I have almost no friends in this world, and no one knows that I live here, and who else can knock on the door except the landlord.

I hurriedly turned the volume on my computer to silent and cautiously drifted to the door, peering out through the cat's eye. I saw a man standing outside the door, not too tall, with his head down at this time, I couldn't see his face clearly, but he was dressed very familiarly, I should have seen him somewhere recently. As I was thinking, the man outside the door looked up and stared at the cat's eyes. He is Zheng Duan.

"Zhao Youyi, can you hear me? I'm Zheng Duan, a police officer of the Criminal Police Team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, we've met before," he took out his police ID card from his pocket and showed it in front of the cat's eyes, "Are you at home?" ”

Li Luo must not be good for you to come to me, I will think of Li Luo's sentence "see you later" in the morning, and I feel that the nightmare has returned. Sorry Zheng Duan, let you run for nothing, I looked at my transparent body, shrugged my shoulders, and continued to observe every move outside through the cat's eye.

Zheng Duan knocked on the door twice more, then looked at the floor number plate with self-doubt, and scratched his hair suspiciously. Then, suddenly, he leaned down, as if he had his ear pressed to the door. I could only see his legs and ass through the cat's eye.

After a while, presumably without hearing anything, Zheng Duan reinstalled the police officer card in his hand, took out his mobile phone and dialed a call, and pressed the elevator downstairs while talking. I didn't hear much about the specific content of the call, but judging by the "boss" at the beginning, it was estimated that he was reporting the situation to Li Lu.

It's good to go, it's good to go. I floated slowly back into the room, the projection screen still holding the big face of the demon Xiaohua, and I turned off the projector a little angrily. Time is always easy to kill by entertainment, and in the blink of an eye, it's afternoon, and I can look forward to the sunset of a new day.

I floated to the window to open the curtains, but I accidentally caught a glimpse of the police car parked downstairs, which frightened me to stop what I was doing. It's a bit too much to let Zheng Duan drive a police car to find me. I looked downstairs through the small gap between the curtains, and because it was the seventh floor, the people and cars below looked a little small, like props used in miniature stop motion animation. But I still noticed that there were a few good people near the police car stopping to watch, I understand the psychology of these people, although I died once, but I also retain this kind of petty citizen philistine mentality: the appearance of the police car is like a symbol, a magnetic field, which means that there is always excitement to see.

I lay by the window for a while, and I didn't see any signs of the police car driving away downstairs. I carefully tidied up the curtains, floated to the sofa to look through the phone, several hours passed, still no reply from Guan Linlin, I dialed her phone again, but I didn't expect that this time it was no longer no one answered, but directly turned off.

She wouldn't have had any accidents, the thought crossed my mind, and I hastened to dispel it. I'd rather believe that this was a small ploy she used to deliberately default on my payment—perhaps she thought about it later, and Cao Ke wasn't worth her money.

I managed to survive until the sun went down, and the last bit of the sun was wiped away by the night, and I finally took on my human form on the sofa. The police car outside the window is no more, and I don't know which neighbor's aroma of stewed pork ribs is coming down the exhaust pipe, although I can't eat it, the smell still makes my appetite move.

I changed out of the clothes I wore for last night's grave digging, threw them in the washing machine, washed up carefully, changed into a white chiffon dress, and prepared to go out to dinner. I trimmed my eyebrows, put on makeup, looked in front of the mirror with accessories, and recently bought a new butterfly-style pair of rhinestone-stained earrings that match this dress.

Just as I was stinking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door, and the knock was very steady, almost with some regularity. It can't be that Zheng Duan is back again, he is really persevering. I hurriedly put on my earrings, ran to the door, and saw through the cat's eye a man standing upright, with a playful expression on his face, not in a hurry.

Li Lu. Ah, my nightmare is about to start again.

I hesitated for a few minutes, but opened the door and looked timidly at the visitor. Li Lu was a little surprised at first when he saw me open the door, and then quickly adjusted his signature smile and looked me up and down with a gentle expression.

"You're at home", he propped up the door with his hand, and I had to let go of the doorknob and give up the stupid act of fighting him, "Now this is going out?"

"No, that, I was just going out for dinner...... You're getting off work early", I stood at the door, giggling and perfunctory. Hell knows what he's up to the table.

"In the afternoon, I asked Duanzheng to come and pick you up and take you to the bureau, and he said that no one opened the door for him, and you might not be at home. ”

"Really...... I'm at home in the afternoon...... I've been sleeping since I came back in the morning, and you know I didn't rest last night, so I probably slept more deadly, and I didn't hear him knock on the door," I said, brainstorming and trying to make up a plausible reason. I can't say that I'm at home in the afternoon, I'm invisible, I just don't want to open the door for him.

Li Lu snorted and nodded solemnly, indicating that he agreed with my explanation, "You're going to eat, right, I didn't eat either, why don't you go together?"

"Don't, don't, I...... I prefer to have dinner alone ......", Li Lu's invitation that I couldn't refuse made my head big, so I had to talk nonsense about running trains. What can be done, the police recruited by themselves can only be sent away by their own clumsy tongue.

"Yesterday I ate curry rice at my house, and I thought you were very satisfied", he interrupted me, his eyes full of teasing, "I wasn't alone at the time. ”

“……”

In the end, I still couldn't refuse Li Lu's seemingly consultative but coercive invitation. I grabbed my satchel and went downstairs with Li Lu, where his SUV was parked with dirt like dirt on its tires. I wanted to sit in the back seat, but he opened the passenger door for me in advance, so I had to sit down.

"Just take a bite. Why don't I treat you to this meal, you invite me to eat wontons in the morning. ”

"It's okay", Li Lu's attention was not on what to eat, but reversing with a focused expression, carefully avoiding pedestrians on both sides. In the community, people from work came back one after another, most of them carrying vegetables in their hands and looking hurried. Many of the students who came home from school kicked the stones on the side of the road as they walked, and their grandparents walked behind with their school bags.

"Zhao Youyi, is this your real name?" he stopped and stopped for a while before driving out of the community and turning right into the huge queue of traffic. "I checked the people with this name in the city's permanent residents today, there are three people with the same name, excluding one male, and the other two women, one is forty-three years old and one is seven years old, and their age does not match you. ”

"Maybe you have another name?"

"No," I shook my head slowly, thinking frantically about how to answer his question, but my mind went blank. This man, who said that he trusted me, still secretly checked my information behind his back. "Maybe there's something wrong with your system, I've been using this name for more than 20 years...... "I can't lie that I'm forty-three years old and enthusiastic about maintenance, so I have a childlike face, or that I'm a seven-year-old, born old, born to run."

"yes, that's interesting. You're not from the city?"

"That's right. I didn't say I'm from this city, migrant girl, no problem. I hurriedly bit the answer. Damn it, can't he ask this question in advance?

He didn't say anything more, just smiled at the corners of his mouth, indicating that he didn't believe my explanation at all. I looked out the window with a weak heart, and the market was bustling with people, like a feast flowing freely. I was drawn to the signs on both sides of the beer advertisements, but when I looked closely, I realized that it was the sign of the barbecue restaurant not far from our apartment, which Li Luo drove around and returned to the vicinity of the starting point.

Soon I saw the police badge hanging high in the city bureau and sent me a sincere greeting.
