When the truck master brought the bed back to the shop where it was sold, the owner looked nervous, and I knew he was afraid that I would return it suddenly.

I simply explained that there was something temporary today, and I would pull it again tomorrow, and the boss was grateful for a handful of snot and tears, and he carried the bed off the car alone.

Twenty minutes later, Brother Chao arrived, during which Li Xiaomeng sent me three WeChat messages, all of which wanted to confirm that I was not at home, and I told her to reassure her.

I didn't let Brother Chao get out of the taxi, I got in the car directly and continued to move forward with him, found a restaurant a little away from my new home, and after ordering the food, I told Brother Chao about what had just happened.

After hearing this, Brother Chao said with a wicked smile: "Okay, you kid, you can pit Li Xiaomeng this time." ”

I took a sip of beer and said, "me?" By the way, I have time to make an appointment with Wang Yang when I go back, thank you for the news. Brother Chao said: "Wait for the limelight, if you want to make an appointment in the past two days, Zhu Bajie will definitely be suspicious." ”

Talking Li Xiaomeng's WeChat is here again, this time the content is different: Brother Qian, where are you?

I handed the phone to Brother Chao, who looked at it and said, "It seems that Zhu Bajie has arrived at your new home and didn't find you, so I asked Li Xiaomeng to ask this." I said, "Nine times out of ten, come, do it." ”

Brother Chao handed me back the phone, I put it aside casually, and toasted with Brother Chao and drank the wine in the glass.

It's cozy... Imagining Zhu Bajie's crazy virtue outside my door, I was inexplicably a little excited.

Li Xiaomeng's WeChat became more and more frequent, but I didn't reply to her again, and after sending four messages in a minute without getting a response, she finally called me.

I didn't answer, I didn't hang up, and let my phone ring.

Five minutes later, the phone rang again, this time showing an unfamiliar local number, I thought about it and picked it up, and the voice of a strange man on the other end of the phone was a strong accent: "Are you surnamed Zhao?" ”

I said, "Ah, it's expensive, my surname is Zhao, who are you?" The other side said, "You don't care who I am, and I'll tell you that you have offended people, do you know?" Today, you are a big boy, let me tell you, I will see you in Marina City in the future, and I will cut you once, do you know? Lao Tzu has killed people in his hometown, do you know? ”

I said, "I know you're paralyzed, who are you?" The surname Pig is not next to you, let him answer the phone! ”

The other side was obviously stunned, and after a few seconds of silence, Zhu Bajie's voice came from the earpiece: "Xiao Zhao, smart, you can guess that it is your Brother Zhu." ”

I smiled and said, "Hehe, that's, who is Brother Zhu?" Where are you? Zhu Bajie said: "Okay, Ming people don't say dark words, you are lucky today, but you remember for me, the person who dares to beat me is either not born yet, or has died, you will not be an exception, you have avoided the first day of junior high school, have you escaped over fifteen?" ”

I said, "How do you say that you are like a great aunt?" If I had known in advance when you were looking for me, maybe I would have gotten away with it, wouldn't I? Like today. ”

The voice on the other side was a little noisy, and there was a faint echo when I spoke, and from time to time there was the sound of the door opening and closing, and it sounded like Zhu Bajie and they were in the corridor outside my new home.

Zhu Bajie continued: "Hmph, then I advise you to move quickly, to a place where I can't find you, as long as you still live here, Lao Tzu promises to come every day, and let you turn over every day!" ”

Suddenly, a heavy door slam rang on the other end of the phone, followed by an unfamiliar voice: "Hey! Who are you? What for?! ”

The voice was unfamiliar, with a hint of sharpness in the tone, and after a brief noise, Zhu Bajie said: "Oh, it's okay, come and find a friend..."

At this point, Zhu Bajie suddenly hung up the phone, and only "beep... Busy tone...".

Brother Chao asked suspiciously: "Yes... Who? Are you neighbors? ”

I said, "I'm 1302, I've only seen 1303 in the past two days, and I've never seen the other two households on my floor, 1301 and 1304, and I haven't seen that voice just now... Haven't heard of it. ”

Brother Chao thought for a while and said, "Call the police, nine times out of ten it is your neighbor, don't make another mistake and hurt the innocent, it's not good." ”

I thought about it and nodded, dialing 110...

I called the police in the name of someone coming to make trouble, but after that, I still didn't feel at ease, and after thinking about it, I decided to go back with Brother Chao to see the situation.

I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid of hurting my neighbors who have nothing to do with it.

Take a taxi back to the entrance of the community, and you can't see anything wrong in the night. Brother Chao and I trotted straight to the unit where I lived and took the elevator up to the thirteenth floor.

The moment the elevator door opened, my somewhat nervous mood was instantly replaced by a circle of confusion.

Huh? Why is there no one?

The elevator is a small open space of a few square meters, a few steps to the left hand side of the open space is a wooden door, behind the door a narrow corridor, the main entrance of our four families on the first floor is in this corridor.

Brother Chao and I turned into the corridor and saw that there was still no one, not only was there no one, but there was no sign of anyone on the ground, it was very clean, and there were no footprints.

We both looked at each other, and we both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

I didn't stop long, I just took the key to open the door of my house, and when I opened the door, I also looked at it, and there were no marks of bumps on the door.

Brother Chao followed me into the room, I looked around, everything was normal, exactly the same as when I left during the day.

"Taken away by the police? I didn't see any signs of a police car coming downstairs..."I muttered to myself. Brother Chao said, "Ask the neighbors." I nodded and said, "I'll go myself." ”

After speaking, I went out, walked to Lao Wang's door and looked at my phone, the time displayed on it was less than eight o'clock, not too late.

"Bang Bang..."

I knocked on Lao Wang's door, waited for a while, no one, I knocked again, still no one opened the door, but there seemed to be a voice behind the door.

I put my ears a little bit forward... No, it's the sound of a quarrel, although I can't hear what the specific content is, but judging from the tone, it should be a quarrel, yes, it sounds... It's like a man and a woman, Lao Wang is quarreling with his daughter-in-law?

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and I was hit on the forehead by the door unsuspectingly.

This position on my forehead happened to be injured during a fight with Zhu Bajie, and this time I hit it squarely, almost fainting from the pain.

After a few seconds, I put down the hand covering my forehead, raised my head and shook my head, and saw an indifferent face, it was Lao Wang.

The first time I saw this kind of expression on Lao Wang's face, the previous two times we met, he was smiling humbly to the point of almost obsceneness, and for a while, I almost thought that I had recognized the wrong person.

"What's the matter with you?" Lao Wang's tone was as cold as if the refrigerator was not closed.

I coughed lightly to hide my embarrassment and said, "Ahem, what, Brother Wang, did someone come to my house just now?" Lao Wang said: "I don't know, I haven't gone out at home, I haven't heard any movement, is there anything else?" ”

Lao Wang's tone was really unpleasant, and since he said so, I had to shrug my shoulders and say, "It's okay, I'm sorry to disturb." ”

After saying that, I turned around and walked back, Lao Wang's door closed heavily behind me, "bang", startled me, looked back, I was a little unhappy and muttered: "Neurotic?" ”

When I returned to the room, I told Brother Chao what had happened, and Brother Chao said, "Can't you?" Last time, we were here across a wall and could quarrel with him, Zhu Bajie's movement just now was not small, he couldn't hear it? ”

I said, "Who knows, if he says that he doesn't let us quarrel for his wife's sake, won't he still quarrel with his wife?" This person is really..."Brother Chao said: "Is it that he is in a bad mood because he quarreled with his wife, so he just said nonsense?" ”

I thought about it, and there was also this possibility, so I said to Brother Chao: "Regardless of him, I'll go downstairs and ask the doorman to see if Zhu Bajie was taken away by the police." Brother Chao said, "Let's take a piece." ”

I nodded and went downstairs again with Brother Chao.

This is the first time I have dealt with this man in charge of the gatekeeper, I didn't pay much attention during the day, but at night, I could see him sitting in the guard box with the light on the door.

If you pass by here in the middle of the night, you must be scared by him.

With the help of the street lamp, I saw the silhouette of the doorman in the sentry box, knocked on the door a few times, the doorman stood up and opened the door of the sentry box with one hand, but did not come out, only stepped out of one foot and asked me, "What is the matter?" ”

His voice was the same as Lao Wang's cold just now, and on this short-sleeved summer night, his tone actually gave me goosebumps.

I still couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, so I asked as politely as possible: "Hello uncle, have any police officers come to our community today?" ”

Without pause, the doorman replied, "No." ”

I was a little surprised, and asked again: "Is there a big fat man who came to our community with a few people and left after a while?" The doorman replied again, "I don't know." ”

I said, "Don't you see?" The doorman said, "I didn't pay attention." ”

I still wanted to ask something, but Brother Chao dragged me, I looked back at Brother Chao, and he said to the doorman, "Uncle, excuse me." With that, he dragged me out of the door.

As we walked, I asked him, "What are you doing?" Brother Chao said: "People say they don't see it, I guess Zhu Bajie will definitely not go to the front door if he comes to you, after all, the cost of fighting is quite high now, and if you lose the battle, you will be hospitalized and go to jail." ”

I said, "What do you mean?" Brother Chao pointed to the back door of the community corresponding to the main entrance, "Maybe they came in from that end, and there are no doormen over there." ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "What about the police?" If you want to enter the community, you can only enter the police car through the main entrance. Brother Chao said, "Are you blind? Doesn't this community have its own community police station? ”

After speaking, Brother Chao also pointed to the community police station with only one office, built next to the property office, and I said, "Are you blind?" Didn't you see that the lights were dark there? People get off work on time at six o'clock, and the police must be from outside. ”

Brother Chao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I don't know, forget it, why don't we go back first?" I said, "What's the hurry, why don't we go and have a look at the back?" I haven't seen what the back of the neighborhood looks like since I moved in. ”

Brother Chao agreed indifferently, and thoughtfully followed me towards the back of the community.

This is a straight road, the main gate to the back door, vertically cut the four buildings in half, the main gate has a gate, the back door also has a gate, but the back door is just a decoration, and no one is guarding.

Brother Chao and I walked out of the community through the back door and looked at the surrounding environment.

There's nothing special here, like most ordinary living quarters, there are some shops that have closed, but I don't know if it's because it's too early, and there's a different kind of desolation around.

After walking for a while, Brother Chao always seemed to be thinking about something, I looked at him and asked, "Brother Chao, what's wrong with you?" Brother Chao said, "You say... Zhu Bajie can't be in the wrong place, right? ”

I said, "What do you mean?" Brother Chao said, "There is no trace of him coming." ”

I was also a little puzzled, but when I thought of Li Xiaomeng, who had been a spy for Zhu Bajie many times, I said, "Can't you?" It's not hard to find, and... And with Li Xiaomeng helping him keep an eye on it, maybe the police took people away, or Zhu Bajie didn't wait for me to leave by himself, right? ”

Brother Chao shook his head and said, "I don't know, I always feel that something is wrong." I said, "You're thinking too much, aren't you?" What's wrong? Brother Chao thought about it and smiled a little self-deprecatingly and said, "Yes, maybe I'm thinking too much, what's the matter, let's go back?" ”

I was also a little sleepy, so I nodded yes and returned to my residence with Brother Chao.

All the way back to the door of my residence, Brother Chao suddenly said: "By the way, I remembered, Zhu Bajie is a big smoker, if he really came to you just now, it would be impossible for him not to smoke a cigarette for half a day, and he is the kind of person who throws cigarette butts anytime and anywhere, there is not a single cigarette butt in the corridor outside your door, and there is a chance that Zhu Bajie is really in the wrong place." ”

Although I think it's a little unlikely, what Brother Chao said seems to make sense, I think, maybe Zhu Bajie is really in the wrong place, right?
