Chapter 39: The Long Gift
Everyone looked at each other for a long time, and the boy in the crowd became more and more nervous as time passed.
Li Huixi wanted to step forward and pull him out of the crowd directly, but just as he was about to act, he was stopped by his inner voice:
"Wait!"
"What are you waiting for?"
"What if he's not a trick?"
"Why don't you just let him go?"
"Do you think the group behind you will let him go easily? Finally, there is a scapegoat, will the real murderer let him go? ”
"Makes sense......"
Li Huixi's leg that he had just taken was retracted.
After a stalemate for a long time, there was still no clue, so Xue Xiao proposed to let everyone disperse first.
After all, there is no murderer to be found standing here, but it is easy to be targeted to become the next guy to die, so no one is uninteresting, and they all walk away silently.
Li Huixi caught up with the little boy in a secluded place where no one was around, but he didn't move, but just blocked his way.
Unexpectedly, the little boy was not afraid, but stood in place and stared at Li Huixi with his pitiful eyes.
This made Li Huixi a little overwhelmed, and after the two looked at each other, Li Huixi spoke:
"You killed someone?"
The little boy pursed his lips and shook his head slowly.
"Did you see the scene of the murder?"
The little boy did not respond to her words, and his body did not move.
Li Huixi knew that he had guessed correctly, such a big child did not have the ability to disguise his emotions, if it was a human being who had become a strange body, his reaction should be more natural, and the child in front of him obviously had a kind of purity that belonged to his age.
Li Huixi squatted down and looked at the thin boy in front of him, his hair was mixed with a few hairs that did not belong to him, there were a few tiny blood scabs on his face, and the black circles around his eyes were pitch black, in addition to dust, more black circles under his eyes caused by not resting well.
Li Huixi rubbed the boy's head, and his tone was no longer mixed with the meaning of the forced question at the beginning:
"What's your name?"
The boy still didn't say a word, and looked at Li Huixi very vigilantly.
Seeing that the other party didn't react, Li Huixi had nothing to do for a while, and for her, the experience of getting along with children was basically zero.
Just as Li Huixi squatted to the side and tried to get the boy to speak, but there was nothing to do, a familiar figure covered the boy's shadow.
Chen Chichi also squatted down, took out a lollipop from his pocket, handed it to the dirty child, and helped him clean up the dirty things on his face by the way.
But the kid just looked at the lollipop in front of him with some curiosity, and didn't take it.
Li Huixi was a little surprised by Chen Chichi's arrival, she thought that Chen Chichi would stay with Xue Xiao all the time, on the other hand, she didn't want Chen Chichi to come to her, because in the next week, her side would be very dangerous.
Li Huixi didn't know why the little boy didn't eat candy, thinking that Chen's "bribe" had failed.
Chen Chi quietly observed for a while, and found that he just didn't seem to have seen what he was holding, so he opened the wrapping paper of the lollipop and stuffed the candy into the little boy's mouth.
The little boy's eyes lit up at the moment when he ate the candy, and something of his age flashed back briefly in his eyes.
Chen Chi Chi took advantage of the victory to pursue, and asked the boy:
"Tell my sister, what's your name?"
This time, even though the saliva was dripping out, the little boy still answered Chen's question:
"My name is Changli ......"
With sugar in his mouth, the words of the long salute were a little blurred.
"Is it called a long salute? The length of the length, the gift of the gift? ”
Changli looked at Chen Chichi with some confusion, and after a long while, he nodded hesitantly.
"You can't read? Don't even have a surname? ”
Changli replied a few times.
Chen Chichi and Li Huixi quietly accompanied Changli to finish eating sugar, during which their faces were a little dignified, the lollipop changed from big to small, and Changli's state slowly returned to the gloomy appearance just now.
"Sister, no ......"
Chen Chichi knew that he was talking about sugar, stroked his little head again, and explained gently:
"It's called a lollipop, and it will melt away after a long time."
Changli nodded ignorantly.
"Where do you live? Let's send you home. ”
Chen Chichi thought that the murderous body had not yet been found, and it would be dangerous to let Changli go back alone, so he made a request out of concern.
was rejected by Changli shaking his head.
"But you're ...... alone"
Li Huixi immediately saw that something was wrong, so he stopped Chen Chichi's mouth, gave her a look, and went home by himself.
When the two of them walked away, Changli walked alone in the direction of home, and the two did not go far.
Li Huixi stared at Changli at the beginning because of his demeanor, since he was sure that he was not a strange body, it must be that there were ghosts in his house.
Instead of forcibly breaking in to scare the snake, it is better to follow Changli and observe quietly.
When passing through those living areas, Changli tried his best to take the path to avoid being seen, although he was young, he already had some awareness of anti-detection.
But a child is a child after all, and his methods are still too immature in Li Huixi's eyes.
Walking through a few alleys and passing through several houses, Changli finally stopped.
His home is located on the innermost floor of the living quarters, which is mostly a warehouse for storing tools, and there are few survivors living in this area.
The room in Changli's house is not very large, and there is only one window on the right side of the door.
Li Huixi and the two followed, hiding not far from Changli's house, and as soon as they landed, Li Huixi's keen sense of smell smelled a faint smell of blood.
Her instincts told her she was in the right place.
In this dim alley, Chen Chichi didn't know what was slippery in her fingers, and when she put her hand in front of her, she saw that the red warm liquid was already stained with her palm.
"Creek Creek...... You see......"
Chen Chichi's voice trembled a little, and he didn't dare to take his eyes off the blood on his hands.
However, her call went unanswered for a long time.
"Xixi?"
Chen Chichi began to feel that something was wrong, and cold wind began to pass through his ears, and he called again, but still did not get a response from Li Huixi.
An ominous premonition rose from Chen's heart.
Sure enough, at the end of the dim alley, which belonged to Changli's home, the dilapidated black wooden door opened automatically, and a child who looked exactly like Changli walked out from behind the door.
However, the smile on his face was no different from the distorted smile on the faces of those young children that Chen Chichi had seen when he was at school.
She knew very well that what she was looking at now was the murderous monster.
But her legs were limp and she couldn't run.
It's not just the oncoming trick that makes people feel frightened, the entire alley is collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even this alley is set up by this trick to confuse himself and Li Huixi.
"No, Li Huixi may not really be here......"
Chen Chichi suddenly realized this terrible fact, maybe from the moment he saw Changli, he had already fallen into the illusion set by the other party.
At this time, Chen Chi was isolated and ran to an inaccessible place alone, now thinking about why that long ceremony avoided the crowd, and why he set his home in such a remote location.
It turned out that they were all luring Chen Chi Chi over and then tortured her to death.
More and more ideas drifted through Chen's mind, and she couldn't control herself to stop thinking nonsense.
"Obviously, the most important thing is to escape...... Now I think about everything that just happened like a marquee. ”
Chen Chi Chi closed her eyes, her limp limbs ready to meet her end.
