Chapter Eighty-Eight: Another Man Died
"Hey" Zhao Yuexin nodded with satisfaction, the more she looked at Ertong, the more pleasing she felt, and suddenly she glanced out of the door and asked Ertong: "Ertong!" What about your family? Why didn't you see them come to visit you in the hospital? ”
Xu Ertong smiled at Zhao Yuexin: "My family is still abroad, and now I am the only one at home." ”
When Zhao Yuexin heard that Ertong's family had gone abroad, she immediately felt pity for him, and then her eyes suddenly lit up, aren't people who can go abroad rich.
Suddenly, she asked Ertong with concern: "Ertong, where do you live?"
Ertong tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said, "A relatively remote small village, it seems to be called Celebrity Villa." ”
"Ah" Zhao Yuexin was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but glance at her husband.
Isn't that exactly where the richest people in Minghai City live, how can it be a small village in the middle of nowhere?
Zhao Yuexin suddenly had a strange idea, if she could have a good relationship with Ertong, maybe she wouldn't have to work so hard in the future. Thinking about it, she glanced at her daughter beside her again.
Li Xin suddenly turned her face and glanced at her mother, and couldn't help blinking her eyes and asked curiously, "Mom!" What do you mean by looking at me like that. ”
Li Xin thought innocently, and she didn't know that her mother was beating her attention.
"Ah, it's okay, I just want to see if my daughter grows up." Zhao Yuexin looked at her daughter with a smile, suddenly turned her face and looked at Ertong: "Ertong has time to come to my house for dinner, my skills are even better than ordinary chefs."
"Really!" Xu Ertong said with a smile, in fact, he already knew what Zhao Yuexin's idea was, but he didn't say anything, after all, no one could say what happened in the future.
Suddenly, he saw that it was dark outside the window, and hurriedly asked Li Xin. "Li Xin, what time is it?"
Li Xin asked her mother beside her again: "Mom! What time is it. ”
Zhao Yuexin took out her mobile phone and glanced at the time: "It's already past nine o'clock in the evening." ”
As her words fell.
Xu Ertong suddenly lifted the quilt wrapped around his body: "Oh no, I have to go home quickly." ”
Zhao Yuexin suddenly looked at her husband beside her: "Li Minghao, or!" Let's send Ertong home first. ”
Li Minghao nodded, and then looked at Ertong suspiciously: "Ertong, is your body really okay?" Or stay in the hospital for a day? ”
Xu Ertong put on his shoes and stood up, and then said to Li Minghao: "No need Uncle Li, the doctor should have told you, I'm just malnourished." ”
Li Minghao looked at Ertong in some surprise, the doctor did tell him so.
Xu Ertong picked up his schoolbag and carried it on his back, and suddenly thought of an important thing.
"Li Xin! I asked you to do me a favor, did you do it? ”
Hearing this, Li Xin pointed to Ertong's backpack and said, "Oh! I've got you in your backpack. ”
"Good! Thanks, Li Xin. Xu Ertong smiled and nodded.
"It's nothing, everyone is a classmate." As she spoke, Li Xin's face turned red involuntarily.
"Alas! It looks like we're all getting old. Zhao Yuexin suddenly sighed, and she didn't know why she sighed.
Li Minghao pulled his wife and motioned her to say less.
Walked out of the ward, paid the medical bills, and left the hospital together.
Outside, it was night, and there were shadows of the night everywhere.
Suddenly, Zhao Yuexin lowered her head and pillowed on her husband's arms, with a happy smile on her face.
"Actually, when I saw Ertong at a glance, I felt that he was very peculiar, especially his eyes, which were full of light and seemed to give people a sense of security."
Li Minghao nodded, although he rarely spoke in the audience, he could also see that Ertong was a peculiar child, less than ten years old, with a height of more than one meter six, a head taller than his peers, and when he spoke, he spoke maturely, giving people a feeling of youth and old age.
"I know he has bright eyes that can tell the difference between black and white." Li Minghao said, hugging his wife tighter.
The two of them were whispering, but they were greeted with an envious look.
Xu Ertong looked at Li Xin's parents and said to Li Xin beside him: "I really envy you for having such a good family." ”
"Ertong, why do you say this, isn't your home like this?" Li Xin stared at him with a strange wink.
Xu Ertong shook his head and didn't answer Li Xin's question, he had a strange feeling, maybe it was because he had experienced too much that he would have the mood he was in now.
Emptiness and loneliness.
For most children, having their parents may be regarded as having a complete childhood, but Ertong is different, he has lost his father since he was a child, and he doesn't know what fatherly love is.
Later, he has been living with his mother, originally he thought that he could live with his mother until his old age, but unexpectedly, an accident changed his fate, his mother died, left him, to find his father, after that, he felt very lonely, but when he thought of Brother Xu Ran, he felt extremely lucky, it was Brother Xu Ran who saved him with his own life, and now the meaning of his life is only to hope that Brother Xu Ran can return safely.
So he wants to make himself stronger and become the same as Brother Xu Ran, not only has a superior IQ, but also has some attainments in martial arts. In that way, he will have the ability to help Sister Jing and Sister Ying find Brother Xu Ran.
The night is getting deeper, no one is talking in the car, the road is very quiet, especially the road leading to the celebrity villa, countless pines and cypresses are swaying in the wind, and a series of sounds are coming, which is both so lively and so lonely.
The car stopped slowly, Xu Ertong said goodbye to Li Xin's family, and walked to where he lived.
Celebrity Villa, as the name suggests, is a place that the wealthy dream of, where they can not only show off their financial resources, but also highlight their ability to reach the sky.
Although it is an iconic place, there are very few people living here, and the surrounding houses are pitch black and gorgeous, but they look so bleak.
The street lamp shines brightly, although it is very bright, but it does not illuminate the shadow of people, the darkness may be very lonely, but you can't see your own figure, it will be even more lonely.
Xu Ertong took out the key from his backpack, inserted it into the keyhole, pushed the door open, and turned on the light, everything was still so peaceful and comfortable.
A row of picture frames hangs on the wall of the living room, exuding the atmosphere of calligraphy and art, Van Gogh's paintings, although they are very simple, but they paint the wisdom of human beings, the wonderful starry sky. Qi Baishi's paintings, although the color is single, give people a vivid feeling.
Xu Ertong looked at everything he was familiar with, and suddenly shed a tear, this was the only thing Xu Ran left before he disappeared, his product, his memory. It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't encountered anything sad.
He looked at a painting on it, and suddenly remembered his mother, virtuous and generous, and when he smiled, he was caring and loving for himself, and suddenly he saw the things placed on the table, and couldn't help but think of Xu Ran, the brother who disappeared into the world for an answer.
"Brother! Where exactly will you be? ”
He threw his backpack on the sofa, wiped the tears falling from the corners of his eyes with his fingers, and a trace of cold tentacles suddenly awakened the hope in his heart.
That piece of paper, Li Xin had already helped put in his backpack, it was a piece of paper stained with oil stains, on which were written clues, conspiracies, and unknown answers.
Why do oil stains appear on the railing, for anti-corrosion, it is definitely not, because those are stainless steel materials, even if they are placed for a hundred years, a thousand years, they will still be like that, and they will never decay. That just shows that those oil stains were deliberately smeared on purpose.
Who will paint it, the property management of the community, judging from the situation of them picking the door, it will definitely not be them, there is only one possibility, it was the murderer who painted it on it.
took out the white paper that was folded into a box, and slowly opened it with his fingers, and the smell of engine oil came to his nose. Xu Ertong twisted a little with his fingers, and felt that the tentacles were very smooth, like the engine oil of a car.
But he didn't understand this after all, and he didn't twist it to know that it was the engine oil that was suitable for that model.
With a hint of helplessness, he had no choice but to put away the piece of paper, and could only wait for tomorrow to go to the old master Chen of the nearby car repair shop, maybe he knew what kind of engine oil it was.
After taking a shower, Xu Ertong lay on the bed, thinking about the illusion he saw with the Soul Sync, and couldn't help but chill all over his body, that dream was really terrible, especially that eye, which seemed to have a bewildering magic, as long as he was stared at by it, he couldn't help but be controlled by it, if it wasn't for Li Xin pulling him hard at that time, it is estimated that he would have jumped down, where would there be Xu Ertong who is now lying comfortably on the bed.
Thinking about it, he sat up, stood up and walked over to the computer desk next to him, and pressed the power button. The monitor flashed into the system, and he was looking for strange anecdotes that had something for his eyes.
Tianya Forum is one of the largest forums in China, and there are many strange posts in it, and there are strange things at home and abroad.
Xu Ertong tried to type the word eye in the search bar, and the answers he could get were all disappointments, basically some common sense, such as protecting the eyes, why the baby's eyes keep blinking, and how magical the eyes of some girls in a certain country are, in short, the information he wants has nothing.
It seems that it is impossible to find it on the Internet.
Xu Ertong closed the computer with a slight disappointment, lay on the bed, turned off the light, and didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep.
Nothing was said all night.
The sky was dark, Xu Ertong woke up at six o'clock, he got up and brushed his teeth, made a breakfast, after eating, turned on the TV, it was just the time for the morning news broadcast, the hostess's crisp voice was loud and beautiful, and after introducing her name, she began to broadcast the first news.
"At more than three o'clock in the morning today, according to the police of nearby residents, a female corpse was found near Yanshan Bridge, and after an overnight police investigation, it was found that the woman suffered from severe sleepwalking and died by accidentally falling from the building."
Then the picture turned, and a male reporter appeared inside, he stood in front of a building and said: "Good morning to the audience friends in front of the TV, I am Xie Qiu, a reporter from Minghai City TV Station, according to nearby residents, the deceased fell directly from the top of this building." ”
Different scenes, the same accident, Xu Ertong saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, the murderer was too clever, the murder left no trace at all, and the police couldn't find out the possibility that he killed him.
Turning off the TV, Xu Ertong glanced at the time, it was already more than seven o'clock, and it was less than an hour before the class time, he hurriedly picked up his schoolbag and ran out, just arrived at the platform, and the bus happened to stop in front of him.
He got into the car, and as the car moved, he couldn't help but recall what the reporter said, sleepwalking accidentally fell from the building and died, which seems too much of a coincidence, one person jumped off the building yesterday, and someone jumped off the building today, if it was an accident this time, he would not believe it. Because he seems to smell the breath of a murderer, he committed the crime not by accident but with a purpose.
After thinking about it, suddenly the door opened, and the school platform had arrived, but he didn't get off the train, but chose to get off directly on Yanshan Street.
