"Hello?"
"…Who did you say died?"
“Plop——”
Aunt Dong’s eyes suddenly widened, her eyeballs rolled up, and her whole body leaned forward uncontrollably and fell heavily to the ground.
She held the phone tightly in both hands, supporting herself on the cold ground, and the sweat from her forehead kept dripping onto the ground.
She raised her head with difficulty and looked at the bright and somewhat dazzling blue sky, the innocent white clouds, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers around her. Everything seemed so vibrant.
Only the voice in my ear was so cold.
"Nowadays, harassment techniques are becoming more and more sophisticated..." Aunt Dong muttered softly, trying to use this seemingly light-hearted remark to cover up her inner uneasiness.
"My daughter is getting married in seven days. How could she die for no reason?!" She suddenly raised her voice and her emotions were somewhat out of control.
"It's fake. Don't try to fool me. I know there are a lot of scammers on the Internet. I will block you right now. Yes, I will also go to the police station to sue you." Aunt Dong's face was distorted. She leaned on the ground with both hands and clenched the phone in her hand. Tears flowed out of her eyes like a flood. "My family, how could Dong Yao die!!! Ah!!!"
She couldn't deceive herself after all. The cruel reality was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard.
Louis on the side stood there in a daze, as if he was frozen in place by a spell, unable to move.
Sister Dong Yao...what happened?
"Aunt Dong...what's wrong with Sister Dong Yao?" Louis opened his mouth slightly and said with a somewhat stiff expression.
Aunt Dong curled up like a shrimp, buried her head in her legs, pounded the ground with her hands, and cried hysterically.
Hearing Louis' words, Aunt Dong slowly raised her head, her voice trembling: "Xiao Lu, your sister Dong Yao...is dead."
"Dead?"
"How could this happen out of the blue..." Louis said, and then fell silent. His words were stuck in his throat and couldn't be uttered.
"It must be the serial killer who did it." Louis said in a low voice with a hint of teasing, "I can feel that you are very angry now. This anger is more intense than ever before."
“It’s wonderful.”
The voice in his heart was like pouring oil on a raging fire, making Louis feel even hotter.
His brain was lacking oxygen, and he took a step back and slowly covered his head.
The fragments of memory with Dong Yao appeared before his eyes like a passing scene.
"Brother Xiaolu, here's some candy for you."
"Don't dirty my white dress! I'll beat you to death."
"Remember not to dirty my white skirt, Xiaolu brother, here's some candy."
"Brother Xiaolu, let's go to the park and play together."
“Ding ding ding—”
The ringing of the cell phone broke Louis's thoughts and brought him back to reality.
He reached out stiffly, took out his cell phone and answered the call.
"Hello? Brat, there's a new case. The location is on a path outside Xingfu Park."
"Although you are now appointed [Inspector], you are not in office yet. You will be considered as such at the meeting tonight. You are still my soldier now, so hurry up and come here."
Louis bit his lower lip lightly. He glanced at Aunt Dong on the ground, raised his face slightly, and looked at the dazzling sunlight: "Okay."
"Aunt Dong, I have something to do. I'm leaving first."
Louis' tone was as stiff as a stone polished by wind and sand.
Before he finished speaking, he turned around, and with heavy and mechanical steps, like a malfunctioning machine, he slowly moved towards the end of the road.
However, at this moment, Aunt Dong's voice suddenly sounded behind him, breaking the suffocating silence, "Xiaolu...Originally, you could have eaten your sister Dong Yao's wedding candy..."
The voice was full of regret and helplessness, like a rusty iron hook, which hooked Louis' already numb heart.
Louis's steps came to an abrupt halt, and his voice became dry, like the land scorched by the scorching sun, cracked and barren, "Yeah, I could have eaten...Sister Dong Yao's wedding candy."
Although the words were light, they seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight. Every word seemed to be torn out from the depths of his soul, carrying blood and tears, echoing in this slightly desolate street.
His thoughts were in a mess, and Aunt Dong's words were like a sharp knife, cutting his heart repeatedly.
His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and even swallowing became difficult.
He wanted to shout out loud, wanted to vent the pain, but in the end, he could only leave silently.
Only Aunt Dong was left, looking like a walking corpse under the sun.
......
Outside Xingfu Park, on the path.
"You're here, little brat."
Du Xing looked at Louis who was running towards him from a distance and smiled.
However, Louis was not in the mood to greet Du Xing. He walked straight into the crime scene.
Broken fingers, torn umbilical cord, hideous gash on the belly, and glaring scar on the neck.
All of these are irritating Louis' nerves.
The most important thing is that Dong Yao’s white dress was stained with bright red blood.
"Sister Dong Yao...I hate it most when my white dress gets dirty!"
Louis clenched his fists, and the blood in his eyes unconsciously filled his eyeballs.
His whole body was shaking, and a hint of ferocity flashed across his face.
The pressure all over my body began to become heavy.
Louis' terrifying strength of nearly 1300 erupted into extreme anger at this moment.
The anger is visible to the naked eye.
