Highlight! It can be regarded as a parallel time and space of Shen Qiu. The protagonist is still Shen Qiu, but he has changed his identity and profession]
"In the murder case on the rainy night of March 16, the police took away the witnesses for interrogation, but the testimony given by Mr. Shen Qiu, who claimed to be a novelist by profession, was horrifying."
The handsome novelist had dark blue eyes. When he mentioned the circumstances of the case, his voice was slightly tense due to emotion.
"He died in front of me"
"The way of death is exactly the same as the suspense novel I wrote."
"The murderer is reading my book and looking at me."
——
Shen Qiu is a new generation suspense novelist. After finally submitting a new completed novel to the editor, he decided to take a short trip to escape from the novel world.
Shen Qiu, who loves hiking, sets his sights on an ancient mountain village with only one old hotel. It was the off-season, so he and two college students, a boy and a girl, were the only ones in the store. And the shop owner: an old man over fifty years old.
Everything went smoothly and very normally.
Until the rainy night on the third day of stay. Shen Qiu was awakened by thirst in his sleep. While drinking water, he saw a tragedy happening on a rainy night through the curtains that were not tightly drawn.
The male college student was hung upside down from the patio of the store, and his blood mixed with rainwater flowed into the well water they usually drank.
The murderer was facing him, wearing a black raincoat and a black ghost mask.
As if on purpose, the evil ghost looked directly at him and cut off the male student's genitals with a knife, then left quickly in the heavy rain.
The heavy rain washed away all traces. If it weren't for the scene in the courtyard that was exactly the same as the first murder case in his novel, Shen Qiu would have almost suspected that this was a nightmare he had.
——
Shen Qiu stayed at home for half a month, gradually recovering from the rainy night murder.
He took a bath for himself, changed into clean and soft clothes, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.
The quiet room was filled with the sound of TV news in an instant.
"A horrific murder occurred in our city yesterday. The deceased was tied to a chair at home, facing the door, and several major arteries on his body were cut. When he was found, he had already bled to death. The police of this city..."
"Dong dong." A knock on the door sounded in the serious voice of the news anchor. Shen Qiu came back to his senses with a start. The hand holding the phone had already turned white with force.
He stood up, walked slowly to the door, and opened the door mechanically.
The shining police badge almost stung his eyes for a moment.
The second murder case, exactly the same as in his novel, appeared again.
Purpose: The law always prevails over crime.
