The elevator doors open again. The man in the hat appeared outside the elevator, still unrecognizable.

"Why don't you come out? Aren't you going to the 19th floor? ”

His voice drifted through the darkness.

"I ......"

The man did not speak again, but withdrew his hand and disappeared into the darkness again. Then she heard the sound of the key unlocking.

Maybe it's because I'm overthinking. Li gritted his teeth slightly, and stepped out when the elevator door closed again.

The elevator doors slammed shut. The stairwell was pitch black. She stomped her foot hard, but she couldn't get the lights on.

"The sensor light is broken."

The man said. Next, he opened the door to 2502 and turned on the living room light.

White light shone through the room, giving some light to the otherwise dark stairwell.

She saw where the fire escape was, walked over, opened it, slapped it, and the light in the stairwell came on, illuminating the steps downward. She was just about to turn around and say "thank you" when there was a "clang" behind her and the door shut.

The mysterious man entered the house. The stairwell was plunged into darkness again.

Without stopping, she walked quickly downstairs.

1902 home no one.

After ringing the doorbell more than two dozen times, she confirmed that the head of the household was not in the bathroom or taking a shower.

She thought for a moment, pulled out the pen and a napkin she had brought with her, wrote a note and slipped it under the crack in the door, and hung the bag of dog biscuits on the doorknob.

As mentioned earlier, only the residents of this floor can swipe the card, which should be relatively safe.

When the occupant comes back in the evening, she can see the small biscuits on the doorknob and the note she left behind.

After doing all this, she went downstairs - the elevator down did not need to swipe the card, and walked out of the unit door to the loquat tree.

There was a stocky and chubby aunt who was taking pictures of the dogs on her phone, and the dogs, visibly frightened, were barking at her. Li Weiwei hurriedly stepped forward, said "I'm sorry", untied the dog leash, and prepared to leave.

"Little girl, don't tie these beasts here next time!" Aunt Yin and Yang said angrily.

Li Weiwei, who was about to leave, suddenly stood up and looked back at her aunt.

"What did you say?"

"I said, this community is for people, not for animals."

"Why do you talk like that?"

"That's what I said, what's wrong? These lower creatures shouldn't be here. ”

Li Weiwei stopped talking. She looked at her aunt's face and clenched her fists.

"What's wrong? Not convinced? ”

"You ......"

"Li Weiwei!"

Li Weiwei was about to get angry when she heard someone calling her. When she turned around, she saw two friends waving to her on the small dirt slope of the lawn.

"Come here!"

Li glanced at the aunt slightly, and led the dog to the small dirt slope.

"I'm just waiting for you, why haven't you come yet?" The little girl who looked like a doll said.

"I'm walking my dog. Isn't it seven o'clock yet? ”

"Hurry up, my dad asked me to go back early today." Doll said.

"My grandfather too." The little fat man said.

"What's wrong?"

"It's not because of the noon incident."

Li Weiwei immediately understood.

Because of the murder, people in the community are now panicking, for fear that something will happen again. If these parents knew that their children did it, they would have to go crazy.

"Where's Justin?"

"He's still taking piano lessons, and he'll be there in a moment."

"Then you wait for me, I'll be right there."

"Hurry up."

Li Weiwei led the five dogs and quickly returned to the pet store.

She explained to Yan Ping that the customer who delivered the cookies was not at home, and she hung the things on the door. Yan Ping said thank you thoughtfully, and went to something else.

Li left the pet store and rushed to the small dirt slope again, where the four of them often gathered.

After waiting for a few minutes, the big boy from before also came.

"How?" The boy named Justin said, "I received the signal from Li Weiwei, so I quickly passed the message to everyone, everyone should have received the message." ”

In the afternoon, Li Weiwei sent the message to Justin through the reflection of sunlight on the roof, and Justin passed it to the baby-faced Lan Xiaomei, who passed it to the little fat man Hu Fei, so that there was this party at seven o'clock tonight. As agreed, they didn't tell the story.

"I heard the man died." Justin looked nervous, "I was scared all afternoon. ”

"You didn't say it, did you?"

"How is it possible, I will not betray my friends." Justin glanced at Li Weiwei when he said this, "But I think we should turn ourselves in?" ”

"I think so." It was the little fat man Hu Fei who spoke, "We are still minors, and we should not be arrested and sent to prison if we commit a crime." Besides, this time it was an accident. ”

"But there will be a criminal record." Li slightly frightened them and said, "With a criminal record, our life is over, studying, finding a job, getting married, everything is over." ”

"Then I won't get married."

"It's going to be a stain for a lifetime anyway."

"Wait, you mean, we're just pretending nothing happened?" Lan Xiaomei looked at Li Weiwei with an incredible look, "I don't agree." And even if you pretend, the police will find out. My dad said that science is so advanced that if you do something bad, the police can find out. How do you say that Chinese saying......"

"Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky!"

"Yes, that's it. I'm not in favor of hiding and running away anyway. ”

"You are an American, of course you are not afraid, if something happens, it is a big deal to return home. We're miserable. Li Weiwei said.

Everyone stopped talking.

"So what do you say?"

"I thought about it, it's okay to turn yourself in, and you don't have to come forward, just go alone and carry the whole thing down."

"Ah, how's that going to work?"

"Yes, we are all involved, how can you be guilty alone!"

"Don't say it, it's just decided, rather than everyone falling into it, it's better for me to carry the matter down alone, so that the loss can be minimized. Besides, I came up with the idea, and it has nothing to do with you. I am the main culprit. ”

"But ......"

"You usually listen to me, and this time you listen to me, okay?"

Everyone was silent, thinking about their own affairs. Perhaps, Li Weiwei is indeed the best way to do this.

"But," Li Weiwei said, "I have a wish. ”

"What is it? Go ahead. ”

"I want to catch that villain before I turn myself in. Originally, our purpose in doing this was to catch him, but now people don't catch him, but they put ourselves in it. To be honest, I'm not reconciled. ”

"We're not reconciled."

"Yes!"

"I've got your back!"

"That's good!" Li Weiwei's eyes lit up, "Let's work together to catch that dog abuse pervert!" ”

Four little hands were put together again.
