Darkness (7)
Chen Dong drove the car to a claustrophobic alley, observed that there were no pedestrians around, turned off the car, and turned off the lights in the car.
"Did you mention Zhang Sheng just now?" Chen Dong looked at the frightened appearance of the child, but he was still skeptical.
The boy was intimidated by the long hair just now, and the wine was almost sober, and when he heard Chen Dong's question, his head shook like a sieve, and while he was unprepared, he pulled the car door and ran down, running all the way in Chen Dong's voice, and finally disappeared into the black alley.
Chen Dong looked at the dark alley, his heart was also at a loss, the child's words were like stuffing a ton of explosives into his originally closed head, as the lead ignited little by little, many points that he didn't care about or ignored before surfaced in his mind, making him more and more uneasy the more he thought about it.
After restarting the car, he did not go home, but went to the place where Zhang Sheng lived before, and he had been here when they had played together before, and when he saw him again, there was basically no change from his memory.
He parked the car in a vacant lot behind several buildings, and wanted to go up and take a turn, but before he could go down, he saw a few familiar figures, scolding all the way over, and the leader in front was the object of Changmao's scolding on the phone today.
Chen Dong was glad that the location where he parked was remote enough, and the car had turned off its lights, and they did not find themselves, passing through the dark street, and the group disappeared into the night.
He waited in the car for a few more minutes before getting down, and after a few steps he almost tripped over the can bottles and various beer bottles under his feet, and he took out his phone and turned on the flashlight, and barely managed to get out of this way.
According to his previous memory, he found the building of Zhang Sheng's house, and found that there were only a few lights on on it, and the row of Zhang Sheng's house was basically dark, and it looked like no one had lived in it for a long time.
Chen Dong found the dark doorway with the light of his mobile phone, and the voice-activated lights inside lit up a few times with the sound of his footsteps, but the light was dim, and he could only barely illuminate the steps under his feet.
Chen Dong had just climbed a floor, and an aunt carrying something came down from above, and almost bumped into him unexpectedly, screaming, so frightened that Chen Dong took two steps back, and said sorry repeatedly.
"Here it is again, here it is again, day by day, so that you are almost nervous breakdown......" The aunt looked at him in shock, took the garbage in her hand and continued to walk down, and continued to chant indignantly as she walked: "I don't know if Mr. Zhang has poured blood mold for several lifetimes, son, grandson, there is no one who saves trouble......"
Chen Dong listened to her go away, and continued to walk up, and when he arrived at the floor of Zhang Sheng's house, he found that the lighting in the corridor there was damaged, so he had to rely on the flashlight of his mobile phone to identify them one by one, and when he walked to the third or fourth door, he stopped, the lock on the door had already been removed, and the door was also hidden.
Chen Dong pushed open the door, stepped on something under his feet, he subconsciously took a step back, took a photo of his mobile phone, it was a black quilt that was stepped on, he touched the wall for a while, and finally found the power switch, and the result was also bad.
I took my mobile phone and walked around the room carefully, and found that it seemed to have been swept by robbers, and all the drawers and cabinets were wide open, and the contents were scattered all over the floor. On the bed, the sofa was also swept away, leaving only the smooth bed board and the skeleton of the sofa without cushions.
Thinking of the group of people who came just now, Chen Dong suspected that this was their masterpiece, but he didn't know what they were trying so hard to turn over.
When she came out of Zhang Sheng's house, she met the aunt she had seen before, she was a little calmer this time, she just glanced at Chen Dong with disgust, and walked sideways.
"Auntie." Chen Dong opened his mouth to stop her, the aunt stopped a few steps away, looked back at him, vigilantly pinched his door key to open the door quickly, and then slammed the door shut, and did not forget to close the curtains after entering, completely isolating Chen Dong.
Chen Dong stood in the dark corridor for a few seconds with some embarrassment, then turned around and went downstairs, and when he looked back downstairs, he found that the aunt was observing him through the curtain crack, and when he saw him turn around, he pulled the curtain tightly.
Chen Dong has been thinking about what happened today since he went home, although he was skeptical of the boy's words, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but see Zhang Sheng's smiling face when he finally said goodbye to him. Tossing and turning until midnight, he still couldn't get up anymore, and went to the balcony alone and smoked cigarettes one after another.
Chen Dong felt that he was not a smart person, just like his father, who was always disgusted by his mother, and he had to react half a minute slower in everything. And he himself has never had any big ambitions, he just wants to find a job safely and steadily, and live every day plainly, so he didn't participate in many of the profitable businesses that Changmao told him before, and he always felt that as long as he did his duty, the trouble would be far away from him.
When he was a soldier before, he had the opportunity to be promoted to non-commissioned officer, but because he was too slow to react and didn't know how to cater to the leader's mind, he was finally swept down, but he was not annoyed, and honestly returned to his hometown with his bags. After returning home, he was counted down by his mother for several days, saying that he was brainless, he would not come, and it was not easy to find a job now, so he followed his parents to learn ramen and beg for a living in a noodle restaurant, although he was unwilling, but he did not resist.
Now, I can finally earn some money to supplement my family, do I want to make trouble for myself? Chen Dong thought about it, and took a big puff of cigarette in annoyance, and the smoke suddenly blocked the trachea, and his choked tears and snot flowed down.
Back on the bed, Chen Dong stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, recalling what Changmao scolded on the phone last night, and vaguely remembered what gold he mentioned, Buddha statues and the like, could it be that the group of people who went to Zhang Sheng's house last night to search for that thing?
He turned over, and remembered that some time ago in the monitoring room listened to a few of his security guards chatting, saying that Brother Chao has been very angry recently, as if something was lost, he was still vigilant and asked if it was lost in the building, afraid that it was his own dereliction of duty, the little security guard shook his head and said that he didn't know, it shouldn't be. Now that I think about it, I don't know if it has anything to do with what they're looking for today.
But why go to Zhang Sheng's house to find it? Is the child's words true? Zhang Sheng's death, is it really related to them? Chen Dong supported the back of his head with his hands, staring at the mottled image of the moon shadow shining on the wall with wide eyes, seeing the sky whitening little by little, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
