Chapter 139 Which Comes First, Kindness or Killing Intent?
As the rain poured down, the wind chime at the door of the bookstore rang, and a girl in her early twenties hurriedly opened the door and walked in with a trace of embarrassment.

The clerk in the bookstore looked up at her, and found that the girl's bangs were all wet, sticking to her forehead, and asked sympathetically, "Come in to shelter from the rain?"

"Yeah, it's raining too much." Facing the well-meaning clerk, the girl smiled. She looks very sweet, and when she smiles, her two lovely dimples are even more endearing.

The clerk didn't say anything anymore, watching the girl put away the black folding umbrella and put it by the door of the bookstore together with the umbrellas of other customers, and tidied up the wet sweater.

Today is November [-]rd, the autumn is getting stronger, the air is damp and cold, the girl was already dressed a little thinly, and at this moment she shivered from the cold.

Fortunately, the warm air was turned on in the bookstore, otherwise he would have caught a cold.

Seeing that the torrential rain would not stop for a while, the girl sighed softly, found a seat, ordered a cup of milk tea, and picked up a detective novel to read.

The black hair that fell down her shoulders was soft and docile, making her look very well-behaved and very eye-catching.

In the corner, a man wearing a thick jacket, black mask and peaked cap of the same color raised his eyes to stare at her, his eyes were cold and excited.

The girl's phone on the table vibrated.

She glanced at the caller ID, swiped open the lock screen and answered it.

"What's the matter, Jiang Pan?"

On the other side of the phone, a man's voice came into her ears with a little helplessness.

"Xinyi, is it raining heavily over there? My plane was delayed, and it was said that the flight to Fuhua City could not take off due to the heavy rain."

Han Xinyi touched her wet clothes, smiled, and said in a low voice: "It's raining heavily, and the wind is also strong. I originally wanted to go to the shopping mall near my home to buy something, but when I got there, half of my clothes were wet, and I couldn't even open an umbrella." Can't save me."

"Then, what about you now?" Jiang Pan seemed a little concerned.

Han Xinyi's eyes fell blankly on the book in front of her. On the opened page of this detective novel, it was written:

"The girl hid under the bed in horror. The bedroom door was pushed open and a pair of cheap rain boots stepped in. From her perspective, all she could see was the intruder's knees and the tip of a rusty knife."

She suppressed the inexplicable coolness behind her, and took a sip of sweet milk tea: "Now... I found a bookstore on the way to shelter from the rain, and I will leave when the rain calms down. When will your plane take off?"

"Oh, don't worry, I won't miss the reunion of old classmates tomorrow. It's just that my plan to have fun in Fuhua Market for two days has been ruined." People feel relaxed.

The two chatted for a while, Han Xinyi restrained her voice, trying not to disturb other people's reading, just chatting, she always felt that someone was watching her.

With a trace of suspicion, she looked around, and saw that everyone was looking down at the books, and there were a few children who looked like junior high school students who were doing their homework together.

Everything is normal.

She frowned, secretly thinking that it might be because she was reading a detective novel with some horror colors, she had the illusion.

She pursed her lips, and the brief silence was noticed by Jiang Pan on the other end of the phone. Jiang Pan asked, "What's wrong, Xinyi, am I right?...Do you like sweet tofu?"

"No, I can accept both sweet and salty." Han Xinyi couldn't laugh or cry, she didn't intend to get into a dispute between the sweet party and the salty party. She was just about to continue the chat when Jiang Pan suddenly remembered something.

"Xinyi, I heard that a murderer appeared in Fuhua City recently?"

Han Xinyi was taken aback by the sudden change of topic: "Ah... yes."

"I heard that that perverted killer likes to commit crimes in rainy days. You have to be careful and don't go to places where there are few people."

Hearing Jiang Pan's concern, Han Xinyi smiled sweetly, even though the person on the other end of the phone couldn't see it: "Actually... that person killed young men, maybe he hated men with certain characteristics. It's safe. Thank you for your concern."

After chatting for a few more words, the phone hung up.

Han Xinyi continued to read the book with her head down, and turned to the next page, where it was written——

"The intruder seemed to know she was here, but like a cat playing with a mouse, he wandered leisurely in the bedroom, as if he knew she was afraid to come out from under the bed. The soles of his shoes collided with the floor, making a dull sound, and he was waiting for her to gradually collapse, He wanted to admire her most terrified expression, and the realization made the girl cover her mouth and tears welled up in her eyes."

"At last he finished his inspection of the grounds like an inspector, and the wellies stopped beside the bed, and now the girl could only see a toe. Suddenly, the intruder squatted down, and his gloved hands entered. The girl's gaze, she just watched the intruder clenched the sharp knife, and scratched the floor like torture, making piercing noises."

"Her nose is enlarged, and her whole body is as stiff as a dead body. Unlike a dead body, there is only the sound of more and more rapid breathing. I am going to die, right? That knife will cut my skin like a floor. It must be very painful. It hurts... The girl closed her eyes in despair. Look, Dad, what you said before you died was not wrong at all. Some people are as humble as rats in the sewer in order to survive, and some people only need to step on a road As the thread of humanity, you can start to decide the life and death of others."

"Hmm..." I don't know if it's because of the novel, or because Jiang Pan mentioned the murderer of the serial murder case that caused panic recently, Han Xinyi felt the feeling of being watched again.

This time, she noticed a person wearing a black cap and mask in the corner.

The man was looking down at the book, but this strict attire that was almost fully armed caused Han Xinyi to feel uneasy.

"What am I thinking..." After staring at the man for a while, Han Xinyi realized that she was very rude and used her imagination to maliciously guess a stranger.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She said it twice silently in her heart, and she stopped thinking about it until the rain subsided a little, and then she planned to leave.

I have read a quarter of the novel, and Han Xinyi thought it was pretty good, so she glanced at the title and author of the book.

This is a mystery novel called "Rotten", and the author uses the pen name "Yuanxia".

"You can finish reading this book next time!" Han Xinyi packed up her things and walked to the door of the bookstore.

However, out of the corner of my eye, something black seemed to move.

She froze, realizing that the black peaked cap in the corner that she noticed before stood up with her.

The black peaked cap walked towards her, and seemed to want to leave too.

"It's a coincidence." She thought so, but her heart skipped a beat.

The brim of the other party's hat was pressed down so low that from a normal angle, his face could not be seen at all.

She pursed her lips. According to the normal situation, she had already picked up her umbrella, so she should definitely go. Afterwards, this person would follow her and leave the bookstore, into the rainy curtain where there was no one outside... No, although it is really hard to maliciously speculate on others. Not polite, but she was a little worried.

The location of this bookstore is a bit remote, and with the heavy rain, no pedestrians can be seen outside.

But if the other party is really a bad person, will she be noticed if she stops temporarily?Will it irritate people... Ahhh, it's all because of the recent serial killer, who made people panic in Fuhua City!

Perhaps seeing her standing still at the door, the clerk said gently, "Did you forget something? Look at the place where you were sitting just now. Does the ten yuan belong to you?"

ten bucks?
Han Xinyi's eyes lit up, and when she looked at the position just now, she really saw a banknote falling under the seat.

Whether she dropped it or not, she loves the ten dollars now!

Because she can take advantage of the turning back to get the money, and let the black peaked cap go out first!

Afterwards, if you observe that the other party is going that way, you can leave in the opposite direction. Going home or going to the mall is just a detour.

Han Xinyi waited for the black peaked cap to approach, and then said to the clerk, "Thank you, it should be mine, I'll go and have a look."

Then passed by the black peaked cap.

Back as she picked up the money, she sneaked a glance out of the corner of her eye.

The black peaked cap actually also stopped.

"No, no, I should just scare myself, right, he won't really..."

Maybe he was really scaring himself. The man in the black peaked cap stopped for a while for some reason, and then opened the door with an umbrella and left.

Han Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief.

She came to the counter at the door, watched the man leave to the right, and decided to go left and go home directly.

Before that...

She smiled at the female clerk who showed kindness to her twice in a row, and said sincerely, "Thank you so much!"

The female clerk tilted her head, as if to say: It's only ten yuan. As for thanking you so sincerely.

"you are welcome."

Han Xinyi waited for the man in the black peaked cap to leave by chatting: "It's already six o'clock, it's dinner time, are you still off work?"

"It's almost time to get off work." When the topic of getting off work was mentioned, the female clerk couldn't help showing a smile.

"Oh...bye, you are so kind, I will come again next time." Han Xinyi smiled sweetly, and walked out of the bookstore.

She held up an umbrella in the rain and walked on the sidewalk towards home.

Occasionally, a car would pass by on the road. At this time, a motorcycle rushed over a puddle of water at an extremely fast speed and splashed heavily on Han Xinyi's body.

"Ah!" Han Xinyi turned her head, only seeing the back of the motorcycle driving away.

"..." A bit unlucky.

But anyway, I have to take a shower and change clothes when I get home, so let’s forget it...

Wait, what is that?
She was depressed at first, when she suddenly saw a figure.

The moment she saw this figure, Han Xinyi felt a chill in her heart!
It's actually... It's the man wearing the black peaked cap.

He turned back and followed her all the way!
When... No, why did he follow her?She saw this person walking to the right with her own eyes at the time, and the excuse that she lived in one direction was not valid.

If it's a coincidence, it wouldn't make a person turn around and follow her, right?

The man in the black peaked cap stopped walking, apparently seeing that she had spotted him.

The man looked around.

Han Xinyi said badly to herself, apart from the motorcycle that splashed water on her just now, there was no other passing by on this road!
She took a deep breath, and just about to turn around and find a place with people, she saw the black peaked cap approaching her suddenly.

After getting close, the man's right hand hidden in the sleeve was exposed, and a shining fruit knife slid out and was held in the other party's hand!
