poor house

Chapter 6

Wen put it back in his pocket, and the policeman put the photo away and said fiercely, "Sudden death caused by excessive adrenaline secretion. To put it bluntly, he died of fright."

"Ah?" I didn't expect this to be the cause of death at all, Wu Xie looked at the opposite policeman in surprise, "Scared to death?"

"It's not just her. The three before are also." Scratching his head irritably, the policeman stood up and shook his head at Wu Xie, "Let's call it a day. Please don't say the content of the conversation. If you remember What, contact us immediately."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Walking out of the office with the plainclothes who made notes for him, Wu Xie seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked in a low voice, "By the way, aren't they husband and wife?"

"No, that woman is a mistress." The plainclothes said without surprise.

"The women who happened before—"

"It's all the same." The plainclothes shrugged his shoulders, stood at the door, turned around and said to Wu Xie, "Didn't it all be reported in the newspapers, didn't you pay attention?"

"Ah, I forgot." He nodded to the plainclothes and was about to leave, but Wu Xie stopped when he turned around, "By the way, are the men before that all dead too?"

"No, this time it was because of a heart attack, and died suddenly after the body was discovered." The plainclothes frowned and looked at Wu Xie with a puzzled expression.

"So it means that the murderer actually specializes in killing women who destroy the relationship between husband and wife?" Finally, he came to the conclusion that the newspapers and news had drawn earlier in the morning, and Wu Xie had already determined that the prisoner must not be a human being.

"Is this another form of anti-violence and security?" Jokingly said, the plainclothes ignored Wu Xie and walked back to the building on his own.

The courtyard where several police cars were parked was shining brightly in the afternoon sun. Standing at the door and looking back at the building behind him, Wu Xie suddenly shivered for no reason.The weather is still fine, a rare warm sun in winter.Wu Xie, who was warm, only felt that his back began to break out in a cold sweat.

Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with him or not, it is certain that it will not end here.

"Wu Xie?"

Seeing the preoccupied Wu Xie walking straight in front of him, Zhang Qiling frowned, and stretched out his hand to grab Wu Xie, who was completely defenseless.

"Ah, brother, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention." Only then did he realize that he had already passed by, Wu Xie raised his head to look at Zhang Qiling, who had worried brows and eyes, and smiled softly. "Brother, I found that you always like to frown." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch the brow that was still frowning, and gently smoothed it to both sides.

Warm fingertips gently brushed over the eyebrows, Zhang Qiling grabbed Wu Xie's hand that had not been retracted, brought it to his lips and kissed the pair of fingers gently.

"This is on the street!" Scared by Zhang Qiling's sudden attack, his heart almost skipped a beat. Wu Xie blushed and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Zhang Qiling grabbed him even tighter.He looked around in a panic, fortunately this was the entrance of the police station, and there were no pedestrians coming and going.

"Wu Xie, don't worry." Zhang Qiling calmly let go of Wu Xie's hand until he saw Wu Xie blushing from his face to the roots of his ears. "Those things have nothing to do with you."

"Well, I know. It's just a little strange." After a pause, Wu Xie slowly said the question he had been thinking about just now, "Although I can't remember all the previous dreams, I still have a little impression Yes. I remember that I always foresaw it from the perspective of the perpetrator, but this time it seems to be the victim."

"Afraid?" Zhang Qiling asked calmly as he walked side by side with Wu Xie.

"That's not the case. I just feel that this feeling of powerlessness is more aggrieved than before." Shrugging, Wu Xie didn't know how to describe that feeling. "It feels like I don't know where to start if I want to get involved."

"Then just wait and see." Patting Wu Xie on the head, Zhang Qiling knew that Wu Xie's temperament would not allow him to stand by and watch.It's just that this time it's not about Wu Xie or trying to use Wu Xie's ability to dream, because Wu Xie didn't have any abnormalities when the first three cases happened.

"This is the only way to do it now. Although those women who were killed were either mistresses or mistresses, no matter what, they should not be guilty of death." Sighing, Wu Xie looked back and was about to disappear at the end of the road. The dispatcher said, "If it wasn't made by humans, then probably, it's really a grieving ghost."

Turning his head to look at Wu Xie whose expression became serious, Zhang Qiling didn't answer.If it is really a ghost, that would be easier to handle.Because ghosts often rely on resentment or obsession to stay in the human world, whether it is harmful or nostalgic, the purpose is pure and direct.On the contrary, the human heart is the most terrifying thing in this world.

"Brother Boss, are you back?" Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Wang Meng, who had watched the special report on the serial murder case all afternoon, was finally willing to take his eyes off the TV for the time being. "Are you okay?"

"It's nothing, I just asked a few words." Sitting down in front of the counter, Wu Xie looked up and saw the continuing special report on TV.The background was the dispatch station where he had just come out, and the hostess was chattering about the case that happened at noon today.

"Boss, did I really guess right?" Seeing Wu Xie's solemn expression, Wang Meng turned his head to look at the TV, and asked in a low voice, "What about the perverted serial murder case?"

"Just your crow's mouth." Glancing at Wang Meng, Wu Xie took the warm water poured by Zhang Qiling and drank it slowly. "But how did you know I would have anything to do with this case?"

"Boss, since you were with my brother, you really don't hear anything outside the window, and you only look at my face." Sticking out his tongue and seeing Wu Xie's gesture of getting angry, Wang Meng hurriedly continued, " Although it was not mentioned in the newspapers and news, I heard from my former colleagues that these dead women took wedding photos before they died. You just went out to shoot the location this morning, and the police called you at noon Now, isn't that obvious."

"Have they all taken wedding photos?" Repeating Wang Meng's words suspiciously, Wu Xie thought to himself, except that the four deceased had a mistress and mistress in common, and now they finally had a new connection.

"I don't know if they are all wedding photos. Don't the photography shops nowadays like to call it wedding photography or something." Shrugging, Wang Meng continued, "So boss, you have to be careful, in case If something happens to you again, you must not be regarded as the number one suspect."

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be anything wrong with me anymore. This time it was purely an accident." Not knowing whether he was comforting himself or Wang Meng, Wu Xie turned to look at Zhang Qiling who had been standing beside him, feeling relieved took his hand.Before he could say anything, the phone in his pocket vibrated violently.

"Hey, Xiao Wu? Are you home yet?" It was still Boss Li of the photography shop.

"Just arrived home, what's wrong?" I prayed in my heart that nothing would happen again, but Wu Xie seemed to suddenly think of something before the other party spoke, and patted his head fiercely, "Did I put my telephoto The camera fell on your car?!"

"Sure enough, it's yours. Come and get it now if you have time?"

"Yeah, I'll go to the store right away." After hanging up the phone, he was about to rush out, but Wu Xie was grabbed by Zhang Qiling. "Brother is fine, I'm just going to get a lens."

Holding Wu Xie's hand did not let go, no matter whether there is a problem with that photography shop, the woman who died today will not go there to make trouble.Stretching out his hand to cover Wu Xie's head, a barrier was tightly wrapped around him, only then did Zhang Qiling let go of Wu Xie who was in a hurry.

"be careful."

"Well, I'm going out!" Thinking that the nearly 1 yuan lens is still in someone else's store, Wu Xie can't wait to smoke himself.It was indeed too careless in the morning, and coupled with the chaotic situation at that time, Wu Xie completely forgot that he had left his things in the car when he left.

When the winter solstice is about to arrive, it always gets dark very early, and it still looks like afternoon when I return to my humble house, but when Wu Xie comes out, the sky has become so dark that it looks like night.The street lamps on both sides of the road have begun to work conscientiously, and the small town that has just been lit up gradually becomes noisy in the night.Pedestrians and vehicles after get off work filled the street again, and the bustling flow of people forced Wu Xie to slow down.

It was already dark when we arrived at the photo shop, and the brightly lit store was packing up costumes and props. There were no customers, only some passers-by occasionally looked back at the wedding dress in the window, their faces full of longing.

"Boss Li?" Pushing open the door and entering the store, Wu Xie greeted the boss standing behind the counter.

"Ah, Xiao Wu, you are here." Taking out the camera and handing it to Wu Xie, Boss Li had a wry smile on his face.That's right, when something like this happened, and the police questioned him without earning any money, everyone would feel unlucky.

"Thank you boss, I've completely forgotten about it." Said gratefully, Wu Xie put the camera on her back, and greeted, "If you need my help in the future, just tell me."

"Hey, there's no business in winter, so it's hard to come here and make it like this." Boss Li, who was full of bitterness, forced a smile, and couldn't get angry at Wu Xie, an outsider, so he had to vent all his anger on the clerk, "Hey! Who is that over there! Are you new here? Why are you hanging your clothes? Didn’t you see that they were all wrinkled!”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Wu Xie followed the direction Boss Li was pointing at, only to see a figure from the back in overalls, bending over.
