CHAPTER XVII
(a)
When Wang Kai borrowed the car and returned to Mingyue Community, the scene in the rental house startled him.
I saw that Anne's hands were covered in blood, and there were blood stains on the floor and walls of the bathroom.
Even more terrifying was the girl's body lying in a pool of blood on the bathroom floor, but the body had no head.
"You...... What did you do......" Wang Kai took two steps back in fright by the scene in front of him.
The strong smell of blood emanating from the bathroom made him feel sick and wanted to throw up. He walked away with his hands over his mouth. As soon as I walked to the living room, I couldn't help but throw up.
"Are you alright?" Seeing this, Anne hurriedly came over to ask Wang Kai.
"I ...... I can't stand the smell of blood......" Wang Kai said, continuing to vomit.
"I'm going to finish it in a minute. I'll flush the bathroom in a moment. Anne said.
With that, Anne ran into the bathroom again.
Wang Kai continued to hold the trash can and vomit.
I don't know how long it took, but Anne came out of the bathroom. Holding a kitchen knife in his hand.
She came to Wang Kai and asked, "How is it now?" ”
When Wang Kai saw Anne holding a kitchen knife in her hand, he asked loudly, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Oh, this?" Anne put away the kitchen knife in her hand, "I just used it, just rinsed it, and I'm going to take it and put it away." ”
"What's the matter with the corpse in the bathroom? What did you do? Wang Kai asked in horror.
"What's going on, that's what you see." Anne said calmly.
"You cut off her head?"
"yes!"
"Why are you doing that?" Wang Kai couldn't believe what he saw, "You are too cruel!" ”
"Cruel? Do you think it's better to be cruel now, or wait for the police to come to the door? Anne also said loudly.
"What do you mean?"
"I've thought about it. The disappearance of two people for no reason will definitely alarm the police. Moreover, we don't know what happened to the girl upstairs, whether she lived alone or with others, we don't know. If someone lives with her, then she disappears, and someone else will definitely call the police. ”
"So what? What does it have to do with you cutting off her head? ”
"If the police really investigate the girl's disappearance, there is a good chance that they will find us downstairs. After all, she disappeared when she came down to get her clothes. However, no one seems to have come to her during this time, indicating that she was probably home alone when she came down to pick up her clothes. ”
"So no one knows she's coming downstairs to pick up her clothes?"
"Nope. Don't underestimate the capabilities of the police. If she came down on her way to dry her clothes, there is a good chance that she still has unfinished clothes in her room. And when she came down, she didn't bring her phone, keys, wallet, anything, not even her slippers. The police must have thought that she would not go far, and even wondered if her clothes had fallen while she was drying, and she was just going down to pick them up. ”
"If the police think of this, they will definitely find us downstairs."
"That's right. We don't know if anyone knows about her disappearance, or when the case will come to an end. So, we must prepare for the worst. Once her disappearance is discovered, what will we do to clear our name? ”
"I still don't understand, what does this have to do with cutting off her head?"
"What if she lives alone and no one knows about her disappearance?" Anne said.
"What do you mean?"
"If the body is headless, then even if the body is found one day, it will not be possible to confirm her identity. No one even knew she was the girl upstairs. The premise is that she lives alone and no one knows about her disappearance. ”
"But what if someone lives with her? Isn't that an extra step for you? ”
"From what I can tell, she should have just moved in and is currently living alone." Anne said.
"How do you know?"
"I thought about it before, this girl I had never seen her before. If she had been living upstairs with us, she would have been bumped into once in a while up and down the stairs, and she would have been more or less impressed. But I'm sure I've never met her. I think she should be the new tenant who moved in after I moved out. ”
"There are so many people living in the community, even if they are upstairs and downstairs, it is normal that they have not met and do not know each other." Wang Kai said.
"So, in order to find out about this matter, I deliberately checked the Internet to see if there was any rental information about the house upstairs on the Internet. As a result, I really found the information about the shared house posted by a girl. Judging from the name of the community, the floor, and the layout of the rooms, I am sure that it is exactly the same as ours. In the end, I was sure that someone asked her online how the community was doing, and she posted a photo of me seeing the walnut tree, and it was from this window that I was looking out. ”
"So, she's the girl who posted the sharing house?"
"That's right. Moreover, I saw that she also sent a message to others online this afternoon, saying that the house has not been rented out yet. So I concluded that she must have just moved in and was looking for someone to share with. Moreover, she said in the share house request that she was single and lived alone, so she asked for a single girl to share the house. Therefore, it can be concluded that at present, she still lives alone. ”
"But even then, we can't guarantee that no one will know about her disappearance?" Wang Kai said.
"There are no 100% guarantees. It's all just my reasoning. So, we have to prepare for the worst. The reason why I cut off her head is because I hope that one day, if the body is found, it will not be so easy to determine the identity of the deceased. ”
"However, if the body is found, there is a good chance that we will be found."
"That's right." Anne looked at Wang Kai and said, "So, we have to find someone to take the blame." ”
"The one who took the blame?" Wang Kai didn't understand what Anne meant.
"Now that the girl is dead, it has become a fact. Moreover, her disappearance may soon be known, and perhaps we downstairs will soon be found. Moreover, we have been here today, and we can see it clearly in the surveillance. In order to completely clear our suspicions, we must find someone who is behind the blame. Anne said.
"What do you want to do? Where to find the person who carries the blame? Wang Kai thought Anne was crazy.
Anne glanced at Xiaomei on the bed and said to Wang Kai: "You don't need to look anywhere, there are already ready-made ones." ”
Wang Kai saw Anne and glanced at Xiaomei on the bed, and asked, "The person you said was Xiaomei?" ”
"That's right." "I've thought about it, and I think it's a good plan. We can pretend that Mei killed her, and then Mei absconded in fear of the crime. In this case, everyone won't find Xiaomei, and they won't feel strange, but they will think that she must be hiding. No one will know that she is dead. ”
"However, if the police think that Xiaomei is the murderer, they will definitely find a way to find Xiaomei." Wang Kai said.
"That's right. However, they will not find Xiaomei. Because, the real Xiaomei is dead. Anne said.
"The real little beauty?" The more Wang Kai listened, the more confused he became, "What do you mean?" ”
"If the police want to find Xiaomei, they will definitely check the surveillance. If they find out, Xiaomei has not gone out again after entering the community. Then they must wonder if Xiaomei has died in the community. Therefore, we must let them see from the surveillance that Xiaomei walked out of the community, and she disappeared outside the community. In this way, they will believe that Xiaomei is absconding in fear of crime. ”
"But, how did you push this matter onto Xiaomei?"
"Count, count."
"What do you mean?"
"The girl upstairs is missing, and the police are likely to find Xiaomei downstairs. If, in this room, the body of the girl upstairs was found. Then, it can be assumed that the girl died in this house. Then it must be inseparable from Xiaomei. At this time, Xiaomei disappeared again, so they would believe that Xiaomei must have absconded in fear of crime. ”
"However, even if this is the case, it can't be proved that Xiaomei killed her?"
"So, I'm going to falsify another piece of evidence."
"What evidence?"
"I will use her fingernails to scratch a deep mark on Xiaomei's body. In her fingernails, there is Xiaomei's flesh and skin. In this case, Xiaomei can't get rid of suspicion no matter what. ”
"It's horrible!" Wang Kai looked at Anne, his eyes full of fear.
"What's so scary?" Anne looked into Wang Kai's eyes and asked, "Me?" ”
"What you think." Wang Kai said, "Your idea is terrible. It sounds like there's nothing flawed. However, it is frightening. ”
"I know what you're thinking." Anne said, "You must think that I am too cruel to be so rational in such a situation." Moreover, I can think of all kinds of things, which makes you think that I am a scary person. It's like...... Murderer-like maniacs. ”
"I don't know...... How did you come up with this? Wang Kai didn't dare to look into Anne's eyes.
"It's simple. If we don't think about it, the police think about it. If we don't prepare in advance, you know what we're going to be up against. Anne said.
Wang Kai fell into deep thought. At this moment, his mind went blank. Or, they plead guilty. Or, they find a way to get rid of themselves.
Wang Kai buried his head and asked Annie, "Tell me, what is your plan?" ”
Anne took a deep breath and said, "I've already cut off the girl's head." We put her body in the freezer of the refrigerator. ”
When Wang Kai heard this, he was shocked: "What did you say?" Refrigerator? ……”
"Because, only in this way, can it be proved that she died in this house. Only in this way can we blame Xiaomei. Anne said.
"What about that head? In that case, why did you cut off her head? ”
"I'll bury her head in that little deserted garden in the back." Anne said.
"Why? Aren't you doing this too much? Now that the police have found the body, why are you taking your head away? ”
"To make it a little more difficult for them." Anne said.
"It's unimaginable." Wang Kai's tone was full of anger.
"Actually, I did this so that the police would not confirm the identity of the deceased so quickly. In this way, they don't know Xiaomei's motive for killing her. ”
Wang Kai seemed to suddenly think of something and asked, "That's right! What was Mei's motive for killing her? ”
"I don't know."
"You don't know? You don't know what game you've set up? ”
"It's because I don't know it, so it's the most real. Even we don't know why Xiaomei killed her, and the police won't know about it. Because, Xiaomei didn't kill her at all, so what is the motive? In this case, the police will only be caught in a strange circle to find an answer that does not exist at all. Anne said.
"Then, how can you convince the police that Xiaomei killed her?"
Xiaomei's disappearance out of thin air is the best proof of this. Think about it, if you don't abscond in fear of crime, why did Xiaomei disappear out of thin air? The more they can't find Xiaomei, the more the police will believe that she is the murderer. ”
"However, you just said that you want Xiaomei to disappear outside the community, and you need to be able to see her walk out of the community in the surveillance. How can this be done? ”
"There's nothing that can't be done. I can walk out pretending to be her. Anne said.
"Pretending to be her?"
"That's right. Xiaomei and I are about the same height and weight. As long as she wears the clothes she usually likes to wear, dresses up as she usually likes to dress up, and covers her face a little, no one will recognize her. ”
"However, Xiaomei has long hair, and you have short hair."
"It doesn't matter. I bought a wig that was exactly the same as hers. It's in my bag. ”
Wang Kai was taken aback, but he didn't expect Anne to think of this. "So, you actually thought about it a long time ago, and you want Xiaomei to take the blame, right?"
"That's right. I had thought it all out before I came in, and I had bought everything I needed. ”
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't think it's necessary. You are too indecisive, and it is more straightforward for me to do it alone. ”
"And that includes - beheading, is this a thing?"
"There's no point in you asking that now. Now, you just have to do it according to my plan. Anne said impatiently.
"Then let's go and bury the body first!" Wang Kai said, "I looked at them here, and I panicked. ”
"There's no rush. A head only, very quickly. Anne said.
"Just a head?" Wang Kai didn't know what Annie was doing, "What about Xiaomei's corpse?" ”
"Xiaomei's body can't be buried in the community." Anne said.
"Why?"
"If Xiaomei's body is found in the community, then it will be impossible to find her to blame. Xiaomei's body must be buried in a place where no one can find it. That's why, I'll let you borrow a car. Anne said.
"Where is it buried?"
"Go in the direction of your hometown, the farther the better, the more remote the better." Anne said.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't need to know. You know it's fine. Don't tell me either. Anne said.
"What do you mean?"
"When you feel like you've driven far enough, and it's remote, uninhabited. You think, that place is okay, and besides, it won't be discovered. Then you bury her there. ”
"Aren't you going with me?" Wang Kai asked.
"Nope." Anne said, "Don't tell me where the body is when it's buried." ”
"Why?"
"If both of us know where the body is buried, then if one day, if it is really found by the police, we are likely to be unable to parry and confess. So, I don't know better. No matter what method they used, they couldn't have gotten out of my mouth where the body was buried, because I really didn't know. ”
Wang Kai thought for a moment and said, "In this case, it is possible that the police will come out of my mouth?" ”
"So, don't tell me, it's better that way. You always have to remember that this place is only known to you. As long as you don't say it, no one will know. Either way, they won't be able to trap you. Anne said.
Wang Kai thought for a while, and didn't know whether Anne's method was good or bad.
"So, I'm driving alone to bury the body?" Wang Kai asked.
"Yes. I'll stay here after you get out. In the middle of the night, dress up as Xiaomei and walk out of the community. Anne said.
"Then I'll go now!" Wang Kai said, "It's not too early. ”
"There's no hurry." "For the next hour, you can't leave, we have to be here, we clean up together." ”
Wang Kai barely believed his ears. "Cleaning?"
"That's right." "In the afternoon, we spent about an hour here, and then we went out with two pots of flowers. However, if you just come to move flowers, it won't take so long. So, we have to find a good reason to explain what we've been doing for the hour. I thought about it, and the only valid reason was that we cleaned the place. ”
"Aren't you going to stay? You can clean alone! Wang Kai said.
"No, I can't. This has to be done by the two of us. Only things that have really been done together will be flawless when asked by the police. Anne said.
"Okay, do what you say!" Wang Kai said.
"Now, you help me first, let's carry the body into the freezer and put it away." Anne said, "I've just packed the fridge. ”
Just as Wang Kai was about to move the corpse, Anne suddenly said loudly, "Wait a minute! ”
"What for?" Wang Kai was startled by Annie's sudden voice.
"The most important thing hasn't been done yet."
"What's the most important thing?"
"We have to dispose of the bodies and put them in the freezer." Anne said.
"Clean? How to deal with it? ”
Anne turned around, went to her bag, and pulled out two pairs of gloves. One was given to Wang Kai, and the other was put on his hand, saying, "When she was struggling just now, it was very likely that she caught us." We need to clean her fingernails thoroughly so that there is not a trace of us left on her body. Then, use her fingernails to scratch a scar on Xiaomei's body. ”
As she spoke, Anne began to put water in the water and carefully washed the girl's hands.
When Wang Kai saw the corpse, he couldn't do anything, so he could only stay by and watch.
Anne then began to take off the girl's clothes.
"What are you doing?" Seeing this, Wang Kai quickly glanced to the side.
"I'm going to take her clothes off. Then put her naked in the freezer. Anne said.
"Why naked?"
"It's easy to identify yourself when you're wearing clothes. Moreover, the words of nudity are more indicative of the hatred between women. Possibly, they are rivals in love! Didn't you see so many original matches catching juniors, all of them stripped off other people's clothes? Anne assumed.
Although Wang Kai didn't know what Anne was thinking in her head, he didn't know how to object, so he could only let Anne do it.
After a while, Anne said, "All right." Now, we're going to carry her to the fridge. ”
So, together, the two put the headless, cleanly washed female corpse into the refrigerator.
"Now, let's go and clean up Xiaomei's body." Anne said.
The two came to Xiaomei. At this time, Xiaomei was still lying on the bed.
Just when Wang Kai stretched out his hand and was about to turn Xiaomei's body over, he seemed to suddenly feel that Xiaomei's appearance was a little different from before.
"Have you touched her?" Wang Kai asked Anne.
Anne didn't know what Wang Kai was going to say, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I don't think she looks a little different than before." Wang Kai said.
"It's no different!" Anne looked at it and said.
"No, she didn't seem to be in this position before!" Wang Kai always felt that there was something wrong.
"It's this posture, you look dazzled!" Anne paused and said, "Maybe just now, I was going to take care of the quilt, maybe I accidentally touched her." However, she has always been lying like this. Okay, don't talk about it, let's get her down! With that, Anne turned Xiaomei's body over at once.
At this time, Xiaomei's clothes were already stained with a large area of blood. There were also large patches of blood on the sheets and pillows.
"Like just now, we're going to have to take off her clothes, rinse her whole body, clean it up." Anne said.
The two carried the body to the bathroom.
It was also Anne cleaning up the corpse, and Wang Kai was watching from the side.
In a few moments, Anne cleaned up the body.
"What about Xiaomei's corpse? Wang Kai asked.
"What to do? Pull it out and bury it! Anne said.
"I mean, where? It's impossible, just hug the car! Wang Kai said.
"You don't have to worry about this, I've been ready for a long time." Anne said.
With that, Anne went into the house and took out a large woven bag of luggage.
"Where did it come from?" Wang Kai asked.
"Xiaomei's balcony. It must have been used when she moved. Anne said.
"How do you know she has a woven bag on her balcony?" Wang Kai asked.
"I saw it in the afternoon when I was picking up my clothes. Originally, I wanted to buy a new woven bag to hold it, but I didn't buy it because she had it here. It's also a hassle-free. Anne said, "Come and help, put the body in first." ”
Together, the two put Xiaomei's body into a woven bag.
Then, the two began to clean up their bed.
"There is so much blood on this bed, what should I do?" Wang Kai asked.
"Take all these sheets and pillows, remove them all, and then take them out and throw them away. Put on her clean bedding again. I checked her closet and it was clean. Let's just take it out and spread it out. Anne looked extremely calm.
With that, Anne began to clean up her things on the bed.
She moved as quickly as if nothing had happened, and soon she was making the bed neatly.
"The next thing, we're going to do it together." Anne said.
"What's the matter?"
"Cleaning." Anne said, "Clean all the places here, and wipe everything you can see with a rag." In doing so, we are given a reasonable excuse and we are cleaned up of all our fingerprints and footprints. In short, in this room, there is not a trace of us. ”
Then, the two of them began to clean up. They cleaned every room, including the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. Wipe everything they can see, everything they touch, with a rag. Make sure there is no trace of them in the house.
Anne looked at the time, and the cleaning time was almost an hour or so.
Anne looked at Wang Kai and said, "If one day, the police really find us and ask about us, just say that we clean the kitchen, bathroom, living room, and our room." Don't mention Xiaomei. ”
"I know. It's just according to the usual cleaning habits! ”
"That's right. Also, don't reveal that we want to clean up the traces, just plain mopping, just wipe it. ”
"yes, got it." Wang Kai said, "Now, can I go?" ”
Anne thought for a moment and said, "You take the woven bag down, and the bag, which contains their clothes and sheets and covers." Remember, bury the two bags in different places. I'll stay and see if there's anything else to overlook, and I'll go out in disguise as Xiaomei later. ”
"That'...... What about the head? Wang Kai asked.
"You don't have to worry about that. I'll take it down and bury it myself. Anne said.
"Are you okay?" Wang Kai asked.
"No problem." Anne said.
After saying that, Anne seemed to remember something again, and she ran to Xiaomei's balcony again and took out a small shovel for planting flowers.
"Take it, you can use it." Anne handed the shovel to Wang Kai.
"This one, it's too small!" Wang Kai said.
"Take it first, use it if you can, and forget it if you don't use it." Anne said.
"Then I took it, what will you do later?" Wang Kai asked.
"There's another one there." Anne gestured to the balcony. There is indeed a shovel there.
"Okay!" After speaking, Wang Kai put the shovel into the woven bag together.
"Hmm. Go ahead, be careful on the road. Nothing particularly significant, try not to contact. When that was done, we went to the underpass where we had separated. I'm the same, I'll go there when it's done. We meet there. Anne said.
"Why don't you get in touch?"
"Have you forgotten? We should be staying together in the hotel now. Is it necessary for us to be in touch? Anne asked.
Wang Kai thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll go." ”
After speaking, Wang Kai glanced at the woven bag and carried it downstairs.
After Wang Kai left, Anne also carried the head that had been put into a bag, and prepared to go downstairs to the deserted garden behind the house.
She knew there was a wall blocking the passage, and she had brought a small bench with her. And he took a long rope and tied one end of the rope to his body, and the other end to the bench.
Anne came to the wall. She gently placed the bench on the ground, then stood on it, her hands on it, and then jumped up with all her might, and as soon as her legs were raised, Anne rode on top of the wall.
She pulled the bench up with the rope on her body. Then, following the rope, he lowered the bench from the other side.
Then, with a slight jump, she landed firmly on the ground.
She went to the little deserted garden, looking for a suitable spot.
She saw an iron tree, and the leaves of the iron tree were luxuriant and spread out. She decided to bury it underneath the Iron Tree.
She looked at it, and there were still two worn-out shovels in the corner.
She looked again at the small shovel she had brought out of the house. In order to save time, she did not hesitate to pick up the large shovel next to her.
She moved quickly, and soon, she dug a pit under the iron tree.
She picked up the bag with the skull in it. Without the slightest hesitation, he buried it cleanly and covered the surface with a thick layer of earth.
She looked at it, and the dirt on the surface was so fresh that it looked particularly conspicuous. She shoveled some weeds beside her, covering the fresh soil with mud.
She looked at it again and felt much better than before.
After carefully doing all this, Anne quickly returned to the rental house.
Anne starts to put on makeup, she finds the clothes and short skirts that Xiaomei usually wears, puts on a wig, and dresses herself up as Xiaomei.
Next, Anne began to clean up the scene again.
She put her gloves back on, picked up the rag, and wiped down the room inside and out. I wiped everything in the living room and kitchen again. Then, all the ground was mopped. She had to make sure that there were no fingerprints or footprints or other traces of them in the house.
Anne looked around the house and felt that there was no problem anymore. She took off her gloves and rearranged her clothes. He let out a long sigh.
She came to the door, ready to change her shoes and leave.
Just as she bent down to get her shoes, she didn't forget to glance at Xiaomei's room. Because, the door of Xiaomei's room is facing the shoe rack at the door of the living room.
At this glance, her gaze suddenly fell on the row of nails on the wall.
A row of nails lined up neatly. However, the nail on the very edge was missing, leaving only a small hole in the wall.
Anne remembered that it was from this place that Xiaomei had fallen.
It dawned on her. Before, they had always thought that Xiaomei was bleeding because she hit her head against the wall. Now, she understood. Xiaomei is because her head hit the nail.
However, when they were cleaning just now, they didn't see the nails that fell on the ground. Anne suddenly understood that the nail should still be in Xiaomei's head now.
Anne took out her mobile phone and prepared to call Wang Kai and ask him to take out the nails. However, she thought about it and put her phone back away.
It is not appropriate to call Wang Kai at this time. What's more, as long as Wang Kai buries the body, the nails will not matter, and no one will know anyway.
It's just that Anne looked at the small hole in the wall in front of her, thoughtful. She felt that the hole was too obvious here.
Somehow must be found to cover this hole! Don't let anyone find out that there's a nail missing here!
The best thing to do, she thought, was to put another nail into it. But now, where is she going to find nails?
She thought again, no! If it is a newly bought nail, it is easy to see if it is driven in. Isn't that not three hundred taels of silver in this place?
What can be done to be foolproof? Anne's head was racing.
At this point, she noticed the hook on the wall above the shoe rack for the keys.
She removed a hook and stuck it on the wall where the nail had fallen.
After the hook is glued on, it perfectly covers the small hole from before.
Anne sighed, and then reassured.
She changed her shoes and went out.
(b)
Anne arrived at the meeting place that the two had agreed upon.
It is an overpass. There are almost no people under the bridge, except for the occasional passing car.
Obviously, Wang Kai has not returned. This was expected by Anne.
It was late at night, and the city had begun to sleep.
But at this time, Anne did not have a trace of sleep.
The night wind in winter has a kind of coldness that invades the bottom of my heart. This kind of cold makes people extremely sober.
The scenes that happened today flashed in her mind like a movie.
She began to feel scared and guilty. She didn't dare to close her eyes, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she would remember Xiaomei's appearance.
She remembered that when she pressed on Xiaomei's body and covered her mouth and nose, Xiaomei's eyes widened. Those eyes were crying, pleading, begging the person in front of them to let go of their hands and give her a breath of air.
There was a look in his eyes full of supplication, horror and despair.
However, Anne did not let go of the hand covering her mouth and nose.
She didn't tell Wang Kai that Xiaomei had woken up.
It is even more impossible to tell Wang Kai that he killed Xiaomei with his own hands.
Thinking of this, Anne suddenly wondered if she was crazy. She couldn't imagine that she could do it.
Who is to blame? Anne asked herself over and over again in her heart, comforting herself over and over again. If you want to blame her, blame herself! If she hadn't been unconscious, we wouldn't have thought she was dead, and we wouldn't have killed the girl who came down to get her clothes. If it weren't for Xiaomei waking up and seeing the girl who was killed, she wouldn't have killed her. So, if you want to blame, blame herself.
But why did he kill two living people? Those are two living beings!
Anne began to grow frightened of her own coldness and ruthlessness.
At this time, her heart was like a knife, and an unspeakable pain enveloped her. At this time, she felt that what she had done was outrageous!
What to do? Anne looked at the dark and cold sky and began to weep.
She wanted to shout hoarsely, but she didn't dare. She didn't even dare to cry out loud because she was afraid, afraid of attracting the attention of others.
Now everything is irretrievable.
Anne knew that by now, it was too late. If you are wrong, you can only keep being wrong.
She slapped herself hard. This slap is a slap in the face of disappointment in oneself and a slap in the hearts of indifferent people.
She didn't know how to face the returning Wang Kai. Wang Kai looked at her expression before, as if he had seen a monster, full of fear. She knew that everything she had done scared him.
Anne buried her head and waited alone in this silent and cold winter night.
I don't know how long it took, but a cry woke her from her musings.
"Let's go!" I don't know when, Wang Kai appeared in front of Anne.
Anne looked up at him and asked, "Is this done?" ”
"That's it." Wang Kai replied coldly.
"Did it go well?"
"It's fine."
"Oh."
Then, the two fell silent. After a while, Wang Kai said to Anne:
"Let's go!"
"I just thought of something again, and I thought I should tell you." Anne said to Wang Kai.
"What's the matter?"
"A few details. I thought about it for a moment, and we still have some areas to improve. In this way, it can be seamless. ”
"Say it!" Wang Kai also sat on the edge of the flower bed.
"Today's matter, we have basically dealt with it. When we went in and out of the community, we were all dressed up, so it shouldn't be a big problem. It's just that you have one more thing to do in order to clear your suspicion when the police find us in the future. Anne said.
"What's the matter?"
"Continue to go back to Mingyue Community to find Xiaomei." Anne looked at Wang Kai.
"Are you crazy? And let me go back to her? She's already ......," Wang Kai said at this point, and stopped.
"She's gone. However, you have to remember that you don't know about it. ”
"You're asking me to pretend I don't know that Mei is dead?"
"Yes. Only in this way can you dispel your suspicions. So, you also have to go back to the Mingyue community again to find her. And, go at least twice. With your previous relationship, you should go to her at least twice, and you won't see her twice, so that you will feel that maybe she really doesn't want to see you again. That way, you have a reason not to go in the future. ”
"Will the police believe it?"
"The police will look at the surveillance. They'll see you on surveillance looking for her. If they really guessed the time of the girl's death upstairs, and then contacted Xiaomei's disappearance, they would lock the suspicion on Xiaomei. And after you disappeared from Xiaomei, you went to find her twice, which means that you don't know about her disappearance, and this matter has nothing to do with you. ”
Wang Kai's mind was very confused, and he was surprised that Anne could still keep such a clear mind at this time.
"I'll just do whatever you say," Wang Kai said, "I'm not like you, I don't have such a sober mind." ”
Anne glanced at Wang Kai, and there was a strange expression in Wang Kai's eyes.
"Are you blaming me?" Anne asked.
"It's not."
"You are, your eyes have betrayed you. Do you think it's my responsibility to do all this? ”
"That's not what I meant."
"And what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting." Wang Kai paused, "Forget it after the matter is over, just do what you say!" ”
"You can do what I say, you can even turn yourself in." Anne looked at Wang Kai, "Anyway, I don't care anymore, I don't have anything to be nostalgic for in my life." I know you dislike me now, not to mention, I won't even be able to have children in the future. Say, "What hope do I have for my life?" Actually, for me, everything doesn't matter anymore. ”
"Don't say that, Annie. I didn't mean that. I'm to blame for it all. If it weren't for me, things wouldn't have happened to this point. ”
"I don't want to blame anyone anymore. Let's get by! As for the relationship between the two of us, I knew that a breakup was inevitable. It's just that, for the sake of the big picture, we can't break up now. At the very least, for now, we have to pretend that nothing happened, as before. ”
"Anne...... It's me who is sorry for you. I'll try to make it up to you. ”
"No, I know you can't. I see fear and fear in your eyes. You must be particularly disappointed in what I've done, right? You must think I'm like a madman. Being with someone like me will only make you feel scared, and you will only feel that I am an extremely cruel person. ”
"I won't. I'm going to try, try to forget about it. ”
"You can't forget. Don't push yourself anymore, I know what you're really thinking right now, which is to get as far away from me as possible. Because, I scared you. ”
"I don't have ......"
"There's no need to hide it. I can see it. Anne said, "So be it, let's go back!" ”
"Where to go?"
"Hotel. How to get out, how to go back. Go back and get some good sleep. Anne said.
At this time, Wang Kai, although he felt extremely tired, he was completely sleepy.
"What about the car?" Wang Kai asked Anne.
"When you borrowed the car, when did you say you would return the car?" Anne asked.
"I didn't say it. Ah Fang's husband happened to be on a business trip these days and didn't need a car. However, she still said that it was better to return it as soon as possible because her husband would not allow her to lend the car to others. Wang Kai said.
"Then drive straight to the hotel. After checking out the day after tomorrow, you return the car. ”
"So, is it appropriate? Otherwise, return it as soon as possible, I'm a little flustered. ”
"What was the reason you said when you borrowed the car?"
"That's the reason you told me, saying that my mother is sick, and I'm in a hurry to go back to my hometown."
"That's right, how can you go back tonight and come back tomorrow? Let's pay it back the day after tomorrow, it still makes sense. ”
"Alright then!"
The two got into the car. Drive in the direction of the hotel.
No one spoke, and the car was very quiet. A car flashes past the dashcam's video screen.
Anne looked at the dash cam and suddenly thought of something.
She reached out and fumbled on the dashcam.
"What are you doing?" Wang Kai asked.
"I took out the dashcam's memory card, just in case. In case one day, the police find this car, the contents of the dash cam, we can't say clearly. So, this memory card must be destroyed. When you return the car, put a new memory card in it. Anne said.
With that, Anne took out the memory card.
She put the memory card in her palm and looked at it. He turned his head and glanced at Wang Kai again.
Then, she pulled out the keychain in her bag. The keychain has a small pair of folded scissors on it. She unfolded her scissors, shredded the memory card, and threw them out the window.
The small pieces scattered quickly disappeared with the wind.
"Why did you cut it?" Wang Kai asked.
"If you don't cut it, do you keep it as evidence?" Anne said.
"Forget it, if it's destroyed, it's destroyed, and if it's destroyed, no one will know where my body is buried." Wang Kai said.
"So, only you know. No one can fool you, including me. Anne said, glancing at Wang Kai, "Don't trust anyone. ”
"What do you mean? Just don't admit it no matter what, do you? ”
"Yes. You have to remember that this is none of your business. You don't know anything. We just went back and moved two pots of flowers and cleaned them up. Anne said.
"Got it. You've already said it. Wang Kai said.
"But there's one thing you have to admit." Anne said again.
"What's the matter?"
"Your affair with Xiaomei."
"What about me and Xiaomei? You want me to admit it? ”
"I mean, if the police find out where you're in and out of the neighborhood. And I've moved, there's no reason for you to go back. The only reason is that you are looking for Xiaomei. ”
"But, how do you want me to admit this relationship between me and Xiaomei?"
"Just say you're lovers. It's just an ordinary lover. Needless to say, nothing else. ”
"Willingly...... The kind of one? Wang Kai stuttered a little.
"Lovers, of course, willingly. This is your and Xiaomei's secret. Do you understand? ”
"Got it. Let's just say I'm hiding it from you, right? ”
"Is there any man who is looking for a mistress outside, do you still want to tell the original partner?"
"Alright, I got it." Wang Kai's tone was a little unhappy.
Anyway, that's what it means. It's good that you understand it yourself. Anne said.
The two fell silent again. The car was silent again.
After a while, Anne spoke again: "Wait, we can't go back to the hotel yet." ”
Wang Kai subconsciously stepped on the brakes and asked, "Why?" ”
Anne looked at her watch and said, "At this time, it's too late to say it's night." It's morning, but it's too early. If we go back at this time, it will be easy to attract attention. Also, it is best not to park your car in the hotel parking lot. ”
"So what do we do now? Where to go? Wang Kai asked.
Anne thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the river!" ”
"By the river?"
"That's right. When we first started dating, we used to go for a walk along the river. Let's go there! Anne said.
Wang Kai thought for a moment, right now, if they don't go to the hotel, they really have nowhere to go.
"Okay!" He turned around and headed for the river.
In the early hours of the morning, there was no one by the river, and there were almost no passing vehicles.
Wang Kai found a secluded place and parked the car.
"Shall you go down for a walk?" Anne asked.
She looked across the river, where the lights of the skyscrapers were particularly dazzling at night.
The street lamps along the river shine on the calm surface of the river, which has a unique flavor.
Wang Kai forgot to glance out the window, the night scene here is indeed beautiful.
However, at this moment, he was already exhausted, and he was no longer in the mood to enjoy this beautiful scenery. At this time, he just wanted to close his eyes quietly.
"No, I won't. Take a break! Wang Kai said.
With that, he flattened the seat of the car and lay down.
The moment he closed his eyes, his mind went blank.
There were so many things that happened today that he almost lost sight of them.
He struggled to remember, his brain looking tired again. He wanted to keep a clear head, but he was getting more and more confused.
Anne looked at Wang Kai lying down, her face full of tiredness. She didn't call him again.
She also lowered her chair and lay down.
Anne's heart was also in turmoil.
At this time, the two of them were full of complicated feelings.
In this way, everyone did not speak, and stayed up until dawn with their own thoughts......
