summer kill

Saturday, October 10.

Gao Hui and Zeng Lianxi made an appointment to investigate Beiji Theater today.

He didn't take the medicine in time last night, and the doctor didn't give Gao Hui an injection until midnight.

Waking up in the morning, Gao Hui looked at his body, and there were dense red particles everywhere.He put on a mask and hat, and took a pair of sunglasses to cover himself tightly.

When he went out, Gao Fengxi had already left.

Gao Hui walked slowly.

A child pointed at him and asked, "Big brother, are you a star?"

Live up to the child's imagination.Not only is he not a star, but he is covered in rashes.

Zeng Lianxi arrived early.

In the past, he often sat alone in a small room for a whole day.To breathe in the cramped space.

Now he has a feeling that he has nowhere to go in Nancheng.

With Gao Hui around, he seemed to have a place to go.For example, haunted houses, such as the upcoming Beiji Theater.

Make an appointment with Gao Hui to meet at the McDonald's at the intersection.

Gao Hui sent a WeChat message saying that he has arrived.

Zeng Lianxi didn't see anyone, he even turned around and glanced at the faces of passers-by one by one. "Where are you?"

Gao Hui: "At the entrance of McDonald's."

Zeng Lianxi turned around again.

Gao Hui is always shining, and Zeng Lianxi often follows that aura to find people.Now in the busy streets, he has lost his guidance.

Gao Hui sent another message: "Wait, there are two McDonald's here."

The street is relatively long, and the two intersections are both small and large shopping malls.When the two made an appointment, they only talked about the intersection, but they didn't expect to stand on the street and the end of the street.

There is no marker for Pak Kee Theater on the map.

Gao Hui chose a milk tea shop in the middle: "Wait here."

Zeng Lianxi walked quickly, he was relatively close to the milk tea shop.But when he got to the door, he looked up at the sky, but still saw no light.Until he was slapped on the back.

He turned back.

This man was fully covered from head to toe.There were people in short sleeves walking around, but he was wearing a thin autumn coat.

"Waiting for a long time?" Gao Hui slightly pulled down his sunglasses, revealing a pair of smiling eyes.

Zeng Lianxi saw that ray of light again, which belonged to Gao Hui alone, and was incomparably brilliant. "How is your illness?"

Gao Hui put back the sunglasses: "I'm afraid I'll scare you."

"Are you still suffering?"

"It doesn't itch anymore."

"If you are really uncomfortable, let's come back another day."

"No." Gao Hui's voice under the mask was somewhat chaotic, but firm, "I must catch that prankster."

Pak Kee Theater is an independent theater.The theater has three facades, the far left is the gate, and the two on the right are used to lay huge posters.

Zeng Lianxi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, looking directly at the card in the hero's hand.

Gao Hui put his hands in the pockets of his coat: "Go in."

There is no drama scheduled for today, so I opened the door and walked in, and I couldn't even see a receptionist, only the sound from the rehearsal room.

Gao Hui and Zeng Lianxi walked in the direction of the voice.

The rehearsal room is as big as a classroom, with mirrors erected on three sides, and some props and glove boxes piled up on the ground.Three men and two women are rehearsing intensively.

One of the men in the gray shirt turned his head: "Who are you?"

Gao Hui took out the card he received.

"Big brother." He covered his face, but his voice was kind. "It's like this. We have received such threatening letters in the past few days. The students in the class said that this card is from your theater. Let's come over and ask."

This time it wasn't just the gray shirt, the other four people who were rehearsing heard this and all came over.

Gray Shirt took the card and was very surprised: "This is the prop we will use after the murder in the play, right?"

"Yes." A woman in blue said, "This is it. But this is our prop, how did it end up in the hands of the students?"

The gray shirt twisted the paper: "The quality of the paper seems to be similar?" The card is made of coated paper, and there is no difference in the feel.

The woman in blue came over with her props.A comparison found that the paper quality is exactly the same.

Gray Shirt: "When did you receive this card?"

Gao Hui: "Last Friday morning."

Several people in the theater looked at each other.

Gray Shirt asked again: "Besides this card, are there any other clues?"

Both Gao Hui and Zeng Lianxi shook their heads.

Gray Shirt called the person in charge of the theater to come over.

That man was called Wang Beiji, and the theater was named after him.He was in his early thirties, wore a pair of rimless glasses, and had relatively long hair in a short braid.

After hearing Gao Hui's words, Wang Beiji thought for a while: "Is this Xiaodong responsible for printing?"

The woman in blue: "Yes. Xiaodong asked for leave, saying he had a fever and a cough."

Wang Beiji looked at the two teenagers: "You both received this card?"

The person who answered was Gao Hui: "Yes, the two of us."

Wang Beiji adjusted his glasses: "Are you still students? Why didn't you report it to the teacher?"

Gao Hui said with a smile: "We want to investigate the case and enjoy the fun of reasoning."

Wang Bei remembered it clearly: "It can be seen that the words here do not threaten you, and you have an interesting attitude."

Gao Hui: "Although there is no danger, but seeing such villainous behavior every day makes me feel uncomfortable."

Wang Beiji turned to the woman in blue: "You contact Xiaodong and ask him if he knows what's going on."

The woman in blue called, but no one answered. "Probably resting."

Wang Beiji nodded: "Okay, let's rehearse first. Time is tight, so we must confirm all the plots before the drama performance."

A few people cleaned up and quickly entered the rehearsal state.

Wang Beiji said: "You two can sit here and wait. Our rehearsals are all internally active, and no outside audience has come to comment. You two can take a look."

The name of the play is "Summer Killing", and it is about the case triggered by this card.

Today's rehearsal happened to be at the murder scene.

Gray Shirt picked up a few blood capsules from the item box: "Use these three at that time, this place, this place, and here. The effect is very realistic."

Gao Hui: "If we have this thing when the haunted house is scary, it will get twice the result with half the effort."

Zeng Lianxi: "Yes."

Gao Hui also took a blood capsule and played with it in his hand.He bowed his head and didn't speak for a long time, thinking about something.

When Zeng Lianxi watched the characters in the play spurt blood, he also seemed to be stuck in memory.

The one named "Xiaodong" never returned the call.Wang Beiji called again, but no one answered.

Gao Hui said, "We'll come back in the afternoon."

Wang Beiji was embarrassed: "It's better to leave a phone number. If there is any news, I will notify you."

Gao Hui: "OK."

Gao Hui and Zeng Lianxi walked out of the theater and looked back at the huge poster.The red seal on the card is more vivid under the sun.

Zeng Lianxi saw that Gao Hui was sweating, beads of sweat hanging on the edge of the mask.He quickly handed over the tissue.

Gao Hui wiped it casually. He was tightly dressed, and his skin was stuffy and hot.The rash started to itch again.Especially the part that was initiated yesterday, seemed to have countless ants crawling over it.

He really wanted to take off the mask and scratch it well, but there were people coming and going on the street.

He looked up to see a sign for a movie theater.That's right, the dark and dark environment is suitable for an ugly person like him.

"Go to the cinema." Gao Hui patted his cheek, "I'm so itchy."

There is no reason for Zeng Lianxi not to agree.

The National Day file turned out to be a world for children, and several of them were cartoons.

Gao Hui's purpose was not to watch a movie, so he picked the most recent one.

The two went in and sat in the last row.

Gao Hui took off his mask and slapped himself hard on the face.

In the darkness, Zeng Lianxi felt that Gao Hui was slapping himself. "Is there any medicine?"

"I used to take allergy medicine and it was fine. I don't know what happened this time. I went to the hospital, but it got worse." Gao Hui could only attribute the cause to the wrong medicine.

Zeng Lianxi took out a wet tissue.

Gao Hui tore open the package, and pressed the tissue to his swollen cheek.

Because it is a cartoon, the audience is mostly children.The audience was full of children's laughter.

The two people in the last row were out of tune with the noise below.

Using the light on the screen, Zeng Lianxi saw that Gao Hui's face was even more swollen than last night, covered with bumps of various sizes.

Gao Hui glanced over and covered his face with a tissue: "Don't stare, it's ugly."

"Not ugly."

"Okay, I know it myself. I went back last night and looked in the mirror. I almost didn't get scared. When I went out this morning, I didn't even dare to look at it." Gao Hui felt that today was better than last night because of the uncomfortable force of the corners of his mouth when he spoke. serious.

At this time, a family was late.

The kid rushing over jumped at the seat next to Gao Hui.When he looked up, he saw Gao Hui with half of his face swollen.The child had never seen the world, so he cried with a "wow": "Mom, there are monsters."

Gao Hui was hit hard.When he was not allergic, he was a handsome little brother after all.After a few rashes, he was pointed at and called a monster, which shows how outrageously ugly he is.

The child's parents came over to apologize, picked up the child and coaxed him.

Gao Hui looked at the crying child without saying a word.

Zeng Lianxi wanted to pull Gao Hui at this time.The move was thoughtless, and when he came back to his senses, his hands were in mid-air.

"Huh?" Gao Hui came over in a blink of an eye.

"You are a beautiful boy."

"Open your eyes and talk nonsense." Gao Hui looked at Zeng Lianxi's hand in the air.

Zeng Lianxi quickly took it back.

Gao Hui smiled.

Many people have said that he is a beautiful boy, and he inherited his father's excellent looks.Which one of those clattering love letters was not aimed at his face?

Praising him as a beautiful boy when his face is half swollen is the truth.
