Chapter 144: Xiao Xin
But I was relieved in my heart - after some deception and nonsense, I actually made the matter come to a conclusion, which is really a victory of the "there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain" methodology.
I simply continued to be unrelenting: "We already know about Xiao Xin's living in the wall of the Kui family's house, and the reason why we still have to ask you for advice is because we think that child is pitiful, and we don't want to rush to tear down the house and hurt him." Now, if you don't say anything, then the police have to use normal means to investigate. ”
Uncle Zhu's eyes widened, as if he didn't understand how I could know so many things. I could tell he was trying to calm his emotions, he was silent, and he seemed to weigh the pros and cons.
I deliberately opened the net, did not continue to chase and fight, and waited for the other party to remove the psychological defense line and completely "confess".
He stretched out a hand, picked up the kettle from the side of the wheelchair, and drank as if to hide his nervousness, and then said slowly: "I can tell you the truth, but we must not demolish the Kui family's house, as soon as the house falls, we will be all finished."
Shen Yu and Lin Ying were also sitting in the room, Xiao Yu and Shi Chong also came in, Shi Chong's rhinitis seemed to be committed again, he leaned into the corner, hiding in the dark and wiping his nose intently.
I sat in front of Uncle Zhu, and the old man couldn't help but panic when he saw so many people.
"Don't hurt Xiao Xin, he's also a poor child." He sighed.
"How did he get here? Whose children are they? I asked.
Uncle Zhu raised his finger and pointed to the direction of the main house of the Kui family outside the window: "He is Yanxin's child." ”
Yan Xin? The eldest daughter of the Kui family? I suddenly had this idea, I remember that the canned brother said before that the eldest daughter of the Kui family disappeared later, is she still alive and gave birth to a child?
Xiao Yu suddenly showed a shocked expression, and she blurted out: "That Shang Weimin's corpse ......"
Lin Ying glared at her and motioned for her not to talk nonsense. Xiao Yu also knew that she was speechless, she stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
"Kui Yanxin didn't disappear at all, and the news that she went to the south was also spread by her father, right?" Shen Yu asked.
"Yes, Sheng Chuan also used her mobile phone to send text messages to friends, saying that she had gone out. At that time, she was running around, and no one cared where she would go. This is what Sheng Chuan told me later, our two neighbors have been neighbors for so many years, and I am alone, so I often help each other, and he likes to talk to me about something in his heart. ”
"Then didn't anyone say later that they had seen her in Weiyang?"
"I don't know much about this, she didn't have an accident in the first place, but she was locked up in the house by Sheng Chuan. So if she has the opportunity to go out, it's not impossible to go to the city to pack her things. ”
"Shut up at home? Can I understand that she was imprisoned by her father? ”
"It's not really, Sheng Chuan said, just to make her reflect and atone for her sins. At first, Sheng Chuan didn't know that she was pregnant, but later found out when her belly got bigger. As for who the child's father is, even Yanxin herself can't say clearly, but she just doesn't want to kill the child.
"Who knows, the child was born with a grimace - at that time, Sheng Chuan came to my house, howling and crying, he said, the Kui family is going to be finished, the ancestors of the Kui family have had an accident, and if they can't keep it, they will also suffer in the future. But Yanxin has been protecting the child, she named him Kui Zanxin, and we called him Xiaoxin.
But Sheng Chuan has always been haunted, and he repeatedly said that this kid is a disaster star, and he can't see the light. Fortunately, there were a lot of secret doors and secret passages in the Kui family's house, so he locked Yanxin and the child in the dark and didn't let the mother and son come out. ”
Uncle Zhu sighed and said: "Xiao Xin, this child has grown up slowly, in addition to his strange face, there seems to be a problem with his head, he can't speak, he can't think about things, and he is no different from a kitten or a puppy, and he can live if he gives something to his mouth."
"When I was three years old, my mother suddenly got colic, and she rolled in pain, and she died in a few moments. Sheng Chuan became more and more nervous, and he told me that he would not live long, because Xiao Xin, this kid, was too self-conscious. But after all, it is his own grandson, and he is reluctant to abandon it. After that, sure enough, two years later, Sheng Chuan also died.
"When Sheng Chuan was sick, he told me that although Xiao Xin was a disaster, he only treated his own family, and he asked me to help take care of the child, give him food and drink, and it was best not to let him out. He also said that it was estimated that sooner or later a great god would come down and take the child away.
"But Xiao Xin doesn't seem to be used to the outside, he is afraid of being scared, so he lives in the dark passage of the Kui family house most of the time, and sometimes he will run to my yard to touch something to eat. When I bought food, I always kept one on the windowsill in the courtyard, and when he came, I took it and ate it.
"However, this child has lived underground for a long time and is a little afraid of light, so most of them are active at night, and he doesn't go out of the yards of the two houses, and he hasn't been bumped into in the past two years."
"So, where is he hiding in the Kui family? In that dark passage we found earlier? Lin Ying said strangely.
The old man of the Zhu family shook his head and said, "The house of the Kui family is very weird, and I don't know much about the mechanism inside. However, Sheng Chuan told me seriously, he said that there is something hidden under the Kui family's house, and if that thing is moved, the entire Yuntang Town and the entire Weiyang will be unlucky.
"So you have to be careful. And Xiao Xin, although this kid is ugly and stupid, he is not a bad person, I also don't look at him like a disaster, I have been fine next to him for so many years, don't hurt him. ”
"Don't worry, the child is also a child no matter what he looks like, our police will definitely protect him, and when we find him, we will send him to a welfare institution to take good care of him, and we can't let this child spend his life in a dark place, right?"
"Yes, if others don't dislike this child, he can have a good home, and I can rest assured." Uncle Zhu burst into tears as he spoke.
Let's appease Uncle Zhu well, and then we will leave. The noon sun outside is just right, it seems that the secret of the Kui family's old house can be revealed today, and now what we have to do is to find the secret room where the Kui family hides their children.
Several police officers had already begun to go up to the roof, and they were busy with their measurements.
We went around to the courtyard of the old house of the Kui family and found that there were other people measuring inside and out.
Shen Yu and I stood side by side in the courtyard and looked at the main house of the Kui family, and under the locust tree next to it, the secret passage that had been dug up before was still open.
"Didn't you just say that you had found the secret of the wall of the Kui Mansion? So what are they busy with, can't they just go in? I said.
"Oh, I lied to you." Shen Yu glanced at me and almost laughed out loud.
"Lie to me?"
"Yes, you are a person, you have goods in your stomach, but you lack self-confidence. I said that sentence to strengthen your courage and let you know the bottom of your heart, so that you can persuade the old man of the Zhu family to tell the truth. ”
