Chapter 2 The taste of sugar cubes
The exclamation of the seventh day of the first month attracted the attention of onlookers.
"Do you recognize this kid?" Someone asked.
"Yes, I know, police, looking for police, no, looking for a doctor, doctor."
Chu Qi panicked, I don't know how this happened, a few hours ago he was smiling and waving to himself, thank him for the candy cube child, now suddenly lying here, like a winter melon that has been thrown down, pop, brain splash, no! That's not right! Nothing is right, the pillar shouldn't have died like this!
Chu Qi cried: 'Call the police, patrol police, where is the patrol police.' “
He no longer bothered to answer other people's questions, looked around blankly, and shouted with all his strength: "Patrol! “
Chu Qi is a semi-vagabond, the so-called semi-vagrant means that he actually has a place to live, his cousin's home is in a deep alley, Chu Qi has long not wanted to go back, he can't stand the sound of so many children in his cousin's family crying and shouting, his cousin is wearing a broken cheongsam, Ai Sitou, the cheapest incense powder chokes people can smoke it.
"On the seventh day of the first month, there is really no way to do it at home." Every time my cousin saw him, he went to the grave like a little widow.
Therefore, this afternoon, after seeing the pillar, I always hoped that the pillar could find my mother, mother, and father, and these words will always ripple with warmth in the heart of the seventh month.
Probably the dance hall is the key place for the patrol officers to patrol at night, and soon there are patrol officers wearing leggings and carrying batons.
"What's wrong?" The patrolman asked.
"A kid jumped off a building."
Someone shouted.
"No, it's a fall, maybe it's murder!"
In the end, he has been a newsboy for a few years, and he is still very news-sensitive, and he understands the difference between jumping off a building and falling from a building.
The patrolman leaned down, examined the pillar's body, and sighed, "It's hopeless, this kid is dead." As he spoke, he looked up at the roof, the Majestic Ballroom was a five-story building, and the boy fell to the hard cement and lost his life in an instant when he hit the ground.
He's dead?
Chu Qi covered his mouth and told himself not to shout.
Died so soon, the pillar shouldn't have any pain, right? Chu Qi comforted himself like this, and then he saw that the patrol officer had already squatted down to check Xu Tianzhu's body.
The patrolman rummaged through the pillar's body, looking for some information about the child, and soon he held a small object in his hand and said, "There is also a candy wrapper here, who knows where this child came from, who is it?" ”
The piece of candy lay in Chu Qi's pocket all day, and he still remembered that the pillar put the candy cube in his mouth, his eyes squinted slightly, showing a very satisfied look, and after eating, he carefully folded the candy wrapper and carried it into his arms. Zhuzi said that this was the second time he had eaten sugar in his life, and perhaps it was this rare sweetness that made him carefully fold the candy wrapper and store it carefully. He was blown away by someone, but he was alone!
Thinking of this, Chu Qi dragged his crying voice and shouted: "It's not jumping off the building, it's not jumping off the building, the pillar is falling, it's likely to be ...... Murderous. “
The patrolman was stunned for a moment, and by the light of the neon light, he recognized that the child was selling newspapers during the day and selling cigarettes around at night, so he frowned and asked, "Do you know him?" ”
"We only met in the afternoon, and we knew that his name was Xu Tianzhu and he came here to find his mother." Speaking of this, Chu Qi looked up at the roof of the ballroom, "Maybe his mother is in this ballroom, right?" He said that his mother was going to get married, and he didn't recognize him, Mr. Policeman, he couldn't have jumped off the building by himself, because, because he told me to ask his mother one last time, if he still didn't recognize him, he would take the train back to his hometown, and said that there was an uncle on the train who was very good to him and would take him back. Mr. Policeman, he thought very well, how could he jump down the stairs by himself, surely, someone must have pushed him down! ”
The policeman frowned, looked down at the body of the child on the ground, and then looked at Chu Qi: "Okay, child, you go to the police station with me." ”
At this time, a woman's coquettish smile came from the door of the dance hall: "Oh, Mr. Zhao, your joke is really funny." ”
Zhao Nan walked out of the dance hall with the red dancing girl Yellow Rose, and saw a group of people surrounding not far away, he pointed in that direction and asked, "It seems that something happened over there, so many people around." ”
Huang Rose pouted and said, "Let's go for supper, those people, these days, even if you fall on your heels, you can surround a group of people, let's go." “
She grabbed Zhao Nan's arm and dragged it in the opposite direction coquettishly.
Zhao Nan usually behaves suavely, but he is not a person who can be swayed by women, as a buddy when he is not cold, he also hates being at the mercy of women the most, he got rid of the shackles of yellow roses without a trace, and walked towards the crowd.
Before he arrived, he heard a child's hoarse voice: "He won't kill himself, Mr. Policeman, he said that as long as there is hope, he sat there in the afternoon to bask in the sun, and ate the candy I gave him, and folded the candy wrappers carefully, how could a person who lives so seriously run up and jump off the building so late." Mr. Policeman, please, he must investigate, he will not seek his own death! ”
Zhao Nan raised his eyebrows: It seems that something big has happened. He separated the crowd and walked forward, and the patrolman saw that this person was dressed extraordinarily, and knew that he could not scold him casually, so he asked with a smile: "Sir, there are dead people here, please stay away, don't stain your body." ”
Zhao Nan nodded, and was just about to turn around and leave, when he heard the child continue to cry: "Pillar, pillar, your mother doesn't recognize you, and now it's like this, why is your life so bitter." ”
Pillar! Zhao Nan was stunned for a moment, stopped, and bent down to look down.
The child was lying face down on the ground, but the patrol officer flipped him over when he checked it.
The child lay face up, with a large stain of blood under his head, a deep black in the dim light, and the pillars seemed to melt into darkness.
It's the pillars, it's the kids you met on that train!
Zhao Nan's heart tightened suddenly, he couldn't help but look up at the building, and suddenly, he felt a bright light flashing in a window on the second floor.
Zhao Nan took a closer look, and the light was gone.
"Sir, please stand back."
The patrolman makes a gesture of please.
"I know this kid." Zhao Nan took out a cigarette case from his pocket and politely handed one to the patrolman, who picked it up and saw that it was an American cigarette, smiled excitedly, and felt that it was a bad thing to laugh in front of a dead body, so he hurriedly held back.
"Sir, you know this...... Child? ”
"Yes, I know him, he came to Shanghai to find his mother, his mother is a dancer, maybe ......"
Zhao Nan looked at the brightly lit ballroom door in front of him: "Perhaps, his mother is in this ballroom." ”
His voice was calm with a hint of resentment: "I don't know how this mother, who has always denied her son, will behave after seeing her son's body." Yellow Rose, come and see, I saw this child in the ballroom just now. ”
"Dead man, I don't look at it."
Yellow Rose pursed her lips with an unhappy expression.
"Come here." Zhao Nan accentuated his tone.
Huang Rose reluctantly twisted her body and walked over this way.
Looking down, he said, "No, I haven't seen it." ”
"You hesitate when you look at him, Yellow Rose, to tell the truth, you must have seen this child, let's say, who is her mother?"
Zhao Nan stared at the yellow rose, his eyes blazing: "To be honest." ”
"I don't know who his mother is, I only saw him come looking for Black Peony."
