"Anyway, I can't leave her for a while. ”

Jiang Yan sighed and said, "What is it that hinders human beings from pursuing love freely?"

She asked seriously and couldn't answer casually, "Marriage, responsibility, and worldly eyes." ”

"We all have a yearning for unbridled behavior, but we live in other people's rules. ”

"I guess it's a yearning for freedom. "Had to correct her.

Jiang Yan shrugged.

"I'll report to the institute tomorrow. "In the past few days since I came back from Bolivia, I haven't even worked a day, and I am still carrying huge debts from others, how can I be lazy with peace of mind.

"Just don't go. She didn't come with the identity of the boss, "The world is about to end, everyone is busy with pleasure, there is no time to work, and the institute is the only one left behind." ”

"Dr. Lemmon is really dedicated. ”

"It's weird. Jiang Yan pouted and said, "He is just a madman, he has no family, no friends, he has been doing research all his life, and it is estimated that he only has this hobby left in his life." ”

Dark clouds covered the sky, the drizzle drifted lightly, and the beads could not be dissolved on the clothes.

Jiang Yan pushed open the fence gate of the courtyard and walked towards a red sports car, where a man stood on the deserted foundation opposite, his hands in his trouser pockets, his plaid shirt fluttering in the wind.

I don't hide when it rains, a weirdo.

She ignored it, opened the car door, and was about to get into the driver's seat, but the man said, "Have you heard? There is a sad story in this place where gold flowers bloom everywhere. ”

Jiang Yan looked at no one else on the left and right, "Are you talking to me?"

The man crouched down and picked out a small white trumpet among the many wild flowers next to the foundation, "There used to be a couple living here, the husband was a timid man, and the only thing he had to do every day was how to please his wife, who was irritable because she was unable to have children, and whipped him when she was in a bad mood, but despite this, he was still obedient to her. Knowing that his wife liked goldenrod, he turned over the whole yard and sprinkled the goldenrod seeds, and when they grew tall and bloomed white trumpet flowers, he saw his wife smile heartily for the first time, and that smile did not carry any sorrow. ”

"This is a beautiful story, isn't it, the sadness that comes?" the story was a little intriguing, and Jiang Yan approached him.

But his wife's smile was as short as a flower, and her face changed faster than the weather, and he was still beaten. The little trumpet flower turned on the man's finger, "Every time the husband is beaten, the wife falls into remorse and pain, so they try their best to prolong the flowering period of the goldenrod." Build a greenhouse, fertilize, water, and even ask for help from a wizard, but after all, it can't beat the laws of nature, and the flowers are gone. ”

"What a strange couple. Jiang Yan smiled, "If you want to keep the flowers blooming, it's like letting the sun rise in the west." ”

Later, a doctor passed by and saw goldenrod all over the yard, and became curious, and after learning about the husband and wife, he came up with a solution, and heard that using dead people as fertilizer can make flowers bloom for a long time. ”

"Cut, does anyone believe this kind of lie?"

The man put the little flower close to the tip of his nose, sniffed it and said, "They believe it anyway." ”

"What if you believe it, is it difficult to kill someone?"

They first experimented with a dog, which had to be skinned according to the doctor's instructions, but though the puppy had been killed, the husband was too timid to skin it, and the hostess's hands were shaking, so they had to ask the doctor for help, and in less than an hour he skinned the whole dog and hung it on a lamppost by the roadside, according to the old tradition. The next morning, the goldenrod, which was supposed to decay, unfolded its petals again. ”

"You're lying to me, aren't you?" Jiang Yan turned to leave, but was suddenly stunned, turned back and asked, "Why does it sound like a human skinning crime that happened here in the past?"

The man smiled slightly, and said, "The goldenrod lowered its head again in the afternoon, which made the couple anxious, they thought that it was because they did not use the human corpse, and that night, they made up the idea of a woman who delivered the food, strangled her with a telephone line, and found a doctor to come and skin, and buried the body under the goldenrod in the courtyard." ”

Jiang Yan's scalp began to tingle, "I haven't seen these things in the news, how did you know about them? Could it be that you are ...... Doctor. "I've heard that criminals have a habit of revisiting crime locations.

"Look, the flowering season has passed, but the goldenrod is still in full bloom. The small white flower in the man's hand fell to the ground, soaked in stagnant water, and he took out a gray handkerchief from his pocket, "Goldenrod is actually a poisonous plant with a whole body, and it has another name - mandala. ”

The figure on the ground gradually extended over, Jiang Yan turned around and ran, her arms were crooked around her neck from behind, the gray handkerchief blocked the screams, a chemical strong smell penetrated into her nostrils, she stared, her hands went to break the arm, and her eyelids still closed disobediently.

An Yi untied the ribbon, inserted carnations into the Changjin vase, and waited for the last one to be put in before she asked, "Why did Jiang Yan come?"

"Work. The husband replied.

"She wants you to go back to work?"

"No, it's the opposite. ”

"You're fired?"

"It's not a dismissal, it's just that no one in the institute works, and it's useless to go back. ”

"Oh, I see. Her brow furrowed slightly.

Her husband understands her worries, now that the couple has no job, their savings are running out soon, and they have children to raise in the future, "Now the city is full of people who are smashing and looting, and it is no longer suitable to live, so I will not move back to my hometown next month." "It's a great place to escape from the chaos of the city, and you can live in a variety of places.

"Hmm. She nodded.

"That Zhang Wei, he seems to be nice to you. ”

"I'm only a friend with him, don't think too much about it. ”

"I don't think he's just a friend to you. ”

"He used to confess to me, but I have definitively rejected him. ”

As soon as she guessed it, the relationship between Zhang Wei and An Qi was explained, which was obviously a farce arranged by her.

"How much do you know about him?"

"He was a warm-hearted man, courteous, and gave up practicing medicine in order to open a bar. ”

All she heard in her mouth was merit, politeness, it depended on who, he had just entered the door, and he didn't pay attention to the man at all.

Ding dong

The doorbell rang again, and there were so many people coming to the door today.

There was a woman wearing a community security uniform standing outside the door, she smiled and said, "Sir, your car forgot to close the door, please go outside the door to check if there is any lost property in the car." ”

"Car?" "Where did you get the car?" The only car in the family has long been sold.

An Yi saw the security guard and also came over to understand the situation, "We don't have a car at home. ”

The security guard pointed out the door and said, "The car is parked right outside your house, it's a sports car, and it looks quite expensive." ”

This female security guard is new here, replacing the doorman who was killed by the metal alien, so she didn't know that the family didn't have a car on the register, let alone a sports car.

The couple followed her to the door, a red sports car parked next to Huaji, the body was full of water droplets, the rain had long since stopped, and it stayed here for at least an hour.

The raised doors were upright, and there was no one inside.

"Is it really not yours?" asked the security guard.

The couple shook their heads.

"Then I'll have to ask someone to drag it away. She said, pulling out the walkie-talkie that was hanging over her shoulder.

"Wait, this car looks familiar......"

"Kaiming, where have you seen it?" An Yi asked.

"Jiang Yan, she also has a sports car of the same model. ”

"She's been here just now, so the car is hers. ”

Kai Ming scratched his scalp, "What about Jiang Yanren? How could she leave the car here and not even close the door." ”

The female security guard put away the walkie-talkie and said, "Don't guess, try to call her." Now that the law and order is not good, you may meet bad people. ”

"Yes, call. ”

The phone was dialed for two minutes and was kept on a busy tone.

The situation is a bit bad, the female security guard called her colleagues to search around the community, and before leaving, she told the couple that if the search is fruitless, it is recommended to call the police.

The two looked around the villa and found nothing, so they had to go back to the house and wait for news.

An Yi saw her husband sitting on the sofa and said nothing, so she said, "Maybe Jiang Yan went for a walk nearby." ”

"No way! She was wearing high heels, it was raining, she couldn't go for a walk, she must have been kidnapped. ”

An Yi sat next to him and said, "She is a young lady, and it is indeed easy to attract kidnappers. ”

Kai Ming frowned, "The kidnapper wants money, but it is easy to deal with, and the most afraid is to meet him." ”

"Who?"

"Murderer of human skin. Keming leaned back on the couch and took a deep breath.

There was a smell of wine in the dark, and the coldness came from the ground, and there were two rows of large wooden barrels on the iron frame next to it, and there were several porcelain jars in the corners.

。

She shook her head, and it took a few seconds for her to remember that her name was Jiang Yan. What kind of place is this? Glare fluorescent lamps overhead, brick walls on all sides, what seems to be a vault or something.

She moved to find her hands tied behind her back, a rubber cable tie on her feet, and a patch on her mouth, and her shouting turned into a squeak.

It's miserable, he was kidnapped to an unknown place, and the kidnapper is the legendary murderer of human skin.

The iron door slammed open, and the man walked in, holding a red wine glass in his hand, and walked down the three stairs with his feet in whiteboard shoes.

He placed the cup on the ground in front of Jiang Yan and tore off the film on his mouth.

"Please, let me go, I can give you money. ”

He smiled, crouched down and stared at her face, "It's not a problem that money can solve. ”

"We have no grievances, why are you arresting me?"

"You know too much to let you go. ”

"It's because you can't control your mouth, you have to say it, I was forced to hear it. ”

"Then I want you to die. ”

"No, you're going too far. ”

The man picked up the cup, walked to the big wooden barrel, removed the palm-sized round lid, poured out half a cup of red liquid with a wooden spoon, and put the cup back in front of Jiang Yan.

"Do you know what's in here?"

Jiang Yan sniffed and replied, "Red wine." ”

The man picked up the glass of wine, tilted his head, and the liquor fell down his throat, and he put the empty glass on the ground and asked, "Guess what I'm going to put in the glass next?"

She shook her head, who could have guessed what a psychopathic murderer thought.

The man grinned, "Here's a hint for you." He spread a handkerchief on the floor and placed a scalpel on it.

The blade flickered brightly in the light, and Jiang Yan's eyes widened, "No, ......"
