Chapter 4: Midnight
Smack——!
The lights in the living room and foyer were on.
Luo Shen glanced at the vacant house that he pried open with satisfaction, although the more than 200 square meters of the duplex was just a simple decoration, but in terms of life and space, it was indeed enough for Luo Shen to use.
"So...... The next step is to prepare enough food. ”
Using a mobile phone to access the Internet, Luo Shen clicked on the service ordered by the local supermarket.
In one go, dozens of boxes of canned food and a large amount of frozen meat, rice and other materials were ordered.
In a place like the "Ghost Building Community", it is natural that it will not be delivered under normal circumstances, but fortunately, Luo Shen's order is large enough for the supermarket to send a special car to deliver the goods.
Sent off a few sweaty delivery workers.
Luo Shen closed the door and drooled at the thousands of catties of frozen meat, dozens of boxes of canned food, and hundreds of kilograms of rice piled up in the entire living room......
……
"Mom, I'm scared." A little Lori was lying in her own small quilt and pitifully grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes.
The woman smiled softly and touched Little Lori's head with a warm palm: "Nan Nan is not afraid, didn't Nan Nan say that she was already very brave?" ”
"But......" Little Lori pursed her lips, and her big black and white eyes looked at the dark corners of the room with fear.
"It turns out that Nan Nan is afraid of the dark~ Is it okay for my mother to turn on the little giraffe lamp for Nan Nan? Nan Nan is a big child, you have to learn to sleep alone~" The woman said, took out a cartoon giraffe-shaped night light from the miscellaneous items on the side and plugged it into the latch at the head of the bed, and the warm yellow light immediately sprinkled softly all over the room.
Little Lori's expression seemed to have softened a lot.
The woman touched her daughter's little head with satisfaction, and then left the room.
Although I still feel uneasy about my mother's departure.
But after all, she was only a little girl, and the fatigue of a day of crazy play hit her, and that little uneasiness soon turned into a deep sleepiness in the feeling of fatigue and the soft glow of the cartoon giraffe night light......
I don't know how long it took.
Little Lori suddenly woke up.
The thirst in her throat and the swollen urine in her little stomach made little Lori call out softly to her mother, and then realized that she had slept alone.
Look around the room.
Warm pink walls with cute stickers, cartoon dolls on shelves, and posters of magical girl P-......
These things that used to be very attractive to little Lori are now unattractive in the absence of her mother.
"Mom!" She screamed again.
However, under the heavy obstruction of the door, the living room and the door of the couple's bedroom, Xiao Lori's call did not respond.
Anxiety and fear hit Lori's heart.
The little girl had the courage to stretch her little feet out of the quilt.
Got off the ground.
She remembered her mother's instructions, so she sensibly put on her cute pink socks, and then ran to the door of the room and opened the door that was already hidden.
The dark living room with no light made little Loriser shrink back.
But her mother's inspiration allowed her to overcome her fear of the dark for a while, and she struggled to overcome the fear of the big bad wolf, the witch, and the big sister with long hair that kept popping up in her little head.
She hurriedly ran through the dark living room with a pair of small short legs, and found a familiar direction in the darkness to the door of the couple's bedroom.
Kla-
She padded her feet and pulled down the handles with both hands.
However......
The bed illuminated by the moonlight shining through the window was empty, except for the messy quilt that showed that there were still traces of someone sleeping here.
"Mom? Father? ”
The crisp voice with a milky note echoed through the room, and it seemed a little hollow.
Squeak! Squeak!
A strange sound suddenly came from the kitchen.
Little Lori, who thought her parents were hiding in the kitchen, showed joy on her face and ran to the kitchen with her calves.
The kitchen door was not shut, revealing a crack.
There were no lights on inside the house, only the white moonlight shining through the window illuminated everything, allowing one to get a rough view.
The door was pushed open by Lori.
And then.
She saw the mother she was looking for.
Stand in front of the kitchen counter.
The white moonlight illuminated the upper body of the mother very clearly, the blood stains all over the body, the sharp kitchen knife reflecting the cold light in her hand, and the woman's other hand was sending it to her mouth......
That belongs to the man's finger......
"Ah——!h
In the screams of the little Lori, the woman turned her head......
……
Luo Shen wore a cap and a mask, and stood in an inconspicuous corner from afar looking at the busy police inside and outside the corridor, and his heart was also confused.
This morning, when he didn't understand it at all, the policemen swarmed in, and he thought he had been exposed, but then he realized that the policemen were not coming for him at all! Instead, he came to the same building as the one he pried open yesterday, just two floors apart.
At this time.
Photographs and evidence from the scene appear to have been collected, and a black body bag was hauled down.
The crowd chattered.
An aunt who seemed to be the first to discover the situation, and even ran to the door of the door of the crime when the police had not completely cleared the corridor, suddenly became excited at this time, and asked the people around her for her "exclusive information".
Putting aside her oily and vinegaring parts and the aunt's own rich psychological activities, Luo Shen nearby also heard what happened.
It turned out to be the neighbor of the lower two floors of the house he occupied last night, and somehow, the hostess suddenly went crazy in the middle of the night and stabbed her sleeping husband to death! and also dragged the husband's body to the kitchen to be cut and dismembered......
And the most terrifying thing is.
The woman actually ate half of her husband's palm, until her little daughter, who got up in the middle of the night, screamed when she saw this horrific scene...... The woman only "sobered up".
It was nearly dawn.
The woman called the police by herself after the collapse, and shrunk in the corner with her frightened and frantically struggling daughter...... It wasn't until the police arrived that some neighbors who heard the movement followed at the door to learn something.
"Oops! Sister-in-law...... This woman can't be sleepwalking, right? I've heard of people who have this problem! Wasn't there a news story a few years ago that a child jumped directly from the fifth floor in the middle of the night in a dream? A woman in her early fifties said with a sharp voice.
"Who knows! She said she was sleepwalking! If you want me to say, it's hard that this woman and her husband got into a fight, and the more she thought about it at night, the more angry she became, so she just killed her husband in the middle of the night......" Someone in the crowd speculated maliciously.
At this time, the woman and the child were also brought down.
The little girl with swollen eyes was huddled tightly in the arms of the policeman holding her, refusing to show her face.
The woman had already been handcuffed, and the two policewomen were sandwiching her two sizes smaller than the policewoman in size and weight.
For no reason.
Luo Shen felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable "familiarity" in this woman's body.
