Chapter 71: Layout
Three days later, Xiao Zhi went out in a black robe and rode a motorcycle to the house of Jimmy's father, Edward Anson.
When watching the movie, Xiao Zhi could see from the scene layout that Edward Anson's family was quite rich, and now he saw with his own eyes that even the appearance of a house was full of the atmosphere of capitalists......
Gently press the doorbell twice, and the door panel creaks open.
It was a young blonde woman, and she looked at Xiao Zhi suspiciously: "You...... It's the little employee at the supermarket, what's the matter? ”
The identity arrangement given by the piece of paper, Xiao Zhi is a person who grew up in the town, and after the death of his parents, he worked in the supermarket for another six or seven years, and there are many people who know him.
The corners of Xiao Zhi's mouth grinned.
Anyone in this town can know Xiao Zhi, but the blonde woman in front of him can't!
Because her identity doesn't allow it!
In the plot, Jimmy didn't know the woman when he first saw the woman when he returned to his father's house after his wife's death, indicating that the woman had been here for a short time.
The whole town is the size of a palm, and she is likely to be the face from outside the town! However, if it is only speculation, it is a bit convincing......
Xiao Zhi is a man who has watched the whole movie, and he deeply knows that the blonde woman in front of him is a "perfect doll" made by Mary Shaw based on real people. The woman who was made into a doll must have died.
If she were a resident of the town, she would have appeared in an old man's house as a little wife after she came back from the dead.
Will family and friends be indifferent?
But in the movie, the blonde woman is always alone next to the old man, Edward Anson, and has no family-related information except for a name named Ella.
Knowing the situation, Xiao Zhi reconfirmed that the current Ella's other identity is Mary Shaw!
Facing the beautiful Ella, Xiao Zhi showed a sunny smile and said: "Hello, my name is Xiao Zhi, I came to find Jimmy, his wife died a few days ago, I want to see if he is in a better mood...... Who are you? ”
Ella laughed and said, "I'm Edward Anson's new wife, huh...... Jimmy's stepmother, it's normal that you don't know me not long after you first came to town. But if you want to find Jimmy, I'm afraid you can't, because he left after a fight with Edward two days ago......"
Ella's face and movements are so fluid that it's hard to imagine a lifeless "perfect puppet".
In Xiao Zhi's understanding, this so-called perfect puppet is nonsense, nothing more than Mary Shaw taking a person's corpse and casually transforming it and then possessing her own dead soul, controlling its behavior and behaving like a real person.
Isn't this meowing just a demon possession?
Attaching to corpses is nothing new.
In the first zombie world, he had also seen twin resentful spirits possessed by zombies, and they were extremely flexible.
Xiao Zhi raised the fruit basket in his hand and said, "Okay, it's okay if Jimmy isn't there, I'll take a look at Uncle Edward by the way, I'm sorry I haven't had time to visit him when he's been unwell for a long time......"
Seeing that Xiao Zhi was still going to see Edward, Ella frowned slightly, but said with a smile on her face: "Okay, Edward, he is also bored in this empty house alone, and it must be very happy to have a young man like you by his side." ”
If it was an ordinary person, it would definitely be nothing, but Xiao Zhi could hear the hidden meaning in her words.
This Mary Shaw had a lot of murderous intentions and wanted to keep him with Edward Anson. In the whole show, Edward Anson is a dead man from beginning to end, but it is not so easy for Mary Shaw to kill herself!
When I walked into the hall, I was greeted by the smell of decay.
He knew that only a house that had been uninhabited for a long time would have this kind of atmosphere.
Edward Anson's voice came from upstairs: "Ella, who's down there!" ”
Ella responds, "It's Jimmy's friend, he's coming to see you!" ”
The two of them stepped on the wooden stairs on the second floor, and the sound of footsteps snapped and echoed, Xiao Zhi knew that the conversation between Edward and Ella just now was just a small play directed and acted by Mary Shaw, and it was really a drama.
On the dim wooden ladder, the rotten face of an old woman appeared on the face of Ella, who was walking in front, and she turned her back to Xiao Zhi and let out a cold laugh: "Xiao Zhi, you are from the town, I heard a little poem about the curse of Mary Shaw in the town, can you read it to me......"
Xiao Zhi sighed in his heart, he was holding a fruit basket in his right hand, and his left hand seemed to be in his pocket at random, but he actually held the pistol. He had an unhappy look on his face: "I'm sorry, Ms. Ella, I can't read this little poem. ”
Ella's footsteps paused slightly, and her voice became even colder: "Oh, why? ”
Xiao Zhi's face was full of righteousness, and he said loudly: "Mary Xiao is my most respected ventriloquist puppet expert, and I have had the privilege of seeing the photos taken by the puppets she made, which are very beautiful and realistic!" In my remote Asian hometown, the whole town is making puppets, and puppets are a cultural heritage of that place......
But what we're good at here is marionettes, which are very different from the mechanical puppets like Mary Shaw that are full of mechanisms. I have respect for every craftsman, especially Mary Shaw, a professional who has been making puppets all her life, and it is the respect of respect, so I think your little poem is an insult! ”
Xiao Zhi himself was a little numb when he said these words, but he knew that if he wanted to get closer to his goal, he had to disgust himself!
The snake hits seven inches.
Sure enough.
The illusory, rotten look on Ella's face faded away, and she chuckled, "It seems that you have a different opinion from the people in the town, which is surprising. As he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked up to the second floor.
When Xiao Zhi walked to the living room on the second floor, Ella was already standing behind an old man in a suit with a wrinkled face, this old man was Edward Anson, who had been made into a doll. Mary Shaw likes acting, so act with her! Xiao Zhi nodded and put the fruit basket on the table next to him: "Mr. Edward, are you feeling better?" ”
Edward showed an impatient expression: "I've been slumped in the chair for so long, you little devil only know to visit now, come to laugh at me?" Take your fruit basket and hurry away, I just want to be alone! ”
Although it was Ella standing behind her to manipulate Edward's movements and expressions, and speaking in ventriloquism, Xiao Zhi still waved his hand with a nervous expression: "You misunderstood Mr. Edward, please don't be angry, I'll leave ......"
His face flushed, like a frightened little boy, who lifted the fruit basket and left the second floor in a panic. Ella walked down quickly in her high heels, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Edward has a good temper now, maybe Jimmy was still a little angry after the quarrel with him two days ago......"
Xiao Zhi said secretly, isn't this what you scolded?
He said with some frustration: "It's okay, Mr. Edward's temper is well known, and I have even heard that his father has a worse temper, and even led people to do things that hurt Mary Shaw, alas......"
Ella saw sadness in Xiao Zhi's expression, she showed a thoughtful look, and then said: "You like mechanical puppets so much, in fact, I can make a little bit of it, although not as professional as Mary Shaw, but as long as you have time to come, I can teach you at any time......"
