Chapter 68: Confrontation
Gu Sirui leaned against the wall, trying her best to slow down the sound of her heavy breathing from climbing the stairs, twice at a time.
She breathed deeply, exhaling a warm temperature that contrasted with the cold body temperature around her from the rain, and the dark corridor buried her figure.
Ah Jiu inside the door also made the same action, his fingers rubbing the handle of the knife, and the fierceness in his eyes could not be ignored.
The two of them were at a stalemate, she didn't break in, and Ah Jiu didn't open the door, as if this tense scene didn't exist at all.
At this moment, the elevator made a noise and stopped on their floor, and she glanced at the door reluctantly, and walked away quickly but quietly.
The elevator opened, and a middle-aged man walked out, holding an umbrella in his hand, drenched, and even water dripping from his shoes to the ground.
It seems that although this man has an umbrella, his clothes and shoes are wet because of the heavy rain.
Leaving footprints on the floor as his shoes stepped on, he stopped in front of a house and pulled out a bunch of keys from his wide coat pocket.
After looking for a while, he took one of the keys, inserted it in the lock and opened the door, and after entering, he closed the door again, and the sound of thunderclapping faintly came from inside the door.
Ah Jiu inside the door seemed to be dispelled by this series of noises, and walked to the window.
Thinking that since they are all awake, let's look at the situation on her side, Su Xi has been urging him for a long time and wants him to finish the matter quickly.
There was a telescope by the window, and he lowered his head and looked into the distance through the telescope, looking at Gu Sirui's home.
But because the people in her family were still asleep and the lights were not turned on, the whole house was very dark and it was difficult to see the situation inside.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out of it and put it in his mouth, and the light of the lighter suddenly appeared in the dark space.
He lit the cigarette, which glowed faintly, and he took a deep breath and exhaled another circle of smoke that confused his vision.
The overly unpopular space suddenly made a difference, and the air was filled with a faint smell of tobacco.
Although he was awake, there was still a little tiredness in his eyes, after all, he had been paying attention to Gu Sirui's situation all day yesterday and had solved one thing.
I also saw the police find the door to talk to her, saw her expression of dissatisfaction with the police's suspicion of her, and also saw the scene of the police staying in her neighborhood to monitor her.
To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied with the police letting her go so easily, and he originally wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.
But it wasn't so easy for her to get rid of suspicion, and the strong smell of tobacco surrounded the tip of his nose, which temporarily calmed his mood.
Especially when something bad happened just now, he was sure that someone was standing outside his door just now, and it was just someone who came and that person left.
And he suspected that that person was Gu Sirui, after all, he had some contact with her recently (because of Su Xi), and she seemed to have discovered him today.
This made him have to be wary, although he felt that he had the confidence to solve her, but he was not a conceited person, and it was impossible for him to really think that she was a weak chicken.
After all, the person who can find out what he is spying on should not be too weak.
And Gu Sirui, who had just walked away, actually didn't leave the building, she sat on the stairs, holding her legs and shivering.
Of course, she didn't tremble because she was afraid, but because she suddenly found that the temperature in the early morning was a little low, she was afraid of the cold, and when she was blown by the cold wind, she nested in the corner to warm herself.
"I made a mistake, I would have worn more clothes if I had known. I don't know if that person will come out, if he doesn't come out, then I won't go home empty-handed. ”
"But I can't just kick the door in, not to mention whether it will be bad for waking up others, just say that kicking the door is also a thankless task, and my feet will hurt."
Gu Sirui sat on the stairs and thought about it in pieces, and suddenly ran out with some regrets, isn't it good to stay in the warm quilt to sleep, I have to run out and die.
But if she didn't get rid of him, she felt like she had a thorn in her heart, and she was very uncomfortable.
She sat alone on the stairs, like a homeless puppy, looking miserable.
"If only a thunderbolt fell directly from the sky and slashed him, so I wouldn't have to make any effort. He must have been an ugly and deformed man. ”
Ah Jiu, who was scolded by her in her heart, suddenly had an itchy nose and sneezed.
Who is scolding him, do you want to die!
He rubbed his nose and thought indignantly.
Sitting on the stairs, she was still holding the villain in her heart, and suddenly it occurred to her why she was blowing a cold wind here, it was better to lure that person out directly.
The prey sent to the door, he probably won't refuse.
Thinking of this plan, she immediately got up, shook her somewhat numb legs, and quietly walked to the door again.
She doesn't have to knock on the door, she just scratches the door and makes a little noise.
As she spoke, she gently scratched the door with her still short nails, and a creaking sound rang out abruptly in the quiet space.
Ah Jiu immediately put down the cigarette, pressed it in the ashtray, and stared at the door tightly, he knew that she was back again.
But why didn't she make a sound just now, but this time she did, did she want to lure him out?
Thinking of this possibility, a different smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
It just so happened that it saved him trouble.
He walked to the door and opened the door, it was Gu Sirui standing outside the door, the wide raincoat completely wrapped her body, and the raincoat and hat covered most of her face, revealing only a lip and chin.
"I didn't expect you to find the door yourself."
Ah Jiu looked at her in front of her with a smile, and said without any surprise.
She didn't speak, just silently took a few steps back, turned away, and her fingers curled up to signal him to follow.
He took out a spare raincoat from the cabinet next to the doorway, sneered and followed.
The rain outside still hasn't stopped, but it's not that heavy, it's drizzle at best.
The rain trickled down on the two people's raincoats, then slid down and fell to the ground.
The two of them walked into an alley, where there was no light, and the darkness and silence were terrible, like a giant beast with its mouth open and devouring the people who came and went.
The two entered the alley one after the other, and although it was dark, the two of them were not affected in the slightest, and stood facing each other.
"Although I know it may be you, I'm still a little surprised, I can ask you where you got the courage to come to the door, you should know what my ultimate purpose is."
Ah Jiu was the first to speak, and the merciless words in his mouth kept talking, trying to frustrate her sharpness.
