Chapter 71 Layout
Three days later, Xiao Zhi went out wearing a long black suit and rode a motorcycle to Jimmy's father Edward Anson's house.
When watching the movie, Xiao Zhi could tell from the scene arrangement that Edward Ansen's family is quite rich. Now I have seen with my own eyes that even the appearance of a house is filled with the atmosphere of a capitalist...
Press the doorbell twice and the door panel creaked and opened.
It was a young blonde woman. She looked at Xiao Zhi in confusion: "You... are the little employee in the supermarket, what's wrong?"
The identity arrangement given by the paper is that Xiao Zhi grew up in the town. After his parents passed away, he worked in the supermarket for another six or seven years, and many people know him.
Xiao Zhi smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Everyone in this town can know Xiao Zhi, but the blonde woman in front of her cannot know!
Because her identity does not allow it!
In the plot, Jimmy didn't know the woman when she returned to her father's house after her wife died, which means that the woman had been here for a short time.
The whole town is just the size of a palm, and she is probably the unrestrained face from outside the town! But if you just speculate, the persuasion is a bit insufficient...
Xiao Zhi is a man who has watched the whole movie. He knows deeply that the blonde woman in front of him is a "perfect doll" made by Mary Xiao using real-life humans. The woman who was made into a doll must have died.
If she was a resident of a small town, she would have thought that after she was resurrected from the dead, she appeared as her little wife at an old man's house.
Will family and relatives be indifferent?
But in the movie, the blonde woman was always alone next to the old man Edward Anson. Apart from a name named Ella, there was no family-related information.
Under known circumstances, Xiao Zhi reconfirmed that Ella's current identity was Mary Xiao!
Facing the beautiful Ella, Xiao Zhi showed a sunny smile and said, "Hello, my name is Xiao Zhi, I'm here to find Jimmy. His wife passed away a few days ago. I want to see if he is feeling better... By the way, you?"
Ella smiled and said, "I am Edward Anson's new wife, well... Jimmy's stepmother. It's normal for you to not know me not long ago. But if you want to find Jimmy, he probably won't do it, because he had a fight with Edward two days ago and left..."
Ella's face, expression and movements were extremely smooth, and it was hard to imagine that she was a "perfect puppet" without life.
In Xiao Zhi's understanding, this so-called perfect puppet is nonsense. It is nothing more than Mary Xiao taking a human body and transforming it casually and then possessing it with his own soul, controlling his behavior like a real person.
Isn’t this his cat possessed by a ghost?
It's nothing new to attaching it to the corpse.
In the first zombie world, he had seen twin vengeful spirits possessed by zombies, and they were so flexible.
Xiao Zhi raised the fruit basket in his hand and said, "Okay, it's okay if Jimmy is not here. I'll take a look at Uncle Edward. I'm sorry that he has been feeling unwell for a long time. I haven't had time to visit him..."
When Ella saw that Xiao Zhi was about to see Edward, she frowned slightly, but she smiled on her face, "Okay, Edward is also boring alone in this empty house. It must be very happy to be with you, a young man."
If it were an ordinary person, it would be nothing, but Xiao Zhi could hear the meaning hidden in her words.
Mary Xiao is very murderous and wants to keep him for Edward Anson as his companion. In the whole drama, Edward Anson is a dead person from beginning to end, but it is not that easy for Mary Xiao to kill himself!
Walking into the hall, a decadent aura came towards me.
He knew that only houses that have not lived in for a long time will have this atmosphere.
At this time, Edward Anson's voice came from the upstairs: "Ela, who is below!"
Ella responded: "It's Jimmy's friend, he's here to see you!"
The two of them stepped onto the wooden ladder on the second floor, and the footsteps rang back and forth. Xiao Zhi knew that the conversation between Edward and Ella just now was just a small drama directed and acted by Mary Xiao, and he was really a drama master.
On the dim wooden ladder, an old woman's rotten face appeared on Ella's face in front of her. She turned her back to Xiao Zhi and let out a cold laugh: "Xiao Zhi, you are from the town. I heard that a poem about Mary Xiao's curse in the town, can you read it to me..."
Xiao Zhi laughed in his heart. He held the fruit basket in his right hand and his left hand seemed to be casually placed in his pocket, but actually held the pistol. An unhappy expression appeared on his face: "Sorry, Ms. Ella, I can't read this little poem."
Ella paused slightly, and her voice became even colder: "Oh, why?"
Xiao Zhi's face was filled with righteousness and said loudly: "Mary Xiao is my most respected expert in ventral puppets. I had the honor of seeing the photos taken by her puppets. They were very beautiful and realistic! In my distant Asian hometown town, the whole town is making puppets. The puppets are the cultural heritage of that place...
But what we are good at is the thread-carrying puppets, which are very different from the mechanical puppets like Mary Shaw with machinery in their bodies. I respect every craftsman, especially those who have been making puppets throughout their lives, and they are even more respectful. So what you said is a kind of insult!"
Xiao Zhi said these words and felt a little numb, but he knew that if he wanted to get closer to his goal, he had to disgust himself!
Snake hits seven inches.
As expected.
The illusory rotten face on Ella's face gradually disappeared, and she laughed: "It seems that you have different opinions from the people in the town, it's really surprising." As she said that, she accelerated her pace and walked up to the second floor.
When Xiao Zhi walked to the living room on the second floor, Ella was already standing behind an old man in a wrinkled suit. The old man was Edward Anson and Mary Xiao, who had been made into a doll, like acting, so let's act with her! Xiao Zhi nodded and placed the fruit basket on the table next to him: "Mr. Edward, are you in good health?"
Edward showed an impatient expression: "I have been sank in the chair for so long. You little devil now know how to visit me. Are you here to laugh at me? Take your fruit basket and leave quickly. I just want to be alone and quiet!"
Although this was Ella standing behind him to control Edward's movements and expressions, and speaking in ventral language, Xiao Zhi still waved his hand with a nervous expression: "You misunderstood Mr. Edward, please don't be angry, I'll leave now..."
His face was flushed red, as if a frightened little boy lifted the fruit basket and left the second floor in panic. Ella walked down quickly in high heels. She said with apologies: "I'm sorry, Edward has a good temper now. Maybe Jimmy had a little anger when he had a fight with him two days ago..."
Xiao Zhi said intimately, isn’t this what you scolded?
He said with some frustration: "It's okay, everyone knows Mr. Edward's temper. I even heard that his father had a worse temper and even brought people to do things that hurt Mary Shaw. Alas..."
