Chapter 5 The Man in the Suit and Li Xianglan

After buying the order, the man in the suit returned his eyes to Li You, and after looking at each other again, he stood up with the small notebook on the table and walked straight towards Li You.

He didn't know what the man in the suit was going to do, so he subconsciously moved his ass to the side.

"Shhh

The painting on the paper is very delicate, with figurative interspersed with abstraction, and the depiction is of a man in a trance, holding a knife in his hand. The abstract part is this knife, a bit like a kitchen knife for chopping vegetables, or maybe a knife he has never met.

Li You glanced at it a few times, but he didn't find anything special, but when he came over to look at the lively Li You No. 1, he said in surprise: "Little Li You, do you look at the things painted here, don't they look like the 'videotape' you are holding?" ”

"What?" Listening to his words, Li You re-examined it, and sure enough, in the lower left corner, the small thing that the man was holding in his right hand was the "black videotape" that brought him here. ”

Li You No. 1 twisted his mustache and said thoughtfully: "How does this person know that you are here, and clearly draw the scene where you are chopping vegetables in the back?" ”

After looking at the painting, Li You didn't speak for a long time, as if he thought of something, and hurriedly stood up and rushed out. Standing at the door and looking around for a long time, where is the figure of the man in a suit?

"Okay, it's long gone, if he comes tomorrow, I'll understand if I ask him again. Let's go inside and take a break from the night's work. After Li You No. 1 finished speaking to Li You, who was a little disappointed, he turned around and walked back.

But for two days in a row, the man in the suit did not appear again, like a moth that had put out a fire, leaving no trace.

After dinner, Li Xiaohua returned to the residence with the "twins". Idle and boring, Li You No. 1 turned on the TV and watched the news.

"There was a patient riot in our city's psychiatric sanatorium yesterday, and the situation is very critical. However, with the help of the police, most of the patients have been recovered, and photos of those who are still on the run are now being released. The staff of the nursing home reminds the general public that these patients are more or less violent, and if you see them, please contact us or the nursing home as soon as possible, the duty room telephone: 897......"

When Li Xianglan's face appeared in the photos flashing in the news, the "twins" were surprised.

"The second aunt escaped?" Li Xiaohua put the pen on the physics homework that had not yet been completed, and asked her brother with a glaring eye.

"Yes, I just finished posting her photo on the news, and you said it's been two days, and she hasn't had a penny on her, where can she go?" Li You's movements of twisting his beard in the past two days have been much more frequent, and if he continues to pull it like this, he is afraid that he will be bald.

Li You also felt that this matter was a little strange, this kind of patient riot was not often seen even in his world, why did this kind of thing happen after they went to visit Li Xianglan.

"Bell bell bell, bell bell bell."

Li Xiaohua looked at the unknown call on the mobile phone screen, and hesitated, but finally connected.

"Hello?"

"Hey, hello, we are from the Falling Leaves City Mental Sanatorium, are you Ms. Li Xiaohua?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

There was a pause on the other side of the phone, and he continued: "I'm sorry to bother you so late, may I ask what kind of relative you are Li Xianglan?" ”

"Niece."

"Okay, I guess you already know the news of the escape of the patients in the nursing home, I want to ask, did Li Xianglan try to contact you?"

"I still want to ask you, what happened to such a big thing, and it took a day to call our family?"

Li Xiaohua's aggressiveness made the staff on the other end of the phone apologize, and finally said that if there is any information about Li Xianglan, you must contact them as soon as possible.

While the three of them were still studying where the crazy lady could be, there was a noise outside the door. Li You stared at the two of them, showing surprise as if someone was there.

The two brothers and sisters have lived here since they were children, and they also know the security here, Li Xiaohua smiled and said strangely: "Bacheng is a wild cat and a wild dog, at most a thief, but there is no thief who can't open his eyes to steal things from us." ”

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The rain-like knock on the door suddenly sounded when Li Xiaohua finished speaking, and she was so frightened that she almost fell off the chair.

"Who? What about funeral? Li You walked quickly to the gate and stretched out his hand to pull the deadbolt. After opening the door, the woman they had just talked about appeared, Li Xianglan.

"Big nephew? Why is your beard so long? She was like entering her own house, and she didn't pay attention to Li You, who was full of surprise, and walked towards the courtyard.

After seeing Li You, her eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "What, why do I have two eldest nephews?" Hey, it must be the reason why I didn't take my medicine today. ”

After plugging in the door, Li You No. 1 hurriedly walked in, and the three of them surrounded Li Xianglan and looked at each other nervously. I was wondering in my heart that this crazy woman in front of me, who had been imprisoned for so many years, still remembered this place clearly.

"II...... Second aunt, why don't you stay in the sanatorium and come here? After all, it is a wide range of scriptures, Li You No. 1 first calmed down and opened his mouth to ask.

"There's nothing to eat, I'm hungry."

Li Xiaohua cleaned up the books on the table, walked quickly to the refrigerator, took out the roast goose leg that she hadn't eaten yesterday, and took two packets of instant noodles and walked into the kitchen.

Seeing that Li Xianglan kept staring at the "black videotape" in her hand, Li You seemed to confirm her conjecture, what happened in this sanatorium was no accident.

"Second aunt, do you know the origin of this thing?"

Li You interrupted the contemplative second aunt, to be honest, he couldn't tell if this crazy woman was really thinking, or because she didn't take medicine, she was a little sluggish. Then, he carefully handed over the "black videotape".

"Of course I know", Li Xianglan took the object and stroked it, "At the beginning, the person who wanted to kill me disappeared from me before the police arrived with this thing." ”

"The one who killed you?" Li You No. 1 also heard confusedly, pulled over the chair, and sat in front of her.

After fiddling with the "videotape" in her hand for a while, Li Xiaohua brought a pot of noodles and put it in front of Li Xianglan, opened the paper bag wrapped in the roast goose legs, and stuffed it into the noodles.

Looking at Li Xianglan, who was gobbling up, Li You felt that she must know something, so he asked: "You said, the person who killed you disappeared with this, what does that person look like?" Did he say that this is something. ”

"I didn't say it", Li Xianglan sucked and ate a few bites of noodles, and then changed her words: "It seems that the 'key' was mentioned." ”

Key? It is not an exaggeration to describe the role of this thing, but how to use this "key" to open the door is unknown. Li You expressed his doubts, and when Li Xianglan swallowed the food in her mouth, she stretched out her fingers.

"This scar is the price of using it, remember, don't put your fingers in it!" After speaking, her expression became a little strange, she stared at Li You with a grin, and then threw down her chopsticks and repeated what she had just said a few times.

Seeing that her emotions seemed to be out of control, Li Youyi put down the cigarette butt in his hand and hurriedly hugged Li Xianglan, but he didn't expect her to have so much strength that she almost broke free several times.
