The soul of the ex-husband

At this time, the whole city was raining heavily.

Xiaohui is a cashier and has just finished working overtime.As she hurriedly walked to the lobby of the office building, she talked on the phone: "Are you coming to pick me up?"

"Oh! It's so annoying! It's raining so hard, even if you take a taxi, you'll get wet! And the company is so far away from home, at least 50 yuan..."

"Okay, that's how you're a boyfriend!"

When Xiaohui hung up the phone angrily, she just walked to the door. She looked at the rain curtain in the night, feeling annoyed and worried, her high heels tapping back and forth on the marble floor.

Suddenly, she spotted a jet-black long-handled umbrella leaning against the inside of the glass door. Water was still hanging on the umbrella, as if it had just been used.

From the looks of it, the owner should have just entered the building not long ago.

Xiaohui looked back into the hall.

It was nearly ten o'clock at night, and only half of the lights in the lobby of the office building were lit, reflecting the coldness of the marble.

When Xiaohui realized that there was no one behind her, she suddenly felt a little cold, and she rubbed her arms.

Then, Xiaohui looked at the black umbrella in the corner again, hesitated again and again, bit her lip, and finally walked over to pick up the umbrella, opened it, and walked quickly into the rain curtain.

Anyway, she had lost a few umbrellas downstairs in the company before, and now that she took one away, it was treated as a lost umbrella.

Xiaohui walked in the rain with an umbrella, and her destination was the subway entrance at the corner of the street.

As she walked, Xiaohui's footsteps began to speed up for some reason. Her high heels slipped several times, and she even sprained her foot at the end, but her pace did not slow down.

When passing by the subway entrance with lights shining through, Xiaohui did not stop, but continued to move forward holding an umbrella.

I don't know how long it took until she encountered a traffic light, and she suddenly stopped at the intersection, standing quietly in the rain.

At this time, a courier boy driving an electric car slowly stopped behind her.

The little brother opened his eyes with difficulty in the rain, looked at the map on the phone, looked around at the surrounding tall buildings, and then shouted at the back of the woman in front: "Beauty! There is a Tiancheng home nearby, do you know how to get there?" ?”

The woman in front was motionless, the edge of the black umbrella was extremely low.

"Beauty!" The little brother thought he didn't hear him, so he raised his voice again.

The woman remained motionless, and in the misty rain curtain, a dark silence emanated from her back.

At this time, the green light was on.

The woman seemed to come alive suddenly, and she kept moving forward at an extremely fast speed, as if she was racing something.

"Crazy..." The little brother muttered and started the electric car.

Soon, the delivery boy surpassed the woman.

However, after driving forward for a while, the little brother inadvertently glanced at the rear mirror, and found that the woman holding a black umbrella was walking less than ten meters behind him.

The little brother felt something weird, frowned, and twisted the handle again, and the electric car speeded up.

After a few seconds, the little brother subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror again, but this time, his eyes suddenly widened.

Through the rearview mirror, it can be seen that the woman is a little closer to him, less than five meters away from him at this moment.

Impossible... Impossible... How can a person who walks catch up with a person who rides an electric car.

The takeaway boy panicked, and quickly glanced at the number displayed on the control panel - 25 yards, it is absolutely impossible to keep up!

However, when he distractedly glanced at the control panel, he heard the rapid sound of high-heeled shoes hitting the ground from the side and rear, accompanied by an indescribable crackling sound, as if something had been smashed into the flesh , sounds bloody.

That weird voice was getting closer, closer... until it was close to my ears.

The takeaway boy was still driving, his face was pale, and he was out of breath. He turned his stiff eyes and looked aside.

The woman with the black umbrella walked quickly, silently walking side by side with him, the edge of the umbrella was pressed down so low that only half of her thin white neck could be seen.

The takeaway boy looked down slowly, and saw that the woman's feet had already deformed and turned inwards. At this moment, it was her two ankles that were poking the ground and walking forward.

With a loud bang, the electric car rolled over, and the delivery guy slipped and fell onto the sidewalk.

He yelled ouch, not sure if it was from pain or fear.

But before he got up from the slippery road, two bloody ankles were stuck in front of his eyes.

The takeaway boy suddenly fell silent, he was trembling, and looked up high.

Covered by a huge black umbrella, the woman was quietly looking down at him, her eyes only had whites and no pupils.

Suddenly, a misty whistling sounded from the outer wall of the Tiancheng community, and then dissipated like smoke.

***

After a night of torrential rain, the summer morning ushered in a brief coolness, but as the hot red sun rose, the accumulated water on the streets evaporated, and the whole city seemed to be put on a steamer. The mist was dense, humid and hot.

Early in the morning, the outer wall on the east side of Tiancheng Homestead was full of people.

At the place where the crowd watched, the cordon was pulled out into a rectangular area, and a temporary tent was built in the rectangular area to block the sight of the public from exploring.

An old lady squeezed into the crowd and shouted sharply: "Dead man~"

Inside the blue temporary tent, lay a dead body.

The corpse was pierced by sharp tools in many places, especially from the chest cavity to the abdomen. It is a fish whose belly has been rinsed in water again, so it looks very clean.

The young criminal policeman Shao Zhouyu stood aside, folded his arms, and said, "Did the blood of the deceased be sucked up by something as soon as it came out?"

The forensic doctor said: "Indeed, there is no sign of splashing around. This is not normal. Even if it was washed away by heavy rain overnight, there will be some blood stains on the sidewalk."

However, unlike the corpse, the ankles of the corpse were bloody.

The forensic doctor was wearing rubber gloves. She pressed the dead man's left calf. After examining it from top to bottom for a long time, she raised her head and said, "Captain Shao, a calf bone has been removed."

Just at this time, my colleague Xiao Ma came in from outside. He wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Captain Shao, the investigation is clear. The deceased was a 28-year-old employee in an office building two streets away. She came back from working overtime last night." Passing by here on the road, according to the surveillance at the intersection, a takeaway rider also passed by at the same time, and he may have seen the deceased."

Shao Zhouyu nodded, turned around and walked outside the temporary tent, saying, "Go get the monitoring and find the rider."

Shao Zhouyu opened the plastic curtain, and as soon as he saw the light, he heard a familiar female voice calling:

"Uncle Police!"

Shao Zhouyu turned his head to look among the crowd, and saw a girl crowded by the cordon, waving wildly at him.

Shao Zhouyu suddenly had a headache.

This girl's name is Tata, and she is not considered a good citizen in Shao Zhouyu's place. She often goes to the police station, and they get to know each other after coming and going.

"Uncle policeman, what happened?" Seeing Shao Zhouyu's gaze, Tata yelled directly, "I heard that a girl was killed on the way home in the middle of the night?"

Shao Zhouyu thought she was noisy, so he hurried over to send someone away, saying: "This matter is still under investigation, don't report it casually until there is no result."

Next to Tata was a young man with a video camera. Shao Zhouyu glanced at it and blocked the camera with his hand.

Tata grabbed Shao Zhouyu's sleeve and shook it shamelessly: "Uncle policeman, just reveal a little bit, even if we don't report it, sooner or later it will appear in newspapers, headlines, hot searches, and official accounts."

Shao Zhouyu remained unmoved: "That's fine, don't interfere with official duties."

Tata put her hands on her hips, very unconvinced.

Shao Zhouyu was about to leave from the other side, when he suddenly thought of something, looked at Tata, and asked, "Have you been in touch with Xiao Qi recently?"

Tata froze for a moment, then she slowly retracted her neck, and suddenly became a little timid for some reason: "Ah? What... what?"

Shao Zhouyu frowned, too lazy to play Tai Chi with her, so he told her impatiently: "Stay away from him, I have already applied to my superiors for a re-investigation of his case."

After speaking, the young criminal policeman left.

"Why?" Simon suddenly said, and said calmly from the side, "Why stay away from Xiao Qi? What case does Xiao Qi have?"

"There's so much nonsense..." Tata waved her hand, unwilling to talk to Simon in annoyance, and said, "Let's go, standing here is not an option, first go ask the nearby residents about the situation.

Tata turned around, but there was a little girl standing behind her. She didn't notice and knocked him down.

The little girl was sitting on the ground with her head buried, her black hair was soft and draped over her shoulders, she looked about eight or nine years old, she was holding a doll in her hands, and she was wearing a cotton dress that was a bit dirty and washable.

"Sister, are you okay?" Tata was startled, and hurried forward to help her.

Because of the angle, the little girl's expression was covered by her neat bangs, only her slightly pursed mouth was dry and peeling.

After the child fell down, he sat quietly on the ground without crying or making noise, which was very strange.

Tata didn't think much about it, she threw her satchel behind her and said, "Come on, get up first."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she touched the little girl's arm, the little girl suddenly raised her head and let out a heart-piercing cry: "Ahhhhhhhhhh—don't hit me! Don't hit me! Don't hit me——"

"Damn it!" Tata was so frightened that he let go, and jumped back a step.

The little girl on the ground had an eyepatch tied to her left eye, and her complexion was slightly dark. When she closed her eyes and wailed, her face turned red. The doll in her hand had platinum curly hair tied into twin ponytails, and her eyes were dark and round. There is a smile on the round face, but the whole doll is as dirty as if it was pulled out of the ashes, especially the color of the doll's face, showing a zombie-like dead ash.

It may be that the little girl's arm was too tight, and the switch hidden in the doll was strangled, and the doll immediately issued a harsh tune-changing music:

"Shhhhhhhhhhh, baby, stop talking! Mommy's going to buy you a robin, and if the robin won't sing, Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring, and if the diamond ring turns yellow Copper, mother will buy you a mirror, if the mirror..."

This is a lullaby sung from a foreign nursery rhyme.

Because the commotion was too loud, the onlookers diverted their attention from the murder scene and looked at the little girl on the ground.

Tata was particularly wronged, and tried to appease the little girl at a loss: "Sister... I said sister, don't do this, you're just touching."

At this time, an old lady pulled Tata aside and dragged her aside.

"Don't pay attention to her." The old lady squinted at the little girl on the ground, with a very unhappy expression, and said, "She lives in Building 42, and no one cares about her at home. Her mind is a little confused and she often goes crazy. You should leave quickly... "

Just as she was talking, a policewoman walked out of the temporary tent and asked sternly, "What's wrong? What happened?"

The little girl pointed at Tata and cried, "She hit me!"

"???"

Tata rolled up his sleeves angrily.

What a little bitch.

The scene of the crime was so noisy that no one noticed that a slender man in a white suit passed by, holding a long black umbrella in his hand, and walked straight to the real estate agency at the gate of Tiancheng Homeland.

The man put away the umbrella and leaned against the door. When the glass door was pushed open, the sunlight reflected light on the green emerald ring on his index finger.

***

Since Zhou Heng woke up, he has stayed at Qi's house for more than a week. After his physical condition has stabilized, he plans to take Lin Wan out to live.

Uncle Biao is responsible for the moving.

That evening, Zhou Heng finished his rehabilitation training and was pushed to the backyard to watch the sunset.

Uncle Biao came to the door at this time.

Uncle Biao first asked Zhou Heng for his opinion, and said, "Master, do you have a favorite residential area?"

Sitting in a wheelchair, Zhou Heng picked a dandelion from the grass and asked, "Where does Xiao Qi live?"

"In Yunxiang in the east of the city." Uncle Biao said, "Master, what do you mean..."

Zhou Heng held the dandelion in front of his eyes and said, "Just buy a suite there, I like it very much."

After speaking, he blew lightly on the dandelion.

As the sun set, the light shone obliquely on Zhou Heng's slightly raised profile, leaving a delicate silhouette.

Zhou Heng looked at the dandelion flying away in the wind, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he immediately felt relieved.

After flipping through the real estate information page, Uncle Biao paused for two seconds and had to say, "Master, I'm afraid it won't work."

Zhou Heng slightly tilted his head to look at the old man: "What do you mean?"

Uncle Biao truthfully reported: "Yunxiang is a wealthy area, and housing prices are too expensive. With your current financial situation, you can't afford to live there."

Zhou Heng: "..."
