Mr Killer Next Door

There were no toll booths and road congestion on the highway leading to the B-93 amusement park, and they arrived at their destination unimpeded.

After crossing the intersection, Jiang Yu casually navigated to a nearby parking lot.After getting out of the car and checking the time on the watch, he hurried to the playground.

There's plenty of time.

From the perspective of the outer structure, this playground has many high-altitude facilities, Ferris wheel, roller coaster, and rapids with a steep slope.

The biggest selling point of B-93 Amusement Park is a medieval castle. The scale of the building has caused several heated discussions since it was built.

There are 26 spiral staircases in the castle, which can only be climbed to the top on foot.And the 27th floor at the top can even have a panoramic view of the park.However, I heard that for some undisclosed reasons, the castle is no longer open to the public.

After getting the map, Jiang Yu only looked at a few large areas before deciding that it was necessary for him to enter the park to investigate the situation.

"You are too impatient." Emu reminded, sitting on the bench, "If you go back sooner, you may still have a chance to make love to your little lover. In this way, your useless lie can still be sent to you." Use it a little bit."

With one hand resting on the back of the chair, she fiddled with the cigarette between her teeth with the other.

There is a circle of lipstick marks on the cigarette holder.

Occasionally, a child would come to this beautiful but vicious sister out of curiosity, but in the end they all ended up crying and being stared at by her.

"That kid is smart." Jiang Yu looked at the map, "He may have already guessed something, I think, it is because he didn't confirm my real intention. Shi Huan didn't take any action for a long time, did you come to bet?—— Three days at most."

"boring."

The emu didn't bother to look at him.

"It's so cold. Well, neither the navigation nor the map has any relevant records of the Winterhold Orphanage." Jiang Yu refolded the map according to the creases, "I think we have to go in and have a look."

"I'm not going." Emu leaned back, naturally spread her legs, and took a puff of nicotine enjoyment.She withdrew the smoke from her lips, and squinted at a little slug who didn't know what to do, "There are more brats in it, and it's even more disturbing to watch."

The little slug suddenly howled, and the puppet in his hand fell to the ground.

Jiang Yu hastily hugged him in front of him and coaxed him softly.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. Look, your puppy is here. It hasn't shed any tears yet, are you still crying?" Jiang Yu felt relented when he saw the child crying, so he had to pick up the doll and go there. With his palms stuffed, the child held back a smile and whispered, "I'll tell you a secret. If I start crying, my sister will be angry."

The child lay in Jiang Yu's arms, held back his crying and began to hiccup.

"I'm lost." Jiang Yu shrugged helplessly, "You made yourself cry, why don't you come..."

"...disappear from my eyes immediately." Emu gave him a fierce look, and cut off the cigarette on his fingertips, "Don't let me see you again until you find something."

Jiang Yu smiled and pushed the boy to her, then got up and left.

***

The information revealed from the conductor and the doorman is not much, but it is quite useful.

The time when this amusement park was built coincides with the time when the Winterhold Orphanage was moved here, so the location can basically be confirmed.

There is indeed an old orphanage site in the B-93 park that has not been demolished. Jiang Yu asked the reason. The other party's reason was that since the land use right is not in the hands of the park, the amusement park cannot make arbitrarily asserted claims.It can only be separated by gardens and green belts, and it is marked that no entry is allowed.

However, Jiang Yu didn't have time to ask where the garden was.

The internal structure of the B-93 Amusement Park is also shown on the map, which is divided into four major areas.

One-way passage from Fairy Tale Island to the Great Karst Cave, this area is next to the water embedded lake area.Finally, there is a sci-fi experience area full of futuristic atmosphere.

Fairy Tale Island is full of small amusement facilities open to children, such as carousels, go-karts, and the brave track with improved safety measures.

The little white horses, carrying the children in the saddle, spin, rise, and weave among the falling lights.

A boy hugged the pony's neck, swung his arms vigorously, and waved to his parents, with laughter and laughter floating around like catkins.

The roar of the engine came from the karting area in the distance.The vegetation is so lush there that you can't see the scene on the track.

And near the fountain, there is a lonely flower shop.

The clerk was a young girl with braided hair.Wearing a felt hat and a beige suspender skirt, she was pushing a small cart in her hand.

There are layers upon layers of bouquets on top.

These flowers seem to have just been pruned, with buds waiting to be released, full of vitality.

Jiang Yu picked up a bouquet of bright and beautiful red roses and looked at them.

The wrapping paper of the bouquet of roses is quite eye-catching, with dense letters printed on it, and the decorative eucalyptus leaves and baby's breath are dotted with fiery red.

At such times there is no shame in thinking of one's lover's lips.

Especially when the corner of his mouth was cut, when the young man begged for mercy falsely, his lips turned into a blood-soaked thorn, clutching his heart that was about to break his chest.

"Hello, sir." The girl smiled at him. "Would you like a bouquet of flowers? These are just cut, and they are the prettiest flowers in the garden. Your lover will love them."

"Thank you, it is my greatest luck to meet you today." Jiang Yu smiled and replaced the bouquet of flowers, "Can I ask you something?"

The girl never expects a client to come to her for a conversation: "Ah, I haven't worked here very long. But go ahead."

Jiang Yu gently held the bouquet, smelling the faint fragrance.

"—Is there any garden here? Next time, I want to take my lover to see it."

"There is a garden near the castle. However, it has been blocked, and you may not be able to enter it."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you know the approximate location."

"I have a little impression." The girl thought carefully for a while, then raised her finger to point in a direction, "In the west—"

Her instructions did not finish.

Before the last word came out, Jiang Yu's cell phone rang untimely.

He held Qiangwei firmly with one hand, and hurriedly took the phone out of his pocket with the other.He looked down and quickly apologized to the girl.

"Excuse me, kind lady. It seems that there is an additional emergency contact, but thank you for your enthusiasm today."

Under the bewildered gaze of the girl, Jiang Yu quickly left Fairy Tale Island and connected the phone.

Before he could speak, lawyer Jiuya's anxious panting came from the other side of the sound amplifier hole.

[Mr. Jiang, something happened to your family.Come back quickly. 】

***

It's a mess.

All the drawers were opened, whether it was useless documents or toolboxes, they were all thrown to the ground by the rummagers.

Dr. Cedric was lying dying on a corner of the sofa. He was still alive, but the severity of the wound obviously did not allow him to wake up easily.

Jiang Yu seemed to understand who did all of this, and only who could do it.

"Where is Shihuan?" Jiuwu looked tremblingly at the silent owner, "He's gone, Mr. Jiang, I can't find him no matter what!"

Jiang Yu didn't say a word, just looked down at the plastic bag in the corner.

There are a lot of snacks and drinks in the bag.It can be seen why Lawyer Jiuwu came here.

But what the lawyer didn't expect was that when he entered the corridor of the rental house, he saw a wide open door—a rush of uneasiness invaded the lawyer's heart, and he was afraid that something might happen in the house.

What greeted this visitor was a messy place, an unconscious man on the sofa.

Dr. Cedric's injuries were quickly and properly treated.Hisaya cut off the last bandage, closed the medical box, his face was pale.

He didn't know who else to turn to for help now.

Except for Jiang Yu, there is no one trustworthy in his address book.

"Is it D? Did he take Shihuan away?" The lawyer's hands were convulsed, "Mr. Jiang, you know, you know that the consequences are unimaginable-Shihuan's mental state is very bad now, they will let him Forever!"

"I know. It is because I know that the only thing I am sure of now is that the person who took him was not D——Calm down, Lawyer Jiuwu. The doctor is still alive, this is the best proof." Jiang Yu patted the other party's As soon as he lowered his head, he saw the bloody ashtray in the trash can.He sighed and walked into the living room, "Hurry up and take Dr. Cedric to the hospital, I'm not sure if this will leave sequelae."

"What should I do next? How are you going to find Shihuan?"

"Don't worry, I will take responsibility."

As if afraid of Jiang Yu's possible negative emotions, Lawyer Jiuwu bit his lip and nervously observed the other party's emotional details.

"Mr. Jiang, Shihuan is a good boy, don't feel disgusted with him because of this kind of thing. He just doesn't know what is right..."

"I won't think too much about it." Jiang Yu interrupted the lawyer impatiently, "Hurry up. This is a human life."

Lawyer Jiuwu looked at the resolute Jiang Yu, then looked down at Dr. Cedric, and hesitantly did so.

After driving away the nagging guests, the owner of the room didn't say a word.

He carefully placed Qiangwei on the shoe cabinet, and closed the door behind him.

The last guest left only a broken road before leaving.

The traces of walking extend all the way from the living room, and the table lamps, ceramic dishes and fragile objects are all broken, as if deliberately venting anger at these still lifes that will not fight back.

And the door that the wreckage finally leads to is only a cover.

Facing the living room, on a desk covered in knife marks, there is a laptop.

And a nearly smashed USB stick.

When his eyes touched the small metal fragment, Jiang Yu suddenly had the illusion that it was a part of his own bone, so sharp that it could cut flesh and blood bit by bit.

Because of the pain, because he was choking his breath, his heart twitched for no reason.

***

Jiang Yu was lying on his back on the sofa, and there was a puddle of blood around the armrest.

He looked at the ceiling in a daze, hesitated with his fingertips, and still pinched the wet cigarette end.

Smoke rings spread to the ceiling layer by layer.

He didn't even have the strength to tidy up the room.

Shihuan must be angry, otherwise there is no way to explain the child's behavior - but where did he go?

Where will the little bird, who has just escaped from the breathless cage and obtained happiness and a future, fly to?

Why didn't you leave a letter, why didn't you even get through the phone.

May be hated, may be hated, or may never be able to meet guesses like ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.

Jiang Yu tried to relieve this obsession with a sip of nicotine.But the black-and-white movie hadn't finished yet, and there was less than half of a bag of potato chips left on the coffee table.

In the empty rental house, there is only sobriety and pain.

The zipper of the coat was too obstructive, Jiang Yu couldn't finish it after pulling it several times, he couldn't wait, he wasn't in the mood to find the reason.Therefore, he threw off his coat on the ground in annoyance, and wrapped the unlined clothes around his body tightly.

Jiang Yu picked up the rose on the shoe cabinet and walked outside against the cold wind.

Standing alone in the corridor for more than ten minutes, Jiang Yu lost his direction like a homeless animal. He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know how to restore his deceived heart.

When he stood in a daze for a long time, and finally raised his eyes to notice the door next door, the expression on his face once again flashed intolerable.

His lips opened subconsciously, but they were pinched anxiously by his index finger and thumb, and the dry and cracked dead skin seemed to be able to cut his fingertips at any time.

Jiang Yu stepped forward, but his fingers were stuck in the air.

The door didn't close, it just opened with a slight push.

The bouquet in his hand fell to the ground.

His heart almost shrank into a ball.

The house was cleaned very cleanly, reminding Jiang Yu for no reason that when he first moved here, the living room was like this.Old sofas, coffee tables, painted wallpaper, and furniture are always covered with a thin layer of dust, and there is no trace of habitation.

The two floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony drew the curtains.

Through the gap, Jiang Yu could vaguely see the glow of the sunset rising outside the railing, which was half a person's height.

The cirrus clouds intertwined with the ticking of the wall clock, raising confetti all over the floor.

With a ray of twilight, Jiang Yu suddenly saw clearly a photo placed on the cabinet.

It was a group photo, which should be a pair of siblings.The main tone of the photo is the color of winter snow and ginkgo.Among them, the elder sister who is sitting upright has silky white-blonde hair, smiling at people as if through endless time.

He picked it up and looked at it in disbelief, his eyes fixed on the boy's face stubbornly.

He didn't know why, but he just watched, and only used his eyes to trace the curvature of his lips and nose, but his cheeks suddenly became moist.

Those shadows that took root in the memory and continuously absorbed nutrients receded.

There was a dull pain in his head.

The clock ticked.

The dust under the light danced into candle flames.

The flying confetti curled up to itch and gathered into tiny needles.

In an instant, the shattered mirrors began to recover—one piece after another.

Those cobweb-like cracks were reassembled, and they gradually glued together into the shape in memory, interweaving the smiling face that was erased and almost forgotten.

That child, that child whose appearance is always unclear in memory...

He suddenly realized that everything that had been concealed was about to be revealed.

On the night of the attack, why did Qiu Shihuan change his mind, why didn't he choose to kill him, why did he let him go after seeing those paintings.

Because of the content of the painting.

Because what I draw is nothing but the reflection in my dream.

And these dreams...

Jiang Yu gasped violently, he rushed to the balcony desperately, and threw open the curtains.

As if about to drown in the rapids, he clung to the handrail, screaming like an antelope about to be torn apart by a lions.The body convulsed and curled up in the pain of the head, the knee completely lost its fulcrum, and fell limp.

He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe, he just felt like he was going to jump off.

The clenched hands smashed to the ground, Jiang Yu bit the flesh on the back of his hands and tore fiercely, barely stopping the trembling.

He raised his head, his eyes were almost blinded by the setting sun in the distance.
