Chapter 474: 'Hide and Seek'
Half a month later, the third detachment unlocked the form, which helped the anti-narcotics team crack a number of drug trading places, and the case in S City has not been followed up since.
In the old teaching building of the school, Li Yifan, the two people in the dormitory, and Sisi, are preparing for the competition in half a month in Lao Tan's studio.
"Yifan, I think you are the first prize this time." Sisi looked at the painting in front of Li Yifan, which was a large-scale oil painting of urban mechanism, using a spatula to make large color blocks, dazzling pigments and black and gray backgrounds, forming a very contrasting city.
"What's the matter, I think Wu Shuai's set of pictures is better this time." Li Yifan said, looking at Wu Shuai, who was rarely quiet in painting, although he was still on the live broadcast, after picking up the brush, the whole person was full of calmness.
"Why don't you help me look at my one, I always feel that it can be improved." Sisi pointed to his oil painting behind him and said.
"Ah, me? You better let Lao Tan advise you, I think you drew very well. Li Yifan really felt that he was not yet able to give advice.
"Sisi, Lao Tan seems to be looking for something with you just now." Just when Li Yifan didn't know what to do in the face of Sisi's fiery eyes next to him, Zhang Rui next to him suddenly appeared.
"Didn't you say anything?" Sisi didn't hesitate, and walked out with Zhang Rui, but Zhang Rui suddenly stopped when he walked to the corridor.
"You're not going to like Yifan, are you?" Zhang Rui suddenly turned around and asked Sisi straight to the point.
“…… Why, haha. Si Si laughed twice and said negatively.
"That's good, you must have seen it in Changshui Town before, Li Yifan, this kid has always been very interested in Zhao Xin'er's girl, although the two have no clear relationship, but in our opinion, they are a couple." Zhang Rui said earnestly.
"Didn't she leave?" Sisi suddenly lowered her head and said with some loss.
"Yes, he left, but he didn't leave Li Yifan's heart, and we were all helping him find her...... I just say this in the hope that you control your emotions and don't end up hurting only yourself. Zhang Rui looked at Sisi, he knew Li Yifan's character very well, as well as his feelings for Zhao Xin'er, and he didn't want Sisi to be hurt emotionally.
"It's that you're thinking too much, how can I have those thoughts." Sisi reverted to a paralyzed face, speaking without any emotion, as if she had lost interest in everything in this world again. "I'll go back if it's okay."
Zhang Rui really doesn't want to watch everyone not even be friends in the end.
"Buzz~" Li Yifan's hand holding the scraper stopped, put down the scraper, and looked at the phone in his hand, he hesitated to answer.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Rui, who had just walked in, looked at Li Yifan, saw the name on the phone, and asked puzzled. "Why don't you pick it up, speaking of which, you don't seem to have gone to Bai Ran's place this month."
“…… Kindness. Li Yifan answered, and finally shook his head and put the phone next to him, letting it ring vigorously until the phone hung up, and continued to pick up the scraper and start painting.
Zhang Rui didn't ask any more, Li Yifan's complexion has been really bad recently, it's like he can't wake up every day, this morning Wu Shuai also laughed at him for being a thief in the middle of the night, why did he sleep until noon every day and woke up, and he looked tired, and the dark circles under his eyes were about to catch up with the panda.
"Hum~" The phone rang again, Li Yifan looked at it, this time it was a message sent by Jiang Dong, because of the cracking of the secret form, Jiang Dong returned to the police station, but it didn't seem to have resumed his original position, the specific situation Li Yifan didn't know, in short, Jiang Dong has been quite idle recently.
Therefore, Li Yifan would send the content of the strange dreams he had been doing for half a month to Jiang Dong every once in a while, but the result was the same every time.
"We didn't find the place you said, we didn't find the girl named Keith, and you're sure you saw a lot of girls being held in captivity, but we haven't received any reports of missing girls similar to what you described."
Li Yifan looked at the text messages on his mobile phone, it was still the same as before, in fact, Li Yifan himself was strange, the dreams he had in the past few days really made him tired.
All dreams are 'hide and seek' in a very large house, and it can be said that sometimes dreams of a skinny girl, sometimes of two or three emaciated girls, who hide in fear in a room, and listen to the distant rattle that frightens them like a nightmare.
Bell Bell ~ Keys ~ Bell Bell ~ Keys ~
Two bells, a name, Li Yifan didn't know which girl's name this Keith was, so he listened to a woman in the distance shaking the bell in her hand, shouting into the room in a high voice, and the two people around him approached the rooms one by one, looking around...... Looking for the girls who are playing hide and seek.
In the dormitory, Li Yifan looked at his computer, and unconsciously drew the layout of the room by him, this scene has appeared in his dreams too many times recently, so that he doesn't know when it was completely drawn.
Looking at the picture, the three backlit figures standing at the door, especially the tall black figure, he can't forget, whether it is in so many dreams or in reality, every time he sees this man in black appear, he can't help but get goosebumps, thinking of the pictures before Fang Chuang's death, as well as the withered fingers and sharp black nails of the man in black.
"Why are those girls there?" Li Yifan drew a circle on the room on the computer screen with a pen, and although the picture was only flashed in a dream at the time, he kept remembering it.
In that dark night, Li Yifan opened his eyes and looked at the girl lying on the hospital bed next to him, with a dark red liquid bottle hanging on the top of his head, and his wife's hand, a pair of thin and white hands in front of his eyes, moved, there was a tingling pain at the joints of his arms, and when he turned his head, he saw that the blood vessels of the two arms had already been bruised, and a retention tube was left there.
He was about to get out of bed, but suddenly a woman in a maid's uniform appeared next to him, supported her, led her to a table, brought the pot to him, and ordered her to stand there, watching her drink two bowls in a row, and then send her back to her room to rest.
And the room where he rested was more like a horrible cage, in which lived seven or eight girls, each skinny and skinny, each nested in his own bed, some with numb eyes, some staring at the door in fear, and every sound of the door opening made them nervous.
