September 27th.
Andy, who had just come out of the cinema, looked at her boyfriend expectantly. In her boyfriend's backpack, there was a present for her.
It was her birthday present.
Her boyfriend thought he had bought it secretly, but when he asked his sister for her opinion, his sister, who had been bribed by her, turned around and told her what her boyfriend's present might be.
Plus, her boyfriend's roommates told her boyfriend's every move.
So, it wasn't hard to guess what the present was.
As for why those roommates helped her?
Because she also had roommates.
Her boyfriend's roommates were all single.
Everything was as she had expected.
She immediately picked up the latest bag, the kind with willow nails.
It was very nice!
Andy liked the black and metallic feel.
After a hot kiss, she carefully and tactfully rejected her boyfriend's request to take a step further. Andy smiled and carried her bag into the dormitory building.
She couldn't wait to let those three guys see her spoils of war.
They would definitely be jealous!
But to Andy's surprise, when she opened the door, she found that there was no one there.
Not only was there no one, but her dormitory also had a power outage.
"Bad night."
Andy mumbled softly. She was going to use her phone as a light source, but just as she took out her phone, a sudden sentence came from behind her.
"Bad night."
The same sentence.
The same tone.
It was completely talking to herself.
But Andy made sure that she didn't speak.
She held her bag, held her phone, shone it behind her, and shouted loudly.
"Who?!"
"Come out!"
"Annie?"
"I see you, you bitches, love to play these little tricks."
"Come out!"
The door behind her was empty, and no one answered her.
But the repeated words followed.
"Who?!"
"Come out!"
"Annie?"
"I see you, you bitches, love to play these little tricks."
"Come out!"
For the first time, Andy thought it was a joke from her roommates. Although she was shocked, she wasn't afraid. Because they often played this kind of game.
But this time was different.
Andy felt a little scared.
She turned around again, hoping to use her phone to light up the dormitory behind her. She saw her roommates laughing evilly after getting what they wanted.
But.
There was nothing.
The layout of the dormitory was the same as before she left.
Even the remaining half of the tiramisu on the table had not changed.
"Hey, guys, come on out."
"I'll admit you guys scared me a little."
Andy said as he retreated.
Her hand was already on the doorknob, and she twisted it slightly.
The door opened.
Andy continued to retreat.
She prepared to leave the dormitory and return to the brightly lit corridor.
Light shone in from behind. Andy was slightly relieved, and he stepped back.
Then …
He stepped on empty air.
The light disappeared.
The darkness that was even deeper than the dormitory had completely devoured Andy.
Ah!
Andy's screams were still echoing.
Creak.
The opened door slowly closed.
Everything became silent.
…
"Why isn't Andy back yet?"
Li Qianqian was wearing pink pajamas, hugging a bunny pillow as she sat on her bed and yawned.
"She must be entangled with her boyfriend!"
"I want to catch her by the tail and let her know that our sisters' rules are not to be broken!"
Miranda, who had tanned skin and a fit body, said solemnly. However, her rolling eyes indicated that she was plotting something in her heart.
"So, punishment is necessary!"
Anna, who was wearing glasses, said when she saw her roommate's reaction.
"Punishment! Punishment! "
Li Qianqian, who was about to fall asleep a moment ago, jumped down from her bed.
The three of them quickly set up the trap.
One of them went into the closet.
One stood behind the door.
And the last one hid under the bed.
They wanted to scare their roommates.
Miranda was the one hiding behind the door.
As a sports talent student, she was tall and fit, even stronger than the average guy. She couldn't hide under the bed or in the closet.
"Do you guys think Andy will really get that bag?"
"I want it too!"
"But if I carry that bag, those guys will laugh at me!"
"And that bag is so expensive, I might as well buy a new pair of sports shoes … Hey, Qianqian, Anna, you don't have to be so serious, right?"
"Andy isn't back yet."
"We can talk."
Miranda said as she opened the cabinet.
Inside the closet, clothes were hung messily and piled up, but Qianqian Lee was nowhere to be seen.
"Qianqian?"
Miranda was stunned for a moment, then she turned around and lifted the bed cover.
There was no one under the bed either.
"Sisters, that's enough."
"We're trying to scare Andy. It's not my fault."
Miranda frowned.
She had become the target of pranks because of her.
Then, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable at the back of her neck.
It was a little itchy and cold.
She turned around.
Hair?
A lock of hair hanging down from above appeared before her eyes.
Looking at the hair behind him, Milan subconsciously looked up along the strand of hair.
A pale face with black eyes and bulging veins appeared in front of her.
Aaaargh!
Miranda screamed and fell to the ground.
She gasped for air.
She used her hands and feet to back away.
When she reached the door, fear made her push the door open and run out without a second thought.
Then …
She fell!
…
September 28th.
Lin Miaomiao was tidying up before work.
She hung the clothes back on the hanger and cleaned the fitting room. It was a must.
Knock, Knock Knock.
"Hello, is anyone here?"
Lin Miaomiao knocked on the door.
No one answered, so Lin Miaomiao pushed the door open and walked in.
There were no clothes in the fitting room.
But the slippers were messy.
She had to put them in order, otherwise her salary would be deducted.
She squatted down and put the slippers in the right place.
Knock, Knock Knock.
"Hello, is anyone here?"
Knocks on the door followed by a questioning voice.
Lin Miaomiao stood up in surprise.
She was the night attendant today. Although she wasn't the only one, as a newcomer, she had to deal with these trivial matters.
"Is that you, Manager?"
From Lin Miaomiao's point of view, only the kind manager would help her at this time.
Lin Miaomiao opened the unlocked fitting room door as she asked.
There was no one outside.
The broadcast in the mall sounded again.
"Welcome to Aike Mall, our business hours are from 10 am to 10 pm. There are still 15 minutes before we close, so please take your belongings and leave in an orderly manner … Zzzz, Zzzz!"
Wung!
The announcement that repeated itself a thousand times was suddenly interrupted by a series of static noises.
The noise was so loud that Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but cover her ears.
Then …
Pak!
A clear noise later, all the lights went off.
Soon, the lights came back on.
The passionate manager realized Lin Miaomiao, the newcomer, was gone. The fitting room was still open and the slippers were placed properly, but Lin Miaomiao was gone.
He called the manager's phone, but it was busy.
The situation didn't change the next day, so the manager decided to call the police.
…
Bang!
The officers saw Chief Teddy slam the door and walk out of the interrogation room.
Without a doubt, the man they arrested wasn't the one they were looking for.
When Chief Teddy was in deep thought in front of the whiteboard, the officers around him didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Whoever dared to speak in this kind of situation would become the target of public criticism.
One thing worth noting was that the chief officer was small and skinny, but he had quite a hot temper.
Recently?
John Dickson's case and the disappearance of the teenage girls made the chief officer's nerves tense.
No one would dare to touch the bad luck in this kind of situation.
Even the young assistant partner was careful not to make a sound when he poured the coffee.
Teddy casually picked up the iced coffee.
There was no added sugar or milk. It was pure coffee.
The cold, bitter liquid refreshed Teddy, who had been staying up all night.
He gulped down the whole cup of coffee and stared at the whiteboard.
There were five pictures on the whiteboard.
Andy, 19 years old, Ai City University, sophomore, lost contact on September 27th.
Li Qianqian, 19 years old, Ai City University, sophomore, lost contact on September 27th.
Miranda, 19 years old, Ai City University, sophomore, lost contact on September 27th.
Anna, 19 years old, Ai City University, sophomore, lost contact on September 27th.
Lin MiaoMiao, 22 years old, shopping guide, lost contact on September 28th.
[Note 1: All the missing persons' social relations are clear, excluding hate killings and hate killings.]
[Note 2: All the missing persons disappeared mysteriously, no witnesses, no CCTV footage.]
[Note 3: When Lin MiaoMiao went missing, there was a short blackout.]
…
Each of the pictures was a young and beautiful girl with a bright smile, but the description below made the pictures look gloomy.
As the investigation went deeper, everyone's heart sank.
It had been half a month since the first mass disappearance, it was way past the best time to rescue them.
No one knew better than Teddy, the chief officer, what it meant to miss the best time to rescue them.
That was why he was getting more and more anxious.
He hoped to find a common point among the cases.
However, unlike the other missing persons cases, this one had a lot in common: young, beautiful, energetic girls, a similar family structure and so on.
When a path didn't work, one could always try another.
Therefore, when Teddy received news of Lin MiaoMiao's disappearance, he temporarily categorized it as a missing person case.
He hoped to find a difference between the cases.
If he couldn't find a common point, he would find a difference!
Something special always had its own meaning!
It was what the old chief officer told Teddy when he was still a police officer.
Now that he had become the chief officer, he still believed in the saying.
Sitting there, Teddy flipped through the files page by page.
Teddy had read the files more than ten times.
He could almost recite them backwards.
However, when he flipped through the files again, Teddy unconsciously thought of the girl that he had just met. Then, he quickly searched for more information.
A while later, Teddy stood up.
"Where is the girl?
Where did she go?
She left after her statement was taken. "
Teddy's subordinate answered.
"Send someone to get her back now!"
Teddy yelled.
Then, he rushed to the technical department.
Sending men was the first step, but he wouldn't just sit there and wait.
But he wouldn't just wait here. He needed to find out more details about the woman's route as soon as possible.
Soon enough, Teddy found the girl.
He staggered and staggered into the Leaf Dining.
"Here again?"
Chief Teddy frowned.
He then turned around and ran down the stairs.
Once or twice was enough to make anyone suspicious, let alone a police officer like Teddy. Teddy's heart was filled with speculations about the restaurant and the two brothers who kept appearing in his sight.
Teddy pushed the door open without any courtesy.
A single glance and Teddy saw Kieran behind the bar counter and Amy in the corner.
After making sure Amy was just drunk and nothing else, Teddy heaved a breath of relief and went back to the bar counter.
"Is she a regular?"
Although Teddy had a lot of guesses and questions in his heart, he didn't question Kieran. Instead, he acted like a normal customer, pointing at Amy out of curiosity and asking.
"Her?"
"Sort of.
I've been open for three days now.
"She came three times, and each time she was drunk."
Kieran was being honest.
"So, you wrote a notice saying that we don't sell alcohol to alcoholic customers?"
Teddy asked with a smile.
"It's not for her.
It's for all those who drink. "
Kieran replied.
"Do you know about the recent missing persons case?"
Teddy suddenly asked.
"Yes.
It's described in detail. "
Kieran took a newspaper and passed it to Teddy.
Teddy didn't even look at the report in the newspaper. He was too clear about the report. It was all groundless accusations and wild guesses.
What curse? What ghost? How was it possible?
"What do you think?"
Teddy stared at Kieran.
"What do you mean?
Are you talking about what's written in the newspaper?
Interesting, a good way to kill time at night. "
Kieran said as he put away the newspaper.
"You know, I'm not talking about this.
I'm asking for your opinion. "
Teddy said in a heavy tone.
"I have no opinion.
"The missing person case is your problem, not mine."
I'm just a restaurant owner, the kind that can barely make ends meet. So, if it's possible, can you give me the reward for John Dickson first? "
Kieran shook his head and said seriously.
Kieran then looked at the drunk Amy with the corner of his eyes.
'What a big problem!'
Kieran thought in his heart.
The moment Teddy appeared and asked about the missing persons case, plus his nervousness towards Amy, Kieran wasn't an idiot, he knew something was up.
However, he wasn't stupid enough to say it out loud.
Unless he wanted to get tangled up with Teddy.
"Is that so?"
Teddy sized up Kieran.
He hoped to see something from Kieran's face and eyes.
Unfortunately, hiding was second nature to Kieran, so Teddy didn't see anything.
Just when Teddy was thinking about whether he should bring Kieran back to the station for questioning, a loud noise came from outside.
"Boss, it's here!"
