他一直盯著那瑟縮牆角的小女孩。400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL5hCZYibj

看著她因嚴寒而打顫，看著她為取暖而不斷劃下火柴，看著她對著火光傻傻發笑，看著她的微笑僵住，看著她一動也不動。400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuH2jT4QSb

他潛步走近，確認她停止呼吸後，俐落地將那小小的遺體放入大布袋裡，匆匆前往諾克斯醫生的辦公室。400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfDCSz5TZY
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1xJqm35fJ
諾克斯醫生見到他帶來的貨色，不禁眉頭一皺。400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUU3x6Z8U6
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTxaQrpzcF
他慌忙補上一句謊話：「這是我的親人。你肯定不會惹上麻煩。」400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqg08mF2eJ
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoZ40lv6XV
諾克斯醫生還是認為這貨不值一個好價錢：「如果你真的那麼缺錢，可以帶走她的財物賣掉。」400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PwZQD2b0P
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2GDymrx2E
他沒奈何，但只得接受。400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZruuwLlt9
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLVnwaM2pT
他小心翼翼地翻動小女孩的遺體。除了因著諾克斯醫生的要求（切勿毀壞遺體），亦因著對她的歉意。400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtVH97GzsL

無人生來就是壞傢伙。若非一貧如洗，他決不幹此缺德非法勾當！400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibDqm09dF8

領取報酬後，他帶著小女孩的遺物離開辦公室。400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r7sdkZVLe
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDTh6Xsh5M
肅殺街景和溫暖的辦公室形成強烈對比，他一下子接受不來、反應不了，愣在原地倍感悲悽。400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5qCAFRRrD

走進貧民窟，拐入曲折的小路，十分鐘後才抵達家門前。400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGMPNfy3gk

門開。發現病入膏肓的兒子迷迷糊糊地伏在枱邊喊凍喊餓。400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKXH25aB76
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4NuujC9BM
他上前一把擁兒子入懷，多麼希望剛才含笑離世的不是小女孩，而是懷中親兒。400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVmTlC5OQc
