Chapter 120: A Key
Bai Xue has always believed in Xiao Geyan's judgment, and he can say more complicated things in the first place, not to mention a little Yao Xiaojie. So she simply stopped studying the door and what was inside it, and looked in the direction Yao Xiaojie had left, wanting to see what was going on with the child.
After another two or three minutes, at the end of the dark corridor, there was the sound of Si Suo's footsteps again, the voice was very soft, like a cat sneaking in the night, and when I heard it, I knew that it was not an adult.
Soon, Yao Xiaojie's thin little figure slowly walked out of the darkness, his two big eyes were particularly bright in the dim light, and his two hands were folded and covered on his chest, as if he was holding something.
Yao Xiaojie walked over, didn't even look at Xiao Geyan, went straight to Bai Xue, came to Bai Xue, pulled her shirt with one hand, and stuffed Bai Xue with the other hand what he was holding in his hand.
Bai Xue subconsciously took it, and after holding it in his hand, with the feel of the thing, he immediately realized that the thing Yao Xiaojie handed him turned out to be a key, as for which door this key was used to open, this can hardly be called a question, because the answer is obvious.
"Why are you giving me this?" Bai Xue couldn't help but bend down and asked Yao Xiaojie in a soft voice.
No way, this child is really quiet, quiet is like a shadow, Bai Xue instinctively has an illusion, as if his voice is a little louder, otherwise he will be frightened, or he will be shattered, in short, the consequences are very serious.
Yao Xiaojie didn't speak, he stared at Bai Xue without blinking, there was not too much expression on his little face, but his eyes seemed to be full of longing.
"That'...... Then thank you!" Bai Xue saw that Yao Xiaojie had no intention of opening her mouth at all, and she didn't want to continue to ask the child, so she simply held the key in one hand and gently patted the top of Yao Xiaojie's head with the other hand, "Can you tell me, if you got this from?
Yao Xiaojie nodded, his lips squirmed, and then said to Bai Xue in a mosquito-like voice, "Dad." ”
Obviously, he was telling Bai Xue that the key belonged to his father.
Bai Xue's heart moved, and she quietly took out a small evidence bag from her pocket, and then put the key in, fortunately, when she took the key, she was pinching it with her fingertips, and she didn't grasp it a lot, otherwise it would have covered a lot of the original fingerprints on it, and it was not so easy to confirm.
Although Yao Xiaojie took the key with his own hands, and personally confirmed that it was the key he took from his father, but he was too young after all, although the ownership of a key is still consistent with his age and intelligence level, and the situation he expressed is also legally valid, but children are children after all, if Yao Ziqiang doubts and denies, or Yao Xiaojie changes his words later, the keys are all stained with snowy fingerprints, and nothing belongs to Yao Ziqiang, then it is easy to become passive。
"Xiaojie, does your father usually come here?" Bai Xue pointed to the door of the small warehouse and asked Yao Xiaojie.
Yao Xiaojie nodded, shook his head again, and then nodded again.
This expression made Bai Xue a little confused, she frowned and looked at Yao Xiaojie, a little confused.
"Why are you nodding and shaking your head again? Can't you figure out what's going on here?" she continued to talk to Yao Xiaojie with a pleasant face, without putting pressure on Yao Xiaojie.
"I know," Yao Xiaojie said to Bai Xue with a rare opening, "Dad often comes here." ”
"When does Dad usually come? Will he bring you with him? Aren't you scared when you come here with Dad?" Bai Xue squatted down and talked to Yao Xiaojie, and she had to be careful not to let the child feel that she was asking something aggressively, so as not to be so willing to open up if she was under pressure.
Yao Xiaojie didn't know if he had a few encounters with Bai Xue, so he became familiar with it, his courage became bigger, and his personality became a little more extroverted, but he was still in a very good mood today, and he didn't show any disgust with Bai Xue's inquiry, and responded to her question uncharacteristically.
"Daddy comes in the evening," he whispered, "I'm not afraid without me." ”
Facing such a thin and pale child, listening to him calmly say that he was not afraid of such a corridor that was dark all the year round and stored many dead corpses called human specimens, Bai Xue's heart was somewhat unpleasant, most of the children of Yao Xiaojie's age were well taken care of by their families, and some of them were pampered, and they were scared when the wind was a little blowing.
Compared to those children, Yao Xiaojie was like a delicate rose carefully tended in the flower garden, and an inconspicuous little weed in the cracks of the stone bricks outside the fence.
Thinking like this, Bai Xue had many doubts in her heart. It stands to reason that Yao Ziqiang's salary in medical school may not be particularly high, but it is not low to say that it is low, if it is said that he is alone, he has to rent a house, hire someone to take care of Yao Xiaojie, and pay for various expenses in life, it seems to be a bit cramped. But now boarding in the school's anatomy building, he just treats Yao Xiaojie as a free-range chicken all day long, and he doesn't bother to take care of it at all, in this case, there is no need to spend money to hire someone to take care of it, so what kind of reason is Yao Ziqiang would rather take his children aggrieved and squeeze in such an environment, fooling around, rather than go out to rent a house and let his children live a life that ordinary children can live?
"Why does Dad have the key here? Do you know that?" asked Bai Xue again.
Yao Xiaojie was asked by her this time, blinked his eyes, and recalled for a long time before he said, "I don't know either...... Daddy won't tell me...... Dad said...... Dad said......"
The more he spoke, the more anxious he became, and there was a choked sobs in his voice because he was in a hurry.
"Dad said don't ask what you shouldn't ask, if anyone asks me, I will say I don't know. Yao Xiaojie said.
"Then why are you telling me?" Bai Xue pointed to the tip of her nose.
Yao Xiaojie squirmed, and muttered in a helpless voice: "Because Dad said...... You're like a mom. ”
