Chapter 7: Scarlet Letters
"Mom, we just went around the neighborhood and didn't really do anything. You see, didn't my sister and I go home safely? Mo Zhefan sneered.
"You're embarrassed to say it! If it weren't for Xiao Lu's attendance and kindness to send you back, would you really think you were a great detective? Since you like to solve cases so much, why don't you see the two of you applying for criminal investigation and contributing to the country? Qin Peihan's eyes turned white with anger, and he didn't want to say anything to them anymore.
Seeing this, Mo Bolun hurriedly stepped forward and poured her a glass of water, and patted the woman's back intimately to comfort her: "Okay, the children are so old, and they have opinions and ideas in their hearts." As parents, we can rest assured that they are safe. ”
"Peace? They knew about the murder in the apartment opposite, but they still had to find the answer without knowing the sky. For a little curiosity, I took my parents' words as a deaf ear. If it weren't for Xiaolu sending them back and letting me hear the voice, would they still hide it from me? Qin Peihan continued to count them.
Mo Zhefan touched his nose and just wanted to refute something, but was pulled by Qin Yu by his sleeve.
"Okay Mom, don't be angry. This matter is indeed something that Xiaofan and I did wrong, and we promise that we will never mess around in the future. Qin Yu was afraid that Qin Peihan would continue to be angry, so he hurriedly took Mo Zhefan to bow his head and admit his mistake.
"Do you know why you didn't let you go out at night? Because the police issued a resident announcement, that old lady did not commit suicide at all! If you go for a walk around the murder scene again, believe it or not—"
"Mu Zhi, don't say a word, don't scare the children!" Mo Bolun hurriedly interrupted Qin Peihan's words.
Not suicidal?
Could it be that there really was a murderer hiding in the shadows, as they had guessed tonight, and had killed the old lady who lived alone?
Qin Yu's expression became a lot more ugly for a while.
"If there really is a murderer in our residential area, or something more terrifying, no one can guarantee what will happen until the police catch the real culprit. You've all grown up and you should understand what to do for your own safety. Xiaoyu, you are your sister, your younger brother is in his third year of high school, and he has to take the college entrance examination in one year. At this juncture, you can see for yourselves. After Qin Peihan said this coldly, he got up and returned to his room, not even wanting to leave them with a superfluous look.
Mo Bolun said embarrassedly: "Your mother is such a character, but she is also worried about you. When I came back tonight, I heard that the police were chasing the murderer, we live on the second floor here, the position is relatively low, you remember to close the windows and close the curtains when you go to bed at night. ”
"Hunt down the murderer?" Qin Yu and Mo Zhefan glanced at each other.
"Okay, I'll go back to the room first to coax your mother, and you can rest early." Mo Bolun touched the heads of the two of them, turned around and entered his and Qin Peihan's room.
"Sister, why don't I go to your room and sit for a while? If you're really scared, why don't we change the room back? Mo Zhefan proposed.
Qin Yu hated that iron could not be made of steel, and flicked his head: "Are you stupid?" If we change rooms, how do you review well? My previous room was a mountain backer, and the environment was very quiet, just for you to prepare for the exam. After you finish the college entrance examination, let's change it back. ”
"Then I'll go to your side and drink some milk first." Mo Zhefan didn't say a word, put his arm around Qin Yu's shoulders and came to her bedroom.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Qin Yu took him a bottle of milk from the cabinet and came out: "If you are really worried about your sister, why don't you lay the floor here?" ”
"Flooring? Are you willing to let your handsome brother sleep on the floor? Mo Zhefan took a sip of milk and deliberately teased her.
Qin Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly, and just wanted to open his mouth to scold him, but the next second there was a clear knocking sound from the window.
"Knock knock".
The rhythmic blows sounded one after another, and the hairs of the two stood up instantly, and no one dared to make any more sounds.
Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know how long it took for the terrifying beating sound to gradually disappear.
Qin Yu fell on the bed with all his strength, not daring to go over to look at the situation at the window.
However, Mo Zhefan mustered up his courage and moved forward step by step.
"Sister, I'm so nervous." Mo Zhefan glanced at Qin Yu on the bed, then closed his eyes and lifted the curtain hard.
I saw that on the originally transparent glass, there was a big blood-red word left at this moment - death!
