Chapter 12 Blood Eyes (II)

 After Jack found that his bloodshot eyeballs had disappeared, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

 He retracted his hand and recalled carefully.

 It seemed that when he approached here just now, the mangy dog ​​that had rubbed his pants with dirt was near Fiona's body and howled.

 Is there any connection between them?

 Crash!

 At this moment, the bathroom window on the second floor was opened, and a resident living on the second floor poked his head out.

 Usually, because this alley is smelly, the windows downstairs near this side are basically closed tightly. If no one heard a strange sound, no one would open it to see.

 After the man in the window saw Fiona lying on the ground, he saw Jack who just looked up at him. The guy shivered with fear, immediately retracted his head, and closed the window door.

 In his mind, he might have witnessed a late-night murder of a drunk woman in a bar that shocked Yungu City.

 Jack was startled, but fortunately he held the arc knife in his hand completely and didn't show it. Otherwise, if someone saw him holding the "murder weapon", he would be hard to explain.

 After thinking about it, he quickly stood up and left the alley.

 Standing at the entrance of the alley, he looked around. Although the street lights were on and the sight was good, he didn't see the mangy dog ​​that just ran out.

There was no choice but to quickly return to the community and return to his room on the fourth floor.

 He turned on all the lights in the room and didn't move anything. He just changed his dirty pants and threw them into the washing machine, then sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for the police to arrive.

 Five minutes later, the first batch of police officers who came were not Ted. They came because they received a call from the residents downstairs reporting the case.

When Ted finally arrived with seven or eight people, the first batch of police officers asked the reason, transferred the case, and left immediately.

 Among the people Ted brought were the female police officer and two colleagues who were with him during the day, as well as the forensic doctor and the staff of the morgue.

 Everyone started to get busy. Some people checked the scene, and others went to block the alley downstairs. Jack described the incident to Ted and the female police officer in detail, but he concealed the fact that he was carrying a circular knife when he went downstairs to check.

 Now that the incident has happened, and everything is so weird, Jack doesn't believe that he can deceive these experienced people from the homicide team of the Sheriff's Department by making up a lie.

As for the broken door edge and the bathroom window, because they were damaged during the fight, and according to Jack's description, Fiona's body was very strong, so they did not suspect Jack.

Ted asked, "Jack, you are not injured, are you?"

 Jack shook his head, "Fortunately, Fiona only bit my collar, but it didn't touch my skin."

"That's good." Ted said, "We will have other colleagues take over the case later. They may ask you some questions. Please cooperate then."

 Jack nodded in astonishment and asked, "Can I know what caused Fiona's death?"

 Ted and the female police officer looked at each other and replied, "According to the conclusion of the forensic doctor, the main cause of Fiona's death was a blunt blow to the back of the head."

 "In other words, is it confirmed to be homicide?!" Jack nodded secretly.

The concave part of Fiona's head that he saw just now should be the fatal injury caused by the blunt weapon.

 The two police officers did not answer, but obviously acquiesced to his statement.

 Jack thought to himself, since Fiona was killed by someone, why did the blood pupil appear? And it can control Fiona's body?

 What happened to the appearance of this blood pupil?

 These questions are really strange and seem to be unexplainable at present.

 Ted and the female police officer did not explain much about why Fiona's body moved and returned here. They just said that someone would take over the case and asked Jack to cooperate.

 About an hour later, Ted and the other police officers left one after another, and Fiona's body in the alley downstairs was taken away again, and the building returned to peace.

 But Jack couldn't understand why they didn't seal off the scene, that is, they didn't seal off their own home.

 After thinking for a long time, maybe it was because this case was special to some extent!

 This is good, otherwise I have to go out and stay in a small hotel for two days, which is very inconvenient because I have to spend money and can't use the workbench or carve sculptures.

 As for the other group of police officers who will come to check here soon, Jack suspects that they may be people who are responsible for handling this type of case.

 Perhaps from these people, we can learn some secrets about the blood pupil and even the fake Alen.

 Even though he had guessed that all this might be related to the ghosts in this world, this guess needed to be confirmed.

 Of course, Jack couldn't reveal to anyone that he could detect the secrets of these ghosts.

 He looked up at the window, and it was already light.

 Although no one lived next door to this rental house, there was an old woman living upstairs. Because they were one family five hundred years ago, Jack would chat with her enthusiastically when they met.

 At this moment, the old woman was lying on the stair railing and looking over here.

 "Old woman."

 After sending the police officer away, Jack did not close the living room door. He forced a smile and called the old woman.

 The old woman immediately showed concern on her face. She walked over and looked around the house, then asked, "Jack, are you okay? What happened last night? They said someone fell from the upstairs."

 "A female thief accidentally fell into the alley behind the building while stealing things from my house. She has been sent to the hospital by the police officer."

 Jack told a white lie on the spot. If he said that Fiona, who died on the third floor during the day, ran back last night, I'm afraid the old woman would pretend to die on the spot.

 Anyway, it was dark at the time, and even if someone saw Fiona fall, they couldn't see her appearance clearly.

 Besides, Fiona wore a floral dress during the day, and the woman who came back at night had been changed into a uniform of the morgue, with her hair loose, and her style completely changed.

 "Ah, there was a thief! Are you not injured?" The old woman was shocked, "No wonder so many police officers came just now."

 "It's okay." Jack shook his head.

 The old woman said, "I'm going to the morning market to buy some fresh vegetables and breakfast. What do you want to eat? I'll buy it together."

 "No, thank you, old woman!" Jack stretched lazily, "I was woken up late at night and now I want to catch up on some sleep."

 The old woman nodded, "It's good that you're okay. Then you have a good rest. I'll cook noodles for lunch. If you want to eat, just come upstairs."

 After saying that, she turned and went downstairs.

 Jack closed the door and returned to the bedroom. He found that the bedroom door had been damaged and could not be closed tightly.

 He simply put away the sculptures and tools on the workbench, and his left hand unconsciously pinched the Buddha statue he made before going to bed last night.

 Glancing at Alen's half-body sculpture, after fighting with Fiona's corpse, Jack experienced a decline in his mental antibody level. At this moment, Jack wanted to replenish his antibody level by staring at Alen's sculpture.

 But the shadow of the blood pupil appeared in his mind from time to time, and it kept lingering.

 Subconsciously glancing at the Alen sculpture not far away, Jack, with bloodshot eyes all over his head, began to rummage through the neatly stacked wood next to the workbench.
