This is the thirteenth time that the girl has seen a group of stray cats passing by in groups. Whenever these stray cats pass by, she always stands on her little toes and holds them tightly with her hands. Looking at the balcony railing, his eyes followed the group of stray cats of different colors.
When the stray cats got in through the hole in the fence, the girl's heart seemed to leave with the stray cats. The girl sat by the window blankly, staring blankly at the sky. There is no trace of a bird in the sky, but the bird has already flown. As for her, she seems to be a canary imprisoned in a small room.
She got off the railing and stood on the balcony in a daze. Her family lived on the third floor, and the balcony was not sealed. Sometimes the girl thought that if she jumped from here, she might not fall to her death. Because she once saw a cat jumping directly from her balcony.
She was very worried at the time, but after the cat landed, it shook the fur on its body and left.
She turned her head and looked at her piano, which was a big piano.
"What are you doing?" A woman with a strong dialect voice said: "I don't learn the piano well every day, why are you in a daze? You see, Wang Xiaoming next door has passed the eighth grade at a young age. Learn quickly. What's going on recently? So many dead flies, buzzing, it's really annoying."
A man's voice also sounded: "I heard that Boss Wang from the street in front has disappeared recently."
"Which Boss Wang?" the woman asked.
The man threw his clothes on the sofa and said, "That's the female boss."
"Oh." The woman rolled her eyes and said, "The woman left as soon as she left. I guess she was going to get in touch with some man. What's the matter? You still feel a little pity? You don't even look at that thing, you wear it every day." It's as if you can't afford clothes at home. What are you doing sitting around, cooking!"
As she spoke, the woman closed the windows of the house while driving away the flies in the house.
After a while, the sound of the piano came out, the sound was beautiful and pleasant.
But no one knows, the girl's sadness.
The girl stood at the window and made a wish to those stray cats: cats, can you take me away too
She stared at the dark hole every day in a daze. At night, she dreamed that she also became a kitten and slipped out of that hole. The girl likes these cats very much, but at night, the girl is very afraid. Those cats seemed to be deadly ghosts at night.
Several times, when the moonlight shone on the balcony, she could always see the shadow of something on the curtain.
Then, those shadows meowed like cats, and the girl realized that the people on her balcony were all cats. And more often, these feral stray cats will fight on their own balconies, making some weird and miserable sounds, like the screams of women, and sometimes like the cries of babies.
Every time, she covered her head under the quilt, and sometimes she thought, why does such a cute little animal make such frightening noises? Unlike the meow of a pet cat, it seemed to be a hysterical and heart-piercing cry. At this time, she would tightly lock the door leading to the balcony, not thinking about what happened outside.
Sometimes the little girl wonders, where do these stray cats go every day? Has anyone adopted these stray cats? The little girl also often thinks, who is this person who adopts stray cats? Whether it's a boy or a girl, a big brother or an uncle, a big sister or an aunt, maybe even a kind and amiable grandfather.
On this day, both parents went to work, and the little girl did not practice the piano, but waited on the balcony.
On this day, a large number of stray cats still passed by downstairs of her house.
A man in black was walking among a group of cats. The girl's eyes widened in surprise. She had never seen this man before. Men also walk on all fours, and girls have never seen such a thing. She opened her mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say.
The man saw the little girl, she smiled at the little girl, and then, surrounded by those cats, the man got into the hole in the wall and disappeared with all the cats. She couldn't see the situation behind the fence, she wondered curiously, who is this man, and what is behind the fence
Curiosity is the most interesting thing that God bestows on human beings. Everyone has something in childhood, but as they grow older, some people discard this ability, while others keep it. If the little girl's parents see it, they may feel that this person is mentally ill.
For several days, the little girl could see this scene.
It's as if there are secrets hidden behind the walls.
That day, the man stopped and said to her, "Come together."
The little girl didn't speak, but dreamed all night. What is behind the fence, the little girl really wants to know.
At night, the little girl saw a lot of shadows projected on the curtains of her house, and the sounds of howling ghosts and wolves came out again, including women's screams, crying sounds, and occasionally ordinary cat meowing , The little girl remembered that among the pieces she played, it was called the Sorrow Concerto.
The neighbors seem to be used to this kind of life. Some people once tried to drive away these stray cats, but no matter how they drove them away, it was useless. Perhaps this is the territory of cats, not humans. It went on like this for half a month, and everyone got used to it.
After much of the night, the sound finally stopped.
The next day, the little girl was surprised to find that her mother didn't wake her up early in the morning to play the piano. At noon, the little girl's mother did not come back. The little girl was hungry, but she still climbed to the balcony. She waited and waited, but those stray cats didn't show up today.
What happened
It was getting dark slowly, and my parents hadn't come back yet, so the little girl opened the door.
She stood at the dark hole, squatted down and looked inside, but saw nothing.
After thinking about it, the little girl decided to go in.
The story ends abruptly, and there is no further text.
After reading this story, everyone felt as if they had eaten flies, which made people feel unspeakably uncomfortable and depressed. The difference between this article and the previous one is that this article uses the third person to describe the scene of a little girl seeing a group of stray cats from the perspective of a bystander.
"The question is, who died?" Team leader Shao sat in front of the table and said slowly.
Everyone was silent, and Team Leader Li said, "The question is, where exactly is the place described in the story?"
The two looked at each other, but neither said anything, one kept rubbing his teacup, and the other kept smoking.
The two of us didn't know what to say, so we all looked at the table quietly and didn't speak.
After thinking about it for a while, I think it's better for me to speak: "Don't ask, whoever didn't appear in the story means that whoever died. From the beginning of the story, we learned that a female boss disappeared. This People can die. Then, we learned that the little girl's parents were off work but didn't come home, so maybe the little girl's parents died from that aspect."
Everyone looked at me.
I continued: "Except for the little girl and the cat-like man in black clothes, one is the protagonist of the story, and the other, I am afraid, is the murderer. And if it is really as we guessed, the murderer wrote the story first Then if you kill people according to the story, then the little girl may be in danger."
Team Leader Shao patted the table, and said, "Since a female boss is missing, there will be an unattended shop left behind. Search the entire city of Dongxing City, and you must find this shop."
Team leader Li said while smoking a cigarette: "If this is the case, the workload will be too much. How do we know..."
"Check!" Team leader Shao said to Mary: "If it's a formal business, you can find it out."
Sister Mary nodded, and began to investigate the stores registered with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau through the internal network. Half an hour later, the rising numbers stopped.
Sister Mary said while counting: "One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand, two thousand three hundred and twenty-one, no matter how big or small..."
Team leader Li shook his head: "One hundred thousand... Even if we go out to search, it will take a few days. Besides, we have to assign the addresses one by one. In the last case, the story appeared and the character died. The interval is only one day, my mother, where can I find it?"
I interrupted Team Leader Li and said, "You don't need to look for them one by one. The story mentions their residences, which are old buildings. As a rapidly developing metropolis, Dongxing City is almost full of people. In the new town, the only old town is in the west of the city, and buildings with open balconies seem to be rare!"
Team leader Shao said to Mary: "There's no need to search, call Chengxi immediately and ask them to find a building with an open balcony. The height of the building should not exceed seven floors. Hurry up and find it."
"Then what are we doing?" Xiao Liu said.
Everyone looked at Xiao Liu, but no one spoke to him.
I said: "Analyze, what does this story want to tell us. People, how will they die?"
