Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

"I think I just... I really saw it, a long-haired woman standing outside the window..."

"Really, Sonoko? If you keep joking, I'll get angry."

A loud "bang!"

The room instantly went dark. Sonoko calmly reassured Ran, "It's okay, it's just a power outage."

"Bang! Bang!"

Several claps of thunder echoed in the air. Sonoko squinted, switching into battle mode, because just now...

She witnessed a woman in red drifting leisurely past in front of her.

Ms. Xiao Xiang was alone in her room, lost in thought, her hands clasped together. The light from the lightning shone into the photo frame beside her.

The photo frame contains a picture of Xiao Xiang and Cong Zi together.

Suddenly, she also saw a swarm of figures quickly pass by outside the glass in front of her.

She got out of bed and asked tentatively, "Xiaofeng? Dazhuang?! Why is there a power outage?"

Xiao Xiang mustered her courage and, with a creak, slowly pushed open the window, sticking her head out and getting soaked by the dense rain.

Her voice trembled slightly: "Who is it? Whoever it is, aren't we told not to just leave our rooms?"

"You need to contact me—"

"what!!!"

"Where is Xiaoxiang's room?!" Shiliang asked hurriedly.

"It's over there!" Yamato strode towards it, saying, "Just follow me!"

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and prayed silently: Sonoko, if I had known we would go through something like this, I wouldn't have brought you along.

Please make sure nothing unexpected happens.

Lin Xiaofeng turned on the flashlight and shone it inside, where he saw Xiao Xiang lying on the floor in pain.

His entire back was covered with a long, deep wound, as if it had been slashed by a scythe.

Seeing this, Yamato quickly stepped forward to check on her and hugged her, asking, "What's wrong? Are you alright?"

Sera Sosuke leaned forward in his seat, picked up a flashlight, and shone it around the window.

"Who did it?"

"It's...it's the woman in red," Xiao Xiang replied weakly.

Yamato frowned: "You mean the woman in red? How could such a thing happen? I've already made it clear to you that she's confirmed dead and can't possibly reappear."

"But...but..." Xiao Xiang opened one eye halfway, panting heavily, "After the power went out, it seemed like someone was knocking on my window."

"As soon as I opened the window, ... a long-haired woman suddenly appeared, holding a sharp kitchen knife, and without saying a word, she slashed at me."

Her eyes widened, and she breathed rapidly through her nostrils: "I wanted to turn around and run away, but then... "

"Are you really sure that person is the woman in red?" Sera asked.

"Did you get a good look at what the other person looked like?"

"I didn't see it! It was too dark, I could only see a general outline, but... the person had very long hair and was holding a kitchen knife."

"That...that's the woman in red, isn't it?"

"Xiao...Xiao Xiang!" Da Zhuang and Feng Zi also rushed over.

"What happened?"

Yamato remained calm: "I need to bandage her wound first. You all come and help her to the living room."

She deliberately instructed, "Also, until the power is restored, everyone should stay in the living room and not wander around."

"Because it's very dark now, it would be extremely dangerous to act alone."

Yamato took Koko back to the room. He carefully took off her clothes, unbuttoned her underwear, and applied ointment to her wounds.

"Although the cut was clean, the wound isn't deep. Xiaolan, could you please get me some disinfectant?"

"Okay." Ran smoothly handed it to Yamato.

Sonoko lit a few more candles and looked out the dark window: "Is the whole area really without power?"

· ······Requesting flowers· ····

"Yes, it seems like lightning struck the substation. It looks like it will take a while before there is power again."

Could it be that the other party took advantage of the accidental power outage to commit the crime? Or... was it all staged?

But assuming the self-directed and self-acted scene is true, how would one create a wound on their back?

Yamato's gentle umbrella reminds you: "It might sting a little, but if you just bear with it, it will pass."

She used tweezers to pick up a piece of disinfectant wipe and gently wiped Xiao Xiang's wound.

Da Zhuang asked with some skepticism, "You said the woman in red attacked you? Are you sure it's true?"

“Of course.” Xiao Xiang gritted her teeth and endured the excruciating pain: “This wound is proof.”

"But...isn't the woman in red already dead?"

Xiaofeng wondered, "Could it be that the umbilical cord used to compare her DNA was actually someone else's umbilical cord?!"

Yamato said confidently, "That's absolutely impossible, because the umbilical cord originated from the mother of the woman in red."

“He was unwilling to accept the death of his daughter, so he kept resisting handing over important items to the police.”

"We have also received confirmation of this from her relatives."

"If that's the case, then there are indeed some strange things."

Yamato gazed meaningfully into the distance, took a deep breath, pursed his thin lips, and his eyes were filled with memories.

... .. ...

"What do you mean by strange?"

"It's like being burgled. Starting more than ten years ago, every time this happens, we get calls from nearby rental villas."

“Cases of unauthorized entry, but not like what you just described, such as broken windows or things being thrown in, the kind of deliberate pranks.”

"Instead, there were signs that someone had broken the lock, sneaked in, and stayed there for a while."

"Peng! Peng! Peng!"

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the rain showed no sign of stopping; on the contrary, it poured down even harder.

"There have been occasional testimonies of seeing terrifying figures in the forest."

"Therefore, the Nagano Prefectural Police cannot say for sure whether the skeleton that sank into the swamp is the woman in red herself."

"Then...so," Ran slowly raised her hand, "the figure Sonoko saw through the window just now was...?"

"Xiao Lan, it's okay, I'm here."

Sonoko held her hands, trying to calm her down.

"When did you see it? And where did you see it?" Sera hurriedly asked.

Sonoko calmly said, "It was before the power went out that I saw someone coming from under the shade of a tree through that window."

She stared blankly out the window, lowering her voice: "Tilting her head, staring wide-eyed at the long-haired woman over here."

"Peng!!!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

Xiao Lan nestled in the garden's embrace.

Accompanied by a flash of lightning and a deafening roar, the candles inside the house went out in an instant, leaving the entire house chilly.

"It must be her!!"

"That must be the woman who attacked me!!"

"Could it be... that it really exists?" Da Zhuang's resolve began to waver, and he shrank back.

"The legendary evil spirit in red... We have to escape quickly! Otherwise, otherwise..." The image of the fat man's death flashed rapidly through Ms. Feng's mind. Cold sweat beaded on her face: "We'll end up like Mr. Fatty, all killed by the woman in red!!"

"Shhh!!"

With a crisp click of the match, Lin Xiaofeng relit the candle.

He calmly reassured everyone, "No, there's no such thing as a woman in red, whether she's an evil spirit or a monster."

"Witches or magicians, those kinds of things only exist in the fantasy world."

Sonoko added, "So everyone can rest assured, even if there are bad people, they are still living, breathing human beings."

"

Yamato cleared his throat and repeatedly emphasized to everyone, "No matter what, I've already sent a car to pick us up. Until then, everyone stay in the living room to ensure your safety."

The group gathered in the living room to await police support.

Fortunately, the woman in red did not reappear, and everyone escaped successfully. However, the shadow of the woman in red still loomed over them.

691. Cheers to a blissful married life!

After getting off work, Eri went back to her apartment. She had some things to take with her, and on a whim, she invited Lin Xiaofeng over for dinner.

Of course, I couldn't cook dinner myself; I ordered takeout.

After receiving the call, Lin Xiaofeng came running over. He didn't need to worry about neglecting one thing for another; he had plenty of time in the world of science, enough time to take care of each of his wives.

"Why did you suddenly call me to your apartment?"

"I just want to be alone with Xiaofeng-jun for a while, is that not allowed?"

"of course can."

"Then let's eat!" Eri Kisaki smiled happily, and after taking her seat, she poured herself and Lin Xiaofeng a glass of red wine.

"Come on, let's toast to our harmonious married life!" Lin Xiaofeng raised his glass in celebration.

"That's right, cheers to a happy married life."

After the two clinked glasses, Eri Kisaki finished her red wine in one gulp and then refilled it for herself.

"Hiccup~~~"

Eri Kisaki let out a burp, her magnificent chest swayed slightly, and her face flushed red, like a ripe apple, incredibly tempting. "623"

"Sister Yingli, have you had too much to drink?" Lin Xiaofeng asked softly as he finished his glass of red wine in one gulp.

From the start of the meal, Eri Kisaki drank quite a bit of red wine; the red wine she bought from the supermarket was almost all gone.

Although the wine was bought from a supermarket, Lin Xiaofeng thought it tasted alright.

Anyway, he rarely drinks red wine and can't tell the difference between high-end and ordinary red wine.

Eri Kisaki isn't a frequent drinker, so there's not much difference between high-end and ordinary red wine for her.

It's only for things like this that she'll drink a little alcohol.

However, she has a pretty good alcohol tolerance.

She is, after all, one of Tokyo's top lawyers, the undefeated queen of the legal profession.

He naturally attends banquets frequently, so his alcohol tolerance is quite good.

But after drinking too much, he would still have a cold, pale face, and his whole face (cheeks) would turn red and shiny, as if he were glowing.

I wonder what a person's behavior will be like when they've had too much to drink?

Some people's personalities change completely after drinking too much.

"No, not at all," Eri Kisaki said. She wasn't drunk, just a little tipsy. "I just get flushed easily, that's how I look after drinking. But it's nothing serious, I'll be fine after a rest."

Some people flush easily when they drink alcohol, while others don't flush no matter how much they drink.

Lin Xiaofeng is the latter; no matter how much he drinks, his face won't turn red, but he will get drunk unless he sends all the alcohol into an unknown space.

As for Eri Kisaki, it was the former; it did show some color on her face, but it wasn't too serious.

"That's good." Lin Xiaofeng nodded, picked up the dumplings and beef, put them in his mouth together, and then ate rice with the soup. It was a big mouthful.

It was so satisfying, and it was also very delicious.
