For the next week, fine snow fell from the sky in Xiangcheng day and night.
At first, the residents were very excited. After all, it had never snowed in the urban area since Xiangcheng. The last time it snowed was on the top of the mountain nearly fifty years ago.
But as the snow gets thicker, it becomes more difficult for residents who lack supplies to go out.
At first, Yu Yanqun organized people from each building to clean up the snow in the community. However, as the snow became thicker and thicker, fewer and fewer people were willing to participate, and the cleaning operation was shelved.
As temperatures drop, so does the bad news.
Not long after the restoration, the network and power were interrupted again. At night, Xiangcheng, with thousands of lights on, returned to darkness, and social order was once again chaotic.
He Yuehua also went to several families to treat illnesses and earned a lot of supplies. Although most of them were inedible, He Yuehua also accumulated a lot of experience in her medical skills.
Among the patients He Yuehua treats, in addition to cold and frostbite, more and more are injured due to attacks while going out. Once, even Tangtang's adoptive father, Mo Zicheng, was slightly injured when he went out to search for supplies and returned to Building 2.
Building No. 2 also launched a building inspection operation again due to a shortage of supplies, with Liu Feiyang, Zhang Linlin and He Yuehua participating.
The cold wave took away the lives of many old and weak people, and due to the long-term shortage of supplies, not much food was distributed during this round of building inspection. With the consent of everyone on the twelfth floor, the food was donated to Tangtang's family.
One day after lunch, when everyone was chatting around a campfire in the corridor, they started talking about the progress of Xiaomei's murder case.
"The last time we went to inspect the building, the otaku in 903 hanged himself. It's true that evil people are rewarded with evil." Zhang Linlin said.
"Oh? Why did you commit suicide?" Chen Yuanyuan asked
"The one who hanged himself in the kitchen. There are bloody scratches everywhere in his house. The nails on all ten fingers are missing. There is still something rotten stewed in the soup pot in the kitchen. He must be crazy." He Yuehua thought of that. The scene couldn't help but shudder.
"Chen, have you found out what happened?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"Well, it's quite cruel." Shen Yichen sighed and told them the whole story.
Xiaomei has been keeping herself closed since she was violated by Mr. Feng, a middle-aged otaku from 903. She was originally optimistic and outgoing and has been hiding at home without facing anyone.
Vice Chairman Fang usually pays attention to Xiaomei and has always had a good impression of her. He didn't see Xiaomei posting messages in the group for several days, so he took the initiative to care about her and learned about Xiaomei's experience.
Vice Chairman Fang was originally a psychiatrist, so he took the initiative to enlighten Xiaomei. Although the trauma of being violated was difficult for Xiaomei to forget, he also gave up the idea of committing suicide under Vice Chairman Fang's psychological treatment.
On the day of the incident, Xiaomei personally prepared fried rice for Vice Chairman Fang to thank him for his explanations in recent days.
Xiaomei, who had just finished cooking, was about to make another soup when she found that the salt at home had long been used up, so she went to the family of three in 904 next door to borrow it.
That day, Mr. Cai, a painter, happened to be teaching the owner's children to draw in Room 904 in exchange for food. When he saw the young and beautiful Xiaomei, he felt evil.
When she learned that Xiaomei was going to invite Vice Chairman Fang to the dinner tonight, she secretly went to Room 902 and knocked on the door after class.
When Xiaomei heard the knock on the door, she thought Vice Chairman Fang was here. When she opened the door and realized it was the painter, she was stunned. Before she could react, the painter pushed her into the room and assaulted Xiaomei.
After the painting was done, the painter went so far as to gouge out Xiaomei's eyes. During the process, Xiaomei struggled desperately, and the painter knocked Xiaomei unconscious.
When the painter saw Xiaomei motionless, he panicked and thought he had committed murder. He hurriedly put Xiaomei's eyeballs into his painting bag and hurriedly escaped from the stairs. On the way, he met Vice Chairman Fang who was going upstairs.
Vice Chairman Fang did not expect that he would pass by the prisoner at the time. When he arrived at Xiaomei's house, he found that the door was not closed, so he rushed into the house to rescue Xiaomei who had her eyes gouged out.
When Xiaomei woke up, she was mentally and physically traumatized and had a mental breakdown. She kept banging her body everywhere and hurting herself crazily. Even if Vice Chairman Fang controlled her actions, Xiaomei kept begging Vice Chairman Fang to let her die.
Vice Chairman Fang looked at Xiaomei, who was blind and half-clothed. In addition to the physical pain, his soul had also been devastated.
Realizing that her life was more painful than death at this moment, she decided to let her leave after Xiaomei's begging.
Vice Chairman Fang personally arranged her clothes, helped her leave the bedroom where she had been victimized time and time again, took her to the bathroom, put a tank of warm water for her, and personally slit his wrist to end her life.
Vice Chairman Fang accompanied Xiaomei, watching her life slowly passing by, ending her painful life, and then left the 9th floor in despair.
"Then why did the painter gouge out her eyes?" Zhang Linlin asked.
"I researched the artist's information. He was originally a dazzling star in the art world, but after he was diagnosed with glaucoma two years ago, his eyesight gradually declined, making his paintings worse and worse, and he also suffered from psychological problems. "Shen Yichen said.
"How did you find out in such detail?" He Yuehua asked in surprise.
"The people in Room 902 saw the painter and Vice Chairman Fang going in and out of the stairs in the cat's eye that day, and there were blood stains on their clothes, so they moved out overnight. I later found a way to contact them and found out by following the clues." Shen Yichen said.
"Although technically the murderer is Vice Chairman Fang, the more hateful thing is the otaku and the painter. They are the real murderers of Xiaomei." Chen Yuanyuan said calmly.
"After I found out about it, I went to the ninth floor and met Vice Chairman Fang. I asked him some information about Xiaomei and deduced it." Shen Yichen said.
"He didn't do anything to you, right?" Zhang Linlin asked.
"He didn't tell me the truth. He was vague. After asking a general question, he left." Shen Yichen said.
"Are you stupid? What can Brother Chen do if he is here? Besides, Vice Chairman Fang may not be able to beat Brother Chen." Liu Feiyang knocked Zhang Linlin on the head.
"After he left, I investigated on the ninth floor for a while. The suicide of Mr. Feng in 903 was probably forced by Vice Chairman Fang." Shen Yichen thought of finding phosphorus powder and some hallucinogenic psychotropic drugs in Room 903. According to the Otaku on Xiaomei's mobile phone This is the inference from the crazy talk.
"That painter is probably tortured to the point of death." Chen Yuanyuan recalled the screams she heard when she passed by the 7th floor two days ago.
"Well, after all, mental torture is more painful than physical injury." Shen Yichen couldn't help but frown when he thought of the mental torture he suffered when he was under house arrest in Anjia in his previous life.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at the frowning Shen Yichen and knew that he was remembering the events of his previous life, so she took the initiative to hold his cold hand.
Unexpectedly, Vice Chairman Fang was also a ruthless character. Although killing Xiaomei was what she wanted, she still had certain means to torture the otaku Mr. Feng to commit suicide without resorting to torture.
The cause of Xiaomei's death has come to light, and how Vice Chairman Fang tortures the painter next is his business, so Vice Chairman Fang just needs to keep an eye on it.
Is it the result of your guess? A murderer or not a murderer
