!

Seeing this scene, Lu Yanran was completely dumbfounded.

Today, too many things happened that cannot be explained by common sense.

At this moment, Lu Yanran began to realize a terrifying fact.

There might be... "dirty things" in this building that she had heard mentioned by the older generation in the countryside!
