Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 159

[Chapter 148 Such an Ending]

Zheng Tan’s sense of the surrounding environment is becoming more and more sensitive, and he also quite trusts his intuition. Because of this, Zheng Tan regrets coming here to watch the play because of curiosity.

No matter how intensely curious you are, and no matter how unwilling you are to miss an opportunity, you can’t bet your life.

Even if it is a cat’s life, it must be cherished. It is better to live than to die inexplicably, and it is still implicated – even if this threat is not aimed at Zheng Tan himself.

At this moment, Zheng Tan didn’t know that on him, the hair from his back to the tip of his tail exploded due to inexplicable fear, and he didn’t have the extra energy to feel the body’s inexplicable sense of fear. Variety.

To be safe, get out of here!

And Zheng Tan, who was about to slip away, just a second before he looked away from the house, through the gap between the old venetian blinds on the window side, he saw something he had never seen in his life plus Maosheng in all these years. one scene.

The flame suddenly ignited from Lai Er!

No one was seen pouring gasoline or setting fire.

That’s how it burned.

If you ignore Zheng Tan’s keen intuition, this situation can be said to be without warning.

From Zheng Tan’s point of view, I can’t see the expression on Lai Er’s face. I can only see the calm or indifferent person wearing a mask on the computer screen, and the strange firelight reflected from the screen…

Lai Er I have always felt that Chen Zhe is a stunned young man who will show his feet when he is scared. Lai Er can guess the method of committing the crimes in the first two murder cases. Although there are no strong clues left at the scene, Lai Er knows that he must start. It’s Chen Zhe.

The fish that slipped through the net back then.

He has even planned the follow-up actions. As long as Chen Zhelu goes out of his way, his subordinates will definitely find this man who has been hiding for many years. Even if he doesn’t catch it now, it will not be far away.

It’s just that he didn’t expect it to end like this.

Lai Er didn’t know until the moment he lost consciousness that he never knew the person who appeared on the screen in front of him.

Whether it is the fat boy of more than 200 pounds who was blocked by the light of his fellow sister since childhood, or the person on the computer screen in front of him who silently killed with a mask on.

When he was swallowed up by the flames, Lai Er didn’t say a word, didn’t call for help.

There was no wailing of pain.

There wasn’t even much movement, not because he didn’t want to, but because he couldn’t.

Lai Er’s hands rested on the armrests of the chair, and there was a small machine on his right.

Just press the button above.

The people who are guarding outside this room will rush in immediately.

However,

he didn’t even have this chance.

Zheng Tan looked at the man sitting on the chair in the room, wrapped in flames.

Moreover, it is quite strange that the flame only burns on the part above his knees, from the calf to the shoes are not covered by the flame, the flame looks very hot, and Lai Er, who is sitting on the chair, burns at a speed visible to the naked eye. changing.

Strangely, the flames did not spread wildly.

There is no fire source, and Lai Er did not smoke. There is no possibility of flammable and explosive items in the room. Lai’s second-hand people have already cleaned the house once, and the suspected dangerous items have not been spared. Lai Er has always been cautious. , and even moved the desk where the laptop was placed.

But even so, why does this happen all of a sudden?

Zheng Tan couldn’t understand why.

Could it be that the “trap” set by Chen Zhe was not discovered by Lai Er’s people?

Suddenly, Zheng Tan thought of something.

Once while walking around Chuhua University, Zheng Tan overheard a few students discussing a similar phenomenon.

They call that phenomenon – spontaneous combustion of the human body.

Perhaps, in the cases recorded in history, the spontaneous combustion of the human body did not have the influence of other deliberate human factors, but what was happening at the moment told Zheng Tan that at least this incident was definitely related to human beings.

Killing Zheng Tan also doesn’t trust that Er was called into this room by someone who had endured for many years before coming out to take revenge, and was burned like this. Is it just a coincidence?

!

At one time, many people believed that spontaneous combustion of the wicked was “God’s punishment”. However, from a scientific point of view, what exactly is spontaneous combustion?

Fat, alcoholism, static electricity, atomic reactions, and even the widely acknowledged wick effect don’t really explain the nature of this kind of thing.

Otherwise, the spontaneous combustion of the human body would not be listed as one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the world.

Maybe Chen Zhe solved the mystery, or maybe Chen Zhe had contact with the person who solved the mystery, or maybe it was because other people couldn’t think of the possibility or even those who were criticized as whimsical, but no matter what the situation is, at this moment What happened was really unbelievable, and it really shocked Zheng Tan.

Zheng Tan remembered that the students who discussed the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of the human body said that in this phenomenon, the part of the human body that was on fire could be completely destroyed in just 20 minutes.

Regardless of whether this is the so-called spontaneous combustion of the human body, whether it is revenge or something else, or what is going on in the house, Zheng Tan just wants to get away from here at this moment, this place makes him feel creepy.

Zheng Tan looked at the side of the house, no one was leaving now, so he immediately jumped off.

It’s a little high, and Zheng Tan has not gone through any buffering, and because of what he saw with his own eyes, Zheng Tan’s body is still a little stiff, and his legs hurt a little when he touches the ground, but Zheng Tan can’t care about that much anymore, so leaving quickly is the priority of.

When Zheng Tan ran out along the road, he saw two people answering the phone at the intersection, and his face changed drastically and ran in. He knew that what happened to Lai Er should have been discovered, but at this time, Lai Er was , absolutely dead.

This road is not the one that Zheng Tan followed Lai’s second-hand man, but another road leading to the street.

Vehicles and pedestrians coming and going on the street also warmed the street a lot.

There is sunshine, but the sky seems to be covered by a layer of smog. The sunshine is not pure, or psychological factors are the main factor. In short, Zheng Tan does not feel the warmth brought by the sunshine at all, but the shuddering feeling still follows. , did not disappear completely by leaving that place.

Jumping onto a flower bed, Zheng Tan squatted inside to rest to relieve the pressure caused by the sudden fear and anxiety just now.

He had always thought he had some guts, but now, he doubted it.

Before his breathing had slowed down, his sense of fear had faded. Zheng Tan took a deep breath, ready to use the breathing decompression method that Jiao Dad once said to relieve it, but this breath was only halfway out, and Zheng Tan almost choked.

He saw several tall buildings.

These high-rise buildings are quite obvious in this area. Although they are not very close, they are not far.

There is the community where Uncle Lamei, Chen Zhe lives.

Should have thought of it earlier.

The street and the street are already connected. Zheng Tan didn’t find it before. Part of the reason is because there is an old residential building in the middle of the community from here to there. Zheng Tan’s previous observation angle was not right, so he didn’t find it. this point.

However, Zheng Tan felt that it was mainly because he didn’t know much about this area.

It turned out that Uncle Lamei Chen Zhe had always been so close to here.

Does that mean that Chen Zhe has long decided to set up such a game and wait for Lai Er to jump in?

There is no doubt that Lai Er must have died, burned to death.

But at the same time, Zheng Tan believes that even if the police arrive, they can’t find any strong evidence to prove that the fire was man-made.

Suspicion is on the one hand, but evidence is necessary. Without evidence or clues, everything is empty talk.

Zheng Tan carefully recalled what he had learned, what he had experienced today, and all that he had seen with his own eyes.

Undoubtedly, Chen Zhe knew Lai Er well and knew that he would definitely come here and stay in the room alone.

There are blinds on the window of the room. He knows that Lai Er will definitely close the blinds. In this way, even if the room catches fire, people outside will not be able to find it for a while, and it is impossible to rescue Lai Er in the shortest time. , As long as the time is delayed, the possibility of Lai Erzhe here is greater, not to mention the strange way of burning.

As for the monitors that Lai Er’s subordinates dismantled and the suspicious dangerous objects found, it is estimated that they are just smoke bombs released by Chen Zhe.

As for the “thing” they were talking about, Zheng Tan didn’t know what it was, and he didn’t want to know what it was now. At this time, it’s better to be an ordinary cat.

Looking around, it was impossible to go back through that path now, Zheng Tan didn’t want to run into Lai Er’s people.

So, he looked behind him, and then looked at the tall buildings in front of him, and decided to walk from the front, take a circle, and stop by Uncle Lamei to check the situation. I won’t go into his house this time, just look outside the building. See if the Avenger is there, then leave back to Chuhua University’s East District compound to wait for dinner.

Zheng Tan planned very well, which not only satisfied his curiosity that had been shrunk to the point of being frightened because of the incident just now, but also kept himself in a safe range.

Climbing into the community from the fence, Zheng Tan came to the downstairs of the building where Uncle Lamei lived. Uncle Lamei was at home at this time, the lights in the room were still on, and Zheng Tan could see the shaking figures from downstairs.

Just as Zheng Tan was thinking about whether Uncle Lamei ran away after his plan for revenge, or was thinking of something else, he happened to see Chen Zhe who opened the door to the balcony.

Zheng Tan almost jumped away like a kangaroo because of the sudden startle reaction like Ah Huang.

Suppressing the idea of running away immediately, Zheng Tan tried his best to act like other cats and pretend to leave, then he heard the man standing on the balcony shouting, “Hey, black cat!”

Zheng Tan ignored it.

Chen Zhe shouted a few more times before Zheng Tan had to look over there.

At the same time, I also thought: In the past, will it be burned to the point where only four cat claws are left and not even a tail?

However, I have to admit that at this moment, facing Chen Zhe, who is affectionately called Uncle Lamei by the children, Zheng Tan did not feel the inexplicable feeling he felt outside the room where Lai Er stayed before. of unease.
