I'm A Detective In The Beauty World

Chapter 549: Barbaris

My name is Barbaris and I am a TV salesman from Wisconsin.

I have a beautiful wife who loves each other and a lovely little daughter.

Although our family of three is not very wealthy, we have a very happy life.

In addition, I am still a devout believer… an extremely devout believer…

Barbaris looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Xiaolou, and his lips trembled slightly. It has been more than a year, and it has been more than a year since he left home.

After a while, Barbaris mustered up the courage, stepped forward slowly, and rang the doorbell.

“Who?”

The door opened, and a woman with a disheveled hair appeared very haggard.

“Hi, Amy.”

Barbaris tried to pull out a grudging smile.

The woman opened her eyes wide, and after a while, she suddenly let out a scream, rushed forward, and slapped Barbaris severely.

Barbaris touched his cheek, slapped, to be honest.

Half an hour later, after washing and changing his clothes, Barbaris walked downstairs. In the restaurant, his wife is preparing food, while her favorite little daughter is sitting at the table, watching herself carefully and vigilantly.

“Hi, baby.”

Barbaris beckoned to her daughter, and her daughter lowered her head in a panic, not daring to look at him again.

A six-year-old girl, when she needed her parents’ love most, her father suddenly changed her temperament and ran away from home.

This left an indelible shadow in the girl’s heart.

Barbaris also knew that he had done something wrong. He stood at the door of the restaurant somewhat helplessly, trying to get close to his daughter, but he didn’t dare.

“Are you hungry? Come and sit down.”

It was the wife who broke the embarrassment.

Barbaris sat down a little cautiously, where he was sitting at the table. Wife Amy put the plate full of food in front of Barbaris. Barbaris was tired and hungry, without using knives and forks, he started to gorge himself.

Amy looked at Barbaris in surprise, Barbaris also felt something was wrong, and quickly wiped his mouth with a napkin: “Sorry, I haven’t eaten your cooking for too long.”

“Nothing, I was just a little surprised.”

“What’s the accident?”

Amy sighed, sat down beside Barbaris, and said softly: “You used to pray before eating.”

Barbaris snorted and scorned as he ate: “Don’t worry, my dear, I will never do this kind of time-wasting work in the future.”

“Oh my God, Barbaris, you have really changed so much.” Amy said in surprise. “Remember when you ran away from home, you had to say that you sensed signs and heard the whispers of heaven, but now…”

Barbaris stretched out his hand to hold his wife’s hand, and said in a deep voice: “Could you not mention this? Honey, I just want to resume my usual life now, be with you, and never be separated again.”

Amy pursed her lips and nodded heavily.

After missing for more than a year, Barbaris must have lost his original job, but fortunately he has previous work experience and started to resubmit his resume online.

After losing family income, his wife worked as a cashier in the largest supermarket in the town, and she had to take her children to school, which was very hard. But before finding a job, Barbaris assumed the role of a “housewife”.

Although trivial, Barbaris felt very happy.

Everything seems to be back on track.

Except for her daughter, she still didn’t want to talk to herself.

A week passed in this way, and that night Amy came home from the night shift and told Barbaris a strange thing, which caught Barbaris’s attention.

“Raw meat?”

Barbaris frowned.

Amy bowed her head to eat and nodded: “Yes, Apu is our neighbor, should you remember? Not only him, but his whole family are staunch vegetarians. But tonight, he bought I bought a large pack of raw beef.”

Barbaris put down the clean plate in his hand, walked to the window, and looked at the house diagonally opposite. The whole three-story building was pitch black, and there was nothing to see.

“Other than that? Is his behavior different from before?”

Barbaris picked up another plate and brushed it slowly.

“Huh?” Amy hesitation, then suddenly smiled and shook her head, “It’s nothing, it should be me.”

Barbaris turned around and said in a deep voice, “What did you see?”

“It’s nothing, just for a moment, Apu’s eyes turned black.” Amy smiled, “but I should have read it wrong, because when I look closely, his eyes have no problem. .”

“Dangling…”

The plate in Barbaris’s hand slipped into the pool.

Amy was taken aback, and hurried over, looked at the dumb Barbaris, and said softly: “Are you okay? Put it down, let me do it. Honey, I said it many times, don’t give it to yourself Too much pressure, if you can come back, my daughter and I will be very satisfied.”

Looking at his smiling wife, Barbaris felt his throat bitter. He took a deep breath, glanced out of the window again, picked up the plate, and whispered: “We don’t have much contact with the Apu’s family, right?”

Amy pursed his lips: “No, his family is weird, not close to anyone in the town. But the people are pretty good. Before, when I was busy, he helped me pick up my daughter.”

Barbaris suddenly grabbed Amy’s arm and gritted his teeth, “Remember, starting today, they must never be allowed to approach their daughter anymore, can you hear me clearly?”

Amy was frightened.

Barbaris took a deep breath and let go: “Sorry, I’ve been a bit too nervous lately. You can go upstairs to coax your daughter to sleep, just leave it to me here.”

Amy nodded hesitantly, and tiptoed up and kissed Barbaris on the cheek: “Then hurry up, I’ll wait for you.”

Watching his wife upstairs, Barbaris turned his head and looked out the window. This time, although the small building diagonally opposite was still shrouded in darkness, Barbaris could feel that there was a pair of eyes in the darkness, staring at him bitterly.

“Damn it, why can’t you let me go? Why can’t you let me return to a normal life? Why bother to pester me?”

Barbaris’s fists clenched hard. After a while, he took out a large bag of salt from the cupboard, poured it into the kettle and melted it with clean water, then brought the kettle to the living room.

From the closet in the living room, take out a string of silver cross pendants and a Bible. Barbaris put the cross in the kettle, opened the Bible, and read it in a low voice.

Ten minutes later, Barbaris closed the Bible, took the cross out of the kettle, and carved a small cross on the door lock handle of the living room.

“My dear, my daughter is asleep, are you coming?”

Roar shouted softly from his wife upstairs.

“Now, baby, give me some time, I want to make sure nothing can break in.”

Barbaris replied and walked to the other doors and windows with the cross.

midnight.

Barbaris suddenly opened his eyes. The wife beside him was still asleep. The bedroom was quiet in the middle of the night, but he felt a little abnormal.

He sat up slowly and looked to the side window. I saw the curtains that were originally closed, but I didn’t know when they were half open. And on the window glass, there was a huge amounts of palm handprint impressed.
