Chapter 6 Reality Roundtable 7
92 Lexington Avenue, St. George
The streets of St. Georgia in the middle of the night, it seems that it has faded a little bustling, a little pompous, the oncoming wind is a little chilly, Xiao Qihan walked on the street, the street lights flickered, a few small moths flew in front of her, she raised her hand to disperse the moths, wrapped her fur coat tightly, and walked towards House 92.
A sedan drove past her, and when she saw her on the sidewalk, it reversed again, and the window of the sedan rolled down, and several women with dyed hair poked their heads out of the carβ
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Qihan?"
"Why is she here, hahahaha."
"Needless to say, my father is dead, of course she is free."
"Shall we go and congratulate her?"
Those people were laughing and making vicious jokes.
I thought it was inconsequential ridicule, but I didn't want how harsh these words were in Xiao Qihan's ears, like a sharp knife, plunging into the heart at once, bleeding and painful.
Xiao Qihan stopped and endured, but those eyes burned with anger.
"Yo, look at her getting angry again!" In the car, a girl teased.
"That stinky bitch is such a character, her sister is a criminal, her father was killed, this family deserves it!"
Xiao Qihan shouted angrily: "What are you talking about?!" β
She picks up the empty wine bottle recovered from the street and throws it at the car, but is dodged by the girls in the car.
"Just talk about you! What do you think! If you have the ability, come and beat me again! β
"Don't think that you can write off your previous grievances after changing schools!"
"That's right! Maybe one day she will also become a criminal and be sent to the [Minghe System] to reunite with her sister! Hahaha-"
The people in the car were carnivaling, and the car accelerated and drove away, leaving Xiao Qihan standing alone, trembling with anger.
"These scumbags ......," she kicked hard at the trash can on the side of the street to vent her anger.
But this smart trash can seems to be working against her, and the automatic voice replied: "Everyone is responsible for taking care of the trash can." β
"Love you? Does anyone love me...... I don't even have a trash can now......" Xiao Qihan muttered as he walked to House 92. She looked at the gloomy villa and sighed, her face mixed.
Even if you go to the bar and drink more, it's hard to come back here.
The alcohol may confuse your consciousness for a while, but it can't stop the constant sadness.
After waking up from a hangover, mental distress and physical distress are double punishments.
Though she knew, even if she knew, so what......
Xiao Qihan sighed, she stood for a full minute before deciding to muster up the courage to return to the room where there was only herself, and face the cold reality, in this world, she was alone, and there were no more relatives.
"Click."
She opened the door, turned around and locked it, and was about to hang the satchel in her hand to the side, but something didn't feel right......
The wind in the hallway, blowing her dreadlocks, stimulated her senses.
She suddenly noticed something unusual - the window was open.
Xiao Qihan narrowed her eyes slightly, and through the night, she saw that at the end of the corridor, the window of the study was open, and the window of the crime scene was open.
(Windows...... How can it be open? οΌ
She wondered, and subconsciously remembered whether she had opened the window before going out.
But she remembers clearly that on the night when the police of the state police station brought her back, the police of the forensic department repeatedly emphasized to her that in order to ensure that the crime scene was destroyed, she should not open the window of the study, so as not to damage the crime scene by wind and rain.
Xiao Qihan recalled what Adam said when he visited a few days ago-
β¦β¦
[You can add my contact information, if you have any questions, you can contact me.] γ
[Or if you can think of any details related to this case and find suspicious people, you can contact me.] γ
β¦β¦
Could it be that there are suspicious people following her?
Or did the murderer return to the scene of the crime and wanted to destroy some incriminating evidence?!
One terrible thought after another came to his mind, and Xiao Qihan's heart couldn't help but tighten.
She hurriedly took out her mobile phone from her handbag, found Adam's contact information, and sent him a [SOS] text message, she had seen it in police movies before, and the distress signals were sent like this, concise and clear, and could achieve the purpose of calling for help.
Putting down her phone, she pulled out the anti-wolf sprayer from her handbag.
This was taught to her by her sister, and the girl should carry an anti-wolf sprayer with her, in case there is someone with bad intentions and she is powerless to resist.
Putting down her handbag, she pulled out Eric's million-dollar golf club from the door and walked towards the room.
"Squeak......
She lowered her voice, tried not to make a noise from her steps, held her breath, and walked through the living room, the dining room, and finally, to the study.
In front of the door, she took a deep breath and counted "1, 2, 3" in her mind, before she broke into the study with a golf club.
"Brush ......"
Except for the wind-blown curtains, there was silence in the study.
There were no expected intruders, and no one to ambush her.
Could it be that she is overthinking?
Could it be that you want to open the windows for ventilation before you set off?
Xiao Qihan walked to the window suspiciously and silently closed the window.
"Squeak-"
Suddenly, she heard the rattling of the wooden floor.
"Boom. Boom. β
Then she heard the faint sound of footsteps coming from upstairs.
Her face turned white all of a sudden, and her originally settled heart suddenly rose to her throat again!
There was someone in the house!
Xiao Qihan looked at the ceiling of the study, not knowing what the situation was on the other side of the plank, the only thing she knew was that directly above the study was her own room.
οΌβ¦β¦ Sure enough, you still want to attack me?! οΌ
Xiao Qihan held a small can of anti-wolf spray in the palm of his hand and grabbed the golf club in front of his body.
She walked out of the study, out of where her father's body had fallen, and into the stairs of the entrance. She walked a few steps towards the second floor with her legs raised, and then she heard the voice a little clearer, like ...... Someone was rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for something, and occasionally the sound of small objects falling on the floor could be heard.
(Is it a void??) οΌ
She stabilized her mind, usually she is a vigorous and resolute woman, tonight after drinking, a little bolder, plus she was angry on the street just now, there is no place to vent, under the effect of these factors, it dilutes her fear.
(Damn thief, let you see how good the old lady is!) οΌ
She walked up the stairs, step by step, to the second floor, past the master bedroom, and past her sister's room, when she suddenly saw that her sister's room was also turned into a mess, all the old clothes had been turned out, the books on the bookcase had fallen to the ground, the objects on the desk had been rummaged around, and even her sister's picture had fallen to the ground.
(Is the goal money?!) οΌ
Xiao Qihan thought, this must be a greedy thief, but at least it is not a terrible murderer, a thief is much easier to deal with than a murderer.
She puffed herself up again, tightened her grip on the golf club, inch by inch, and moved to the door of her room.
Holding her breath and poking her head out cautiously, she saw by the moonlight a man dressed in black standing at her desk, with his back to the door, bent over, rummaging through her drawers.
"Damn thief!"
She rushed into the room, the other party turned around in surprise, Xiao Qihan raised his hand to spray the other party's face!
The chili water instantly stimulated the respiratory tract and eyes, and the thief subconsciously wailed, took a few steps back, but tripped over a chair and fell to the ground!
Xiao Qihan raised the golf club in his hand, and was about to fight against the thief, but the other party didn't seem to be a vegetarian, and he reacted to what happened in less than a second, he dodged the bat that Xiao Qihan fell on, one turned over and stood up, raised his hand to wipe the pepper water off his face with his sleeve, Xiao Qihan turned around, and the golf club in his hand hit him again, but the other party was tall and big, caught her golf club, grabbed it, broke it in half and threw it aside, and the next moment he clasped her neck with one hand, Pressed her head against the wall.
"Be honest with me!" The thief warned viciously.
It was a man's voice.
Xiao Qihan struggled, tearing the thief's sleeve with both hands, her long nails scratched the thief's gloves and directly scratched the back of her hand, but the other party didn't seem to be affected by this small scratch, and smashed her head against the wall several times, "Knock." Boom. Boom. After a few times, Xiao Qihan felt a little dizzy, and his strength to struggle was a little less.
Just then, Adam arrived!
He knocked open the door downstairs and saw Qi Han's handbag on the floor.
And Xiao Qihan on the second floor and the thief who broke through the empty door naturally heard the sound of Adam banging on the door.
"Adam! I'm on the second floor! Save me! Qi Han shouted wittily.
Adam rushed up to the second floor with a gun, and saw a man pinning Qi Han, his hands pinching her neck, her forehead was bleeding and staining the wallpaper red.
"Police! Don't move! Adam pointed his gun at the man in black.
When the black-clothed thief saw that the police had arrived, he smashed Xiao Qihan's head against the wall again.
"Don't come here! Or I'll kill her! β
Adam didn't speak, but his expression was a little more grim.
"You can't kill people, burglary and homicide are two crimes, you think clearly." Adam's deep voice sounded extra safe in the night.
The black-clothed thief gritted his teeth, angrily pushed Xiao Qihan towards Adam, opened the window himself, and jumped out!
Adam caught Qi Han, who was about to fall, and raised his hand to shoot the back of the black-clothed thief-
"Bang-"
A gunshot instantly alarmed the entire Lexington Avenue, and the surrounding houses were lit up, and people opened their windows to see what was happening.
Adam hurried to the window and saw that the trees in front of the house were shaking violently, but there was no sign of the black-clad thief.
He escaped by jumping off a tree......
"Boom." Adam clenched his fist and slammed it on the windowsill.
"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"
Behind her, Xiao Qihan gasped in shock, her head was a little dizzy, looking at the back of Adam in front of her, a little ghosted.
Hearing this voice, Adam came back to his senses and squatted beside Qi Han: "Are you okay?" β
ββ¦β¦ It's okay, it's just, the head, a little dizzy. She pointed to her forehead, blood running down her forehead, and then, with a black eye, fainted in Adam's arms.
