cry of a butterfly

It wasn't until the host's sons and daughters went upstairs after saying "good night" that the uninvited guest had a chance to discuss the case with the other party.

Before Chu Hua asked what was on his mind, Compo nodded at him seemingly comprehendingly, "Follow me."

The long silver windows that were tightly closed when the sun was shining were finally opened for people, and the moonlight and the singing of nightingales came together.Even so, the candlesticks were not completely dyed, the oil lamps were still dry, and this labyrinth-like long corridor with twists and turns from time to time was still extremely dark.

This promenade, which he had explored part of during the day, seemed to have been given a new definition under the leadership of Compo.The red bricks of some ages have a different three-dimensional effect, and the angels on the reliefs overlook all living beings, and the naked girl holding a rosary bows to say hello to everyone who comes.

The young police detective, who has pretty good night vision, also finds it difficult to see things. It is conceivable that this place is enough to induce night blindness in any ordinary person.However, Chu Hua found that Compo, who was in front of him, seemed to be completely unaffected by his sight.Perhaps it was because his eyes had already conquered the darkness, or maybe it was because he knew the place well, the man with the cane walked slowly and gracefully as usual.From time to time, it explains the almost invisible furnishings and reliefs with a strong religious atmosphere.

He couldn't help being slightly surprised.

The man who had always turned his back to him suddenly said, "Hunger responds."

"what?"

"Under extreme starvation conditions in mammals, individuals will undergo a series of changes to maintain the homeostasis of the body's internal environment. Biologically, this metabolic response that induces autophagy in cells is called the 'starvation' response." As if he could read minds, Compa paused slightly, "In other words, if a person spends a long time in the dark, his muscle tissue will gradually degenerate, and his vision will far exceed that of ordinary people. In short , the night will be as bright to him as the day."

"Then does it say in biology?" Feeling as if he had returned to the Middle Ages, Chu Hua shifted his eyes from side to side and said, "This place is too quiet and weird. People who stay here for a long time will definitely go crazy."

"In fact, my third wife and I moved here just to avoid going crazy." Compaq laughed self-deprecatingly, and then said, "She has very severe depression and cannot bear the erosion of any worldly noises. , so I tried every means to keep her isolated from the world, and finally bought this manor."

"But she was completely mad, wasn't she? According to the documents, she jumped from the bell tower to end her own life?"

"Poor woman." The man's voice sounded understated and without mercy.

"The woman related to you is either dead or crazy, so can I understand that?" Chu Hua began to try to bring the topic to the case, "You are quite unbearable?"

"If I didn't kill them, maybe it can be understood that way." Compa smiled, then stopped and pushed open a door that Chu Hua had never seen.

From another way, he took him into the study again.

"Would you like one?"

The guest made a "please" gesture, and the host sniffed the cigar in his hand, then lit it and bit it into his mouth - he really looked like those skinny and puffy beauties in the fashion circle .

Compo sat behind the desk, put his silver cane on one side, and crossed his legs.He saw the clay mask broken in two.

Turning the cigar between his fingers while stroking it with the other.For a long time, his eyes were affectionate and sad, and his gestures were tender and reluctant.

Chu Hua couldn't help feeling awkward.Some even came to believe that the King of Cyprus who fell in love with the statue was indeed a real person.

The face on the mask was too similar to himself, and with Compa's caressing gesture, he seemed to feel the pale and slender fingers touching his face directly - eyebrow arches, eye sockets , the bridge of the nose, the corners of the lips... the places touched by it are rapidly heating up like a prairie fire.

"This place..." Breathing became difficult, and Chu Hua tugged at his collar uncomfortably, "It's hot?"

"Maybe it's because you drank alcohol." The host stopped his hands, raised his eyes to his guests, and said with a slight smile, "The mixture of wild raspberry juice alleviates the effect of alcohol. It has rich bubbles and an incredible taste. But it has plenty of stamina.”

It was definitely an alcohol problem.

"You also think your housekeeper is a murderer?" Chu Hua decided to go straight in while he was still awake. "But he is a coward at all. How could a perverted murderer pee his pants when the police broke in?"

"It's easier for timid people to go crazy about love. He is obsessed with my wife." Compo leaned back on the leather chair in a comfortable posture, spread his hands and said, "Out of jealousy and revenge, he killed my mistress , which is understandable."

"Why are you so sure he's infatuated with your wife?"

"He stole her underwear, quietly placed a pinhole camera in her bedroom... Of course a husband will know that someone is coveting his wife, this is the instinct of all male creatures in nature."

"Then why didn't he abandon the corpse in the wilderness, there are desolate groves near your manor." The young police detective stood vigilantly some distance away from the male owner.He put his hands in his pockets pretending to be relaxed, but restrained himself from Surrey's fancy and attractive appearance.The concentrated gaze is like a kindling stick, waiting for the opponent's mistake to ignite the explosive gunpowder, "The twelve girls in the same corpse wine cellar were treated differently. Some of them were treated very cruelly." some were sexually assaulted, and some were not. There were traces of soil on the hair and skin of several corpses, indicating that they had been buried and then dug up. Why would a murderer do so much?"

"Conquering women is an innate script of violence for every man. Collection can satisfy that narrow vanity better than burying it." Compaq paused, squinting his eyes in doubt, "Are you okay? Look It looks like a tomato just about to ripen."

"I'm fine... just a little hot..." Her fair face began to flush, and even though Chu Hua was so hot that her mouth was dry and her body was uncomfortable, she still hooked the corners of her mouth pretending to be relaxed.Keeping his eyes on the other party, the young police detective who is very good at observing tries to find clues on the other party's face that "the two masters and servants are working together". He said, "Maybe Reading is just a scavenger...he is like Like the ants following the aphids, clean up the mess for someone and drive away the danger."

"It's possible." But this pale and beautiful man didn't show the slightest change in expression, and the way he slowly puffed out his cigar was still elegant and determined. "He's still at large. When you catch him, you can ask him."

"There is only one servant in such a large place?"

"I hate being disturbed, I like absolute privacy. Occasionally, nearby farmers will come to find some good paying idle work, but most of the time there is only Erin here."

"Is she dumb?" I couldn't help stretching out a hand to unbutton the upper part of the shirt, but there was still a vest lining inside, which was useless at all.

"When the vocal cords are damaged, you can't speak."

"Can she write?" Chu Hua stretched his hand under the vest and lifted it up to reveal his firm and sexy belly——

Still hot.

"Not much—you really have no problem?"

"Don't digress—the report shows that your maid found something wrong with the wine cellar and called the police. You don't mind if I ask her a few questions while you're not there?"

"You're welcome." Compa smiled generously, and added, "But not today, you still make her feel dangerous—once she bit one off to borrow money from me but said Out of a poor farmer's ear. I think you know what I mean."

Chu Hua recalled unhappily that he was actually held against his spine by a woman with a gun!

It's getting hotter.

Compa fully saw that something was wrong with the other party, put the cigar in his hand on the ashtray, and stood up leaning on his cane.walked towards him slowly.

"This case will not come to light for a while...I think I should go..." The young police detective saw the other party approaching him, and wanted to change to a slightly more serious and upright posture to show that he resisted such approach, In the end, he was still hugged by the other party.

This man smelled of alcohol, tobacco, and perfume intertwined, and the arched lips were close to the enchanting corners of the lips that curved upwards.Just looking at each other with these dreamy light-colored eyes, Chu Hua felt that all his efforts to restrain the effects of alcohol had been wasted.The stamina of the sweet sparkling wine was getting stronger and stronger, his internal organs began to heat up, but his palms were inexplicably cold.

He was sitting in the fire, and someone was blowing the stove.

Chu Hua had a premonition that he was about to lose control, and he would start to take off his clothes to return to the most primitive state of human beings; he would twist his buttocks or spread his legs; he would long to be fucked hard.

The young detective immediately thought of his lover.When Han Xiao was alone with him, the other party would sometimes encourage him to drink some wine.Because in this way, I will cooperate with him in various positions - as long as he wants, as long as he gets hard, he can fuck him all night long.

"You seem to be being roasted by the fire, but the temperature on the body surface is dropping rapidly. You want to run away, but you are afraid." The long and soft eyelashes are woven in front of the eyelids, and the eyes are focused and frightening, without any rhythmic rhythm The voice was still laughing, "Why?"

"Maybe it's because I'm so similar to Cinderella. When twelve o'clock strikes, all my clothes will disappear," Chu Hua said incoherently in a hurry to escape, "Maybe I'm about to show my ass!"

The young police detective failed to escape, but was supported by the other party's waist and held in his arms.

"I accepted a stranger's cross-examination and answered everything truthfully." The breath of the two blended, and their lips almost touched.He smiled and said, "But I just discovered that I don't know anything about him."

"What the hell do you want to know!" His limbs were limp and he couldn't exert any strength at all.Chu Hua could only widen his eyes and said viciously, "Do you want to know where he came from? Where is he going? Or do you want to know how excellent he graduated from the police academy? How many self-righteous perverted killers have he caught?"

"No," Compo stretched out his hand to lightly lift the other's chin, and brushed his fingers over his cheeks like velvet tenderly, "I want to know his unknown discipline and hidden disease, I want to know why there is something wrong in his eyes. shadow."

"Shit!" Chu Hua looked away uncooperatively, and replied almost without thinking, "I have no shadow."

"Everyone has a shadow." Compa shook his head, bent his face to the other's face, and said with a smile, "Maybe from an alcoholic mother, maybe from a violent father, maybe from a long-lasting nightmare, maybe From childhood abuse from which there was no escape."

"This is your way of hunting beauty?" Even though he was hugged by the other party limply, he still did not forget to carry forward the skills of his mouth, "Physical disabilities make you feel inferior, and the only way to dig out the other's scars To make others bow down? Did you do the same to your wife and those twelve women, and then waited for an opportunity to kill them one by one?"

"Whenever I see a man or a woman who makes my heart flutter, I want to win his favor, sleep with him in bed, and have skin-to-skin kisses. But I can clearly distinguish that these people are just my flesh and blood chasing."

"You want to say that your soul needs to be different?" Chu Hua, who was in a daze, cursed "shit" in his heart, and forced to ask disapprovingly, "...Have you found what you really want?"

"He imitated being a hero for others, but inside his agile and brave body, he guarded a terrible secret that could be broken at the touch of a touch." The man's eyes were charming, sincere and affectionate, and his voice was slow and extremely gentle, "He Struggling and forgetting, forcing myself to wash away the hurt caused by this secret, and even fearing that it will destroy his entire life... But these fears and worries are just the exaggeration of winter before spring. I have been waiting for him to come to me. "

"Then..." Looking at the pair of light-colored eyes close in front of him, he felt that the straight bridge of his nose rubbed against his own.His chest heaved and heaved, and the blood danced wildly in his veins. The young police detective paused for a while before asking, "...Did he come to you?"

Compo didn't give an answer right away, but just pulled the man in his arms closer to him, so that his chests were pressed against each other, and his breath was heard.

He stared intently into his eyes.Time stopped suffocatingly.

"I think so." At last he said with a faint smile, "he's here."

For a moment.

At that moment, a thought flashed through Chu Hua's mind.

Before he had time to judge the truth of this thought, his lips were sealed.

The eight-tone bell on the bell tower in the distance suddenly rang, and it was twelve o'clock.
