Chapter 12 10. Suspicion

September 25, 200X at 5:17 AM "Hey, hello, big sister, wake up." With a slight call, the single mother opened her sleepy eyes, and saw the two young people in front of her through the dim light."What's the matter, you guys?" she asked. "Someone has been killed, can you still sleep?" the fashionable girl asked. The single mother smiled wryly: "What can I do if this kind of thing happens? I can't just stay up all the time." The boy with a fair face blinked and said, "You don't seem to realize that the murderer is one of us, and we are still in danger."

"Of course I realize it. But we are already in danger. Why should we be afraid of another murderer?" The single mother said exhaustedly, "Besides, I don't know who he (she) is, and I have no way Watch out." "We have always been in danger. Before, the threats were from outside and didn't really hurt us. But this time, the danger came from within us and threatened our lives from time to time. We just We can no longer sit idly by." Single mom stares at fashion girl: "So what do you want to do?" "Do you remember what was the last word that murdered bearded man said last night?" the fashionable girl asked.

The single mother thought for a while: "He seems to be saying that at nine o'clock this morning, no matter what, he will definitely smash the door, and threatens none of us to stop him." "Yes." The fashionable girl said in a low voice, "Think about it, after he said these words, he was quietly killed within a few hours, what does that mean?" The single mother straightened up and seemed to understand: "You mean..." "Of course it is. That big man was undoubtedly killed by one of those people who disapproved of smashing the door, otherwise, I can't think of any other motive." The fashionable girl looked solemn.

"Think about it, no one will propose to smash that door at nine o'clock this morning—of course, the premise is that the three of us no longer insist on going out." The boy with a fair face added. At this time, the single mother fully understood the purpose of the two of them to find her, and she said: "I understand, apart from that big man, the only ones who agree to go out are the three of us. If we still insist on smashing the door in the morning If we go out, the next victim may be one of us." "Thank God, you finally understand what we mean." The boy with a fair face let out a breath.

The single mother said: "Then you came to talk to me, just to let me stop talking about going out in the morning?" "Not only you, we also need it." The fashionable girl said, "I think we have to take the initiative to show our attitude before the murderer wants to attack us, and let everyone know that we have given up the idea of ​​going out." The single mother frowned and said, "I don't think it's so scary. After all, that big man is the main threat to them, and we are all just going along with him. Now that the big man is dead, it is necessary to put Shall we kill all three of us too?"

"Who knows? Anyway, the murderer has already started to kill. To him, killing one is not the same as killing several." The boy with a fair face said worriedly, "I'm afraid that he won't stop doing two." The single mother sighed sadly: "Actually, I'm not afraid of him coming to kill me or something. Anyway, I'm a little hopeless. If he really kills me, it will set me free." The boy with a fair face looked at her worriedly: "What do you mean by that... don't you insist on going out in the morning?" The single mother shook her head despondently and said, "What's the point of me insisting on it alone? Even if I want to, I can't do it. With my own strength, it is definitely impossible to break that door open. Now , just leave it to fate."

The fashionable girl looked at her depressed appearance, and comforted her: "Don't be so discouraged, maybe we are lucky, just wait patiently for a few more days, and the rescuers will come." The single mother smiled wryly and said nothing. Then, the fashionable girl and the boy with a pretty face said some words of encouragement and comfort to each other.I don't have the heart to listen any more. It's only past six in the morning, and I guess they must have thought their whispered conversation wasn't overheard by anyone who was asleep.But they didn't know that I, who was only two shelves away from them, hadn't fallen asleep at all since the murder, and I had heard all their conversations just now.

I think Fashion Girl's analysis makes a lot of sense.Indeed, the murderous motive was clearly one of those people who objected to getting out.I guess she and her boyfriend hid in another more secret corner at this moment, and further analyzed: middle-aged uncle, fat woman, female shop assistant, and of course me—who among these people is more likely to be the murderer? I sighed sadly in my heart—her analysis was reasonable, but there were serious omissions—those who didn’t express their opinions may not really have no thoughts in their hearts.In fact, the kind of people who keep silent and hide their true thoughts are sometimes the scariest.

But the problem is that they didn't have the slightest idea that the murderer might be that teenage boy, which really disappointed me. I suddenly realized that I might be the only one among these people who actually guessed the identity of the murderer.But what should I do?If I were to tell someone that I suspected the boy was the murderer just because I saw him walking around the supermarket in the middle of the night, it would be a little too convincing.Others will only think that he just got up to go to the toilet, and I really have no real evidence to prove that he killed someone.As for the fact that he handed me a fruit knife suggestively a few days ago, even I myself find it strange and inconceivable.So don't tell others.

But I thought, if I don't do something, will the boy continue to kill people?Or, will he attack me?Thinking of this, I feel panic, but there is nothing I can do. I have been thinking hard, falling into deep confusion and embarrassment.
