Chapter 5. The Little Killer.

Chapter 5. The Little Killer.

— Wait a minute… What? And how do we find the killer? What nonsense..." I muttered to myself.

And as if hearing my muttering, the maniac called us again. And from the phone we heard it:

— I'm giving you a hint, it's someone from your relatives, whose and who, think for yourself, and I'll just tell you more - it's a woman. Still, I wonder who exactly you will begin to suspect, ha-ha-ha. he laughed and hung up.

Sarli began to part his head nervously, as if afraid of something. I decided to ask what exactly he was afraid of. But he hurriedly moved outside and started talking to someone on the phone. I decided to follow him, but Nid stopped me and told me not to follow him because he was talking to his sister.

— With your sister?! I cried out in surprise. It was very unexpected to find out that Sarli turns out to have a sister.

— Don't you shout. Sarli doesn't want anyone to know that he has a sister. Only you and I know about this right now, so please keep it a secret. – Nid closed my mouth when I wanted to answer him.

And then Sarli came back and leaning against the wall, began to think about something. What, he hasn't said yet. The house was silent. Only the clock was ticking and the knocking sounds that Nid made on the wooden table could be heard. The atmosphere was frightening, everyone stood and trembled with fear. Although before that they calmly shot themselves and prepared for the fact that one of us would be the enemy, but now everyone was afraid, because it is unknown who and when will appear among the house. As we have already understood, the signs of the killer's regime appear much earlier than the deadline, and that was the problem.

Sarli was boring me with his gaze, either from my body, or just wanted to call me that way. Nevertheless, I decided to go up to him and talk, and besides, I also wanted to find out why he called my sister.

I walked slowly up to him and asked him in a whisper:

— Well, why are you staring at me, Sarli? Am I arousing something?

At the moment I was talking, I was coming closer to him, which made him shy and began to move away, and after that he took his head and said:

— God, what are you thinking pervert… It would be better for you to think about how we can find the killer now than to think about all sorts of perversions.

— Come on, I decided to make a joke. So why were you staring at me?

— I decided to call you with my eyes, as you can see, I succeeded. In general, here's the thing. I think you already know from Neil that I have a sister. Well… She can be said to be a little scientist. She managed to uncover some information about a crime that happened forty years ago. She promised to tell us more when we come to her.

— Listen, don't you think this is a trap for us? Mind you, your sister is still a woman. Maybe she wants to kill us under the pretext that she wants to share information?

— What are you saying? Although… I don't know myself… But it's still worth a try. If you are afraid, then we can put on protective clothing so that in case of a threat it will not harm us.

— Okay, come on. Are we going to take anyone else with us? Or just the two of us will go – Again starting to pester, I said.

— Let's do it together, and let the others stay at home and let them also put on protective clothing so that in case of a threat they will remain alive.

We informed our classmates that we were moving out somewhere and also asked them to put on their protective clothing, which they hurriedly began to do, everyone ran to a different place to find a place to change clothes, the silence in the house abruptly changed to the noise of trampling.

When we went outside, we found that it was already beginning to get dark. It was quite a long way to get to Sarli's sister's house. About ten hours by train. We boarded the train and settled down to watch the sunset. I remember a story from my childhood when I went camping with my parents, grandparents and we lay on the grass in the evening and watched the sun go down. Eh... those were wonderful times. But now only my grandparents are left alive from my family.. My parents disappeared in an unknown direction. As my grandfather told me, this is all temporary and they will come back. But unfortunately, this never happened.

— Do you want me to tell you more about my sister? Sarli spoke to me when I was already falling asleep, admiring the sunset.

— Come on. Only… You just interrupted my dream... you'll have to!

— Oh, don't just sit there. How long have you been so cocky?

— I'm not being cocky, I'm just kidding. Come on, tell me about your sister, I'll just fall asleep.

— Since birth, my sister had a talent for remembering what others did. Therefore, her parents taught her everything, took her to artists, investigators, scientists. In general, they showed her all sorts of professions, that's why she can be called a little genius. Of course, I'm a little jealous that my sister gets more attention than me, well, what can I do about it. I don't have such talents. At the age of fourteen, she has already been able to unravel several crimes, which is why I am pinning hope on her now.

I didn't hear any further words from Sarli. He kept saying something, but by that time I had already fallen asleep. And I woke up already when we arrived at the right station. The house was very close to the station, about three kilometers somewhere. Sarli rang the intercom and the door was opened to us by a small, white-haired, blue-eyed girl in a cute white dress. Such a little girl wanted to stroke her long hair shining in the sun.

Sarli, seeing my intentions in advance, tried to stop me, but with his hand he did not quite hit the place he wanted. He hit my chest.

— And I see you're having fun here. – said sister Sarli

— N-nothing we're not having fun here! I didn't mean to! – he began to justify himself to Sarli's sister.

— Well, nothing. Come on in the house, I need to show you something and tell you.

We went into the house, which was filled with a bunch of books. There was a pile of papers on the floor, and wallpaper with butterflies and stars was pasted on the walls. There was a laptop on the table and something was already written on it.

Sarli's sister stopped by the laptop and said:

— Don't look at the laptop yet, listen to me. Your case is directly related to the tragedy forty years ago, right?

— Well, it turns out so.

— As it became known to me, that case was in front of witnesses who were familiar with your grandfather – Akishito. These witnesses were: My mom – Mika. Also Kara. Well, accordingly, your grandmother is Nila. Perhaps one of them knows how a killer can do such things? In the meantime... it's time to shoot you.

After all, she turned out to be the killer this time. She took a gun out of a drawer and fired at the ceiling.

— Hey, what are you doing? What happened to you in a moment, what kind of reckless things are you doing?

"I... I don't know! Help me, little brother! Read what I wrote on my laptop!

We decided to read what was written there:

If I start behaving inappropriately, then take the following measures:

1. Tie me up, take away the gun and cover my mouth with tape.

2. Inject a sedative into my shoulder so that I can't escape

3. If I somehow get out after that, shoot at me and read the second document on the desktop.

— S-sister… Still, you were able to predict something like that… But in any case, I hope that the first two points will work.

We did what was said in those two paragraphs and she seemed to calm down and fell asleep.

Suddenly, as if a card had fallen from the table. Picking it up, Sarli read:

"Type – Moon

Title: Memorization.

Ability: Memorizing everything that other people do for a period of 10 years

The cardholder is Misato"

What kind of card it was, we still have to find out in the future, and what if such a card is somehow connected with a maniac who terrorizes us…
