Can the door to the new world be closed?

"Sleep with me."

"What?!" Liang Jiuba sat up from the sofa in shock, and said in disbelief, "You kicked me out of bed and let a glutton sleep next to you?"

This statement is a bit ambiguous.

Shao Zidi replied: "There are only two beds and one sofa here. There are no extra sheets and quilts. You can't make the floor. Where do you let him sleep?"

"Sleeping with Jiu Niang."

A voice came from the room: "I refuse! I won't sleep with a brat!"

Shao Zidi spread his hands.

Liang Jiuba grimaced, and said, "Then I'll sleep with you, and it sleeps on the sofa."

Shao Zidi refused, "You don't sleep well, the bed is small, I don't want to be squeezed out of bed by you in the middle of the night."

Before Liang Jiuba wanted to say anything else, Shao Zidi said again: "Okay, that's the decision, I'll sleep with him on the bed, and you can continue to sleep on the sofa by yourself."

Seeing the two of them entered the bathroom, Liang Jiuba yelled from outside: "Be careful that you will be eaten by the Taotie next to you when you fall asleep!"

No one answered him.

Liang Jiuba lay down again and snorted, "I won't save you!"

Fortunately, I woke up the next day without being eaten.

Shao Zidi checked his limbs, and the parts that shouldn't be missing...are still there.

Turning his head, Little Taotie woke up at some point, his dark eyes rolled around, and that was the first sentence he spoke.

"I'm hungry."

Shao Zidi's face froze, remembering the fear of being dominated by these words last night.

But he quickly recovered and said, "Then get up, I'll make you something to eat."

Seeing Shao Zidi leading the little Taotie out, Jiu Niang was quite surprised, and joked, "Yo, didn't you get eaten?"

Uncharacteristically, Liang Jiuba didn't follow along with the teasing, but yawned, and looked carefully, his face was tired, with a light blue under his eyes.

Shao Zidi asked: "Why, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Liang Jiuba responded indiscriminately without further explanation, and Shao Zidi naturally didn't ask any more questions.

As for Jiuniang, she wasn't interested in saying that Liang Jiuba had been squatting at the door of Shao Zidi's bedroom last night, listening to the sounds from inside.

Didn't sleep all night.

Probably because he was afraid that when Shao Zidi called for help, it would be too late to save him.

After entering the kitchen, Shao Zidi remembered that all the food at home had been eaten up by the little Taotie, so he probably had to have breakfast outside.

Now Jiuniang is only interested in the food Shao Zidi cooks, so she doesn't go out together, she just asks Shao Zidi to buy more food, and must make lunch at home.

Afraid of causing panic, Shao Zidi took the little Taotie to eat at more than a dozen breakfast shops before letting him, well, he didn't say he wasn't hungry anymore, but that Liang Jiuba couldn't hold it anymore, and yelled that he had no money. Taotie rushed out, and the three went to the supermarket.

In fact, Xiao Taotie is quite obedient, he does whatever Shao Zidi asks him to do, and he doesn't eat when he tells him not to eat.

It looks like a little boy with a big appetite, uh, a big appetite.

So Shao Zidi didn't quite understand why Liang Jiuba disliked Xiao Taotie so much, probably... because all the food was spent on his money?

mean!

Shao Zidi took little Taotie's hand, and asked, "Tao...well, I'll call you Taotao, how are you?"

Tao Tao didn't refute at all, but nodded obediently.

Shao Zidi asked again: "Tao Tao, what do you like to eat?"

"You did it."

"Then what don't you like to eat?"

"No."

Shao Zidi: It's really easy to feed.

call out!

In a few days...

Just when Shao Zidi suspected that his job was to be a cook, a job came.

As usual, Jiuniang was lying at home, and she would not show up for matters that Liang Jiuba could solve.

And Taotao...Jiu Niang doesn't care about things, Liang Jiuba is worried, and the other party has been following Shao Zidi, so they go together.

This time the incident was not picked up by Liang Jiuba on the Internet, nor was it found by an acquaintance, but the captain of the criminal police in the police station. Captain Fang asked Liang Jiuba to be a consultant.

Generally, this kind of situation is a phenomenon that cannot be explained by science, and there may be more than one incident.

Just like the disappearance case before.

The three took a taxi to a high-end neighborhood, and the young policeman, Xiao Fang, came to pick them up.

Xiao Fang was very enthusiastic, "Brother Liang", "Brother Shao", shouted affectionately, but when his eyes turned to Taotao again, he couldn't help being a little puzzled: "Brother Liang, who is this little brother?"

"Just like him, as my assistant." When Liang Jiuba said, he glanced at Shao Zidi.

Xiao Fang was taken aback for a moment, so small, is it a child laborer?But thinking of Liang Jiuba's special identity, he didn't have much doubt and led them to the murder scene.

Not to say it was a murder scene.

Because Xiaofang said that the doors and windows here have no traces of being pried, and the security system of the community is very powerful.

Just before, if Xiao Fang hadn't come, perhaps the three of them would not have been able to enter this community at all.

Not only outsiders need proof and registration from the head of the household, there are almost no dead spots in the surveillance, and they will be photographed when they enter and exit. Captain Fang called out the surveillance to check it early in the morning. From the time the head of the household left until someone died, no outsiders have entered the building.

No one even approached the door in the corridor.

In addition, no traces of fighting were found near the body.

Except for the bruised finger marks on the neck where he had pinched, there was no wound on the corpse.

If it weren't for the fact that the victim was a child as young as six years old, perhaps this case would have been classified as suicide.

The body had been sent back to the police station for autopsy. What Liang Jiuba and Shao Zidi were looking at were the photos taken from the criminal technician.

is a little girl.

Wearing a small foreign dress, lying straight on the ground with his hands behind his neck, his face was swollen and blue, and his eyelids had reddish-brown spotting. He died of suffocation.

A little girl who hadn't yet entered primary school strangled herself to death strangely without any struggle.

The color tone of the photo is very realistic. Although it is not bloody, it still makes the scalp tingle and the heart tighten.

Shao Zidi didn't dare to look at it, but Liang Jiuba frowned and looked at it for a long time, and said, "It's really strange."

A crap.

Captain Fang came over, and his eyes fell on Taotao. Although he was not surprised, he still asked Xiao Fang to take the child out first, because he had something to talk about.

Liang Jiuba stopped him, "Captain Fang, just in case, let him stay here. Don't worry, he won't say anything nonsense."

Captain Fang frowned, "It's a child after all."

Liang Jiuba smiled and shook his head, but didn't explain much.

Seeing this, Captain Fang didn't let Taotao go out, and said, "Xiao Liang, you have also seen that this case is completely impossible for us to start. There are no clues, no suspects, and even the nature of the case. Hard to decide!"

Liang Jiuba nodded, "It was indeed not done by humans."

Captain Fang was very pleasantly surprised, "Do you know what it is made of?"

Liang Jiuba shook his head, "I just noticed something was wrong, I don't know what it is, at least here... I don't feel those things."

After finishing speaking, Liang Jiuba looked at Shao Zidi.

Shao Zidi shook his head secretly, but he didn't see it either.

Captain Fang was a little disappointed, but he also knew that this kind of matter could not be solved casually, so he only explained the seriousness of the matter.

This is not the first time.

Since this month, there have been two cases of suspected suicides. The victims were children aged five to seven who lived in high-end residential areas and were in exactly the same state before death.

The child's parents are elites in all walks of life, and they have been putting pressure on the police, but now even a suspect has not been identified, and another child has died.

Captain Fang was so worried that several gray hairs appeared.

There was no way to find Liang Jiuba.

Liang Jiuba asked some more about the case, and when Captain Fang went to transfer the files of the other two cases, he took Shao Zidi to look around the four-bedroom, two-living room.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

But it is also the most abnormal place.

Finally, the three of them stood in the bedroom where the child died. The location of the body was marked on the floor, very close to the closet.

There were indeed no traces of fighting or even struggling around.

After looking around, Liang Jiuba asked, "Did you find anything strange?"

Shao Zidi was usually most afraid of seeing what those eyes saw, but now that three murders happened one after another and three children died, he wished he could see something right away, let Liang Jiuba solve it, and stop the crime.

But, in the end, he could only shake his head, "No."

"What about you, little boy?"

Taotao's face was ugly, and a word popped out of his mouth, "Hungry."

Liang Jiuba, "...I really can't count on the two of you."

Shao Zidi patted Taotao's little hand holding clothes and eating, and asked, "Then what did you find?"

"A little."

Liang Jiuba looked at the princess bed in the bedroom, and said: "Children of this age like to play with toys, but I just saw it, not only in other places, but I didn't even see a toy in her bedroom."

Shao Zidi, "What if she doesn't like to play?"

Shao Zidi himself was a little uncertain about this sentence. Even when he was poor when he was young, he would use stones, branches, and even soil to make toys for himself.

Not to mention the children in this metropolis.

Liang Jiuba said: "There should be at least one doll, right?"

I went to Captain Fang and asked if I took all the toys back to the police station as physical evidence. Only then did Captain Fang discover this weird place, so he asked the victim's parents.

The last information I got was that the little girl liked dolls very much at first. Barbie dolls, teddy bears, and dolls filled the whole bedroom.

But a few days ago, the little girl's mother bought a doll from somewhere. It was a Western doll, which was very popular with the little girl. She had to hold it every day when she ate and slept. She even threw away all the other dolls and kept only that one. .

Liang Jiuba asked: "Then what about that doll?"

Captain Fang also looked puzzled, "The victim's parents said that the doll was always held by their daughter in their arms, but when the body was found, they didn't see the doll, and we didn't find it when we searched."

Liang Jiuba was thinking about something, "It's gone..."

After returning to his senses, Liang Jiuba said again: "Captain Fang, please go to the other two families to ask about their children's playing with toys, and if you have seen any dolls exactly like this one."

Captain Fang was surprised, "Could the problem be with that doll?"

"possible."

Dolls won't run long again, unless...
