Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Conversation in the Grocery Store
outdoors
When Yan Muheng returned to Xixi's side, he saw Mei Xiaoxiao who was with her at a glance, at this time, he didn't know if he could call her by her real name in front of Xixi, because he shouldn't know most of the things in the house.
"Xiaomei, why are you here?" Yan Muheng asked.
Mei Xiaoxiao asked him with a questioning tone: "Where have you been, do you know how dangerous it is to leave Xixi alone, she has already been attacked once!" Besides, it's not safe for you to go out alone, what if the murderer sees it?! ”
"I didn't go far, I just went to the ruins to find the entrance to the basement, I hope I can help you! I asked the proprietress here to accompany Sissi in the evening, I don't believe you asked her. Yan Muheng pointed at Xixi with his hand, there were indeed some small scratches on those hands, and the sleeves of the down jacket were still stained with dust from the ruins, which seemed to confirm that the man was not lying.
The little tone did not ease at all, and said: "When I came out, the grocery store owner and his wife were not in the store, it was Sissy who opened the door for me, and you saw the appearance of the little girl yourself, because she was afraid, she has been sitting at the door of the house waiting for you." ”
"The whole person was as cold as a popsicle, and when I asked her where the boss and his wife were, she couldn't tell me." When he was talking, he kept rubbing his red little hands for Xixi.
"Sissy, you can't turn on the air conditioner!" Yan Muheng is really anxious about this little girl's IQ, no matter how scared she is, she can't freeze at the door anymore! "Also, didn't the boss and his wife say that they would take care of it here? Where did it go all at once? ”
Seeing Yan Muheng yelling and asking himself, Xixi flattened his mouth, looking very aggrieved, and didn't say half a word for a long time, Yun Yeyao instantly felt that he might as well go directly to find Xixi if he asked him! On a day like this, do grocery store owners and couples still run around?
Just as the man was about to continue to ask about the small one, suddenly the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and when he connected it, he heard the voice of the grocery store owner.
Mei Xiaoxiao waited for him to answer the phone before asking, "Who is it?" ”
"It's the grocery store owner and his wife, they said that they were scared when they heard about the situation in the strange house, so they hid out, and said they were very sorry and couldn't help anymore."
"Now that the snow is so heavy, they can't go down the mountain, where can they hide?" It's very strange, the boss couple is really half-hearted, but Xixi is not good, why should he tell the irrelevant boss couple about the murder that happened in the treacherous house?
Mei Xiaoxiao turned his head and asked Xixi: "Why did you tell the boss and his wife about the murder?" ”
"I, I didn't mean to, because the proprietress kept staring at me and inquiring, and promised not to say anything, so I told them about it, but...... After hearing that my aunt was dead and Aunt Wen was missing, they suddenly became very scared, and they said that they would take their luggage out to hide, no matter what I said, it was useless. ”
"Who is Aunt Wen?" Xiao asked.
Yan Muheng replied: "It's the restaurant proprietor, her surname is Wen, I told Xixi before." Forget it, the boss and his wife are fine, we can't control people's actions, maybe they go to other restaurants to spend the night! ”
Yan Muheng's words did not immediately get a little approval, she still felt that the boss and his wife went out in this kind of ice and snow, in case there was no place to live on the mountain, they would be very dangerous.
"They shouldn't have been walking for long, or I'll go to the front of the mountain road to look for it, maybe I can see people and say it's not necessarily."
"It's not dawn yet, how can I find it? They told me before that they have a good relationship with the people here, and I think that the people who have been living on this mountain will not be aware of the danger caused by the heavy snow, and since they have chosen to leave, they should not want us to find their traces, there is no need to dwell on them, since they can call, I think they are already in a safe place. ”
Yan Muheng's words are not unreasonable, they don't have time to be distracted to take care of more things now, since the grocery store owner and his wife are not missing for no reason, and they have nothing to do with the case, then let them stay in a place where they think they are safe.
As for Xixi, Yan Muheng felt that there would be no problem with himself and Xiaoxiao. He didn't maintain such a fear of a small force value like everyone else, but faced the policewoman with an indifferent look, even if the policewoman questioned it, he was not afraid.
Many years ago, when Yan Muheng, who was still a child, saw the corpse in the blue 'prison cell', he no longer knew what he was afraid of.
Carefully closing the door of the grocery store, Yan Muheng continued: "The boss and his wife are both kind people, although they left, they gave their home to Xizang, which shows that they fully trust us. ”
"It's full trust in the criminal police!" Slightly corrected him.
Yan Muheng was also noncommittal, walking around looking for the switch of the air conditioner, after a while, the room gradually warmed up, he took off his down jacket full of snow, sat on the edge of Xixi, hugged the little girl into his generous arms and said, "Xixi, it's okay, it will be warm in a while." ”
The man's gaze did not look at Mei Xiaoxiao, but Mei Xiaoxiao's eyes kept staring at the man who was still using Yan Muheng's name.
The policewoman was observing, observing the flaws he might have exposed, but she found nothing, this man's acting skills were so good, he didn't say anything at all just now.
We know that it is impossible for Mei Xiaoxiao and Xie Yunmeng to trust the man in front of them anymore, from the moment he returned to the inside of the brown tower with Shu Xue, there was already a suspicion of a murderer or accomplice, if he hadn't run around with Shu Xue, it was possible that the murderer would not have discovered Shu Xue's existence so early.
Also, what did he do to Yun Yeyao? This is also where Mei Xiaoxiao is confused, Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng's relationship, Mei Xiaoxiao is not aware of it at all, and she doesn't think there is anything to criticize the two of them, after all, who can say clearly about the relationship.
What's more, the policewoman herself also has the same confidant and friend-Zuo Lan, she can completely imagine the relationship between Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao as the same as Zuo Lan. However, to be able to make Xie Yunmeng so angry, what this man did to Yun Yeyao was by no means as simple as a small mechanical attack.
'If I knew that someone in the house almost wanted to break his bones just now, I guess he wouldn't be able to disguise it so casually, I must know what he did to Yun Yeyao!' ’
Secretly made up his mind, Mei Xiaoxiao said: "That's it, let's not be here either, if Xixi can act, it is best to meet with the survivors in the house, it will be safer." Now the situation in the house has changed a lot. ”
"There are fewer and fewer people to trust, we need manpower, you better participate in the operation with Chokli, as long as the snow stops and the police on the periphery go up the mountain, you don't have to contribute anymore."
"Won't the helicopter come up?" Yan Muheng asked.
Mei Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I don't know, the snow is too big, and we can't receive the signal below on the mountain, so we can only wait." ”
Yan Muheng raised his head and puffed out his cheeks, and a pair of pupils flashed an uncertain look. It could be seen that he was helpless about this, and regretted going up the mountain a little, but he didn't go on on this topic.
After a while, he spoke, "Okay, let's go back to the treacherous house now, and you can arrange what you want me to do, and I will definitely cooperate with it." ”
Mei Xiaoxiao immediately said to Xixi, who was lying motionless in Yan Muheng's arms: "Xixi, we have to go back to the treacherous house to stay with everyone, don't be afraid, everyone will protect you." ”
I don't know if Xixi cares about the overall situation, or if she thinks that too many people are not too scary, anyway, the little girl responded very happily. It was a little unexpected, and she thought the little girl would tremble with fear.
Don't go further into these little things, Mei Xiao: "I know that there is a place that can directly lead to the inside of the house, we can't go through the door, we have to prevent the murderer from doing some tricks again, this time Xixi can't have an accident like Shu Xue again." ”
"Shu Xue had an accident?" Yan Muheng looked shocked, which made Mei Xiaoxiao admire his acting skills again.
But in fact, Yan Muheng's shock at the moment was not his acting skills, it was indeed he who took Shu Xue into the secret passage, but Shu Xue stayed in the house was her own will, although Yan Muheng did not agree with Shu Xue's approach, but Shu Xue was killed after a while, which had to make him feel a moment of surprise like a demon passing through his heart.
But he couldn't expose this mood in front of Mei Xiaoxiao, so Yan Muheng tried his best to control his expression and listen to Mei Xiaoxiao. Mei Xiaoxiao told how he was attacked by the chef, and then successfully countered and found the rock cave, from beginning to end, Yan Muheng did not show any abnormality, as if he never knew about the chef and the cave.
After the three of them finished communicating, Yan Muheng protected Xixi, Mei Xiaoxiao opened the way in front, and quickly left the grocery store owner's house, before leaving, Yan Muheng knew that it was impossible to come back, he carefully locked the door, and hung the spare key given to him by the boss on the lock, before picking up Xixi and keeping up with the pace of the policewoman.
Xixi's abdominal wound was very deep, and the little girl's physique was very poor, which was not suitable for continuous walking in bad weather, Yan Muheng could only wrap her in his down jacket like a child to add a little temperature to the little girl.
On the way forward, Yan Muheng has been readjusting his original plan in his heart, and knowing the existence of the rock cave means that Xie Yunmeng, Liu Qiaopu and Yun Yeyao may have already known, so his future actions will have to find a safer passage.
Now, the policewoman asks herself to cooperate with them, which proves that they still trust themselves, which is a good thing and a bad thing, and the good thing is that having trust can find the right reason for the action. The bad part is that it is not a little difficult to complete the work they have arranged without revealing flaws, but also to perfectly realize their plans.
'You can only act on the opportunity, look at the step by step, anyway, one of the Sissy or the horror of one, must be in your own line of sight, this can't be wrong. ’
Yan Muheng thought about it, full of grief and anger for Shu Xue's death, but even more unexpected things were still to come, because they were approaching another corpse, the chef who had just been let go by Yan Muheng and decided to return to the main house to explain everything.
