Chapter 171: Li Huaqiang's book
Seeing that the aunt was much calmer now, but she was just whimpering in a low voice, Xu Hao asked Liu Wei to help look at the aunt temporarily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Together with Lu Ran, he walked towards the door on the left.
In this room, too, there is a bed and a small wardrobe. The difference is that on the other side of the bed, there is an extra desk, the table is not big, it is also wooden, the style is simple, it is not like it was bought with money, but it seems to have found a few wooden planks and knocked them out with tools.
Thinking of the "dead ghost" in the aunt's mouth, this table must not have been made for him by Li Huaqiang's father.
Does his mom do it? Or does he do it himself?
Why would he make himself a table?
"He's very well-behaved......" The cry of the aunt outside the door came in one after another, Lu Ran felt that she didn't feel like she was defending her son, her words, possibly, were sincere.
Lu Ran took a closer look at the small table, and saw that the table top was wiped clean, but there were no books, stationery or anything like that.
However, thinking about Li Huaqiang, who dropped out of junior high school before graduating, these things should have been thrown away a long time ago, and they would not still be placed here.
Lu Ran stood at the door and observed a few times, Xu Hao also followed for a few minutes, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything famous, "Lu Ran, do you see anything? I feel that this place is very ordinary." ”
Lu Ran didn't answer his words, this is not a crime scene, and they are not looking for evidence of Li Huaqiang's crime, in fact, Li Huaqiang's criminal evidence is sufficient. Therefore, it is normal for Xu Hao not to understand what Lu Ran is doing.
In fact, what Lu Ran is doing now is to observe Li Huaqiang's past life, observe his character, and find the root cause and logic of his behavior, but this kind of observation is not directly aimed at Li Huaqiang himself, but indirectly.
Lu Ran took a few more steps towards the house, he came to the wardrobe, grabbed the handle of the cabinet with both hands, and opened the wardrobe.
As soon as I opened it, something suddenly fell from it.
Lu Ran hurriedly stepped back, but his heels were on the edge of the bed behind him, and he sat on the bed with his buttocks, and things still fell on him.
Lu Ran was a little painful, and the thing that fell was still a little heavy.
Then, the thing fell to the ground.
Xu Hao hurriedly ran over and pulled Lu Ran aside, "It's okay, what's going on?" ”
Lu Ran waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and seeing that there was no other movement, he bent down and picked up the things on the ground.
When he picked it up and looked at it, Lu Ran was a little surprised.
"Language?"
This is a textbook, a junior high school Chinese textbook.
Isn't this Li Huaqiang's wardrobe? Could it be that there are books in it?
Lu Ran walked to the cabinet again,
At first glance, there were indeed some boys' clothes hanging in the cabinet, which should have been worn by Li Huaqiang in the old days.
However, when I removed the hanging clothes, inside the cabinet, there were neatly stacked books, forming a small mountain.
"He's read so many books?"
Lu Ran felt unbelievable, in front of him, it looked like a pile of collections, and it looked like a waste collection place.
Most of these books are very worn, and if they are thrown on the ground, they are like waste paper to be sold to a garbage recycling station.
However, these books are hidden in Li Huaqiang's closet, and it is obvious that for him, they are definitely his treasures.
Even if it is said that he is collecting, it is not an exaggeration at all, because, in those books, in addition to the old textbooks, there are also some common sense readings, including "One Hundred Thousand Whys", "The Mystery of the Universe" and so on.
Lu Ran picked up the junior high school Chinese textbook that fell on him, he looked into the cabinet, it turned out that the cabinet was divided into two spaces by a wooden board, the upper space was smaller, and the lower space was larger, and this language book fell from above.
Lu Ran opened the first side of the Chinese textbook, and the first thing that caught his eye was a crooked name, but it was not the three words Li Huaqiang.
"Zhao Xiaohong?"
Who is Zhao Xiaohong?
Lu Ran read the three words on the inside of the cover, he could be sure that it was a name, but he couldn't be sure who the owner of this name was.
"What are you doing? what are you doing in his room, don't touch his things!" the aunt seemed to wake up a little from her criping stupor.
She saw Lu Ran and Xu Hao in her son's room and didn't know what they were doing, and she was a little nervous. These strangers seemed to her to be intruders of unknown origin.
Qiangzi used to dislike people turning over his things and reading his books, which were all his treasures, so he hid all the books in the closet, these people arrested him, and they had to turn over his things, and his aunt couldn't sit still.
She stood up and walked towards Li Huaqiang's room, Liu Wei half-supported and half-hugged her, but his two hands pulled her aunt's arms and shoulders, not wanting her to go forward.
"What are you going to do?" the aunt shouted angrily into the room.
I saw Lu Ran walking out of the door, he looked at his aunt, but he didn't stop and advise her not to shout, but beckoned to them, signaling that Liu Wei could come over with his aunt.
Liu Wei didn't know what Lu Ran was going to do, so he had to do it.
When the aunt got closer, Lu Ran explained to her kindly: "I just want to see his room." I found some books, and I guess you're right, he really likes to read. ”
Lu Ran first affirmed his aunt's defense of Li Huaqiang.
"I'll just say it, he's very well-behaved, you have to believe me. When the aunt heard Lu Ran's approval, her attitude towards Lu Ran changed a lot.
"Auntie, I saw his junior high school textbook. I want to ask, do you know Zhao Xiaohong?" Lu Ran opened the cover of the textbook, took the signature on the first page, took it to his aunt, and showed it to her.
The aunt looked at the signature twice and shook her head with an embarrassed face, "I don't know how to read." ”
"Then do you know this person?" Lu Ran still didn't give up.
"Xiaohong, Xiaohong......" Auntie tried to recall, and suddenly she raised her head, looked at Lu Ran and asked, "You said this book is his junior high school textbook?"
"yes. Lu Ran flipped back to the cover and glanced at it, "The textbook for the third year of junior high school." ”
"However, he didn't study in the second year of junior high school. Auntie said puzzled.
Lu Ran and Xu Hao were stunned for a moment when they heard what their aunt said.
Xu Hao didn't understand very well, Li Huaqiang didn't go to school anymore, where did he go to find the textbooks, and what do these textbooks mean when he got them?
In addition to being stunned, Lu Ran had a little more excitement, as if he had found a crack in this tightly knit room that could be broken through.
"Who is Xiaohong?"
Lu Ran looked at his aunt again and asked, he knew that she was about to remember.
"Classmates, his classmates. ”
The aunt touched her head and said in a trance.
Lu Ran walked into the room again, and picked up another book casually, which was a math textbook, and an unfamiliar name was also written on the inside of the cover, "Wei Guomin." ”
Lu Ran put down the textbook and picked up a popular science book "The Origin of Species", which was just as shabby and did not have a name written on it.
Picking up the book, Lu Ran asked, "Auntie, did you buy this for him?"
"No, I don't remember. ”
"Would you have given him pocket money before?" Lu Ran continued to ask.
"I have money and I will steal a little, and the money is taken away by his dead ghost father, and I really don't have any money. When she said this, Auntie still carried a long-standing guilt.
"Now the problem is, he has no money at all, and he has dropped out of school, so where did he get so many books?"
Lu Ran stood in the middle of a pile of books, as if talking to himself, and as if asking Xu Hao and Liu Wei beside him.
"Zhao Xiaohong is his classmate, Wei Guomin should be too, maybe he borrowed it from his classmate and wants to come?" Xu Hao continued to think about it according to what his aunt said just now, although he thought of this stubble, but he still didn't think that this pile of books could explain anything.
Liu Wei looked at all kinds of shabby books, in addition to textbooks, there are also some extended reading materials, "I think he not only borrowed textbooks from his classmates to study on his own, he may have also picked up a lot of other books from the waste, these books look very old, it is hard to imagine that a person who loves books so much will keep the books so badly in the cabinet." Besides, he didn't have the money to buy so many books. ”
Liu Wei also made some reasoning based on his own judgment.
"Okay, Xiao Liu, usually you are under me, I haven't found out yet, you have a good brain. Xu Hao patted him on the shoulder, he was happy for a while, and then he looked puzzled, "But, what does this mean?
Xu Hao raised his eyes and looked at Lu Ran and asked.
"Yes, it means that he really loves to read. ”
"It's as simple as that?" Xu Hao looked at Lu Ran, and then at Liu Wei, Liu Wei shrugged, indicating that he didn't know why.
Moreover, some of the books he reads have exceeded his educational level, he not only loves to read, but also a good boy with strong self-learning ability. Lu Ran's previous words were not finished, he said while thinking. (To be continued.) )
