track criminals

Convenience store.

As usual, a few customers walked around in front of the merchandise racks, got what they needed and went to the cashier at the door to pay.In the corner of the ceiling, there is a very conspicuous surveillance camera, and the images captured by the store are also intuitively displayed on the computer at the cash register. The clerk occasionally takes a look at it in case there are fewer products, otherwise they have to pay for it themselves.

Next to the refrigerator, a mother and daughter stood, and the child looked at the exquisite and beautiful cakes. The aroma of the cream seemed to float out through the plastic casing, which made people move their index fingers.

"Mom, I want to eat cake."

"Okay, seeing how well-behaved you are today, but you can only choose one."

"yeah!"

The child leaned on the glass, carefully selected and finally made a decision, and ran to the cashier with the cake in both hands.

"Don't run so fast, you won't have anything to eat if you drop it." The mother had a smile on her face, helpless and spoiled.

Not far away, a young girl looked straight at them, her eyes were blank, she seemed to be in a daze, and she looked envious.

In the next second, a big hand covered her head, and suddenly pressed her face into his arms, avoiding the camera, while cursing in a low voice: "Stupid, pay attention."

The girl froze for a moment, then nodded blankly.

The clerk at the cashier glanced at this scene on the computer from the corner of his eye, and sighed inwardly—whether the little brats now hug each other so intimately in public, and buy things seriously, okay? !

"I'll buy you a cake, do you want it?" the young man asked, putting his arms around the girl's shoulder.

"Why?" The girl stared at the cake.

"Don't you want to eat?"

"Whose birthday?"

"No one, eat whatever you want."

"……Oh."

In the end, the two took the cake and walked to the cashier to pay the bill. The clerk took a look at them and found that they were quite young. He felt that he had thought too much just now, so he asked too much: "Are you brothers and sisters?"

The girl bowed her head silently, looking very shy.

The young man took the cash and hummed.

The clerk asked again: "Is it my sister's birthday? How old are you? How many candles do you want? It's free."

The young man pressed the money on the table, stared at him, and said coldly, "No need."

Even though he looked much younger than himself, the clerk was startled by his penetrating eyes, the air conditioner blowing down from behind his head made his back feel chilly.

"That, that...forget it," the clerk quickly took the candle back, not bothering to see if the money was enough, so he forced a smile, "Thank you for your patronage, please go slowly."

The young man picked up the plastic bag and pulled the girl out of the convenience store.

Along the way, the girls all lowered their heads and wore hats, unable to see clearly.

After returning to the residence, the young man closed the door, went straight to the kitchen, put the cake on the table, and stuffed the rest of the items into the cabinet.

The girl paused for a moment, slowly, and was about to go to the living room to watch TV with the boy on the sofa.

"Come here, both."

In the silence, the TV was still playing, and a chair in front of the dining table was pulled away, making a screeching sound against the floor.Only the girl sat down obediently.

The young man held a clean pointed kitchen knife in his hand, water slid down the blade and dripped onto the table, the water droplets burst open.He took a look, and saw that the boy on the sofa was still watching TV intently, motionless.He took a step forward, then stopped suddenly, and sat down opposite the girl.

The young man stared at her, his tone was not good, and he was very cold, "Why did you stare at others in the store just now? Didn't I tell you, don't go too far from me when you go out, don't run around, don't pay attention to strangers ?"

The three are not allowed to be said one after another, which seems very strong and authoritarian.

The girl picked at the thread on the edge of the clothes, pulled it, and kneaded it into a ball, bowed her head and said nothing.

"Speak." The young man's tone was cold.

The girl whispered: "...I want to drink Coke."

"Do you think I'm as stupid as you?" The young man held the knife and swung it skillfully, the sharp blade reflected the cold light.He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "What I dislike the most is being cheated."

The air is stagnant and pressed down heavily, making people feel tight in the chest and difficult to breathe.

The girl pinched the corners of her clothes tightly, layers of wrinkles appeared, and her fingertips turned white.

"I want to go home..."

Seeing other people's mother and daughter together, she suddenly remembered that she also had a mother, but her mind was blurred, like a blender stuffed with everything, messy.

As soon as she spoke, the young man's face sank instantly, and he snorted coldly, "Do you know where your home is? Do you know your name?"

The girl frowned deeply, unable to dig out any corresponding information from her mind, unable to answer.

The young man was very satisfied, picked up the knife, cut off the cake neatly, divided the cake into three pieces, put the piece with strawberries in front of the girl, and said gently and dotingly: "Your name is Tao Yi, you are my sister, I will Always protect you. This is your favorite strawberry, eat it quickly."

The girl looked at the cake, a little confused.The rich and greasy creamy aroma made her dizzy, and she nodded in a daze.

"Okay, let's celebrate together, the three brothers and sisters." The young man wiped off the cream on the knife, stuffed it into his mouth, clapped his hands, and called the boy in the living room.

Unknown girl: "Celebrate what?"

The young man bent his lips, "Congratulations that we passed through today safely, we are still together."

The girl is silent.

"Tao Xin, if you don't come here again, believe it or not, I smashed the TV?" The young man's patience faded, and he threatened in a very bad tone.

But the boy didn't show any fear at all. He turned his back to them and stared at the TV.

The young man finally couldn't hold back his anger, got up and walked over in a few strides, and pulled out the plug abruptly.The screen of the TV went black, and the colorful picture disappeared.

The young man froze, without any reaction, staring blankly ahead.But in the next second, he suddenly yelled, "Ah—"

The voice was shrill and sharp, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart.

He held his head, bent deeply, tears welled up from his eyes, and his lips trembled.

The young man clenched his fists and yelled at him impatiently: "Why are you crying?! What is there to cry about!"

But it is undeniable that the young man's condition is quite poor. He often falls ill suddenly for unknown reasons. He kneels on the ground and hits the floor hard with his head. He doesn't care if his head is broken and bloody. The unremitting momentum.

At this time, it was the same. Even though most of the floor was covered with old towels, under his crazy impact, the thin old towels didn't do much at all. Instead, there was blood stained on the towels, which looked extremely scary.

The yellow Labrador who was watching TV with him was startled, jumped to the floor, and barked at the young man with a very anxious voice.

"Fuck!" The young man cursed violently, stepped forward and grabbed the boy's arm, forcibly stopping his self-harm.But the young man was completely uncontrollable, he struggled wildly, hit the young man with his hands several times, and because he couldn't do what he wanted to do, he seemed to be crazy, he opened his mouth and bit the young man's hand that was holding him, his teeth sank deeply into the flesh, and tasted He didn't let go of the smell of blood.

The young man frowned in pain, but he didn't run away and let him bite until he finally calmed down.The young man pushed his shoulder violently, and the young man fell backwards, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, with bright red blood remaining at the corner of his mouth. At first glance, he looked like a little vampire.

"Is it back to normal? Go and eat the cake!" The young man's face was dark and all his patience was exhausted. He sat on the ground and pulled two tissues to press the wound casually.

The boy looked down at the floor without speaking.

Seeing that he was motionless, the young man stood up, extremely irritable, with a raging anger in his chest and nowhere to vent, he kicked over the coffee table, "Don't eat it! Throw it all in the trash can!"

He strode into the room and slammed the door so hard that the walls trembled.

The Labrador came over, licked the boy's hand on the floor in a consoling manner, and sobbed softly.The atmosphere in the house became more and more oppressive.

I do not know how long it has been.

The young man was lying on his back on the bed in the room, with his hands folded behind his head, looking at the ceiling, thinking about something.Not far from the table, leaning against a thick iron rod.

The door was knocked twice suddenly.

The young man mechanically turned his head and looked over, his eyes were dark like stagnant water.

There were two more knocks.

"what!"

The young man spoke out impatiently, his voice was hoarse after he hadn't spoken and drank water for a long time.

The people outside the room didn't respond, they just kept knocking twice, knocking twice, knocking twice... Maybe the people inside would keep knocking until the end of time if they didn't open the door.

The young man gritted his teeth, turned over and sat up abruptly, and opened the door with his hand.

Outside the door, the girl and the boy stood side by side, holding a piece of cake in their hands, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.They looked at the young man eagerly, but still remained silent.

The young man suddenly felt very boring, so he fell down and lay down again, ignoring a fool or a lunatic at the door.

Maybe it's because of something wrong with their brains. They are more likely to be obsessed with one thing than ordinary people. They don't know people's faces, so they insist on walking to the bed and passing the cake forward.

Just standing there, staring straight at you with big black eyes open, like two little devils.

The young man glanced at them, turned his back to them, and said impatiently, "Don't eat!"

After a while, there was a small rustling sound behind him.

The young man turned his head and saw that the two children actually ate the cake with a fork after hearing him say that they would not eat it, and they even ate it while standing beside his bed!

The young man laughed angrily, sat up, and stretched out his hand. The elder was full of momentum, "Bring it here."

The two glanced at him with reluctance on their faces, but they still handed the cake out cowardly.

The young man took it and gnashed his teeth to eat it. A small piece of cake was finished within two bites.

The girl and the boy gathered together, whispering something.

The young man yelled again: "What are you doing sneakily, speak up if you have something to say!"

The girl obediently yelled: "Wang! Cai! Pay it back! No! Eat! Meal! It! Very! Hungry! Already!"

The young man resisted the urge to roll his eyes, his ears were buzzing, "Won't you mix up the leftovers and feed it? I taught you!"

Boy: "Wangcai doesn't want to eat leftovers."

Youth: "You know what a fart!"

The boy was very serious: "It told me."

The young man threw the plastic bottom of the cake on the ground and said casually, "There is no money. You tell Wangcai to let him make up for it, or he will starve to death if it doesn't work."

The boy and the girl frowned, suddenly squeezed their throats, bent over and retched.

The youth wondered: "What are you doing, did you get sick from eating?" Subconsciously picked up the cake box to check the production date.

The boy said, "I want to spit out the cake for Wangcai to eat."

"..."

The young man put on his hat with a complicated expression, and said angrily, "I'll go out for a while, you guys have to deal with the leftovers, stay at home obediently, and wait for me to come back."

After walking two steps, considering they opened the door and sneaked out last time, he locked the door with the key again.Before leaving, throw all the sharp objects in the room into the drawer and lock it.
