At the breakfast table, the brother and sister sat opposite each other.
Tang Chao fiddled with the hard-boiled eggs in his hand, removed the shell, put them on the plate and pushed them over, without raising his head and said: "Do you see anything?"
"Ah?" Tangdou took the plate with a cute look on his face.
"Exaggerated acting skills." Tang Chao commented unceremoniously, "From the time you woke up early in the morning and washed up until now, you have peeked at me no less than five times, right?"
"Hey, I'm really concerned." Tangdou stuck out his tongue, and then said casually, "Brother, you got up a little early this morning, and last night, you came back so late?"
"I usually get up very early, so why don't I prepare breakfast for you, a lazy little guy? Last night? I told you on the phone that I was going to pick up an electric car. Well, the battery has been found. I will go out again today.
, they should be able to survive together.”
"Oh, that's it." The word "oh" was deliberately elongated, and the little girl made it clear that I didn't believe it.
Tang Chao looked up speechlessly: "What do you want to say?"
"No, really not... I just feel that my brother has been in good spirits these past two days and looks much younger."
"Is it so obvious?" Tang Chao touched his chin thoughtfully, and then said speechlessly, "Your brother is already very young, okay? He hasn't even passed his twentieth birthday yet."
"Brother, you know you are still young." After hearing this, the little girl couldn't help but vomit, "If you go out for a walk, you can find common topics with those old men, and the conversation will never end. It's only been a few days.
, now the older people in the community basically know that I am your sister, and they will say hello when they meet... It used to be like this in the southern suburbs, so many young ladies came to repair their cars, and they couldn't even say a few words to you. On the contrary, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li
They are all trivial things, but you can chat with them enthusiastically for a long time. Every time my classmates come to play with me, they are shocked when they see this. Do you know how to tell me?"
"How to say……"
"Those who know you are my brother, but those who don't know think you are my father."
"Ahem."
The past life and the present are superimposed. I am not your father's age. I am still the kind of person who marries late and has children... Tang Chao twitched the corner of his mouth and decisively ended the topic, "Have you eaten well? Eat well and go to school. Don't keep Fu Bo waiting for too long.
Already."
Uncle Fu is the housekeeper sent by the Xie family. He is responsible for taking Tangdou to and from school every day. He also takes Tangdou to the Xie family's old house on weekends.
The little girl hummed softly when she heard this, but did not continue to pester her. However, when she returned to her room, picked up her small schoolbag and went out, she lay down at the door of the kitchen and suddenly shouted at the back of Tang Chao who was washing dishes and tidying up, "Brother."
"Um?"
"I don't mind if you find me a sister-in-law, really, but you have to get my consent before we can date you. Haha, let's go!" He spoke very fast, and after finishing speaking, he didn't even look at Tang Chao, who was dumbfounded for a moment, kicking and kicking.
Run out the door.
Hold your forehead and shake your head.
Well, in addition to your opponents, the people who know you best are also your loved ones.
Although there is something wrong with the direction of the little girl's guess, it feels right. Tang Chao has indeed been a little excited in the past two days. The reason is also very simple. Anyone in the field they are familiar with will show a different temperament... There is no doubt that
The Wanwan killer who bumped into him gave him a long-lost sense of familiarity.
Similar to a cat that finds a mouse, it will not kill it casually. Instead, it will squat quietly aside, watching the mouse rack its brains to escape, then catch it with a paw, and then squat patiently to wait for the other party's next plan to escape...
…
The current mentality of the Tang Dynasty is this cat, and Wanwan Killer is the unknowing mouse.
What, Guo Mulan’s role?
Rice, eggs, earthworms... they are just like bait anyway.
Tang Chao didn't care. After all, everyone was unfamiliar, so the bait should be aware of the bait, right? However, in order to ensure that the game could continue, he didn't mind temporarily ensuring the safety of the bait.
…
The killer didn't take action that day.
It’s something to be expected. As mentioned before, accidental murder requires time and planning.
But he was not idle. Tang Chao followed him for a whole day. In the morning, he saw the opponent's identity as a disguised cleaner, successfully sneaked into the traffic team, checked the truck, and then came to the community where Guo Mulan lived again as an electrician. First, he
After retrieving the surveillance video, he sneaked into the latter's room and checked the bathroom window... Obviously, two unexpected assassination attempts failed, which made the other party a certain degree of vigilance.
But this is doomed to be a futile effort. One is doing it openly and the other is doing it covertly, and they are calculated mentally but not intentionally. If the other party can find out anything in this way, then the more than ten years of the previous life of the Tang Dynasty will have been in vain.
After finding nothing unusual, the killer followed Guo Mulan again in the afternoon. The latter seemed to have taken a leave of absence and did not go to work at the TV station or stay at home. Instead, he spent most of the day in the urban library.
, I brought my own bread for lunch and ate it while reading in the library.
It is said that there is a demon when something goes wrong. He suddenly had such a strong interest in learning, so naturally it was necessary to understand the reason. Then Tang Chao and the killer found out the books Guo Mulan was reading.
"Self-Study Tarot Cards", "Decryption of the Twelve Zodiac Signs", "On the Truth about Mercury Retrograde", "New Interpretation of the I Ching"...
From ancient times to the present, from China to the West, there are more than a dozen occult works of various kinds.
It can be called a model of not burning incense on a regular basis, but just cramming it into a temporary arrangement!
It has to be said that this mysterious operation played a very good role in concealing the eyes. The killer obviously relaxed his vigilance when he saw this, and then left the library and went out to arrange the next unexpected assassination... Of course, this is very good for
As far as the Tang Dynasty was concerned, because the game could continue. And if Guo Mulan knew that she was just out to read a book, and let the killer make up her mind to do it again, then she would probably never want to touch a book again in this life...
The method used by the killer this time seems to be to drop an object from a high altitude. A billboard on a certain commercial street that is under development has been in disrepair. As long as you move your hands and feet at a key position, it can easily fall and cause accidental casualties.
The usual method of adapting measures to local conditions and unexpected layout.
The focus is not on the carrier, but on how to get Guo Mulan to come here obediently. This is also what the Tang Dynasty is interested in.
The killer's method was very simple and clever. First, he used several anonymous phone cards to send several promotional text messages from a comprehensive shopping mall on the commercial street to Guo Mulan's mobile phone. Then he personally designed several shopping mall discount leaflets and posted them.
In the community, where Guo Mulan must pass when she goes home, the slogans in the advertisements are similar. The general meaning is that shopping is a woman's romance, and spending money is the best comfort for her mood!
bingo!
The words hit the mark, especially the last sentence, which is simply tailor-made for Guo Mulan's current situation. Even a marketing genius can only think of it like this!
The effect of the psychological suggestion was obvious. In the afternoon of the next day, Guo Mulan arrived as scheduled and appeared on the sidewalk of the commercial street. Because it was under development, there were only a few pedestrians left and right.
Well, this is also the established rule of modern killers. No matter what method of killing is adopted, ordinary outsiders are generally not involved. It is not that they are kind-hearted, but they are afraid of causing a big scene and causing trouble to deal with the aftermath.
The characters arrived, the time and place were right, and the billboards naturally fell in response.
However, there was something wrong with the accuracy... it didn't hit Guo Mulan, but missed a few steps and landed behind her. The closest thing was a steel pipe about ten centimeters from the heel, inserted straight into the ground.
There was a huge commotion, and the originally deserted streets suddenly rang out with screams. The owner of the store where the billboard belonged rushed out immediately, with an earthy face. However, the state of the person involved, Guo Mulan, was a bit strange, and he stared blankly at the scattered places.
The billboard, and then looked at the steel pipe close at hand, a little panicked, but more calm, or numb.
I rubbed my forehead, which was hit by a splashed plastic fragment and turned a little red.
"It's okay, it's not your problem... You don't need to go to the hospital. I checked recently and it's Mercury retrograde..."
The shop owner's face turned even paler when he heard this. It's over, this is a hit in the brain!
Across the street, the killer pretending to be a passer-by watched this scene with an expressionless face, but his chest heaved violently several times. Bang, he punched the trash can next to him and strode away without looking back.
Immediately, Tang Chao appeared and passed by. He threw a small bottle of newly opened 502 strong glue into the trash can, whistled, and continued to follow in a happy mood.
What tricks will be used next? Hey, I’m really curious!
…
In fact, there is no need to be curious at all, the killer’s next move will be very, very soon!
An hour later, it was still the same neighborhood where Guo Mulan lived. The killer appeared holding a huge flower pot. He didn't even make a basic disguise. He just walked in calmly, climbed to the rooftop, and then sat cross-legged, dead.
Stare in the direction of the intersection.
In the corner downstairs, Tang Chao looked up, a little dazed for a moment.
this……
Or a falling object?
Okay, forget about the same tricks, what's the point of going into battle in person?
You must know that this is a very unprofessional behavior for the killer who accidentally arranged it, and it is easy to put yourself in it.
The Tang Dynasty couldn't understand it.
But what he didn't expect when he was actually having fun was that several careful layouts ended in unexpected failures. As a result, not only did Guo Mulan become numb, but his killer mentality also collapsed. Not to mention the latter
I also encountered other fucking trivial things. Not only was my battery stolen, but I also encountered a few robbers. It can be said that everything went wrong.
Finally, the killer got fed up, and the time given by his employer was really limited, so he decided to play something simple and crude.
Sit back and wait, stand still and output!
Not long after, bang, a huge flowerpot smashed in front of Guo Mulan... The person involved was unscathed.
Don't get me wrong, although this time the technique may be a bit unprofessional, there is no problem with the killer's actual operation. It was just that Guo Mulan was walking well and suddenly stopped by some strange coincidence.
As for the reason, it might be the glass refraction on which floor... Well, it was Tang Chao holding a small mirror, refracting the sun's rays and shaking Guo Mulan's eyes, causing the latter to stop subconsciously, raise his hand to cover it, and stop walking.
Two steps, which resulted in failure.
"Can't see, can't see...I can't see anything..."
After muttering a few words, Guo Mulan silently walked around the broken flowerpot and walked into the building. He hesitated in front of the elevator, and finally decided to take the stairs. Although her home was on the seventh floor, it was better to put in some effort than to die, anyway.
She no longer believes in anything outside her body.
So, on the sixth floor, Guo Mulan unexpectedly met the killer who also came down the stairs.
Both of them were in a trance and didn't notice the sound of footsteps. They didn't notice each other until they saw each other across the stairs.
Nodding, even though she didn't recognize him, Guo Mulan still subconsciously maintained basic etiquette after coming back to her senses.
The killer nodded in return.
The two passed each other, and the killer paused slightly and moved his fingertips, but in the end he did not make any movement. He allowed the unsuspecting Guo Mulan to turn the corner and disappear.
Stopping, the killer looked up, struggling a bit. After a long time, the wire that slipped from his palm was put back into his sleeve again, and he walked down without looking back.
