Chapter 1015 A stranger at home! Melissa is being followed!
"who is he?"
As soon as Melissa got up and walked out of her room, she saw a strange man in the house.
"Don't you know him?"
Klein looked at him with some suspicion. Just now he clearly said he knew his sister, why didn't his sister know him?
"Why should I know him?" Melissa became angry.
Everyone she recognized or didn't know was led into the house, and she also obeyed this somewhat "mentally retarded" brother!
Klein saw his sister's contempt for him and was not angry: "But he said he knew you."
what's the situation?
Melissa became serious and came to Qianye to size him up. After much deliberation, she still had no impression at all: "You said you know me?"
Chiba: "Yes."
"But I don't know you?" Audrey's eyes flashed, completely unimpressed.
Klein looked confused.
Chiba: "We were strangers once, we were familiar the second time. Don't we know each other now?"
Melissa: “…”
Klein: "..."
"What's your name?" Melissa asked with a cold face.
"Qianye, his name is Qianye!" Klein added on the side.
Melissa nodded: "Qianye, right? What is your purpose?"
"Well, I thought you'd know."
"What?" Melissa asked, confused as to what he wanted to express.
"goodbye!"
Before she could say anything more, Chiba turned around and walked out the door.
The brother and sister were stunned, watching him open the door, then close the door and leave. They really didn't know what he was doing at home.
Melissa turned back and spread her hands to Klein: "It's boring! Okay, I'm going to make breakfast. I don't want anyone to take it home from now on."
Blame me!
Klein spread his hands to show that he was innocent.
But it seems that this person's figure seems to have some impression.
He thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, so he gave up.
Melissa went to the stove and boiled a pot of water and put in a few pieces of inferior tea leaves, which looked a bit like tea.
After boiling, they brought it to the table and each person poured a cup. He also took out two pieces of black bread, one each, and the brother and sister simply ate it.
"Klein, there is no bread at home. Just buy eight pounds. There are also mutton and peas. I will make mutton and pea soup for you tonight."
Klein: "...Okay!"
"By the way, you really don't know that young man just now?" Klein asked.
Melissa shook her head: "I don't know you at all!"
Then he asked: "You don't know him either?"
Klein shook his head: "That's weird. He said he lived in the apartment next door. He also said he knew you and wanted to see you for something. Then he left without saying anything. Do you think it's weird?"
Melissa fell into deep thought and couldn't figure out why this person said he knew her and left without saying anything: "It's a bit weird!"
After Melissa finished eating, she picked up the old pocket watch on the table and took a look at it, then hurriedly changed her clothes and shoes and went out.
When closing the door, she turned back and said: "Today is not Sunday, and Benson will not be back, so buy less peas and mutton. Remember, you only need eight pounds of bread."
Klein: "..."
I am convinced by this younger sister, so much so that she is not like my younger sister, just like my older sister taking care of her "mentally retarded" younger brother. She has completely become the housekeeper of the family, taking care of some of the family's worries. It is also difficult for her. Since she is so young, she has
Endless heart.
"Yes!"
Klein still responded.
Melissa then felt relieved and closed the door and left.
Klein looked at the closed door and finally no longer had to play the role of second brother.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, he thought of the revolver in the drawer.
He took out the gun, looked at himself in the mirror, and began to recall the whole story.
The cause of death of the original owner.
Was it suicide or homicide?
Looking at the notepad on the table, I seem to be able to find some clues.
And who was that strange boy just now?
It was clear that Melissa didn't know him, but he said he knew Melissa, and left again without saying anything to Melissa?
He said he had something to do with Melissa, was it just an excuse?
So, could the death of the original owner be related to him?
Klein felt that everything was full of doubts, so he traveled through time. He didn't expect to encounter such a big mystery!
"Maybe he could even take his own life again!"
"No! I can't sit still and wait for death. I must find the source of the original owner's death and protect myself and my family."
"Forget it, let's go out for a walk, finish the things Melissa told me first, and get familiar with the world. Maybe I will have some clues."
So he put on his hat and coat and went out.
…
It is said that after Melissa went out, she did not go to the roadside to wait for the public carriage to take the bus to Tingen Technical School, but walked there, not for anything else, but to save money.
After all, a public carriage costs one penny, which is equivalent to four yuan, to travel one kilometer. The family is not rich, and her parents are gone. The eldest brother, Benson, only supports the family by working alone. She has been a sensible housekeeper since she was a child.
Be frugal and save whatever you can. Instead of going out in advance, I plan to walk to school.
The distance from the apartment to the school is a bit long, and it takes at least fifty minutes to walk there. If the weather is good, walking in the morning can be used as exercise, but it is not easy to walk when it is windy or rainy, and it is not safe.
Fortunately, the public security in Tingen City, Ahova County is pretty good, and generally nothing will happen.
Since Melissa was admitted to Tingen Technical School, she has walked from her apartment to this school not once or twice.
Although she had money for the bus ride, she just couldn't bear it.
Saving a little every day, yes, keeping this money can also reduce some family burdens and supplement some household expenses.
Although Benson and Klein did not support her doing this, she still persisted every day.
At the age of fifteen, she has grown into a slim and beautiful girl. Although she looks a little pale and bloodless due to malnutrition, she can't stop her youthful atmosphere, smooth skin, smart eyes, and beauty.
's back.
Da da da~
Melissa walked and walked, feeling that today seemed different from usual.
In fact, it wasn't that she was careless, there must have been footsteps behind her. After all, this was a public place, the sidewalk next to the main road, how could no one be walking.
It's just that this footsteps are different. They are always behind her. With her somewhat precocious mind, she can tell that the footsteps behind her belong to the same person.
A person is always behind. Melissa inevitably thought of a key word in her mind, "tracking".
Is someone following me?
She couldn't figure it out. She was just a simple student at Tingen Technical School. She didn't provoke anyone, so why were others following her?
The more Melissa thought about it, the more uneasy she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Was there someone who was plotting against her? Someone had been targeting her a long time ago, but they only waited until today to attack her?
It was still early, and one or two carriages occasionally passed by on the road, but no other pedestrians could be seen.
Although she is not walking this road alone and is not timid, it is strange that she is not afraid of such a thing as a defenseless girl.
Melissa suddenly looked back and was immediately stunned. It turned out that this person was none other than the person she had just met. It was him named Qianye.
When I was having breakfast just now, I asked Klein about it. He said that this person lived next door to the apartment where he lived, and he could be considered a neighbor. He felt relieved.
But why did he follow him? Was he on the same path as him?
