Chen An felt that something was wrong.

When Xia Qin swore that he had not seen the children passing by by the so-called way, he immediately realized that Xia Qin did not mean to joke and tease him, could he really be dazzled and mistaken? Think about it carefully, who would let his children play so late alone on a big winter night? Not afraid of human traffickers? Not to mention that he has lived in this place for more than two years, and basically the children in the neighborhood have an impression, but the children who passed by just now seem to have never seen it.

"Well, tomorrow I'll take a leave of absence to see the doctor come back, and I'll ask the uncles and aunts of the community housing management committee to see if they know the children I said, otherwise this matter will be too intoxicating. ”

Back at home, Chen An sat on the small sofa and thought for a long time before heading towards Xia Qin, who was about to take a bath.

"It's better to inquire, so as not to be suspicious. Xia Qin walked out of the bedroom with a change of clothes in her hand and said seriously.

"Don't say the word ghost at night. Chen An said with a heavy heart.

"Don't scare yourself, the saints have said, worship ghosts and gods and stay away. Xia Qin sighed helplessly. "It's not strange for people to hallucinate when they are mentally stimulated, don't forget that when you got out of the car before, you suddenly had anemia and almost fainted, maybe it was the after-effects that made you dazzled and mistaken for a while. ”

"Xia Qin, I don't see that you know a lot about this. Chen An looked at Xia Qindao in a slightly surprised manner.

"Nonsense, I've been working in the newspaper for almost half a year, and I haven't heard of any strange things, just some time ago, someone actually came to the newspaper office and said that he saw someone flying in the sky in the middle of the night!" Xia Qin didn't have a good breath. "I won't tell you, I'm going to take a shower. ”

Nothing was said all night.

Early in the morning, Chen Anhe and the company applied for a day off, and after getting approval, he immediately went to a well-known local hospital in Cangyang to see a doctor, and waited in line for more than two hours before it was his turn. As a result, after the doctor's examination, he was in good health and did not have the slightest problem, as for the hallucinations, the doctor only said that it was because of his recent work pressure and mental tension, and finally the doctor prescribed a few tranquilizers and sent Chen An away.

Chen An did not doubt the doctor's diagnosis, but out of self-doubt, he went to other medical centers to verify the diagnosis, and the doctors all thought that there was no problem with his body and spirit, so that Chen An really felt relieved, but the question was what happened to the child he saw last night? Hallucination? Or is it a new resident child?

"Aunt Liu, excuse me, is it convenient to inquire with you about something?"

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen An, who had finished seeing a doctor, came to the community housing management meeting near his home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Aunt Liu of the management committee filling out some reports on the desk, he knocked on the open wooden door and politely said hello.

"Oh, it turned out to be Xiao Chen, is there something wrong?" Aunt Liu immediately put down her work after seeing Chen An, and said with an amiable smile. "Don't stand there stupidly, come and sit down. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Liu. ”

Chen An thanked him and sat down in the chair at his desk.

The community housing management committee is a voluntary organization of the grassroots people, and its main role is to mediate conflicts and disputes between neighbors in the community, and the rental and sale of community houses, population registration, water, electricity and gas are also under the management of the management committee. He had volunteered to help out in the management committee for a while, so he maintained a good relationship with his uncles and aunts.

"I haven't seen you Xiao Chen for a while, you're very busy with work, right?" Aunt Liu poured Chen An a glass of water and said hello.

"Actually, it's okay, after I get familiar with the job, I will no longer be as busy as I was at the beginning, and even the work will become a lot easier. Chen Andao. On the contrary, Xia Qin's work often requires overtime to come back late. ”

"It's not easy for anyone to make a living. Aunt Liu sighed and turned to look right. "I almost forgot what I was doing, didn't you just say that you had something to ask me about?

"That's Aunt Liu, may I ask ...... you have seen" As he spoke, Chen An described the physical characteristics of the child he saw last night.

"Think about it, seven or eight years old, brown children's clothes, holding a blue and white ball in her hand......" Aunt Liu pondered for a moment. "I'm sorry Xiao Chen, I don't have any impression of this kid you said. ”

"Have any new tenants moved into our neighborhood recently?" Chen An thought for a while.

"No, if there is, there will be registration on my side. Aunt Liu said.

"Then thank you, Aunt Liu, if it's okay, I'll leave first. After Chen An finished speaking, he planned to retire.

"Well, I'll tell you if I remember something one day. Aunt Liu didn't doubt that he said directly.

Chen An, who had no gain, did not have the heart to continue to delve into it, and it was a bit worth the loss to ask for leave to be busy all day long for this matter, since the body has been confirmed to be fine, the child's matter is purely dazzling for him, so why bother himself.

After settling dinner at a nearby noodle restaurant, Chen An returned home.

Since he and Xia Qin officially went to work, they rarely ate together with each other, and the breakfast, lunch and dinner were all solved by themselves, except for rest days.

"Have you taken leave to go to the clinic today, and what is the doctor's diagnosis?"

Around seven o'clock in the evening, Xia Qin rarely didn't work overtime too late, and the first thing she did when she opened the door and saw Chen An was to ask him about his situation.

"After running for a day and going to four medical centers, the doctors have clearly diagnosed that my body is fine, now you can rest assured, right?" Chen An put down the martial arts he used for recreation, and said with a relieved smile towards Xia Qin.

"What about children?" Xia Qin asked.

"I asked Aunt Liu from the management committee, and she was also impressed by the children I said, probably because I was really wrong. Chen An sighed lightly.

"I'll just say, you must be dazzled and hallucinating. Xia Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did you get off work so early today? Do you have a clue about the gas poisoning?" Chen An deliberately or unintentionally diverted the topic.

"Guess. Xia Qin suddenly smiled mischievously.

"I don't guess. Chen An pouted.

"It's boring. Xia Qin snorted lightly, sat directly on Chen An, put her hands around his neck and said. "The gas poisoning thing has come to fruition. ”

"Huh?" Chen An was stunned for a moment. "What's the situation?"

"Didn't you listen to the radio?" said Xia Qin in surprise. "This afternoon, the police held a press conference to investigate the cause of the gas poisoning, claiming that it was a theft gang, but the specific details of the crime were not released by the police. ”

"Really?" Chen An said with some disbelief.

"The prisoners have confessed, is this still fake?" Xia Qin shrugged. And Zhou Ji seems to agree with the police's statement, in the past, he will definitely find out. ”

"It always felt like something was wrong. Chen An bluntly said what he thought.

"What's wrong? If you have any objections, you can investigate privately, but the question is who will have the heart to investigate the so-called truth and offend the police?" Xia Qin said with a bad face.

"Hey, I'll just say a few words, why do you react so much?" Chen An said strangely.

"Because I asked the same question as you, I was severely criticized by the above. Xia Qin buried her head in Chen An's arms and said aggrievedly.

"Your leader is sick, right? If you have a problem, you can't talk about it?" Chen An stood on Xia Qin's side clearly.

"This matter is very complicated, I heard from the internal senior sister that in the morning someone from the government came to talk to the president, and in the afternoon after the police held a press conference, the company exposed the gas poisoning incident. Xia Qin frowned.

"I see, it seems that the government intends to regulate public opinion. Chen An said thoughtfully.

"Well, anyway, I'm just a little intern reporter, no matter how big things are, I can't take my turn, as long as I leave work on time and pay my salary on time, I'm already satisfied. Xia Qin said a little self-defeatingly.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much. Chen An stroked Xia Qin's head and said. "Speaking of which, it looks like we haven't done it for five or six days......

"Pervert, go away!"

......

......

The next day, Chen An walked out of the house refreshed and prepared to go to work at the station, but he happened to meet Aunt Liu who came back from grocery shopping on the way.

"Xiao Chen!"

"Good morning, Aunt Liu!"

"Xiao Chen, come here. Who knew that Aunt Liu's face changed when she saw him, grabbed his arm, and mysteriously walked to the side and whispered. "Didn't you ask me about that kid yesterday? I know who he is!"

"Huh?" Chen An said in disbelief. "Is there really this kid?"

"That's right, I chatted with your Aunt Zhang about this when I was walking last night, but your Aunt Zhang said something, more than ten years ago in the summer, a couple came here with their children to rent a house, because the couple was busy with work, they usually locked their children at home, and rarely took them out to play, and then one day the child took advantage of the parents' absence at home to go out of the window to play, who knew that if he didn't pay attention, the child fell down and died, and the place where he fell to death was the building where your Aunt Zhang lived. Aunt Liu said nervously. "Did you know that there was a blue and white ball next to the kid, which was said to have been dropped by the kid to be played with......

"Shhh...... Aunt Liu, don't scare me!" Chen An said with his hair standing up in an instant.

"Xiao Chen, I said, did you really see him?" Aunt Liu said in a panicked tone. "If you really see it, Auntie advises you to go to the temple and burn incense to get rid of the evil spirit!"

"Aunt Liu, do you think it's possible, the child I saw and the child you said are not the same person?" Chen An forced to calm down and calm down.

"Whether it's safe or not, it's better to go to the temple to burn incense and ask a master to check it out. Aunt Liu persuaded. "If you get dirty, the consequences are absolutely unimaginable. ”

"Well... Well, I'll listen to Aunt Liu!"
