"Hu Terrier ~ Just call me Lao Hu" He threw me a word without looking back.
"That... Brother Hu" I asked tentatively, "What is it that your chief is looking for me, but is it because of the report letter?" β
"I don't know what the report is, I just know that I want to bring you over" He lowered his head and said in a rough voice, "I just do what I am told, and I don't know the rest." β
"Then you're really dedicated," I pouted, figuring out the yarn. Seeing this guy who is called Hu Terrier just walking forward, I wondered if I should find a chance to sneak away.
"Don't you think about running away" seemed to guess what I was thinking, and the beard in front of me suddenly threw out such a sentence without a head: "The chief explained when he came, as long as he brought you with him, it doesn't matter if he lives or dies." β
βγγγγγγγ Hahaha~ You're too worried" I instantly became flattering, and said with a smile on my face: "The chief wants to see me, that's a great blessing, how could I think of running awayγγγγγγγ β
"Not necessarily," he said, with a hint of suspicion in his tone, "we don't know much about you in the bureau." β
"How could it be, they were malicious at that timeγγγγγ Well? What do you have in your bureau? About me! I keenly caught the question in his words, "Have you investigated me?" β
"Huh? Hehe~" Realizing that he had missed his mouth, Hu Terrier smiled at me, revealing two big yellow teeth in his mouth, and said with a very embarrassed expression: "You heard it wrong, it's the information in your bureau." β
"Oh, that's it" I smiled, but my heart became more and more uneasy, if I remember correctly, I never seemed to say that I was from the police station, could it be that Liu Gang handed over the file that Dongzi had done to the chief, so there was something I was summoned today.
In this way, I followed Hu Terrier to the door at the end of the corridor, silently watched him raise his hand and knock lightly on the door, and after hearing someone inside say "come in", he turned his head and motioned for me to go in.
"That Brother Hu, I suddenly have some stomach pain," I clutched my stomach and said with a painful face, "Can you let me go to the toilet first?" β
"Stomach ache?" Hu Terrier frowned when he heard this, and said suspiciously: "Why doesn't it hurt sooner or later, but it hurts at this time." β
"I can't take care of this thing," I said, rubbing back quietly, and was about to get out of his control, when a deep voice suddenly came from the door: "Nonsense?" But I brought Xiao Lan over, why didn't you come in? β
"Yes, it's me, Xiao Lan has already brought it" Straightened his chest violently, and reported loudly to the crack in the door, he quickly stretched out his big hand and grabbed my collar, easily lifted me up with one hand, and said apologetically: "Little brother, I'm sorry." β
"Hey! You are ... Before I could finish speaking, he pushed the door open, threw me into the house like a chicken, and quickly closed the door at last.
"Oops~ grass" I rolled in the air as if gliding, and then fell to the ground solidly, mentally greeting the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the bearded terrier.
"It's a little bothersome for me to make this gift as soon as I enter the door," a faint smile sounded in his ears.
"Huh?" I subconsciously looked up and saw a large desk in front of me, but there was no one behind the desk, and the voice just now came from the direction on the left.
I turned my head and noticed a middle-aged man in a dark overalls looking at me with a book in one hand and a smile next to the bookshelf on the left.
"This floor is a little slippery" I got up casually and patted my clothes up and down, my expression suddenly shook, I straightened up and saluted him with a not-so-standard military salute: "Xiao Lan came to report and asked the chief to give instructions." β
"Yo ho, it smells like a soldier" The middle-aged man walked slowly behind me with his hands behind his back, his tone was flat, but with an irresistible majesty.
"Paint the cat and the tiger, let you see and smile," I said loudly as I looked straight ahead with my head held high, as if I had returned to the situation when I was in military training.
"Xiao Lan, turn around and let me take a good look at you."
I turned around slowly, looking at him as calmly as I could.
The face of the person in front of him is calm, a pair of eagle eyes are sharp and sharp, and it seems to be able to penetrate everyone's heart, the edge is restrained and not revealed, with a lofty momentum, and... And it seems familiar?
"You wrote the whistleblower letter about your director?" After staring at each other for a long time, the chief suddenly asked calmly.
"No, I haven't written any report letters" I flatly denied: "I'm Uncle Wu's son-in-law, how can I report my prospective father-in-law, this is obviously someone malicious framed." β
"Are you Lao Wu's son-in-law?" The chief seemed a little surprised, and when he saw me nod his head again, his face suddenly became gloomy, and his sharp gaze kept scanning my face, stabbing my cheeks, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold.
"Could it be that this old thing has also taken a fancy to Xuefei?" I felt a chill in my heart, "Look at his age, he shouldn't be the kind of person who doesn't know how to be honest, it's probably his son or nephew or something", looking at his gloomy appearance, I felt weak for a while, for fear that he would suddenly find a trumped-up charge for a while.
"You know, you remind me of a man" When I was young, just as I was waiting impatiently, the chief suddenly sighed, and his face was full of nostalgia.
"Uhγγγγγ This sentence sounds so familiar" Recalling the expression of Sister Lan who said this to me at that time, I shook my body firmly, and secretly said Could it be that the chief is a comrade? This is too unbelievable, I swallowed my saliva hard, and I subconsciously clamped my stomach.
"Xiao Lan, should I call you Xiaolan, or should I call you the third young man of the Xiao family?" Just as I was thinking nonsense, the chief suddenly asked without a head.
"Just call me Xiaolan, what's three less, what's not threeγγγγγγ Well? I didn't react until halfway through the sentence, and stared at him in surprise, like a bolt from the blue.
"What? Why do you look at me like this, don't you think we shouldn't find this?"
"You're mistaken," I pretended to be calm, "I'm an only child, although there are three generations of single family members, but I shouldn't say that I'm third because of this, as for what you said about the three young Xiao family, I don't understand." β
"I don't understand, right" the chief smiled, "Papapa~" clapped his hands three times, and soon, the door of the house was pushed open again, and Hu Terrier and the other two people collapsed quickly, and the finished glyph stood behind me, as if waiting to be captured. Seeing this battle, I was so shocked that cold sweat flowed out, and my heart had been hiding for so long, or did the East Window incident happen. At this point, I calmed down and looked at him silently, my eyes clear without a ripple.
"About fourteen years ago, a horrific thing happened to you here" looked at me, who was clenched with his fists clenched but expressionless, and a dangerous smile appeared on his face: "At that time, when your city was building a commercial building, when laying the foundation, the workers dug up a mahogany coffin, according to experts, that thing is at least two thousand years old, I don't know if you know about it?" β
"I don't know," I didn't hesitate, "I was just eight years old at the time, and I was only in the third grade of elementary school, so how could I pay attention to such a thing." β
"Third grade? You remember it quite clearly," the smile on the chief's face widened.
βγγγγγγγγγβ Realizing the problem in my words, I quickly closed my mouth and stood there without saying a word, waiting for his next words.
"Two thousand years of history, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we are the first time to find such a good coffin, when the central government issued three white papers, strictly ordered the local government to come forward, suspend the project, improve the preservation, and quickly send a team of experts here to carry out excavation work, it can be seen how important this coffin is" After sincerely admiring it, he suddenly changed his words: "But there was a mistake in the eyes of the experts who were about to come, and the coffin was secretly dug out and forcibly broke open the coffin with external force. The things inside were also gone, none of the twenty-three workers guarding the construction site survived, and even more so were wiped off the skin around their bodies alive, tsk tsk~ How did you say that these strange things came together. β
"If the chief wants to re-investigate this case, then you should give it to Uncle Wu, I'm just a doctor, and I can't help anything." I said slowly.
"No, no, no~ you can" The chief sneered: "At this time, there was an uproar, if it wasn't for the above's efforts to conceal it, I'm afraid it would have caused a huge social repercussions, and when we investigated afterwards, we found that the developer and his wife of this building disappeared on the night of the incident, and there was a great suspicion of this matter." β
"Well, did you catch them in the end?" I asked casually, as if listening to a fresh story.
"No, they are too cunning, we tracked them for more than three months before we found out that they had already fled to South Dakota, the United States, and the specific location has been determined, but because of the lack of evidence, they cannot obtain the local arrest power, so the case has been dragged on until today." As he spoke, the chief walked up to me and stretched out his hand to carefully arrange my collar. "But there is a breakthrough in everything, once when we were investigating their couple, we found that they had a son who was studying in a national elementary school, and when we went to him with hope, we only got a death certificate, which was issued by the central hospital where you are located, and you said that this is not a coincidence."
"There are unforeseen circumstances, maybe you lost your parents and can't think of committing suicide," I forced a smile on my face: "This kind of thing can only be said to be your bad luck." β
"No, you're wrong again" The chief smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "We are very lucky, who would have thought that in fourteen years, we would meet someone who has the same name as that child, and even matches the age, blood type and even DNAγγγγγγγγγγγ How about it, Comrade Xiao Lan, oh no, it's the third young man of the Xiao family, do you still need me to understand more? β
βγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ No need, I am indeed Xiao Qingsong's son, but I really don't dare to compliment the name of the three young people of the Xiao family" At this time, I already understand that it has become meaningless to resist stubbornly, since people have investigated everything clearly, why should I deceive myself here like a clown.
"Oh, indeed, the intelligence shows that you have separated from the Xiao family," the chief nodded in approval, "In that case, you should also know why we found you." β
Breathing a deep sigh of relief and calming down my nervousness, I grinned and tried my best to keep my smile on my face: "I know your intentions, but you just want to use me to force my parents to comply, I advise you not to be delusional, fourteen years, it is estimated that they have long forgotten about my son, and the cruel throwing of me to my grandparents back then is enough to show what status I have in their hearts." β
"It's not bothering you," the chief sneered, "You're tired today, go down and rest, if you need anything, just bring it up" As he spoke, he glanced at the three people behind me, and when Hu Terrier and the others saw this, they immediately pressed their big furry hands on my shoulders.
"Don't touch me!" I shook off their dirty hands and said coldly, "I'll go myself!" β
"Please~" The chief waved his hand casually and made a gesture of invitation to the door. I knew there was no point in resisting, so I had to numbly follow the three of them out mechanically.
"Is this the bureau's temporary detention facility?" Slowly looking around, I said to myself, "There is a table, a bed, a fan, and a separate bathroom, which is much better than the treatment of a hotel." "I really didn't expect that I would be brought to such a place by them, and I think about it, what I carry on my body is not as easy as Uncle Wu's others.
After Hu Terrier sent me in, he politely took away my mobile phone that had been turned off for a long time, explained some daily things, such as what time to eat, how to contact them if there was something, and then left, leaving me alone in front of the white-painted iron bars and the empty detention center.
"Finally free" I suddenly felt that all my strength was instantly drained, I collapsed heavily on the bed, closed my eyes, a door in the depths of my memory was instantly opened, and scene after scene flashed in my mind as if I had been in a movie.
I was a happy child when I was a child, with a harmonious family and my parents who loved me deeply, and my parents' real estate business was very big, so at that time my family was very wealthy, and the deepest memory in my childhood was to hold a large box of chocolates to the class, because the school has rules that you are not allowed to bring snacks to school, otherwise you have to give each child in the class a copy, at that time, the proudest thing is to take out your favorite chocolate in front of the teacher, in her reprimand, Distribute the chocolates in the box to everyone one by one, and then watch the teacher's face turn green little by littleγγγγγ
But it all ended the night when I was eight years old, and I still remember vividly that my parents took me out of school and sent me to my grandparents' house in the countryside, and told me the good news that I didn't have to go to that cage-like elementary school for a while. When I heard this, I felt as excited as if I had won five million in the current dynasty. So much so that for a long time afterward, I couldn't help but laugh out loud in my dreams.
My mother seemed to cry that night, because she said that she and her father were going on a long trip, to a far away place, and she was very reluctant to let me go. I pouted my lips disapprovingly, wasn't it just a long trip, and I hadn't experienced it before. It seemed that my mother was really sad, and I stretched out my little hand to wipe away her tears, but the more I wiped them, the more I wiped them, so that I ran to pull the paper for a while, and then ran to wash the towels, and I was very busy, and then I fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up, my parents were gone, and for a long time afterward, I was looking forward to the gifts they brought me when they returned, such as talking bears or bags of snacks, and I laughed out loud every time I thought about it.
But after all, it was just a childhood fantasy, who would have expected that this would be fourteen spring and autumn γγγγγγγ
The parents have committed a crime, a very serious crime, as the chief said today, and all those who know it believe that they are executioners with blood on their hands, and they are demons, so even after fourteen years, they are still going to die, and they are not given any chance to defend themselves.
The Xiao family is affectionate, and they know their own warmth and coldness. I remember when I was a child, I also went back to my family with my parents a few times, although my grandfather was not on the right path with my brothers, but it was reasonable, my father, who was a junior, should also take his wife and children back to pay tribute to the ancestors, and it happened that the entire Xiao family was a single line, and my grandfather was the third, and I also happened to be the third grandson of the Xiao family, so the relatives of the family jokingly called me the third young man of the Xiao family. It's just that since the accident with our parents, we have completely separated from our family, or rather, our family abandoned us, it's normal to think about it, who wants to start a fire, the fragile family relationship is broken at the time of cholera after all.
Fortunately, I have a very good friend who works in an intelligence department, and through his hands in the past few years, I have also learned about the current situation of my parents, and I heard that they have contracted a farm in the United States to grow soybeans or something, and life can be regarded as nourishing.
I originally thought that all this was over, they had theirs, I had mine, as long as they didn't contact, they would be absolutely safe, but I didn't expect it to be found out, even if my mother asked her cousin, that is, the dean, to give me a death certificate and change my household registration, it didn't let me escape this catastrophe, not only did the family find it easily, but even dug up the matter of us leaving the family.
