In the pouring rain, a figure was standing in the distance, in the direction we came. This person is very strange, although it is far away, I can roughly visually tell his height, at least more than 1.9 meters, and his shoulders are also very broad, like a man. However, he was wearing a bright red dress, and the high heels on his feet were as red as blood.

He was facing me in the direction, his head bowed, and his long hair was scattered in front of him, down to the lower half of his body, and the hair covered his face tightly. He stood bent over, his hands drooping weakly, and the rain drenched him all over, but he stood there motionless.

After I noticed him, he finally turned around slowly, his posture was very strange, as if the bones of his whole body were broken, and every movement was very difficult.

"Zhao Da! Go downstairs and chase! I turned around and yelled at everyone in the room, Zhao Da reacted quickly, and immediately rushed down with people, and when I turned around, the red figure was gone. I leaned out a little more, and it was still some distance from the corner, and I turned my head less than two seconds before the man was gone.

It was at this time that Zhao Da rushed out of the house with people, and without the slightest hesitation, they rushed in the direction I pointed. It wasn't until they came around the corner and I couldn't see them anymore that I turned back to the house. Lao Zhang was still shaking his granddaughter vigorously, calling "Xiao Nan" in his mouth, but she didn't react at all.

I was a little damp and it was getting darker, so I found the light in my room and turned it on. The moment the lights came on, the woman and the little girl lying on the ground woke up at the same time, Lao Zhang was overjoyed, hugged his granddaughter and cried: "Xiao Nan, baby! ”

Shen Nuo and I also breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay, but the next voice we heard made all of our hearts feel cold. We heard a series of very soft smirking laughs, the sound was very small, but all three of us heard it, especially Lao Zhang, whose shoulders shook a few times.

Because that string of strange laughter came from the mouth of Xiao Nan in his arms......

A flash of lightning and thunder outside the balcony drowned out all the sounds in the room, and the electric light suddenly went out, and Lao Zhang had already let go of Xiao Nan in fright. Lao Zhang sat on the ground, retreating behind him in horror, and Xiao Nan sat straight, with a very strange arc raised at the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Nan's mother was also frightened, she even crawled behind us, and so did Shen Nuo, who actually grabbed my hand. At this moment, I am the only one who can keep my composure, in the light of lightning, I can see Xiao Nan's face clearly, her face is hideous, her face is full of disdain and ridicule, and her two eyes, although godless, are staring at me directly.

This kind of expression is not at all something that a seven or eight-year-old girl can make, and the sly laughter in her mouth is more like the voice of an adult woman. Two words flashed through my mind: sleepwalking. Only psychiatric sleepwalking can make a young girl exhibit such abnormal behavior.

When I met sleepwalking patients, I could wake them up softly, and I was about to step forward when Lao Zhang pulled me back. Another explosion thunder sounded, and Lao Zhang trembled and told me that Xiao Nan was ghosted, so let me not get close. I was about to say something, but Xiao Nan suddenly stood up from the ground.

She bent over, her head bowed, her hair fell forward, covering her face, I was stunned, this posture, and the person in the red dress just now, like. Xiao Nan's mother was already crying, and she slowly crawled out of her mouth shouting in a dialect I didn't understand.

But after a while, there was a scream outside, and I immediately rushed out, only to see that Zhao Da and the others had already returned, and they were all dripping with water, very embarrassed. Zhao Da had already helped Xiao Nan's mother up, and he glanced at me: "What's wrong with her, why is she scared like this?" ”

She ...... "I just spit out the first word, and I saw that the faces of Zhao Da and those criminal policemen suddenly changed, and they opened their mouths wide and looked at me in horror. I felt that a cold little hand was holding my fingers, and I subconsciously looked sideways, and Xiao Nan didn't know when she had come to my side.

She was still hunched over, her head bowed, and her hair was so disheveled that I couldn't see her face clearly. Her little, trembling hands ran through her black hair and grabbed one of my fingers. I frowned, trying to pull away Xiao Nan's hair, but she suddenly raised her head. Xiao Nan let out a long and terrible scream from his mouth, and his eyes widened, which frightened everyone, even me, felt a tingling in my scalp.

After a while, Xiao Nan suddenly closed her eyes, and I hugged her before she fell to the ground. After a few gentle pats on his face, Xiao Nan woke up again, only this time, Xiao Nan's face returned to the innocent expression that a child should have. Xiao Nan was very well-behaved, and when she saw me holding her, she asked me politely in a childish voice.

I breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Nan finally woke up, I handed Xiao Nan to her mother, but her mother shook her head vigorously and didn't dare to take it. Helplessly, I handed Xiao Nan to Lao Zhang again, Lao Zhang looked at Xiao Nan in my arms, swallowed his saliva, and finally reached out to take it.

After Xiao Nan called his grandfather, Lao Zhang finally put his mind at ease and hugged Xiao Nan tightly in his arms and cried.

"Captain Zhao, how's it going?" I immediately asked Zhao Da.

Zhao Da and they were still frightened by Xiao Nan's strange performance just now, I asked twice in a row, and Zhao Da came back to his senses. Zhao Da said that they chased them out of the alley and found nothing, and he asked me what I saw. I told him what I had seen.

When everyone heard this, they were inevitably frightened, one of the little criminal policemen said that there must be a ghost, Zhao Da stuffed the pistol into his arms, and after hesitating a few steps, Zhao Da asked me: "Professor Li, you see, today we heard the sound of ghosts crying, and you also saw the thing in red, this ......"

Professor Lee...... Xiao Nan, she was ghosted! "Lao Zhang also responded behind me, fear enveloped the whole gloomy house, every time there was a thunder outside, everyone would look around, as if they were afraid of seeing something unclean.

"Captain Zhao, do you know why Xiao Nan didn't die?" I asked Zhao Da rhetorically, Zhao Da was stunned, I asked others again, and no one could answer my question. I pointed to the little red clothes that were still on the ground and explained to the crowd: "Because the murderer is too late!" ”

When he came in, Xiao Nan's clothes were rolled up, this was because the murderer was unwilling to give up his usual modus operandi, he wanted to take off Xiao Nan's clothes and put red clothes on her. As I expected, the murderer didn't have time, so he was still in the room when we came up.

The ghost cry we heard at the door of the room was definitely deliberately created by the murderer, so that we would not dare to go in so that we would have enough time to escape, and the route he escaped was from the balcony. The house is not high, and the balcony is only about three meters from the ground, and the person can jump from the balcony completely.

When we entered, we heard the crunch of the man jumping from the balcony and his shoes falling to the ground.

All of this was analyzed immediately after I heard Zhao Da say that Xiao Nan was not dead, and when I got out of the balcony, the existence of that person confirmed my conjecture.

After listening to my analysis, Zhao Da felt reasonable, but he immediately pointed at Xiao Nan again and asked her what was going on with her strange behavior just now. I said I'm not sure either, it's a bit like sleepwalking. Xiao Nan's mother suddenly pointed at Xiao Nan and said intermittently: "She, she doesn't have this disease......"

Xiao Nan's mother has a strong accent, and it was not easy for me to understand what she said. Lao Zhang suddenly put Xiao Nan on the ground, pointed at the woman and scolded, the content probably said that the woman didn't care about Xiao Nan at all, and this time she almost brought disaster to Xiao Nan. Lao Zhang asked the woman to get out immediately, Xiao Nan's mother was scolded and cried, and turned around to leave.

Zhao Da was quite smart at this time, and immediately pulled the woman down, saying that he had to go back to the police station to record a confession before leaving.

It was raining heavily outside, Lao Zhang took out two umbrellas from home, Lao Zhang hugged Xiao Nan, he had to hold one, and the other gave everyone to Shen Nuo and Xiao Nan's mother. After coming out, Zhao Da knocked on the door from door to door and asked them if they had seen people in red clothes coming in from the alley, and everyone said no.

And when the man fled, it was already raining heavily, and no one was standing on the balcony anymore, so no one saw the man.

We huddled in the car for a while before we drove back to the police station. When he returned to the office, Zhao Da relaxed, and he thanked me for not letting a new murder happen. I smiled bitterly, the murderer is in the dark, we are in the light, even if we have the ability to reach the sky, there is no way to prevent it 100%.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, the murderer hit Lao Zhang with the idea, which gives us a chance to prevent the homicide, if he wants to kill someone casually, we have no way to stop it. Zhao Da gave me a towel, and I angrily wiped off the rain, this time, I was just close to catching the murderer.

If I had thought in advance that the murderer would jump off the balcony and let people guard it, maybe the murderer would have been arrested by this moment.

Lao Zhang held Xiao Nan tightly in his arms, Xiao Nan's mother was sitting next to them, and a police officer was asking them about what happened at that time. The woman said that after answering Lao Zhang's call, she didn't remember anything, and when she woke up, we had already arrived.

The woman's appearance didn't look like she was lying at all, and we asked Xiao Nan again, Xiao Nan lay in Lao Zhang's arms and muttered: "I remember an aunt in red who crawled out of my belly......"
