"What's going on with Guimei, it can't be mentally abnormal, right?" At the dinner table two days later, Xinya looked at me with puzzled eyes.

"What's wrong? How can there be so many abnormal minds?"

"For a while, she was lively and naughty and even a little bit of a little girl, and for a while, she was worried and worried, full of thoughts but wanted to speak and stopped, and from time to time there was a sentence in the sky and a sentence in the ground, and no one understood what she said, and there was no follow-up to ask her. ”

I also noticed that Guimei's mood changes are erratic, but it is not good to strengthen her impression in front of Xinya, and understated: "After all, it is normal for young girls to be sentimental and even moody." ”

"I told her about Wenwen's child, guess what she said?" Xinya asked herself: "She said to me, let's stop thinking about it, the child's genes must be yours, but there is no need to publicly recognize the child like that, and said don't waste money to cure any sleepwalking." ”

"She didn't think I was sleepwalking. ”

"Yes, when it comes to sleepwalking, I also told her about the several sleepwalking adventures you have experienced. ”

"She knows, I told her. I interrupted Xinya.

No wonder she seemed to be listening, and said dreamily: No, I must protect him, otherwise something will really happen. ”

"Whom? ”

But when I asked her what she meant, she wouldn't say a word. ”

Although the embarrassing incident with Gui Mei at the door of the house on the night of the last time I went down passed quickly, the matter of promising Meng Po to be the chief officer of the case has not been implemented. It's hard for me to let go of the search for my wife's ghost, so I don't want to let go of the opportunity to have a good relationship with this yin.

The police officers at the police station I know who handle cases are all "handling me" rather than "helping me", and they are asked to check the past bad deeds of the deceased, and the friendship is obviously not at that level.

searched all the relationships, and finally entrusted a classmate's wife in the court to a deputy director of the police station where Li was registered before his death.

In order to prevent me from escaping at night, Xinya went to the restaurant we had agreed with in advance, found a table in the hall and sat down, ordered two dishes and ate by herself.

When I arrived, Director Zhu hadn't arrived yet, so I went to say hello to Xinya, and Xinya said you go, don't make people feel that there are acquaintances watching you.

Xinya is really well-intentioned, and I have a feeling of emotion.

I don't know how long I'll talk to Director Zhu, I'm worried that Xinya will be too bored to sit there alone for too long, so I called Gui Mei and asked her to come over and eat with Xinya to kill time.

After Deputy Director Zhu arrived, I went directly to the booked single room with him.

From the chat, I learned that Deputy Director Zhu was an old man from the police station, who had worked there for more than 20 years. ”

I frequently raised my glass to invite Director Zhu to drink, and at the same time listened attentively.

"Stealing chickens and dogs, fighting, eating and drinking, damaging public property, molesting women, molesting girls, almost everything. But he is lazy, afraid of hardship, greedy for life and afraid of death. Why do I say he is smart, he is a frequent visitor to our police station, and he has been detained countless times, but he has handled it very well, he has never been sentenced, he has never been in prison. ”

But at a young age, he died. ”

"Alas, people are not as good as heaven, who knows that in the end, he was beaten to death by others in the course of a brawl. By the way, this man has been dead for more than a year, what do you want to know about this?"

I knew that my request was difficult to explain, so I had already thought of an excuse in advance: "A friend of mine writes novels, and I heard that there is such a person as Li Gangster, and he thinks that as you said, he has a lot of personality, and he wants to collect some writing materials and study and analyze this person's personality and psychology." You don't need to be very detailed, just know when he did something bad and what the punishment was. ”

Deputy Director Zhu promised to arrange for someone to sort it out and send me an email back.

After seeing off Deputy Director Zhu, I turned back to the restaurant, and Gui Mei and Xinya just walked out of the restaurant.

The three of them took a car, and Xinya and I dropped by to take Gui Mei home.

Before getting out of the car, Gui Mei said to me, "I'm going to play with you next weekend." ”

When I was thinking about what this girl wanted to do, Gui Mei turned to Xinya again: "Sister Xinya, you have to make me something delicious." ”

Gui Mei told Xin Ya to go to my place for lunch on Saturday, and Xin Ya took me to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy vegetables, and it was all Gui Mei's favorite food.

"I'm going to be jealous! I've never been so interested in your brother. "Xinya wouldn't let me into the kitchen, and I snuggled up to the kitchen door frame and joked with Xinya.

"Excuse me? Xinya continued to work on her, without raising her head.

Xinya is indeed very kind, I know that she and Gui Mei are still secretly competitive, but she behaves very adultly, and she tolerates Gui Mei's willfulness with a tolerant heart, and is even full of maternal compassion.

But Gui Mei "doesn't know how to lift", and the meals are all ready, and she is nowhere to be seen.

I called her three times and she didn't answer.

"Did she come by bicycle and didn't hear the phone ring?" The food was cold, and Xinya took some of the dishes back to the kitchen to heat them up, while making excuses for Guimei.

After the meal was heated, it was almost half past one, Xinya continued to call, and the third time, Guimei's phone had been turned off.

"No, you go and drive, we have to go and see, I'm worried she's sick. ”

Maybe I was a little nervous because of Xinya's emotion: "Nothing will happen, right?"

"Who's right, just take a look. ”

"You don't have the phone number of the girl she shares with, do you?" Gui Mei worked short hours, unlike Wenwen, who later rented a one-bedroom apartment by herself after her income was a little higher.

I don't usually go to Guimei's residence, but I finally determined which one belonged to Guimei from the identical six-story red brick building, and killed a bunch of brain cells on which unit door.

"Knock knock!" Xinya walked ahead and knocked on Guimei's door several times before revealing the face of a girl whose eyes had not yet opened through the crack in the door, but it was not Guimei.

"Wait a minute. When the girl saw me behind Xinya, she quickly shrank in, probably not wearing much clothes.

"Is Guimei at home?" asked the girl as she entered the house.

The girl scratched her scalp, as if she was recalling the events of the previous night, frowned, took a breath and said, "It should be there, I didn't pay much attention to it." ”

Xinya also wanted to ask the girl, so I went up and knocked on Guimei's door.

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!

There was no sound.

"Looks like I'm not at home!" I said, turning to Xinya.

Xinya pushed me aside, went up to look at the door lock, turned the doorknob and pushed it hard and went straight in.

Gui Mei didn't lock the door at all.
