On the way back, Meng Zhe laughed at Song Jiang and said, "Are you worrying about it for nothing? I think that Xu Xiaomao is very capable of taking care of himself, and he is naturally a loner. Even if no one takes care of him, he can do it alone." Live well..."
Song Jiang shook his head after hearing this and said, "I know very well what it's like to have no relatives around you. Besides, although Xu Che is withdrawn, it doesn't mean that he doesn't need anyone to care about him."
Facts have proved that Song Jiang was right. Although Xu Che did not show any happiness or displeasure at Song Jiang and Meng Zhe's adoption, when he was introduced to Ah Fu by Lao Xu, the corners of his mouth still raised slightly and he said, " nice to meet you……"
Even though Ah Fu was the youngest one in front of Song Jiang and the others, when he saw Xu Che, he immediately pretended to be the boss. Sometimes he would help him get the bedding, and sometimes he would stuff snacks into his hands. After learning that his parents had just passed away, he even He said very thoughtfully, "You don't have to be afraid...I will protect you from now on."
Although Xu Che didn't have much experience as a human being, he could tell that whether it was Song Jiang, Meng Zhe, Lao Xu, or Ah Fu, none of them were ordinary people. Thinking of this, he asked straightforwardly, "A Fu , you are not human, right?"
Ah Fu, who was drinking a drink, coughed when he heard that he was choked. After finally regaining his breath, he said helplessly to Xu Che, "Boy, although you look a few years older than me, you really don't have much heart." , I heard Lao Xu said that you were a cat in your previous life?"
Xu Che nodded after hearing this, and Ah Fu sighed when he saw it, "No wonder... from now on, you can follow me to learn how to be a human being after school! I tell you that there is a lot of knowledge in being a human being, otherwise I will wait for you in the future. There will be disadvantages for you when you grow up! First of all, you have to learn what to say to whomever you meet, like Song Jiang and Meng Zhe. You can tell who is easy to talk to and who is not easy to mess with by looking at their faces. If you get into trouble in the future , you must go to Song Jiang, he is soft-hearted and will definitely help you find out. But if you are bullied by someone, go to Meng Zhe. He is very good at fighting. He can fight ten people! No, he can fight a hundred people. indivual!"
So that night, one of the two children dared to teach and the other dared to learn. Even Lao Xu couldn't help but sigh after taking a look at it from afar, "Don't say it, these two children get along pretty well..."
Early the next morning, Song Jiang and Meng Zhe took Xu Che to the police station. His parents died under mysterious circumstances. Although there was no sign of homicide on the surface, and the old couple had some physical foundations. disease, so the autopsy results also fall within the scope of natural death. But the problem is that Shao Jun and the others found some fingerprints and footprints in Xu Che's home that did not belong to the family of three, which is more suspicious...
Because of the "lesson" he learned last time, Shao Jun tried his best to act amiable this time, and saw him smiling and said, "Kid, do you usually have guests at home?"
Xu Che, who had been taught by Ah Fu all night how to "be a human being", forced out a smile seriously and said, "No, since my dad got sick, relatives at home have never come to the door, so except for us, we Outside of the three, no outsiders have ever come here, except... Brother Song Jiang and Brother Meng Zhe, they have been here once before."
Song Jiang and Meng Zhe were suddenly startled when they suddenly heard little boy Xu Che call themselves that. They thought that this boy had eaten something unclean for breakfast, so why did he suddenly speak "normally"? And it's normal to be a little scary.
Shao Jun looked at Song Jiang after hearing this. The latter quickly said, "That's what happened, but it was a few weeks ago. Our fingerprints and footprints can remain in the room for such a long time." Time?"
Wu Lei on the side immediately shook his head after hearing this and said, "That definitely does not belong to you two. I have seen the scene. Although Xu Che's mother is not in good health, it can be seen that she is usually very diligent and keeps the rest of the house clean. …It’s impossible for an old lady to go without mopping the floor for such a long time.”
"That means that when Xu Che went out to buy groceries, it was very possible that someone came to the house..." Song Jiang said thoughtfully,
At this moment, Meng Zhe suddenly remembered what he heard yesterday while watching the excitement downstairs, so he said in a deep voice, "I heard that several elderly people died in that unit in a short period of time... Is this normal?!"
Upon hearing this, Shao Jun quickly asked, "What do you mean several old people died?"
Meng Zhe thought for a while and said, "The old lady on the first floor, Old Wu Tou on the third floor, and Xiao Wang's mother on the top floor..." After he finished speaking, he turned around and asked Xu Che, "I remember correctly, right? ?”
Xu Che thought about it seriously and said, "No..."
After hearing this, Song Jiang murmured, "If you add Father Xu and Mother Xu, then five elderly people have died in this unit in a short period of time... This is indeed a bit abnormal."
Who would have thought that at this moment, Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "It's not five, it should be six... Have you forgotten the security guard we met yesterday?"
Song Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, and that security guard. By the way, Xu Che, do you know if there are any old people in the security guard we met yesterday?"
"Yes... Uncle Wu's father, Grandpa Wu, but I haven't seen him for a while." Xu Che thought for a while and said.
Xu Che's words immediately aroused the alarm of Song Jiang and others. If Mr. Wu is no longer here, then a total of six old people have died in this unit. It would be too far-fetched to say that it is a coincidence...
At this time, Wu Lei picked up the phone and said, "If you want to know if it is true, it is easy. I will call the household registration department now. As long as a death certificate has been issued and the household registration has been canceled, they should have records there."
After finishing the call, Wu Lei said, "My colleagues in the household registration department said that many elderly people did die in that community during this period. As for Xu Che and his family, there are only five records in their building."
When Song Jiang heard this, he looked at Meng Zhe and said, "Could we be overthinking?"
Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "No...unless he deals with corpses all day long, there is no way he would have such a strong smell of rotting corpses. Besides, he is obviously dressed like a security guard, and he is definitely not a staff member of a funeral home."
Song Jiang couldn't explain why for a while, so he unconsciously lowered his head and looked at Shao Jun's desk. There happened to be a stack of personal information with two-inch photos on it. As a result, he saw yesterday's photo on it at a glance. The security guard named Wu whom I met at night! !
An update today...
