Chapter 241: Funeral Parlor Turmoil (1)
I dragged Pei Jingyao around at the entrance of this shopping mall, and I even asked Pei Jingyao to find the women's toilet, but there was still nothing.
Could it be that the moment just now was an illusion? No, it can't be, I just actually saw him...... It's just a matter of a moment, how can it be gone?
"What do you see?" Pei Jingyao took my hand and said as she looked around with my gaze.
The cold sweat on my forehead fell instantly, and I bit my lip hard, and then said flatly, "No...... It's nothing...... Let's go shopping. ”
That afternoon, I accompanied her in this shopping mall with a nervous mood, not to mention that I am a turtle, I really haven't even entered the mall, after all, when I was studying, it was either a library or an Internet café, after graduation, I was even more busy, so what Nike, Adi, basically bought online, fifty-eight yuan a pair, free shipping, Tong Su is not bullied, and the quality is OK.
Pei Jingyao suddenly pulled me to a store in Adi and personally picked out a pair of bright red running shoes for me, and this running shoe Nima looked like a women's model.
"Hello Miss, do you need me to help you?" The waiter at the specialty store walked past us, with a sweet smile on his face as he walked.
"Are there any men's shoes for you?" Pei Jingyao took the pair of red sneakers in her hand, shook it in front of the waiter, and said.
At this time, my phone suddenly rang, and it was an unfamiliar landline number, I thought about it, put the phone to my ear, and said, "Hey, hello." ”
"Hello, we are here at the Chengnan Police Station, may I ask, are you the gentleman who just called our police officer at the funeral home?" It was a man who spoke, and it sounded like he was supposed to be from the police station.
I glanced at Pei Jingyao, then walked out of the store and said in a deep voice into the microphone: "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Do you think it's inconvenient for you to come to the police station now?" The man continued.
"Ye Ze, what's wrong, come and try on shoes......" At this time, Pei Jingyao walked out of the store and saw that I was on the phone, and halfway through this, she was silent.
If you don't say that the daughter-in-law I chose knows the general situation, I nodded and smiled at Pei Jing, and then said into the microphone: "Okay, is the Chengnan Police Station right?" I'll come over now. ”
After putting down the phone, I shook my phone helplessly at Pei Jingyao, and said apologetically: "Yaoyao, I may not be able to go shopping with you today, but I promise that I will accompany you again next week, and Ang, don't blame me for not reminding you, couples send shoes to each other, but the meaning of sending each other away, you are really not afraid of me leaving?" ”
She glanced at me and said angrily: "Okay, let's go if you want to go, so many words, I bought you the shoes." ”
I nodded sheepishly, then turned and walked out of the mall.
In this way, the promised one-day slave journey came to an end, and when I arrived at the police station, the man who had beaten the child just now was coming out of it, and as he walked, he muttered in a low voice: "Little crumb, the old man is dead, look at who in the family still dares to cover you, and if you have the ability, you will never go back to this home." ”
When he walked past me, he glared at me viciously, gritted his teeth and said to me Let me wait, this kid, do you really think you are in the underworld?
But the strange thing is that he left the police station alone, what about the child? Did he just leave him at the police station? Damn, what this uncle did is too irresponsible, right?
"Hello, you just called me here." I walked to a small house on the left side of the police station and asked a policeman.
He looked at me and said, "You're the one who did the right thing at the funeral home, right?" Come, come with me......"
I was slightly stunned, looking at the look on his face, it didn't look like he was going to set me up, so I followed him closely until we walked into a lounge and saw the little boy who had just been beaten by his uncle at the funeral home......
Now embarrassed, the policeman next to me looked at me as if he didn't have anything, and then asked me suspiciously: "This kid ...... Is it yours? ”
I'll go, his brain is also a little big, at my age, even if I am super developed, I can't give birth to such a big child, so I hurriedly waved my hand and said to him: "No, no, no, it's not me, comrade policeman, what are you kidding, I'm only twenty-four years old this year, where did my eldest son come from......"
"Uncle, take me away, I don't want to follow my uncle, I want to go back, he will kill me......" The child hugged my legs tightly and didn't let go, the look on his face was like grasping the last straw.
I glanced at the policeman next to me, then patted the little guy's head and said softly, "Little guy, tell uncle, what's your name?" ”
He raised his head, snorted vigorously, and whispered: "Uncle, my name is Wei Lin, my whole family is dead, can you have me, I won't make trouble for you, I will serve you like a father, and when you are old, I will give you a pension and send you to the end, you want me......"
I frowned slightly, looked up in surprise at the police officer next to me for a long time, I couldn't imagine how scared a child of this kind would be in the police station, in front of two strangers, how afraid he was to go back.
"What do you say, what do you mean your whole family is dead? Just now I saw at the funeral home that there are so many relatives in your mourning hall, why are they all dead? I continued.
After I finished saying this, he immediately said stubbornly: "No, my family only has my parents and grandfather, my parents are dead, only grandfather is the best for me, but now even grandpa is dead, uncle, I recognize you as a father, I will do laundry, if I can, I will study hard, and I will never disappoint you in the future, so you can accept me." ”
I pursed my lips, and held this kid in my arms a little speechlessly, and then turned to the policeman next to me and said, "Comrade policeman, can you come with me?" Or go to that funeral home, if they don't want to accept the child, then you can give me a testimony that they voluntarily gave up custody of the child......"
"That's ...... Is it really good? After all, children can only ...... when they are around their loved ones."
"Loved ones? Leaving his parents who sheltered him, are those guys relatives? Comrade policeman, if you had seen how his uncle had whipped his ears at that time, I don't think you would have said these words, I am not in the limelight, on the contrary, it may be better to leave them, even if it is to enter a welfare home, than to return to that cold home. I turned around and interrupted the policeman's words, looked at his embarrassed expression, and said in a deep voice.
I'm not in the limelight, nor am I having a senseless sense of justice, a sense of justice...... I still don't know what this thing is, I just think that a child who has lost his parents, no matter how much care he gives, he can't make up for it, not to mention that when his uncle was smoking him, none of the people in their mourning hall were blazing, and some even picked up their mobile phones to shoot small videos, and I was annoyed when I remembered that scene.
"That'...... Let's try it, but the main purpose is to send the child back, so let's talk about it if we can. The policeman picked up the brimmed hat from the sofa next to him and walked out with me as he spoke.
And on the way there, this kid kept holding me, for fear that I would throw him directly to his uncle, I actually knew in my heart that with his uncle's attitude just now, he would never let this kid go back, but there is one thing I haven't forgotten, when his uncle just beat him in the funeral home, he was still asking where the money went, that is, at least part of the old man's money is on this child, so even if they rob it, they will rob the child.
