7. Everyone is sick
Jasmine is taking her medicine.
All kinds of blue, blue, green and green capsules and tablets are carefully packed in a small transparent medicine box, arranged in order in the morning, noon and evening, these medicines are sometimes taken and sometimes stopped, and Jasmine is also accustomed to it.
Her father said that she was malnourished and anemic, so she took the medicine intermittently, and she was not in good condition recently, so she was taking the medicine on time every day.
However, K did not agree, he said in his letter that medicine is poisonous, but in fact, if you want to treat anemia and malnutrition, you can completely get the vitamins you need from food, so why rely on medicine?
Jasmine receives a reply from K, and in addition to talking to her about recent events, she adds a long recipe.
K said that he has no plans to go abroad recently and decided to recuperate at home, and he is also a little worried about what happened to Jasmine, so he is also paying attention to the latest news reports.
"To the restless Jasmine]
A lot has happened recently, and there may be some hidden secrets in the information released by the police, and the information released by the victims is of all ages and different classes.
The perpetrators were almost random in their modus operandi, and I took a closer look at the cause of the victim's death.
The reason for the death and death of the same level of Jasmine School is clear, assuming that he was killed by someone, then in addition to his high intelligence and courage, this murderer is also likely to have a cruel sadistic personality, and perhaps the fragments of corpses and blood will make him feel excited.
Among the several people who died before, the methods of dismembering the bodies were very similar, and the police described in the news description that the body of the [victim] was incomplete and there were no traces of throwing the body, and they all died at the scene of the first crime.
Maybe it's the same person who committed the crime.
But I'm still puzzled by the other three victims who were bled to death.
Jasmine, you should have also read the report, the identities and life circles of those three people are almost similar. γ
Jasmine sat at the table, the morning sun was shining, the sky was clear after the rain, and the sky border was pure blue, it was a good sunny day.
She intently read the reply she received today, and as K reasoned, Jasmine's memory sensitively picked up a touch of information.
All three appear to be unemployed, unemployed, and have no regular jobs, and were found dead at night in some no-and-go corner.
Perhaps these cases were not the work of the same person.
"Jasmine, and that neighbor, I advise you to stay away from him, and do everything you do on your own safety.
Have you ever thought about why your neighbor was dangerous to me and why he had to go out every night?
And I think Jasmine, your parents' attitude towards him is also very subtle.
Following Jasmine's last letter, your neighbor said that [something] was hungry, and that was why there was a death on campus, and your suspicions were correct, so why did he know about it?
Jasmine, guess it's going to go out every night...... Not for running, but foraging?
Of course, this theory is not sound, because in all our limited cognition, there does not seem to be a concept of cannibalism. I don't think much of Jasmine you are curious about him, Jasmine's neighbor will reveal this kind of thing to Jasmine, it seems that you are intentionally or unintentionally guiding you to pay attention to him.
What a weird guy.
I'm advised, don't go investigate about him together, put away your curiosity.
Also: Jasmine has been taking medication lately, which makes me worry that maybe I should try to get the vitamins I need from food.
[Worried about Jasmine's K]"
Jasmine read K's letter back and forth several times, and her heart was dull and depressed, as if she was crushed by a large stone weighing a thousand pounds.
That feeling is difficult to explain, and she herself doesn't understand why this is happening, subconsciously doubting Chen Chen, and hoping for a bit of luck.
Maybe it's not as bizarre as K says.
He's just going for a run.
But......
Actually, I think the same way subconsciously, don't I?
Jasmine picked her head irritably, this time she didn't rush to share her thoughts with K immediately, she was a little unable to put pen to paper.
After pacing back and forth in the room for more than twenty minutes, Jasmine walked listlessly downstairs.
Today is the last day of school closure.
Jasmine, who had no intention of going out, was called by her stepmother to go to the supermarket to shop, and the two set off to the big supermarket in the city, Jasmine looked out the car window at the bustling city, the sunlight was covered by rows of high-rise buildings, and the wisps of light projected from the gaps passed over her face from time to time.
She stretched out her hand to grab the warm sun, but it was masked by the scene along the road, and mischievously slipped away from her fingertips.
How many secrets are hidden in the shadows of this busy and glorious city.
She wondered and couldn't get any answers.
Probably like K said.
"The reason for curiosity is to keep digging up new things. γ
However, there are some things that seem sinister, and curiosity is still hidden in the bottom of my heart, and those things that should not be discovered are just buried quietly in the soil.
Although the supermarket is also busy on weekdays, there are still fewer people than on weekends.
Jasmine wanders around the supermarket, her stepmother picks up today's fruits in the fruit section, and she takes a list to find groceries.
She has always been a road idiot, and the supermarket is like a maze, even if there are road signs to carefully distinguish the location of items, Jasmine is still dizzy for a long time.
My stepmother bought a lot of food today, and every time she went out, she would buy three to five days' worth of portions, because Jasmine likes to eat potato chips, and she also specially bought large-capacity roast meat flavored potato chips and various shrimp crackers.
Jasmine happily followed behind her stepmother with two large bags, and just stepped out of the automatic door to go around to the parking lot, when the street outside was full of people, and many pedestrians stood at the intersection waiting for the red light to turn green.
She suddenly felt something unusual, and casually looked back at the green sidewalk.
Clinker, saw a very familiar figure.
He wore a plaid shirt and simple black jeans, blending in with the crowd, and his back looked no different from the others.
But Jasmine visibly froze, opened her mouth slightly in disbelief, and stared at the figure tightly.
Chen Chen?
How did he end up here?
Jasmine's thinking was a little messy, in her understanding, Chen Chen would not go out of the room if he didn't sleep until the afternoon recently, so when he just went out, he saw the pair of white Nike sneakers he was wearing quietly resting in the hallway, thinking that he was still sleeping.
"Mom, I seem to see an acquaintance. Jasmine's reaction didn't allow her to think too much, and almost as the figure reached the middle of the zebra crossing, she anxiously greeted her stepmother, and trotted all the way to the road with two large bags of snacks.
"Eh, Jasmineβ" The stepmother didn't react at all, and Jasmine had already run away.
"This kid. He shook his head helplessly.
What to keep your distance and put away your curiosity.
K's words had long been forgotten, and Jasmine wondered if it was the guy.
Look at his walking posture, his left hand is habitually inserted in his trouser pocket, his right hand is not swaying too much, and the habitual movement of walking with a tall and thin figure looks like it.
When the hell did that guy come here.
The mystery in Jasmine's heart is getting thicker and thicker, and the more this happens, the more she wants to clear the fog and find the guy to ask for clarification in person.
Unfortunately, this opportunity was not available.
The green light flickered softly, turning red in less than thirty minutes, and she was forced to be trapped on the safety island of the zebra crossing, watching her back slip through the path of the opposite building and the tall building.
Jasmine was absent-minded all the way, and her stepmother asked her who she saw and if it was a classmate, and she nodded in a trance.
Chen Chen also had the same plaid shirt, she had seen him wear it before.
The back really looks like it.
So here's the problem.
Why is he in the city?
The answer to this question tended to be unsolvable, as she returned home to find a familiar pair of white sneakers still sitting quietly in the hallway.
And that guy ......
Dressed in comfortable white t-shirt sweatpants, he was lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV.
"Today, the public found an unknown male body in the river on the outskirts of the city, the police have rushed to the scene to deal with it, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the reporter rushed to the scene to see that the body was floating face down in the water, wearing black clothes, only the back was exposed, and it is currently preliminarily judged that the corpse's neck was cut by an unknown object, and the blood was almost empty. γ
"Why is this kind of report again, dead people all day long, it's really not peaceful lately. β
After the stepmother parked the car and entered the door, she heard the news of the dead man in the news, and while inserting the orchid she had just bought into the vase, she accosted her, but saw Jasmine standing at the door in a daze looking at Chen Chen in a daze.
Chen Chen felt that gaze, and couldn't help but poke his head out and meet Jasmine's gaze.
The inner workings of these two goods are completely at odds.
Jasmine is confused: He, isn't he outside, it stands to reason that he can't get home faster than them, whether it's a taxi or a tram or a bus? What's the matter, watching TV at home?
Chen Chen: Jasmine looks at me so intently, is it ...... Think I'm good-looking and finally like me?
