Chapter 9: Street hike

An ominous premonition enveloped the police's heart.

A family of four mysteriously disappeared,

Could it be that he had been killed?

Xu Mengmeng discussed with the three girls. She wanted to call the police, but everyone felt that the police would not file a case at all. Instead, they felt that this was a prank. Xu Mengmeng's sleepwalking behavior was different from ordinary people. It was difficult for the police to believe that a girl would bring back a blood dagger during sleepwalking. What's more, the blood on the knife might not be human blood, but pig blood or chicken blood. The most important thing is that there is no definite evidence that a crime occurred when and where, the police would not come to the police. Maybe they think Xu Mengmeng was mentally ill and suggested that she go to see a doctor.

However, where did this knife come from?

The result of the discussion between the four girls was to throw the knife away. The other three girls quickly forgot about this, and only Xu Mengmeng fell into worries and felt vaguely in her heart that something unexpected would happen.

From that day on, Xu Mengmeng was in a daze and began to feel that someone was following her.

Every afternoon after school, she goes to the snack street at the school gate to buy things. More than once, she feels that someone is watching her behind her back. The man stands under a tree or hides behind a telephone pole, staring at her secretly. She turns around, but only sees the crowds around her, nothing unusual.

Xu Mengmeng once called her mother and told her implicitly that she had been followed and took photos.

Unfortunately, this incident did not attract the attention of my mother. My mother thought it was a prank among middle school students.

Those photos were sent by a stranger. The man added Xu Mengmeng's WeChat and did not say anything. Instead, he sent a lot of photos, and then deleted and blocked Xu Mengmeng. Those photos looked ordinary life photos, all of them were taken secretly. Xu Mengmeng looked carefully and found that each photo had a common person - herself.

Most of the photos only take pictures of her back, there are photos of her buying milk tea at the school gate, there are photos of her having fun with her classmates, there are photos of her taking a bus, and all kinds of life details were secretly taken, just like this mysterious person is always by her side. The most terrifying thing is that the last few photos were taken in her dormitory. She had the habit of taking a nap at noon, and those photos had her sleeping posture, and even her facial close-ups. It can be seen that the photographer was very close to her at that time, and perhaps only one step away, but she was completely unaware of it.

Xu Mengmeng told Dazha Mei about all this strange series of **s. Dazha Mei then told her deskmate, and her deskmate told her friends, so that Xiao Ruoli could find out from the side.

Bao Zhan checked the surveillance videos of the school and surrounding streets. Based on her sleepwalking time and walking route, he quickly outlined the entire process of these strange and strange things. The bloody knife and the mysterious tracking photographer were also revealed.

Many people have had sleepwalking. Some people engage in more complex activities during sleepwalking, such as going out to the streets, taking utensils, avoiding vehicles or obstacles, and even conducting some dangerous activities, such as driving, climbing up windows, etc. News has also reported on the ** of sleepwalking and killing people.

Due to the pressure of the college entrance examination, Xu Mengmeng's sleepwalking behavior reached its peak.

She woke up that day and found that she was not lying on the bed in the dormitory, but standing at midnight

On the street, she was wearing a school uniform top, with a white skirt inside, and a book in her arms. There was no one on the street, the street lights were dim, and the wind blew up the plastic bags on the ground.

It was around twelve to forty in the middle of the night.

The surveillance monitor showed that Xu Mengmeng left the school around twelve o'clock.

At midnight, she sat up from the bed in the dormitory, put on a skirt, put on a school uniform coat, and held a book. She might subconsciously feel that it was time for class and she should go to the classroom. The surveillance video outside the teaching building also proved that she walked into the empty teaching building and sat alone in the dark classroom. She might have been stunned for a while, and then left the school. The school gate was a telescopic door, and the guard was sleeping, but she didn't see her climbing over the telescopic door and walking onto the street.

When she was sleepwalking, she walked to an intersection and knew that she could still wait for the red light.

The girl stood at the intersection and watched around, not knowing where to go. At this time, she made a strange move and stretched out one hand forward, as if an invisible person was holding her hand. She walked forward like an evil person, stretched one hand forward, her body stiff, and seemed a little reluctant. In this way, she inexplicably walked into a community. The community was called Xiangcheng Huafu, which belongs to a relatively high-end commercial residential area in the county town, and there was a surveillance in the elevator.

Xu Mengmeng casually pressed the 16th floor, stood in the elevator with disheveled hair, and smiled strangely at the elevator surveillance monitor.

This smile is creepy.

The elevator door opened, she stretched out one hand and walked out immediately. There was a gap of seven minutes in the middle. The police didn't know what she had done in the past seven minutes. Maybe she knocked on the door and walked into a family. Maybe she stood alone at the entrance of the elevator without saying a word. Seven minutes later, her figure appeared downstairs. She did not take the elevator but took the stairs downstairs.

Her figure appeared again in the surveillance screen at the door of a bank, with a knife in the book in her arms.

Xu Mengmeng took the elevator to the 16th floor, and after she got off, she had an extra knife.

Jiaxiang police immediately launched an investigation. Xiangcheng Huafu Community is a newly completed property with an occupancy rate of less than 50%. The 16th floor is the top floor, and there is only one family living there. The house opposite was not sold and no one lived. The family has four people, the couple and two children. The brother is in the fifth grade of elementary school and the younger sister goes to kindergarten.

Strangely, when the police arrived at this home, the security door was open, but the home was empty.

The police found one of their relatives through the property, but could not contact the couple, and neither of them could reach the phone number.

An ominous premonition enveloped the police. Could it be that the family of four had been killed and died after mysteriously disappearing?

Bao Zhan carefully inspected the scene. There were no obvious signs of fighting in the living room and bedroom, and there was no blood on the floor. There were dragon fruit cut in half on the kitchen cutting board. Half of them were bitten by someone, and a fruit knife was missing on the knife stand.

Bao Zhan said: "The lost fruit knife should have been taken away by Xu Mengmeng."

Sun Dayue said: "This girl walked into this family while sleepwalking and took away a fruit knife?"

Bao Zhan said: "Yes, that's right, I can only explain this."

Captain Huang of the Serious Crime Team said: "How did she enter this family? Knock on the door and enter? Also, why is the door open

?”

Bao Zhan said: "I checked the security door and found this thing under the door frame."

Baozhan picked up a plastic bottle cap in the certificate bag and showed it to everyone.

Bao Zhan said: "This family did not close the door when they went out because a bottle cap was stuck in the crack of the door. When Xu Mengmeng walked into this family, the door was open."

Captain Huang of the Serious Crime Team said: "Is the knife stained with human blood or the juice of dragon fruit?"

Bao Zhan said: "We can't find the knife, and we can't easily draw conclusions. The most important thing now is to find this family. Where did they go?"

The investigation soon made new progress, and the family drove on a trip and never came back.

Police salvaged a car from a river under a bridge on the Rilan Expressway. In the car, the couple and two children all died. The four of them died of drowning, not murder, but just a traffic accident. The body of the deceased was taken back by the family and buried in the soil.

If Xu Mengmeng hadn't accidentally broke into this house while sleepwalking and took away a knife, which caused the police to investigate, their bodies would not know how long they would have to be soaked in the water. The dead were the most important and the peace would be in the soil. It might have been God's will in the dark.

Sun Dayue said: "Maybe the dead man sent a dream to Xu Mengmeng, otherwise it would have been so coincidental."

Captain Huang of the Serious Crime Team said: "You are really superstitious when you are dead."

Bao Zhan said: "I noticed Xu Mengmeng's gesture when she was dreaming, as if something was holding her hand and walking forward."

Captain Huang of the Serious Crime Team said: "Sleepwalking is a very strange thing."

Sun Dayue said: "Xu Mengmeng entered this family and didn't know if the light was turned on. She might have been fumbled in the dark and found the sofa and sat for a while, or lie on the bed of the couple of the deceased for a while, then entered the kitchen, cut the dragon fruit and took a bite. As for why she took away the fruit knife, it might be that the ghosts of the four deceased were right next to her, and said to her, "Hold it, hold it, hold this knife to help us. We can't get to the world or the ground. It's so uncomfortable to soak in water. Please help us."

Captain Huang of the Serious Crime Team said: "You are really scary."

That night, Xu Mengmeng left the community with a knife. She turned into Yanwu Road. This road was a vegetable market during the day and was lonely at night.

The police checked the surveillance cameras of shops along the street. The screen showed a figure wearing a black sportswear with hats, putting his hands in his jeans pockets, quickly walked behind Xu Mengmeng, hugged her suddenly, first touched her hands a few times, then turned her body, held her face, and kissed her.

Xu Mengmeng did not struggle. The man kissed her for more than ten seconds, and then ran away with a big stride.

After this kiss, he woke up like a dream. Xu Mengmeng stood on the street, feeling confused.

She couldn't remember what had just happened, from leaving school to waking up on the street, the whole sleepwalking time lasted for forty minutes.
Chapter completed!
