Chapter 2 News Come True

Chapter 2 News Come True
6 Month 27 Day!
01: 05!

Tangshi, Lubei District, Tianfu Residential Area!

"Dong dong dong..."

In the still of the early morning, the sound of a cleaver striking a cutting board suddenly echoed in the hallway.

Feng Nan, fast asleep, frowned slightly.

Suddenly, I woke up with a start!
The constant "thump-thump" sound in her ears teased her easily triggered morning grumpiness.

Frustrated, Feng Nan scratched her hair, muttered something, and got up. She picked up her phone and glanced at it: "Which idiot is chopping dumpling filling at this hour?"

Feng Nan reached for the bedside lamp, but the news she had seen in the group chat earlier that day unconsciously popped into her mind...

[Forensic examination indicates the deceased was murdered in the early hours of the 27th...]

Feng Nan's heart involuntarily clenched.

A chill ran through me from head to toe...

"No way……"

Feng Nan unconsciously let out a small tremor.

She suddenly had a terrible thought.

Was that news from earlier in the day true?
Could that sound be the murderer who framed her, chopping up the author's corpse...?

Thinking of this, Feng Nan shuddered.

She instinctively wrapped the blanket around herself tighter.

The old air conditioner, which was already struggling to keep up with the early summer heat, started blowing out a chilly breeze.

Feng Nan felt a chill run down her spine. Countless images from horror movies, mixed with pictures from the daytime news, flashed through her mind like a projector screen.

"It's probably just a coincidence. Maybe the people upstairs are chopping dumpling filling..."

Feng Nan tried to comfort herself in a trembling voice, but the slideshow in her mind kept playing, making her feel rebellious and want to go out and see what was going on.

Tianfu Community is an old residential area.

The entire residential complex consists of only ten apartment buildings.

Each building has six floors, with two households per floor.

There is no elevator, and no good supporting facilities.

Therefore, most of the residents here are elderly people, and a small number of migrant workers who work nearby.

In Feng Nan's apartment building, there lives an elderly man who is both deaf and mute on the first floor. A couple of days ago, his son took him away to escape the summer heat.

There was a family living on the second floor. Feng Nan guessed that it must be the unlucky guy mentioned in the news, whose pen name was "Wo Bao" and who was turned into dumplings.

The third floor, the floor where Feng Nan lives, is also occupied by only Feng Nan. The house is an inheritance left to Feng Nan by her parents.

Ten years ago, Feng Nan's parents worked at a research institute in the city. During a research violation, an explosion occurred, and her parents died in the line of duty while trying to save important data, leaving only Feng Nan behind.

After her parents passed away, they left Feng Nan this apartment in Tianfu Community and a large sum of compensation.

Perhaps at the time, the compensation was not a small amount, but it was only enough to support Feng Nan to finish college.

So Feng Nan is still a struggling working person and hasn't achieved financial freedom.

The only advantage is that you don't have to work yourself to death to buy a house and work for the bank for the rest of your life.

The fourth and fifth floors are rental units, and the tenants all moved out some time ago. The new tenants haven't moved in yet. A couple lives on the sixth floor.

The entire apartment building, including Feng Nan, only has a few people living there.

"Dong dong dong..."

The sound of the metal cleaver clashing against the solid wood cutting board continued to assault Feng Nan's eardrums.

Feng Nan hesitated.

She instinctively gripped the blanket tightly around her.

Should we go out and take a look?
If the news report is true, then the sound coming from downstairs right now is from the real murderer.

If she does nothing, she will be framed by the murderer!

"Gudong..."

Feng Nan swallowed hard.

She thought of an even more terrifying problem.

The news said the body was found in her house. How did the murderer manage to put the dismembered body in her house?

The air conditioning was on and the doors and windows were locked. How did the murderer get into her house?
What was she doing at that time?
Why would they allow the murderer to put the meat in the refrigerator?

And why didn't I call the police at the time?
Not scientific!

Although the press release did not say how long it took for the police to find him, why didn't he notice the extra human flesh in his refrigerator during the entire day from the early morning of the 27th to the 28th?
I cook every day and open and close the refrigerator several times a day, don't I?

Or……

Could it be that I've been controlled by the murderer?
From the 27th until he was arrested by the police, was the murderer in his own home?

Thinking about all this, Feng Nan felt a chill run down her spine.

suddenly!

"Crack, click..."

The sound of the door lock being turned could be heard.

Feng Nan's heart skipped a beat. "Could I have guessed right?"

"The murderer has come looking for me?"

Feng Nan's pupils dilated instantly.

"Squeak-"

The sound of the security door being pushed open made Feng Nan instinctively hold her breath.

"My door has been opened!"

"I clearly locked the door!"

Feng Nan almost cried out in surprise.

The excessive tension made her feel suffocated.

Feng Nan subconsciously recalled scenes from countless horror movies she had watched.

She knew she had to do something.

Without hesitation, Feng Nan immediately got out of bed.

I was so nervous that my legs gave way and I almost fell.

Ignoring everything else, Feng Nan picked up her phone.

She crept under the bed, staring wide-eyed at the bedroom door with terrified eyes.

"Crack!"

The bedroom door was pushed open!

A slender figure wearing a raincoat came into view.

A sticky, lumpy substance slid off the raincoat.

Even though the room was dimly lit, Feng Nan could still tell that it was the limb tissue of some kind of animal.

shock!
Feng Nan's eyes widened instantly.

She felt dizzy because of the tension.

Fear and panic flickered in her eyes, and she instinctively covered her mouth with her hand to stop herself from screaming.

"no one?"

A puzzled murmur came from under the raincoat.

His voice was deep and somewhat immature.

There's just a tiny bit more...

Familiar...

Feng Nan was stunned.

Why did the murderer's voice sound familiar?

Could the murderer be someone she knows?

Feng Nan wanted to call the police, but the room was too dimly lit, and she was afraid that the light from her phone screen would alert the murderer standing at the door.

"Ta Tata..."

Footsteps sounded.

The rain boots kept moving closer to the bed.

"Ha ha……"

A terrifying laugh came from under the raincoat.

"The air conditioner is on..."

"The blanket is still warm..."

"Let me guess, where are you hiding?"

"It happened!"

Feng Nan was startled.

Cold sweat instantly soaked her pajamas. She held her breath, not daring to make a sound.

"Squeak-"
