I was scared silly by the redness as I instinctively hugged the little child tightly in my embrace.
His mother's body had already been crushed under the tyre. Her body was badly mangled, but she still tried her best to raise her head.
Seeing the unharmed child in my arms, he smiled and opened his mouth towards me. He said softly, "Thank you!"
She tried to stretch her head towards me to look at her child, but she couldn't bring herself to do so. Following that, her head slowly drooped, but her eyes remained fixed on the child in my embrace.
With one hand, I held the baby who didn't know fear and tears, while the other hand, I tightly pulled at Hu Guyue who roared towards the sky. Warm tears flowed down, and the people around us all gathered around, the driver got off the car with a pale face and weak legs, and looked at the mother who died with grievance under the car, the passenger screamed in fear.
I couldn't hear any of these voices anymore. I quietly looked at the mother's corpse, then pulled Hu Guyue who was powerless to continue shouting, and held the child in my arms as we retreated to the side of the road.
The child tried to turn back to look for his mother several times, but I held him tightly in my arms. I didn't dare let him see that horrible scene, much less let him know that his mother, who was able to hide a cat behind the billboard, couldn't accompany him anymore.
He became unwilling and kept squirming in my arms as he yelled, "Mom! Mom!
In order to prevent him from crying and Hu Guyue from staring at the scene in a daze, I hurriedly brought them to a canteen to the side and sat down.
The police arrived right away. When Director Ding saw me, his expression darkened a little, but he pretended as if he didn't see anything. He called the police to take a picture at the scene and called the traffic police of the county to come over.
The child's family arrived at once, and were directed by the passengers to find us, but no matter how they coaxed us, the child suddenly remained in my arms and refused to leave.
I coaxed him for a while, and his father handed him the sugar in tears before he could reach out for his father to hold it.
"Thank you!" His father was a burly man. The moment he received the child, tears flowed down his face.
He turned his head away and bit his lips to hold himself back. His eyes were red and snot flowed out of them, but he still kept saying to me, "Thank you!" "Thank you!"
"Don't cry, dung, don't cry!" The child tried his best to wave his hands, and his chubby little hands tried to touch the tears on his father's face. His bright red little mouth kissed him. "Look for mom, mom —"
The child's voice still carried the tone of a babyish child as his words bounced out one by one. Seeing his father cry, it seemed as if his heart ached.
The man hugged the child tightly, burying his head beside his strength. He could no longer control it and cried out.
Ah!" As if infected by this crying sound, Hu Gu Yue suddenly shouted loudly into the sky, before shaking off my hand and running away.
I looked at the man who was crying so hard that his whole body was trembling. Then I looked at the boy who was waving at his father, pouting, and calling out to his mother.
There's a kind of heartache in this world, letting you know that a tragedy is about to happen, yet you can only watch as Hu Guyue suffers.
That feeling of helplessness and paleness made people doubt the entire world.
I nodded towards Director Ding, then patted on the man's shoulders and chased after Hu Guyue.
Unexpectedly, he ran all the way to the furniture factory and stood quietly in front of the pool of blood mixed with red paint that he had washed from the wardrobe yesterday. Perhaps it was because of the infiltration under the water, but the red paint did not seep into the soil and instead dyed it red.
"Hu Guyue." I walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
He suddenly turned around and hugged me and cried.
Then all words were powerless, and I put my arms around his head and let him cry.
After he came back, I had secretly asked Hu Guyue just what was the difference between a natural born pair of pupils.
He gave me a list of people with the same double pupils in history, and asked me to find something in common with them, but I couldn't find anything, only that they were well-known people.
But Liu Kunsheng instead said to me: "When you truly know what they have in common, you will realize that this world itself is a cruel existence."
Now, I suddenly understood that this world is indeed cruel.
In the end, Hu Guyue and I missed our lunch. I accompanied him as he stood in the furniture factory's empty space looking at the bright red color. My mother called me a few times, but I ended up turning off my phone.
Hu Guyue had lost all his strength in the end. He slid down my body and sat on the floor, and said softly: "Yesterday, I saw my mother in the wardrobe."
"She was as gentle as she was when she was young. She waved at me and smiled as she called me darling." Hu Guyue's eyes became empty, the pupils in his eyes unmoving.
"I know." I took her in my arms and knew he was talking about yesterday's visit to the closet.
He was a child, not tempted by women, but he was thinking of his mother.
The Director Ding found us not long after we sat down, because we were at the scene of the crime.
Hu Guyue had been silent the entire time, and I could only answer as usual. It was just that we came to town today to buy things, and just happened to encounter this matter, so we rushed over in an attempt to save our child.
"Is that really the case?" Director Ding stared straight at me, as though she couldn't believe it.
I shook my head and laughed bitterly, pointing at Hu Guyue, I said to him: "This is the first time that he's seen something like this, but he's been scared silly."
"Hai." Director Ding sighed and looked at me helplessly. "I feel that ever since you took out that dripping corpse, there have been a lot of things happening in this town."
"These things happened in the past, but none of you noticed it." I can't take responsibility for this, so I waved towards Director Ding, pulled Hu Guyue and prepared to go home.
Seeing that we were about to leave, the Director Ding said to me, "The Municipal Public Security Bureau's special investigation team has arrived."
"Yes." I knew he was talking about the white- faced case, but I didn't want to be involved.
"The murderer was very professional and didn't leave any fingerprints. All the evidence and clues we thought were available were useless. The task force thinks that he has committed the crime more than once, because the first time he couldn't have been so skillful, especially when he was bleeding through his skin while breaking the bones of people one by one. This requires a very high level of medical knowledge and experience. " Director Ding looked at me, took out his cigarette and took a deep breath, "Since she has found all of you, she will help her people to the end. The grave grievances are clear, this is a petition for my people, to save people from fire and water, isn't that what you people should do?"
Hearing his words, my eyelids jumped. I felt Hu Guyue's grip on my hand tighten as he thought, this isn't good.
"No!" We are not! " Sure enough, after he said that, Hu Guyue suddenly shouted at him: You guys are the one to save me, why me! Why! "
I immediately hugged him tightly and comforted him gently, "It's fine, it's fine. He just casually said that it's fine!"
He panted heavily with unwillingness in his eyes.
"As you can see, he's emotionally unstable and can't be of any help. "If today's matter is recorded, I can go with you guys. After all, he is still just a child." Laughing apologetically at the Director Ding, I pulled Hu Guyue and slowly walked out.
I could feel the Director Ding's gaze following us from behind, but I didn't dare to look back.
When we arrived at the furniture factory entrance, Director Ding suddenly shouted at me: "Qin Chenmo, you must remember that there are some things that we cannot decide on, but what we must do is to make sure that even fewer people are harmed. That's what the headmaster told us when I graduated from the police academy. I also want you to remember that even though this world is shrouded in darkness, we have to do our best to clear away this darkness so that people can see the light. "
I lightly nodded my head and pulled Hu Guyue out of the furniture factory's main door.
The moment he stepped out of the furniture factory's door, he saw the black hair fluttering in the air in front of him. A blank face with a blank face stood not far away, silently looking at the furniture factory's door, black hair fluttering in the air.
She still had no features, no eyes, but I knew she was looking at us.
Amidst the fluttering of his long hair, there were also many deathly pale faces.
But I knew it wasn't her face. Her naked body and hair were squashed together on the glass bottle, sticking to her hair.
She found me again.
