"No, I have never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Xia. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I only recently purchased that apartment building. On the TV, a middle-aged white man with gold-rimmed glasses and a hint of grief on his face shook his head slightly.

"Mr. Dyer, how do you respond to some media reports about 'you already know that the safety of these tenants is a big concern'?" A reporter asked in a hurry, and the microphone in his hand was eager to be stuffed into the mouth of the old man with glasses.

"Yes, that's right. Anyone who lives here knows that Hell's Kitchen is chaotic. That's why I offer a decent compensation to all the residents in the apartment to help them find another place to live. Dale continued to shake his head, his sad expression looking so contrived to Summer's eyes.

"This kind of thing shouldn't have happened to Mr. Xia's family, this neighborhood needs to be rectified, if I could have intervened earlier, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Dale finished speaking and hurried away.

A group of reporters tried to follow, but were stopped by a group of black bodyguards, and finally, in the camera footage, the black high-end SUV flew away.

Smack.

The TV was turned off. Summer turned her head and saw an old woman. At this time, he was looking at Summer with a strange face.

"You're too young to be exposed to these things." The nurse in the orphanage, no matter what purpose the director of the orphanage recruited Summer into, this female nurse named Laura is still very good for Summer. She has a kind heart and does not have any resentment about the color of her skin in the summer.

"There's still no news from the police department, right?" Summer asked, turning her head to look at the pitch-black TV screen.

Laura looked at the lonely and young figure in the distance, and sighed silently in her heart, she was also very concerned about this matter, and a friend at the police station revealed to her in private that the camera on the street in front of the apartment did not record any information, and the camera had been damaged for a long time, and it had been some years.

The incident happened again in the rainy night close to the early hours of the morning, and no witnesses were found around, only the confused old woman Amy saw the accident, but because of her age, she could not say any clear clues. Like Summer, she didn't see the murderer, nor did she see the license plate, and the heavy rain not only washed everything clean, but also covered all sins with a rain curtain.

"This is the seventh day, give them some time, and they will always bring the murderer to justice." Laura, the nurse, comforts Summer, and she is still very confident that she is dealing with a 5-year-old child, this is her job, and it is also her means of making a living, she has spent most of her life with children, and knows what those little brains want to hear.

Laura, the nurse, walked to the sofa, squatted down, looked at Summer's silent little face, and said softly: "Why don't you go back to the house, after washing, I will tell you a bedtime story, how about it?" You'll love it. ”

"Can I give Ms. Amy a call?" Summer suddenly looked up and asked pleadingly.

Laura sighed softly, reached out to rub Summer's hair, but was avoided by Summer, looking at Summer's frowning brow, Laura gave up touching her head and said, "It's late, dear." It's already 9 o'clock in the evening, and you listen, the whole building is in a deep sleep, and only you sneak out of the room to watch TV here. I think Ms. Amy is already asleep too, don't disturb her rest, okay? ”

"No, she's not going to fall asleep." Summer shook her head.

Looking at Summer's determined eyes, Laura got up and sat down next to Summer, and said, "Listen, child, we're not trying to separate you from your loved ones, we're not bad people. Ms. Amy is very old, she has no stable income, she can't raise you, she even needs state relief, here, at least you can be fed and clothed, and in the future, there may be a loving couple who will adopt you away......"

Before the female nurse could finish her words, Summer had already run away.

"Wait, stop, you kid......"

Chased by a female nurse, Summer arrives in her bedroom. Woke up another sleeping female nurse.

"Hehe, kid, you're afraid of the dark, aren't you? Come to Auntie's place. "Female caregivers are obviously mistaken and think that summer is here for comfort and refuge. I saw Summer running to the table and picking up the phone receiver.

"You ......" The female nurse didn't know what to do for a while, so she hurriedly got up, and behind her, Laura walked in quickly.

"Laura, this?" The female nurse looked at Summer suspiciously, and then at Laura.

Laura opened her mouth, but finally let Summer go, and said with a serious expression: "Just this time, after making the call, you will obediently go to sleep for me." ”

"Thank you." Summer pursed her lips and inserted her fingers into the old rotary telephone, which seemed to be a little old, even though there were already push-button telephones in this era.

The wheel kept spinning, and Summer listened to the sound of the wheel, and soon after, the other end was connected. It's just a man's voice.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm the summer of 204a, I'm sorry to bother you so late, I thought, can you help me find Amy? Summer asked.

There was silence on the other end of the line. Maybe it was because he heard the voice of summer, or maybe he thought of the experience of summer, in the end, the night watchman on duty didn't say anything, put down the earpiece, got up and left the duty room, and walked to the second floor.

Summer was a little anxious, but Laura here came over, gently took Summer into her arms, sat on the chair, and comforted: "Don't worry, I'm a person who keeps my promises." I'll let you finish this call. However, you are also a man who keeps his promises. In a moment, you'll go back to sleep with me, won't you? ”

"Okay, Laura." Summer nodded heavily, and it wasn't long before she heard Amy's old voice.

"Is it my little summer?" The old woman's voice was slightly surprised, and her eyes were a little astringent when she listened to it.

Summer spoke softly, "Yes, Amy." I thought, I want you to move out of that apartment. ”

Amy on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, she thought that what would happen next would be a conversation about the current situation and mutual comfort, but she didn't expect that five-year-old Summer would say such a thing. This made her have to think that there was someone behind it.

"Hehe, child, I'm too old to walk. It's good here. Amy opened her mouth in response.

"No, Amy. They're going to give you a lot of compensation, and I think you won't be in danger when you move out of that apartment, and maybe moving out of Hell's Kitchen is the best option. Summer spoke, but she had already felt the surprised eyes of the two nurses beside her.

"Whatever you hear, whatever you are deceived by, let me tell you, child, none of that is true." Amy's old twig-like palm gripped the earpiece, "There's no 'lot of compensation' at all, there's nothing I can do about it, I can't move out of this house." ”

"Don't be deceived, get out of here, I'll only live on the streets." Amy smiled, and that bitter smile made Summer feel a little cold, "Here are my memories, there is everything I have." It was here that my husband died, and it would be a good thing if I could leave this world here. ”

"Emmy ......"

"Listen, kid. You're smart, you have to learn to protect yourself...... Toot toot ......" accompanied by a busy tone in his ears, the phone in Summer's hand also gently slid to the ground.

What no one noticed was that in the next bedroom, a white boy with his empty eyes open, seemed to be listening to everything.
