"Fortunately, it went smoothly..."
Sure enough, there was no one in the empty elevator. Zhang Ke quickly pressed the button leading to the first floor, and then watched the numbers on the electronic screen in front of him getting smaller bit by bit.
9,8,7,6……
When the elevator passed the sixth floor, Zhang Ke could obviously hear the noise coming from outside through the gap.
One has a loud voice as rough as a broken gong, and the other has a thin, high-pitched voice. The former almost overwhelms the latter most of the time, but the latter seems to have been tit-for-tat without giving up.
Although I couldn't hear the specific content clearly, I was sure that the two people had a very heated argument and couldn't get along.
After a while, there was even a clanging sound, as well as a sharp scream from a thin throat. It was probably that they had already made a move.
Two crazy women, just have enough fun with each other first - Zhang Ke thought in his heart.
Just thinking of the girl with a single ponytail, who begged him not to break up with her before, and who hid in his arms like a bird to seek protection, Zhang Ke felt vaguely intolerable.
If the girl did not admit the wrong person, I am afraid that he is really her ex-boyfriend, and judging from the meaning of her words, was he the one who initiated the breakup?
Even though they are no longer lovers, I do feel a little guilty for leaving her to a middle-aged aunt with violent and manic tendencies.
It's just that now I can't protect myself, and I really can't care about a so-called ex-girlfriend who doesn't even have memories of the past.
The elevator continued to descend without any hindrance, and the surrounding noise became quiet again.
Zhang Ke had an inexplicable illusion, feeling that his soul was falling into the deepest part of hell along with the sinking elevator.
However, this is just an illusion after all.
Just like the elevator will eventually reach the bottom floor, Zhang Ke's desperate journey has just begun.
"Ding, first floor——"
As the pleasant elevator prompt sounded, Zhang Ke stared nervously at the increasingly wide crack in the door. He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that there was no one outside the door.
Everything so far has gone very smoothly, within the scope of my plan. After getting rid of the entanglement of the ponytail girl, the next thing to do is to escape as far as possible.
Zhang Ke walked out of the elevator and walked towards the apartment's electronically locked anti-theft door. He gently twisted the door lock knob on it, then reached out and pushed it outward.
——However, the huge security door did not move at all.
"what happened?"
Zhang Ke frowned, didn't he open the door by himself?
After all, I have almost no memory of the past, so I don't know how to open this door in the past.
However, from a common sense point of view, to open this type of security door from the inside of the apartment, generally just turn the knob on the door or press the button on the nearby wall.
He quickly glanced to the left and right, but there were no buttons to press on the walls on both sides. The only relevant thing was the knob in front of him.
Zhang Ke tried to turn the knob in the opposite direction again, but this time he failed to turn it at all, which further proves that the previous direction was correct.
"Strange, what is the problem?"
He tried to turn around several times, but the heavy iron gate in front of him was like a high wall between him and freedom, sealing Zhang Ke tightly in this desperate siege.
There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and the movements of his hands became more and more anxious. He even tried to use brute force to kick or break open this hateful door that seemed to be against him.
Unfortunately, the miracle still has not come.
"Why……"
Zhang Ke squatted down in despair, staring at the knob and keyhole of the iron door, observing the changes every time he turned it. Big beads of sweat kept streaking down the side of his face like meteors.
He noticed that his actions should be correct, because every time he turned the knob, the iron lock on the door would indeed become relatively looser, and the door would be easier to push outward, even almost completely.
But every moment before the door is about to be broken open, there is a strange resistance that pushes the almost opened door lock back to its original position, making the previous efforts in vain.
Are there any necessary requirements missing? A prop like an access card? But there is no place where you can swipe a card here.
If the delay continues, someone might come downstairs.
It wouldn't matter if it were someone else, but if the ponytail girl made enough noise and was ready to leave, I wouldn't even have a place to hide in this empty corridor on the first floor.
In a hurry, Zhang Ke accidentally turned the knob again.
But what was different from every time before was that a crisp "click" sound suddenly sounded at the fingertips.
The door opens gently to the outside, and the vast world across the door is just a step away.
But Zhang Ke's face was only filled with horror and panic that could not be concealed.
Because he didn't push the door open with his own hands.
"Comrade police! This is probably the latest serial murderer!"
Two middle-aged security guards with stout bodies and greasy hair were shouting loudly while opening the security door to both sides.
At the same time, several capable police officers swarmed in like a pack of swift and brave wolves.
They had a clear division of labor and acted decisively. They completely subdued Zhang Ke in an instant, locked his hands and shoulders from behind, and forced him to half kneel on the ground.
"Give up resistance! Don't move!"
The strong police officer led by him locked Zhang Ke's hands tightly with only one hand, and then handcuffed him with the other hand.
"Some people went upstairs to investigate, and the rest escorted the prisoner back with me."
Zhang Ke glanced at the man's police officer badge, which had the words "Yuan Chenggang" written on it. He had a shiny black crew cut and looked extremely decisive and capable.
The muscles were bulging under the man's sleeves, and the thin police uniform could not hide the strong and strong body underneath. It would be impossible for ordinary people to escape if they were directly detained by such a strong policeman.
"What are you looking at? Is the murderer so confident?" Yuan Chenggang gave Zhang Ke a hard look, then detained him and almost dragged him into a police car.
Along the way, Zhang Ke heard the two security guards pointing and talking next to him——
"Fortunately, I was more careful. I saw this man coming out of the tenth floor with blood on his body in the elevator monitor in the middle of the night, otherwise I would have let him run away."
"That's not because I reacted quickly and used the security room's remote operating system to lock the electronic lock on the security door of Building 12, so he couldn't escape."
Ah, so that's it... Zhang Ke finally understood the reason for this failure.
The lights in the elevator were bright, and the bloodstains on his chest were almost completely exposed on the monitor. It was also in the middle of the night, so naturally he immediately became the subject of great attention and vigilance.
