Pollution Control Office?
Bai Zhu turned his gaze away and clenched the ball of paper in his hand to wipe his mouth.
"I asked people to investigate Xu Nian's neighbors and relatives and asked them if they had heard Xu Nian's family talk about moving. They all said no. Xu Nian's family moved away suddenly."
Ning Zhi said: "It would be fine if it was from another family, but Xu Nian's wife is a warm-hearted person and likes to chat with others. Didn't she give the Yunjian team members her own fire before? She was quite cheerful after Xu Nian's death. , still warm to his neighbors, how could such a person move away without saying a word?
"I didn't pay attention to this matter before. After all, too many hunters die every day in the club. If I had been worrying about this and that every day, I would probably have been killed by my holy mother long ago - but Lao An made such a fuss before his death. I really doubt prevention and cure all problems.”
"Why," Feng Jinyun frowned, "Is it possible that they are really doing something to the family members? But why bother?"
"I don't know. It's possible that Xu Nian's family was contaminated and they took confidentiality measures to prevent panic."
Ning Zhi straightened up and returned to normal volume: "I have family information in my hand, and I have asked people to check it one by one. It's just that the quantity is too large and it will take time. Let's wait for two weeks."
Feng Jinyun nodded, "That's all we can do."
Bai Zhu was thoughtful, slid off the high stool, and threw the waste paper in his hand into the trash can.
When they came back, Feng Jinyun and Fatty Liu had already stood up and left.
"Did they go to comfort the families of the team members?"
"Yes, but those are things that children don't have to worry about," Ning Zhi stepped out of the counter and took Bai Shu's hand, "Let's go and see the new home."
·
The new home is in a back street.
Although it is adjacent to the red light district, it is completely different.
Baizhu let Ning Zhi hold his hand and watched a few old bicycles pass by.
Dirty parks, old schools, crowded residential buildings, and the occasional shouts from vendors on the streets. The iron sign at the entrance to the wet market has become rusty. When you pass by, you can smell a faint smell of green vegetables and fish, which are not pleasant to mix together.
"Wang Tiedan, come home for breakfast, you don't want to go to school?!" the mother in the small building yelled, and the children playing on the grid downstairs picked up the huffing puppy and reluctantly left.
"Before the red moon, children loved playing with mobile phones, but now mobile phones are a luxury for ordinary people, not to mention the cost of Internet access."
Ning Zhi stepped on the square grid drawn by the children, deliberately avoiding the lines, "It's a return to innocence."
Bai Shu looked relaxed and jumped over the grid according to Ning Zhi's steps. He couldn't help but smile: "It's fun."
This is something you won’t see in the later stages of the red moon.
During that period, materials were in short supply, residential buildings were turned into dormitories, and food was uniformly distributed. Alarms always sounded in the city during the day, and people gradually went out less. At night, the city turned off lights and put a curfew, and mankind sank into a dead black.
"Good morning, Boss Ning, hey, who is this?"
Passers-by who were shopping together said hello to Ning Zhi, and when they saw Bai Shu beside her, they couldn't help but be curious and admired.
"This kid is so handsome. Is he a relative of Boss Ning? He also has rare blue eyes!"
"I just bought the apple this morning. Come on, kid, try it."
"What a coincidence. I happen to have a bouquet of blue cornflowers here that just bloomed today. I give them to you, little friend. Its flower language is 'happiness and light'. I wish you happiness in the future."
Pedestrians pass by, leaving behind fragrance.
Bai Zhu held a large bouquet of blue cornflowers. The branches were too high and bloomed just right, making it difficult for her to see the way ahead.
Ning Zhi didn't help. He smiled and bought breakfast from a street stall, and gently held Baizhu's sleeve as he walked to his residence.
Bai Zhu carefully hugged the flower branch and tried his best to protect the petals. He stumbled through the door and went upstairs with Ning Zhi. After a few seconds, he felt a light touch on his hand and regained his vision like a heavy release.
"It seems that 'happiness' is too heavy and will affect moving forward."
Ning Zhi helped her hold the flowers and said teasingly.
Bai Zhu looked at the handful of blue cornflowers. The sun was refracting in from the corridor window, making them warm. She smiled with her eyes bent, her pupils as bright as the blue sky behind the dense leaves outside the window:
"But it's beautiful and smells good. It should last a long time."
It's a pity that the fragrance didn't last long.
The fragrance of cornflower was overwhelmingly destroyed the moment Baizhu opened the eggs to fill the cake. Ning Zhi specially added three eggs and two hams for her. Now her nose could only smell the aroma of oil and eggs and ham.
Fuck the flowers.
Baizhu filled the pancakes with eggs and concluded ruthlessly and worldly: Breakfast is the happiest and most practical thing!
"Your room is here, the third one on the third floor." Ning Zhi opened the door, "Come in and take a look."
Bai Zhu chewed the hot eggs and looked around with satisfaction, "It's great."
The interior is very simple, with basic equipment such as beds, desks, wardrobes, lamps, slippers, and even a separate bathroom, which is spacious and comfortable enough for a child.
Well, it would be perfect if there wasn't a row of milk on the desk.
"The room next door to the right is mine, the room next door is A-Yun's, the one on the far right is Fatty's, and the one on the left is Weiwei's. The balconies are open to both, but they can be locked from the inside and are large enough."
Ning Zhi said as she opened the curtains and pushed open the glass door leading to the balcony. The window was sealed outside the balcony and the ground extended to the left.
"You and Weiwei are connected, but she has already gone out at this point."
Going out?
Bai Zhu glanced at the watch hanging on the wall. The hour hand just pointed to eight, "Are you going to school?"
"Of course not, how can you be so active in school?" Ning Zhi said helplessly, "It would be nice if you don't stay in bed."
"That……"
"It's the morning exercise of the dance class. Weiwei likes to dance very much and is very talented...I don't know how to describe this. You will know after you watch it once."
Ning Zhi handed the room key to Baizhu, "Weiwei is a bit introverted, but when I mentioned you last night, she looked forward to it and prepared a gift for you. You can chat with her when she comes home in the evening. I think you will like it. her.
"I put pocket money for you in the desk drawer. You can spend it as you like. You can go to any place on this street. But you were frightened and tired from traveling before. It's better to take a rest. I'll go shopping with you tomorrow. place."
"Okay, thank you Sister Ning."
The door is closed.
Bai Shu walked to the balcony, waved to Ning Zhi who turned around, and watched her leave.
"It's rare to have leisure time."
There was a swing rocking chair on the balcony. Bai Shu stretched his back and lay down on it, looking at the red light district just a few feet away.
The height advantage of the third floor allowed her to see the terrain clearly, and also allowed Baizhu to understand the division of the territory more clearly.
The red light district is concentrated on a street full of neon lights, divided by neon intersections. To the east is a gray area with order led by Dis Bar, and to the west is what Ning Zhi calls a chaotic territory, pure black illegal zone.
But the west block is much longer than the east block.
If the east block is the head of a centipede where you can see the rodents, the west block is the body of a centipede, which contains venom that is dirtier and thicker than the head. The sharp poisonous legs are constantly extending and densely packed.
Under the suppression of the bright sun, this place is as deserted as a ragged and uncared corpse on the roadside. But in the red moonlit night, the neon lights that gradually light up are like the greedy and glowing eyes of a poisonous snake staring at the world. Every time you breathe, you can smell the lavishness, violence and blood in the air, and the sticky fragrance of peach.
Baizhu narrowed his eyes slightly and fixed his gaze on the neon street entrance.
She saw the eye-catching fluorescent yellow.
It was a coat that belonged to a man in Dis's bar who had evil intentions for her.
The next second, Bai Shu stood up, locked the door and went downstairs.
