Chapter 72: No Life to Live
Aunt Nanny looked at the thing in my hand intently, as if she didn't see it clearly, she fiddled with it with her hand again, "What is this?" Why do they look a bit like eyeballs? ”
I put it on my glove and looked at it for a while, and nine times out of ten it was a real eyeball.
"Call the police." I've been through so much, but I can barely keep my composure.
When the nanny heard this, she immediately withdrew her hand and asked, "Is this really an eyeball?" Zhou Zhou, have you offended someone? Do you need me to call Mr. Xu? ”
After all, she was just an ordinary woman, and the first time she encountered this kind of scene, she was at a loss.
"Call the police first, and then call Xu Yijin later." I put things back in the box and removed the gloves.
She hurriedly went to call, gave a general introduction to the situation, gave the other party an address, hung up, and continued to call Xu Yijin.
After being busy with the sound for a long time, she glanced at me and said hesitantly, "Mr. Xu didn't answer, do you want to dial another one?" Or ask Mr. Zhang? ”
"Maybe they're busy, don't bother them just yet." I say.
The nanny glanced at the things on the coffee table again, her face was not very good-looking, but she was also very knowledgeable and didn't say much, turned around and went to the kitchen to continue making dinner.
When the meal was ready, she placed large and small bowls on the table.
At this time, the doorbell rang, and she went to open the door, and there were two or three men in patrol uniforms standing at the door.
The one who took the lead was Officer Lu, who took over my case last time.
"Come in." The nanny found them a few pairs of slippers and greeted them.
After Officer Lu came in, he looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the coffee table, he wore white gloves, picked up the box on the coffee table and looked at it.
He didn't go directly to get the contents of the box, but looked at it with his eyes, and after a long time, handed it to the little police officer next to him, and said, "Take this back to the bureau." ”
The little police officer took it, pinched it with his gloved fingers and looked at it for a long time, his face changed slightly, "Uncle Lu, this is a living person's eyeball, the case of the last broken finger has not been solved, and now it is like this again." I suspect that it wasn't done by people at all, that there was something unclean. ”
"Shut up." Officer Lu waved his hand, sat down on the sofa by himself, looked at me, and said, "Moved?" ”
I nodded, sat down at the table, added a bowl of rice to myself, and asked, "Have you all eaten dinner?" Would you like a bowl? ”
Officer Lu shook his head and said, "After that day, your mobile phone number was suddenly unreachable, and you couldn't find anyone in the place where you lived, can you explain?" ”
"Something happened to me in the past few days, I left in a hurry, and my phone was left in the rental house." I gave him my new mobile phone number.
After that, I started to eat with vegetables, and when they asked me anything, I answered them truthfully.
Officer Lu's knuckles tapped on his thigh, and he suddenly asked me, "You are a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, you have not graduated from college, why are you not afraid at all when you encounter these things?" ”
He scrutinized me.
I froze in my pick-and-roll movements, knowing in my heart that his doubts about me had not been dispelled.
The nanny glanced at me, her face turned blue and said, "Officer, how can our young lady not be afraid?" You don't know that her arm was shaking all the time when she first found out. ”
"Yes." Officer Lu looked at me meaninglessly.
Fortunately, he didn't target me, made some more notes, retrieved surveillance and some other materials, and left with someone.
It was already dark at this time, I was a little tired, I went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when I came out, I saw that the living room light was still on, so I went to take a look.
The nanny aunt was still sitting on the sofa and didn't leave, and I asked, "It's already dark, aren't you going home?" ”
In the past, she would usually come over to cook three meals a day, and leave when she was done, which was relatively easy in time.
Never before has it been so late.
"You are a girl, you must be scared when you see this kind of scene today, Mr. Xu has not been home for several days. I thought if you didn't mind, I'd stay with you tonight and I'd sleep on the couch. She said.
My heart warmed, I smiled, and said, "Let's sleep in the guest room." ”
She nodded hurriedly, and after a while, she didn't know what she thought, and her smile froze on her face, "Zhou Zhou, that thing is weird and scary today, did you cause some trouble outside?" ”
I shook my head.
Seeing that I didn't want to say, she didn't ask much, obviously she was more scared than me, but she still insisted on comforting me a few words, and then went to the guest room to clean up the bedding.
I stood there for a while, my mind a little confused, and I was empty for a moment. Maybe I'm scared, maybe I'm too tired.
I took a deep breath and lifted my feet to get to the bedroom, when the sound of unlocking came from behind me. I looked back and saw that Xu Yijin happened to open the door and walked into the entrance to change his shoes.
"Have you had a guest?" He slowed for a few seconds as he changed his shoes, looking down at the shoes they had worn for Officer Lou earlier.
I let out an "um" and asked, "Why did you get back tonight?" ”
"As soon as the matter is settled, I will come back." Xu Yijin walked in and saw the nanny aunt who had just come out of the guest room.
The tail of his eyebrows raised imperceptibly, "Why are you still here so late?" ”
"Sir, you're back." Auntie told him everything that happened today.
After speaking, she said, "Since you are back, then I will go first." ”
Her family lives near here, and it's not too late at this point, and there are a lot of people on the street, so when she left, I didn't keep her.
It wasn't until there were only two people in the room, Xu Yijin and me, that he walked up to me, pulled up my sleeve, and took off the bracelet.
"Do what?" I looked at him.
"This thing is useless."
I looked at the bracelet with hindsight, and the beads became transparent at some point, and I couldn't see the slightest bit of red blood.
No wonder you receive that kind of delivery today.
It dawned on me.
The bracelet that I had been wearing for a long time was suddenly taken off, and my wrist was empty, and I was still a little unaccustomed to it for a while.
"Zhou Mingchuan, this kid is probably dead." When Xu Yijin said this, his face was expressionless, there was no ridicule, and there was no pity.
I paused for half a beat and looked up at him.
"Is he dead?"
I immediately remembered the old and old man in my mind.
Although I have only met once, I feel uncomfortable inexplicably.
No matter how you say it, it's a living human life.
Xu Yijin lowered his eyes and looked at the bracelet that was already transparent, and said, "If he hadn't taken his heart so frequently in the past few years, he might be able to live a few more years." ”
It's the first time I've seen him feel like that.
"Are you familiar with Zhou Mingchuan?" I just asked casually.
After all, one is a ghost and the other is a Taoist, no matter how you look at it, they are two incompatible existences.
