There was a sharp knock on the door.

Song Mazi stretched his waist and sat up.

At the welding point of the narrow iron door in front of him, white spots the size of sesame seeds were born, and he knew that this was a sign that it was dawn.

"Don't knock, it's coming, it's coming......"

He reached out and fumbled expertly at the door, and felt a rowing stick and slashed to the left......

"Squeak"

The door opened, and a strong light shone in.

Song Mazi hurriedly stretched out his right hand, blocking his eyes, squinting his eyes, and looking out of the door.

"You old man, it's half past seven, and you can't get up to pick up the bottle, and if you delay my work, I can change the lock!"

Aunt Huang, the sanitation worker in the square, shouted at Song Mazi, who was ragged and unkempt, and made a living by picking up rags.

"It's not like you haven't changed, let's pry one if you change one, don't call me to live here, I'll go to live in your house, can you let the old man?"

Song Mazi grinned and said with a wicked smile on his face.

The yellow teeth, under the reflection of the morning sun, glowed with golden light......

Song Mazi said as he crawled out of the iron gate on all fours.

This is a small storage room designed in the inner corner of the gate-shaped Nanhu Monument, the door is about one meter high, but the internal space is not small, and the sanitation tools that usually clean the north gate are hidden in this monument.

Song Mazi is a rag-picker, his age is unknown, and his identity is unknown......

He lived like duckweed in the city, like all the vagabonds.

Song Mazi can pick locks, so he swaggered and lived in the monument, became neighbors with a broom and mop, and the mouse was his closest "roommate......

Of course, after he ate this only "roommate", he fell into loneliness for a while.

He is the "Quasimodo" who lives in the monument......

Aunt Huang is the "Esmerdala" in his eyes.

Song Mazi stood in front of the monument, clasped his hands, blushing, staring directly at Aunt Huang's back when she bowed down and pulled the broom......

He let out a fart, and it was very loud and smelly.

Aunt Huang hurriedly got up and dragged the broom, covered her nose, and ran away scolding......

"I can't hold back ...... again"

Song Mazi shook his head hatefully, took out a newspaper from the "storage room", and walked towards the public toilet......

"Song Mazi, wait for me for a while!"

A familiar voice came from behind him.

Song Mazi didn't look back, and continued to walk forward.

"What are you doing, shitting, I heard you fart, it's not a small sound!"

Ye Zhiqiu caught up and said with a smile.

"What, is farting illegal?"

Song Mazi said, and let out another fart, as if demonstrating.

"Let's go with you, with you. ”

……

Ye Zhiqiu finished untying his hands and was washing his hands, and when he looked back, he saw that Song Mazi had slipped out of the door.

"Someone gave me a bat cigarette, and I don't know how to smoke, alas, it's a waste...... I don't know if anyone wants to smoke it......"

Ye Zhiqiu shouted to himself.

The sound of hurried footsteps behind him, from far and near......

"You...... Say, what's the matter?"

Song Mazi said breathlessly.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and tightened the faucet, shook his wet hands, turned around and said:

"Let's go, go and recognize a ......"

…………

Yang Qiuqiu sat on the interrogation chair in the interrogation room, looked up at the ceiling, his eyes were sloppy, and he didn't say a word......

When Ye Zhiqiu returned to the Public Security Bureau with Song Mazi, his colleagues had just sent away the residents downstairs of the old Xiu Tou'er's house.

"See clearly, is that him?"

Outside the interrogation room, Ye Zhiqiu pointed to Yang Qiu in the one-way glass and asked Song Mazi.

Song Mazi rubbed his eyes, stared at them for a long time, and then said, "It should be, short and thin, it should be him!"

"Yes or no, you have to make it clear......"

"Yes, it's him!"

"Who's ......?"

"It was the last person to show up that night, the man with the suitcase. ”

"Are you sure?"

"That's right, sure, it's him, the lights are so bright, he has stood in front of me for so long, he can't be wrong......"

"Hmm...... Thank you, hard work, you go. ”

"Smoke ...... Smoke ......"

Song Mazi hurriedly asked.

"Xiao Zhao, check this person's information, as well as family members, immediate family members or something......"

"Also...... Is there one more thing you'd like to hear?"

Song Mazi asked mysteriously.

"Say it, don't sell it. ”

Ye Zhiqiu said.

"Give me a cigarette first, one. ”

Song Mazi pointed the palm of his right hand upward, hooked his index finger, and said.

Ye Zhiqiu was helpless, took Song Mazi, bought a cigarette at a nearby commissary, stuffed it to him, and said:

"Say it. ”

"If you find him, the case will be solved!"

Song Mazi squeezed his eyes at Ye Zhiqiu and said.

"Oh, how do you say that......?"

"That girl, the girl who was kidnapped, is this person's daughter-in-law!"

Song Mazi said.

"Don't tease me!"

Ye Zhiqiu suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.

"What am I lying to you about this, these two people hugged each other later, and the man screamed one by one, 'daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law', this is so hot"

When Song Mazi said this, he laughed out loud and continued:

"This woman, she looks honest, but this relationship is quite messy, good-looking girls, you can't marry!"

After Song Mazi said this, his eyes widened in confusion, recalling the scene of that day......

On this day, Song Mazi only practiced bottles for a while in the morning, and then he put all the bottles he had saved in the past few days into a hemp bag, carried them to the purchasing station to exchange some money, bought a bag of liquor and a bag of peanuts, and happily returned to the storage room, locked the door, lit a candle, and started his own candlelight lunch......

Once a week, it's his happiest moment.

"It's a pity, if only Old Sister Huang could drink with me......

Song Mazi was drinking while remembering Aunt Huang, and fell asleep unconsciously......

I don't know how long later, Yang Qiu suddenly heard someone kicking the monument wall with his foot......

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

One kick is heavier than another, and one kick is faster than another.

Song Mazi looked out, and through the small gap in the iron plate, he saw a little yellow light shining in......

"It's obviously late at night, who the is this......"

Song Mazi was angry and was about to scold, when he suddenly felt a little weird......

Although the sound of kicking the wall was still urgent, the force was much smaller......

Getting slower and slower......

Lighter and lighter......

Song Mazi hurriedly put his ear on the iron door and listened intently to the movement outside.

"You die, die......"

A man said in a low voice, as if gritting his teeth.

When he woke up, he heard someone talking like this outside the door, which frightened Song Mazi......

But that's far from the end.

What's even more terrifying is that Song Mazi heard another voice.

A man, a "gurgling" sound coming out of his throat......

Gradually, the "gurgling" sound died down, and after a heavy sigh, only the sound of a man panting was left......

Song Mazi's heart mentioned his throat and eyes......

"Xiaofang, Xiaofang, where are you, I'm the eldest brother, where are you?"

A man shouted loudly......

"Woo woo woo ......"

In the distance, in the direction of the bushes, a woman's whimper was heard......

The man's steps were hurried, and he gradually walked away......

Silence returned to the surroundings, as if nothing had happened......

Song Mazi opened the iron door tremblingly, opened a small crack, and looked out of the door.

In the bright light, he saw a square-faced man, lying in front of his door, his face was purple, his eyes were wide, his tongue was sticking out, staring straight at him!

Song Mazi was so frightened that he peed his pants, but Rao was clever and covered his mouth tightly with both hands, so he didn't scream.

"It's coming soon, watch out for the steps......"

Song Mazi suddenly heard someone's voice coming, and he couldn't be more familiar with this voice......

It's the voice of the devil!

"You...... You killed him......"

A woman, softly.

Gentle as water, it soothed Song Mazi's restless heart.

He was a little curious about what this woman looked like.

He plucked up his courage and quietly looked out again.

With just one side face, he was fascinated, is this a heavenly immortal?

Beautiful and gentle, she looks like a beautiful woman......

"For the sake of you and the child, I dare to do anything, Xiaofang, you want to kill me......"

The man couldn't help but say something, and opened his arms to wrap his arms around Xiaofang.

"Big brother...... Big brother, don't worry, do we have to deal with the scene so that outsiders can look like it's a suicide or an accident. Just like the last two times......"

Xiaofang broke free from the man's arms and said.

"Yes, yes, you're right, let me think about ......"

The man paused, then ran away......

After a while, he came back panting and dragging a bench.

"Xiaofang, come and help me carry ......"

The two dragged the bench to the monument.

After getting off the bench, the man tugged the corpse and pulled off his coat.

"Big brother, what are you doing with your clothes?"

"I can't keep this clothes, my house has been torn for a long time, maybe there will be my hair on it, I took it and burned it......"

The two didn't say anything more, the man stepped on the stool, Xiaofang held it underneath, and the two hung the body together......

Song Mazi raised his head and looked at the convex and beautiful Xiaofang in front of him, his heart and soul had already gone out of his body and flew to Xiaofang's side......

After setting up the scene and putting the bench back in its place, the man ran back, hugged Xiaofang into his arms, and said lovesick words......

Xiaofang looked around impatiently......

Suddenly, Xiaofang turned her head sideways and met her greedy gaze......

I saw her scream, her fingers trembling, pointing in her direction......

"Big ...... Big brother, there seems to be something here, here......"

As if electrocuted, the man let go of Xiaofang and walked in his direction step by step......

"Broken ......"

Song Mazi has a bad heart, if he is discovered, this devil will definitely not let him go......

He subconsciously grabbed the shovel beside him, and his body trembled violently.

"Meow ......"

He made a cat meow, a skill he had honed over a long period of time with mice......

The man's footsteps paused slightly, but then continued in his direction......

"Boom...... Boom...... Boom ......"

The big bell in the distance rang muffled......

"It's not good, big brother, it's time, let's go quickly, go separately, my Qiuzi, he ...... He's almost there!"

Xiaofang, who was behind her, looked anxiously left and right, and said.

The man was shocked, hurriedly turned his head, exchanged a few words with Xiaofang, put on a blindfold for her, gagged her mouth with a cloth, tied her hands, and ran straight east......

Xiaofang walked slowly and in a northwest direction......

Song Mazi looked at her departing back stupidly, and chased her out, tiptoeing behind her, admiring her graceful figure......

Walking above the lake, he couldn't hold back any longer, and went up and pinched Xiaofang's thigh......

This was the first time he had physical contact with the opposite sex as an adult......

Xiaofang stopped, and her mouth whined......

She thought it was the eldest brother who couldn't help but come back and pester herself......

Song Mazi wanted to start again, but suddenly heard someone at the location of the monument, shouting Xiaofang's name.

Xiaofang hurriedly kicked him, twisted his neck, and motioned for him to leave quickly.

Where did Song Mazi dare to continue to entangle, he hurriedly ran away, hid in the dark, and secretly observed......

Xiaofang sat down slowly and began to howl desperately......

…………

"So, you saw the rest of the story?"

Hearing Song Mazi's statement, Ye Zhiqiu frowned and said.

Of course, it is impossible for Song Mazi to say the real reason why he followed Xiaofang.

"Well, this person named Akiko, his daughter-in-law's "Tiezi" is the one who killed people. ”

"Thank you!"

Ye Zhiqiu exhaled lightly and said.

"No, thank you for the cigarette!"

Song Mazi stuffed a cigarette into his arms, laughed and left......

Xiaofang...... Xiaofang ......"

Ye Zhiqiu muttered, turned around and walked back to the Public Security Bureau......
