Chapter 48 Heartstrings(1/2)
It seems that not only communications have been disrupted, but also power transmission in some areas has encountered problems.
When Arnold walked into the public toilet, it was dark all around, with only an emergency light inside. Arnold shook his head, secretly said something bad, then quickly put his backpack on the wash basin and started to wash it.
Take out clean clothes and change into them.
He was about to take off his shirt, but as if he thought of something, he just turned up less than half of his clothes and immediately put them down again. Then Arnold looked around carefully.
Finally, he seemed to see a dark shadow in the mirror... standing behind him!
Arnold was startled and turned around quickly. He suddenly felt a sense of horror behind him. He didn't know when, or even quietly, he was already standing here.
He could tell that this was a woman...but the woman seemed to have her head lowered, her long wet hair spread out in front of her face, and her body was completely soaked.
It was like a person being rescued on the shore after drowning. Through the gap in his hair, Arnold could vaguely see a pair of eyes full of hatred.
A moment of fright made Arnold retreat and hit the wash basin. His hands subconsciously held the wash basin to steady his body. At this moment, the embarrassed woman's arm suddenly moved in front of him!
It’s the kind of knife used in Western cuisine to cut steaks!
The Western knife was directly pressed against Arnold's throat. The hard touch gave Arnold a chill. He didn't dare to move for a while, for fear that if the other party went further, he would stab the Western knife into his throat.
.Then the only thing waiting for him is death.
"Don't be impulsive!" Arnold shouted nervously!
"Where!" the other party screamed and raised his head at the same time.
The weak emergency light in the public toilet fell on her face, which was green and looked like an evil spirit. Arnold took a breath and said in horror: "What, what is where?"
"Where!!"
The woman screamed again, rushed forward, pressed the western knife out of Arnold's throat, and stabbed it directly into it.
But this blunt thing only pressed Arnold's skin and made his skin sink into the muscles. It didn't actually puncture but it was enough to scare a person!
"What... I don't know what you said..." Arnold took a deep breath, trying not to irritate the opponent, "Miss, you... did you recognize the wrong person?"
"You... this murderer! Robber!!" The woman was even more excited, as if she was crazy: "You killed Livia and took away my money!! You heinous scum!!!"
"Li...Livia?" Arnold looked startled, and then quickly said: "Which woman are you who escaped this morning!"
The Western knife pushed in hard again, and Arnold could feel that the next time the woman exerted force again, even a non-sharp object could pierce his throat.
"You asked knowingly! You scum!! I will kill you!!"
"Relax! Relax! Listen to me! Listen to me! I'm not who you say you are!!" Arnold grabbed the woman's arm in an instant.
As a man, he was much stronger than the woman in front of him. The two of them got entangled right here, and then threw themselves on the ground at the same time. But the woman went crazy, and Arnold couldn't hold the other down.
"Scum!!"
"No!! Listen to me!! I really am not the person you said!" Arnold said hurriedly: "I am Arnold! Which scumbag you are talking about is Hailey! My brother! My twin brother!
He has the same face as me, and then he does all kinds of bad things! Please believe me!"
"Scum!!! You lied to me!!"
"I have evidence!! I have evidence!!" Arnold said with difficulty: "I really have evidence to prove it!"
Arnold finally restrained the woman. He directly pressed the woman's hands on the ground with both hands, and then pressed his body on the other woman's body, making the woman unable to move. Then he said excitedly: ""
"Listen! You can't resist now! As long as I shout a few words, I can find someone, and then ask them to help me call the police over and arrest you! You see, I didn't do this at all, I even tried to
Calm down! What is this for?"
The woman was still struggling and screaming!
"If you want to prove your innocence, if you also want to find the scumbag you talk about, just relax!"
"You think I will believe you scum!!"
"But you have to believe it now, don't you?" Arnold gasped: "At least you still have a little hope! But Miss, if you continue to go crazy, then I will have to call someone! In fact, I am completely
There is no need to explain this to you here! You see, I have restrained you now and can call for someone to arrest you at any time. Then when you get to the police station, you may not be able to explain anything! Because inside, you may not be able to arrest you at all.
To a fair trial! Right? Think about it! Calm down and think about it carefully. If I were the murderer, would it be necessary for me to tell you this here?"
The strength of women's resistance seems to be less.
Arnold said quickly: "Think about it, if I am who you are talking about, why didn't the police take me away? Because I was not at home last night! The police will only believe it if they find enough proof.
Me, isn’t it?”
The woman's reaction weakened a bit.
Seeing that his words seemed to be effective, Arnold relaxed a little: "Miss, please believe me, okay? I can prove what I said, and maybe I can help you a little bit."
The woman suddenly stopped moving.
Arnold breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little again. But at this moment, his daughter suddenly hit Arnold's eyes with her forehead. Arnold let out a pain, and the woman opened her mouth and bit down on Arnold's palm.
She got a chance to resist, and suddenly broke away from Arnold's suppression, then quickly picked up the Western knife that fell on the ground, and stood up quickly.
Arnold also quickly got up. The two of them were less than half a meter apart, and they were locked in a stalemate with each other. Arnold grabbed the place where he was bitten... This woman was really cruel, and she bit her directly.
of his skin.
At this time, someone walked into the public toilet.
When the woman saw this, she threw the western knife at Arnold with hatred, and at the same time knocked away the man who came in, and rushed out of the door.
"Hey! What the hell is going on? Bro, are you here having a wild game with your girlfriend?"
Arnold gave a wry smile, grabbed a Western knife from the ground, mumbled a few words, lowered his head, ignored the man, and left quickly.
…
…
Along the way, Arnold kept looking back and looking around, looking wary.
He did not get on the bus, and the bus system seemed to have stopped a lot at this time. He walked quickly and walked for more than two hours before walking across the road into the nearest slum.
Arnold seemed to be very familiar with this place. Finally, he came to a simple house.
He took out the key, looked around again, then opened the door and walked inside. It seemed that the place had stopped due to the strange storm in the afternoon.
But not long after, there was light in the room, probably a candle or something like that was lit.
Arnold found something in the house and then returned to the living room. He had lit candles on the dining table before, so he directly pulled out a chair and sat at the dining table.
Arnold breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly said: "Miss, are you there?"
He called into the darkness, but received no response. Arnold continued: "Miss, I didn't lock the door. You should be able to come in, right? I know where you are hiding... Come on, this is me
I want you to see the evidence that proves that I am not the scum you say I am."
As he said that, Arnold looked around nervously, finally put the album of things he found on the dining table, and then opened it.
Arnold said slowly at this time: "I have an older brother, his name is Hailey, and he has been a naughty person since childhood..."
He pointed at a photo in the album: "This is him, and the person next to him is me."
This is an old photo. The photo should have been taken in an elementary school. In it, a pair of twin boys are looking at the camera at the same time and smiling.
Arnold opened the photo album page by page and slowly talked about his past, "...This was taken when I was in high school, after a football match. Haley wanted to be a football player since he was a child. It's just that he wanted to be a football player since he was a child.
He was so trouble-making that he once got into a fight with someone and injured his knee. He originally had the opportunity to join a good local football club, but he was given up because of his injury... This is our graduation photo from high school.
.Miss...are you there?"
There was still no response in the darkness.
Arnold said to himself: "Hailey and I are like the front and back of a coin. He is what people call a bastard and trash. And I...and I have always been recognized by people. I rely on my own efforts,
I got a scholarship, walked all the way out of this place, and got a lot of funding at the university... This was taken during the opening ceremony of my university. It was taken by my father... Miss, are you here?"
There was still no response in the darkness.
Arnold sighed, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and closed the album directly.
He rubbed his forehead and held it up, but an abnormal sound appeared at this moment.
Arnold opened his eyes suddenly. In the flickering candlelight, the woman who attacked him in the public toilet suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the table.
She opened the photo album and flipped through the pages quickly, silently.
"Miss...you are really here." Arnold called softly.
The woman frowned at this time, looked up at Arnold, and suddenly asked: "Were you really not at home last night?"
"I was reviewing at school last night. I can find the person who will be my witness. I did come back in the morning!" Arnold said quickly.
The woman frowned again: "You also have a twin brother, why did Livia never mention it to me? Haven't you told her? As her boyfriend, you kept it secret from her?"
Arnold waved his hands quickly and said: "Miss! First, I don't know the Livia you are talking about, and second, she is even more impossible to be my girlfriend!"
"You!" The woman stood up in excitement, but she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said: "White Hell."
"What?" Arnold was stunned and looked at the woman in confusion: "What hell? Miss, I know you should feel very bad now, but... at least it's not hell, right?"
But the woman sat down and stared at Arnold without blinking: "Do you rarely go home?"
Arnold said: "It's also been in the past two months. I've been busy with studies, experiments at school, and internships, so I haven't come back often."
To be continued...
