Chapter Twenty-Four: Lao Liu's Home Visit
Night fell again, and the lights of Happy Valley Entertainment City were still on. The prisoners and monsters incident in the first two days did not stop the prosperity here. On the contrary, the bosses here have been in a good mood lately.
The shops destroyed by the monsters have received a large repair fee, and the ruffian brothers who have been roaming the area are gone.
At the bus stop, a little old man walked down with a thermos cup filled with wolfberry water, looked around, and sighed: "It's still so lively." ”
As he spoke, he silently took a sip of wolfberry water.
On the way, a middle-aged man saw the little old man and was shocked: "Brother Liu! ”
The little old man looked at him, grinned, and said, "Oh? Isn't this a little tiger? ”
The middle-aged man laughed, immediately came to Lao Liu's side, and said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, I haven't seen you for so long, come here, isn't it ......?"
He raised an eyebrow vigorously.
The little old man smiled slightly, shook the thermos cup in his hand, and said, "I'm not here to play, I'm here to find the parents of the students." ”
"Looking for someone?" The man who called himself Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Brother Liu, who are you looking for?" I live in this area and should be able to help. ”
"Wu Bo." Lao Liu sighed: "The adoptive father of a student in our class was only adopted for one day and was subjected to domestic violence. ”
"Wu Bo? Xiaohu pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Is this Wu Bo you are talking about living at No. 1590 Happy Street?" ”
"You know?"
What the middle-aged man said happened to be where Lao Liu remembered.
"Brother Liu, are you sure? This Wu Bo is a drunkard, he is abducted and deceived by his younger brother all day long, and he can't support himself! The middle-aged man was surprised.
"And, since the monster appeared here two days ago, the two brothers are gone. How is it possible to adopt a child. The middle-aged man added.
"Oh?"
Lao Liu's action of drinking wolfberry water was sluggish.
Although he hasn't seen this man called Xiaohu for a long time, the other party has no reason to meet and tease him.
But if what he said is true, then what's going on with Chen Xia's information?
"Take me to see it." Lao Liu put down the thermos cup and said in a deep voice.
"Okay." The middle-aged man Xiaohu nodded.
So the two walked along the street to the back of the entertainment city.
It's the exact opposite of the bustling entertainment city, it's a relatively dilapidated residential area, the ground is damp, and the air smells faintly musty.
They walked into the alleys of residential areas, and the walls on both sides were sprayed with all kinds of strange graffiti, even portraits of children. The residential area is inhabited by some unemployed vagrants or homeless people.
When two well-dressed people walked in, it was like a black and white world falling into two drops of colored ink.
The residents stared at them with wide eyes, not envy or yearning.
It's greed.
After walking in for a while, the middle-aged man couldn't stand the wolf-like eyes of this group of people, so he quickly found an excuse to leave. But Lao Liu did not flinch and continued to walk inside.
His brow furrowed.
People living in such places have basically no income, but if they want to adopt orphans, they must at least have a stable income.
But that's where Chen Xia's message is written.
Lao Liu decided to find out.
The residential building is a hollow-shaped structure, and Lao Liu came to the top floor and found No. 1590 in the southeast corner.
Lao Liu saw that the lock at the door was knocked on.
He turned his head to see that all the people on the floor were poking their heads out of the room.
It was dark, and the floors were even darker. The group's eyes were as bright as fluorescent lights.
It's as green as a wolf.
Lao Liu glanced at them and walked into the house with an indifferent expression.
It was a small two-bedroom house with a sunny day, but it was filthy, cluttered, and smelled of rancidity.
Lao Liu found that all the household items in the house were gone. The ground was littered with footprints.
Obviously, they were all moved.
But in any case, he already had a conclusion in his mind.
The people who live here can't adopt orphans at all!
Chen Xia's adoption information is wrong!
Lao Liu frowned, feeling a little incredible. Adoption information must be approved by the orphanage director and tested by the intelligent control system. Since Wu Bo has no financial ability, what happened to Chen Xia's adoption information?
"Are you looking for this?"
A voice suddenly sounded, Lao Liu turned his head, and saw a thin black figure standing at the door.
Lao Liu raised the mobile phone light and saw a man with a pockmarked face, holding a mechanical ball with a faintly visible word 'good' on it.
"Who are you?" Lao Liu asked, "What about the people who live here?" ”
"Hey, you want to know?" The pock-faced man smiled lewdly and stretched out a hand.
Lao Liu took out the only private money left in his pocket.
It's a bit of a pain.
When people reach middle and old age, it is not easy to save some private money. I wanted to buy some alcohol secretly.
The pock-faced man took the money, smiled proudly, and said mysteriously: "The people here, they're dead!" Does the monster that attacked the tram yesterday know? That's what Wu Bo changed! ”
"Really?" Lao Liu said in surprise.
"What a lie to you. I saw it with my own eyes. The pock-faced man bared his big yellow teeth and said, "The things in this room were also moved by me." ”
"What about Wu Bo's adopted daughter?" Lao Liu asked.
"Daughter?" The pock-faced man suddenly laughed, "This guy can't support himself, and he can still support his daughter by abducting and abducting his younger brother in the entertainment city?" It would be nice if he could find a woman in the red-light district! ”
"What about his brother?"
"I heard that he found a job outside the city, and it is estimated that he abandoned his drunkard brother." The pock-faced man said.
"Where did you get the ball in your hand?" Lao Liu pointed to the mechanical ball in the man's hand.
"Oh, this one." The pock-faced man smiled lewdly again, "Found it in this house." Do you want? ”
As he spoke, he held out his hand again.
Lao Liu dug out his empty pocket and sighed: "I don't want it, can I see if I can?" ”
"Something else, then." The pock-faced man smiled, "You tell me why you came here, and I'll give it to you." ”
"You know what's the use of this?" Lao Liu suddenly said vigilantly.
"Of course it works. You're the second person here. Maybe there are others. The man squinted.
"The second?"
Lao Liu was taken aback, "Who was the last person?" ”
"You don't have any money, don't say it, don't say it." The pock-faced man waved his hand and said, "If you don't talk about it, if you don't talk about it, I'll leave!" ”
"Okay, okay! I said," Lao Liu hurriedly called out to him, "I am a school teacher, and a student said that her family lives here." I'm here to visit. ”
"Home visits? Hey, home visits. The pockmarked man grinned and tossed the ball at him. Then turn around and leave.
Lao Liu caught the mechanical ball, looked at it carefully, and found that there was indeed a word 'good' written on it, and on the other side, there was also a 'Tang' written on it.
Shan Tang.
I remember that Chen Xia said that he was from the Shantang Orphanage.
Lao Liu frowned.
He recognized it as a seal.
I couldn't help but think in my heart: In other words, Chen Xia was not adopted, but secretly ran out by himself?
He put the ball away, kicked it in his pocket, and hurried out of the house.
In the corridor outside the house, there were many dark shadows standing, all looking this way. Their burning gaze was like they were going to eat Lao Liu.
Lao Liu finally felt a little uneasy, he quickly went downstairs, and then went straight to Yang Ming's house.
He was determined to figure out what the hell was going on!
