After coming out of the gate of the community and turning a corner, Shen Xing carried a shovel to the location where Lin Wanru's body fell.
The place has been cleaned up, and even the sewage has been flushed. There is not much garbage smell at the moment, but there are still green garbage bins parked in the corner.
He opened the three trash cans close to the corner, endured the rising stench from the garbage alley, and rummaged through them one by one with a shovel.
But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find the dead dog that Uncle Wang mentioned.
Recalling carefully, the place that Uncle Wang was talking about must be here. There is no place around here that is more suitable for throwing a dead dog than here.
Ten minutes later, Shen Xing gave up searching, convinced that the dead dog was gone.
He stuffed the shovel into the trash can, found a small ramen shop not far from the alley, went into the kitchen and washed his hands with hand sanitizer, and ordered a large noodle dish with noodles and meat in the shop. Bowl of ramen.
While eating, he thought, Uncle Wang would definitely not tell lies, the dead dog must have existed just now, and it must have been thrown into the trash can.
He was a little stunned when he thought of this. This dead dog wouldn't be picked up and stewed by some guy who didn't want Bilian, right? !
Anyway, the people who pick it up don’t eat it themselves. They can make delicious dog meat and make money by selling it.
Thinking of this, Shen Xing had a strange look on his face, and couldn't help but ask the shop owner's wife who happened to be walking by: "Sister Hui, your shop is all about beef, not dog meat, right?"
Sister Hui stopped and looked at him seriously: "Xiao Shen, if you eat dog meat in this weather, I want to ask you, are you tired?"
"Just ask." Shen Xing chuckled, lowered his head and concentrated on eating noodles.
He usually doesn't eat a lot, but this extra bowl of beef ramen made his belly full.
After coming out of the ramen shop, Shen Xing was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he walked around the nearby streets twice to digest.
As night falls, more and more people are walking and shopping on the street, and a small square nearby is crowded with dancing aunts.
There are many missing floor tiles on the streets in this old city that have not been repaired, and you have to be careful when walking when there are many pedestrians.
After walking for half an hour, Shen Xing turned around and returned to Ivy League Community.
When I went upstairs, I saw that the place on the first floor where the dead dog originally appeared was now covered with a layer of gray-white fine ash, which can absorb moisture on the ground and prevent the stench from spreading.
It should have been done by Uncle Wang. This old man usually seems to have a hot temper, but in fact he has a good heart and likes to help his neighbors.
When passing by the third floor, Shen Xing noticed that Lin Wanru's residence was still surrounded by yellow warning tape and was still blocked.
He glanced twice and remembered the strange scene when Lin Wanru's body was standing at the end of his bed. He suddenly felt frightened. He took a few steps to the fourth floor, took out the key, opened the door, entered the room and closed the door.
I pressed the light switch, but nothing happened.
Shen Xing was stunned for a moment and pressed it twice more, but there was still no response. He looked at the water dispenser in the living room that was always plugged in. The green light that was always on had also been extinguished.
There should be a problem with the circuit at home.
Using the light outside the window, he walked towards the door of the bedroom, preparing to find a flashlight and see if the switch had tripped.
When I just walked to the door of the bedroom, I remembered that the flashlight had been smashed while fighting with Lin Wanru's body. At this moment, the broken flashlight was lying quietly in the trash can next to the sofa.
Shen Xing immediately turned around and was about to go downstairs to buy. Unexpectedly, at this moment, his eyes narrowed and he vaguely saw a foot wearing dark trousers at the door of the kitchen, quickly retracting into the kitchen.
Seeing this scene, Shen Xing immediately held his breath.
There is someone in the house!
Moreover, the light circuit is broken!
He immediately realized that this was probably not an accident. It might have been caused by the guy who sneaked into the house.
At the same moment, he felt deep resentment towards the lock on the living room door.
The lock must be changed. People from the investigation team can come in, and people hiding in the house can also come in. It feels like this lock has become purely a decoration.
He couldn't stay in the house any longer. He didn't know how long it had been since the person came in. Maybe the other person had already prepared a method against him and was just waiting for him to go home.
Shen Xing didn't believe that this person was a thief, because it couldn't be such a coincidence. Now, both Lin Wanru and the thief were patronizing him one after another in the past two days.
When he walked into the bedroom just now, the man who was obviously hiding in the kitchen was about to follow him, but he didn't expect that he suddenly turned around and walked out again, so he was discovered.
Moreover, this person was wearing ordinary trousers. He was not dressed like Lin Wanru's corpse. He should be a living person.
Shen Xing looked away, pretending not to see anything unusual at the kitchen door, and said to himself: "Why did the circuit breaker trip again?"
As he spoke, he came to the door of the living room and reached out to pull the door open.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the person in the kitchen seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. His figure appeared again, and then a small black shadow flew towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Shen Xing had just opened the door and had not had time to go out. After noticing something flying towards him, he squatted down almost subconsciously. With a pop, a kitchen knife sank into the door panel above his head, almost a third of the way in. one.
Because the doors in the old residential complex have not been replaced with metal security doors, it is easy for kitchen knives to embed in such wooden doors.
Looking up, Shen Xing suddenly broke into a cold sweat and felt a chill on the top of his head.
"Nima, you can throw kitchen knives so well, are you doing acrobatics?"
A thought came to him quickly. Before he could stand up completely, a tall man's figure at the door of the kitchen rushed out at the same time as the kitchen knife was thrown out, and hit him with an extremely violent shoulder hit.
Shen Xing was still standing still, and the hidden man had a majestic figure. With a bang, he was hit hard.
The two bodies pressed against the door panel of the living room, and the door suddenly clicked and twisted.
The tall man who knocked down Shen Xing moved quickly. After steadying himself, he grabbed Shen Xing's arm and tried to drag him into the house.
Unexpectedly, after grabbing the man, Shen Xing's five fingers formed a hook and became stronger, sinking into the muscles of the opponent's right arm, and instead grabbed the man forcefully.
The tall man's right arm hurt. He immediately grabbed the handle of the kitchen knife embedded in the door panel with his left hand, took it off, and slashed off Shen Xing's head, which was grabbing him.
There was no ambiguity about this knife, it was extremely powerful, and it was totally meant to kill someone.
In fact, Shen Xing's head was buzzing after being hit at the moment, but he also knew that the man had good intentions for his own life. After realizing that the kitchen knife was slashing towards his head, he immediately released the man's hands, and his side of his body, Head tilted to the left.
The kitchen knife fell quickly and hit the ground next to Shen Xing's right cheek. A string of sparks appeared on the ground.
The moment the kitchen knife passed by his face, Shen Xing really felt the strong wind blowing past his face. He was almost hit in the face. His cheeks were burning and his whole body's breathing was stagnant.
He immediately grabbed the man's left hand holding the knife, and a strange force exploded between the five fingers. There was a click, the man groaned, his wrist broke, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground.
The next second, the man punched Shen Xing on the bridge of his nose, causing blood to flow profusely.
Although Shen Xing's strength increased at this moment, his fighting experience was obviously not as rich as this tall man's. He could not avoid the punch and was hit so dizzy that his vision became blurred.
Taking this opportunity, the tall man pressed his right knee against his stomach. With his intact right hand, he grabbed the kitchen knife on the ground again. This time, he aimed it at his neck and chopped it down hard.
Shen Xing's whole body was numb, and he rolled his body desperately, barely avoiding the blade. The kitchen knife passed along the edge of his ear and cut into his shoulder with a thud.
Severe pain hit, and the left side of Shen Xing's body suddenly became numb, as if it no longer belonged to him.
He immediately stretched out his right hand and pinched the tall man's knee. Using all his strange strength, his five fingers were like iron.
There was just a click, and the man screamed in pain. Although his knee did not shatter immediately, it was at least broken.
This man never expected that using his own skills to sneak attack on Shen Xing would be easy. Who would have thought that Shen Xing, who was smaller than him and had a thinner body, would have ridiculously strong hands!
Although the opponent is injured now and he has the upper hand, it is because of the sneak attack that he gained the upper hand.
But the tall man was also injured, with a broken left wrist and a cracked left kneecap.
Enduring the severe pain from these two injuries, the man raised the kitchen knife again and was about to continue slashing at Shen Xing's neck.
In the corridor outside the door at the back, at this moment, I suddenly remembered a strange sound.
The sound sounded like teeth grinding, and it seemed to come from the throat, like a strong warning from some kind of animal before it was about to attack.
