Chapter 2: Dark Shadows on a Rainy Night
"The old clam is missing?" The second uncle was also stunned when he heard the news: "After this period of recuperation, his body should have recovered somewhat, but the time is still too short, and it is impossible to return to the standard of living of a normal person if those organs are cut off in the body, why would someone kidnap him at this time?" ”
"Because the seventh master is not here." I said with a wry smile.
The second uncle shook his head: "You can't always think like this. Think about it, your action is not over yet, you may soon go out again, even if the action is over, in the case of a senior nurse, it is impossible for the seventh master to take care of the old clam twenty-four hours a day, if you want to start, there will be many opportunities in the future! Why did you kidnap the old clam when he still needed to recuperate? ”
I frowned: "You mean, most likely, an acquaintance committed the crime?" In addition to his own purpose, he has the ability to take good care of the old clam, and can convince the old clam not to resist? ”
"Well, I think that's going to be the case."
I nodded, feeling in my heart that the second uncle was really a little psychologically dark sometimes, and everything would think of the dark side that others couldn't think of.
"And who do you think it will be?" I asked: "In this circle, or the people around Lao Clam and the Seventh Master, there shouldn't be many people who have the courage to kidnap Lao Clam, right?" ”
"What if it's for Hanjia?" The second uncle said softly: "This thing is a little weird, let's let the seventh master get it, we can't help much." By the way, whatever you want to eat, I'll get it for you! ”
I glanced at the second uncle and shook my head: "I want to go to Xiaoxiao, you don't have to wait for me." ”
Saying that, I stood up, and when I walked to the door, I suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked the second uncle: "By the way, second uncle, why is that old man here again?" ”
As soon as the second uncle heard me ask about the old man, he frowned and walked over, and said in a low voice: "This old man is not simple, he said that he was passing by Jinan today and came to have a look, but after sitting down, after chatting for a few days, the topic was introduced to Hanjia, I think that more and more people have been paying attention to our Gu family recently." ”
"Oh." I answered, and it was about the same as I had imagined.
I turned around to go out to find Xiaoxiao, but the second uncle stopped me, I turned my head, and the second uncle said a little sneeringly: "Xiaorui, there may be some things, the second uncle thinks it's not time to tell you, or rather, he can't talk about it." But you remember, I am your second uncle, you are my nephew, in this world, we are all the closest people to each other, no matter what, I will not do anything bad for you, understand? ”
When the second uncle said this, my heart trembled, what the second uncle said seemed to be from the bottom of my heart, or maybe, everything was the truth. In fact, in my heart, I prefer to believe that I am thinking too much.
"Second uncle, I won't think about it, and you shouldn't think about it either." I smiled and said to my second uncle: "Okay, I'll go find Xiaoxiao first, you can get something to eat by yourself, don't always drink." ”
The second uncle smiled and waved his hand, I walked out of the antique shop, only to find that I don't know when it rained lightly, in the night, under the street lamp, countless raindrops turned into rain curtains, which looked particularly beautiful under the dim light.
I remembered that more than a year ago, when I was studying in Northeast China, it was snowing heavily, Xiaoxiao and I walked home after dinner outside, the snowflakes under the lights were shining, and the whole scene was like a fairy tale. Xiaoxiao stuffed her hand into my pocket and held my hand tightly, and the two of them were happy and warm.
Just over a year later, there was a rift between me and Xiaoxiao. Walking on the road, I called Xiaoxiao, she didn't answer, I was about to send her a message, she sent me a message: "Don't you think, we are getting farther and farther apart?" Especially the heart ......"
Speechless, I stood on the side of the road, looking up at the rain, and my heart ached like pins and needles. Perhaps, this relationship is really irretrievable.
didn't want to go home, walked to the criminal police team across the road, and found that Chu Ying's girl had already gotten off work. Just as he was standing on the side of the road helplessly, the phone suddenly rang.
I took it out and took a look, and it turned out to be Zhao Jing.
When he was hesitating whether to pick it up or not, a figure suddenly rushed over from the cultural market across the road, looking very excited, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Zhao Jing.
"Y-Why are you here?" I asked, confused, "Not going to work?" ”
"Rest today!" Zhao Jing was wearing a short white woolen coat and a corset black T-shirt inside, and stood in front of me with a smile: "I'll invite you to dinner!" ”
I smiled bitterly: "Why are you inviting me to dinner again?" By the way, how did you get here? ”
Last time, I still had palpitations, and for this girl, I decided that it was best to stay away.
"It's my birthday!" Zhao Jing smiled and naturally grabbed my arm: "The hotel also knows that every employee has birthday leave, they said they wanted to give it to me, but I said I had something, and someone gave it to me alone, so I came out to find you!" Didn't you tell me about your antique shop before, I just looked for it, no, just got out of the car and didn't get in, I saw you standing across the road, so I came over! ”
"I'm ...... with you" I smiled wryly and pulled my arm out, "I'm sorry, I was wrong last time, but I really won't...... I have no future with you. I don't have feelings for you, this, you know? ”
Zhao Jing may never have thought that I would say it so directly, and the smile on her face slowly converged. She tucked her hands into her pockets, her head bowed, her toes scratching something on the ground.
After being silent for half a minute, Zhao Jing raised her head again and said with a smile: "It's okay, I didn't say anything." Besides, I don't blame you. Just treat it as a friend, have a meal together or something, and I can act as if it hadn't happened that day. I'm alone in Jinan, with no relatives, you won't even recognize a friend, right? ”
I sighed, "Okay, hmm...... Let's eat over there, there's a nice little shop over there. ”
I took Zhao Jing to a private restaurant in the roadside alley, and after ordering the food, I found an excuse to sneak out, bought her a small cake, and brought it back.
After a normal birthday party, Zhao Jing took a taxi and left, and after I watched her disappear, I walked slowly towards the antique.
It was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, I took out my mobile phone, hesitated, and called Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao picked it up, didn't speak immediately, and listened to the voice, as if he was teasing the dog warrior.
To be honest, I haven't been with the strong man for a long time, and I really miss this dog.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Xiaoxiao asked.
I laughed, "It's okay, what are you doing?" ”
"Nothing, get ready for bed." Xiaoxiao didn't give me a chance to talk more at all: "Just hang up if it's okay, I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow morning!" It's not like you, sleep as long as you want. ”
I still wanted to say something, and it seemed that I had something to say to Xiaoxiao, but I didn't know where to start, so I nodded with a wry smile: "Okay, go to bed early, good night." ”
Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more, and hung up the phone directly.
When I returned to the antique shop and saw that my second uncle was watching the Premier League, I closed the door of the store and walked to sit down opposite my second uncle: "Manchester derby!" I like the blue moon, second uncle......"
"Every time you see Xiaoxiao?" The second uncle interrupted me.
I let out an "um" and nodded.
"Alas, forget it, it's fine. You've both been together for so long, don't worry. The second uncle said and stood up and turned off the TV: "Go back to sleep and rest for two days." ”
Watching my second uncle go upstairs, I sat for a while before I got up and turned off the lights, walked up the stairs, and walked upstairs.
As I passed the bend of the stairs, I inadvertently glanced out the window and suddenly saw a dark figure standing not far behind the building on a rainy night, seemingly facing my direction!
This made my heart tense suddenly: what has happened in the past six months or so makes me feel that people are more terrible than evil things!
I stood still, because there was only a dim small porch lamp at the top of the stairs, and I was afraid that the other party would see me, so I took a deep breath and turned sideways, so that my back was pressed against the wall, and then I looked sideways......
