Hospital No. 444

Lu Yanran woke up this morning as always...

Sleepy-eyed, she subconsciously touched her husband Zhang Bei, who was sleeping next to her.

However, she didn't touch anything.

Lu Yanran immediately opened her eyes and saw...she was alone on the bed.

The place where the husband slept had no warmth at all.

Looking at the clock at this time, it was only six o'clock.

In her memory, her husband had never gotten up so early.

Lu Yanran got out of bed, put on her slippers, walked outside, and said, Husband? Husband? Where are you?

However, no one answered Lu Yanran.

There were no lights on in any room outside, and there were no signs of cooking in the kitchen. The husband's suit is still hanging on the hanger. He has been wearing this suit when going out for the past two days.

It's still three hours before my husband goes to work, and it only takes an hour for him to go to work. There's no need to go out so early, right?

She immediately returned to the room, picked up her charged mobile phone, and checked it.

Looking at it, she discovered...

From three o'clock in the morning to now, there are a dozen missed calls from my husband! But because she set the mute setting, she never received the call!

this……

Lu Yanran immediately called her husband's mobile phone.

She began to worry, would something happen?

In recent days, my husband seems to be very worried, and he seems to be a bit overeating. He has been buying food, and the refrigerator is almost full. Lu Yanran also asked him, but his answer was just about work pressure, so she could only advise him to be more open-minded. After she and her husband obtained the certificate six months ago, she quit her job and became a full-time housewife, so they no longer have anything in common in the workplace.

Now……

Is something really going to happen?

The phone was quickly connected.

Hey, hey, hubby? Are you okay? Where are you now?

Then, she immediately heard her husband's answer.

Yanran...I, I'm locked up now!

What? Lock up?

Listen to me, Yanran, I shouldn't be able to escape...Listen, Yanran, I have stored enough food at home. You listen to what I am going to say next. I have some food in the quick-freezer of the refrigerator. A red plastic bag of meat. Remember to eat at least one gram of raw meat every morning and evening. Remember it is raw meat! When I cook recently, I will give you this amount every time. Remember. , you must remember to eat at least one gram in the morning and evening! Another point, do not leave our building for more than twelve hours, definitely not for more than twelve hours! By the way, don’t call the police! Don’t talk to the police Say these things! Never!

Lu Yanran was stunned. Her brain couldn't receive so much key information for a while.

After eating, you go to our room, and then...

Lu Yanran quickly asked: What's wrong? What's wrong, husband?

Then, a strange sound came from the phone.

The sound was difficult to describe in words. At first, Lu Yanran thought it was the noise of a mobile phone, but it didn't sound like it.

Husband, husband? Old...

The phone was hung up at this moment.

Lu Yanran felt trembling all over and quickly continued to call.

But……

This time, the phone prompted The number you dialed is not in the service area.

what happened? Why is it...not in the service area?

Lu Yanran was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. It took her more than ten seconds to react and dial 110.

Although her husband said not to call the police, she could not think of any other solution except calling the police when something like this happened.

Hello... sir, is this the public security bureau? My husband seems to have been kidnapped...

Lu Yanran is not a local. She has been in W City for many years and met her husband, who is a local.

Her husband Zhang Bei has a rigid personality and follows the rules, but Lu Yanran likes this in him. His parents died young and left him only a house. Later they sold that house and bought their current one. Although the location here is not very good, it is a second-hand house and the price is not bad. The money from the previous sale of the house has paid for the entire price, so there is no need to pay the monthly rent. After the decoration was completed, the newlyweds moved in two months ago.

For Lu Yanran, she finally had a house in a foreign land. Of course, she didn't pay a penny, so the property certificate didn't have her name on it, but she was already satisfied with it. Although the location of this house called Muyang Building is very average, as long as I think that I will no longer have to think about saving money and food every day to pay the rising rent, this life can be considered very comfortable.

But……

How could something like this happen to her?

Before the police arrived, she opened the refrigerator and indeed found meat in a plastic bag inside the blast freezer.

The meat seems to be about two or three kilograms. If you eat two grams a day, it is almost equivalent to a little minced meat and can last for a long time.

What on earth is this?

After the police arrived, she grabbed his hand and said, Comrade police, please save my husband. He was sleeping next to me last night. Why was he taken away and locked up by someone in just one night?

The police comforted him: Don't worry, we will locate your husband's cell phone first.

A female police officer on the side asked: Can you tell us in detail what your husband said on the phone?

Lu Yanran suddenly remembered what her husband said.

What meat in the refrigerator...

In her impression, in the past month, her husband would indeed help her make breakfast early and help her make dinner together. It's really easy to mix just a gram of meat into the food for her to eat without her noticing.

Of course, this shouldn't be anything bad, otherwise her husband wouldn't take the initiative to tell him.

But why didn't he let himself tell the police? Is this something shameful?

After careful consideration, she finally decided not to tell the police.

Has your husband ever offended anyone? the policewoman asked again.

No...but...

But what?

The people in this building seem a little strange...

When the policewoman heard this, her expression became serious and she asked, What?

At this time, the police officer from the forensics department came out and said, We also need to check whether there is any luminol reaction here.

Rumi... Lu Yanran suddenly remembered something and said, It's about checking if there are any blood stains in criminal investigation dramas?

right.

The officers began spraying luminol and then turned off the lights.

But... there was no blood anywhere.

There was no sign of a struggle inside the room.

We have sent people to check the surveillance of the corridor here. The policeman looked at Lu Yanran and asked: Ms. Lu, you just said... you think the people in this building are a little strange? What's so strange?

The two of us have only been living here for about two months. When we first moved in, I gradually started to feel something strange.

Because she was born in a rural area, Lu Yanran is more accustomed to greeting her neighbors. When she first moved in, she made some food and knocked on the neighbors' doors, trying to build a good relationship with them. After all, there must have been a lot of noise during the renovation, and it must have caused some trouble to the neighbors.

But the strange thing is... when he opened the door, the neighbor's expression was very strange. No matter who he was, his face seemed to be frozen, with no expression at all, and no emotion at all. She wanted to give food to her neighbors, but the neighbors rudely refused and then closed the door.

It's normal for one or two people to be like this. There are always people with weird personalities, but if all the people on the same floor are like this, it's not normal. And after that, no matter who I met in the building, as long as I said hello, the other person would always look at me with the same cold expression.

As time passed, she began to wonder...had the couple offended the people in this building in some way?
