Since the 'slum' where she lived was far away from the Baishui City Secret Bureau, Li Mengmeng left the house early.
"Bye bye Roubao, stay at home and wait for mother to come back."
After saying goodbye to the black cat named Roubao, Li Mengmeng turned around and walked out of the room.
Even in the morning, the corridor is still dark and damp, as if all sunlight has been cut off.
Brisk footsteps echoed in the corridor.
But this time, no door opened.
In residential buildings, almost all residents have no habit of sleeping at night.
They were afraid, afraid that the strange thing that had hurt them before would appear in front of them again.
In the quiet and cold nights, most residents would choose to huddle in the corner of the room, leaning against the wall, staring at the darkness within their sight.
Only in this way can they find a sense of security in the dark night.
Therefore, most of the time, when Li Mengmeng goes out to work in the morning, the corridor is always silent.
But something is different today.
When he passed by a house, his ears suddenly twitched.
Someone is talking?
Li Mengmeng looked at the door.
This is Grandpa Wang's home.
Grandpa Wang, whose real name is Wang Gui.
Li Mengmeng's best friend, Wang Kexin, was Wang Gui's granddaughter.
The reason why Li Mengmeng lives in this dilapidated residential building is to protect Wang Kexin's remaining family.
So, the moment she discovered something unusual, Li Mengmeng stopped and gently leaned her ear against the iron fence outside Wang Gui's house.
It sounded like two men talking.
But the volume was not loud, and Li Mengmeng could not accurately identify what was being said.
It seems to be talking about sticky rice.
And there’s music?
Sticky rice?
Li Mengmeng was a little surprised, with a thoughtful look on her face.
Is Grandpa Wang greedy?
After get off work, would you like to see where they sell glutinous rice? If you want to bring one to Grandpa Wang, he should...
"What are you doing."
The sudden sound in her ears scared Li Mengmeng so much that she jumped away instantly.
After landing, she was still in shock and looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
But at some point, he discovered that the iron door had opened slightly, and Wang Gui's old face was hidden behind the door, with only one slightly bulging eye exposed, staring straight at Li Mengmeng.
"Grandpa Wang, I heard a noise inside your house. I was worried that something had happened, so I eavesdropped."
After regaining consciousness, Li Mengmeng quickly waved her hands and explained.
"hehe."
"Mengmeng, I know you care about me, an old man, but I just can't sleep, so I watch a movie."
Movie?
Li Mengmeng then remembered that the conversation she had just heard coming from Wang Gui's room seemed to be accompanied by a little music.
"Don't worry, I'm a little upset that my wife is dead, but I won't do anything stupid."
"You can go to work in peace."
Hearing this, Li Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay Grandpa Wang, then I'm going to work."
After apologizing, Li Mengmeng said goodbye to Wang Gui, turned around and walked out of the corridor.
Behind her, the door closed quietly without making any sound.
In a dark room.
Wang Gui walked towards the living room step by step.
From time to time there were rustling sounds all around, as if there were some creatures swimming around in the darkness.
The only light in the living room comes from the central television.
At this time, a movie called "Zombie" was playing on the TV and was in a paused state.
"You didn't peek, did you?"
Wang Gui sat back on the sofa, looked at the other side of the sofa, and said with a smile.
There was no response in the room.
But Wang Gui didn't mind at all, he just sat back on the sofa and continued to watch the movie in front of him with great interest.
As the plot continues to advance, he will give his own comments from time to time.
"This old woman deserves to die. She killed so many people just to bring her husband back to life."
"I wouldn't be like this if it were me."
He talked nonchalantly, as if someone was really standing in the dark, listening to him.
Finally, the movie ended and the list of actors began to scroll on the TV screen.
"It's pretty much finished."
Wang Gui stood up from the sofa and moved his muscles, with expressions of pain or relief on his face from time to time.
"Alas, I am still getting old, and my bones are getting worse every year."
Then, he turned around and looked at the other side of the sofa.
"Let's go, go back to your room and sleep."
Wang Gui bent down and took one hand.
It was a pale palm.
The forearm connected to the palm is twisted in a weird posture.
Dark brown blood condensed into scabs on his arms.
The owner of the arm said nothing.
But Wang Gui didn't care at all.
Even though it was quite strenuous for him, he still gritted his teeth, carried the stiff body on the sofa onto his back, and walked towards the bedroom step by step.
"Damn old woman, you are getting worse and worse."
Wang Gui complained about his wife as he walked.
He seemed completely unaware of the fact that his wife was dead.
Finally, Wang Gui successfully came to the bedside and gently placed his wife on the bed.
The twisted body occupied most of the bed, but Wang Gui still slowly straightened it and carefully covered it with a quilt.
During the process of straightening, Wang Gui's arm was scratched by bone spurs that pierced the skin on the corpse's calf.
But this did not affect Wang Gui's actions, he did not even frown.
After finally covering himself with the quilt, Wang Gui straightened up.
He turned to look at the bedside table.
There, there is a photo.
There are five people in the photo.
There were Wang Gui, his wife, and a pair of middle-aged women.
Standing in the middle is Wang Gui's granddaughter, Wang Kexin.
"Now there are only two of us left..."
Wang Gui shook his head and sighed.
In response to him, there was still only dead silence.
But he didn't speak any more and lay directly on the bed.
Not long after, a slight snore sounded in the room.
.......
Baishui City, Secret Bureau.
Li Mengmeng hummed a song and walked briskly to the door of the Secret Bureau.
It’s another great working day!
After participating in the hotel's combat operation yesterday, she thought that she would soon have the opportunity to partner with others to solve strange incidents.
Meow~
At this moment, a cat meowed suddenly from the wall nearby.
The steps that were originally heading towards the Bureau of Secrets stopped.
Li Mengmeng looked up.
At this time, a stocky orange cat was standing on the top of the wall, looking at Li Mengmeng warily and meowing continuously.
"Wow, what a cute little pussy!"
Li Mengmeng's eyes shone, and she stretched out her hand towards the orange cat while slowly approaching.
"Xiao Mi~"
"Let my sister give me a hug~"
Looking at the cute little kitten, she just wanted to hold it in her arms and rub its belly hard.
"Li Mengmeng, are you very free?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Li Mengmeng's outstretched hand paused in mid-air.
Her expression gradually stiffened.
"King...Team King, morning."
Li Mengmeng turned around slowly, with an awkward smile on her face.
"Hehehe."
Wang Qimin also had a smile on his face.
"Go to work immediately!"
"yes!"
Following Wang Qimin's scolding, Li Mengmeng didn't hesitate at all and rushed towards the conspiracy station at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
Wang Qimin stood there, looking at Li Mengmeng's back, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"This Li Mengmeng seems to like small animals very much?"
