Come on Snake

Shao Yuxi's death was mysterious. Even if I told the truth, the police would not believe it.

I endured the guilt and shook my head.

I didn't kill Shao Yuxi, so I don't even know what I feel guilty about.

The police glanced at me, then looked at the police dog that kept trying to rush into the house. They produced a search warrant, and in my mother's dissatisfaction, they followed the dog straight to the second floor.

Realizing what their purpose was, my mind buzzed and I hurried to catch up.

However, it was already too late. They opened the drawer with the yellow paper and cinnabar, and were taking out the items one by one and spreading them on the open floor of my room.

The puppet doll that is connected to my life is also here. If it falls into the hands of these people who don't believe in ghosts and gods, I don't know if they will accidentally pull out the spike and kill me.

My body was shaking slightly, and the leading police officer asked me: "You don't know the whereabouts of Shao Yuxi, why do you have her things?"

I tried to calm myself down: "She and I are friends, isn't it normal to have her things?"

"But these things of yours are very abnormal." The policeman picked up the linen cloth embroidered with blood-colored words.

"That belongs to Shao Yuxi. I don't know what it is used for." I told the truth.

"When did she give it to you?" the policeman asked.

After thinking for a moment, I simply explained what happened in the old town, but omitted some key content: "I originally wanted to talk to Shao Yuxi about filling out the college entrance examination application that day, but I couldn't get through to her, so I checked the surveillance system and followed

She went to Old Town. I saw her flipping these things in a warehouse in Old Town, but after squatting down and tying her shoelaces, she disappeared, leaving only these things."

The policeman was puzzled: "What do you mean she disappeared?"

"She just disappeared. I don't know where she went. I was afraid that she would still need these things, so I brought them back first."

"Then why didn't you give the things to her mother?" the police asked.

"I originally wanted to give it to her, but because Aunt Cheng had a boyfriend, Shao Yuxi was not very happy. I was afraid that Aunt Cheng would throw these things away, so I didn't give it to her." After I finished speaking, I admired myself for being able to make it up.

Say these words.

The policemen looked at each other, found no flaws, and continued to ask: "She hasn't contacted you for so many days, don't you suspect that something happened to her?"

"Aunt Cheng said that Shao Yuxi went to her father's place and didn't want to contact us. She's not even in a hurry as a mother, so why should I be in a hurry?"

I tracked Shao Yuxi to the old town. There was surveillance and witnesses, so I couldn't escape. Now that the police can come to my house with a police dog and a search warrant, it means they must have found some clues.

Instead of giving them the impression that I might be a murderer, I might as well tell everything I can. As for the true cause of Shao Yuxi's death, they don't believe me even if I tell them, so it's better not to tell them.

I handed over all the things that belonged to Shao Yuxi in the cabinet, and the police dog wagging its tail sniffed the side cabinet of the desk.

The puppet doll and the spell notes were hidden there. I felt bad and secretly glared at the alert dog.

Unexpectedly, the dog seemed to be frightened suddenly, and the hair all over his body stood up. He tightened his tail and ran away behind the trainer, not daring to come forward again.

There was a hidden compartment in the side cabinet. After the police rummaged around and found nothing else, they saw that I was still cooperative and asked me to take them to the old town area where they last saw Shao Yuxi.

I took them to the warehouse.

When I left here that day, I noticed that there were no surveillance cameras nearby, and there were no witnesses. No one knew what happened in the warehouse except Yun Xiao and me.

The warehouse is still the same as before. After omitting the puppet doll and the spelling handwriting, I truthfully explained how I picked up the things here.

The policemen frowned and talked secretly, suspecting that Shao Yuxi was involved in some evil cult organization.

A middle-aged man behind them suddenly asked me: "Did you destroy the formation on the ground?"

He was there when I went to my house to investigate, and I initially thought he was a plainclothes man. But now his tone of voice was not friendly, which was different from the business-like manner of other police officers. I even noticed a trace of evil in this man's eyes.

I decided to play dumb: "Are you talking about these patterns on the ground? They were like this when I came here."

The man reached out and wiped the traces of the formation on the ground. The formation that I couldn't remove with a shovel actually left a mark on his finger that turned from red to black.

The man twisted it repeatedly for a while, as if feeling the power inside, and then became furious: "You lied! The blood array is of different colors, it must not have been completed at the same time!"

This is actually an expert. I am worried that he will find the loopholes in my words and be a little scared.

A policeman stopped him: "Mr. Shao, we understand your worries about your daughter. But feudal superstition cannot be believed. Please stay calm."

It turns out that he is Shao Yuxi’s father, Shao Changdong. Did Shao Yuxi learn his magic from him?

I was even more panicked. I didn't know if this matter could be fooled.

The police asked me again and again, but I was convinced that I didn't know anything else.

They checked all the warehouses and factories in the old town and found nothing. On the contrary, they discovered from the peripheral surveillance that Shao Yuxi often comes here. This is my first time here. No matter how I look at it, Shao Yuxi is more suspicious than me.

By the time I got home, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. While cooking for me, my mother complained: "They have embarrassed their family and hurt us. I was scared to death when the police took out the search warrant today. Fortunately, you're okay. I don't know where Yuxi has gone. She can't really be related to any evil cult, right?"

I didn't know much more than my mother, so I could only shake my head.

She didn't expect me to answer these, so she brought out two bowls of noodles and said, "Eat early and go to bed early. Don't turn the air conditioner too low at night. I always feel that it's chilly at home recently."

The house snake comes out for a walk every night, and the evil spirit is so strong that it spreads all over the building. Is it not cold?

After finishing my late dinner, I went upstairs to sleep.

When I opened the curtains, I saw the lights in Shao Yuxi's house were on, and from time to time there could be heard quarreling between Aunt Cheng and Shao Changdong.

Shao Changdong: "If you hadn't been looking for a second love for yourself, how could Yuxi have been lost?"

Aunt Cheng: "You have the nerve to criticize me? When I was taking care of Yuxi, all the women outside you could form a reinforcement company! It's not against the law for me to fall in love again after divorce!"

"You're such an old-fashioned person and you don't even look in the mirror? Do you really think you have the capital to find a pretty boy?"

"My charm is still there, if you don't cherish it, there are many people who do!"

…

The two of them were arguing fiercely, and I didn't want to hear it, so I closed the curtains and stopped paying attention.

Not long after I lay down, the demonic aura of the house snake filled the entire small building, and my nerves suddenly became tense.

It has been going to Aunt Cheng every night recently. Now that Shao Changdong is still quarreling with Aunt Cheng next door, won't the house-killing snake directly confront him?

Come on Snake, you can't lose to this scumbag ex-husband!
