Chapter 491: Shadow (5)

The quiet moonlight was kept out of the blackout curtains, and nothing penetrated into the room. Also blocked out are the voices that appear and disappear from time to time.

The soundproofing of the buildings in Shang Yi Xin Yuan is very good, but even so, some sounds will still be transmitted into the room with air and objects.

Ma Jiayi's bedroom is completely quiet, and she can't even hear the sound of air conditioning and heating, nor can she hear Ma Jiayi's breathing.

She rolled over, her body rubbing against the sheets and sheets, but there was still no sound in the room.

was so quiet, but Ma Jiayi was awakened.

She seemed to realize that there was no sound in the room.

She held her breath and tried to feel her heartbeat, but she only felt the weight of her body.

Ma Jiayi became nervous, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch the pulse of her wrist.

The pulse is gone.

Ma Jiayi's mind went blank, and after a few seconds, she sat up in a hurry, got out of bed anxiously, and ran out desperately.

I have to hurry up and call Shi Juan up and tell her to call 120......

Ma Jiayi was thinking about how to deal with it, and at the same time thinking that her bad premonition had come true.

She was so anxious that when she opened the door and went out, she tripped over the soft carpet with her feet.

Ma Jiayi lowered her head and saw something under her feet......

She hesitated and bent down, groping in the darkness for the small object that had sunk into the carpet.

Be...... Makeup brushes?

Ma Jiayi was puzzled.

She shouted in hindsight, and the smart home turned on all the lights in the room.

The lights were bright, so Ma Jiayi closed her eyes uncomfortably.

She had a momentary ringing in her ears, she could barely hear her own shouting just now, and now she could only hear the piercing beep.

Finally getting used to the light, Ma Jiayi opened her eyes and stared at the colorful graffiti on the walls in shock.

It wasn't an art graffiti, it wasn't a work that Ma Jiayi saw in an art museum, but it looked like a child's scribbled lines and figures.

Ma Jiayi shook her hand, lowered her eyes and looked at the makeup brush in her hand, only then did she know that she had just stepped on a foundation brush, and her concealer brush, eyeshadow brush, and highlighter brush were scattered around her feet...... In addition to this, eyeshadow boxes, eyeliner, lipstick, lip gloss, nail polish, ...... Scattered all over the place.

Ma Jiayi looked up at the graffiti on the white wall, and it didn't take much effort to identify the colors as her cosmetics, different colors of lipstick and eyeshadow were used to draw strange robots, and the villain who fell to the ground and was killed by the robot painted her face with her liquid foundation, and scratched long blood marks with lipstick. The poured liquid foundation fell on the sofa, leaving a long smudge, and under the sofa was the lipstick that had been broken in two.

Ma Jiayi's hands were trembling.

She recognized the foundation and lipstick that were also Armani, and then looked at Givenchy used by the other villain next to her, and almost laughed angrily.

It's pretty exquisite.

Is this something that a child can do?

She felt her heartbeat again? I also heard my own heavy gasps.

She raised her feet and rushed to the guest room? Knock the door open and listen to the door panel hitting the wall? There was a loud bang.

Shi Juan on the bed was woken up? His body twitched and he opened his eyes nervously.

"Miss Ma......"

"What did you do?" Ma Jiayi asked angrily.

"What?" Shi Juan sat up? Still a little confused.

"Look at what good things you've done? Are you sick? Are you mentally ill? You lunatic! Get the hell out of here! Ma Jiayi shouted hysterically.

Shi Juan was still at a loss and got out of bed? Grab a coat next to you and drape it over your body? "Miss Ma......"

"Shut up!" Ma Jiayi interrupted her, her eyes red, "I know, I know!" You're the woman who got it, aren't you? That woman sent you, right? Scold. She already knows about me...... Get out of here! You tell that woman! Use less of this means! Don't want Jingwei to sweep her out of the house? Don't do this little thing again! ”

Shi Juan opened her mouth.

"Get out of here!" Ma Jiayi let out a sharp scream.

Shi Juan closed her mouth? Without arguing, he hurriedly put on his clothes and went out. When she left, she was still avoiding Ma Jiayi, as if she was weak in heart and like she was avoiding something dirty.

Ma Jiayi looked at her back coldly? The two rows of neat teeth that do regular whitening flashed with cold light, as if they would pounce on Shi Juan's neck at any time.

Shi Juan came out of the guest room? At a glance, I saw the mess in the living room, and I couldn't help but pause.

"Get out of here!" Ma Jiayi urging in the back? The scolding continued.

Shi Juan didn't leave, turned around and said, "Miss Ma? It's not something I did. ”

"You-"

"I've been a housekeeper for twenty years? "Shi Juan raised her voice? actually overshadowed Ma Jiayi's angry shout, "Cleaning, cooking, taking care of the elderly and children, and taking care of the sick, I have done all of these." I also took the confinement certificate last year. ”

After she said this, she slowed down her tone slightly, "I have worked for many families, and every employer has given me good reviews. If you want to misunderstand where I came from, fire me, and I can go. But you have to think that I did this kind of thing, I don't admit it. I haven't done anything like that. I don't know what you said about women or anything. ”

Ma Jiayi stood in the light, with a bleak face without makeup, looking weird and terrifying.

"Miss Ma, I haven't done anything like this. You said that if there is surveillance at home, you can look at the surveillance. I really didn't do this kind of thing, I wouldn't do this kind of thing. Shi Juan said sincerely, and asked tentatively, "Miss Ma, are you ...... Will sleepwalk? ”

Ma Jiayi wants to deny it.

"You've always lived alone, haven't you? If you live alone, you may not be able to find out. One of the children I used to care for was like that. Shi Juan said, "His parents didn't notice that he could sleepwalk, and it was always the family's pets that messed up the house." Later, the man came back from the night shift and happened to bump into him, only to know that the child would sleepwalk. The child used to not sleepwalk, and suddenly he started to have this problem......"

Ma Jiayi's heart fluttered and beat twice.

She hadn't spoken loudly in a long time. A few roars just now made her brain a little starved of oxygen.

She also felt a chill.

Although the air conditioning was turned on indoors, she came out of the bed and wore only a silk pajamas, and at this moment she felt the cold penetrate into her bones.

Shi Juan had the insight to put her coat on Ma Jiayi, "If you don't believe it, take a look at the monitoring." ”

Ma Jiayi was helped by Shi Juan to sit down on the sofa.

She looked at the dried foundation beside her, and said in a hoarse voice, "The monitoring is stored in the computer in the study. ”

"I don't know how to use a computer." Shi Juan said crampedly.

After she came out of her hometown to work, she learned a lot of skills and took a lot of certificates, but she didn't know anything about computers.

Ma Jiayi stood up and entered the study without saying a word.

The whole house is equipped with three cameras, one camera at the gate, facing the elevator outside, the other two indoors, one in the living room, which can film which room the indoor activity people enter, and the other in the bedroom.

Ma Jiayi entered the password and turned on the camera in the living room.

She moved the timeline, and shortly after she and Shi Juan entered the room separately at night, all the lights in the room were turned off, and the surveillance switched to the infrared screen, but half an hour later, the surveillance was completely black.

Ma Jiayi frowned and dragged the timeline backwards.

When the black screen passed and the picture was lit up again, the living room was already painted in a mess.

Ma Jiayi's hand holding the mouse trembled with anger, and she turned her head to stare at Shi Juan.

Shi Juan was confused, "Was it broken just now?" Still don't turn on the lights......"

'You still want to deny it?' Can't get a computer'? If you don't want me to call the police, get out of here. Ma Jiayi jumped up and smashed her coat on Shi Juan's face.

Shi Juan's face was also ugly, clutching her coat, "Miss Ma......"

She wanted to say something more, but was frightened by Ma Jiayi's slap and took a few steps back.

Seeing that Ma Jiayi was going to catch it again, the crystal nails looked like some kind of murder weapon, cutting through the air, Shi Juan hurriedly ran out.

Ma Jiayi threw Shi Juan out of the house.

She turned her head to see the messy living room and gritted her teeth.

It took a long time for her to calm down and go back to the study to turn off the computer.

She didn't call the police or clean up the living room, but went to the dressing room, and reluctantly returned to the living room, picking out cosmetics that could still be used.

She endured her temper and covered her bleak face with those cosmetics. After putting on makeup, she looked pale, her lips were pale and pale, and her whole person had changed her temperament, looking weak and pitiful.

She was a little dissatisfied with her eye makeup at this time, but the cosmetics she was taking advantage of were spoiled enough, and the best makeup she could put on now was to this extent.

She went back to her bedroom and grabbed a silk robe and draped it on. The silk fabric that fits her body outlines her curves and makes her shop around for the perfect breasts to be revealed.

She confirmed her appearance in front of the full-length mirror, and went to comb her hair again unhappily, then picked up her phone and sat on the sofa in the living room to wait.

From night to dawn, and then to the soundproof walls of the buildings could not stop the sound of people and vehicles in the morning rush hour, in this long time, Ma Jiayi brewed emotions several times, prepared a draft, and even rehearsed what she was going to say next.

Pinching the time, Ma Jiayi dialed a number on her mobile phone.

When the video call was connected, Ma Jiayi's eyes immediately turned red, and she choked up and called "Jingwei".

The man in the mobile phone screen looks like he is fifty or sixty years old, with a Chinese character face, dark skin, and looks serious and serious. He has heavy bags under his eyes, pulls the corners of his lips, sunken cheeks, and looks thin. Because the mobile phone lens was shot from the bottom to the top, the wrinkles on his neck were also photographed.

When others saw it, they probably thought he was Ma Jiayi's father.

"Xiaoyi, what's wrong?" Wu Jingwei spoke in a tone like the concern of the elders for the juniors, "Why are your eyes red?" ”

"I ...... Woo......" Ma Jiayi cried, her body trembled at the same time, and her hands also trembled, so that the funny graffiti behind her back was filmed on her mobile phone.

Wu Jingwei didn't seem to see the strangeness on the wall behind her, and continued to ask patiently, "What's wrong?" It can't be a nightmare, right? ”

"It's not." Ma Jiayi shook her head and said pitifully, "I changed an aunt before, but I didn't expect her to do such a thing." ”

Ma Jiayi gave up the plan to let Wu Jingwei find the problem by herself, turned sideways directly, exposed the wall behind her, and showed him the cosmetics scattered all over the place, "Why did she do this?" I gave her a good salary, and I was very good to her, but I was afraid that she would work the road, so I let her spend the night here. What kind of enmity does she have against me? I've never had a grudge against anyone. What if she had ...... last night What do you do to me...... I'm so scared, ......."

Wu Jingwei was taken aback.

"Jingwei, can you come and accompany me? I'm so scared right now. She's gone, but ...... I'm alone at home, I'm so scared......" Ma Jiayi cried, that crying was pitiful.

Wu Jingwei didn't agree immediately, but turned his face and looked at what was in hand.

Ma Jiayi asked timidly: "Jingwei, do you think it will ...... Could it be that your wife knows? I remember you said before that she went to the contractor to collect debts, carried a kitchen knife, and almost cut people down......"

Wu Jingwei didn't raise his eyes, and sneered, "It won't be Ali." After he said this, he looked at Ma Jiayi, "I'll come to see you later, don't be so nervous." Just lock the door. ”

Ma Jiayi squeezed her phone tightly and barely squeezed out a smile, "Oh, I know." Then you hurry up. ”

※※※※※

Zhou Wenli made meatballs, looked at the time, and went to her brother's house. She didn't expect her brother to work overtime and was not at home, only her niece and her brother's mother-in-law stayed at home.

“…… It was I who forgot to call in advance. Zhou Wenli said embarrassedly, a little cramped in front of her brother's mother-in-law, "Auntie, did you buy vegetables?" I'll put these in the freezer. I'll send a message to Ah Jun later and tell him about it. ”

"Hey, this was just done, right? If you just made it, eat it today. Fresh and delicious. Give us warmth and eat fresh. Let's freeze the rest. The old lady stopped Zhou Wenli, "You also stay and eat together at night." Ah Jun didn't come back for dinner today, and my old man went to drink his colleague's son's wedding wine, and he didn't come. Tonight, I was already two people with Nuan Nuan. Call your son too. Call him, you don't need to put these in the freezer, you can eat them today. ”

She arranged it, and praised it in a rambling manner: "Nuan Nuan used to say that the meatballs you made were delicious." Our Xiaoyue also said that you are good at cooking, especially good at cooking. Before, you also made rice dumplings for us every year. That meat dumpling, you wrapped it so well. ”

Zhou Wenli pursed her lips and smiled, then shook her head and refused: "Akai gets off work late, I'd better go back and wait for him to eat together." I'm not at ease with him alone. ”

"Such a big man...... That's fine. The old lady wanted to persuade again, but changed her mind and mentioned the New Year's arrangements, "Did Ah Jun tell you?" You're here for the Chinese New Year this year, and we'll spend it together. Don't feel uncomfortable. We don't have a daughter anymore, and we have always regarded Ah Jun as our own son. You will be our daughter from now on. Don't be so raw. ”

She saw Zhou Wenli showing embarrassment, so she said: "I said it ugly, this person will always encounter something when he is old, sick and dying." Our Xiaoyue walked easily, and she didn't drag down her family. She had a car accident when she was a child, and she was hospitalized for so long at that time, and her father and I were both employees, and I couldn't take so much time to ask for leave, and the unit was enough to take care of it, but I had to go with the old and the young, and I found several relatives to help me, so I survived that time. Both of us are very small, so we will definitely have to help each other in the future. ”

Zhou Wenli thought of the situation of the two families, and was a little gloomy.

"This year's New Year, you will spend it with us, that's all." The old lady said unobtrusively, turned her head and saw Zhou Nuan coming out of the room, and greeted with a smile, "Nuan Nuan, my aunt will have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with us for the New Year, okay?" ”

Zhou Nuan nodded, revealing a smile.

Zhou Wenli and the old lady couldn't help but laugh when they saw Zhou Nuan laughing.

"I want to eat my aunt's meatballs." Zhou Nuan suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, the two were slightly stunned.

The old lady was the first to react, nodded vigorously, and grabbed the meat balls that Zhou Wenli had just sent to Zhou Nuan, "Your aunt just made it." We'll eat tonight. ”

Zhou Wenli's eyes were red, but she just nodded, unable to say a word.

Until she came out of her brother's house, Zhou Wenli's emotions were still a little excited.

It's been a few days, and Zhou Nuan finally shows a little bit of a human appearance, can laugh, and can speak.

That's great.

Zhou Wenli only felt that the dark clouds that shrouded their house had dispersed a lot.

With excitement, she entered the community.

When the door was opened, Zhou Wenli heard footsteps coming from the stairs behind her.

The footsteps stopped behind her, as if a person had walked there and stopped.

Zhou Wenli didn't care much and turned her head, just thinking that it was a familiar neighbor upstairs, such as Xiao Fang, who happened to go downstairs and wanted to greet her.

Unexpectedly, she turned around and saw a little boy.

The boy crouched on the stairs, his hands grasping the handrails, his head against the cold railing, his eyes blazing at her.

Zhou Wenli found that the boy was thinly dressed, and he was still wearing thin long-sleeved trousers in autumn, without a coat, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The boy's unfamiliar face, she had never seen before.

Is it a new move upstairs? Why don't you wear more clothes when you come out of the house?

Zhou Wenli thought suspiciously, and when she saw the boy staring at her, she asked, "Little friend, aren't you cold?" Hurry up and go home. It's going to catch a cold. ”

The boy didn't say a word, just looked at her with his eyes open.

Zhou Wenli felt that the boy's unblinking eyes were a little strange.

She remembered a neighbor she had met as a child. The neighbor was a dozen years older than her, a fool and a madman, and his family couldn't control him, so he let him wander around the neighborhood every day and say crazy things. I thought he was a harmless person, but one day he suddenly went crazy and beat someone, almost killing an old man in the community. After that, the community was so excited that the family had to move out with someone.

Zhou Wenli remembered that the crazy neighbor who didn't know his name used to look at everyone who passed by him with such strange eyes.

Zhou Wenli opened the door quickly, entered the house, and closed the door.

She was about to change her shoes when she heard a knock on the door behind her, as if something had hit the door.

Zhou Wenli frowned, approached the door panel, and looked out through the cat's eye.

She saw the boy's face clinging to the cat's eye.

This startled Zhou Wenli.

She took a step back, flustered, not knowing how to get rid of the crazy boy outside.

After waiting quietly for a while, she hesitated and leaned over to the cat's eye to look out.

Outside, there was a deserted hallway, and the boy was nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Wenli let out a sigh, thinking in her heart, when she went to the activity center in the evening, she would ask Aunt Liu and them.

If a madman really moves in the community, it's not a matter of two families, everyone has to think of a way together.
