Opening the rusty iron door locked under the stairway, the little girl glanced back not far away, sighed softly, and then crept in.

In the evening, the entire corridor is filled with the smell of each family's food, making it easy to feel hungry.

With the sound of an iron pot knocking, the little girl pushed open the door of her house and walked in silently.

In the living room, a middle-aged woman is gently rocking the cradle, humming a tune with a gentle face, and in the cradle lies a child who is sucking her fingers to sleep.

I don't know if it's because the child is too big, or because the cradle is too small, but the legs of the little boy in the cradle have stretched out.

In the kitchen, a busy figure flashed, probably a slender old woman.

From time to time, the sound of the spatula colliding with the iron pot was heard, and the woman, as if she had not seen the little girl, did not even raise her head, and let the little girl stand there.

Overhead, there was a white ceiling fan, and the wind from the squeaky fan blades blew through the little girl's red face, blowing the ends of the double ponytail on her head, and drying the beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.

Before she could enjoy the coolness of the moment, the door behind her was opened again.

A middle-aged man with a tired face pushed open the door, approached the girl, and slapped the little girl on the back of the head.

The little girl's figure trembled slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "I'll help." ”

The man glanced at her with slanted eyes, then quickly walked to the cradle, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Ouch, the baby is sleeping?" ”

The woman pushed the man away dissatisfiedly: "You don't wash your hands and want to touch him?" ”

"Hehe", the man smiled, and the woman glared and feigned anger, and then laughed.

It seems that everything is happy.

The little girl probably didn't see this, because she had already walked into the kitchen full of smoke.

Before entering, she ripped off the headbands from her two ponytails, carefully put them in her pockets, and then quickly tied a single ponytail herself.

The old woman didn't pay much attention to it, but simply told the little girl to do things, looking like she was used to it.

"Recently, there has been a lot of rats, so you put this rat poison under the table first."

"Remember to wash your hands, and only when you wash them can you wash that dish."

"Bring this soup out."

"Rice."

"This bowl is your brother's fish soup, be careful, don't spill it."

The little girl did it one by one, and the sweat that had just been blown off was now hanging all over her little face.

As the sun sets, the sky is still bright in the distance, but when you look out from the house, it is getting dark.

After a busy day for a long time, the meals can be regarded as complete.

The old woman sat in the far corner, next to the little girl.

The woman was feeding the little boy fish soup, and after leaving the cradle, she found that with the little boy's current appearance and body shape, it seemed that she didn't need the cradle at all.

Even, you can eat on your own.

The man picked up the dish, put a slice in his bowl, and ate it.

After he finished chewing, he suddenly said, "Sister, that cram school, I won't go to this term." ”

He stared at the rice in the bowl, pulled the chopsticks and sent them to his mouth, without looking up at all, and then added: "Anyway, the teacher said that he would go to cram school, and he didn't say how long it would take." ”

The woman stopped feeding the soup, her mouth opened slightly, and she wanted to speak, but she stopped again.

The little girl also stopped her movements, paused for less than a second, and quickly answered softly: "Okay." ”

At this time, the old woman next to her pouted and said, "This woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and cram schools are things that don't need to spend money." ”

She finished and glanced at the woman.

The woman didn't know what to say for a while, but suddenly she found that her hand was pulled down by the little boy in dissatisfaction, and his mouth opened open, signaling that he wanted to drink soup.

The little girl glanced at the little fish soup left in the woman's bowl, stood up, and had a sweet smile on her face: "I'll go serve a bowl of soup to each of you." ”

No one spoke again, when the little girl entered the kitchen with one hand in her pocket and the other tightly in her other.

。。。。。。

Chen Gou was here, but he hadn't been able to eat yet.

He's anxious right now.

After sending the little boy to cram school, he went home, but fortunately, the woman seemed to have gone to work, and there was no one at home.

He had a normal and boring afternoon.

Later, the phone rang at home, and the woman told him to remember to pick up the child from class.

Chen Gou agreed, followed his memory, and walked to the place where he was separated from the little boy.

Only then did he realize that he did not know where the cram school was.

Fortunately, there happened to be a parent on the road who was taking their children back, and Chen Gou stepped forward to inquire about it, and only then did he know the specific location of the cram school.

But the parent finally said: "The cram schools are closed, and the children are long gone." ”

Chen Gou ran over, and he found that the door of the cram school was really closed, and it was empty.

After searching for a long time to no avail, Chen Gou had to return the same way, thinking about how to explain to the woman if he really couldn't find the child.

On the way back, he thought as he searched for the little boy.

In the community, he saw the doctor again.

Unlike at noon, the doctor did not hide in an inconspicuous corner of the community this time, but fled directly from the building.

Chen Gou wanted to stop the doctor, but the doctor ran too fast and didn't give him a chance at all.

An uneasy thought came over him until, until, he found the door of the house open, until, he found the woman lying in a pool of blood, with a pair of scissors pierced in her neck.

In a panic, Chen Gou was more of a little joy in his heart that the hanging heart finally fell steadily.

He thought, this is right, this is the plot that should be, what family trivialities, what father and son are filial piety, what delicious braised pork, are all floating clouds.

Something happened, which means that this scene has reached a climax and the most important place!

Chen Gou slowly squatted down and looked carefully at the woman's dilated pupils.

Then, lying on the ground, he slowly crawled around the woman's corpse.

He looked at a work of art, or he was reading a novel with a fascinating plot, and he was reading it very seriously.

What caused the woman's death was the scissors that pierced her neck deeply.

It seems that the perpetrator seems to have a lot of strength.

The woman's legs are bent and side-by-side.

But what made Chen Gou feel strange was that the expression on her face was not that kind of horror, nor was it that kind of feeling of resentment, but like laughing.

This made him feel very weird.

Even if she was stabbed so deeply with scissors, she wouldn't die immediately, and she should still have a trace of sanity at that time.

It stands to reason that no matter who the perpetrator is, her most normal reaction should be one of shock and fear, not the expression she has now.

Just as Chen Gou was observing the deceased at a very close distance, almost face to face, a mechanical voice sounded behind him.

"Chen Gou, you now have two choices, continue to stay in this scene to observe the deceased, or follow me to the second crime scene."

Looking back, Chen Gou found that the black shadow appeared behind him, like a phantom.

"The second crime scene? And one more? So if I go to the second crime scene, can I meet the other two actors? Chen Gou asked the words in his heart.

The black shadow didn't answer, just floated there, waiting for Chen Gou to give a final choice.

After struggling for a long time, Chen Gou made up his mind and nodded: "Take me there." ”

Immediately, the picture turned, and Chen Gou appeared in another room.

The family seemed to be eating happily before, but now their faces were painful, some were lying on the table, and some were foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground.

One by one, they all ran out of breath, and this dinner was the last meal they had eaten.

The black shadow appeared in front of the three people, and made a stiff, indifferent mechanical voice: "Three minutes of observation time, each other can only ask each other one question, and then give an answer." ”

Yubi, the doctor in the white coat, the panicked little girl's mother, and the frowning Chen Gou all began to act.

。。。。。。

Finally, the black shadow floated in front of Chen Gou: "Are you sure of your answer?" ”

Chen Gou glanced at the doctor whose eyes were constantly dodging, and then at the woman with her head down, biting her lip, and nodding heavily.
