Li Qing paused slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Your colleague... What's your name?"

"Huh?" Yang Xixi turned his little head and looked at Li Qing blankly, "Shangxiong." ”

"Shang Xiong..."

"What's wrong?"

Li Qing withdrew his gaze from a distance: "It's nothing. ”

Yang Xixi's pretty face changed slightly, and she lowered her head and said: "Shangxiong and I used to work in the same group, I was responsible for interviewing and writing, and he was responsible for recording and taking pictures. Originally, I had a good relationship with my colleagues, but..."

Li Qing stared at Yang Xixi as if she wanted to dig out a trace of a lie from her beautiful face. It's a pity that from beginning to end, Yang Xixi didn't look up.

"She later pursued me, but I rejected it. Yang Xixi stroked her hair with some annoyance, "It's really embarrassing to meet just now, after all, I haven't seen each other for so long..."

"You're talking to me so much about what you're doing, as if I'm interrogating you. Li Qing smiled casually, brushed past Yang Xixi's side, and pushed up the shopping cart, "Are you going to buy these things?"

Yang Xixi hurriedly nodded his little head: "Yes." ”

"Then let's go. Li Qing said, pushing the shopping cart and trying to walk to the checkout counter, but Yang Xixi followed obediently and skillfully.

It wasn't until the time of the checkout that the two talked again, but this time the dispute was about who paid for the bill.

"When I came to your house for dinner, I should have bought vegetables, so what's there to argue about?"

Yang Xixi ignored it at all, and directly took out her wallet: "You came to help me, of course you want me to invite you to dinner." ”

"You..."

Li Qing wanted to speak again, but Yang Xixi suddenly raised his little head and glared at him: "I know that you are not short of these money, why do you look down on me?"

"Okay, please, please. Li Qing raised his hand helplessly, and finally patted Yang Xixi's little head like a child.

Yang Xixi paid the money satisfied, and the two of them walked out of the supermarket with large bags of things.

Li Qing opened the trunk, put the fresh vegetables he bought, and then went around to the front with Yang Xixi and got into the car.

"I've found that you can be really stubborn sometimes. ”

"I owe you so much, I don't want to go too far. Yang Xixi's jade hands were twisted together, and she pursed her lips and muttered.

"Well, if you can feel a little more comfortable in this way, feel free. Li Qing nodded helplessly, started the car, and drove in along the front mountain road.

A few minutes later, the car stopped outside the apartment building at 161 Qianshan Road.

Li Qing got out of the car and opened the trunk to get vegetables, and Yang Xixi also came over to help. Li Qing couldn't resist her, so she had to let her carry some light things, and then the two of them went upstairs together.

It is an old-fashioned apartment building with a total of eight floors and no elevator. Li Qing looked around, and preliminarily estimated that the building must be at least twenty years old.

Yang Xixi's home is in the middle gate on the sixth floor, which is room 602.

"How long have you been staying?" asked casually as Li Qing went up the stairs.

"More than two years. Yang Xixi replied, "There's no way, Gangbei is now an inch of land, and this kind of place still charges me 3,000 oceans of rent every month." ”

Li Qing said casually: "I have a lot of houses there, if you need to say something, I'll give you a set." ”

"Alas, it's so nice to be rich, just open your mouth casually, it's something I can't earn in my life. Yang Xixi rolled her eyes, "You better save it, I don't want to be treated like you like this." In case someone turns out the news and sends it to the newspaper one day, I think I'm the junior you are raising outside. In this kind of public opinion atmosphere in Lingang, I haven't been cleaned inside and out. ”

Li Qing smiled: "The reporter is also afraid of this?"

"As long as it's human, it's afraid. Yang Xixi glanced at Li Qing deeply, stepped up to the last step, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's here!"

Yang Xixi's home, Li Qing, came here not long ago, so he is familiar with this place. It was almost six o'clock in the evening, and the sun had set. The corridors on the lower floors are lit with dim light bulbs, and the light seems to be projected by a layer of dust, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. But on the sixth floor, the light bulbs in the hallway didn't turn on, and it was dark everywhere.

"Why aren't the corridor lights on?" Yang Xixi muttered, "This building is too old, and there are no voice-activated lights, you wait a minute, be careful not to trip, I'll look for the switch." ”

Yang Xixi grabbed the handrail of the stairs with one hand, slowly moved to the wall leading to the seventh floor, and then groped on the wall for a while.

"Found it. Accompanied by Yang Xixi's voice, she also pressed the light switch on the wall, and there was a soft "click", and it was bright for a while.

Yang Xixi turned around and saw the door of her house, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Who posted so many newspapers on the door?"

Li Qing stared at the several newspapers that were extremely messy on the door, and couldn't help frowning slightly. His gaze slowly shifted downward, and he saw a pool of dried blood on the concrete floor in front of the door.

Before she could speak, Yang Xixi had already stepped forward and tore off the newspaper on the door with her hand.

"Ah!" With an exclamation, the thing in Yang Xixi's hand fell to the ground, and then his body staggered back, Li Qing hurriedly reached out and grabbed Yang Xixi's arm to hold her.

On the door panel where the newspaper was torn off, there were a few bloody handprints of red!

"Who, who did this..."Yang Xixiyu covered her small mouth with her hand, and she sobbed low due to excessive fright.

Li Qing patted Yang Xixi's back, put the things in his hand aside, and then stepped forward and tore off all the newspapers on the door panel.

There are seven mudras, from bottom to top, three on the left and four on the right, which are evenly distributed like footprints. When I got closer, I could smell a faint smell of blood.

Li Qing could imagine that after someone had his hands covered with blood, he squatted on the ground and imprinted his handprints from bottom to top, and there were several dried blood droplets next to the blood stains on the ground, which should have been caused by the blood dripping down at that time.

Li Qing turned his head to look at Yang Xixi, and stretched out his hand to gesture on the blood stain near the door: "The dead cat you mentioned before, is it placed in this position?"

"Yes. Yang Xixi calmed down a little, and nodded hurriedly when she heard Li Qing's question, "It's here, I saw it when I opened the door in the morning." I was so scared that I didn't even bother to clean up, so I slammed the door and ran away. ”

"Oh. Li Qing nodded slightly, "But now the corpse of the dead cat is gone." ”

Yang Xixi's face turned pale: "Will it be taken away by that pervert again?"

"It's possible. Li Qing took half a step back, stared at the bloody handprint on the door and rubbed his chin gently, "Who posted the newspaper?"

While the two of them were talking, there was a commotion in room 601 beside them, and then the door slammed open, and a woman with a cloak broke out of it.

Li Qing was startled, and immediately took two steps back, blocking in front of Yang Xixi.

The woman stroked her hair, pinched the plastic comb in her hand and pointed straight at Yang Xixi, and scolded: "Little girl! You really dare to come back! It's just that you are out causing trouble, and even the neighbors will suffer with you! If you can live, you can live, if you can't live, get out of here, don't make trouble for the old lady here!"

A man's voice came from the room: "Okay, okay, it's not easy for a little girl, you don't have to say a word." ”

"Shut up for me, you don't have the right to speak. The woman turned her head and continued to scold, "You only take a few dollars a month to go home, and you dare to ride on the neck of the old lady to and pee? If I am as soft as you, I will not be able to live this life!"

Behind him was a long sigh from a man, who immediately stopped speaking.

Li Qing was stunned by this woman's pungency, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but pull fiercely: "You are... Who?"

Yang Xixi hid behind Li Qing and replied cautiously: "Neighbor." ”

The woman glared at Li Qing: "Who are you this little girl? boyfriend?"

Before Li Qing could respond, the woman had already turned around and stretched out her hand to pull the door, and forcibly pulled out a seven or eight-year-old boy.

"Look at it, look at it! My son has scared you out! Today you must compensate my family for mental damages, or I will call the police, this matter is not over!"

The little boy in the woman's hand has a mushroom head, wears a small white-washed waistcoat, and wears slippers and shorts underneath. He pursed his mouth and struggled back, but he was helplessly grabbed too tightly by the woman, and his neck was crooked, but it was still to no avail.

"You say, what the hell should we do with this!"

The woman kept yelling, which made Li Qing's ears buzz.

"Eldest sister, eldest sister, you can rest for a while, rest for a while!" Li Qingyi stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture, "Can I ask, is the newspaper on this door posted by you?"

The woman rolled her eyes quite sharply: "Nonsense, what if I don't post it? The children are frightened!"

As soon as Li Qing's hand was loosened, the little boy fled into the house in a hurry, grabbed the door frame with both hands, and looked out of the door with a frightened expression.

Li Qing saw the little boy staring at him tightly, and a smile lightly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Little friend, are you afraid of me?"

"Don't scare the child!" the woman moved half a step to the side, pointed a comb at Li Qing's nose, and shouted majestically, "What's the matter? You don't want to be responsible, and you still want to scare my son? Let me tell you, I'm not easy to mess with, old lady!"

Li Qing lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his attention had to be shifted from the little boy to the woman in front of him.

"Eldest sister, you misunderstood, I really didn't mean that. Li Qing turned his head to look at the bloody handprints on the door, "I still have to thank you, if you hadn't helped us paste with newspapers, it might have caused a lot of trouble." ”
