[Quick Transmigration] Take away the bloody protagonist

The next day, Zhou Mao came to the police station.

Today's weather is particularly gloomy, the fog is not very thick.Zhou Mao opened the door of the police station and saw Hannah sitting next to her door as usual.

"Good morning, Hannah." Zhou Mao greeted.

"Good morning." Hannah smiled at Zhou Mao, Zhou Mao heard her voice was a bit strange.

"You have a cold?" Zhou Mao asked.

"Yeah." Hannah sniffed, "The temperature dropped a little last night. I didn't pay attention, so I let the fire go out, and woke up in the middle of the night, only to realize that I had a cold."

Zhou Mao flipped through the calendar hanging on the wall of the police station, and said, "Are you going to be on night shift today? Why don't you change it with me, you go home early and rest."

"No need," Hannah waved her hand. "My cold is not serious. Besides, you have done too many night shifts for me before, so I can't trouble you anymore."

Zhou Mao still wanted to persuade, but Hannah blinked, looked at Zhou Mao with a playful smile, and said, "Mr. Rousseau has just been released, don't you want to spend a good night with him? Why are you still thinking about it?" What about working overtime?"

Zhou Mao's face immediately turned red.Not only Adam, but even Hannah saw the relationship between the two.Zhou Mao didn't know where to put his face.

Seeing that Zhou Mao was silent, Hannah smiled and patted him on the shoulder, telling him to return to his seat and work quickly.

Before I knew it, it was noon.According to Hannah's habit, before she was on duty every night, she would take Finn from the custody to the police station at noon.When Hannah was about to go out, Zhou Mao stopped her.

"I'll go pick up Finn. It seems to be snowing today." Zhou Mao said, putting on his coat. "It's not good if you make your cold worse."

"But Fein's trusteeship is far away..." Hannah didn't want to bother Zhou Mao, but still hesitated.

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Mao said, "I just want to go to a farther place for lunch."

Under Zhou Mao's persuasion, Hannah finally agreed.Zhou Mao picked up the address of the trusteeship office she had written, and walked out of the police station.

The weather became more and more gloomy, Zhou Mao looked up at the sky, and a small grain of ice fell on his face.

"It's really snowing." Zhou Mao murmured.He reached out and stopped a carriage.

Finn's trusteeship is on the edge of the city, the surrounding is quiet and deserted, and few people pass by.The groom driving the carriage seemed to be in a hurry, and after taking Zhou Mao to the trusteeship center, he left without stopping.

Zhou Mao looked at the back of the groom running away, and heaved a long sigh.He walked to the door of the trusteeship center and saw Finn sitting quietly on the stone bench by the door.

"Aren't you cold?" Zhou Mao carefully brushed the snowflakes off Fein's head and shoulders: "Hannah has a cold. I'll take you back to the police station today."

Fein looked at Zhou Mao suspiciously.Zhou Mao smiled, and took out the note on which Hannah had written the address. Under the address, she also wrote a sentence, asking Fei En to follow Zhou Mao.

"Can you read?" Zhou Mao handed the note to Fein. "Hannah entrusted you to me."

Fein took the note and looked at it, then nodded, took Zhou Mao's hand and stood up.

"Let's go." He looked up and said to Zhou Mao.

Zhou Mao held Fein's little hand and left the trusteeship center.He wanted to hail a carriage, but the surroundings were desolate.

There were not many children in the care center, and most of them were orphans, and no one came to visit.Zhou Mao walked for a while, but there was still no one.

Zhou Mao sighed.He is an adult, and it is uncomfortable to walk in the snow for a long time, let alone a child.Thinking of this, he reached out and hugged Finn.

"I'll just carry you away." Zhou Mao said, "If you get your shoes wet, Hannah will probably blame you."

Finn was a little surprised, but nodded obediently.He thought for a while, and then whispered: "Brother Tom, you'd better keep your back on me. This way you can relax more."

Hearing this, Zhou Mao couldn't help hesitating for a while, but still put Fei En behind his back.Fein's body temperature was higher than normal, and Zhou Mao could feel the heat of his body through his clothes.

The two of them walked silently on the deserted snow.Zhou Mao listened to the creak of his boots stepping on the snow, and watched the snowflakes fall on his eyelashes one by one, melted into water, and dripped on his face.

Zhou Mao was silent, and after a while, he lightly shook the child on his back with his hand, making him stay more stable on his back.

A question has been lingering in Zhou Mao's mind. The main reason why he came to pick up Finn was to ask this question.Although he didn't know if now was the right time to ask, he still couldn't help but speak.

"Who are you?" Zhou Mao asked in a low voice.

"What's the matter, Brother Tom?" A childish voice came from behind. "Are you asking me?"

Zhou Mao nodded.

Finn laughed: "Brother Tom is so strange. Don't you know me? I'm Finn."

"Fin." Zhou Mao murmured, seeming to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be talking to the person on his back: "Are you just Finn?"

Finn's voice was still smiling: "I don't understand what you mean, Brother Tom."

"..." Zhou Mao didn't speak.The child behind seemed to be waiting for Zhou Mao's explanation. He grabbed Zhou Mao's neck, and his tiny breath sprayed gently on Zhou Mao's ear.

Zhou Mao couldn't help shivering.

"You killed the mayor, Inspector Brown and Inspector William." Zhou Mao said.

The child behind him seemed to stop breathing for a moment.

"Brother Tom, are you kidding me?" Finn said softly.

"I haven't." Zhou Mao shook his head.

"Why do you say that?" Finn asked.

Zhou Mao did not answer Fein directly.He walked quietly, as if the heavy snow had eliminated all other sounds in this world.He could only hear his own breathing and the breathing of the little man behind him.

"When my students take the exam, they often encounter multiple-choice questions that they don't know how to do." Zhou Mao said, "Whenever this happens, I will tell my students. Don't directly think about how to solve the questions, but put everything together. Take all the choices you make into the question stem and try them out, maybe you can find the right answer.”

"If I bring all the characters I know in this world into the murderer, then there is only one person who can complete these three murders without footprints. That is you."

"Really? But I'm just a 5-year-old child." Zhou Mao felt Finn on his back laughing. "Tell me about how I killed these three people."

"...Shouldn't you be the one who knows best?" Zhou Mao felt a little speechless.

"Tell me about it." Fein whispered in Zhou Mao's ear, "I haven't admitted that I'm a murderer yet."

Zhou Mao shook his head helplessly, and lifted Finn up again. "In the first case," he said, "the mayor died in a quagmire without anyone's footprints around. The reason is simple, it just depends on the weather."

"It was very cold that night, and the water in the mud pool turned to ice. You are a child, and you are light in weight. Just kill the mayor and walk away on the ice. When the weather warms up the next morning, the ice melts into water. The mayor It was in a state of falling into the mud, with no footprints around."

"I'm a child, so small, how can I kill the mayor?" Finn asked.

"It's very simple." Zhou Mao said: "You just need to lie on the mayor's back like you are now, and then give him a knife when he is not paying attention."

"I guess that day, you were also standing on the road the mayor passed by, or near the quagmire, begging the mayor to carry you, and after the mayor agreed, his bad luck came."

"The same method you used on Inspector Brown. On the night he was on duty, you showed up at the police station. I don't know what reason you used to let the inspector leave the police station behind your back. When he was in the garden, you took out your knife and killed him."

"However, unlike last time, this time you have an 'accomplice'."

"After you killed Detective Brown, you sat directly on his body. It wasn't until Hannah came over in the morning that she found Detective Brown's body and you, and then carried you away from the body, so she was the only one on the snow. and the Inspector's footprints. To us, Hannah only told us about the discovery of the body, without mentioning any information about you."

Finn sneered and said, "You mean Hannah is my accomplice?"

"That's right." Zhou Mao said calmly: "Before Detective William died, it was Hannah who asked him to lean against the wall, so that it would be convenient for you to stick out the knife from the gap in the wall. Next, kill Inspector William."

"But," Fein seemed to find Zhou Mao's words very ridiculous: "That house is sealed, even if I am a child, I can't get in."

"Children really can't get in. There are no footprints in the dust of the house." Zhou Mao said, "But when I was investigating, I found that there were several small, mammalian flesh on the top of the taller furniture in the house." Pad imprint."

"I know there are a lot of half-humans in this city, there are werewolves, dog people and cat people."

"I just said it. Finn, you're not just Finn, a five-year-old. You're a cat. A cat person."

Zhou Mao paused: "On the day we first met, you deliberately took out that picture book. The story in the picture book is "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allan Poe. I think you are hinting to me about your future actions. .”

"The husband killed the wife, and the black cat hid in the alcove."

"The murderer, the victim, the corpse sealed in the alcove, the one who finally revealed the truth and took revenge was a black cat."

"It's you, Finn."

"What a wonderful guess." Finn put his arms around Zhou Mao's neck and said softly, "If I wasn't afraid of falling off your back, I should be applauding you now." He leaned closer to Zhou Mao's ear: "Assuming that what you said is true, when did you start to doubt my identity?"

"From the day I knew there were no cats in this city," Zhou Mao said. "Do you remember what you said when we first met, when you held the picture book for Hannah to read?"

"You say 'I just had this book in the warehouse here, it's a cat story'."

"There were no cats in this city ten years ago. Similarly, there are no books about cats, let alone talking about cats. It is impossible for a 5-year-old child to know about cats."

Fei En burst into a burst of laughter suddenly, trembling on Zhou Mao's back. "Yes, yes." He said with a smile: "You are right. I admit that I am the black cat raised by Gray's daughter Mary, and I am also the murderer. Because the mayor and the two detectives wanted to make money from it, they asked Mr. Gray sold the vineyard to Gilbert to build a steel factory. The old Gray refused, and the three of them killed the Gray family and sealed the corpses in a niche. I avenged them. I waited for 10 years and hid In different places, suffered a lot, and finally succeeded."

Fein tried his best to calm himself down. He pressed his whole body tightly against Zhou Mao's back, and asked happily: "Officer Tom, now that you have found the murderer, what are you going to do with the murderer?"

"Although your reasoning is reasonable and correct, it's just reasoning. You don't have concrete evidence, you can't prove that I'm a murderer, and you can't lock me up. After all, I'm still a child."

Fein put his arms around Zhou Mao's neck, and ran his fingers across his throat: "You expose me like this, without any precautions, are you afraid that I will kill you to silence you?"

"I'm not afraid." Zhou Mao replied.

Yes, he wasn't afraid, after all, this was just a world in a novel, and if he died, he would just go back to the beginning, or back to reality.

"But I'm afraid you'll kill Hannah." Zhou Mao said, "She's been doing things for you. I'm afraid you'll kill her to silence her. I don't want to see her die."

"She is very much like my sister. I don't want to see her suffer any pain."

Finn sighed: "Hannah is a good girl. She was filled with righteous indignation when she learned what happened to me, and tried her best to help me. Logically speaking, she knew too many secrets about me, so I should kill her to silence her. But I can also choose not to kill him."

Zhou Mao was silent.He carried Finn on his back and walked for a while in silence.The snow seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, Zhou Mao's face was pale, and he began to be a little confused about the direction of the road.

"Who are you?" Zhou Mao asked softly.

"I'm a black cat." Finn replied, "Didn't I just say that?"

"You are a black cat, but not a black cat." Zhou Mao shook his head and said slowly. "You are just borrowing temporarily in the black cat's body, doing what the black cat should do in the story."

"You are not someone who originally belonged to this world."

"who are you?"
