Chapter 16: Ah Xiu is missing
"What is a vampire? Haven't heard of it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xiaoxue asked.
"It's the weirdo who can turn into a bat and a human, who is afraid of the sun, and can only come out in the dark to hunt and kill people and suck up human blood. Yes! There are also people who die and become zombies, and they suck people's blood everywhere, that's all that stuff! ”
Xiaoxue turned her head and asked Sister Liu with her eyes, Sister Liu shook her head after thinking for a long time, Xiaoxue frowned and said, "What kind of mess, how can a bat become a human?" How can a person get up and suck human blood when he is dead, I don't know what you say? Inexplicable. ”
"This world is so mysterious, how can there be no monsters and zombies! It's too inconsistent with the basic setting of fantasy novels! Vixen, vixen is always there, right? can become a beautiful woman to hook up with those readers, and then eat people's hearts and livers, suck people's spirits or something! ”
Xiaoxue said: "There are foxes that can magic, and there are foxes that make people hallucinate, but I haven't seen them that can become human." Anyway, a fox is a fox, how can it become a human, you didn't sleep yesterday and your head was confused! Talking nonsense, imagination is strangely rich, how can there be such strange things in this world, haha....... Rong'er, you're so interesting, what a weirdo! ”
Cut! Are you qualified to speak to others? It's obviously a fantasy routine, but it doesn't play cards according to common sense, what kind of trouble is this? "Ahaha...... Didn't you? I'm just talking, I don't have to take it seriously, I don't have to take it seriously. Let's talk about the girl's business! "I put aside those idiotic thoughts and think about it seriously." Nine girls, this is not a small number, not to mention that nine is missing three or four in a row, which will also cause panic in the city. There must be a reason why it was not detected. Why? ...... "I was lost in thought.
Sister Liu spoke: "Okay, don't think about it." You two didn't sleep last night, it's not early, the pharmacy will open in a while, you two go upstairs and sleep a little longer. ”
I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, grabbed Sister Liu's arm and shouted, "I know, it's time, time!" ”
Sister Liu's eyes also flashed with a glimmer of light, and she said excitedly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" It's time! It is no wonder that the bodies of the girls had dry, rough, pale skin, mild jaundice in their eyes, yellow hair, and aphthous sores accompanied by glossitis, which turned out to be caused by long-term anemia. ”
Xiaoxue looked at the two of us with a confused expression, pouted and pulled us both and said, "What do you mean?" Tell me about it, and I'll know it too! ”
I reminded her, "Xiaoxue, what would you do if you needed human blood and wanted to arrest someone and not want to be discovered?" ”
Xiaoxue exclaimed: "Who wants human blood?" I don't want something so disgusting! ”
I smacked her in the head: "So I didn't say what if?" ”
Xiaoxue glanced at me, turned her head and thought about ......it for a long time, and finally shook her hand and stomped her feet, but she simply didn't want to do it, and asked me directly for an answer.
But I still wanted to test her, so I lowered the difficulty and asked: "Then Xiaoxue, under what circumstances do you think that people will disappear and will not be taken seriously by everyone, and they will soon be forgotten?" ”
She still shook her head for a long time, but she didn't come up with it, I pointed to myself and reminded her that Xiaoxue is not stupid, but she has too little experience and thinks that things are not comprehensive enough, as long as she gives some hints appropriately, she can still come up with an answer. "Oh...... I understand. If someone goes missing in the wilderness and doesn't find it for a few days, everyone will give up quickly, and no one will feel that something is wrong. After all, the world outside the city walls is too dangerous, and even if someone goes missing or even dies, it will be taken for granted and ignored by everyone. ”
"Yes, that's right. In addition, as long as the time interval of the missing girl is lengthened and the continuity is torn off, it will be regarded by everyone as an independent event one by one, and it will not be associated with someone deliberately arresting people, let alone thinking that these are actually planned. ”
"The mastermind behind this is too powerful!" Xiaoxue sighed with emotion, and suddenly frowned again and tilted her head and said, "But since she is so powerful, how could she be found because she couldn't handle the corpse well?" Isn't that too contradictory? ”
"I've thought about this too, and I think it's more likely to be an accident. Because there was an accident that even the mastermind did not expect, I guess that the nine girls were supposed to be raised and slowly bled out, but in an accident they were all sucked dry and died by something, causing him to make a mistake when temporarily disposing of the corpse, and he was discovered. Last night's incident can also indirectly confirm this, assuming that Qiu Aojun is the mastermind of the girl's disappearance, she originally planned well, even if the body was found, I think that with her ability, as long as she does not act in a short time, we people on the surface will not take her seriously, but she knows that she has been discovered and still committed crimes against the wind, and even gave up the original safe way of slowly arresting people, and instead used to catch the girl directly in the city, which is enough to show that she is in urgent need of blood now. Last night's battle directly singled out her existence, I guess she will definitely be more careless in the future, and if she arrests people again, she may not be like those girls last time, she may not be like those girls last time, she is likely to kill directly in order to get a lot of blood, and we are afraid that Yong'an City will be difficult again. ”
The three of us are in a panic, it's not that I don't believe in Master's ability, but I think that the enemy is dark and I am clear, Master, they are always in a passive state, which is too bad for arresting people. Thinking that another girl might be killed next, my mood couldn't be calm. Finally, under the mandatory order of Sister Liu, the chat was terminated, and she drove me and Xiaoxue back to the house and let us both sleep. At first, I couldn't fall asleep lying in bed tossing and turning, but before I knew it, I slowly fell asleep, and this sleep was dark, until someone woke me up.
I looked at the person who shook me with sleepy eyes, it was Sister Liu who was still standing next to Xiaoxue, Sister Liu said anxiously: "Rong'er, wake up quickly!" Oh no! Ah Xiu is missing! ”
Sister Liu's words were like a bolt from the blue, and I jumped up and exclaimed, "What's the matter?" How did Ah Xiu disappear? ”
Sister Liu was so anxious that her eyes were full of tears: "I originally made an appointment today to teach Ah Xiu some basic knowledge, but it was almost noon, and I didn't see Ah Xiu coming, so I asked my guy Fat Chen to go to the medicine garden to have a look, but Fat Chen came back and told me that Ah Xiu's grandmother said that Ah Xiu went out early in the morning to come to the hospital." Rong'er, what do you say? Ah Xiu won't let Qiu ......" Before she finished speaking, Sister Liu's tears fell.
I hurriedly comforted: "Sister, don't worry. Ah Xiu is young and has a big playful heart. Maybe you forgot the time to play with friends, or maybe you forgot to go shopping. Don't worry, Xiaoxue and I will go out to find it first. "I don't believe it myself, although Ah Xiu is not very old, he is well-behaved and sensible, and he will never do such a disproportionate thing, but looking at Sister Liu's appearance, I really can't bear to hit her again.
I quickly put on my belt and went out with Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue suggested looking for it separately, but I was really worried that this matter had nothing to do with Qiu Aojun, and I was afraid that Xiaoxue would also have an accident, so I resolutely refused to part with her. Xiaoxue complained: "Death Flame, usually when he is fine, he is always around and around, but now he can't be found when something happens, and I don't know what he's been doing recently, I haven't caught his shadow in the past few days!" Hum! As she spoke, she looked at both sides of the road and asked, "Rong'er, where do we start?" ”
"Let's go to the medicine garden first! Maybe she'll go back! I said what I remembered, turned around and went back to the house and asked Sister Liu: "Sister, you see that Ah Xiu has no shadow now, let's take grandma over?" It's not worrying that she's at home, don't Ah Xiu didn't find it, she ...... again"
"Rong'er is still thoughtful, I asked Fat Chen to hire a carriage and pick her up in a while. I'll do this, you two go to Ah Xiu first! ”
"Well, sister, don't go out, just let Fat Chen go."
"I see, you two go quickly!"
I hummed and went out to meet Xiaoxue. In order to have a broad view, the two of us stood on the house on the side, running quickly, searching the street below, until we arrived at the medicine garden and didn't see Ah Xiu's shadow, Xiao Xuexin and I were half cold. When we entered the house, Grandma Axiu kept apologizing to us with a sad face, and kept saying that she had caused us trouble, and persuaded us not to worry with tears in her eyes, so that Xiaoxue and I felt very uncomfortable. Although my grandmother refused to go to the hospital, saying that she owed us too much and couldn't trouble us with everything, and she was no problem with being an old woman, Xiaoxue and I still forcibly packed her luggage, and it wasn't until Fat Chen picked her up that we continued to look for Ah Xiu's whereabouts, but in the end we returned to the hospital with nothing.
Sister Liu couldn't stand the torment and went to the government to report the case. Only then did I know that four girls had disappeared in the city. As soon as this news came out, the three of us were even more desperate, and I remembered the night when I met Qiu Aojun, her terrible laughter kept echoing in my ears, which made me fall into anxiety, my reason slowly disappeared, and my emotions gradually got out of control, and finally I couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out of the door, Xiaoxue shouted my name and chased after her.
All the way, I stopped in front of the gate of Baihuayuan, Xiaoxue panted and chased after me, looked at the signboard of Baihuayuan, and said tentatively: "You want to find peonies?" ”
I didn't have the heart to reply to her words, my heart was full of anger, and my eyes were full of anger. Baihuayuan is not like the usual brothel of Qinglou, the girls are very tall, there is no street solicitation in front of the door, only the gang who recruits people and the slaves who lead the horse and the sedan chair. Seeing that I was menacing, the guys probably mistakenly thought that I was robbed by a man and came to find the girls, so they came over and picked up the two of us together. I don't know what my expression was at the time, but I glared at it, and those guys didn't dare to come up, so they obediently retreated again, and even Xiaoxue shrank behind me in fright, avoiding my sight.
I didn't care about Xiaoxue's feelings, so I went straight inside, and on the way I dragged a guy and asked Peony's room, and the guy was trembling for a long time or recruited, so I strode straight to the goal. When the old bustard heard that I was looking for peonies, perhaps afraid that I would hit their oiran, they stopped me several times, but they were all frightened away by my expressions.
