Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 251 Monthly Mall Update

Han Zhou was woken up by a violent shaking.

His sleep quality has always been good, but he couldn't withstand such a violent shaking. At first, he thought it was an earthquake. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he realized that it was Lin Anyu.

What does this guy want to do if he doesn't sleep at night?

Before he could say anything, he saw the other party saying anxiously: "Oh no, Han Zhou, something happened!"

As if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, Han Zhou's consciousness suddenly became clear. He immediately got out of bed and asked, "What's wrong?" while getting dressed.

He immediately thought something was wrong with Gu Zheng, so he put on his clothes randomly, picked up his coat and ran out of the room.

Lin Anyu hurriedly followed him. When he saw him about to knock on the door of the next room, he knew that he had made a mistake. He quickly stopped him and said, "Now is not the time to wake them up. Come downstairs with me and take a look!"

"Go downstairs?"

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the accident Lin Anyu mentioned was not referring to Gu Zheng and Xiao Xiaoxiao. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then became confused.

Since Gu Zheng and the others are fine, then who is in trouble?

Bai Tongtong?

"It's too late to explain, let's talk as we go!"

Lin Anyu's tone was urgent, and he ran towards the elevator. Although Han Zhou was puzzled, he also knew that the other party would not make boring jokes to him in the middle of the night, so he quickly followed him.

The room they lived in was on the third floor. Perhaps because the elevator was too slow, Lin Anyu waited for two seconds before running down the stairs. As he ran, he said, "I suspect someone committed suicide by jumping into the sea!"

Han Zhou was startled, and his expression suddenly became more serious: "Doubtful? Have you seen it?"

"No, I'm guessing, but it's very possible!"

"What's the basis?"

"I saw a row of footprints on the beach leading to the sea. This is the only row of footprints!"

Han Zhou understood what he meant, and immediately sped up to the lobby downstairs. Under the shocked eyes of the receptionist, he quickly rushed out of the hotel and went straight to the beach.

It was late at night, and there was no one on the beach at this time. The salty sea breeze, with the coolness unique to the night, kept creeping into his collar.

About ten seconds later, Lin Anyu came over panting, put his hands on his knees and asked: "How... how are you, have you seen anyone?"

He murmured in his heart, when did Han Zhou's physical strength become so good?

Or is it because he has stayed up too late recently and become weak?

Han Zhou shook his head: "I didn't see the footprints you mentioned."

"How is that possible?" Lin Anyu frowned slightly, "I just noted the location. It's between the blue parasol and the black parasol."

He was a little anxious, and quickly looked up to find the location of the two parasols, then walked quickly over, pointed to the sand on the ground and said, "This is probably..."

Before he could say the word "里", he suddenly froze.

Not to mention a row of footprints, not even half a footprint can be seen on the huge beach, but you can see a little garbage left behind. I don't know who is so unethical.

He looked around in disbelief, but could not find any footprints further away. He could not help but gradually widen his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

"how so……"

Lin Anyu murmured to himself, suspecting that he had found the wrong place. He quickly raised his head to check the color of the parasol, but soon realized that he had found the right place. The position he had just seen on the balcony was correct.

Han Zhou came to him and asked, "Are you sure you saw footprints here?"

"Yeah." Lin Anyu nodded seriously, then looked worried, "Maybe it happened to be washed away by the sea when we went downstairs."

In the distance is the rough sea. Sometimes the waves roll up and hit the beach, making a dull sound. It seems that there is a beast hiding in the darkness that chooses people to eat.

If someone really walked all the way into the sea...

Han Zhou shook his head to interrupt his random thoughts and said: "There are no such big waves now, so it is impossible to wash away all the footprints. And if someone really committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea as you suspected, that person would probably be dead by now. Unless he can float in the ocean.”

He didn't doubt that Lin Anyu was wrong. Since the other party woke him up in such a hurry, he obviously made the judgment that "someone was committing suicide" after repeated confirmation many times. It was unlikely that he was wrong.

He thought to himself that he was too impatient. He should have observed it on the balcony just now to confirm whether the footprints really existed. The current situation was so different from what Lin Anyu described. Even if he trusted the other party, he could not completely accept this as a fact.

Seeing that Lin Anyu was unwilling to go to the beach to check, Han Zhou grabbed him and said, "Don't go over there. Your swimming level is too low. Don't get caught in a wave. You stay here and I'll go over and take a look." .”

Although he had some doubts about the so-called "suicidal person" and did not think that the other person would survive at this moment, he still planned to go over and confirm the situation, which was also for peace of mind.

Lin Anyu followed the good example and said hesitantly: "Then should I call the police?"

"Report it. The police can retrieve the hotel's surveillance video. Maybe they can find something."

After all, a human life may be involved and cannot be ignored easily.

"Okay, then I'll call the police first. You be careful."

Han Zhou nodded, turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and walked steadily towards the beach.

His swimming level is pretty good, and his physical strength is far beyond ordinary people. Unless he is suddenly hit by a big wave several meters high, he does not have to worry about being swept away by the waves.

The sea was pitch black, and the light from the flashlight on his mobile phone was no different. He couldn't see anything. He found nothing. He lowered his head and looked at his feet, then looked around along the coastline. He still found nothing and could only shake his head. Walk back to Lin Anyu.

After all, we are on the vast seaside, and all traces may be swept away by the waves. It is expected that no traces were found. Lin Anyu was not surprised, but his expression became more solemn. He was talking to the police in detail about this on the phone. side situation.

Han Zhou stood aside and waited. Suddenly his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Gu Zheng's call.

As if thinking of something, he looked back towards the third floor of the hotel, and sure enough, Gu Zheng in pajamas was waving to this side.

As soon as I pressed the answer button, the girl's suspicious voice sounded on the other side of the phone: "What are you two doing out at night?"

"It's nothing, come out and get some air."

"Don't lie. Why don't you stay on such a big balcony and go outside to get some fresh air in the middle of the night?" Gu Zheng obviously didn't believe it and asked, "Tell me honestly, what are you two doing sneakily?"

"I also want to ask you, why did you stay up so late at night and come to the balcony? Are you having nightmares and can't sleep at night?"

"You're the one who had a nightmare!" Gu Zheng's tone changed slightly, and he said with a hint of guilt, "I just didn't sleep well, I just came to the balcony to get some fresh air..."

This was not credible at first sight. Han Zhou didn't care and said with a smile: "It's okay to breathe, but you have to be careful not to catch a cold. Is Xiaoxiao asleep?"

"No, she seems to have never fallen asleep..." Gu Zheng lowered his voice and sounded worried, "Is her insomnia serious?"

"I don't know, but even if it's serious, there's nothing we can do. We're not doctors. You don't have to worry about it. Just go inside and sleep after breathing."

"I don't, unless you tell me what the hell you two are doing." Gu Zheng said dissatisfied, "You said before that you wouldn't hide anything from me."

Han Zhou actually didn't want to tell Gu Zheng about Lin Anyu's suspicion. After all, this guy was timid and might even come down to join in the fun and delay his sleep. But seeing how stubborn she was, he had no choice but to tell her what Lin Anyu said.

"Footprints leading to the sea?" Gu Zheng was a little surprised after hearing this.

"Yeah." Han Zhou said, "Lin Anyu is pretty sure he saw it right, but the footprints disappeared when we went downstairs and can't be found anywhere."

Gu Zheng seemed stunned for a moment, and then asked after two seconds: "Are you kidding me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't the footprints just under the two of you?"

Han Zhou was stunned, glanced down, and explained: "Oh, I just went to the beach to take a look, and what you saw were my footprints."

"I saw you just walked to the beach, but that's not what I'm talking about. Look down at your feet and a little to the left. It's between the blue parasols and the black parasols. There is a row of parasols leading to the beach. Footprints?”

Han Zhou's expression froze.

……

The police in Bay City are very dedicated. Even in the middle of the night, they are still very quick to dispatch police. They quickly rushed to the hotel. When they saw two serious-looking police officers walking into the store, the front desk lady thought that some major murder had occurred in the hotel, so she quickly rushed to the hotel. Called the lobby manager.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and the two police officers were just here to retrieve the surveillance video.

After understanding the specific situation from the reporter in person, a police officer immediately retrieved the hotel's surveillance video. Unfortunately, the hotel's camera was not aimed at the location Lin Anyu mentioned, so it was impossible to determine whether it was really true at night. Some people threw themselves into the sea.

Another policeman personally went to the beach to search. When he came back, some parts of his body were soaked by the sea water. However, it could be seen from his frowning expression that there was nothing gained from this search.

Fortunately, the camera in another store next to the hotel happened to be pointed at the "site of the crime". The two police officers perked up and immediately went to retrieve the surveillance video of that night. However, they sped up and watched several hours of surveillance footage. , until Lin Anyu and Han Zhou appeared on the beach, not only did they not see anyone walking into the sea, they did not even see the footprints mentioned by the reporter.

This discovery made Lin Anyu, the reporter of the crime, horrified.

He clearly saw such an obvious row of footprints with his own eyes, but the cold images on the surveillance video seemed to deny his memory. He turned to look at Han Zhou, who patted his shoulder lightly and said he didn't need to worry.

The two policemen were quite friendly. Although their trip was in vain, a false alarm was better than a real murder. They did not characterize Lin Anyu and Han Zhou's behavior as calling the police falsely, and reminded them to take a good rest, and then Just drove away.

Lin Anyu stood at the door of the hotel, watching the police car leave with a bewildered expression, and laughed at himself: "Why do I feel like they treat me as a drunk who drank fake wine?"

Han Zhou comforted him: "It's good to treat you as a drunkard, otherwise you might have to visit the police station tonight."

Lin Anyu looked dejected: "Do you also think I got it wrong?"

He still felt that he could not be wrong, but the fact was before him. He could only accept this fact, but he still felt unwilling to do so.

"That's not true." Han Zhou shook his head solemnly.

"Why?" Lin Anyu was stunned.

"You never missed my answer when you peeked at me in high school." Han Zhou said seriously.

"What kind of answer is this?" Lin Anyu was amused.

"Anyway, I believe you."

After all, Gu Zheng also saw it... Han Zhou added silently in his heart.

If Gu Zheng hadn't joked with him on the phone just now, then they seemed to have encountered something terrible.

Can some people see a row of weird footprints that others can't...

This truth is far more horrifying than someone committing suicide by throwing themselves into the sea.

However, Han Zhou didn't plan to tell Lin Anyu about this for the time being, at least not now, otherwise this guy would definitely not be able to sleep.

The first priority now is to rest. Even if you have to solve the puzzle, you can put it in the future.

But no...

Are there really some mysterious phenomena in this world?

Although as a time traveler with a status bar on his body, Han Zhou himself can be said to be one of the most mysterious phenomena, but when he faced this strange phenomenon that only existed in rumors, he still found it incredible.

What the hell is this?
