Chapter 1: Bad News Arrives

When I woke up, it was evening, the sky outside was gloomy, and I stayed up all night last night, and it seems that I can't go online tonight, for three days in a row, and I have a terrible headache.

Wu Liang, a 28-year-old "aspiring" young man who has no house or car, has been working in CD City for three years, but it is whimsical to buy a house in CD with his meager salary, even in the suburbs.

I thought I wouldn't be surfing the Internet, but my body was honest, and the first thing I did when I got up, turned on the computer, put on the music, and the beautiful melody came out of the depressing room, and I was finally a little angry.

Wu Liang flipped through the rummags, and the instant noodles he bought had already been eaten, which gave him a reason to have to go downstairs.

It's okay, I haven't been out for two or three days, and it's all moldy. Thinking like this, Wu Liang left the room and was about to open the door to go out, the door opened from the outside, and a tall beauty stood at the door, still holding the key in her hand, and was stunned when she saw Wu Liang, Wu Liang smiled and nodded as a greeting, the beauty did not appreciate it, smiled contemptuously, bypassed Wu Liang, and stepped back to the room in high heels.

"Forget it, for the sake of the beauty, I don't care about you." Wu Liang comforted himself, but Wu Liang looked at himself, wearing a vest, big pants and slippers, a typical dick silk dress, no wonder the eyes of the beautiful woman just now were wrong.

This house is a 4-bedroom apartment, and the beauty just now is also one of the tenants, counting Wu Liang, a total of 6 people live here, and the other two rooms, one is a small couple, and the other is a middle-aged couple, although they are under the same roof, but there is no communication.

At this time, it is already September, the summer has basically passed, the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, and it is still a little eye-catching for Wu Liang to walk on the road in this outfit at night, but Wu Liang doesn't care much about other people's eyes, maybe he has hit too much recently, and his mental state is not very good.

After eating fried rice and buying enough dry food at the supermarket, Wu Liang was ready to go home and continue to be his best otaku.

Back in the room, put things on the bed Wu Liang went to wash his face, after receiving the water, Wu Liang held his left hand and right hand twisted the handkerchief and was wiping his face, he heard the mobile phone ringing in the room, as soon as he heard the mobile phone ringtone, Wu Liang inexplicably had a very irritable mood in his heart, and just finished washing his face patiently, the mobile phone ringtone stopped.

In less than 5 seconds, the bell rang again, and the piercing bell also made a noise to the little couple next door, who were hammering the door in protest.

"Hammer hair, did you say anything about making such a big move at night?" Wu Liang, who was already depressed, lost his voice when the little couple howled.

Wu Liang felt a little strange holding the basin, what is wrong with today, inexplicably so irritable, if he usually wouldn't be so angry, suddenly the door of the beautiful woman's room opposite opened, and the beauty didn't go out, just gave Wu Liang a thumbs up, and then closed it again.

The beauty's move made Wu Liang feel better, it seems that the little couple is not only arguing with themselves, but the 600 month's rent is normal, and the sound insulation is not good.

Back in the room, the mobile phone ringtone continued, Wu Liang went to the bed and took the mobile phone, old pig? This kid is finally willing to call.

"Hey, old pig, why do you miss your dad and me today, why do you want to invite me to dinner with filial piety?"

Old Pig, formerly known as Zhu Yitian, one of Wu Liang's sworn friends, because of the relatively large amount of food, so he was nicknamed, Old Pig, although he hadn't seen each other for half a year, but the relationship was there, and the two were used to hurting each other before, so Wu Liang didn't have a serious one as soon as he opened his mouth, anyway, usually the two of them began to damage each other as soon as they made a phone call, and after receiving a call from Lao Pig, Wu Liang was in a better mood.

Surprisingly, the old pig did not come back as usual, and there was silence on the other end of the phone.

"What's the matter, the old pig is still pretending to be deep with me, isn't it? No matter how much you pretend to be, don't delay Lao Tzu to play the game. Hearing that there was no sound on the other end of the phone, there was a heavy panting, and Wu Liang's mood began to be irritable again.

"Ryoko, the little dragon is dead."

The old pig's words were like a thunderbolt, so frightened that Wu Liang quickly sat up, holding the phone tightly with his right hand.

"Old pig, don't make fun of your brother!"

"Ryoko, how could I lie to you about this kind of thing." There was no longer the usual hippie smile on the other end of the phone, and the voice was heavy.

"When?"

"When JC called me this afternoon, when Xiaolong's body was found, it was estimated that it had been more than seven days since he died."

"How so? How did he die? Wu Liang still couldn't believe the news.

"I don't know yet, I won't know until the autopsy report comes out, I'm already on the road now, I should be able to get to the CD at noon tomorrow, you can prepare." The old pig hung up the phone after speaking.

Wu Liang was a little sluggish, the news came too suddenly, the little dragon in the mouth of the old pig was originally named Wang Long, he was raised in an orphanage with Wu Liang Zhu Yitian, and there was also a man named Xu Chen, the four of them were like brothers, and when they grew up, the four of them developed separately, and swore that if anyone developed and took the brothers to get rich together, I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

So many things have happened in the past few days, first seven days ago, when Wu Liang was operating the machine, he accidentally cut off the little finger of his left hand due to distraction, and the broken finger was directly twisted into the machine, and there was no hope of connecting it, the boss saw that he took Wu Liang to the hospital, lost 30,000 yuan, and opened Wu Liang by the way.

It was originally a private workshop, and he didn't sign a contract, Wu Liang had no choice, he stayed in the hospital for three days and was discharged despite the doctor's objections, anyway, he couldn't pick it up, and it was not interesting to live inside, and when he returned home, his long-distance girlfriend who hadn't been in touch for a week also called to break up.

Hearing the news of his good brother's death today, this series of blows made Wu Liang almost have a nervous breakdown.

Wu Liang suddenly thought that seven days ago, he had an accident seven days ago, and when he was in the hospital, Wu Liang would be woken up by the same nightmare every two and a half in the morning, for three consecutive days, even if he returned home, so Wu Liang simply stayed up late at night and came to sleep during the day, so as to get rid of the nightmare.

Now that I think about it, could these two things be connected? Maybe it had something to do with that.

Wu Liang's thoughts returned to half a year ago.

Every year in March, the four brothers would take time out to spend a few days together, and they had always had this habit when they came out of the orphanage, and this March was no exception.

After the four of them gathered, they came to the home of the former orphanage director as usual, since the country began to set up a children's welfare home, the orphanage has been replaced, and the orphanage was also relatively remote when it was established, so the original place has long been abandoned after the orphanage was replaced.

The four of them knocked on the door with their gifts.

"Oh, come on, come in, don't buy gifts later, we'll be glad you can come." The one who opened the door was the wife of the old dean, who was also a teacher in the orphanage before, surnamed Wu, and was very kind-hearted, so the children generally called her Mother Wu.

"Mother Wu." Wu Liang and the four of them hurriedly shouted.

"Lao Chen! Lao Chen! Ryoko they are coming, hurry out. Teacher Wu took Wu Liang and them inside, and greeted the old dean in the study.

The old dean looked at the few people in front of him with a smile on his face, "Come, sit on the sofa." ”

"Dean Chen, are you in good health?"

"It's very good, alas, I've brought a baby all my life, and now I'm retired, but I have nothing to do, I read books at home every day." For the arrival of Wu Liang and the others, the old dean seemed very happy, and the old man's face looked much more energetic because of the smile.

"Lao Chen, didn't you always say that this baby was too naughty and didn't want to retire? Now that I've been retired for so many years, do I miss it again? I think you're a tired man. Teacher Wu was holding the freshly washed fruit and couldn't help but joke when he heard the old dean's words.

"Come, you're welcome, eat fruit."

I was a little embarrassed to hear these four people, to say that the four of them were the most naughty of all the children in this orphanage, and they didn't worry the old dean and his family at that time.

"We really can't hang up when you say that, you see that the four of us have caused you a lot of trouble before." It was Zhu Yitian who spoke, anyway, those who used to dig out birds' nests, steal vegetables outside, and break glass, there was no figure of him.

"It's all before, I didn't expect that among these children, you miss us the most, they come every year, some children, they haven't seen us anymore since they left the orphanage." When Mr. Wu said this, he was a little sentimental and complained.

"Well, what are you talking about? People have grown up, they have their own homes, their own lives, and they are busy! The old dean heard his wife's complaints.

"It's okay, with us, we will treat you as our parents, and we will come to see you two elders every year."

Seeing that Teacher Wu was a little sad, Wu Liang hurriedly comforted him.

When the old dean heard this, his smile was a little unnatural, and he talked softly, and he no longer spoke with a preoccupied look, and Mr. Wu was also a little unnatural.

Wu Liang and the four of them looked at each other a little, is this a mistake? Or how?

"Dean Chen, did I say the wrong thing, you know that I am stupid, if I say the wrong thing, you must not take it to heart."

"Yes, yes, Dean Chen, Mother Wu, you know that Wu Liang has not been very good at talking since he was a child, don't be angry." Zhu Yitian saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly helped explain.

"That's not the case, it's..."Teacher Wu saw that they had misunderstood, and just opened his mouth and looked at the old dean, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

The old dean glanced at Teacher Wu and nodded at him, "Go and take it out." ”

Teacher Wu listened, turned around and walked towards the study, and after a while, there was the sound of opening the drawer.

Now Wu Liang and the others were completely stunned, what happened to the old dean, the two of them, they were mysterious.
