Chapter 21 (1/2)

Hu Xing thought that Qingmu went upstairs, and she was the only one left on the dark stairs. The mother and son in the basement are still there. One is kneeling, the other is standing, and they don't speak. The atmosphere is very strange.

As a criminal policeman, she has seen many big scenes, but women's natural fear of darkness and loneliness makes her very uncomfortable.

Damn Aoki! I walked so fast without saying a word!

She cursed in her heart. She was about to go back upstairs. She turned and saw a dark shadow walking down behind her.

She was startled. Seeing the outline of a chicken nest head on the shadow's head, she patted her chest with confidence, pressed her throat and said, ”what are you doing down again?”

The shadow saw her turn and stopped.

Hu Xing suddenly found something wrong. Although Aoki's stature is also quite tall, he generally looks gentle, like an intellectual in the second middle school. In front of him, the dark shadow is obviously stronger than Aoki, and the hair on his head is more messy, like an explosive head than a chicken Wotou.

With the police's keen intuition, she reached out and pulled out the gun.

At this time, the shadow also moved, and the seemingly huge body stepped on the steps without a sound, like a ghost.

Hu Xing held up the gun and suddenly felt dizzy in his head. She fell back violently, hit the wall heavily, hurt her elbow, and the gun in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

The shadow seemed to realize something and rushed over with a low roar.

Hu Xing remembered that the roar seemed to have been heard in the backyard before. She thought Ma Fuqing had a Tibetan mastiff.

What's this?

No matter what it was, Hu Xing was powerless to resist.

She was very dizzy and her stomach rolled like she would wake up after a hangover. She could do nothing but watch the shadow pounce on her.

Seeing that the shadow was about to jump on her, she heard a loud bang, and then lit up a faint blue light.

Aoki appeared on the stairs with a mobile phone that lit up the screen. The dark figure was kicked over by him, and then he climbed upstairs. His action was as agile as an ape.

The light of the mobile phone was very weak, and Hu Xing couldn't see what it was.

Aoki held Hu Xing and asked, ”are you okay?”

”Watermelon... Poisonous...” Hu Xing leaned softly on Qingmu's shoulder.

”I'll help you up first.”

Aoki helped Hu Xing up the stairs. When he came to the first floor, he found that the iron fence door on the stairs was locked.

This iron door is made of stainless steel bars. It is not an ordinary aluminum alloy anti-theft door. It is very solid.

What kind of people need such a solid iron door?

Aoki remembers that the gate outside Ma Fuqing's house is very ordinary. If it's not to prevent outsiders from coming in, it's to prevent something from running out.

”My gun... Is... Below...” Hu Xing said weakly on Qingmu.

Aoki helped her down again, shining his mobile phone on the stairs until he found no gun in the basement.

The mother and son in the basement are gone.

Aoki saw that there were tables and chairs in the basement, so he helped Hu Xing to sit down there.

He opened Hu Xing's eyelids and asked Hu Xing to stick out his tongue and shine it with the light of his mobile phone.

Aoki preliminarily judged that she was taking neurohallucinogenic hypnotic drugs such as triazolam. From the morning to now, Hu Xing only ate a few watermelons cut by Ma Fuqing, in addition to drinking mineral water in Lu County criminal police team.

Aoki carefully recalled the whole process.

He didn't eat melons because he smoked. Ma Fuqing fed melons to his mother, but he didn't eat them. Ma Fuqing's mother didn't eat them because she disliked that the melon seeds were not clean.

Finally, only Hu Xing ate the watermelon on the table.
