Shino was a little frightened and confused. The girl in front of her, who called herself Gu Xueyi, seemed to have known herself a long time ago, and her sincere gaze didn't seem to be deceiving people.

However, in his memory, he didn't have any impression of her, and even the name 'Gu Xueyi' was the first time he had heard of it.

"I promise you." Xiao also said seriously. "This time will never be forgotten."

Gu Xueyi was stunned for a moment after hearing the reply, and then held back her tears and raised her head to show a happy smile.

"Let's go~" Gu Xueyi took Xiao Yi's right hand and walked across the road.

This time they were lucky not to encounter the oncoming truck again.

……

"This is your home?" Xiao also felt a little surprised, the men in suits who were driven away by Xue Yi before, according to their words and deeds, Xiao also speculated that it should be a group of bodyguards, and the object of their protection, Gu Xueyi, is likely to be the daughter of a certain business owner.

But the crumbling and dilapidated houses in front of him, the homeless people in the simple sheds around him, and the rags and garbage on the ground under his feet, clearly told Xiao Yi that this is the dirtiest place in Yunmeng City, an idle development area called 'slum'.

Xue Yi walked to the dilapidated house in front of her, and at the same time greeted a group of street children who were playing around her.

It seems that Gu Xueyi has lived here for more than a day or two, Xiao Yi smiled helplessly and followed Xue Yi up the steps.

Standing at the door of the third floor, looking out of the windowsill, there are about a thousand simple sheds of all sizes within a radius of several hundred meters, each of which is made of waste cardboard and snakeskin sacks, plus wooden sticks and wires. It's hard to imagine how hard it must have been on their rainy days. In contrast, Xueyi's accommodation is very comfortable, and this three-storey house with an area of less than 100 square meters seems to be the only cement house in the entire 'slum'. Although it looks crumbling, most of them will not collapse in a short period of time.

"Squeak-" Xue Yi pushed open the door, and a heavy damp mildew came to her face.

Xiao Yi hurriedly waved his hand and fanned the wind, covered his nose and walked in.

"This smell is there as long as it rains, don't worry, you will get used to it later, come, you sit here." Xue Yi patted the dark sofa, and a layer of heavy dust was raised by the slap and did not disperse for a long time.

Xiao Yi did not refuse Xue Yi's kindness, so he had to choose to sit down first, and then hold his breath.

"Whew!" The LED energy-saving lamp overhead suddenly turned on, and Shino looked up to see that the bulb was actually brand new.

Bright lights illuminate the whole room. At this time, Xiao Yi saw the whole picture of the room, although the whole room was very large, but the walls were covered with large and small photos and materials, and many of them were nailed to the wall with iron nails. Because of these things, the room is very small and cramped.

Xiao was also a little curious, and got up to take a look.

The photos are mainly photos of some little boys, all of which are of all kinds, and they are all ** years old.

Is it pedophilia? Xiao Yi looked back at Gu Xueyi who was preparing food in the kitchen, Xue Yi with an apron felt very virtuous, and she carefully prepared the food to make Xiao Yi have a familiar picture.

Well, it shouldn't be pedophilia.

Shino continued to look at the walls and found that there were also some maps of various provinces in the country, and even a few from abroad. They are all slightly yellowed, and it seems that these maps have been used for a long time.

Xiao Yi swept the photos of several men in the trash, and when Xiao Yi picked them up, he was surprised to find that the men in the photos were very similar to himself.

It wasn't until this moment that Shinoyi finally understood.

If it weren't for that accidental coincidence, Xue Yi might still be collecting clues and continuing to look for herself. An inexplicable burning sensation appeared in his chest, and Shino, who has always been alert in trouble, couldn't understand this feeling in his chest, because he had never experienced it before, and he had never been in love.

Xiao Yi looked at Xue Yi again, and couldn't help but start to be a little curious, what did she do when she was young to make a little girl do this in order to find herself?

"Little Love~" Xue Yi brought out a bowl of golden egg fried rice. "Taste it." She looked at Xiao Yi with a little excitement.

Xiao Yi was also a little hungry, and reached out to take the dishes and chopsticks.

"Thanks, what about you?"

"There's a lot more in the pot, I'll eat it later." Xue Yi's eyes were full of anticipation. "I want to watch you eat it now."

Xiao also hesitated, but still picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

The salt is a bit too much, everything else is fine. But a sense of disobedience arose, and Xiao couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it again.

"It was delicious. Next time, you can put less salt. Xiao also looked up at Xue Yi, only to find out. Although the other party's expression was sluggish, his face was already full of tears.

Did I say something wrong? Didn't you? Just a little suggestion, huh?

Why are you crying again? Are girls all like that? It's hard to do.

“…… Stop crying, okay? Xiao Yi comforted softly, and at the same time wanted to reach out and touch the other party's head, but who knew that Xue Yi suddenly cried even more fiercely, and threw herself directly into her arms, almost knocking off the dishes and chopsticks again.

After that, she snuggled up in Xiao Yi's arms and cried for nearly half an hour.

After a long time, the crying gradually stopped, and slowly turned into an even breathing sound.

Did you fall asleep? Shinoi looked sideways, Xue Yi's eyes were red, and although her eyes were closed, her face was full of happy smiles.

It turned out that after falling asleep, people would still show such an expression, and Xiao Yi silently wrote it down in his heart, and then gently lay Xue Yi on the sofa.

Xiao Yi, who left Xue Yi's house, walked down the street, slowly recalling everything just now.

I just wanted to invite myself to dinner, but I also prepared a good escape plan......

Xiao Yi walked alone on the street late at night, smiling helplessly.

A gust of evening breeze blew through, and at the same time brought a strong smell of blood.

Shinoya looked in the direction the wind was blowing. A group of police officers and a few forensic doctors were sitting in a circle, constantly busy. The medical examiner was taking samples, while police officers were taking pictures, some were talking on walkie-talkies, and several police officers were setting up a cordon around them.

Looking through the gap in the crowd, a scarred arm lay on the ground, and Shino shifted his position to the sparse part of the crowd.

It was only then that he finally saw the whole scene.

It turned out that the arm was not one lying on the ground, but one of a messy pile of flesh.

There was not much blood on the ground, but a small piece of dirty and blurred flesh, and it was impossible to distinguish which organ it originally belonged to, and the rest were a few larger limbs, and the upper half of the torso, and the head seemed to have been put away by the police, so a small piece of ground was vacated in the original position.

It's a bit hard to do without a head......

Shino also began to take a closer look at the broken left leg and the more intact pair of arms.

Although all the nails were removed, there was not a single hair on the fine white skin on the back of the hand, if it was not born to grow, it should have been acquired, and it seems that the deceased was very concerned about the neatness and beauty of his hands. Next is the left leg, the ankle has been completely missing, looking up, the calf is also broken, but the skin of the thigh is relatively intact, although there are some bruises from pressing and pinching, but Xiao Yi can still vaguely distinguish that at the front of the thigh, above the knee, there is a slight strangulation, that is the stockings are too tight, the traces of long-term wear, as for the specific stockings, Xiao is also difficult to distinguish.

At this time, among the physical evidence that the police were putting away, a pair of high heels caught Xiaoyi's attention, it was a new limited edition of AngelBeats, a pair of beautiful black high heels, Xiaoyi heard the girls next to him talk many times during class, and had a deep impression.

Based on the above findings, Shino also preliminarily determined that the deceased was a young woman, or a young woman with a dressophile. It's a pity that this clue is worthless to the police who got the head in the first place, but Xiao Yi knows very well in his heart that no matter whether the deceased is a man or a woman, the murderer is an extremely lustful and cruel pervert.

Xiao Yi silently left the scene, and at the same time comforted himself in his heart-

Good thing I'm not a woman, and I'm not a cosmipathy......

For some reason, a trace of worry about Xue Yi seemed to gradually float in my heart.

……

The morning air is as fresh as it is after the rain.

As soon as he got up, Shino was as usual, and after washing, he took his meal card and change keys and went out to school. It's just that the landlord aunt of the community, when she meets herself, her eyes that seem to be smiling are very concerning.

You usually greet me, huh? What's going on today? Shino suddenly remembered that the last time he saw this expression, the landlord had raised the rent.

Xiao couldn't help but palpitate in his heart, maybe he would have to save money next.

Didn't go far.

At the intersection not far ahead, there was the sound of men scolding loudly and hitting hard objects.

Do you want to take a detour? Shino thought about it, he wanted to avoid it, because he heard that the voice was from the owner of the bun shop, and the boss was grumpy, so Shino could guess what was going on.

……

Let's go check it out, it's a big deal to be hungry all morning.

"Let you steal! Let you steal! "The boss took a broom and hit the boy who was cowering on the ground hard." Let's see if you dare to steal next time! ”

Xiao also can see that every time the boss hits very hard, it can be said that every blow is a heavy hand that intends to make the other party's skin open. But the boy on the ground was unharmed, and there were only red marks on his skin that resembled a slap.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" The boy's voice was small, almost faint like breathing.

"Boss?" The broom was suddenly grabbed, and the boss looked behind him in surprise.

“？！”

"Can you let him go? How much did he steal, and I pay for it? ”

Xiao also asked cautiously, for fear that the other party would not agree.

"It doesn't matter what happens, I just can't get used to this kind of person!! Good hands and feet don't work, and they come to steal my things? The boss said angrily.

"Even if I see someone who lacks arms and legs, I am willing to send a few buns." After speaking, the boss suddenly pointed to the boy. "But you! What qualifications do you have to be lazy?! People like you! You deserve to starve to death! ”

When the young man heard this, his face looked a little aggrieved, but he didn't squeak, just silently held his head, for fear that the boss would continue to beat him.

"......" Shinoya was choked by the boss, he was not easy to refute, and he couldn't refute it.

The broom was raised high again.

"You dissipate your anger first, and people like him will be collected by the chengguan and sent to the juvenile detention center. You can do it today, let him go, how much will I pay? Xiao Yi once again stopped the boss who was about to beat someone.

"Three cages."

"Huh?"

"Three steamed buns, a total of one hundred and two."

"......" Xiao also began to regret standing up for him, thinking that a dozen yuan could solve the problem, but he didn't expect to spend so much. Did this kid eat it all alone? Shino couldn't help but look at the boy.

The boy wore shabby short sleeves and large trousers, and although he looked thin, his muscles seemed to be very strong. His lower abdomen was flat, and he couldn't tell that he had so many buns.

"It's one hundred and fifteen." Shinoya took out all the change. "There are five more pieces, will I give you another time when I come to buy buns?"

"Forget it, don't want those five pieces." The boss accepted the money, glared at the boy on the ground, and yelled. "Why don't you get out of here?!" Then he turned around and walked back to the store.

Everyone didn't see it, and when the boss turned his back to the crowd and left, he sighed helplessly.

The boy got up from the ground and whispered thanks to Shinoya.

Shino didn't care, but looked at his wallet and worried.

What to do? It's the rhythm of starvation for three days.

Suddenly, the right side of his face was lightly touched, and the touch seemed to be a soft nose and moist lips.

Xiao Yi hurriedly came back to his senses, and was surprised to find that it was the young man who had just tiptoed and kissed him.

After that, the boy trotted all the way and disappeared into the alleys of the street.

And Shino was still stunned, staring blankly ahead.

The car on the side of the street suddenly sounded, and Shinoyi, who had come back to his senses, reached out and touched the place where the boy kissed his face......

……

Forehead......

Why is it all meat wrapped oil?
