sunk in yesterday

The garbage truck was a little heavier.

The cleaner closed the lid, and a bloodstain dripped from the lid, and she wiped it clean with a rag.

The bloodstains on the ground were also cleaned one by one, just like the clothes on her body were clean again, white as plain paper.

She mechanically grabbed the handlebar and pushed it out.He stopped after taking a step, returned to the cabinet where the man hid last, and looked up at the vent above.

The wind blowing from the opposite side was quieter than usual, and it seemed that something was blocking the pipe.

Did the little mouse sneak in?

She picked up the broken mop on the ground, pushed the tube cover inwards, and raised her head upwards...

Where the other end of the tunnel will be, no one knows.

But there was no turning back, Jian Ran and Jian Shu crawled into the depths without mentioning what happened just now.

"Xiao Shu, are the clues left by Brother Guan and the others still on you?" Halfway through, Jian Ran was a little tired and had to stop to take a breath.

They can't rest here for too long. A thick layer of dust has accumulated in the narrow ventilation ducts for a long time, and because of the humid air, the dust sticks together. I don't know how many bacteria they will get on their bodies after a walk. After a long time, they will definitely get sick. .

Jian Shu: "Of course, sister, do you want it?"

"I just thought of the news above." Jane shook her head: "I just observed that the cleaner and the woman in the photo have the same mole on the neck, which is next to the necklace. And the cleaner is not very old, Judging from the news, it should be the same person, that is, the girlfriend of the interpreter of this dream...or his ex-girlfriend, at least the two of them had a very close relationship."

Jian Shu doesn't even have a girl she likes, and she doesn't know much about the relationship between men and women, so she can only say "oh" silly.

"We got too little." Jane paused: "I don't think it was dolphins that attacked humans. The murderer must have used the incommunicability of animals to cover up the truth."

"Then what should we do?" Jian Shu asked, and the surrounding became quiet.

No one told them what to do, and they never tried.Having dealt with evil aborigines at close range, I became more aware of my gap and insignificance.

"How did you deal with that cleaner just now?" After a while, Jian Ran asked.

Jian Shu said: "The red line on her body is obvious."

Looking back, Jane didn't think it was so eye-catching.

"Maybe because she has a body, so I can't see her position from a distance like in other dreams. But I found that the thread can glow." Jian Shu rubbed her palms, and there was still a rough feeling inside.It was a matter of life and death. He pulled the thread very quickly, so the skin was slightly worn out, but the pain was not obvious. "I pulled the thread and she fell apart."

"Okay, as long as you know how to make her sleep temporarily."

At least they have the bottom line in their hearts, they are not invincible.

Recovering some strength, the two continued to crawl forward.The wind blowing through was stronger than before, and the whistling sound could be heard faintly, and the other end of the vent was not far away.

Jian Ran reckoned that it should be two o'clock now, she was alright, but Jian Shu was short of sleep and getting older, "Are you hungry? Go down and find a remote place later, let's eat something before resting. "

"Not hungry." Jian Shu lifted up the waist of her trousers, very confident.

"Just lie to me, I heard your stomach growl just now." Jian Ran laughed, "My younger brother has grown up, so he is starting to lie to my elder sister."

"No, I didn't..." Jian Shu defended, he pushed his glasses to hide his panic, and he lacked confidence: "I will bark even if I am not hungry, maybe because I am angry."

"Okay, I'm hungry, can you accompany me to eat something? I still have a bag of noodles, I'll share them later." Jian Ran's smile faded, originally she planned to use the tools in the restaurant to cook noodles at night , now the foothold is gone, and the hot water is gone.

At this time, the timepiece lit up, and she looked at the number "3/9" refreshed on it, and closed her eyes coldly.

It was slower than she expected, but the man still didn't live.

"Sister..." Jian Shu called out, but hesitated.

"Huh?" Jian Ran turned her head back: "What's the matter? You're still hesitating when talking to me."

"After going out this time, I want to bring a bouquet of flowers to my mother... We didn't bring anything when we went to see her before. Others will bring condolences when they visit the sick."

"Of course." Jian Ran agreed immediately, her brows slightly frowned, "Then let's pick a day to go to the flower shop later, the earlier the flower, the more expensive it is, it's not worth it."

Hearing what she said, Jian Shu regretted it, "Let's forget it, the flowers they sell are too expensive, I'll go to the shop and look around, maybe there are bad ones they don't want. I saw it before There are girls who throw away flowers given by others, but the flowers are still fresh."

"Other people's things, we don't want them if they are lost." Jian Ran was very serious. After listening to the movement outside for a while, she confirmed that there was no familiar sound of wheels, and then she removed the fender.

It was dark and humid, colder than the business district they were in.She took out the map, intending to determine her location first.

"We've been going to the right..." Jian Shu roughly drew out a range, "Area B? Sister, we should already be in the coral area."

There is a museum in the coral area, which is not particularly large, but it is at least two hundred square meters.At best, this small museum is a good place to hide. Large and small models surround an indoor forest, but it has advantages and disadvantages. Strong concealment will also increase trouble for escape, and there are no restrictions on stairs and steps.

After weighing it up, Jian Ran bit her lip and decided to spend the night just like that.They are exhausted, and the most important thing right now is to rest.

The two jumped down, as they guessed, this is the fork in the B area, there is a road on the left and right, which is where Xia Zhuo and the others passed by during the day.

"Sister, we haven't looked at the mirror tunnel yet, should we go around after dawn?" Jian Shu looked at the big mirror hidden in the darkness, there were faint reflections of water patterns on it.

Jane agreed: "Okay, we'll talk about it after dawn."

The automatic doors of the museum are wide open, and the emergency lights illuminate the intricate coral specimens in a gloomy manner, just like the bloody mouth of a lanternfish that lures fish deep into the deep sea.

Jian Ran firmly grasped Jian Shu's wrist, and did not dare to walk too slowly.The glass cabinet lightly reflected their shadows, and the front and back faces were blurred.

When she reached the end of the exhibition hall, Jian Ran breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that Jian Shu had started rubbing her eyes tiredly, she took out the instant noodles, put them in her arms and carefully tore off the packaging.The thickness of the sweater can't block the crackling sound of the plastic packaging bag. The creaking is very obvious in the closed environment. After finally getting through, Jian Shu suddenly opened her eyes wide, pressed her hand in a panic, and turned off the phone at the same time. flashlight.

"Heh, heh—"

The sound of wheels is coming from far to near.

Jian Ran's face turned pale - did the cleaners come after them?I thought I could escape if I just hid, but I didn't expect that I couldn't get rid of it?

"Sister, is she approaching us?"

Jian Ran looked at the door, and randomly sketched out the course of action for the meeting in her mind.But at this moment, she remembered what the man said before—it was strange, no matter how I ran, she was always so far away from me when I turned around.

If what he said was true, it would be like a cat teasing a mouse in a cage.This evil aborigine has a strong hatred for the interpreter, so after being associated with him and being recognized as an accomplice, the cleaner will definitely not let them go.

She stared closely at the direction of the automatic door, not letting go of the slightest movement in her sight.But the fear of wild thinking is enough to torture people's hearts. Once she realized that running away might be useless, she felt that her legs were not as sharp as before, and even a little numb and weak. She obviously felt that she was ready to run away, but her body But it was like being filled with lead, so heavy that I couldn't step out or lift it up.

"Xiao Shu, listen to me." She took a deep breath, "You run over there in a while, I will wait here for her to attract her attention, and when you go out, go to area C. If it doesn't work, go back and find her." Brother Guan and the others. They are very nice people. If you ask for more, they will definitely help you. Moreover, they are very powerful, and they will definitely find a way..."

It took Jian Shu a while to realize what she meant, "Sister! You..."

"Just do as I say, I don't have so much time for you to think about it." Jian Ran interrupted him, "Be obedient, I will go find you after I get rid of her."

What else did Jian Shu want to say, but Jian Ran smiled brightly at him, "Oh, when did I ever lie to you?"

Jian Shu suddenly felt that Jian Ran had changed. He was familiar with her appearance and voice, but her aura was subtly different from dream to dream.

In my impression, even if Jian Ran was a few years older than him, she still bullied him when she was a child. She never looked like a sister.Because of the greedy mouth, more snacks shared equally between the two of them would always go into Jian Ran's stomach. He didn't let him do it specially, but his sister coaxed and tricked her to snatch it herself.

This kind of snack competition lasted until Jian Ran was 12 years old, that is, four years ago.

She is gradually becoming a little grown-up, although she is still bluffing, but at least she will not snatch things from his hands. Once a lollipop was distributed at school, and she also pinched her waist when she returned home. Put it into his hand, and said disdainfully: Children only eat candy.

Jian Shu's lips trembled, "You lied to me a lot when you were young."

Jane still looked at him with a smile, and put the whole piece of noodles into his arms.

Grasping the hard and uneven edge of the face, Jian Shu couldn't hold back anymore, his voice was trembling, and he said with a choked voice: "Sister, I can't live without you anymore."

The begging was like a needle, inserted into Jian Ran's brain, and like a snake, tightly wrapped around her.Jian Ran was taken aback, as a huge tide of sadness flooded her chest, making her almost out of breath.

"Heh, heh—heh."

The sound of the wheels stopped.

Jian Ran could see a black shadow behind the door frame, standing there abruptly.This glance was only less than a second, but it made her think a lot in an instant. She thought that today's physical education class was occupied by the math teacher again, that the school released the list of students applying for the subsidy, and that the teacher said at the class meeting that next week I have to pay 58 for the new school uniform.

Her thoughts diverged uncontrollably, unable to grasp the root or tail.But after Jian Shu breathed heavily and pushed her, she realized that the shadow was gone.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

The wheels rubbed on the ground and turned in a circle, and the cleaner pushed the car in another direction.

Jian Shu didn't dare to speak again until the fading sound disappeared completely, her voice filled with joy: "Sister, it seems that she doesn't know our location."

This is undoubtedly good news, as long as the cleaners don't keep following them, their survival rate will be greatly improved.

However, the sense of relaxation for the rest of his life has not yet arisen, and there is a sudden "sizzling" sound above his head, and gray and white snowflakes light up one after another on the screen that is hung high and usually used to play documentaries.

This was completely unexpected. How could the TV be turned on for no reason in a place without electricity?

The distorted portrait gradually took shape, and the slender figure flickered in a strange image, and the originally dynamic music became a terrible torture at this time. Jian Ran thought that the people in it would crawl out of the screen like a female ghost in a horror movie, but it was good In the absence of.After more than a minute at the beginning, the monotonous colors were replaced by rich colors. This is an advertisement related to necklaces.

Jian Shu felt very familiar at first glance, he quickly took out the photos he had found from the man, and compared the necklaces on the necks of the two with the ones on the TV, they were exactly the same.

The news of the day is also flowing under the advertisement, and the date on the red background stays on July 12, 7.

"The advertisement in July of 12..." Jian Ran also thought of something, she quickly took the thin layer of printing paper from Jian Shu's hand, searched carefully, and finally found an inconspicuous date mark on the upper left -- 08/02/[-].

In other words, as soon as the ad came out in [-], the interpreter and his girlfriend bought the couple necklaces.

The advertisement in the stereo continued to explain the product.

[Actually, we specially invited the designer to the scene today to chat with you about her original intention of designing this product. 】

Immediately afterwards, an unpredictable but expected person appeared in the camera—a young woman who looked exactly the same as in the photo they held waved and said hello.

She wore a boldly cut black gauze dress, and the mole just below the collarbone was attached to the metal chain, like a star floating in the night sky.

She smiled shyly, her cheeks were slightly flushed, she was agile and beautiful, it was hard to imagine that such a woman at the best age died in a brutal murder not long after.

[Hello everyone, as a jewelry designer, I have always worked hard on the styling of jewelry, but some time ago my boyfriend suddenly said to me: "It would be great if I could collect all your sweet words" , um... I think many couples in love will have this idea, right?So for the first time, I wanted to add some practical elements to the accessories.The reason why this necklace is designed as a long bar is because there is a small mechanism hidden inside, that is, the recording function.And because of the particularity of the material, it is completely waterproof, and it is very simple to export audio, put it...]

At this point, the color picture collapsed and the screen went back to gray and white.

The current sound hasn't stopped yet, but Jian Ran has grasped the keywords in the introduction of the advertisement.

Recording function and waterproof...

"I said why I heard noises from outside, so someone was there."

The sudden voice was very close to them, covering the buzzing in their ears just right.

The two were startled. They were very sensitive to the sound. When they looked up, the owner of the sound slowly walked under the screen. The bright white light shone on his back and also illuminated the corner of his beige windbreaker.

Jian Ran pulled Jian Shu to her side, stared at him vigilantly, and did not speak.

Unaware of her unwelcome expression, the man in the windbreaker greeted her with a smile: "Coincidentally, I'm looking for you."

"What do you want us to do?"

"Nothing else, just see if you guys are having a good day. After all, you are the only warmth I have left." The man in the windbreaker looked around and seemed to mention it unintentionally: "Speaking of which, I heard the TV outside. Advertisement for necklaces."

He'd heard it all, and playing dumb wasn't a smart decision.Jian Ran quickly finished the analysis, and forced herself to ask calmly: "Is there something wrong with that necklace? Isn't it just an ordinary sales advertisement?"

The man in the windbreaker squinted his eyes and squatted down in front of the two of them.

He has a faint smell of sea water and a fishy smell, although it is not obvious, but it can't escape Jian Ran's nose - she discovered this in the morning.

"It's really just an ordinary sales advertisement." The man in the windbreaker looked at her face and narrowed his eyes, as if he was carefully discerning her expression.It wasn't until Jian Ran's eyelashes began to tremble faintly, betraying his master's anxiety, that he asked leisurely, "So, where have you seen this necklace?"
