A man who did not look good slowly withdrew from the crowd of onlookers, and quietly turned away.

After a brightly lit section, he stood in front of a glass window and straightened his clothes, his amber eyes quickly swept behind him, and then he took a leisurely step to disappear into the crowd.

*

The fat man followed the hearse to arrive, and according to custom, he set off a firecracker in front of the corpse, burned a stack of paper money, and then sent the corpse to the hearse and went to the mourning hall with his family.

The scene was quickly washed away by water, leaving only faint traces.

Mao Junchao and his party came down from upstairs, Lao Zhao greeted him, and the young man in the police uniform shook his head lightly at him and said, "I didn't find any traces of his killing." ”

Mao Junchao waved his hand, "Close." ”

Mao Linsen pulled Dang Xiaowu to hide in the dark until the police car left, and then walked out, he said to Dang Xiaowu: "I'll send you home." ”

When he arrived at the community where Xiao Wu lived, he found a place to park the car and got out of the car with her, "I have a headache, go to your place to rest for a while, okay?" ”

"Of course, I'll buy you some medicine."

"No, just drink some hot water and lie down for a while."

"Oh," she said, holding his arm weakly, "and I'll help you upstairs?" ”

He was stunned, his eyes fell on the two small white and soft hands next to his arms, a little crying and laughing, the sincere worry in her eyes made him feel a little guilty, she has always been like a little white rabbit, easy to deceive.

You have to teach her well, don't trust others casually, "No, I can go by myself." ”

The two went upstairs, she used the key to open the door, went in to turn on the light, took out a pair of men's slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on the insole, Mao Linsen stood outside the door and didn't look at her busyness, only looked up carefully at the charm posted on the door frame.

Seeing that he was interested in the charm, Dang Xiaowu explained: "It was given to me by my adoptive father before he died, and I asked me to stick it on the door, and he said that he could ensure that there would be no dirty things in the house. ”

A flash of tenderness flashed in his eyes, too fast to capture. He lowered his eyes to disguise himself, and stepped through the door.

The small two-bedroom apartment, cleaned up neatly and tidy, without any superfluous things, the whole decoration is still stuck in ten years ago. Mao Linsen looked around the room, and finally his eyes rested on the two photographs hanging on the wall.

One is a group photo of a middle-aged couple, and the other is a group photo of a middle-aged man in his 50s and a girl Xiao Wu.

"That's my adoptive parents." Xiao Wu pointed to the photo of the middle-aged couple and said, "Actually, I haven't met my adoptive mother, and when Limber adopted me, my adoptive mother had already passed away." Limber was very good to me, and his situation did not meet the conditions for adopting me, but he said: You are by my side, I love you like a daughter, it doesn't matter if there is an adoption procedure or not. ”

Mao Linsen stood in front of the photo, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised, "You are very happy by his side, aren't you?" ”

"Well, it's blissful, no one knows how good he is. I was spoiled by his parents when I was bullied by my classmates at school, and I was still worried about my safety until I died. ”

Xiao Wu reached out and touched Lin Bo in the photo, Mao Linsen's face was reflected in the glass frame, and that hand seemed to touch his face.

"What does it matter if you can grow up next to someone who loves you, whether you are an orphan or not?"

"That's right," Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, "Brother Lin, you go and lie down on the sofa for a while, I'll talk to myself, I'll go boil some boiling water." ”

Mao Linsen sat down on the sofa, but he was thinking about how to explain to Xiao Wu what happened tonight.

Soon Xiao Wu came over with a cup of hot water in both hands, "Brother Lin, aren't you going to lie down for a while?" ”

"I'm fine." He took a sip of hot water, sat Xiao Wu down, and asked her, "Do you think today's events are strange?" ”

"Did you say that auntie jumped off the building?"

"Yes."

"That aunt doesn't seem to know that she did the jumping off the building."

"Oh? You talk about it. ”

"After her soul came out of her body, it took a while to find out that she was dead, and she was very surprised, she was very sad, is it true that all souls are like this?"

"Those who are dying or bedridden for a long time will not be surprised when they die, they know that it is a necessary process, and only sudden accidental death will be like that."

"But that aunt jumped off by herself, which can be regarded as suicide, how can she still be surprised by her own death? Didn't she know that jumping from the stairs would die? ”

"There's a possibility that she didn't know it when she jumped, that her mind was being controlled."

"Hypnosis?"

"Or," Mao Linsen stared at Dang Xiaowu and said word by word, "Being put on the body." ”
