Chapter 7 Darkness

honestly……

Hai Yunlan is now less wary of Song Ran.

Although she still had no impression of her in her memory, at least she could see that Song Ran really cared about her. This kind of care from the heart was difficult to perform.

At least for Hai Yunlan, she at least felt that Song Ran had no ill intentions towards her.

"Listen up, Yun Lan, no matter what, don't offend the people of the Faceless Society." Song Ran lowered his voice and said, "They are more terrifying than you think."

"This group of people committed rape, robbery, and committed all kinds of evil, so I can understand why they wear masks. But why do even the police wear masks?"

This point is the most puzzling to Hai Yunlan.

This doesn't make sense at all.

"at this point……"

"Aren't you trying to tell me because you're afraid of retaliation? Are the people from the Faceless Society already so arrogant?"

"Yes." Song Ran nodded and said, "The Faceless Society is so scary, not to mention they have a protective umbrella behind them."

"No." Hai Yunlan still felt something was wrong: "If that's the case, the police don't need to wear masks at all, right? Anyway, in this small Southeast Asian country, the police and gangsters collude, and they are all the same people."

Song Ran didn't expect that Hai Yunlan would discover the flaw in his words so quickly.

"Is there some other reason why they wear masks? Is it the same reason as the Faceless Society?"

In fact, everyone in the Faceless Society wears a mask, strictly keeps the identity of the members secret, and even uses voice changers. This is extremely outrageous. If the Faceless Society is really so smart and has a protective umbrella, then how can it be so

Worried about your identity being leaked?

Combined with the behavior of all police officers wearing masks, Hai Yunlan found it even more incredible.

What is the real reason they are wearing masks or face coverings?

"sinner……"

Suddenly, she realized the problem.

This method of face-to-face meeting is simply like...

"Remember, Yun Lan, if you have nothing to do, don't go out."

Before Song Ran left, he reminded Hai Yunlan again and again on this point.

"I know, I won't go out..."

After Song Ran left, Hai Yunlan wandered indoors alone.

She was thinking about all the strange and bizarre phenomena happening on the island.

Then, the black skeleton appeared in her mind again!

This is one of the few things on this island that she feels she has seen before!

She didn't even remember her mother and uncle at all, but she felt familiar with the black skeleton!

"Sinner... black skull..."

She didn't know why, but when she thought of sinners, the black skull subconsciously appeared in her mind.

"What on earth is that black skull..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

She immediately walked to the door and asked warily: "Who...who is it?"

"Hello, I'm a police officer."

As soon as she heard the word "police", Hai Yunlan realized that she was probably here to ask about the death of the man and woman.

This is normal. The body is so close to here, so it is reasonable for the police to come for routine questioning.

However, she still had a trace of vigilance and asked: "Are you... the police?"

"Well, yes. I'm from the small town police department."

"Do you have a police ID?"

A confused voice came from outside: "Did you just say... police card?"

Hai Yunlan suddenly realized...

They all wear masks, so I'm afraid they won't easily show the police witnesses.

"That's enough, open the door for me. Let's ask a few questions and then leave. If you don't open the door, it means there is something wrong in your mind. You have to think about it carefully."

Hearing this, Hai Yunlan knew that it was obviously impossible not to open the door.

She could only open the door.

There were two policemen in police uniforms and white masks standing outside the door.

"Is there anything... you want to ask me?"

The policeman standing in front said: "Listen carefully. You know that someone died in front of your house, right?"

"Yes, I know……"

"I want to know some details and compare the case. What did you see last night?"

"I saw……"

"Wait a minute." Another police officer interrupted her and said, "Before you answer, you have to think carefully. Did you sleep very early and very deeply last night, so you didn't see anything?

"

"I……"

"Don't answer so quickly," another policeman said: "Think clearly before answering, and talking nonsense will cause trouble. Are you right? Well, if you talk nonsense, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

It’s hard to guarantee what will happen if there is trouble.”

Hai Yunlan understood.

They are not here to understand the situation at all.

They are here to threaten the residents nearby.

Can this still be considered a police officer?

"Oh," the policeman in front said hurriedly: "How can you talk like that? Didn't I say that you have to pay attention to work methods and don't scare people. Miss, now answer me carefully, did you see anything last night?

?”

Hai Yunlan bit her lip and said, "My mother and I went to bed very early last night and slept very deeply... I didn't see or hear anything."

The police continued to ask: "So are you sure you didn't see the murderer, right? You don't know who killed them?"

"I didn't see it...I don't know either."

"Can you promise that no matter who asks you in the future, you will answer this way?"

"Of course... of course."

"That's good. If you say something different from what you just said in front of others in the future, it will be a lie in front of us. Then we can only ask you to go to the police station."

"I, I understand."

After getting a satisfactory answer, the two people left.

Hai Yunlan weakly closed the door.

She just felt trembling all over.

This group of people, wearing police uniforms, actually do this kind of thing!

"They didn't even show me their police ID... They were just like the group of people from the Faceless Society, sneaking around and hiding their heads..."

As time goes on...

About two hours later, someone knocked on the door again.

Hai Yunlan came to the door and asked: "Who is it?"

"Hello. My name is Su Wen, and I am your neighbor. I have something... I want to talk to you about."

"I'm sorry, I'm alone at home now, it's not very convenient..."

"I saw it. Last night... I saw you coming out to cover Ayu's body with clothes. At that time, Ayu wasn't dead yet, right? I saw it all."

"What do you want to say?" Hai Yunlan suddenly became alert.

"I...I know what happened to your father. When you were only sixteen years old, your family was forced to kneel down, and then you had to publicly declare that your father was a sinner. You and your family had to condemn your father and list his crimes.

Completely draw a line with him. But everyone knows that your father... is a good man."

"My father..."

Hai Yunlan wanted to ask more questions, but by asking, she would reveal her amnesia.

"At six o'clock... I made an appointment with Ayu's father to meet somewhere. I hope you go and meet him. What did Ayu say to you before he died, right?"

"No……"

"I know, I know, you are scared. But, I really can't stand it anymore. Ayu's father was my former teacher. After he retired, his health deteriorated day by day. He has been counting on Ayu all his life. Now... Ayu is dead.

There is no hope for his life. At least, you can tell him the identity of one of the murderers."

"I don't know the identity of the murderer..."

"It's your choice on this matter. I'll give you an address. At six o'clock, you can choose to see Ayu's father or not. No matter which way you choose, I can understand."

Then, a note was slipped into the crack of the door.

"If you choose not to go, I will not come to you in the future, nor will I tell anyone else about it. Then...goodbye."
