Chapter 14
Fifteen minutes later, a young locksmith in his twenties walked out of the elevator.
After receiving the call, he came downstairs, and then advanced the elevator, and the elevator on the first floor automatically came up by pressing the row button on the upper floor.
As soon as he came out, he saw a little chubby boy standing in the doorway, with a cute look on his face, and a flashlight in his hand illuminated.
"Why is it so dark?"
"The sensor light on this floor is broken."
"Oh. Kid, you called me just now and said you wanted to open the lock, right? β
On the phone just now, Chubby said that he had lost his key and his father would come back very late, so he asked him to save him.
"This can't be done, children, according to the regulations of the Public Security Bureau, you must see the owner's ID card to open the lock."
"But, brother," Chubby was about to cry, "if you don't help me, there will be no one to help me." β
"Didn't you say your dad would be back later?"
"I lied to you. He often didn't come home at night. β
"Often?"
"Hmm. I could only sleep alone. β
"Gee, what's your dad's phone number? I'll teach him a lesson. β
"I called, and he turned it off."
"It's not...... What about your mother? β
"My mom ran away from home." Chubby finally cried, "She doesn't want me anymore." β
"Yo, don't cry, don't cry," the young man took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to Hu Jun, "come, take it." Don't worry, with my brother here, don't be afraid. β
"Brother, can you open this lock?"
The young locksmith smiled.
"Piece of cake. And voila. Use your flashlight to help me shine a light. β
With that, he crouched down, opened the toolbox, took out the tools, and began to unlock the lock. He often comes to this community, and it is easy for him to open such a lock. In less than two minutes, the door opened.
"Alright. Isn't it, I said it all, a piece of cake. β
"Thank you, uncle. How much? β
"No need......"
"Yes. My dad said to respect other people's labor and work. β
The young man was so moved when he heard this.
"Well, I usually charge two hundred dollars...... But the question is, are you rich? β
"I don't have it on me, but my dad does. That, brother, I have your number, you also know my phone number and address, when my dad comes back, I will ask him to call you and transfer the money to you. β
"Okay." As he spoke, the young man scratched his head, "Little friend, after entering, close the door, it's already night, and there are a lot of bad people." β
"Got it. Thank you, uncle. You're so kind. β
"Yes......" the young man smiled embarrassedly, he had never heard anyone praise him for his kindness in his life, "Okay, I'll go first."
"Bye-bye."
"Bye-bye."
With that, the locksmith entered the downward elevator.
As soon as the elevator door closed, the other three friends hiding behind the fire escape door came out.
Everyone gave the little fat man a thumbs up.
This is what the little fat man is best at, and it is also his personal super skill set: lying, acting, selling cuteness, and playing those adults around.
"Alright, it's 6:45 now, minus the time we have to get things back to their place, so we may only have an hour left."
"Then let's get inside."
"Wait." Justin stopped everyone with a look of doubt, "Is it illegal for us to enter a private house like this?" β
"What do you mean? Regretted again? β
"No, I ......"
"Don't say it. Chubby, are you still scared? β
"It's better."
"In that case, you and Justin will be replaced, let him be in charge of the lookout, and you will go in with us."
"Okay." Chubby has been wrapped in the power of his friends and begins to be eager to try.
"Xiao Jia, you hide behind the door and watch the wind, once there is any situation, you can just give us a signal. That way you don't have to trespass on your home. β
"But ......"
"Don't. We've all killed someone. Lan Xiaomei said seriously, "Compared to that, what is the value of trespassing into a private house." Besides, we are here to collect evidence of dog abuse, which can be regarded as a good deed and a good deed to eliminate harm for the people. Don't forget, we're the Justice League. β
"Don't grind, time is running out." The little fat man was in a hurry.
"Okay. From that moment on, there was no turning back. β
"Wait, I almost forgot this."
Li Weiwei took out the masks that had been prepared long ago from his backpack - they were Batman, Catwoman, Spider-Man and Wonder Woman, and distributed them to everyone to wear.
Everyone looked at each other, nodded in the faint light of the flashlight, gave each other an encouragement, and then turned off the flashlight.
"Let's go."
After speaking, Li Weiwei gently pushed open the door of 2502.
When I entered the house, I turned on the light, and the room suddenly lit up.
Faced with the messy living room, the children stood stupidly for a while, completely unsure of where to start.
Only then did they remember that although they wanted to collect evidence, they did not know what evidence to collect.
Li Weiwei likes to watch TV dramas, and she probably knows that if the police want to collect evidence of criminals, they usually collect fingerprints and DNA.
But how do you collect those things?
If the collection is successful, how can you tell that it is related to dog abuse?
Everyone pushed their masks above their heads, revealing expressions of helplessness.
"Find the murder weapon first." The little fat man Hu Fei suddenly came out with such a sentence.
He's the guy who's read Sherlock Holmes.
"Do you remember that big yellow dog? He was covered in wounds, presumably cut with a knife, and his head was smashed, to see if there was a hammer. β
Everyone looked at him in amazement, and then, without any rebuttal, began to look for him in the living room.
Five minutes later, they met again and got together.
There are few furniture and objects in the living room, and it is clear whether there is a murder weapon or not.
"Could it be that these two things aren't the same?" Lan Xiaomei said disappointedly.
"What could it be?" Li Weiwei was also very annoyed.
"Beer bottles?" Lan Xiaomei pointed to a row of empty beer bottles in the corner of the wall and said.
"Impossible." The little fat man said firmly, "It must be a knife and a hammer." β
"Are you so sure?"
"Definitely." The little fat man said, "And maybe there's blood on it." β
"Even if there is no blood, the police can find out."
Li Weiwei remembered the rebroadcast of the TVB Hong Kong drama "Forensic Record" that she watched not long ago, it was an old film, but she thought it was very good. She likes the male star named Lin Baoyi.
"Now there is that kind of identification instrument, as long as there is blood stains on the murder weapon, even if it has been cleaned, it can be detected."
"Okay." Lan Xiaomei said, "Then how do we find it next?" β
"It may be too late, so let's split up. Chubby, you check the bathroom, Xiaomei, you check the kitchen, I'll check the bedroom. Worst! Li Weiwei suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?" The other two hurriedly asked.
"We forgot to bring gloves."
"Gloves? What gloves? β
"Haven't you watched TV? Those police search evidence are all wearing gloves! β
"Why do you wear gloves?" Lan Xiaomei asked inexplicably.
"Of course, I'm afraid of leaving fingerprints!" Chubby said. "Now the house is full of our fingerprints."
"What's wrong with fingerprints? We're not bad guys, aren't fingerprints here to catch bad guys? Lan Xiaomei still doesn't understand.
Chubby and Li glanced at each other slightly, revealing speechless expressions, and then each walked towards their destination.
"Hey, why don't you explain to me what happens if you leave your fingerprints?" Lan Xiaomei said angrily, "Hmph, don't talk about it." β
With that, she walked through the kitchen door.
Justin stood behind the door of the fire escape, observing the elevator room through the glass.
The elevator hall was dark, with only the faint glow of the sign above the door frame of the fire escape.
According to everyone's discussion, he was in charge of controlling the wind, and once the pervert came back, he used his phone watch to dial Li Weiwei's mobile phone to warn him.
To be honest, he didn't understand the point of doing thisβif the man came back, wouldn't he just have them all in the house?
How will they explain it then? The only good thing is that at least he can retreat and call the grown-ups to save them.
His parents happened to be guests at Lan Xiaomei's house, and with a phone call, two adults could come to the rescue.
However, his focus is not on this now.
Ever since he saw his father get into Mr. Jin Can's car in the morning, he has been restless.
He was angry with his father and thought that he had betrayed his mother, betrayed himself, betrayed the family, and betrayed his brother or sister who had not yet come to this world.
He wanted to tell his mother everything he saw, but after a long hesitation, he decided not to do it.
One of the reasons is that he doesn't know what will happen if he says it.
He was afraid that something bad would happen, for example, if his parents had a big fight and then divorced, the family would be ruined.
And no matter who he ends up living with, it won't be a good outcome.
He didn't want to have a stepmother or stepfather, and if that was the case, he would die.
He had thought about jumping off the building before, but when he thought that if he didn't die, he would fall halfway and become disabled, and not only would he need to be taken care of for a lifetime, but it would also be very painful.
He didn't want that, but these selfish adults shouldn't drive themselves to the brink.
Of course, it would be sad for my mother to do so.
Of course, he loves his mother more than his father, and hopes that his mother will always be happy.
Mom now has a baby in her belly, her body is very weak, if she has three long and two short in her life, it is not good.
Alas.
It's all Dad's fault, and he's the one who deserves to be punished, not the poor Mom.
So, he is determined to punish his dad for a while and make him pay for what he did.
Justin hasn't said a word to his dad since he came back from work (he said he went to work, and Justin didn't believe him at all).
Dad couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, and asked him a few times, but he just wouldn't speak.
It's a pity that adults don't seem to care too much about the emotions of children, thinking that they have been wronged outside again, so they don't take it seriously.
On the way to Lan Xiaomei's house, he saw his father holding his mother's hand, and his lungs were about to explode.
He felt that his father was acting, playing a good man, which was extremely hypocritical.
He rushed forward, squeezed between them, pulled their hands away, and took his mother's hand himself.
Dad looked at him in surprise, but soon laughed.
He joked that he was going to stick to his mother at such a young age, what should he do when he grows up, you are a man, don't be a mother.
He didn't say a word, and felt in his heart that this man was really stupid to death, and he didn't understand anything.
When they arrived at Lan Xiaomei's house, because of today's task, they quietly came out while the adults were barbecing in the yard.
Now, standing behind this gloomy fire escape door, Justin has been pondering the question: how on earth can we get Dad back into the family?
Thinking about it, the only thing he could do was to break up his father and Teacher Jin Can.
To be honest, he actually likes Mr. Jin quite a lot.
It is because of Mr. Jin that he can play the piano, and Mr. Jin is very good to him, every time he takes Mr. Jin's class, he will be very comfortable and relaxed.
But compared to her mother, she is insignificant.
In particular, she has a boyfriend of her own and is about to get married, so why should she be with her father?
Of course, the biggest question is still Dad, why would this man do such a thing?
He remembered the sound that night from the next bedroom.
"Infidelity", the word resurfaced in his mind.
It's so annoying!
Suddenly, a scream came from inside the room, interrupting his thoughts.
