Chapter 71: Capturing the Murderer in a Dream (2)
The man finished speaking, and she suddenly became quiet, shrinking back as if fainting, sitting stupidly on the edge of the bed. She buried her head tightly between her knees, her exposed shoulders shaking constantly, and soon a painful and sorrowful cry echoed through the room, evoking sympathy from those who heard it.
Xinran, why are you here? It looks like you've been imprisoned! Could it be... that Xinran didn't commit suicide? And what's with the video from the man's mouth that scared her so much? Xiaoyan's mind was filled with doubts, unclear clues, and complicated thoughts that disturbed her mind.
At this time, the man saw that Xinran had calmed down, his anger had subsided somewhat, and his ferocious face had also become more gentle. He gently stroked the back of Xinran's head, with a sly smile on his face, and said in a low voice:
"That's right. Be good and finish your porridge. I'll go take a bath first."
She didn't respond with a smile, and her deeply buried head didn't lift up either. At this moment, she was like a walking corpse without thoughts or emotions.
The man didn't pay attention, turned around by himself and took a change of clothes from the closet into a small bathroom next door. Before long, the sound of water came faintly from the bathroom.
Only when she knew he had left did she finally lift her head, wiping away the dense tears on her face with both hands, but still unable to stop sobbing, tears falling again, at a loss...
With a sudden movement, she turned her head and caught sight of the man's phone beside the hot congee, still emitting light. ——He hadn't taken his phone with him!
At this glance, she seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope in life, as if she saw a bright light ahead of a dark land! She's going to be saved!
She hastily crawled to the edge of the bed and carefully stretched out her hand to reach for the phone on the table...
A pair of jade hands getting closer and closer to the mobile phone, five centimeters, three centimeters, one centimeter...
She finally got her mobile phone and was overjoyed! She wanted to call her mom, she knew that her loving mom would definitely come to rescue her!
But she couldn't unlock the screen no matter what, and she was torn about what to do next, as time ticked away second by second...
When the sound of water in the bathroom disappeared, she couldn't hear it anymore.
Finally, she resolutely pressed the "emergency call" button, hastily dialing three numbers and connecting... At this moment, she didn't care about losing face or not!
"Beep...beep..." The beeping sound came from the phone, and Xinran's heart was praying "Pick up quickly! Pick up quickly!" Perhaps due to nervousness, her breathing began to quicken, her hands clenched into fists, her fingernails digging into her flesh, seemingly without any sensation.
"Hello, this is 110." Finally, the phone got through, and the sweet voice on the other end of the line made her feel a sense of security. She was going to be saved!
"What are you doing!" Just as Xin Ran was about to speak, the man in the bathroom suddenly rushed out with a loud roar!
What to do?! Xīnrán was stunned, the man immediately ran over like a flying bird, and before Xīnrán could react, the man's left hand had already snatched the phone, while his right hand quickly covered Xīnrán's mouth. Calmly and composed, he said into the phone:
"Sorry, sorry! The kid was just messing around!"
"Uh...uh..." She struggled with all her might, using the one free hand and a pair of legs to kick wildly, but her strength was nothing more than a tickle to the man. As the man let out a sigh and put down the phone, she knew she couldn't escape...She stopped her futile struggle, and tears fell like broken pearls, dropping one by one.
