Xiao Xiao whispered to himself, then, the other hanging mark on the branch nearby...could it be...that of a monster?
A hanging monster?
He is really a monster who only loves strange things.
He couldn't help but curl his lips, but there was no smile.
...
"Master Xiao, what should we do next?"
The investigation hit a dead end again, and Meng Jixi frowned.
I can't seem to find any more news anywhere.
Apparently I found a new clue...
"What's with the hanging marks on the other branch?"
"Is it just a coincidence?"
In fact, there is no more meaning?
...
"Go down first."
Xiao Xiao turned around and walked towards the bedroom door.
"Ah? Oh."
Meng Jixi, who was lagging behind, took one last look at the clothes drying pole above, then turned around and closed the balcony door.
"Shua~"
The curtains were drawn again.
"Pap~"
The fluorescent lamp dimmed.
The room returned to darkness again.
Meng Jixi looked around the room and closed the bedroom door.
...
On the way downstairs, neither of them spoke.
Xiao Xiao's face was pale, and his slightly furrowed brows showed a hint of thoughtfulness.
Seeing this, Meng Jixi remained silent.
He didn't make any noise to disturb Master Xiao's thinking.
...
"Auntie, thank you for the key."
Meng Jixi handed the key to the dormitory aunt.
"You're welcome."
The dormitory aunt took the key and asked, "Did you find anything?"
"Probably not."
Meng Jixi shrugged his shoulders.
"It's okay, young man, keep working hard."
The dormitory aunt was not surprised by this result.
In her opinion, what Meng Jixi did was just the passion of young people.
When I encountered a case for the first time, I couldn't wait to commit crimes or something.
...
"Then Auntie, let's take our leave."
Meng Jixi smiled at the encouragement from the dormitory aunt, and then waved her hand to express her intention to leave.
"Well, goodbye, young man."
The dormitory aunt also smiled and waved.
...
Not long after walking out of the boys’ dormitory building, “ding ding ding ding~”
The bell rang for the end of get out of class.
In an instant, the quiet campus became excited.
...
"Well, get out of class is over?"
Meng Jixi rubbed his ears, "The school bell is as shocking as ever."
...
Two young men not wearing school uniforms walked on campus and attracted the attention of many students.
Meng Jixi glanced around casually, and the students' eyes instantly became much less focused.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Xiao Xiao, "Master Xiao, what should we do next?"
Since nothing was found in Chang Yu's dormitory, there is no point in checking the dormitory of the earlier suicide.
Master Xiao must be very aware of this.
But apart from that, there seems to be nothing else they can do?
Just give up?
He was a little unwilling.
"Master Xiao, do you have any ideas?"
Just as Xiao Xiao was about to answer, what he saw out of the corner of his eye made him act quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xiao caught a girl who was about to fall down the stairs.
...
"Ah~!"
A belated scream sounded.
...
Xiao Xiao helped the girl, who had her head lowered and was obviously in shock.
...
"Mengmeng, are you okay?!"
Only then did the students next to him react and gathered around him.
"Why did you fall again?"
"I told you not to be distracted while walking, but you were distracted again, weren't you?"
...
Xiao Xiao let go and let the girl's classmates support the girl.
He took a few steps back to make room for the students.
"Master Xiao, your response is very quick."
Meng Jixi had to admit that in terms of observation and reaction ability, he was indeed inferior to Master Xiao.
Even if I have deliberately trained myself in these aspects since childhood.
After all, because of his family environment, when he was first asked what he wanted to do when he grew up, he said without hesitation that he wanted to be a police officer at that time.
This determination has not wavered until now.
And he was admitted to the Public Security University as he wished.
Soon, he will be an official police officer.
...
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Let's go."
Just after the two took two steps, a girl's voice came from behind, "Well, please wait a moment!"
The two turned around.
"Thanks-"
"Huh?!"
The words of thanks came to an abrupt end, and the girl opened her mouth in surprise.
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows moved slightly.
This is really an unexpected coincidence.
"It is you."
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
The girl who almost fell down and was held up by him just now is the same girl who almost fell down on the street a week ago and was held up by his hand.
This world always feels so small sometimes.
The girl who thought it was just a one-time encounter didn't expect to meet again so soon.
It was still a scene so similar to the first meeting.
"You still don't pay attention when walking."
Xiao Xiao pointed out the reason why the girl fell.
...
"ah!"
The girl finally came to her senses.
What a surprise.
I actually met the kind-hearted person from before again.
But why are we in the same situation as when we first met?
She almost fell and he saved her.
It's so embarrassing.
The girl only felt her cheeks feeling hot.
"That, that, thank you."
The girl thanked her quietly.
For a moment, I didn't dare to look at each other.
Since meeting a kind person last time, her gloomy mood has improved a lot.
However, this morning she heard that another person had committed suicide. Inexplicably, her heart skipped a beat, and someone seemed to be whispering in her ears.
She was suddenly extremely frightened.
For no apparent reason, it seemed like something terrible was about to happen.
At this time, a classmate patted her on the shoulder.
She was immediately frightened and screamed loudly, frightening everyone in the dormitory.
Facing her worried look, she smiled forcefully and said it was okay. She was just frightened when she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder when she was distracted.
After saying it, even she herself believed it.
She shook her head to get rid of the strange feeling in her heart.
However, my mood was affected after all.
She had not fallen for several days and fell again.
Although he was rescued.
However, she felt that this seemed to make her even more embarrassed.
In the eyes of the other party, she is probably really a very sloppy and clumsy girl, right?
...
"Dingling bell~"
The familiar bell rang, and the onlookers made a commotion and immediately ran to their classrooms.
"Mengmeng, let's go."
After the companion called a girl, he hurriedly followed the crowd.
"Let's go to class."
Xiao Xiao looked at the girl who was standing motionless.
"It's better to prepare for the bell now. If you run around, you can still make it to class."
However, looking at the girl who still had no reaction, he raised his eyebrows slightly and felt a little clearer in his heart, "Is something wrong?"
...
"......Um."
The girl nodded nervously.
She raised her head and glanced at Xiao Xiao, then glanced at the man next to the kindhearted person.
She has seen that man.
in the morning.
.......
"that......"
The girl clasped her hands together and said, "Mr. Police."
