The flames scattered and twisted, devouring confetti and clothing with teeth and claws. After a long time, it turned into fly ashes. The man slowly breathed a sigh of relief as he watched as the embers were carried by the current and swirled into a whirlpool and disappeared in front of his eyes.

He returned to the living room and looked at the man in the corner who was handcuffed, full of doubts.

The corners of the hairy mouth, the casual demeanor, coupled with the other party's calm and clear thinking in this situation, although Chen Xiao didn't say who he was, the man had already regarded him as a perverted murderer often mentioned in the news in his heart.

"Hey...... I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck. The man thought about it, and threw another glass of milk to the other party: "Anyway, he really seems to be helping me." ”

Indeed, if there was no Chen Xiao, the man would definitely still be trembling on the bed at this moment, the smell of blood in the room, even if he could think of the method of burning the clothes, there would be a miasma of smoke nine times out of ten, and then because he didn't burn it clean and blocked the sewer, he could only wait for himself to be discovered.

He's just a gangster, grumpy, not enterprising, if it weren't for the fact that life couldn't go on, he wouldn't even be able to do the job of a convenience store odd job, fighting, gambling, full of dirty thoughts, usually mingling with a group of street boys, three months ago, his girlfriend finally couldn't stand it anymore and left him.

Yes, this is a scum at the bottom of society, not a good person, not even a bad person, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, nothing can be accomplished, all the ferocity is pretended on the surface, when a person dies in front of himself, he is extremely frightened, recalling the appearance of blood flowing out of the corpse, he can't help but tremble all over his body.

......

"I'm glad I ran into this guy." The man thought again, and sat down on the edge of the bed, letting himself slowly calm down.

At this moment, Chen Xiao sipped milk, humming an ugly tune in his nose.

"Thank you," the man said.

Chen Xiao drank a bottle, and then sighed and burped by the way.

"Now the bloodstained clothes are burned, and there are no monitors near this place, if you don't have any contact with the deceased, be careful and you shouldn't be suspected, after all, you haven't touched her. So...... Can you let me go? He asked, glaring at the dead fish.

The man frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook his head.

Chen Xiao glanced at him with disgust: "Hey, it seems that you are only worthy of being a low-level stalker." Then he shook the handcuffs on his wrists: "Ah, it's not too low-level, after all, there are even handcuffs." ”

After hearing this, the man rushed up with another wave of anger.

Of course, in the face of Chen Xiao, he still tried hard to press back, after all, this disgusting-looking guy helped him.

"What's next?" He still said viciously, but his tone was much more polite than before.

Chen Xiao shrugged his shoulders: "Listening to the movement on the road, so close, if someone finds the body, or a police car comes, you should be able to detect it." Let's talk about it later. ”

As he was talking, Chen Xiao suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something.

The man was keenly aware of the other party's expression.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

Chen Xiao thought thoughtfully for a while: "It's nothing, it's just a little inconsequential doubt." ”

At this juncture, this sentence undoubtedly makes the other party more concerned. So the man yelled fiercely: "Hurry up." ”

Chen Xiao continued to frown: "You said just now that the woman was holding a knife and fell backwards, right?" ”

The man thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively.

"But...... She fell on her stomach face down...... This is very strange, because when you go backwards, you should usually lie down and fall. ”

Chen Xiao said, suddenly raised his head, and looked directly at the other party.

The man was stunned for a moment by Chen Xiao's glance, he thought about it for a while, and seemed to feel that something was wrong, the woman fell at that time, as if she was deliberately going to lie forward.

"And if it was a head-on fall, she would have had enough time to throw the knife away, and even if she didn't, it wouldn't stick it in herself." Chen Xiao said again.

The man's brow furrowed even deeper.

"So what?" He asked, confused.

"No, maybe it's just such a coincidence...... Is she deliberately trying to turn you into a murderer? ”

Chen Xiao muttered boredly, and then leaned against the wall: "Let me go tomorrow morning, otherwise someone will find out if I disappear, oh, by the way, you have to go to work normally tomorrow, you can't be late, otherwise a woman dies tonight, you will ask for leave or go directly the next day, you will be listed as a suspect at first, the TV is silent, pay attention to the news report, although it is so late, but your ears still have to listen outside, don't be lazy, wake me up quickly if there is any movement." Prepare some coffee, wash your face a few times, and don't get sleepy and dizzy when you work tomorrow, otherwise someone will find out more or less a little bit of a horse's feet. Tomorrow the police will routinely check the neighborhood, but after that, you'll be mostly safe. ”

After speaking, Chen Xiao leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

......

...... in the room The man sat alone on the edge of the bed, still thinking carefully about the woman's appearance when she fell, indeed, she seemed to be deliberately going forward, why didn't she throw the knife away? Did you intentionally stick a knife into yourself? Or is it for something else?

"Maybe it's just a coincidence...... Is she still deliberately trying to turn you into a murderer? Chen Xiao's casual words appeared in the man's head.

"Does she want me to be a murderer?" The man thought.

......

The night breeze outside the window blew into the house, and occasionally a few cars drove by.

......

Why......?

......

The images on the TV were silently reflected on the man's face, his bloodshot eyes staring at the screen, his brain already like a sticky paste.

......

All night, he kept thinking about it.

......

Is it because of ......?

......

I don't know how long it was, the man was actually very sleepy, but he didn't sleep, how could a person who had just killed someone sleep.

"Did the woman fall on her own? But why did she fall? Turn me into a murderer? How can it be? ...... Is it really because of that, no one could have seen it at the time? ”

......

Perhaps, someone really saw it.

Is she coming to take revenge on me now? Then why didn't she just kill me?

Well! Because she knew she couldn't beat me, even if she had a knife in her hand, she couldn't kill me.

So, she's going to turn me into a murderer.

She deliberately opened the door and let me in, even if I didn't touch her, but she was dead, and I would definitely be sentenced.

If that's really the case...... It seems to make sense.

I must not be doubted!

The man was just thinking nonsense, of course, he was just thinking nonsense.

Suddenly, in the silence, he seemed to hear something strange.

"Bang la, yes, if there is none".

His mind was now a mess eroded by tense nerves and sleepiness.

"Blablablah"

The sound sounded again, in the darkest and quietest time of the morning.

The man inexplicably felt a hint of fear.

So.

He hurriedly stepped forward and shook Chen Xiao.

"Hey! Wake up! ”

......
