An easy life always passed quickly, and when she finally finished reading the second book called "Ten Thousand Ways to Be Famous" on the first floor, it suddenly started to rain heavily outside.

The rainy season in London came too early this year. It is only autumn, and we are living in winter.

But it was just after noon, the sky was as dark as midnight, the rain made the lights look a little blurry, the whole world was gray, as if she was the only one in the world, at this time she had to think about being here Staying for one night, even if the fairy-tale pony carriage can drive out of this small road, it will be troublesome to go to the main road full of cars outside. Besides, it is dangerous to lose control of the horse or blur the vision in such a heavy rain.

However, this inexplicably found mood disappeared without a trace after the sudden ringing of the phone. James asked if he wanted to pick her up, which made Karina feel a little strange. Although the clinic was almost arranged by James, but Both of them know in their hearts that the other can still live well without themselves.

It is precisely because he knows that James knows that he is not a little girl who is too weak to be afraid of thunder, so the situation is puzzling.

But she didn't refuse either. James had many friends (colleagues?), and he could drive a carriage from here and transfer to his friend's private car. She had reason to believe that James could arrange all of this.

"Hello, is anyone there?" Just a second after she hung up the phone, a female voice sounded at the door, mixed with the sound of the huge rain, it seemed a bit ethereal, and if it wasn't for the silence in the room, it might not have been heard.

She guessed that it was the person who came to hide from the rain. Although it was not the guest who brought her a good start, there was no reason not to open the door. She just guessed where he came from, and could pass by here without a road.

There is a man and a woman outside the door. The woman is blonde and blue-eyed. She is the most standard feature of European and American mainstream beauties. She is wearing an exquisite professional suit and is ten centimeters tall. Even though she is almost soaked, she still looks very beautiful. Confident, this seems to be a professional woman with a high position.

"I'm very sorry to bother you, but my car flooded and stalled on the road, can we take shelter from the rain with you? Well, I also want to borrow your phone. My phone is out of battery and turned off."

Karina never lends her personal mobile phone, but luckily there is a landline.

"Of course, please come in." Although the blond woman only used "we" in one of the sentences, Karina let the people behind come in together.

Unexpectedly, it was a person she knew, but she knew it unilaterally—it was the clerk who came back after delivering food at the burger restaurant last time.

At that time, she had already guessed that this person was the murderer.

He was just as ignorant as when he first met, and was dripping all over his body from the heavy rain, so it seemed that the blond woman in front was not too serious.

He hesitated and dared not come in. He looked at the room covered with dark green carpets. The patterns were complicated and colorful, and it looked very expensive. If he accidentally got wet and dirty, he, a small worker who made a living in London, would not be able to pay for it. rise.

But under this cover, Karina still keenly caught the anger and resentment hidden in his eyes, and this person seemed to have some "problems".

It is said that some deliberate murders—especially serial murders—in fact have some psychological problems. Don’t take too much self-esteem as a disease. Although it is not considered according to the standard, it may still cause huge consequences.

It seemed that her first customer had already arrived.

"It did take some effort to get it," Karina's sudden voice startled the boy, she raised her head slightly, she didn't know if she was shy or afraid of being discovered, but she still didn't choose to look at the girl in front of her, " But things are never important to anyone, right? You can come in first."

Karina's voice was not loud, anyway, the blond lady who had already walked a few steps inside couldn't hear it, and the boy seemed to relax before he stepped in and closed the door.

"My name is Rosa Charles, and I am currently working as the manager of the R&D department in a scientific research company. This is West Kok, who is currently serving as my housekeeper. Because of my work relationship, I will be traveling for a few months, so today we were originally Going to my mother's house in surrey and asking West to work there temporarily, but my mother is not at home at all, the phone is not connected at first, and then I get a text message back to travel after 10 minutes, oh, If you want me to say that I have never felt that she is such an unreliable person, I told her before that I would go there, but she actually completely forgot to go on a trip!"

The blond woman named Rosa was obviously a little angry, and even her dignified sitting posture was a little deformed, "What's more unlucky is that there was a torrential rain on the way. Before West insisted that there was a shortcut to go home, but it turned out It is impossible to hitch a ride in such a remote place." Judging from what she said, she also blamed the boy next to him named West Coker.

Rosa may not be aware of it herself, but Karina can roughly capture her growth trajectory. This may be a capable person with a kind heart, but she has a lot of petty temper. People think that after spending money, they should be instructed by her, and many words and behaviors are not so respectful.

While his employer was talking, West tried his best to dry his body with a small towel, while secretly observing Karina's expression. He saw that it was a psychological clinic just outside, although The name is a bit strange, but it can be seen that there are no traces of people living here. It is good luck to find him a towel that can wipe water. Although I did not see a professional instrument, but the psychological effect actually depends more on it. to the doctor himself.

Although all the psychological books he read said that he had problems, didn't they also say that all people have psychological problems, big or small? He never felt that he was different, but when facing a psychiatrist Also a little guilty.

Karina didn't have a change of clothes here, and the only cloak was given to Rosa who took off her coat. The landline was on the first floor, but I don't know if it was because of the heavy rain and lightning, so Rosa dialed two consecutive No number got through.

"Come on, there's a stove on the second floor, that might keep you warm." When Rosa called, Karina took West up to the second floor, where there was a stove because of the decoration style. The stove, but she usually uses it as a decoration.

Karina noticed that West was looking at him all the time, so he actually probably understood his own problem.

Assuming that West is the murderer in the hamburger restaurant case, then he must have used some means to escape from the hamburger restaurant in a short period of time and become a housekeeper for a single professional woman. After all, there are always fewer male housekeepers, and even if he Not a candidate for the back kitchen, but also one of the suspects. He was the target of the police's observation until the case was closed. He probably didn't use any legitimate means to get out.

Fired up the stove, luckily it did connect to the chimney, and the air was less humid.

"You are still so young, how could you think of doing housekeeping?" Karina handed a cup of hot water to West who was sitting in front of the stove, and sat down beside him.

West blushed and lowered his head slightly, but he didn't meet Karina's eyes, "But housekeeping makes a lot of money. After saving the money, I'll go back to my hometown and start a farm." Whether it's words or expressions, he always Package yourself as a simple and honest teenager.

However, Karina thinks that this person may have regarded Rosa as a new target. This trip caused by a long-term business trip may be in his expectation. Is there any mother Rosa who is not at home after notifying in advance? Living in the world is two ways.

She is always used to think of the worst in things, there is a word called preparedness.

"It's not bad to open a farm, and life will be comfortable, but you are still young, so it's not good to be so unambitious. After all, there are always people who see you as honest... and want to bully you."

Hearing the word bullying, West's heart jumped suddenly, wondering if what he had done had been seen through, but he thought it was impossible, even if the person in front of him was a psychiatrist, but he didn't know himself before, how could it be possible? I know so much from just a few encounters.

Apparently he had no memory of seeing Karina at the burger joint.

"How could it be? There are still a lot of good people in this world." West didn't show his face, but he was a little flustered in his heart. He wanted to leave here. If it wasn't for the damn rainstorm, he would have dealt with this woman Rosa and fled away. up!

Karina just pursed her lips and smiled, got up and closed the curtains to block the rainstorm outside, and then said again: "Of course, you are right, but every country has good people and bad people, and good people should Get thanks and the bad guys get punished."

West finally raised his head, his hair was no longer dripping, "Should the bad guys be punished?" At this moment, Karina felt that his eyes were full of the light of seeking a bosom friend, but she was just cruel Someone who wants him to see more clearly.

"Yes, but that requires a formal way." Ah, the word "formal" coming out of her mouth is really a bit inconsistent.

West lowered his head again, "What is a formal method? Can't you go back after being treated unfairly?!"

That is to say, West is still very young, and the inherent madness factor in his body is also causing trouble, and his tone of voice becomes fierce in a few words, and the image of a good boy he created before is cracked.

"If a dog bites you, you can never bite back. If you do something you once hated, then you are no different from those people. I believe you must have heard of such a simple truth."
