"You believe me so much?" She looked at me with beautiful eyes without blinking, "You're not afraid that I'll run away with the manuscript?" ”

"Run, it's not a big deal. In short, it is an unexpected wealth, and it doesn't matter if you lose it. I said nonchalantly.

Regia was silent for a long time before she smiled again. This time, the smile was so sweet that it was like a blooming flower, and it made people almost indulge in it.

"Thank you."

After she finished speaking softly, she hugged the book and read it, and that smile was deeply engraved in my mind.

After lunch, we left her house.

No one noticed that the nightmare was so far away that it was spreading its claw-like hands, ready to hold us tightly.

Klaus is a lawyer who has a firm in Ambertown. He handled the affairs of Dr. Blank's estate. Today, he finally handed over the somewhat strange book to the doctor's nephew, and he was relieved.

As a lawyer who was involved in the whole process, Klaus was a little overwhelmed. There have been too many strange things happening in Amber Town lately, swindling corpses, committing suicide, and killing him. It's as if sin is about to rob decades of peaceful life back. The police department is indeed very treacherous, and if there is no way to explain the things to the head, they will suppress it and not explain. He also listened to the nonsense of a certain pastor, and made a special trip to the relatives of Dr. Blank to comfort his soul.

It's ridiculous, where can a dead man have a soul? Even if human beings really have souls, they are also spiritual, and it is impossible to make corpses cheat corpses. But I really can't tell that the delicate widow, Madame Roger is actually a perverted killer who killed more than a dozen men.

According to the police, she must have believed in a cult and had used Dr. Blank's body as a sacrifice.

The police are also a little conflicted, on the one hand, they think that the black cover of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is the murderer's thing. On the one hand, he gave the book to his nephew, the fat pig named Andrew, as a relic of Blank. Poor Andrew, he had no idea that he risked his life to survive his uncle's fraudulent corpse, and got a worthless "Grimm's Fairy Tales" that could be bought everywhere.

Looking at the poor lad's face so disappointed that he wanted to cry after taking the book, Klaus wanted to laugh. Well, he admits that he has some element of schadenfreude. But that "Grimm's Fairy Tales" doesn't seem to be ordinary in a way. Klaus's heart skipped a beat at the thought of the book with its black cover and oppressive colors.

After taking the book from the police, he also briefly flipped through it. The story in it seems to be different from what I saw when I was a child, and there are many more things. The book seems to be very old, and it is still handwritten. It's just that in Germany, there are many similar things. From time to time, you will see handwritten manuscripts, brown rolls, and other things in the thrift market, but they are basically worthless. I'm afraid the police are also based on this consideration. Originally, it was an excuse to let Andrew come back to accept his uncle's inheritance, and naturally he didn't want Andrew to return empty-handed and leave a handle.

But everything Blanc has registered in his own office and has legal effect. After his death, even the soup spoon in the family will be donated to the 'Children's Autism Foundation'. The exact same piece is also available in the Children's Autism Foundation. When he dies, the Foundation will dispose of the relics.

The only thing left to give Andrew was the black-skinned fairy tale book. Moreover, the police station has also investigated, and this book has nothing to do with the case. It is also impossible for someone to take a copy of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" to a cult sacrifice. It's hilarious otherwise. Just imagine, holding a fairy tale book and reciting a spell while bleeding a living person is really unconscionable. Nine times out of ten, people who can do this are crazy.

After dealing with Blank's legacy, Klaus returned to his office. After another two hours to finish the rest, he turned his neck.

The wall clock on the opposite side already pointed to the position of 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

I feel a little tired, so let's be a little more luxurious today and get off work early.

He pressed the call button on the right side and said to the assistant at the front desk, "Miss Rosen, there are no appointments left this afternoon, right?" ”

"There are no appointments anymore." Secretary Rosen flipped through the timetable in front of him and replied in the affirmative.

"Well, I'm leaving work early. You should go home early when you're done with your work. Klaus began to sort out his bag.

"Well, I will." The secretary immediately became happy, his boss was a serious person, except for the legal holiday accident, it was the first time in so many years that he left work early. When I go back today, I still have time left to watch a few blockbuster movies.

After packing up, Klaus walked out of the office with his bag and drove home. My two children have always felt weird in the last day or two, and they seem to have something on their minds. Thoughts, at what age or body, should not appear. But the strange thing happened to the children in their own family, who were always sullen and didn't laugh for more than two days.

It's not normal, it's really not normal. To be honest, although I am really busy at work, I try to find time to communicate with them, and I will take them out to play on holidays. In the past, the children were quite sensible and always smiled brightly at themselves.

Why, they don't laugh anymore? I haven't done anything in the last two or three days, alas, I really can't figure it out. He suddenly began to miss Dr. Blank, who was a psychiatrist in Ambertown. In this small town with a big palm, he is also the only psychiatrist, and he has always been very good at children's psychological problems. It would be nice if he hadn't died, and his family's problems would have been easily solved.

The home is only a little more than 20 minutes' drive from the office, and it is in a community in the eastern suburbs. Klaus's house is a small three-story building with a garden of more than 100 square meters at the bottom, a planter's lawn and flowers.

As soon as he drove to the door, he saw a huge transport truck parked in front of the garden, and a group of people in green uniforms were busy in their garden, seemingly planting something.

He knew that the uniform was a company in the town called 'Green Plant Cultivation'. That company was in the business of transporting lawns and plants. How did it come back to its home? He didn't call and ask for it!

The answer soon appeared, and he saw his wife standing by the garden gate. She wore a white dress, clasped her hands, and instructed the plantation company to plant a large tree in the center of the garden.

"Honey, what are you doing?" Klaus asked, confused.

"Ah, dear, how could you come back so early?" His wife gave him a kiss passionately, "I bought a tree and am carrying it." ”

"I saw it. But why do you buy tree trunks? Klaus watched as the men dug a hole in their garden and planted the tall, dry tree, "The tree was ugly and old, and it didn't look like it could be planted." ”

"It's a juniper tree. I saw this one when I passed by the gardening company today, and I liked it so much that I bought it and couldn't wait for them to plant it. His wife looked at him wistfully, "I thought you'd like it too." ”

"When, of course I like it. Haha, ahaha. Klaus smiled dryly, like a planted juniper tree. He really didn't understand why his wife had changed her taste, hadn't she always disliked tall trees? That's why the garden is full of lawns and low flowers. Forget it, there will always be some changes in women after forty, I'm afraid it's menopause.

The wife paid, and the man from the planting company jumped out of the car and left. For a moment the garden was clear. The wife happily brought tables and chairs from the house and put them under the tree, made two cups of honey tea, and drank it deliciously.

Klaus sat in his chair and looked up at the juniper tree. The leaves were almost gone, and the branches were bare, like claws. It's scary. It's almost summer, and if a tree can grow like this, it must be sick. His wife should also know why she would buy a tree that is likely to be unviable at a high price.

"What about the kids?" He also took a sip of tea and stopped thinking about the tree.

"In the community kindergarten." The wife replied lightly.

Klaus felt that his wife was very abnormal today, and she was usually very anxious about the children. Even in kindergarten, I will mutter a few words from time to time.

"Do you feel that your child's mood has not been right lately?" He asked tentatively.

"Are you too sensitive, what's wrong with those two little things?" The wife's tone was still not salty.

"Don't you want to pick them up right now?" Klaus looked at his watch, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

"You're annoying, can you let me have a cup of tea quietly." His wife glared at him, stood up suddenly, walked under the juniper tree, touched the dry and rough bark of the trunk, and said, "Honey, do you want to have your own child?" ”

Klaus was stunned: "Don't we already have two?" ”

"I don't mean adoption. It was born of its own self, born out of the womb. His wife screamed hysterically, startling him, "As a woman, how I want to have a child for you." ”

Klaus froze again. As a man, I don't want another child who really belongs to me. But after his wife had a miscarriage due to an accident ten years ago, the hospital diagnosed that she could no longer have children. The two of them suffered for a long time and finally decided to adopt the child.

Now Brown Jr. and Benjamin Jr. are both adopted children, and his wife has only come out of depression because of them. She took care of them like her own children and was proud of them. Why is it that today, the old thing is suddenly brought up again?
