Now almost the whole town knows the news of Wang Shuncai's surrender, and of course, there are many people who are curious about why Officer Zhang drove him home.

No matter who it is, they all hope that the murderer will be arrested as soon as possible, otherwise, everyone will still be panicked.

According to the usual, at one or two o'clock in the morning, there are still people who go out from home to play mahjong or go home from the chess and card room, but now, when it gets dark, everyone closes the door and goes to bed early.

As a result, there are fewer people who come to the Ning family store to buy things at night.

Ning Zaifu was not worried, thinking that it would be good to go home and accompany his granddaughter to play Go or watch the news. In addition, Fu You is also there, and he can also play flying chess.

Late at night.

Ninga was woken up by an emerald green budgie parrot.

The Xuanfeng oranges in the large cage also jumped in the cage, and the movement was not small.

Ning Jiayi quickly turned on the light, lifted the cage cloth, and saw that the two tiger skins had all landed at the bottom of the cage, full of fur and chattering.

But the orange saw the light and settled down.

The pair of tiger skins and Xuan Feng were both sent by the sons of Ning Zaifu's friends, on Ning Jia's sixteenth birthday, and their home is a parrot farm.

At that time, the tiger skin and Xuanfeng had not yet been weaned, and they were able to grow to this day, with beautiful fur, lively and cute, all of which had to be taken care of by Ning Jiayi, and he did not dare to make any mistakes.

As far as feelings are concerned, the little ones are naturally close to Ning Jiayi. They eat and rest regularly on weekdays and never bark at night.

As soon as Ninga opened a window, it was pitch black for the neighbors left and right, and no matter how far he looked, there was no light.

"It's weird. ”

Ning Jia muttered quietly and reached out to turn off the light, but the next second he heard a knock on the door.

That moment.

To be honest, Ning Jia was scared.

Fu You noticed that Ning Jia had a green feather on his head, and glanced into the room by the way.

"Hey, when did you raise a parrot? It means that occasionally you hear a different bird call, it turns out to be a ......."

The parrots are placed on the back balcony during the day, and Ninga takes them to the room before going to bed, firstly, to avoid being frightened, and secondly, because the temperature is low at night, which is not suitable for continuing to spend the night outside.

Ning Jiayi didn't explain in detail, interrupted Fu You's words, and asked him directly: "Is there anything to find me?"

"I'm going to the market tomorrow, are you going?"

"No, I'm going to the commissary early in the morning, so you can go. Ning Jia saw Fu You stunned and didn't move, and continued: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"It's gone. ”

Ninga nodded: "Good night." ”

"Good night. ”

Fu You didn't have an exact concept of the bazaar, and as soon as he heard that the whole family was going to the market tomorrow, he naturally wanted to go over and have a look, and buy something for Grandpa Ning and Grandma Song by the way.

He himself didn't know why he invited Ning Jiayi.

Before dawn the next day, Fu You went out to discuss.

After an hour, Ning Jiayi also got up, and when she was ready to be early, she went to the commissary.

Because of the fog, the lights in the commissary are like indicators on the vast sea.

Ning Jiayi was still a little sleepy, yawning, tears were hazy, and when her eyes could see clearly, she noticed that someone was walking towards the back shelf.

"Whatever you need, I can find it for you. ”

"Oh, I'm going to dry the chili, which one is particularly spicy. ”

Ningjia heard the sound very familiar, found the bag of dried chili peppers and walked inside.

"Give you chili. ”

"Thank you. ”

Ning Jiayi raised his head and met Wang Cheng's eyes.

"You're ......"

"Oh, I accidentally fell and injured my hand, and I was terrified, right?"

Compared to previous experiences, blood rubbing on clothes is really nothing.

Ning Jiayi didn't answer, and returned to the back of the cash register.

"Do you need anything else?"

"No, that's all. Wang Cheng unbuttoned the black button of his coat and took out his wallet from the inner layer, "How much does this thing cost?"

"Eight pieces. Ning Jiayi took a brand new ten-yuan bill, "Find the change for you, you can put it away."

Wang Cheng's face was kind, and when he smiled, the whole person looked more and more gentle. I want to compare with the blood stains on my body, and I can't tell the sense of disobedience.

"I heard that your grandfather sprained his foot some time ago, this is the chicken blood I took from Ah Niu's family, and I will give a little to your family. ”

Wang Cheng was afraid that Ning Jiayi would not accept it, so he deliberately put it on the top of the shelf and hung it, "This chicken blood is good for hurting muscles and bones, and your girl's family eats it, and her body is good." ”

After Wang Cheng said this, he put the bag of dried chili peppers into the black plastic bag, turned around and left.

When Ning Jiayi finally hooked the bag of chicken blood and ran out, he could only see the mist and no human figure.

In addition to the door, the commissary has only a palm-sized window.

Where is a bag of coagulated chicken blood hanging.

Ning Jia felt uncomfortable just thinking about it, and she almost threw up several times.

So Ning Zaifu appeared, Ning Jiayi finally breathed a sigh of relief, didn't tell his grandfather the reason, covered his mouth and went home.

Song Mei went to the vegetable garden, and there was only Ning Jiayi at home.

She went to the bathroom with her front foot and threw up in the next second, and finally vomited until there was nothing left in her stomach.

Outside, bold sparrows jumped up and down the doorway, and some flew into the hall, stood on a wooden carving, chirped a few times, flapped their wings and flew out of the house.

Ning Jiayi drank a cup of hot tea, opened a new jar of parrot food and went upstairs, and the person had just walked to the door of the balcony, and the scene in front of her directly made her collapse.

The door of the small cage was open, and two tiger skins covered in blood were lying half a meter away, as for the oranges. Ninga searched the upstairs room and finally found it behind a stack of books under the bed.

However, the orange tail is gone!

Its wings are still bleeding!

Ning Jia's mind was very confused, she really wanted to know what was going on, so she hurriedly ran to the commissary to ask her grandfather if she heard any movement upstairs before going out, and then rushed to the vegetable garden to ask her grandmother if she knew anything.

However, before the two old men left home, the family was peaceful and there was nothing abnormal.

However, Ning Zaifu called to remind Ning Jiayi to check if there was anything lost at home.

The result: no.

Wait a minute!

Ning Jiayi rechecked her room, and she found that something was missing—the red rope was missing!

Ning Jiayi's mind became chaotic again.

At about half past one in the afternoon, Fu You came back from the gathering.

He was carrying a few crucian carp killed by the fishmonger in his left hand, and a bag of kiwi fruit and dragon fruit in his right hand.

Ning Zaifu saw Fu You and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered:

"It's estimated that we won't eat until late today, and if you're hungry, grandpa will cook noodles for you first. ”

Fu You played and ate all morning, and the food in his stomach had not been digested. He shook his head repeatedly, put down his things, and went upstairs without saying a word.

It's dark.

The chimney of the Ning family slowly emitted green smoke.

Fu You waited and waited, but he didn't see Ning Jiayi appear, and couldn't help but ask Ning Zaifu:

"Grandpa, isn't Gaichi at home?"

"Yes, she's upstairs, she doesn't want to eat. You keep eating, leave her alone. ”

Saying that, Fu You only felt more strange.

"Grandpa, what is this?"

"Chicken blood. ”

Fu You immediately withdrew his chopsticks and turned to the little cabbage on the side.

The three of them were eating without a word, and Zhang Kecheng came, but he felt that the atmosphere of their meal was wrong, and slowly put away the smile on his face.

Ning Zaifu was also worried in his heart, and when Fu You went upstairs, he whispered to Zhang Kecheng that the family seemed to have been robbed, but the thief did not steal anything, but killed his granddaughter's most precious parrot.

At first glance, Zhang Kecheng suspected that a child did it, after all, which adult could do this kind of thing.

Ning Zaifu shook his head when he heard this, put his fists on his legs, and explained: "Our baby has few friends, and we don't usually play with the children in the town, so it shouldn't be a prank for a child." ”

"Are you sure there's nothing missing in the house?"

Ning Zaifu shook his head: "You don't know what the conditions of our family are, and there are nothing valuable in the house." It's good that I really want to steal something, and now I feel bad. ”

Zhang Kecheng began to struggle, moving his right hand to his chin and rubbing the beard that had just emerged.

"That's weird. ”

"Not really. Ning Zaifu sighed, "Ah, don't talk about this, what is Officer Zhang going to do when he comes to our house?"

Zhang Kecheng put away the doubts on his face and smiled at Ning Zaifu: "My nephew didn't make trouble for you, did he?"

Ning Zaifu smiled and pointed to the fruit on the dinner table, "This kid is very well-behaved, and he knows that he is distressed, he went to the market with the family today, and specially bought things for us." We didn't do anything, you have to take it back when the time comes. ”

Zhang Kecheng looked at those things, his eyes lit up, he didn't know that Fu You, this kid was quite good at being a person, and he didn't usually see it at all.

"I'm thankful I didn't mess with you, it's just ......" Zhang Kecheng stammered rarely, "I've been busy lately, and I still don't have time to go home, and he doesn't want to go to grandma, I'm afraid the child will continue to live with you for a while, and I'm tired of you two elders." ”

"Where is it, Officer Zhang, don't be polite, Fu You and our family are classmates, and the two go to school together, and my wife and I are also relieved. ”

The bullying of her granddaughter is a pain in Ning Zaifu's heart.

Zhang Kecheng saw it and hurriedly changed the topic, "It's not too early, I won't disturb your rest." ”

"Officer Zhang, be careful on the way back. Ning Zaifu stood up and sent Zhang Kecheng out.

"Okay, Uncle Ning, it's windy outside, you can go into the house. ”

Fu You stood behind the window and waved at his brother-in-law who was far away, and he didn't close the window until he couldn't see Zhang Kecheng's back.

In Fu You's eyes, the night in the town is very much like an ink painting, but it is not the kind that people admire, but it makes people scared and tremble.

He shrugged his shoulders and twisted his neck, laughing at how he had become bolder.

Knock knock.

Fu You suddenly looked at the door, "Is it grandpa?"

"It's me. ”

Fu You hurriedly went to open the door: "You ......" he looked away, "Grandpa has prepared a meal for you, hurry down and eat." ”

"I'm not hungry, I'd like to ask you for a favor, is that okay?"

Fu You straightened his face and stared at Ning Jiayi's eyes that were still holding teardrops: "What's the matter?"

"Help me get something. ”

Fu You followed Ning Jiayi to the back balcony, and according to her instructions, he opened the small iron cages, put them into the corrugated box one by one, and finally sealed them with scotch tape.

"Hey, aren't we going out through the gate?"
