"And then you do this?"
"What?" This was the second time Li Dongliao asked.
"After I tell the adults what happened, will they help me take revenge?" Xiao Qi asked.
"Uh..." Li Dongliao half-opened his mouth, and after a while he said: "They will probably be given a verbal warning not to do that again."
"So I say, adults are all naive." Xiao Qi pushed away Li Dongliao's body and put his hand on the door handle, "If it were me, I would believe in tit-for-tat. Goodbye Mr. Police .”
After Xiaoqi finished speaking, he opened the door and left the toilet, disappearing from Li Dongliao's sight.
Xiao He stood at the door holding a book and waited for a long time before seeing the dejected Li Dongliao.
"What happened, Officer Li?" Xiao He asked.
I saw Li Dongliao waving his hands and saying dejectedly: "I was just called naive by a child... Forget it, let's go back..."
At night, since the police station had identified the biggest suspect as Wang Mei, no more victims were found in the surrounding area.
Before Wang Mei is found, other matters cannot be rushed and cannot be advanced.
Wanted photos have been sent out on a large scale, unless Wang Mei stays in the mountains her whole life.
Otherwise, as long as Wang Mei goes to a crowded place, she will be recognized immediately.
Now that the wanted order has been issued, we can't rush to find the person. We can only wait for the news slowly.
"Xiao He, let's get off work first." Li Dongliao packed up his things and prepared to leave.
Before withdrawing, I received a call from Tan Wan, as usual, asking about what happened today and the progress of the matter.
Li Dongliao told Tan Wan about his meeting with the new dean today. Later, he also mentioned the strange child.
"By the way, I happened to meet the kid you talked about on the phone today~"
"Which child?" Tan Wan took the big Dandong strawberry from Butler Yang and asked while chewing it in his mouth.
"That's Xiao Qi, the kid who was transferred from the Red Heart Orphanage."
Tanwan was stunned when he heard the word Xiaoqi.
Then he asked: "How is he? In a special situation like his, is there anyone taking care of him?"
After Tanwan learned that Xiaoqi had dwarfism, he subconsciously classified him as a disabled person.
Coupled with Xie Mowen's series of reactions after he knocked down Xiaoqi at the Red Heart Orphanage that day, Tan Wan felt that Xiaoqi's mental state was not very good.
Xiao Qi, who suffers from dwarfism and mental illness, was previously taken care of by Wang Mei. Now that Wang Mei is gone, it is not known whether he can adapt to the new environment alone.
"I don't think he needs anyone to take care of him." Li Dongliao held the phone between his head and shoulders and passed a barbecue stall. "Boss, I want five skewers of mutton and five skewers of grilled chicken hearts, plus a tinfoil-roasted enoki mushroom. It's very spicy. Thank you! "
The sound of grilling barbecue came from the cell phone that day, and there was a noise in Tan Wan's ears: "Who are you talking to??"
"Let's have a barbecue. I don't have time for lunch. I'm so hungry now." Li Dongliao dealt with both ends.
"What did you say about Xiaoqi before? I didn't hear clearly." Tan Wan lay on the sofa and changed his posture and asked again.
"Oh, I saw him being bullied by two children today, and I originally wanted to help him.
As a result, guess what they said to me? "
"What?" Tan Wan was also quite curious.
“Calling me naive,” Li Dongliao recounted based on his memories, “He also said that if it were him, he would believe in tit-for-tat.
I didn't expect that after living for so many years, I would still have to be scolded and educated by a child. It was really embarrassing. "
Tan Wan felt vaguely strange, Xiao Qi didn't seem like someone who would say such a thing.
In order to explore the reason, Tanwan asked him to repeat it again: "Tell me what the original words you two said at that time."
Li Dongliao was confused and asked: "What are you doing, do you want to take this opportunity to mock me again?"
"Seriously, say it again."
Tan Wan's tone was very stern, not allowing him to have any fun at all.
Li Dongliao was shocked by her tone and described the situation carefully and carefully.
He recalled it very carefully, starting from when he went to the toilet to urinate urgently, and continuing to the end.
In order to make Tan Wan's voice more immersive, he also added a lot of onomatopoeia.
After finishing speaking, his mouth went dry, and he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped: "That's it."
He held the skewers in one hand and his mobile phone in the other, quietly waiting for the other party's response.
On the other end of the phone, Tan Wan did not speak after listening, but sat there in silence.
Li Dongliao didn't dare to disturb him when he saw this, so he just waited quietly.
The wind blew in front of him, bringing with it a smell of barbecue. Li Dongliao couldn't smell it and felt extremely itchy.
After a long while, Tan Wan finally spoke slowly: "I need your help with something."
"What?" Li Dongliao felt uneasy.
Generally speaking, when the word 'help' is used late in a conversation, it is usually not a good thing.
"Before I find Wang Mei, I can't let Xiao Qi stay in that place without supervision."
At this point, Tan Wan paused: "I need to let him stay at your house."
"Then...how can that one work!" Li Dongliao was stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly, and then he was shocked.
He originally thought that Tanwan would ask him to help investigate Wang Mei's whereabouts, but he was actually asked to help take care of the children.
"What, is this difficult?" Tan Wan Bingbing's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What's going on with me living with that child? You want me to adopt him?" Li Dongliao was confused.
"It's not adoption, but I want to ensure that you can stay with him 24 hours a day."
"Boss, can I ask the reason?" Li Dongliao was helpless, "At least let me know the reason."
The voice of Tanwan continued to come from the other end of the phone: "Because Li Jue will definitely not let him live in the manor."
Hearing this, Li Dongliao was stunned for more than five seconds.
He kept thinking about the connection. What does Li Jue's refusal to let the child have to do with living in his house?
"Does this have anything to do with it, boss?"
At this moment, the roasted mutton skewers in Li Dongliao's hand, which were still oily, were now wrinkled by the wind.
"It's about a murder case." Tanwan said without revealing much, "This is an order."
After hanging up the phone, Li Dongliao felt that his spirit had been baptized from top to bottom.
After standing in the cold wind for more than ten minutes and struggling in his heart for a long time, Li Dongliao made up his mind.
He turned on his phone again and dialed Xiao He's phone number: "Hey Xiao He, go find the director of the orphanage just now and tell him that I want to adopt a child named Xiao Qi."
