Chapter 67: The Serial Case of the Killer Husband and Wife [2]

When she woke up, Connie's eyes were hazy, and she thought that maybe it was because of the overdose of the drug she had inhaled, and her brain was still groggy now, and she couldn't even see things clearly, and she could only barely see some outlines.
Lying on her side on the hard, cold bed, her body covered with a thin quilt, facing a half-open glass door.
There was a sofa by the door, and an old man seemed to be sitting on the sofa watching TV, which reported some current news, and the old man's bloated and rickety figure made her mind confused.
She appears to have been caught on her way back to the library, and then ...... And after that?
"Sting." There was a screeching sound of the door opening, and she thought that someone must have opened the glass door, and a black shadow walked in, seemingly a familiar visitor.
And the cold wind with a faint smell of ice and snow blew in along the gate, and the cold face, cold eyes, and tears fell with the blink of an eye.
The cold made her close her eyes, and tears evaporated in the freezing wind in an instant.
The sound of chatting in her ears made her clearer and clearer.
"Home alone?"
"yes, he's out. I'm watching the kids at home. โ
"Oh. It's time to pay attention, and I've lost a lot of children these days. โ
"yes......"
โฆโฆ
The conversation continued, but the fear grew in the aftermath of the bomb Connie dropped.
She could feel that the kid was talking about her.
But she's obviously not that person's child!
But fear could not relax her weak body, and not long after waking up, she could only fall asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was already night.
Still facing the door, there was no one on the sofa, and she looked at the dark patch outside the door, and knew that she had probably slept for another day, and her body had a little strength and could move.
This move scared her even more.
Something was being injected into both hands, and the transparent jar hung high and was being injected into her hands.
Connie pulled out the needle and gasped in pain, which made her more sober, but the moment she lifted the quilt and stood up, she still fell to the ground in the dark.
I don't have the strength, the kind of lack of energy that has been hungry for days.
Ignoring anything, Connie, dressed in pajamas, ran out of the door.
In the dark, the temperature is colder than during the day.
Walking barefoot on the snow and ice, she was so cold that her teeth were chattering.
"Oh my God, why is my luck so bad, even if I was kidnapped in the summer, it's all such cold weather...... It's going to be more difficult to get along with me! Connie ran crying.
She had just passed by a phone booth and had already called the police, so she had to find a place to hide herself.
But she was skeptical that even if she could hide herself tightly and not be caught, it was still a question of whether she would be able to wait for the police to come.
It is also possible that in the end, it was not torn up by the kidnappers, but frozen to death in this ice and snow/(tot)/~~
Thankfully, this is the downtown area, not some outlying suburbs, but it's late at night, and you can't even see the patrol on the streets, except for some 24-hour convenience stores.
Connie thought about it, and went into a convenience store, at least those people didn't dare to abduct her in front of others.
To his surprise, she met an acquaintance, the uncle who sold tea eggs on the side of the road!
Without hesitation, Connie opened the door and rushed to the cash register, where the uncle was checking out and was visibly surprised to see her.
"Connie? Why are you here? โ
"Uncle, help, I've been kidnapped...... Connie shuddered and cried, seeing the sympathy on the uncle's face, she felt aggrieved for a moment.
"Is the little girl alright?" The middle-aged uncle who bought something also asked.
"Did you call the police?" He seems to be a warm-hearted kind of person.
Connie nodded: "Well, I reported it, I was afraid of being discovered, so I ran over here, but it was too cold outside." Connie thought the man's voice was familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Okay, do you want to send you to your family?" The uncle also thought Connie was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he asked casually.
"I'll come, I'm off work anyway, where is your home?"
Connie burst into tears: "221b Baker Street. "It seems that her luck is still good, and she actually met such a kind person!
"That's fine, I'll go first." The middle-aged uncle said hello to the uncle who sold tea eggs and left, Connie breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle, can you borrow the phone here to call?" โ
"Of course." He sent someone to the door, turned his head and smiled at Connie in reply.
I suddenly felt a little strange in my heart, but Connie didn't think so much about it at this time, she just knew that she could go home!
"Hello?" On the other side of the phone, it only rang once and it was connected.
"Sherlock?" Connie shouted in surprise and heard Sherlock's voice, which completely reassured her.
"Sherlock! I'm telling you, I escaped, I'm at the convenience store now, no...... You should be able to locate the phone! โ
"Smack!" With a bang, the phone in his hand was snatched straight over and hung up.
Connie was stunned for a moment, looking at the uncle's eyes with hidden anger, and was confused for a while.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Why did you hang up on her all of a sudden?
"Hmph, what's the matter, I'm surprised that you can escape." He no longer had that cheerful appearance at this time, but was gloomy like a black snake in the sewers, and his eyes were vicious and heavy.
Connie was so frightened that she took a step back, hit the cargo rack, and fell to the ground with her legs limp, looking at her uncle in a daze, and the hairs on her body were aroused with fright.
"You ......"
She knew why she felt that the uncle's voice just now was familiar, it was clearly the voice she heard earlier, the person chatting with the rickety figure on the sofa!
They're in this group!
"Little one, it looks like I'm underestimating you." The uncle approached step by step, "By the way, you don't know my name yet." He smiled and lifted her chin.
"My name is โกโก Dehua."
He smiled contentedly, "Scissorhands, Edward." โ
Connie didn't know what he meant at this time, only that he was probably a perverted kidnapper who worshipped Scissorhands, after all, this person's reputation was not big in Britain at this time, and the families who lost their children, even the police department, didn't know what kind of criminals they met.
Connie looked into his frantic eyes, picked up the chips in her hand and smashed them over.
Get up and run as fast as she can.
But apparently, that packet of chips didn't do much.
Before she could fully get up, her right foot was dragged down.
A tremendous force dragged her from behind her, and her body slammed into the cold, hard marble floor.
With a muffled grunt, his large hand slammed into her neck.
"Hmph, it's a sharp kitten." He grabbed Connie's neck with one hand and stood up.
Connie struggled in midair, but only her throat was getting more and more breathless.
As she struggled, Connie saw Edward's movements, and he gestured to the monitor with a middle finger.
Damn this uncle who insulted the tea eggs!
Connie struggled with the last bit of strength, using the strength of his arm, and used her body as a swing, flicking her foot and kicking him in the nose.
A moment later, an oncoming slap and a sudden increase in force on her neck made her completely faint.
Hmph, let you tmd b.
Before Connie passed out, she smiled at his unlucky appearance.
