Chapter 173: The Woman in Black

The air froze rapidly, and the water vapor in it condensed into tiny ice crystals, which slowly fell under the illumination of the overhead lights, like a ball of colorful dust that constantly flickered, and the scene looked beautiful, but the place where this brilliant ice crystal fell was bloody.

The semi-congealed pool of blood exudes a heavy fishy smell, and due to exposure to the air for too long, the color gradually darkens, developing towards black.

The five corpses, which had begun to stiffen, suddenly opened their eyes together and looked at the ceiling overhead, a scene that might have been seen by others, and they might have fainted directly.

Xia Ren will not be afraid, because this is what he does. Although he can use ice enslavement to control Lepo's body, the other party's brain is gone, so even if he controls it, it is useless, just a walking corpse.

The only "people" he could ask about now were the five lying on the ground.

"What happened to you before you died, and who killed you?"

Xia Ren half-squatted on the ground and asked.

"It's Daddy."

The two children replied with their mouths open mechanically.

"Why did he kill you?"

The five corpses remained in their original lying position, staring at the ceiling with blank eyes, shaking their heads together.

One of them, a middle-aged man in his forties, whose identity was not known for the time being, said: "I am a neighbor of this family, I live next door, I heard the noise and found them all lying in a pool of blood, and then Lepo rushed over with a knife and killed me together." ”

"Is there anyone else on the scene besides you?"

Lepo's wife said: "I was preparing dinner in the living room, the children were playing in the living room, and I didn't see any strangers coming in. ”

"There's a woman in black."

Lepo's mother's voice was hoarse: "I was on the second floor, and I saw a woman in black coming down from the attic with her son, and when my son was covered in blood, I knew he was dead when I saw him. ”

"The woman in black?"

Xia Ren's pupils constricted, and the worry he had been worried about was finally confirmed, that woman was really not simple.

When he went to the attic to search just now, half of the wooden planks that had sealed the skylight had fallen down, and there was a crack in the middle, as if it had been violently pulled or kicked off, and Lepo's wife and sons had been in the living room, and no stranger had entered their house, indicating that the woman had probably entered through the skylight.

A conjecture came to Xia Ren's mind.

"At noon, it wasn't just me who found me, but maybe the other party also found me...... Wrong. ”

If her instincts had been so sharp, there was no way the Lepo family would have survived into the night.

"It was the security and logistics department surnamed Ma who investigated the movements of the Dawning Center that alarmed her, and in order to avoid more exposure, she chose to kill Lepo, and it was a matter of luck to kill his family!"

Only this is the most likely, but what about the scene that looks like some kind of sacrifice? Is it also handy?

"The most important thing now is what is the identity of the woman in black!"

Being able to sit in the co-pilot of Lepo shows that Lepo knew her before, and there is some kind of close connection between the two, she must know where the bodies of the dead students in the Dawning Center are going, and even she is the main messenger behind the scenes!

Xia Ren then asked about Lepo's work and whether there were any strange people who were dealing with him, but Lepo kept these things very secretive and did not disclose them to his family at all.

His wife said something else, that no one was allowed to enter the three-story attic except Lepo, and that Lepo usually spent a day in the attic in his free time, not knowing what to do in it.

Once, the youngest son was curious, and secretly ran up to see what was going on, but he was so frightened that he couldn't give up, and it took half a year for his mental state to return to normal, and afterwards the younger son completely forgot what he saw in the attic, and only vaguely remembered that it was a cloud of darkness.

"Dark ......"

In less than two minutes, the skin of the five corpses had turned blue-purple, a layer of white frost had congealed on their surfaces, and the blood around them had also been frozen to a black-brown color, which was a collateral effect of ice enslavement.

Seeing that he couldn't ask for more information, Xia Ren gave up control of the five corpses and stood up.

"Xia Ren."

The siren stopped outside the courtyard, and Liu Xiuxiu ran into the house, wanting to inform Xia Ren, but as soon as he walked to the door, he felt a chill to the bone, and the temperature in the house had dropped to freezing point unconsciously.

"Are the security guards awake?"

Xia Ren looked back at Xiuxiu who was in a daze and asked.

"Huh? Well...... Woke up. ”

Liu Xiuxiu sniffed, I don't know if it was because the temperature dropped, or if her sense of smell began to adapt, and the smell of blood in the room seemed to have faded a lot.

"The superintendent has arrived, and the people from the logistics department will be about five minutes away."

"I see."

Xia Ren ignored Xiuxiu's suspicious gaze, his face was as usual, and he walked past him and came to the courtyard outside.

The security guard, who had just woken up, had his hands tied, one side of his cheek was high and swollen, and when he saw Xia Ren coming, he had a frightened look on his face, and his legs kept staring at the ground, wanting to retreat.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, just ask you a question and answer me honestly."

Xia Ren took out a crowbar and kept weighing it in his hand, while his eyes were squinting at the security guard, as if he was thinking about where to start.

Seeing him like this, how dare the security guard refuse, the companion next to him is still unconscious, although the siren is in his ears, but this young man wants to do it, and the superintendent can't teleport here to save himself.

"Just ask, I'll tell you what I know!"

The security guard nodded again and again, not daring to say a word.

"Very well, I would like to ask, have you ever seen a woman dressed in black and with very white skin from five o'clock this afternoon to the unknown just now? By the way, she has long hair. ”

"It's like ......"

The security guard tilted his head, frowned, and tried to remember for a few seconds, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Yes, yes!" Some! At half past five this afternoon, I had just finished eating and came to change shifts with my colleagues, and I happened to see a woman similar to you, wearing a black trench coat, very tall, about 1.8 meters! ”

"Trench Coat ......"

At noon, just a quick glance, Xia Ren didn't see the woman's clothes clearly, not sure if it was the same person, but still asked, "Do you remember what she looks like?" ”

"It's beautiful! Prettier than all the women I've ever seen in my life, but with ...... faces."

Cold sweat broke out on the security guard's head and whispered, "I can't seem to remember what she looks like?" ”

Xia Ren squinted his eyes and stared at the face of the security guard.

What he said was inconsistent, since he was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, he must have been impressed, how could he think of what he looked like?

Cold sweat was pouring down the security guard's head, and his eyes drifted to the courtyard gate from time to time, where two men in arbitral court uniforms were still blocking the superintendent.

"It doesn't seem to be lying."

Fortunately, it was not for nothing, at least I knew that the woman in black was very tall and beautiful.

Liu Xiuxiu was still in the house, and when she saw the changes in the corpses and the frost around them, her face was full of thought.

He couldn't understand what Xia Ren had just done in the house to make these corpses look like this.

"Xiu'er, let's go."

Xia Ren stood at the door and shouted at him.

"It's coming, it's coming."

As Xiuxiu walked out of the room, the last bit of life in the living room was gone, and the five corpses were neatly arranged on the floor, and on the coffee table, Lepo sat cross-legged with his head bowed.

Red blood dripped from the edge of the coffee table, and a gloomy laugh faintly came from the dead living room.

"Hey, hey, hey......"
