Chapter 12: He's Crazy
"Snow Rock Grass? It's such a nice name, but it doesn't look special. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info," Wu Xi whispered as he looked at its inconspicuous petals.
"If you don't like it, throw it away." Xu Xing's voice sank.
"No, I didn't mean that, it grew just right, so why should I throw it away? Wait, could it be that you specially picked it up and sent it to me? Is it a birthday present? ”
"You think too much, but I picked it up on the way." Xu Xing brought the plate to her, "Aren't you hungry?" Let's eat. ”
Wu Xi wolfed down the meal, and then remembered and asked Xu Xing: "Did you save me just now?" ”
"No, as soon as I came back, I found you lying in bed."
"Then have you ever seen a man dressed in white? I seemed to see a white figure before I fell unconscious, and he should have saved me. ”
"It's Liu Shi."
"Liu Shi? How could it be him? No, how did you know Liu Shi? Could you be the savior he said? ”
"Don't talk about that, tell me what happened these days."
Wu Xi explained to him everything that had happened in the past few days, and at the end she said: "Sister Liu was killed by Boss Du, I guess that helper should have been killed by him." But the strange thing is that even though she is dead, I have been able to see her for the past few days. Also, my horn is missing, and I may have lost it. ”
Xu Xing pondered for a while: "I think the loss of the horn should not be so simple, if such a large object is dropped, you will not be unaware." ”
"Also, how did it disappear?"
"Wu Xi, think about it carefully, did anyone come to the house before it disappeared?"
Wu Xi thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped the table, "I know, it's Sister Liu, she came to the house to deliver food that day, she must have stolen the horns at that time, Xu Xing, let's go to 'Du Ji' to take a look." ”
"Du Ji" did not open today, and when Wu Xi and Xu Xing arrived, they found that its door was locked. Wu Xi patted on the door for a long time and no one responded to her, seeing this, Xu Xing gently touched the lock surface with his hand, opened the door, and walked into the room with Wu Xi one after the other.
The room was a mess, and it was clear that someone had packed up and fled overnight. Wu Xi saw her horn on the shelf at the foot of the bed at a glance, she hurriedly ran over and picked it up, "Xu Xing, the horn was really taken away by Sister Liu, why did she do this?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, Sister Liu is not a human at all, she is just a 'dummy' made by Liu Shi." ”
"A dummy made by Liu Shi? What does this phrase mean? ”
Xu Xing didn't answer Wu Xi's question, he squatted down, picked up a withered yellow leaf on the ground, and played with it in his hand.
"So what about Boss Du? Just let him run away like that? Do you need to call the police? Wu Xi asked.
"I think he'll be back on his own soon." Xu Xing said slowly.
Wu Xi stood in front of the window of the pantry with a coffee cup in his hand, looking at the bleak street scene outside. It is now the middle of winter, and Boss Du and his "wife" have been missing for more than half a month, but they have not come back by themselves as Xu Xing said.
"Another person here in a daze?" Cui Minghan walked to Wu Xi with the cup and stood side by side with her.
"Director, long time no see." Wu Xi smiled at him reluctantly.
"It's like crying, it's ugly. Let's talk about it, if there is a difficult problem to solve this time, maybe my world's number one smart person can help you. ”
Wu Xi looked at the bare branches of the big tree in front of the window, "Director, why does a person think that she is still alive when he knows that the other person is dead?" So much so that when I saw someone who looked the same as her, I thought it was her who came back. Even if her life was ended by his own hands. ”
"Wow," Cui Minghan took two steps back, "Your story is so scary, I have goosebumps." But I really experienced the fact that the dead are still alive. My grandfather and grandmother loved each other all their lives, but unexpectedly, my grandmother died of a heart attack when she was 60 years old. Two weeks after her funeral, one day, Grandpa suddenly told Grandma that she was back, and his tone was as if she had just come home from a long journey, as if he had completely forgotten that she was no longer there. At that time, we were all terrified, and we thought that something supernatural had happened in our home. But then we found out that things were not as we thought, and the real reason was not the chaos, but my grandfather himself. ”
"What's wrong with him?"
"He's crazy. Because of the excessive longing and too sudden stimulation, his brain was instantly unbalanced, so the so-called ubiquitous wives in his mouth were just his own fantasies. ”
Wu Xi looked at his own shadow reflected in the glass, yes, why didn't I think of it? After the man killed his wife with his own hands, he must have been abnormal, he had long forgotten that his wife had died under his own knife, so he was ecstatic about the return of the dummy.
"Director, congratulations on successfully defending the title of the smartest person in the world."
After Xu Xing parked the car, he and Wu Xi walked towards the unit building, the New Year was about to begin, and the community was also newly decorated, and the trees along the road were full of silver lights, flashing bright and dark, and there was a festive atmosphere.
Wu Xi looked at the empty street outside the courtyard gate, in the past, at this time, all kinds of vendors were competing to shout and attract customers, but now because it is close to the Spring Festival, the small vendors have returned home, so it seems that this place is extremely deserted. "Xu Xing, I couldn't understand why Boss Du killed his wife a few days ago, but I don't seem to remember it at all. Now I know that he must have gone crazy and forgotten what he had done. ”
Xu Xing didn't answer Wu Xi's words, but asked her to himself: "How is the injury on your neck, did you insist on applying that bottle of ointment?" ”
"I'm fine, it's Boss Du'......" Wu Xi saw Xu Xing suddenly stop walking, her eyes fixed on the flowers behind her, so she hurriedly looked back, but she didn't see anything except clumps of fire trees and silver flowers.
"How long are you going to hide?" Xu Xing suddenly said without a head.
"Who?" Before Wu Xi finished asking, he saw Liu Shi walking out of the flowers with his head down, as if he had done something wrong, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xu Xing, playing with the corner of his clothes with one hand.
"Liu Shi?" Wu Xi stepped forward and grabbed him, "I heard Xu Xing say that you saved me that day, and I haven't thanked you yet." ”
"Thank him for what? Thank him for not killing? Xu Xing said coldly behind his back.
