Chapter 4: Cousin, I'm Out
"Haha, it turned out to be Officer Tan, do you have anything to do with me at this point?"
Chen Shu smiled awkwardly.
This voice was very familiar to him, it was the voice of one of the middle-aged policemen who came to ask him about the situation before.
The reason why he didn't want to call the police at night was because he was afraid of trouble.
Sure enough.
Want to get a good night's sleep?
I'm sorry, but I'll talk about it after cooperating with the matter first.
"It's about that little sister just now."
On the other end of the phone, Officer Tan explained his intentions.
"After we took her back to the police station, she refused to speak, refused to say where she lived, what her parents' names were, and seemed to have a lot of resistance to us or to go home, and didn't want us to send her back."
"That's ......"
After listening to what Officer Tan said, Chen Shu frowned slightly, he had also thought about this situation.
When he asked the girl if she wanted to help call her family, the girl ignored him like this.
Wait, what does it matter to me that she doesn't want to go home?
Called me at half past five in the morning, and you just wanted to talk to me about it?
Chen Shu's temples jumped, and his blood pressure suddenly went up.
Officer Tan didn't know about Chen Shu's crazy complaints, he continued: "The policewoman on our side saw that she was hungry, so she bought her some food first, and after chatting for a while, the little sister was finally willing to say a few words. ”
Speaking of this, Officer Tan's tone was a little weird.
"She said, she's your cousin, and she went to your house to look for you, but you didn't let her in, and she didn't know where to go at night, so she could only squat at your door."
"We asked her later, she does know your name and home address, she said that your hometown lives in Yuxi Town, Fucheng, and now you are studying at Fran University, a senior in college, we asked her what else she knows, and she said that you also have a very beautiful white cat, what is it called Miao Miao."
Chen Shu was directly stunned by Officer Tan's words.
Cousin?
How did I not know I had such a cousin?
The most important thing is that it is really right.
is not only the address of the school and hometown, but the most outrageous thing is that even the name of the cat he raised is Miao Miao, and she knows it.
Is it really his cousin? He hadn't known this girl for long, and it had only been a few hours since now, otherwise she would have no reason to know this.
Chen Shu is now half convinced.
The main thing is that cousins are also divided into far and near, and the closest ones must be the children of their parents, brothers and sisters, who usually string relatives and know each other.
Far away is the granddaughter of his grandfather's brothers and sisters, who rarely see each other once in several years, and this kind of cousin is not only numerous, but he really doesn't know a few.
This is very much in line with his impression of a girl.
It's basically impossible to have a cousin, unless it's an illegitimate daughter that my uncles accidentally got out of drinking outside.
“……”
Why do you suddenly think that with the virtues of his uncles, this possibility seems quite large?
Of course, it is still the most likely to be a distant cousin, their small place, as long as it is related to the family, who doesn't know that he goes to school in Star City.
And his parents knew that he lived in this community, after all, the house in Star City was bought in full, and half of the money in it was paid by them.
It wasn't her parents who told her I lived here, right?
It seems that this is the only possibility that is possible.
But Chen Shu always felt that something was wrong.
But I can't quite say what the problem is.
"That's right."
Officer Tan didn't know what Chen Shu was thinking at this time, he suddenly thought of something, and said with some amusement: "When she told us this, Mandarin was a little bumpy, and the pronunciation sounded strange, it felt like she had just come back from abroad, so she was not very familiar with Mandarin." ”
"But none of this matters, now I'm calling, mainly to ask if the information she said is correct?"
Mandarin bumps?
Like you've just returned from abroad?
Chen Shu didn't think too much about it.
Now it is quite common for ordinary people to study abroad, they usually live abroad, and now it is normal to return to China and speak Mandarin badly, Chen Shu can suddenly understand why the other party has not spoken all the time when he asked the girl a question, and only said "I'm hungry".
Dare to love is not good in Chinese.
"She said that information was true."
Chen Shu said.
"If that's right, it's your cousin. And I have another question, why did you not allow her to enter the house when she came to look for you, but also did not choose to call the police or notify the other party's parents, but let her, an underage girl, spend the night in the hallway? Don't you know that it's not safe? ”
Officer Tan's tone became a little subtle.
When he passed, he had already checked the surveillance video, and he saw that Chen Shu was giving the girl a mobile phone and cash, and he looked like he wanted to send people away quickly.
Although when recording the confession, Chen Shu said that it was a kind act of his own hand, but it is not excluded that he recognized that this was his cousin, but he didn't want to answer, so he deliberately pretended not to know the possibility.
After all, when you meet in Pingshui, no one will give someone you don't know a mobile phone and a few hundred yuan, right?
Money doesn't come in the wind.
Faced with Officer Tan's suspicions, Chen Shu hurriedly retorted: "No, officer! Don't get me wrong! I really didn't know she was my cousin, and she didn't even tell me about it when she came over. ”
"It's the first time I've met her today, if she had identified herself earlier, how could I have not let her into the house?"
Although Chen Shu didn't understand why he had an inexplicable "foreign" cousin he didn't know, the information that the girl said was indeed right.
However, a distant cousin who came back from school abroad......
Chen Shu couldn't help but hesitate, both of his parents were big families with many relatives, not to mention his mother's side, there were eight brothers and sisters in his father's grandfather's generation alone.
Grandpa's generation is a little less, but there are also seven brothers and sisters, and there are fewer in my father's generation, only four, plus the marriage age on their side is generally relatively early, and there are more children, so if you count it, there are really many peers in his generation.
Anyway, every Chinese New Year or something, he really doesn't know a large group of younger brothers and sisters, anyway, he doesn't know what their names are, at most he feels familiar, and he can only rely on the parents who brought them to identify who they are.
But it's useless to be familiar, it is said that the eighteen changes of the female university, and the children now grow up fast, and they are all springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a change every year, maybe the younger brothers and sisters who were familiar last year have changed greatly this year.
In addition, he didn't specifically write these down, after all, it's useless to remember them, the girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old, I don't know if they did meet when they were relatives a few years ago, but because it has changed too much now, he didn't recognize it.
And the other party has been staying abroad before, and in the case of rarely returning to China, he doesn't know that he has such a distant cousin, it seems to be quite normal, right?
"By the way, Officer Tan, can I ask my cousin what her name is?"
After thinking about it, Chen Shu asked Officer Tan.
"Name?"
Officer Tan hesitated, a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, to be honest, we don't know what her name is now, it's not like we haven't asked, it's just that she won't say this little sister, it's impossible for us to force her to open her mouth with strong means, right?"
“……”
Chen Shu covered his face silently.
You don't even know people's names?
At this moment, Chen Shu felt that the policemen's compulsion was instantly shattered.
Fortunately, Officer Tan also knew that it was embarrassing to answer like this, so he coughed lightly: "You wait a minute, I'll ask again." ”
The phone did not hang up, and Chen Shu could vaguely hear the indistinct voice over there.
After a minute or two, Officer Tan's voice came back from his phone, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"She said that her name is Wu Qiao, Wu of Koutian Wu, and Qiao of chocolate, do you have any impression?"
Wu Qiao?
Chen Shu was at a loss.
I've never heard of it.
Now it was Chen Shu's turn to be embarrassed.
"Not impressed."
"But my mother's surname is also Wu, and she has the same surname, so she should be a relative of my mother's side, and I will call my mother to ask about the situation when it is dawn......"
After Chen Shu learned the other party's name, he still didn't have any impression, and Officer Tan didn't think it was strange that he had expected it.
Today's children are very indifferent to relatives, so they say that their own sons, every time they go to a New Year's festival or something, they also bow their heads and play with their mobile phones, and they don't talk to each other, let alone contact feelings, which will take a few years to get to know, then there is really a ghost.
But none of that matters, as long as the key information can be corrected.
In this way, this can also explain why this girl would run to the door of Chen Shu's house at night and know his personal information again.
"You young people now, it's really time to move around more, don't always hold a mobile phone to play when you have a party, don't come to the door next time the old watch comes to the door, but because you don't know each other, this kind of thing happens again."
Since it was basically determined that the girl was a relative of Chen Shu's mother, Officer Tan continued to talk about Wu Qiao's situation.
"Also, there is one thing we want to say, your cousin is very vigilant, at first we thought it was because of her personality, but when our policewoman was talking to her, she found some wounded scars on her body."
When he said this, Officer Tan's tone couldn't help but become a little serious.
"Scars?" Chen Shu was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes, but fortunately, the injury is not particularly serious, just some skin trauma, we guess it may be that she has a conflict with the family, which caused her to run away from home at night."
"It's also because of the relationship between her original family, which makes her personality not very talkative, and she doesn't trust everyone and even us police, but she didn't have a mobile phone and no money after she ran away from home, and she didn't know where to go at night, so she ran to you who were relatively close in age."
But it's not, I didn't wear shoes at night, I didn't bring my mobile phone, I didn't care who my parents were and where they lived, I ran out in a skirt, I couldn't say that I couldn't run away from home.
Unfortunately, they did not receive the alarm call from the child who was missing, and it can only be said that the current parents are really big-hearted.
The policeman couldn't help but shake his head.
"Are you free now?"
"Huh?"
Chen Shu, who didn't know what to think, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Officer Tan's words.
The policeman was speechless.
"Ahhhh This is your cousin, not an outsider, since she doesn't want to go home for the time being, then you can answer it first, and then you can ask your mother for her parents' phone number when it is dawn, and ask them to come and pick up someone. ”
"Hurry up and come to the police station to pick her up, we have been handling the case since yesterday evening in the middle of the night, and we have no time to rest at all, and we people's police are also human beings, and we also need to rest, and now we are sleepy and sleepy."
On the phone, Officer Tan yawned full of resentment.
"After you go back, you usually remember to take more care of your sister, she is still young, it is normal to be rebellious and ignorant, but when the parents are so old, they are not sensible, and they don't even understand the simple truth that beating and scolding children can't solve the problem......"
After obediently listening to Officer Tan's education and complaints, Chen Shu hung up the phone.
Chen Shu sighed, a little helpless.
What is going on?
Everyone else likes to be a father.
And on the night his girlfriend broke up with him, he was inexplicably happy to be a brother.
Chen Shu inexplicably came up with the extremely demonic Guangxi Supu sentence in his mind:
"I'm out of the table pot~"
