Chapter 10: Xie Tao's Return

"You seem to hate him in particular?" Li Bai looked at Lao Zhao's posture, and couldn't wait to scold Xie Tao's ancestors for eighteen generations.

"I, I, have always been right about things and not people, and I scolded him when he did something wrong. I'm telling you, he's already causing public outrage! Lao Zhao defended himself while shifting the target.

"I haven't heard others scold him like you" Li Bai thought to himself, what is wrong with you, not with people, it's clear that it's only about people.

Lao Zhao pursed his lips, looked disapproving, and said: "That's because they are embarrassed to scold, think about it, who will squirt the blood of the dog he scolded because of a few cats?" Doesn't this promote disharmony in neighborhoods? ”

Lei Baoquan and Li Bai looked at each other, both wanting to laugh a little, Lei Baoquan pointed at Lao Zhao: "Aren't you talking about yourself?" ”

"I" Lao Zhao reacted, he dug a pit, but he didn't pay attention to burying himself, "I'm just because my personality is too straight, so I'm willing to come out like this, I said what they didn't dare to say, in fact, everyone is the same." ”

"Oh, so you're still brave?" Li Bai said with a smile.

"Of course. In fact, I don't want to be so stiff, it's really because my children are reviewing during that time, which is the critical stage, how can I be disturbed? Lao Zhao told the truth.

Lei Baoquan nodded, he felt that Lao Zhao's sentence was the only true word.

"Then does Xie Tao usually have a lot of dealings with Peng Daliang?" Lei Baoquan remembered this question.

"Uh" Lao Zhao frowned and thought about it, "Generally, it is a friendship to meet and talk, because this kid is not often at home, even if he comes back, it will be in the middle of the night or early in the morning, who can see him a few times?" ”

"Oh, okay, then that's all for now." Lei Baoquan felt that this old Zhao couldn't say anything, just complained vigorously.

"Comrade." Lao Zhao saw that the two were leaving, and hurriedly shouted. "You inquired about Xie Tao in such detail, didn't you?"

"It's not." Lei Baoquan didn't wait for Lao Zhao to finish speaking, and gave a negative answer first.

"Tsk, I'm not done yet," Lao Zhao had to ask again. But the two men were already out of the door.

"This big brother's mouth is too broken, he can still say more than the one just now, who are the people living in this building?" Li Bai shook his head, expressing helplessness.

"It's understandable to talk a lot, but these ten minutes. Just listening to him scolding, there is a feeling of an old mother, which reminds me of a person. Lei Baoquan looked at Li Bai and glanced at him.

Li Bai immediately understood and said, "I know! Sister Wang! ”

"Hey, you kid reacted very quickly this time." Lei Baoquan nodded at him with satisfaction.

After that, the two went to several houses next to them in a row, including the uncle and the woman they asked yesterday, but no one was at home.

"There are only Peng Daliang's family and Xie Tao's family left." Li Bai looked at a row of knocked doors and said.

"Let's go back." Lei Baoquan said lightly.

"Don't, go try." Li Bai pointed to the door of Xie Tao's house and said.

"Are you sick? No one, what do you try? Lei Baoquan said impatiently.

Li Bai didn't listen to Lei Baoquan and stepped forward. Knocked lightly on the door, but there was no response, Li Bai listened carefully, and there seemed to be a few cat meows coming from the door.

"It doesn't seem like there's anybody." Li Bai stuck on the door and listened, only the cat meowed.

Lei Baoquan turned around to leave, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that there was a thin and weak, not tall, beautiful face, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses standing behind him. At this time. appeared behind Lei Baoquan like a ghost.

Lei Baoquan was excited, and almost instinctively reached out to punch him.

"Who are you looking for?" The man asked, holding his glasses.

"We're looking for someone from this house." Li Bai pointed to Xie Tao's house.

The man suddenly put his hand in his pocket, walked to the door, and pulled out a bunch of keys. As he opened the door, he said, "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”

"You are Xie Tao?!" Li Bai couldn't believe that Xie Tao, who had never seen anyone, suddenly appeared, and he still appeared on the stage with such a simple appearance.

Xie Tao turned his head to look at them and said, "I am, you are?" ”

"Police." Lei Baoquan replied quietly.

Xie Tao was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He opened the door and said, "Didn't you inform me that the afternoon would pass?" Why did you come first? ”

When the three of them entered the door, Lei Baoquan and Li Bai found that the room was a little messy, with several rows of books and magazines facing the wall of the door, the dishes and chopsticks on the table had not been cleaned up, and the air was mixed with the smell of cat urine. A few kittens were crouching by the wall, and the cat food bowl in front of them was empty.

After Xie Tao entered the house, he first opened the window to ventilate, and then filled their bowls one by one, looking at the way the kitten lowered his head and chewed, Xie Tao straightened up and smiled at Lei Baoquan and Li Bai as if he had completed the task, and said, "You can do whatever you want, the hot water kettle at home is broken, and you can't boil the water."

"It's okay, we're not thirsty." After Lei Baoquan finished speaking, he sat on the old sofa next to him.

Xie Tao grabbed a chair and sat on the opposite side, and said, "Well, it's the first time a police officer has come to my house."

"I believe it will not be the last." Lei Baoquan said meaningfully, his eyes kept staring at Xie Tao.

Xie Tao was a little embarrassed by him, and said, "Then you are looking for me"

"I want to know a little bit about you, please be honest." Lei Baoquan said as if he had given an order.

"Okay, I will." Xie Tao nodded and replied.

"Something happened to your neighbor yesterday, you know?" Lei Baoquan asked first.

"You know, it was Lao Peng who was killed, right? I was also surprised, I didn't expect this to happen here. Xie Tao said so, but his tone was very flat, as if he was reading a text.

Li Bai turned his gaze away from the eating cat and said, "I don't look like you look very surprised?" ”

Xie Tao smiled and said, "I'm not very good at expressing myself, and I don't know any expressions or anything like that, people who know me know that it's like a log." ”

"No matter how wooden you are, you won't even feel like someone is dead next to you, right?" Lei Baoquan asked.

Xie Tao was stunned for a moment, he saw that these two people seemed to be coming specifically for him today, and the words and tone of their questions were "aggressive".

"Actually, to be honest, I was very surprised in my heart, but I may not be able to show it on my face, which may have something to do with my profession." Xie Tao explained.

"Oh? What class can still have this kind of function? Li Bai was curious.

"I work at a funeral home." Xie Tao looked at him and said.

Li Bai suddenly felt that his gaze was a little cold, but he still asked head-on, "Funeral home?" What for? Gatekeeper? ”

"Corpses." Xie Tao replied.

"Corpses?" Li Bai didn't understand it a little.

Lei Baoquan next to him turned his head and explained: "It's to put on makeup on the corpse." (To be continued.) )
