Chapter 1053 The Returnee's Notes 127
Even so, Xi'er didn't complain or cry. She just rested her chin on her hand and looked up at the sky, wondering where her sister who saw her pants were red was now.
Xie Ning sat next to Xi'er, reaching out to lightly touch the somewhat crumpled big-character poster, as if he could see the blood and tears of that era again.
She can appear by Boss Lan and Xi'er's side at any time, but Boss Lan has been performing on stage recently, so she went back to the backyard and sat next to Xi'er.
This was the first time she had ever seen a girl with such a personality.
"Dinner's ready!" It was A Luo again who brought the food.
While delivering the food, she couldn't help but grumble, "You're usually as well-behaved as a kitten, how did you suddenly provoke the master? His face has been dark these past few days."
Seeing that Xi'er was still eating without a care in the world, A'luo couldn't help but pat her head. "I'm talking to you. Luckily you've been good these past few days. The master said he'll let you out today, but you can't run around like that, understand?"
We can't keep the children locked up forever.
"Okay, I understand."
After Xi'er finished eating, A'luo led her to the front yard. They figured that Boss Lan's performance should be over by now, and they needed to hurry over to do some chores.
However, A Luo did not expect that Xi'er would disappear in the blink of an eye while he was working.
Xie Ning ran alongside Xi'er. At that moment, Xi'er saw something on the second floor and suddenly ran outside.
After navigating two or three alleys, Xie Ning spotted the figure lying deep inside one of them. Xi'er scurried over, her little legs trembling. "Big sister, you run so fast, but I found you!"
Xi'er helped the woman who had fallen to the ground up. She had a gunshot wound on her shoulder blade and her face was stained. She relaxed a little when she saw that it was Xi'er.
"Xi'er, hurry, leave this place." She couldn't let this child be implicated.
The woman leaning against the wall looked up at the sky, a smile playing on her lips. She had completed her mission; that bastard was dead.
Then she realized that Xier was taking off her clothes and even took off her hat and put it on her own head.
"What are you doing?!" She had lost too much blood and her voice was weak and feeble.
Xi'er put her cotton coat on the woman and said with a grin, "There are bad guys chasing you. I'll go and lure them away. You stay here, sister."
After saying that, he hid the person in the haystack. The woman was dizzy and couldn't stop him at all.
Xie Ning squatted down and carefully examined the woman's gunshot wound. He secretly calculated that the wound should not be fatal, but it needed to be treated promptly.
Xi'er naturally couldn't think of how to treat the wound, but she remembered to bury the bloodstains on the snow, and then walk a distance to bite her wrist and let it bleed on the ground.
It was clearly very painful, but she didn't even flinch.
Xie Ning glanced at Xi'er's tense little face. Sometimes she didn't know whether to say that this girl was naive or clever. The pursuers in the distance spotted Xi'er, fired a few shots, and then caught up.
At such a distance, the gun obviously couldn't hit it.
Xi'er was clearly very familiar with this area. She lured the pursuers away and slipped away from them for a long time before breaking open the rice pile to reveal the dog hole inside and crawling in.
This is an abandoned courtyard.
After Xi'er went inside, she took off her outer clothes and climbed over the wall on the other side. Although she hadn't learned much in the theater over the years, she still knew how to climb over walls.
Then he ran all the way back to the theater.
But she was stopped just as she opened the back door.
"Pah! You stinking woman, do you think I don't know the shortcut?!" His house was right there; going through his own house would directly shorten the distance between them.
"stop!"
Xi'er struggled to lift her head and then saw Boss Lan standing under the withered tree, as well as the other people in the garden.
Aro stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, seemingly in disbelief.
The police squad leader who caught up kicked Xi'er. "Boss Lan, catching an assassin doesn't seem to be your business, does it?"
Boss Lan's eyes darkened, and he was about to walk in that direction when A Luo instinctively grabbed Boss Lan's sleeve. "The common people can't fight with officials. Xi'er must have done something wrong, that's why so many people are chasing her, even into the theater."
"Let go." The soft rebuke startled Aro awake.
“This is one of our young men from our compound. He was just removing my makeup. How did he become an assassin? Captain Xu, don’t make things up.”
Seeing Captain Xu get angry, Boss Lan lowered his voice again, "Captain Xu, we're all family. If you just want to arrest someone to pass on your mission, could you please find someone else? Consider it a favor that I, Lan Yan, owe you."
It just so happens that I'm with your director...
Captain Xu waved his hand, interrupting Lan Yan, "Boss Lan, it's not that I'm heartless, it's just her."
Pointing to Xi'er, who had been arrested, he said, "Do you know who she killed? She killed the military police commander, Murai Ichiro. She's doomed. No one can save her."
Then he glanced at the others and said, "Your theater might be implicated as well."
"You killed someone?"
When Xi'er met Lan Yan's gaze, she wanted to laugh, but dared not, and only murmured, "No."
Then Lan Yan turned his gaze to Captain Xu, "This child said she didn't kill him. Captain Xu, may I ask when Commander Murai was murdered?"
"Around 10 a.m. this morning."
He was giving a speech when he was assassinated.
Lan Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "Captain Na Xu must have made a mistake. I only released the child around 10 o'clock. She was doing odd jobs in the front yard. Today's guests, including other people in the theater, can all testify that Xi'er definitely did not leave the theater at that time."
