The old man's expression slowed slightly, and he lowered his head and thought for a moment before asking suspiciously, "Are you...... Is that the half-old gentleman back then? ”

Mr? All right! I can be considered a gentleman too!

I nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"Ah......" the old man let out a long sigh, with a thick sigh in his tone, "If only I could come back two years earlier!" ”

I chuckled in my heart, could it be that something happened to the White Night Family?

"Uncle, what's wrong?" I suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

The old man shook his head, with a look on his face that was stunned, "Two years ago, Bai Ye's grandmother had already passed away!" ”

"Huh? No, it won't! I remember that I helped Grandma Baiye see it at that time, and her longevity is still more than ten years! How could it be ......"

"Hmph...... If Bai Ye had a little filial piety, how could her grandmother ......" The old man's voice choked.

I looked at him in surprise, could it be that Bai Ye's grandmother died?

"Uncle, what has happened in the past few years? Can you tell me more about it? I grabbed the old man's hand and pleaded.

The old man let out another long sigh, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, pointed to a six-storey residential building on the east side of the square, and said, "Bai Ye's family lives on the first floor of that building, and I live opposite her house." ”

It turned out that they were neighbors, no wonder he knew so much about the affairs of the White Night's house.

"I still remember that it was in May two years ago, and Grandma Bai Ye told me that Bai Ye had not been back for a month, and she was very worried about Bai Ye. Please ask me to help my son go to White Night's school to see what White Night is doing! But my son went to Bai Ye's school, and the school said that Bai Ye hadn't been to class for a week, and they were about to contact the parents! ”

"At that time, we were all worried about whether something had happened to the white night! However, the very next night, Bai Ye came back drunk. The Bai family's grandmother said a few words to her, and she quarreled with the Bai family's grandmother, and then I don't know what they said, Bai Ye slammed the door and left! ”

Bai Ye's temper is a little short-tempered, I know this! But she only has one relative left for her grandmother, so she won't slam the door with her grandmother and leave!

"It is said that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and we are just neighbors, and many things are not easy to manage. Besides, Bai Ye's mother died early, and his father followed. She's a poor child too, and we can't say anything more! I can only persuade the grandmother of the Bai family to let her relax! ”

"Hey...... I thought it was over! It just so happened that week that I was invited to participate in a contest and left the city for a week! Who knew that when I came back, the White Night House actually emitted a foul smell. I asked the neighbors upstairs, and they said they hadn't seen Grandma Bai for a week! I felt that something was wrong, and immediately called someone to open the door of the White Night's house! ”

"I didn't expect it......," the old man couldn't go on, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and let out a long sigh.

"I didn't expect the Bai family's grandmother to have been dead in the house for a week!" The old lady who practiced Tai Chi came over and answered the old man's words.

Dead for a week until the body decomposes and emits a foul stench that is not discovered......

My heart was unspeakably uncomfortable, and I felt so tight that I couldn't breathe at the thought that the kind old woman had been found by the neighbors until her body was decomposing.

"How did Grandma Bai die?" I took a deep breath and asked.

Later, the medical examiner said that she accidentally fell on the ground and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and she did not take her to the hospital in time before she died. This is nothing, and what is even more infuriating is that her granddaughter has never appeared. The aftermath of the old man, or Uncle Bai really can't help handle it! The old lady who practiced Tai Chi said indignantly.

No! Something must have happened in the White Night! Otherwise, how could she not show up when her grandmother died?

"What about the White Night? Did you go to school to look for her at that time? "I don't believe that the White Nights would be a person who would not even show up when his only loved one died.

"I've been there!" The old man sighed and said, "The school said that Bai Ye went to the school to go through the suspension procedures the day after the quarrel with her grandmother, and no one knows where to go!" ”

Yes...... Bai Ye went through the procedures for suspension, but she never went back to her house? How so?

"In the past two years, Bai Ye has not come back?" After the words were asked, I realized that I had asked in vain. If the white night had come back, the old man would not have such an attitude.

Sure enough, the old man shook his head, "No! ”

Where did the white night go? Could something be wrong? It's a pity that I don't know Bai Ye's birthday, otherwise I could have lit a life lamp for her to see if she was still alive.

"When the grandmother of the Bai family was alive, she often told us about you, saying that you are not only a gentleman with profound Taoism, but also a kind child, if it weren't for you, their two ancestors would not know how to live! At that time, she also told me that it would be good to marry you when Bai Ye grew up! said that you will definitely be a good husband, and Bai Ye will be very happy with you for the rest of your life! It's a pity ......"

The old man shook his head regretfully, and my heart was even more sour. If Grandma Bai was still alive, she would be very happy to see me coming, and she would take my hand and tell me to take good care of Bai Ye for her, and she would say that she would make me her best soy sauce noodles......

When I came out of the community, my heart felt like a big stone had been crushed, and it was so heavy that it made it difficult for me to breathe.

I didn't expect that in seven years, this place would have been non-human for seven years, and the white night was nowhere to be found, and the white grandmother had passed away...... Even the bright face in my mind was blurring. White Nights...... I whispered these two words, where have you been?

Until I got into the taxi to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, my mood was still very low, and what echoed in my mind was the bits and pieces of the year and the white night. Her smile, her tears, the fragrance of her body, and the softness of her hugging me......

"Sir, the Municipal Public Security Bureau has arrived!" The taxi driver turned his head to warn me.

"Oh! Good! "I looked at the meter and paid.

After getting out of the car, I took a deep breath of the fresh air around me and exhaled all the chaotic thoughts in my mind and the turbidity in my heart.

After feeling a little more relaxed, he slowly walked towards the building of the Public Security Bureau.

Looking at the signs in the hall, I went straight to the office of the Criminal Division.

A staff member at the door of the office stopped me and politely asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?" ”

"Hello, I'm looking for Li Xiang!" I replied with a smile.

"I'm sorry, we don't have a police officer named Li Xiang here!" The man said with a smile.
