When I came downstairs, I saw an aunt with curly hair arguing with the property of the community, and the aunt shouted angrily with a waist pole: "You properties and security guards have no professional ethics at all, and someone entered the community in the middle of the night to steal things, and you said that you didn't find it." What do we do with so much money every year to feed you, should we ask you to come and collect our money and stand here as an ornament? ”

"That's right, I also heard the sound of footsteps walking around the community last night, I thought your property would take care of it, who knew that you didn't care, no matter what, you still pretended not to hear. I'm really convinced of your properties, and I'm doing nothing, if anyone owes a little property fee, you can collect it faster than anyone else. ”

"Actually, this is not the first time that there are footsteps circling around in the community in the middle of the night, I have heard it several times, but no one responds, I think it is because I am not sleeping well and have hallucinations. Last month, I lost my teddy, and when I heard you say that today, I remembered that the person must have stolen it. Got it once, he came a second time, you properties are really useless. ”

“……”

A few owners said one by one, the more they talked, the more angry they became, and they couldn't find anything to say about the property.

Fortunately, at this time, a man wearing glasses came out of the property office, and the man was helpless in the face of so many people's gossip, but he still said stubbornly: "Sister Wang, we just adjusted the surveillance, and there really is no one coming in." Even the elevator monitoring has been watched, and I haven't seen anyone go up to your floor. ”

"You fart! Last night, the footsteps had been running in the community, like a walk, and it took a long time to walk to our building. I kept hearing his footsteps walking up and down our hallway, and after walking for a long time, he left, and when he got up this morning, our cat was gone, and you said it wasn't the thief's doing, what is it? ”

The man with glasses looked helpless, and it was difficult to argue!

At this moment, a voice stopped me: "Mr. Li, why did you come down?" ”

I looked back and happened to see Li Xuemei! Li Xuemei had a few breakfast boxes in her hands, and it looked like she had come downstairs to buy us breakfast.

"Oh, I heard it was quite noisy downstairs, so I came over to see what was going on." I replied.

She said with an embarrassed face: "In this way, it was Sister Wang, who lived next door to me, who lost her cat at home, and then last night she said that she heard footsteps walking around the community, so she came to ask what was going on with the property, and they quarreled while asking." ”

"Let's go, I bought breakfast, let's go back to breakfast first!"

I nodded yes and followed her.

After leaving the crowd, Li Xuemei said with an embarrassed face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, it's noisy until you rest." ”

"It's fine!"

I saw Li Xuemei's nonchalant look, so I asked, "Miss Li, didn't you hear footsteps last night?" ”

Li Xuemei was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "Didn't you hear it, did you hear it?" ”

I nodded and said, "I heard it, at first the footsteps were walking around the neighborhood downstairs, and then they came to the corridor outside the door." ”

Listening to my words, Li Xuemei's brows furrowed unconsciously, and she blinked her eyes and said, "Why didn't I hear it!" I thought Sister Wang had heard it wrong. ”

This is related to people's sleep, some people sleep more deeply, and this kind of person may not be able to hear thunder and rain. And some people sleep relatively lightly, even if there is a little wind and grass, you can hear it. From a medical point of view, it is a question of whether the nervous system is sensitive or not, and from a metaphysical point of view, it is the self-reaction of the soul to external disturbances.

"However, it's good that I don't have a pet, and I keep the door closed, so I won't be stolen......"

Soon, we were back in the house, and Fat Wu was still sleeping, and after I woke him up, I went to breakfast.

Li Xuemei bought us mixed sauce noodles, and she told me that this mixed sauce noodles were the best in the neighborhood, and she and Wang Zhanpeng often ate their mixed sauce noodles. I found that Li Xuemei's relationship with Wang Zhanpeng is really good, even if he has been missing for more than half a year, Li Xuemei's words are inseparable from him.

Looking at Li Xuemei, I thought to myself, maybe this is the habit! Two people have lived together for a long time, and they are used to each other's existence, and if one day the other person disappears, that person will become constrained, and no matter what he does, he will think of the person who disappeared.

Soon, Wu Fatzi also finished washing, and after he came over, Li Xuemei asked him: "Wu Di, did you hear footsteps last night?" ”

When Fat Wu heard Li Xuemei's inquiry, he sighed and asked, "Footsteps, what footsteps?" ”

Obviously, as long as Wu Fatzi falls asleep, he belongs to the kind of thunder that can't move!

"You didn't hear that either?"

Fat Wu nodded and shook his head and said, "I didn't hear it!" What's wrong? Is something wrong? ”

"Nothing, eat noodles!" I interrupted Fat Wu, who let out an oh and ate the noodles.

Actually, I was haunted by the footsteps last night, and I always felt that it was not the footsteps of a thief, and a thief couldn't walk so loudly if he wanted to steal something. They must have been tiptoeing to keep themselves from making footsteps, which sounded like normal walking, and even a little bit of stomping, far from the thief's.

But I didn't think about it any longer, but after breakfast I took the two of us straight to the riverside road, and the old beggar promised me to tell me where the bull's-eyed man came from today. We bought three cigarettes before we went, and last night I promised him that I would bring him three cigarettes in exchange.

We drove Li Xuemei's car today, with Wu Fatzi as the driver, and Li Xuemei and I sat in the back seat.

Li Xuemei asked me a little incomprehensibly: "Mr. Li, is that weird person related to Zhanpeng's disappearance?" ”

I thought for a while and said, "I don't know for the time being, but since your husband saw such a thing in that special time period, it is very likely that there is a certain connection." There aren't too many clues right now, as long as you can find this kind of similar clue, you can look for it. ”

After listening to my words, Li Xuemei sighed, nodded and said no more.

Soon, we came to the place where we saw the old beggar last night, but there were a lot of people gathered here, and two police cars were also on the scene. In the midst of the crowd, I saw a cordon.

Seeing this picture, I suddenly had a bad premonition! As soon as I got out of the car, I plunged into the crowd, and when I entered, I saw a corpse surrounded by a crowd, the clothes on the corpse were dirty and crumpled, and he was none other than the old beggar who had told me last night to find me where the bull-eyed man lived.
