Not long after Li Yun left, Shi Juan's mobile phone rang.

She was startled by the ringing of her mobile phone, and when she saw the name of the caller displayed on the screen of her mobile phone, her mood fluctuated several times.

It was Shi Juan's son Zhong Chengfu who called.

Shi Juan took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and picked up the phone.

"Hey, Ah Fu......" She had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by the son on the other end of the phone.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me when something so big happened!" Zhong Chengfu said anxiously, complaining and worried.

Shi Juan pretended to be stupid and said, "Huh? What's the big deal? ”

"You're still pretending! I already know it! I saw it all on the Internet, and Aunt Xiaoshun also said it when she came back! Zhong Chengfu said angrily, "You still want to hide it from us!" ”

When Shi Juan heard her son blame, her eyes immediately turned red, and her heart soured.

The "Aunt Xiaoshun" mentioned by Zhong Chengfu is her hometown. When she came out to work, she met Xiaoshun, and after Xiaoshun's introduction, she changed from a cleaner in a company or shopping mall to a housekeeping nanny. The two of them used to be in the same housekeeping company. Shi Juan's cleaning work for Ma Jiayi was assigned by the housekeeping company. After that, she took the initiative to ask Ying to be a live-in nanny for Ma Jiayi, quit her job at another family, and also went through the company's procedures. But she was hired by Wu Jingwei as Ma Jiayi's full-time nanny and ward escort, and she had to work in the field for a long time, so she couldn't pass the company. The company also dismissed her in accordance with the articles of association.

Although they don't have to work, as soon as they are left, their photos and resumes are removed from the company's list of housekeepers. This is visible to all.

Xiaoshun specially called to care about her situation before the Chinese New Year and asked if she had found a good job.

Among the two, it was Xiaoshun who originally introduced Shi Juan into the industry, but after working over the years, Shi Juan has become higher and higher, and the assigned work is getting better and better, Xiaoshun is of course inevitably envious and jealous.

Shi Juan was very professional and did not disclose the employer's information. On that phone call, she didn't talk much about her work, and after dealing with Xiaoshun, she continued to be busy taking care of Ma Jiayi.

After the Chinese New Year, Xiaoshun contacted her again.

This time it's different.

Shi Juan was terrified all day long in this strange city, and when she heard the familiar local sound, she couldn't help crying.

“…… Let's just say that you can't just look at the money, you have to look at the character. Don't worry. When the police are done, you might as well go back to the office. Xiaoshun comforted a few words after hearing this, and there was nothing good to do.

Shi Juan recalled this, cheered up, and said to her son on the other end of the phone: "I was just left to answer some questions from the police, and they asked me something." When they're done, I'll be able to go back. Nothing serious. ”

"Mom, you're still trying to lie to me! You told Aunt Xiaoshun that you still hid it from me? I've seen the news on the Internet, the family you are doing now, surnamed Wu, their whole family is dead and has been wiped out! Can this be a trivial matter? If it's really a trivial matter, the police will ask you a few words and let you go. Zhong Chengfu said anxiously, "Where are you now?" Tell me where you are now! Where do you live now? Where did you rent a house? ”

Shi Juan couldn't hold it back again, and her throat swallowed even more, "I live in a guest house, a hotel I live in, just a hotel here, it's good, the police helped arrange it." Don't worry. It's really fine. Something happened to him at home, and it had nothing to do with me. I'm just a babysitter. I don't know anyone in his family. And ah, it's not the destruction of the door, there are people alive. I'm fine. ”

Zhong Chengfu was impatient to entangle this issue with Shi Juan again, and asked for the address again.

“…… Don't come here. You've got to go to work. There are so many things to do at home......"

"You're like this, how do I get to work? How can I still be in the mood to go to work? The cat is also always crying and clamoring for grandma. If you don't let me come, then let Dad come. ”

"No, no! Don't tell your dad! He had high blood pressure and was anxious to hear this. Shi Juan hurriedly said.

"You know he's in a hurry, huh? You give me the address, and I'll go and see it, so reassuring. You're alone over there, you can't do anything, can you? I can help somewhat. I've asked a friend, you don't have to stay there all the time in this situation. You don't know anything, just sit and wait for the police to release you. If the police don't lock you up, there's nothing you can't let go. ”

"Then I, then I'll talk to the police......" Shi Juan said hesitantly.

She has been soulless since Chinese New Year's Eve, and whoever arranges her to do something, she will do it honestly. Before she listened to Wu Jingwei's words, Wu Jingwei disappeared, and after the police appeared, she listened to the police. It's just that her mental state during this period of time is extremely poor, and she only listened to what she wanted to hear from the police, and her mind was full of thoughts about this tragic death, but she forgot where she should go.

"You'd better let me come. You tell me the address. Zhong Chengfu urged, and there was more tiredness in his tone.

Shi Juan hesitated again and again and said, "Don't ask for leave." You're ...... Just come over on the weekend. It's not a big deal. It's really nothing big on my side. Living here, no one asks me for money. I ......"

"Alright, I'll buy a ticket later." Zhong Chengfu said decisively.

"Plane tickets are expensive. The high-speed rail ...... here," Shi Juan said.

"Don't worry about that. You wait over there, I'll call you when I arrive. Don't run around. ”

Shi Juan nodded, and then thought that she was on the phone now, so she hurriedly agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Juan felt a little down-to-earth and relieved.

Zhong Chengfu didn't let Shi Juan wait too long.

He only explained to his wife, brought his documents and money, and bought the latest plane ticket to fly directly to his destination. After getting off the plane, he took another taxi and rushed to the hotel as fast as he could.

When Shi Juan heard the knock on the door, she was still thinking about who was outside, and she was nervous. I leaned over to the cat's eye and saw Zhong Chengfu's dusty face, so I hurriedly opened the door in surprise.

"Ah Fu, you're here so soon!" Shi Juan pulled Zhong Chengfu into the room, and said distressedly, "Don't worry." There's really nothing on my side. I'll just stay ......."

Zhong Chengfu looked Shi Juan up and down, then looked at the cramped hotel room and the luggage piled on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

What is "nothing"?

Zhong Chengfu knows his mother's habits best. She used to love cleanliness, and after doing cleaning and housekeeping, she paid more attention to this aspect. Now, Shi Juan's hair is messy, her clothes are wrinkled, and she looks like she hasn't been properly cleaned for several days. The luggage and room were not packed.

"You are really ......," Zhong Chengfu said helplessly, "Why don't you tell us?" It's hard to say it over there, but I can always say it, right? You and Aunt Xiaoshun can talk so much, so don't talk to your family. I still have to listen to Aunt Xiaoshun, and I don't know how many words she said are true or false. Doesn't that worry me more? ”

Shi Juan is usually a very assertive and outgoing person, but after this period of tossing, she also lost her heart, and in the face of her son's complaints, she just explained resignedly: "I originally thought it would be over soon, nothing serious......

"With so many people dead, can it be a big deal? There was a lot of noise on the Internet. I think it's okay over here...... The place where the accident occurred was sealed, and I heard that the car was not allowed to approach. You too. You're glad the police helped keep it secret, otherwise those reporters and people watching the excitement would definitely find you. Aunt Xiaoshun's son was found by the reporter. Fortunately, I only found it on the Internet, and this time there was a lot of news on the Internet, and there were neighbors, classmates, and employees of the deceased everywhere...... Their family was timid and scared, so they didn't give an interview, otherwise ......"

Shi Juan didn't take these into account. She asked worriedly, "Is it serious?" I thought...... I thought there would be no news out there. How can this kind of thing be so fanfare...... I just told the police and Xiaoshun ......"

"It's not the same time it used to be. If there is anything, it will be posted on the Internet as soon as possible. Zhong Chengfu said impatiently, feeling that he couldn't explain these things to Shi Juan.

"That's right......" Shi Juan didn't know what to say.

"Let's go get something to eat first, and then I'll accompany you to the police station here and ask when you can go." Zhong Chengfu said, and asked again, "How did you eat recently?" ”

"There's a noodle shop downstairs." Shi Juan's three meals a day these days are basically solved in a small restaurant near the hotel, but thinking that her son has come all the way, she proposed, "I heard that there is a pork rib restaurant here that is particularly delicious." The doctors and nurses in the hospital would drive there to drink the pork rib soup. ”

As soon as the words were spoken, Shi Juan felt some strange feelings in her heart.

This is still something she knew when she accompanied Ma Jiayi and listened to those doctors and nurses chatting. She was unfamiliar with the place and had not particularly investigated the situation in this strange city. It's just that in the face of her son, she instinctively wants to give him the best.

"Don't bother." Zhong Chengfu was not in the mood, "Let's finish eating down and go to the police station." Let's get this in order. You can't stay here either. When you get home, take a good shower and get some sleep. If it's early, we'll buy a plane ticket home tomorrow. ”

"The plane ticket is expensive......" Shi Juan subconsciously objected.

"It's off-season, and there's not much money. You don't want to save this money. Zhong Chengfu pulled Shi Juan and walked out.

The two went downstairs, snorted and ate two bowls of noodles, filled their hunger, and prepared to go to the police station.

“…… How do I get to the police station here? What is your name? Zhong Chengfu took out his mobile phone and prepared to call a taxi.

Shi Juan said: "It's just a walk here, it's very close, it's only ten minutes to walk." ”

Zhong Chengfu put away his phone when he heard this, "Okay, let's go." ”

As soon as the two came out of the noodle shop, they saw Ma Jiayi's parents coming out of the hotel.

Shi Juan recognized each other, but the middle-aged couple walked with their heads down and shuffling their feet, and they didn't see Shi Juan's mother and son at all.

Zhong Chengfu was not a meticulous person, and he didn't notice Shi Juan's sudden unnatural expression.

After Shi Juan was a few steps behind, he turned around and asked, "Do you want to cross the street?" Why are you walking so slowly? Leg discomfort? ”

Shi Juan hurriedly shook her head and walked a few steps quickly, "Don't cross the street, turn around here." ”

Zhong Chengfu was anxious, and while turning his head, he didn't stop.

Ma Jiayi's parents never looked up, nor did they notice Zhong Chengfu.

As soon as Shi Juan's words fell, she saw them bumping together.

"Ouch! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Zhong Chengfu hurriedly grabbed Ma Jiayi's parents, "Are you okay?" ”

Ma Jiayi's father just stumbled, and her mother was unstable, sitting back on her buttocks, but fortunately she was grabbed by Zhong Chengfu with one hand, so she didn't fall on her buttocks.

Zhong Chengfu also didn't expect the other party to look so weak and unexpected, so he was suddenly startled, and asked repeatedly, "Are you okay?" It didn't hurt, did it? ”

Shi Juan caught up, but she was standing next to Zhong Chengfu and couldn't say a word.

When she faced Ma Jiayi's parents, she was always in a tangled mood and confused in her head. She was the only eyewitness to Ma Jiayi's entire change, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, she used her mobile phone to call Ma Jiayi's parents.

After Ma Jiayi's parents heard the bad news from the police, they slowed down for several days before remembering what happened on Chinese New Year's Eve and called Shi Juan's mobile phone back. Shi Juan didn't answer that call. The phone number was blacklisted by her, and she immediately deleted the two communication records on Chinese New Year's Eve. Ma Jiayi's parents also reported this to the police as a major clue, hoping that the police could solve the case. Afterwards, of course, it was over.

Shi Juan didn't know what the police told Ma Jiayi's parents. The police only reminded her not to provoke the victim's family, and asked her if she wanted to change her residence.

Shi Juan didn't know what she thought, so she refused directly at that time.

She lives on the same floor of the same hotel as Ma Jiayi's parents, and from time to time she can see them walking past the door, walking out of the hotel, or hobbling back from outside.

Shi Juan could probably guess where they went in and out every day. If they go to eat, they will soon come back with some dry food such as steamed buns; If they go to the police station, there will be police officers to send them back; Then there is the funeral shop, Shi Juan has seen them buy several large bags of tin foil and ingots, this morning, they went out with those things and came back empty-handed, and they don't know where to burn paper for Ma Jiayi.

Shi Juan also occasionally heard crying.

The crying was muffled, not because they were crying suppressed, but because they were separated by two rooms, and their voices became indistinct.

Two days ago, the guests who lived in the middle of their two rooms were so angry that they banged on the door and scolded. Ma Jiayi's parents' doors were not opened. Later, it was the waiter at the hotel who came up and settled the dispute.

This middle-aged couple is like the walking dead, their lives are only left with their deceased daughter, and everything else can't get into their ears or eyes.

Zhong Chengfu asked several times, but he didn't get an answer from Ma Jiayi's parents, and he couldn't help but doubt their sanity.

After the husband and wife stood firmly, they broke away from Zhong Chengfu's hand, bypassed Zhong Chengfu, and continued to move forward.

Zhong Chengfu wondered: "Is your brain bad?" Both of them have bad brains, and no one at home is watching, which is very dangerous. ”

Shi Juan was silent for a while, and replied, "They are the parents of that little girl." ”

Zhong Chengfu was puzzled.

"It's the one I work for." Shi Juan said, "What did Xiaoshun tell you? ”

"Oh, that...... Little Three. Zhong Chengfu said the last two words, lowered his voice, and glanced at Ma Jiayi's parents who had already crossed the road.

"Hmm. It's her parents. Shi Juan said.

"That's right. is a good person, being a junior for a rich man, and tossing himself in. Zhong Chengfu shook his head.

Shi Juan wanted to speak and stopped.

She felt that Ma Jiayi was the source of the whole thing, and Wu Jingwei's family may have been tossed in by Ma Jiayi, not the other way around.

Zhong Chengfu glanced at Shi Juan, "Ignore them." Let's go. Hurry up and get this in order, and we'll go home. ”

Shi Juan nodded and gave up telling Zhong Chengfu about those terrifying things.

There's no need to say that kind of thing to your son. It was enough for her to be scared on her own.
