Chapter 15: Departure
"I always feel that this Mr. Zheng is very strange, although there is something wrong that can't be said, but ......" The words stuck in my throat, I looked at the two of them.
"You know." Reluctantly, looking at the blood on my hands, I felt that my instincts were right.
Pinching my bleeding fingers, I pushed the door open and walked out.
I don't know if it's my delusion, how do I feel that the temperature is several degrees lower. Turning back and forth several times: "Why are the servants gone?" ”
"Yang Xiuyuan, are you looking for me?"
Old man Zheng's cold face made me retreat, and I shook my injured index finger: "I was accidentally cut just now, and I wanted to ask the maid for a band-aid, but I couldn't find it." I scratched my head.
The originally tense face calmed down, and the smiling appearance returned to it: "They all left after cooking dinner at eight o'clock, and if there is anything in the future, come to my bedroom to find me." He pointed to the innermost bedroom.
"I'm right there, if you don't want to go, or call the landline. The landline in the room will automatically connect you to my bedroom by pressing 1. ”
A few moments later, he took a Band-Aid and handed it to me.
"Aren't Mrs. and Ling Gongzi here?" I said it as if I had no intention of saying it.
"They were abroad, and I couldn't adapt to life abroad, so I came back to live for a while."
"Oh~" I put the band-aid on it, "That bothers you, Mr. Zheng." I nodded calmly and turned to walk towards the room.
I ignored Pei and walked directly to Uncle Zhao's side. "There's something wrong with this guy." I glared hard at Pei, then pointed to the closed door. Pei looked out from the cat's eye a little helplessly, then shook his head, and then he also sat next to the two of us.
"How do you know there's something wrong with him?" Uncle Zhao smiled a little indifferently.
"Look at the door." Pointing to the door of the guest room, it was a stain of dirt.
"If my memory is correct, I remember that there is a concrete road from his villa to a radius of about four kilometers, except for the dirt near the highway quickly." There was mud under his feet, and it was still lumpy.
"That doesn't prove that there's something wrong with him."
He pulled a piece of paper out of his coat pocket. Hand it to Uncle Pei, "This is the maid's purchase record in the past three months." ”
Pei looked at me incredulously, as if questioning the origin of my paper.
"When he took my band-aid, I saw it on the table." I shrugged.
"Alright, let's talk about it tomorrow." Uncle Zhao suddenly spoke.
"Uncle Zhao, you go to rest first, Xiaoyuan is not sensible, don't worry too much about him." Glaring at me, Pei sent Uncle Zhao out.
"You must think it's weird. Pei sat down, Uncle Zhao adopted me when I was very young, and for as long as I can remember, he was always fond of alcohol. Later, it was this Mr. Zheng, who sent Li Wen over, and he stopped drinking. We always say that Li Wen is actually Uncle Zhao's illegitimate son, which is why he is so good to him. ”
No one knows the specific reason, but in fact, they all clear their hearts, Li Wen can't be Uncle Zhao's son.
Looking at the jerky smile on the corner of Pei's mouth, I always thought he was Uncle Zhao's son, but I didn't expect that he was just an adopted son.
Pei paused, didn't continue, his eyes were a little fluttering, I couldn't help but admire Pei a little.
Thinking of Uncle Zhao, I can't help but have a bold idea, will it be a game set by Uncle Zhao from the beginning. Why did the police catch up when they went and didn't follow them when they left, why did they never question themselves from beginning to end.
Uncle Zhao did not take back the bracelet that he took out in the tomb, but what Li Wen and the others stole was returned by him intact.
Why exactly? I thought I had torn apart the truth, but I didn't expect the bigger mystery to emerge.
Pei, could it be an undercover agent sent by Uncle Zhao?
"What's wrong?"
"No, I'm tired, go to bed first."
Slowly and long nights, there is always something that can't help but stir.
"He seems to have discovered something recently, what should he do if he doesn't play cards according to the routine?"
"Don't act rashly just yet."
"So what's next?"
Nights are always the fastest, and lying in bed, I feel that my bones are soft.
turned his head sideways to look around, but saw that Pei's bed had already been neatly tied.
"Let's go around and find out the wind first. Xiaoyuan is here, sit down, eat something to cushion your stomach first, and wait for us to visit around. "Uncle Zhao is still like that, feeling like nothing happened yesterday.
"Xiaoyuan recently... It was an eye-opener for me, maybe you'll be the one who lives the longest. "For some reason, listening to Li Wen's words, I always have a sense of ambiguity.
I sat down and didn't answer Li Wen, this kid just kicked his nose in the face, and I didn't want to entangle with him too much.
"No, Xiaoyuan, why are you like a girl, holding a grudge like this."
"You two?"
Before Pei finished speaking, Li Wen suddenly hooked my neck, looking like a good brother.
"It's okay, didn't I take him to pick things up without permission last time, and I was angry."
I smirked and shook his arm away.
It's not a big deal to think about it, and Li Wen has also settled down a lot these days, so he is tired of trying to find a way to solve him.
This boredom and tiredness are now more and more obvious, and they don't bother to say anything to him, as if it is a waste of their saliva to say more. Originally, it was unclear that I had joined, and I really had nowhere to go, so I made this choice in order to prevent sleeping on the streets.
In the absurd past few days, I haven't thought about escaping. But when he thought that after he left, he would either sleep on the streets or starve to death, so he flinched.
I was in the middle of my mind when I suddenly heard someone talking about it. As soon as I raised my eyes here, I saw Uncle Li taking a bag of things from Old Man Zheng's hand.
I was stunned for a moment, sighed in my heart, and when I looked up, Pei waved at me.
Putting down the bowl that was already empty in his hand, "You take these." ”
I was silent for a moment, then took it from him, opened the bag and looked at it, it was full of dry food.
Old man Zheng put down the wine glass and turned his head to look at me: "Young man, follow your Uncle Zhao to do a good job." ”
There are really everyone, how can anyone encourage others to dig people's graves.
He looked at Uncle Zhao again, and said slowly: "Brother, I won't give it away, I hope you cherish it." ”
Looking at them as if they were parting from life and death, even I felt like they were gone forever.
The roots of my teeth are sore, and I looked at Pei meaningfully, "My head hurts, go out and breathe, you guys hurry up." ”
I don't know the twists and turns between Uncle Zhao and Old Man Zheng, but I always feel that they both belong to the kind of people who are very scheming, and the relationship should not be so close.
