Chapter 368: The Gambler (14)

In the end, Brother Yang really bought some snacks at the grocery store, and the proprietress was so happy that she was smiling as if she had seen the God of Wealth. We were wandering near the deaf mother's house, and it was just time for school to get out, and a large group of children were smiling and happy after class, and at this time, a girl of about seven or eight years old, carrying a school bag, was walking this way. Brother Yang had a flash of inspiration, walked forward, stopped the little girl, and asked kindly: "Little sister, are you Chen Xiaosi, the granddaughter of the deaf woman, I am the ......" Before Brother Yang finished introducing himself, the girl's little melon seed face was waiting for a pair of big eyes, looking at the man in front of her in horror, and the next second she was crying, and ran straight to the deaf mother-in-law's house without saying a word. Brother Yang, who was left with a puzzled face, looked at the child's back in a daze, and could only laugh twice speechlessly. Seeing this situation, I couldn't help laughing twice, Brother Yang straightened up, coughed a few times in embarrassment, and jokingly relieved himself: "It is estimated that the little girl was too shy, and ran away when she saw a stranger." Bai Xuanzhi replied with a smile: "Brother Yang, could it be that your appearance scared people away?" Brother Yang calmly replied: "I think my appearance is okay." Bai Xuanzhi looked at Brother Yang, with a smile on his face, and didn't stimulate him anymore.

In fact, Brother Yang is a very cheerful person, and he usually amuses me and Bai Xuanzhi. In the police station, he also has a nickname: housekeeper! This title is very appropriate for his character, he is also a person who loves the director, and all the chores in their department are handled by him, such as asking for leave, buying office supplies, ordering meals and other trivial matters, all of which are handled by Brother Yang. For this reason, ** once joked that he chose the wrong gender when he was reincarnated, and he should have been cast into his daughter, who was wrong for the man. He wasn't angry, he still had a smile on his face, and he got into trouble with his colleagues in the bureau. Everyone likes his character, he doesn't care, and he knows how to be considerate of others, if it was his daughter, it is estimated that he would have been taken away by the bachelors in the bureau.

The two of us didn't dare to call him "housekeeper mother" directly, and we still had to follow the principle of respecting the old and loving the young. Brother Yang showed an embarrassed expression and muttered a few words, "Otherwise, let's go to the deaf woman again." "According to the plan, we went to the deaf woman's house again, but we were still kicked out, and we didn't even have a chance to speak. Several "closed-door soups" can't help but greatly reduce our morale and lose our fighting spirit.

In the end, it was not early, and Brother Yang decided to go home and find another way. We couldn't think of a better way, so we could only go home empty-handed for the time being. Brother Yang asked us to go to the police station tomorrow to find him, and then we will see the situation and decide. He's going to go back and think about it. After saying goodbye to Brother Yang, Bai Xuanzhi and I walked together and returned home. Along the way, Bai Xuanzhi didn't say much, but he didn't answer a word, and more often, he was quietly in thought. He didn't notice that he had been following me, and I looked back at him from time to time, for fear that he would accidentally get lost in his absent-minded appearance.

When I got to the door and opened it, I slipped in like a ghost, threw myself on the couch, and lay motionless like a dead body. I'm really tired of this day. It's a pleasant thing to toss around all day and not find any useful clues. Bai Xuanzhi sits, he sits elegantly, without any big movements. I looked up at him a little and asked tentatively, "What have you been thinking about along the way?" Bai Xuanzhi didn't answer immediately, and after a while, he nodded.

"It's just that there are some questions that I can't figure out." He said with a heavy heart.

"What's the problem?" I asked in a low voice, curious.

Bai Xuanzhi hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's just strange why that girl ran away like a ghost when she saw us." When he said that, I remembered something, and there was such a thing.

I thought for a moment, and replied, "I think they must have been frightened by the debt collectors before, so it is natural that they have a sense of resistance to strangers, just as the deaf woman has done to us today, and she must have been intimidated a lot. You also know how ruthless those who want money and don't want their lives will be to the elderly and children. ”

Bai Xuanzhi hummed simply, he seemed to remember something, picked up the microphone, dialed a group of numbers, it turned out that he was calling Brother Yang. He chatted for a while and then hung up. I was puzzled, looked at him, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why do you want Brother Yang to investigate those who are responsible?" What does this have to do with them? Bai Xuanzhi returned his gaze to me and smiled slightly: "I just suddenly remembered that the proprietress said that I haven't seen those debt collectors come in recent years, and I feel that things are a little strange." As you said, those people are people who want money and don't want their lives, people who can kill people and set fires, why did they suddenly give up stalking the deaf woman. If the father's debt is repaid according to the normal practice of those people, they should have done something to the deaf women. ”

"You mean you suspect something happened to those guys?" I immediately asked Bai Xuanzhi.

He looked at me and continued, "It's possible, perhaps, we can get some clues from them. After all, Chen Jin's death has nothing to do with them, and they will know more or less the inside story. Bai Xuanzhi showed a complicated smile.

I'm still wondering, Chen Jin's death should not be so simple, under what circumstances did a person choose to commit suicide so desperately, and he also had to poison his own son with his own hands. Perhaps, he had no way out at that time, but to choose to fight for his life.

I looked at Bai Xuanzhi, he is like this, cautious and careful, I can't learn this. "Have you been pondering every word the proprietress said since you were at the grocery store?" I didn't even think about it before I spit it out.

"You can't trust it too much, you can only use it as a reference. The credibility of hearsay can only be half believed, and the other half needs to be carefully considered before defining. Bai Xuanzhi stared at me and said calmly.

"Well, that's the only thing you can do." I retorted with a little dissatisfaction, if I want to do his kind of delicate, I really can't learn it, I guess I can't carefully analyze the truth or falsehood of other people's every sentence in my life, and besides, I'm not a policeman, do I need to recognize the truth and falsehood of other people's words like this? As far as I think, I'm afraid I don't have that mind. I'm not as calm and agile as Bai Xuanzhi, and for me, just imagining it makes me feel like it's a painful thing, let alone asking me to do it. I glanced at Bai Xuanzhi, who was silent, and looked at him in a daze for a long time.
