Chapter 30: Accidental Collision
"Me?!"
I didn't understand the meaning of Aunt Yan's words for a while, and stretched out my index finger and pointed at myself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What, didn't your Uncle Yan look for you?"
I nodded, "He did come to me the night before yesterday, but he left that night......"
Suddenly, I opened my mouth in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Did he come to me and never come back?" ”
Aunt Yan was about to nod, but she seemed to remember something, and immediately shook her head and said: "It's not that I haven't come back, he came back once the night he went to look for you, about twelve o'clock, saying that the phone was out of battery, but not long after he came back, he answered the phone and left again, so busy that he forgot to take the phone." ”
"Whose phone number?" I hurriedly asked.
Aunt Yan shook her head blankly.
"Then where did Uncle Yan go?"
"I don't know, he just said something urgent and went out."
I looked at her in surprise, "Then why don't you just ask?" ”
If Uncle Yan's disappearance is full of suspense, this Aunt Yan is also weird, her wife went out in the middle of the night, she can actually ask arrogantly?
Aunt Yan seemed to see my thoughts, and flattened her mouth helplessly, "Alas, Xiaojun, you don't understand, I and your Uncle Yan have been like this for most of our lives, he used to be gone for at least three or four days, and there was no news, I have long been used to it, but when he comes back, he will tell me everything he has done in those days, if he can say anything." ”
I looked into the other party's eyes, kind and pure, without the slightest treachery, so that I was very willing to believe her words, "But he specially called me that day, saying that he was waiting for me at home, but he left when I rushed back." ”
Aunt Yan suddenly laughed and said apologetically: "Xiaojun, then Aunt will compensate you for my wife first, and when he comes back, I will immediately let him go to you." ”
Other! It's better never to come to me!
I rolled my eyes in my heart, but Aunt Yan's warmth and politeness made me a little embarrassed, so I took the opportunity to drink water to change the topic, "You just said that there was no news?" Could it be that in the days when Uncle Yan disappeared, he didn't even call home? This is also too irresponsible. ”
This last sentence is mixed with my private emotions, and it is no wonder that such an irresponsible person is full of bad water.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Yan, who has always been kind, suddenly became serious after hearing this, and she said in a firm voice: "No, he is by no means an irresponsible person, there is a reason why he is like this, because he was a policeman." ”
"Police?!"
I was choked by the water I had just drunk into my mouth and coughed repeatedly, and it took me a long time to recover, the news was absolutely explosive, but when I thought about it carefully, it was reasonable, the reason was that he and Lu Yong had a phone call, maybe they were colleagues in the past.
Aunt Yan sighed leisurely, "Yes, the wife of a policeman is like this, I don't know what he is doing, I have to worry about him all the time, I am afraid that he will never come back if he goes out one day, fortunately, he is retired now." ”
"Uncle Yan used to be from the Criminal Investigation Brigade?"
"yes, if he was just a normal cop, I wouldn't be so worried, you know, they're dealing with murderous criminals."
Aunt Yan's words confirmed my guess, needless to say, Uncle Yan must have been involved in the old case three years ago, and he is likely to be Lu Yong's evil minions.
I didn't expect that I had gained a lot from my mistake this time.
I have no intention of destroying Uncle Yan's impression in my aunt's heart, and I am cautious, so I didn't say anything about him and Lu Yong, not to mention that even if I did, it would not benefit me, and I would not do this kind of thing that harmed others and myself.
"By the way, Xiaojun, Auntie just wanted to ask you, didn't you come here today to find your Uncle Yan?"
"This ......"
I was speechless, and I didn't know how to answer for a while.
"I just saw you standing at the door of room 303 and knocking on the door, are you looking for that family?"
Aunt Yan's words made me have no way out, what I did just now was seen by her, and it was obviously too late to deny it now, but if I admit it like this......
Suddenly, I had an idea and replied, "Actually, I came to find Uncle Yan today, I didn't know that I went to the wrong door just now, and I thought that no one at home called Uncle Yan." ”
Although I secretly admire my quick wit, I always have a feeling of emptiness in my heart, maybe this is called a thief's heart.
Aunt Yan smiled slightly and said, "So that's the case, but you're not wrong, there is indeed no one living next door." ”
"Why? Is the host's family out of town? ”
"I don't know, don't look at our two families as neighbors, but the family hasn't seen each other a few times since I moved here, and they moved out more than a year ago."
"Moved away? Could it be that no one has lived in 303 for more than a year? ”
"No, I heard that this house is haunted, it can neither be sold nor lent, and it has been empty until now after the master's family moved out, I thought about buying it and then bringing my son's family to live together, but your Uncle Yan resolutely disagreed, saying that it was unlucky, so I had to give up."
It can be seen that this incident is a pity for Aunt Yan, people always hope to live a life of children and grandchildren around their knees when they are old, and the reinforced concrete in the big city blocks the interaction between people, and also cuts off the family happiness that should belong to these old people, making people live more and more lonely and more and more self-conscious.
I feel a little sympathetic to the old man in front of me, how did Uncle Yan spend those lonely and frightened days when she was away?
However, since I talked about Room 303, I didn't want to let go of any clues about it so easily, so I adjusted my mood and continued: "Haunting is just a rumor, is it possible that this kind of thing without scientific basis makes all the people who buy and rent houses believe it?" ”
"If it's just a rumor of a haunting, of course not so many people will believe it, but if someone really died in that house, this haunted thing will seem more real, so everyone will feel unlucky." Aunt Yan said with a disgruntled face: "But they don't want to think about it, if it weren't for this reason, how could there be such a cheap house for sale?" Could it be that pies will really fall from the sky? ”
"You said there was a death in that house?" I asked, feigning ignorance.
"Yes, I heard that the family is all dead, and it is miserable, but we haven't moved here yet, so we didn't see it with our own eyes, but your Uncle Yan handled that case, and he told me."
I seemed to grasp some of the illogic in the other party's words, thought about it, and asked puzzledly, "Why do you move here when so many people have died here?" ”
"I don't know."
Aunt Yan's answer made me laugh, if it weren't for the serious expression on her face when she spoke, I would really think that she was making me happy.
"You probably think this is ridiculous, but I'm serious, it was your Uncle Yan who insisted on moving here, and I didn't agree at first, but I couldn't resist him, so I had to agree, and later I learned that one of the people who died in room 303 was his comrade-in-arms."
"Comrade-in-arms?"
"Yes, although he never mentioned it, I suspect that maybe it was this friendship that made him choose to move in after the death of his comrade-in-arms, right? If that's the case, what can I complain about? ”
Aunt Yan's body flashed with the light of the Virgin, which made me feel cordial from the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, why is there such a big difference between two people under the same roof?
As for Uncle Yan's comrade-in-arms, there is no doubt that it should be Xue Zilong, but the reason why he insisted on moving here was definitely not what Aunt Yan guessed, although he didn't know his true purpose, it must be related to Room 303.
My brain was racing, hesitating whether to ask more about the murder in Room 303, after all, I had already come here, whether I asked or not, in the eyes of Uncle Yan and Lu Yong, there was no difference, it was a dangerous signal, a signal enough for them to kill people.
Therefore, if you simply break the kettle, you may be able to break out of a new situation.
I took another sip of water, cleared my dry throat and said, "I really want to hear what the 303 case is going on because you say that?" I guess it must be pretty bizarre, right? ”
Aunt Yan frowned when she heard this, and thought for a while before telling me about the 10.18 homicide case she knew.
Maybe it's because I'm usually too lonely, Aunt Yan's conversation box became endless as soon as she opened it, but it's a pity that what she said was what I knew, those that could be broadcast in the news.
"Actually, I don't know much about this case, and I can see that your Uncle Yan has been sullen since the death of this comrade-in-arms, I think he must be very sad."
Sad?
I scoffed at using this word on Uncle Yan, I thought of thousands of reasons for his depression, but it was not because of the death of my comrade-in-arms.
But even if I despise this person in my heart, I won't say it, because Aunt Yan's kindness is worthy of respect and protection.
If Aunt Yan can live with this dream, why do I have to break it?
When I said goodbye and left the Yan family, Aunt Yan seemed quite reluctant, she told me to be careful on the road, usually to be full of food and clothing, and often come to sit and sit when I have time, like an elder in the family chattering to take care of my children and grandchildren, so that I, a person who has been in a foreign land all the year round, feel a long-lost warmth of home.
Walking out of Uncle Yan's house, I turned my head to look at room 303 again, and after making sure I didn't have any impression of this place, I went downstairs and left.
Suddenly, my footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and in the empty hallway, I heard another footstep following me, like my shadow, and when I stopped, the strange sound disappeared with it.
Someone is stalking me!
This was almost an instinctive reaction, and although I was mentally prepared when I came, now, an invisible sense of oppression suddenly came over me, and I was overwhelmed, after all, any negligence could kill me.
And it was a big mistake to come here by yourself.
I suppressed my beating heart, held my breath, and ran downstairs, the footsteps behind me getting faster and closer, and the scythe of death seemed to hang high above my head.
Luckily, it was only three floors, and the moment I rushed out of the building, the feeling of pressure that made my blood run suddenly disappeared, and the phone in my pocket rang at the same time.
I took out my mobile phone and saw that it was Xu Long's phone, and the other party said in a low but roaring tone at the moment I connected the phone: "Run, turn right out of the community, and then get in the car!" ”
Almost the moment I heard Xu Long's warning, I subconsciously pulled out my legs and ran outside the community.
