"Still no one answered, forget it, I'll leave the school first."
An inexplicable emotion spread in Gao Ruxue's heart. She was very uneasy now and felt there was something wrong with everything she looked at.
"Master, drive faster, I have something urgent."
The confined space made Gao Ruxue a little breathless. She opened the car window and the wind messed up her hair.
Gazing across the crowded crowd, Gao Ruxue could not feel any excitement. She always felt that someone somewhere was looking at her.
"Are you a student of Hanjiang Medical College? It's best not to run around alone at night. It's been a bit chaotic lately." The driver grabbed the steering wheel and said casually: "There have been several murders in the city late at night these days.
The man was so miserable, I heard his eyes were gouged out. I didn’t mean to scare you. Before catching the murderer, it’s best to stay in school at night.”
The driver may have good intentions, but the words changed in Gao Ruxue's ears, and she couldn't help but start thinking wildly.
Murder? How many in a row? Why did he let me go back to the dormitory? Is he the murderer?
In Gao Ruxue's eyes, the driver's ordinary face turned a little sinister, and every tiny movement seemed to contain malice.
Holding the phone tightly, Gao Ruxue didn't reply. She turned to look out the window, occasionally glancing at the driver secretly.
Twenty minutes later, the taxi drove to Qixiahu Community, the house that Dr. Gao bought in Hanjiang two years ago.
After paying the fare, Gao Ruxue hurriedly got off the car. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and there were already fewer people coming and going in the community.
Qixia Lake Community is a relatively high-end community in Jiujiang, with a beautiful environment and Qixia Lake next to it, but the location is a little remote.
Entering the community, the street lights emitted a shallow white light. Gao Ruxue walked forward quickly with her head lowered. She did not dare to look at the trees on both sides. The green belt in the middle of the night seemed a bit scary.
"It's broken. The books and water glasses are all in the taxi." She was in a hurry when she got off and accidentally forgot her things in the taxi.
The water cup doesn't matter, the book will be used in class later. Thinking of this, Gao Ruxue became even more irritable.
The taxi has already left, and it's impossible to go back and pick it up now.
He glanced at the time on his phone and saw that it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. There were almost no other people in the community, but the bright lights in the buildings in the distance gave Gao Ruxue some peace of mind.
Qixia Lake Community has its own small garden. After passing through it, Gao Ruxue came to Building 3. Her family lived on the 13th floor of Building 3.
“The community is so quiet today.”
Entering the corridor, Gao Ruxue felt a chill on her exposed arms. She clapped her hands and waited for the voice-activated light to turn on before daring to move forward.
Compared with the past, there seemed to be no changes in the community, but Gao Ruxue always felt that something was not right.
The words the driver said to her in the car flashed from time to time, including murder, eye-gouging and other sentences, as if a rope was slowly tightening her neck.
"Could that driver be the murderer?"
"I think his tone of voice is very strange. The serial murders happened in different places. The murderer was able to commit the crime quickly in one night. He must have used transportation. The murderer is most likely a taxi driver."
"Did the deceased sit in the seat I sat in? Are there any bloody crime tools hidden in the trunk?"
The more Gao Ruxue thought about it, the more frightened she became. She had to look back every few steps. She was worried that someone would suddenly appear behind her.
Leaning against the wall and walking to the elevator, Gao Ruxue pressed the button on the elevator. When the elevator door opened, the voice-activated light went out.
Darkness suddenly fell, and Gao Ruxue's body froze at the elevator door. She vaguely saw a dark human silhouette in the elevator!
"Snapped!"
The sound of clapping came from the elevator, and a man in a raincoat passed Gao Ruxue and walked out of the corridor.
"Raincoat? It's not raining outside."
The wide brim of the hat covered the man's face. He was not tall, and the large raincoat directly covered his legs and shoes.
The man left in a hurry, and there was no blood or anything suspicious on his raincoat.
"Is it possible that it will rain at night?" Gao Ruxue glanced at the weather forecast on her mobile phone and saw that there would be showers in the second half of the night: "Weird person."
Gao Ruxue didn't dare to enter the elevator until the man left.
The lights illuminated the corridor, and she watched the elevator door slowly close. An indescribable feeling of depression suddenly emerged. She felt like a fish thrown on the shore, and it was difficult to even breathe.
"It's better not to take the elevator." Gao Ruxue reached out to block the elevator door that was about to close, and walked out again. She had a very bad feeling when she looked at the elevator car.
After running into the safety passage, Gao Ruxue started to climb the stairs. There seemed to be no end to the stairs. When she reached the sixth floor, she heard the sound of the safety door on the first floor. It seemed that someone else had entered the safety passage.
"Is someone following me?"
Gao Ruxue suddenly thought of the weird man in the raincoat, and at the same time, the taxi driver's words began to appear in her mind.
"The man in the raincoat is the murderer of the serial murders? Did he just kill a person in this building?!" Gao Ruxue's face turned pale: "I accidentally discovered his murder, does he want to follow me now?
Attack me?"
Gao Ruxue deliberately slowed down her pace at first and tried not to make too much noise, but under the pressure of fear, she ran faster and faster.
"I have to get home quickly!"
There were faint sounds of footsteps downstairs, and there seemed to be another person chasing upstairs in the safe passage!
The distance gradually narrowed, and Gao Ruxue ran upstairs as hard as she could. Her home was on the thirteenth floor, and now there seemed to be five floors between them.
Running to the corner of the thirteenth floor in one breath, Gao Ruxue pushed open the emergency passage door and rushed into the corridor.
She rummaged in her pocket to find the key. The footsteps in the corridor became clearer and clearer, and the man was following her!
Her fingers were a little stiff, so Gao Ruxue tried twice before inserting the key into the keyhole. She turned the key and opened the security door outside. At this time, the sound in the safe passage was approaching, probably only one floor away from her.
"Quick!"
After finding the key to the door inside, Gao Ruxue stuffed it into the keyhole, and the footsteps in her ears turned into the sound of running!
The other party has also reached the thirteenth floor!
The snap spring bounced, and the door inside was opened. Gao Ruxue entered the house directly without closing the security door outside.
She turned around and closed the door inside, then leaned against the door and began to breathe heavily.
"finally arrived at home."
After adjusting her breathing, Gao Ruxue lay on the door panel inside and looked out through the peephole.
There was not a soul in the dark corridor, and the doors of each house were locked. Only in Gao Ruxue's place, the security door outside was ajar.
