Because of the sound of the phone, Zeng Fangfang woke up, she rubbed her eyes, and asked Xu Haoyuan suspiciously: "What happened?" ”

Xu Haoyuan pursed his lips and was silent for a while before he said: "That woman is gone, and now I don't know where she went, the old man said to call the police." ”

Zeng Fangfang answered lightly, turned over and continued to sleep.

Xu Haoyuan didn't feel sleepy, turned over and walked to the balcony and lit a cigarette.

After that, the stepmother really disappeared and did not come back, Xu's father called the police, and the police searched for nearly a week, but there was no news.

Xu Haoyuan returned home, Xu's father didn't look very good, and both temples had white hair.

Xu Haoyuan walked up to his father and called, "Dad." ”

In fact, it's been a long time since father and son have sat down to chat so calmly.

Seeing his son come back, Xu's father didn't like to deal with him before, but now he only feels that his heart is gone, and he chatters about his son.

"You say, where am I sorry for her? Why didn't she say a word and leave? ”

Xu Haoyuan asked suspiciously, "Isn't there anything lost or valuable at home?" ”

Father Xu held his head in annoyance and denied: "No, she didn't take anything with her, if she really wants to leave, why didn't she take anything with her?" ”

Xu Haoyuan twisted his eyebrows: "It should be...... No way? Could it be that she was angry with you for a while, where did she hide? ”

Recently, the two of them did have a quarrel, and Xu's father always felt that although he had no relationship with his ex-wife, his ex-wife was so sick, and he was sorry for her at the beginning, but it was nothing to go and see.

But his wife kept getting into trouble with him. Say anything, if he dares to go to see his ex-wife, she will leave the house with her son Xiaojun.

So Xu's father also dispelled this idea, he didn't go home at first, and Xu's father thought that she was just angry with herself, but now it's been a week, and she hasn't taken a penny with her, so it can't be a simple runaway.

Moreover, she felt very sorry for her son, and she didn't worry about leaving her son to be taken care of by a nanny, in fact, except for her vanity. It's a little more difficult, but it's still very responsible for the family.

Xu Haoyuan looked at his painful father, he didn't know what to say, he didn't have a good impression of this woman, and if he didn't see it, he would disappear.

"I'll stay at home with you for the next few days, don't think too much, maybe she will come back when she wants to."

Father Xu sighed lightly: "I hope so." ”

Thinking that Zeng Fangfang was still in the apartment, Xu Haoyuan made a call to Zeng Fangfang, "I won't go back to the apartment during this time, you can take care of yourself." And also...... You'd better go to the hospital and remove the baby from your belly, because when you're older, it's not good to operate, and it's you who hurts yourself. ”

Zeng Fangfang cried: "Are you really so unable to tolerate this child?" This is the crystallization of our love, and I want to give birth to him. ”

Xu Haoyuan wanted to scold: "Is there something wrong with your brain?" Who TM is the crystallization of your love? ”

After speaking, Xu Haoyuan hung up the phone in annoyance, this crazy woman, is he too indulgent to her?

The situation of his original family made him never think that he would have a marriage and have children of his own, because he knew very well that he was not a good father.

Xu Haoyuan slept lightly that night and was awakened by the sound of wild cats fighting. It came from the roof of his room.

The cat's sharp bark, listening to it is always a little crazy, Xu Haoyuan turned over, twisted his eyebrows, and cursed in a low voice: "This damn cat!" ”

He had insomnia, and he hadn't slept for a long time, so he grabbed his baseball bat and walked quickly to the roof, and sure enough, he saw two wild cats biting at each other, as if they were fighting for some food.

In the dark night, there was a small piece of meat not far from the two cats, too far away to see clearly, and when they were surprised that someone was approaching, one of the cats took the meat in its mouth and ran away.

Xu Haoyuan rushed forward and swung the baseball bat, and the speed of the two cats was very fast, and they disappeared in front of his eyes at once.

He glanced at the carrion not far away with some disgust, leaned forward to take a look, looked at it for a long time, his face suddenly turned pale, and he fell to the ground, not moving for a long time.

It was a human hand bone, but it was so rotten that if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see it clearly.

Xu Haoyuan ran down the roof of the building and called his father up, "Dad, get up quickly!" Father!!! ”

Father Xu got up in a state of despair: "What are you doing?" What a nonsense. ”

Xu Haoyuan's expression made Xu's father nervous all of a sudden: "What happened?" ”

"You'd better take a look at the rooftop, maybe I was wrong."

Xu Haoyuan took his father to the roof of the building, the wind on the roof was very strong, Xu's father was a little cold, tightened his nightgown, and was obviously impatient, "What did you ask me to come to the roof in the middle of the night to see?" ”

Xu Haoyuan pointed in the direction of the hand bones: "There, there are human hand bones." ”

Father Xu looked in the direction he pointed, but saw nothing.

"What do you want me to see? It was pitch black and nothing. Although he said this, Xu's father still walked over with a flashlight, but after a closer look, there was indeed nothing around.

There was a strange rancid smell that lingered on the tip of my nose and spread through the air.

Xu Haoyuan was surprised: "I saw it just now, how could I not have it?" As he spoke, he strode in the direction of Xu's father, and the hand bone just now was indeed missing.

But he stared at it for a long time just now, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it, and the fingertips were not completely rotten.

Xu Haoyuan shuddered, "Maybe those two wild cats just now came back and took away the broken hand bones." ”

Xu's father glanced at his son suspiciously: "Did you encounter something recently, and you were too nervous, so you saw it wrong." ”

Xu Haoyuan hates that others don't believe him, and in the end he is still suspicious: "Believe it or not, I always feel that there is something strange here, so let's call the police first and let the police come and check." ”

Father Xu was a little angry: "Nothing, you asked the police to come and see a fart?!" ”

"How do you know there's nothing? Have you checked it? ”

Father Xu pointed to the water tower on the roof of the building, "What else can there be besides this, it's all water." ”

As if realizing something, the father and the two of them quieted down all of a sudden, a cold wind blew, and the two of them shivered, and Xu's father suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Or, call the police to check first." ”

Xu Haoyuan called the police, and the police rushed over in the early morning, and they searched carefully on the roof of the building, and really found it in the water tower.

Both the father and son of the Xu family were angry and asked the nanny to take Xiaojun out, and the police salvaged here for a morning, more than two hours. A highly decomposed female corpse was recovered from the water tower.

Father Xu looked at the clothes and recognized it at a glance, it was his wife, and the worst result before was just thinking that she was very likely to run away with other wild men.

But she didn't expect that she would drown in her own water tower.

And the female corpse broke a palm, looking at the cut of the wound, it should have been cut off with an axe or knife, a very sharp knife.

The police quickly judged that he was the one who killed him, and the most suspicious person in the Xu family was Xu Haoyuan.

He had enough motives to kill people that he was immediately taken to the police station for interrogation. But because of insufficient evidence, Xu Haoyuan was released the next day.

Xu's father didn't go out at home, but only cooperated with the police to record some notes, because his mother disappeared for so long and didn't come back, and his teenage son clamored for his mother.

But how could Xu's father bear to tell him that his mother would never come back.

After that, he sent his son to a boarding school and lied to his mother that he had traveled abroad and that it would be a long time before he returned.

The young son did not doubt it, and although he had a bad premonition in his heart, he preferred to believe that everything his father said was true.

Xu's father called his eldest son, and Xu Haoyuan was drinking with his friends at this time.

When I received a call from my father, I was a little unhappy: "What are you calling me for?" ”

"Come back, I have something to ask you."

Since this incident, Xu Haoyuan went to the police station and never returned home, let alone called him, for him, it is a good thing for him to die a stepmother.

Xu Haoyuan took a puff of his cigarette: "You will come back later." ”

Father Xu was in a bad mood: "Now, you come back immediately, there are some things I have to ask you face-to-face." ”

Father Xu's words made Xu Haoyuan feel very uncomfortable to hear, his biological father would not suspect him and think that he did it, right?

"Okay, then I'll go back now." Xu Haoyuan turned around and said hello to his friend, and drove back to the house.

As soon as the father and son met, the atmosphere froze.

Father Xu's face was solemn, "Sit." ”

Xu Haoyuan sat down in silence, and Xu's father thought for a while and asked, "I just want to know if this matter has anything to do with you?" ”

Xu Haoyuan: "Do you think I killed your woman?" I got into an argument with her and chased her to the roof. Then he took the knife in his hand, cut off her hand, and strangled her to death and threw her into the water tower? ”

Father Xu: "I can't think of anyone else besides you." ”

Xu Haoyuan: "Although I hate her very much, I won't lose my mind and take her life." ”

Father Xu: "There is no trace of a fight below, at a glance, I know that it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, how could she climb to the top of the building for no reason?" One thing was someone forcing her or tricking her into going to the roof of the building. ”

Xu Haoyuan rolled his eyes: "Then why do you think it's me?" ”

Father Xu: "I don't want it to be you, I have lost my wife now, I don't want to lose another son, can you understand?" ”

Xu Haoyuan was about to get angry. Seeing his father's helpless appearance, he was silent for a long time: "It's really not me, of course I don't care who killed her, the police may be able to find the murderer soon, don't think about it." ”

After speaking, Xu Haoyuan got up and was about to leave, but his father left him down for dinner: "Don't leave today, right?" Your brother will come back from school, and I don't know what to do if he asks where his mom is. ”

Xu Haoyuan saw such a fragile father for the first time, so he had to agree.

Xu Haoyuan spent the night at home that night......

Liang Zhan told Ah Ci about the recent events in the Xu family, and Ah Ci was surprised: "My stepmother is dead?" ”

Liang Zhan nodded his head: "I said I was missing before." A week ago, the body was found, with a palm cut off and thrown into a water tower. ”

Ah Ci wrinkled his eyebrows: "Is there a whereabouts of the murderer now?" ”

Liang Zhan: "It seems that there has been no progress, and now the police are still investigating, and they suspect that it is Xu Haoyuan." ”

Ah Ci: "I remember you said before that it couldn't be Xu Haoyuan who killed someone. ”

Liang Zhan replied softly: "I don't think it's him." ”

Ah Ci: "He has the most motive to kill, but you say that he can't kill people, so who will kill this woman?" ”

Liang Zhan: "Could it be this woman's own enemy?" ”

Ah Ci: "As far as I know, after this woman got married and had children, she has been living according to the rules. I didn't have a grudge against anyone, so I don't think it's very likely. ”

Liang Zhan: "Since I didn't offend anyone, I still died in my own home, which is too weird." ”

Ah Ci was silent for a while, and said: "If Xu Haoyuan didn't kill anyone, and she didn't have a grudge against others, the person with the most direct interests is still Xu Haoyuan, will it be the killer hired by Xu Haoyuan?" ”

Liang Zhan was stunned for a moment before he said, "There will be this possibility." ”

Ah Ci glanced at him. He got up and said, "Let's go to his apartment." ”

Liang Zhan: "What are you going to do there?" ”

Ah Ci: "Maybe there will be new discoveries. ”

Liang Zhan glanced at the sky: "It's too late now, or tomorrow during the day, I'll accompany you again." ”

Indeed, this woman died, and the most direct beneficiary was Xu Haoyuan, and there was a deep grudge between them. Since Xu Haoyuan didn't kill anyone, maybe he looked for a killer on impulse?

In the middle of the night, Xu Haoyuan had a nightmare, in which his stepmother was covered in blood, and her skin and flesh were rotten. As he ran, the carrion fell to the ground.

She was chasing him for his life, and he was going to get his life back.

Xu Haoyuan ran desperately, shouting: "I didn't kill you, there is a debtor who is wronged, whoever kills you, who do you find!" ”

But it was useless for him to run, until the rotting corpse caught up with him and grabbed him by the neck: "You killed me!" It's you who killed me, and you still don't admit it?! ”

Xu Haoyuan shook his head desperately. He felt a little suffocated, and just as he felt like he was out of breath, he suddenly woke up from his nightmare.

Panting for breath and staring at the endless darkness, he turned on the light in the room with trembling hands.

At this moment, he was soaked in cold sweat, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief, fortunately it was just a dream.

He took the glass of water from the bedside table and was about to drink it, only to find that there was no water.

He got up and put on a coat. I went downstairs with a glass of water.

But I vaguely heard a cry in the hall, and when I listened carefully, it turned out to be Xiaojun's.

Xiaojun cried very sadly and said that he wanted to find his mother. His father was comforting him gently: "Xiaojun don't cry, Xiaojun, you are already a big child, obedient." ”

Xiaojun: "Why hasn't Mom come back?" She had never been home for so long. ”

Xu's father said helplessly: "I will definitely come back, as long as Xiaojun studies hard, my mother will come back." ”

Xiaojun suddenly got angry and waved away his father's hand: "You lied to me!" They all said that their mother was dead, that someone had killed her. The police took her body in the water tower. ”

Father Xu was silent for a long time: "Xiaojun, I know that my mother's departure has caused you a big blow, but you can't cry like this, you are a boy, be brave." ”

Xiaojun: "Then you tell my brother to move out quickly." ”

Xu Haoyuan was stunned, this little thing was for his father to drive him away??

Who knew that Xu's father said comfortingly: "Dad will let him leave tomorrow, does Xiaojun hate his brother very much?" ”

Xiaojun snorted coldly: "He's not my brother, he always bullies his mother, he also bullies me, Xiaojun hates him." Mom also said that he always likes to rob things with me, rob my house, rob my father with me, and he also wants to take all the money in the house. ”

Xu Haoyuan clenched his hands into fists, eager to go out now and beat that kid wildly, but he endured it again.

Father Xu sighed lightly; "You listen to your mother's nonsense? He won't dare to bully you in the future, and when you grow up, Dad will give you everything in the company. Won't your brother have to look at your face when the time comes? ”

Xiaojun stopped crying and said excitedly: "Will I bully him as much as I want to bully him then?" ”

Father Xu smiled lightly: "You don't have to bully him, as long as you confiscate his money, he will obediently listen to you." ”

Xiaojun: "Then dad won't give him a penny in the future, my brother is too bad." ”

Xu Haoyuan gasped hard, thinking that over the years, his father had put all his efforts on his younger brother and had never taken care of him.

I thought it was because he was really too rebellious and did something to hurt him. But they were just trying to get his attention and make him care more about himself.

didn't expect that in his eyes, their father-son relationship was so cold.

He has never regarded him as a real biological son, and in front of his youngest son, he can bury himself like this, it's hateful!!

Xu Haoyuan silently turned around and went back to the room, lay on the bed and widened his eyes, thinking of those words just now, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

They were all born and raised by their parents, why are they so much worse? Could it be that he was born cheaper than his younger brother?!

Early the next morning, Xu Haoyuan went back to the apartment without even eating breakfast.

I happened to meet Liang Zhan and Ah Ci downstairs in the apartment.

Seeing them, Xu Haoyuan was a little surprised, because a lot of things have happened recently, and they haven't gotten together for a long time.

Liang Zhan smiled: "What a coincidence, I was looking for you, but I didn't expect to meet you downstairs." ”

Xu Haoyuan's spirit was not very good, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Liang Zhan: "I thought of coming here to be taken care of by you a lot." So I, Ah Ci and I, plan to treat you to a meal. ”

Xu Haoyuan glanced at Ah Ci with a warm expression: "Let's go upstairs first." ‘

Ah Ci and Liang Zhan followed him upstairs.

Unexpectedly, there was still a person hiding in his house, Zeng Fangfang was busy in the kitchen, and when he saw him bring a friend home, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and asked gently: "Do you want to make two more breakfasts?" ”

Liang Zhan waved his hand: "Don't bother too much, we ate it when we came." ”

Zeng Fangfang glanced at Ah Ci thoughtfully, and returned to the kitchen silently.

In fact, there was nothing special, but when Ah Ci withdrew his gaze from her, the faint killing intent attracted attention.

This girl seems to be very ordinary, but I always feel that there is something different about her. Ah Ci smelled a familiar smell from her.

Zeng Fangfang is a very good cook, and she made a two-point breakfast after a while, and Xu Haoyuan didn't say politely: "You really eat?" If you haven't eaten, why don't you go out and eat together? ”

Liang Zhan: "If you really eat it, you can eat your own." ”

Ah Ci sat on the sofa and quietly paid attention to Zeng Fangfang.

Zeng Fangfang seemed to feel her gaze, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Ah Ci, who hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled at her.

Ah Ci's smile has never been as friendly as others, although it looks beautiful, but I always feel that I don't smile.

Zeng Fangfang and Xu Haoyuan finished breakfast and began to clean up the table.

Seeing her enter the kitchen, Ah Ci got up and walked to the kitchen, and asked coldly, "Do you need help?" ”

Zeng Fangfang's body trembled slightly, and she looked back at Ah Ci: "No." ”

As if she hadn't heard, Ah Ci stepped forward and took a dry rag and wiped the washed dishes clean for her.

Zeng Fangfang saw her like this, and didn't pay attention to her anymore.

When she was about to finish washing, Zeng Fangfang suddenly said, "You won't have a chance." ”

Ah Ci was slightly stunned for a moment. "What did you just say?" I didn't hear clearly. ”

Zeng Fangfang smiled at her: "I didn't say anything, you probably heard it wrong just now." ”

Ah Ci looked at her suspiciously, "Oh, that's probably my delusion." ”

Obviously, she did say something just now, she won't have a chance. I don't know what that means, but it's certainly ill-intentioned.

This woman, especially when she is alone, can feel the breath of death in her even more, which is very strong.

If it weren't for the bloody hands, a normal person would not have such a dead breath.

At this time, Liang Zhan and Xu Haoyuan went out to buy cigarettes and beer for a week. Only Ah Ci and Zeng Fangfang are at home.

Zeng Fangfang held the fruit knife with a gloomy face: "Do you want to eat fruit?" ”

Ah Ci watched as she took the fruit out of the fridge. "Whatever."

Zeng Fangfang suddenly had an extremely kind attitude: "I am now pregnant with Haoyuan's child, so I must know how to take care of myself, I will eat a lot of fruits every day, I heard that the skin of the child born in this way will be particularly white." ”

Ah Ci subconsciously glanced at her belly, but the lower abdomen she was caressing was very flat, so she asked curiously: "Child, how many months have you been pregnant?" ”

It was originally a very ordinary greeting, but Zeng Fangfang's face changed very sensitively, and she scolded angrily: "What do you mean by asking?" Do you suspect that I don't have a child at all?! ”

Talking about the knife in her hand that was still very excited, Ah Ci looked at the knife in her hand coldly, but she was not afraid, after all, her skills were not bad, and it was more than enough to deal with Zeng Fangfang.

"I'm just asking you, I don't mean anything else."

Zeng Fangfang said in a strange manner: "You are less here, obviously your eyes are seducing Haoyuan all the time, do you think Haoyuan will like a cheap woman like you?!" Don't be delusional, besides, I have his child now, and he won't fall in love with any woman again!! ”
