Just as I was about to light a cigarette to kill my boredom, my phone rang again.

It was Bai Qiu who called.

Bai Qiu said that he was on his way to pull guests at this time, and when he was chatting with guests, he suddenly remembered something in his mind.

He apologized on the phone, saying that he was old and sometimes his brain was not very useful.

He said he remembered the days when he was kidnapped by the clown, and there was a clue that he didn't know if it would be useful to the police.

He remembers that in those days, he had been locked up in a bathroom, but sometimes, he could still hear the voices outside.

One day, there was a knock on the door, and the man who came was very loud.

He said that he was a gas meter reader, and his voice was particularly professional and polite.

Bai Qiu got to the point, he said that when the man introduced himself to the clown, he said that he was the No. 5 meter reader who came to read the gas meter.

It didn't take much time to read the gas meter, and it wasn't long before I heard the sound of the door closing outside.

At the end of the phone call, Bai Qiu said that the destination of the guest he pulled was not far from the Chenglou Branch, and fifteen minutes later, he came to the police station to explain in detail.

In the conference room of the Chenglou Branch, Yi Tian saw Bai Qiu, and he hadn't seen him for two weeks, but he looked good.

Speaking of the gas meter reader, Yi Tian had already told Liu Xing the news, and then he only needed to find the No. 5 meter reader, and then according to the area that the No. 5 meter reader was responsible for, it would be much easier to find the clown's residence.

Yi Tian poured Bai Qiu a glass of water and put it in front of him, Bai Qiu's face was unnatural, and he raised the thermos cup in his hand, saying that he had brought water himself.

He said that as a taxi driver, you can try not to drink water as much as possible, after all, sometimes it is not easy to go to the toilet.

There was a brief silence in the inquiry room, and in the autumn of Bai Qiu, Yi Tian felt that he had to look at him differently.

He sat across from Bai Qiu, and stretched his voice as majestic as possible.

"Mr. Bai, tell me the truth, did you already know that the person who kidnapped you was Bai Jie, one of the twin brothers you were familiar with when you were a child?"

Bai Autumn's white face turned red in an instant.

"No, no, I don't know."

He didn't expect Yi Tian to ask such a question, and his voice stammered, which confirmed Yi Tian's thoughts even more.

"People are in a state of high mental tension during the kidnapping, and I don't believe you will forget such important information from the gas meter reader. At that time, you even remembered the voice of a woman in the room very clearly, but you missed the information of such a useful person, but it took two weeks to remember, do you think I would believe you are telling the truth? ”

Bai Qiu was silent for a long time, during which his daughter-in-law called him and asked him when he would come home for dinner.

After answering the phone, he took a few more sips of water.

He said:

Yes, I'm sorry, it's my fault. Actually, I was locked up in the bathroom for a week, and at first I didn't know that he was Bai Jie, the little boy who followed me more than 30 years ago and called my brother.

Until that day, when I woke up in the Straw Hat Mountain Cemetery, Bai Jie was standing in front of that tomb, and the name on the tombstone was familiar to me, Bai Lang. One of the twin brothers, he came to F City to look for me ten years ago, and when he left, he secretly put the bag containing 200,000 yuan on the sofa in my house.

I called Bai Lang and said that although I was poor, I couldn't ask for his money. He told me on the phone that I was his only relative in this world, his own brother.

When he said this, he cried on the other end of the phone, crying for me to satisfy such a small wish of his, to make him feel that he still has relatives in this world, not a fluctuating duckweed.

That phone call that day made me cry too, this is the voice of us orphans, we long for the flesh and blood affection that others have, those family affection that is the most ordinary for others, but in our eyes we can't ask for it.

So I especially understand Bai Lang's feelings, I said that I accepted the 200,000, and it was his brother Bai Qiu who accepted it.

At that time, my family lived in a crowded house, with two adults and two school-going children.

The money I rent is only enough for our normal life, and there is no extra money to improve our living conditions.

Before Bai Lang came to me, I didn't have any more luxuries in life.

Although the life is very poor, I am very satisfied, I have experienced the family life of a normal person, with a virtuous wife, and sensible and obedient children, no matter how hard and tired I feel, it is worth it.

I accepted Bai Lang's 200,000 yuan, and I think I should make my family live a better life.

I used the money to buy a two-bedroom house, and our family lived a little more decently.

With this house, I have a real home in F City.

Bai Lang, he is a brother in my heart.

Later, he called me again and said that he had found Bai Jie, the twin brother.

He was excited on the phone, saying that his brother was excellent and a great pianist.

I am really happy for the lovely pair of brothers who were so cute back then and now they are both successful in their careers.

Bai Lang said, take Bai Jie to see me when you have time.

But after that, he never called me again, and I called to send him some souvenirs from my hometown, but the number was empty.

In this world, what I consider my dearest brother came into my life in a hurry and disappeared into my life in a hurry.

When I saw him again, he was lying quietly in the cold cemetery.

I'm sad, I wonder why is God so unfair? He is still so young and so good-looking, he should marry a wife and have children in this world and live the happiest life.

I cried at the grave, crying that the world is so kind to us people, we don't ask for much, only health and happiness, but these gods are so stingy and refuse to give a little.

The unnamed cemetery next to Bai Lang, I had a bad premonition, and asked the clown, and he laughed, laughing.

He said: "Brother, this cemetery is for me, people who come to this world will eventually take that path, I just prepare myself in advance." Just imagine, if I were gone, who else in this world would prepare this cemetery for me? No one, except myself. In fact, you don't need to be sad at all, you should be glad that Bai Lang walked in front of me and walked in style, at least I collected his body. ”

He smiled very sadly, and I realized that he was actually Bai Jie.
