The night is slightly cool, and the starlight is like water.

In the dim corridor, Tao Xi looked at the door number, she had already reached the fifth floor, she secretly cheered herself, "Come on Tao Xi, you are the best, don't you just climb the twelfth floor, what's so difficult?" ”

Tao Xi hummed happily, climbed almost two more floors, her right hand was sore, she sighed helplessly, replaced the heavy bag in her right hand to her left hand, and continued to climb up.

This area is located in an old street in the center of the city, poor property management, the district environment is not good, what age is not even an elevator installed, every time you commute to work and climb the twelfth floor, when you encounter the situation of carrying rice and oil, even men can be tired and out of breath, let alone a girl.

No way, who makes renting a house here cheap, Tao Xi rubbed her shoulders, there is nothing to complain about, only blame her for not making good money, and she can't afford to take her sister to a beautiful big house, so she can only live in a dirty and messy area.

"My sister must be in a hurry at home, I have to go back early to cook for her so that she can sleep early."

Today, the company got off work early, Tao Xi finally didn't have to work overtime until twelve o'clock, not to mention how happy she was, the fruits and vegetables in the supermarket were fresh and cheap, and a lot of them added up to only more than 50 yuan, and she bought a bag of special rice, which was enough for her and her sister to eat a few.

Tao Xi also helped the old grandmother on the way home and helped her safely to the other side of the road.

"What sound?" Tao Xi's humming song came to an abrupt end, and there was a noise in the corridor ahead, accompanied by a loud closing of the door, and a sneaky man ran down.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Tao Xi has been moving to the district for two or three years, she has a lively personality, gets along well with her upstairs and downstairs neighbors, and will say hello every time she meets on the road.

But Tao Xi was extremely sure that she had never seen this sneaky-looking man once, and he didn't look like a guest here at all, and his expression was so flustered in the middle of the night that it was inevitable that people wondered if he had done something bad.

The man didn't seem to expect that he would be able to meet someone, so he ran downstairs in a panic after taking a look at Tao Xi, and didn't even notice that one of his shoes had run away.

Tao Xi saw the appearance of the man in just a few seconds, the square face of the Chinese character, which looked very ordinary, and there was a long scar on the left side of the face, which looked a little hideous, it should have been injured in the early years, with a dark scar, like a winding earthworm hovering on the face.

"Something is wrong, how did I smell a breath of blood when he passed by just now?" Different from the taste of pig blood and chicken blood, it is a rich fishy sweetness, like human blood.

"Not good." Tao Xi didn't care about the things she was carrying, threw them to the ground, and ran to the door of the seventh floor, as far as she knew, there was only one family living on the seventh floor, a very loving young couple, with a lovely daughter, who had just turned one year old.

On weekdays, when Tao Xi commutes to work, he can always see the couple pushing a stroller and walking comfortably in the district, and there is a cute golden retriever named Lucky, who follows the owner's house leisurely and leisurely, as their most loyal guard.

This is a simple and happy family, but Tao Xi stood in front of their door, only to feel a chill in his heart, the security door was not locked, the void was hidden, there was no light in the house, it was pitch black, like a giant beast that would only swallow it, waiting for the opportunity to wait for the prey.

Tao Xi slowly put her hand on the doorknob, took a deep breath, she pushed the door and walked in, the bloody breath came to her face, she almost wanted to gause, she had a bad association in her heart, as if what she saw next would make her unacceptable.

She did a lot of psychological construction for herself, and finally mustered up the courage to start treatment, "pop", the soft light illuminated the whole room, everything in front of her made her breath stagnate, and the whole person was dizzy a few times.

At the entrance lay the male owner of the house, he seemed to have just gotten off work, and before he could take off his coat, he fell heavily on Lin, his head was opened, his brain burst out, and he died with a blow.

Where had Tao Xi seen such a bloody scene, her eyes were blank, as if she was frightened, and her steps were a little stiff.

She boldly walked forward, the pink and white sofa cushions fell to the ground, the fresh lily vase shattered in front of a bedroom door, and there were some sporadic blood stains along the way, which stabbed people's hearts.

The bedroom door slowly opened, Tao Xi opened the treatment with trembling hands, and when she saw the scene on the bed, she retched uncontrollably, "vomiting ......"

Her eyes were filled with tears, the acid in her stomach was ready to vomit, and the house was full of messes, with a fruit knife stuck in her belly by a dog named Lucky, whose intestines were mixed with blood and flowed all over the ground, soaking through the white carpet.

There was a stroller next to the dog, the lovely girl had her eyes closed, her face was pale, and the pinching marks of a pair of big hands on her delicate neck were clearly visible, and she was actually strangled to death.

The hostess also collapsed on the big bed, her hands and feet were restrained, the blue and purple pinching marks were shocking, and her eyes were round and dead.

Tao Xi covered his mouth and cried bitterly, obviously they were fine this morning, in just one time, all the family died, who was so heartbroken.

She took out her phone from her bag and made a trembling call, "Hey, 110, I have a murder here." ”

The female voice on the other end of the phone gently comforted her, "Madam, don't worry, please ask where your current address is, and we will send someone to the police immediately." ”

Tao Xi was about to speak, a white shadow flashed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in front of her, and she clearly saw that there was an extra figure behind her, as if she was still carrying an axe in her hand, and she said in a difficult tone, "The murderer is coming." ”

Tao Xi turned her head in a panic and met a pair of cruel eyes, it was the sneaky person she had just seen in the corridor, and before she could come up with the address, the axe slashed at her, "poof", it was the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through flesh and blood.

The police officer on the other end of the phone hurriedly asked, "Hey, ma'am, are you okay?" Are there other people around you who are inconvenient to talk to? ”

The axe in the man's hand was still dripping with blood, and he hung up the antelope with a "snap", "I still want to call the police, see if I don't kill you!" ”

Then he walked away, laughing maniacally, and the laughter echoed in the hallway, eerie.

Tao Xi slowly closed her eyes, and at the last moment before she died, she left hot tears, "Sister, if Xi dies, who can take good care of you for me?" ”

Half an hour later, the clock went exactly to twelve o'clock, and with the sound of the clock "ticking", the dead body on the ground moved.

Shi Jing got up from the ground with difficulty, she covered her neck and exhaled in pain, "It hurts to death, my neck is about to break this time." ”
