He had made a decision in his heart, but Chen Shu was still prepared to be more steady. Past lessons had also slapped him in the face, and although he would occasionally not wait for me, he was also more likely to be led by others.
Chen Shu didn't like this feeling.
“I didn’t expect Lao Wang to be this kind of person!”
"Isn't that right? I have two children with me. I heard from their mother that the children are very sensible. Although they are taken care of by grandparents in my hometown, their results are much better than the two of us."
"I know, the older one is still the monitor, and the younger one is not bad either. He seems to be a study committee member."
"Don't change the subject. Are you sure it was Lao Wang you saw this morning? Could it be that you saw it wrong? Maybe it was the stuffy gourd at the door?"
"I was pretty sure just now. Now that we're talking like this, I'm a little unsure again..."
"Lao Wang next door is well-deserved!"
…
Chen Shu sat on the chair and listened to the conversation between the two game youths for a while. He felt that he could no longer get any information from them, so he stood up and greeted Zhu Chaoran, and the two of them went to the room of the family of four.
.
Two gaming youths swarmed over.
Chen Shu entered the room first and glanced at the middle-aged man who was lying on his side on the bed, facing the inner wall and sleeping under the air conditioner.
It’s a bit interesting, it’s so late at noon, and I have to go to bed before dinner.
Two eight or nine-year-old children were still sitting on the small bench, just like the last time he passed by. They didn't raise their heads and looked over at this moment. They just lay on the small round table and wrote their summer homework seriously.
Only the middle-aged woman wearing a white kitchen apron, who was standing by the window cooking vegetables, made some movement at this time. She stood up straight and turned to look at a few people. Her wide eyes were full of doubts, but she did not
No sound was made.
The room was small, only about ten square meters. Even though there were only four people in it, Chen Shu still squeezed in. He also made a subtle gesture, suggesting that Zhu Chaoran should follow.
Once Zhu Chaoran, who was fat and strong, entered the room, the room became even more crowded. He was fat and covered with many equipments. He stood in the room and couldn't move around. He looked at the small bench on the ground and sat down.
However, someone was sleeping in the bed next to him. He could only take two steps forward and three steps back to wander around the room and look around for investigation.
Chen Shu first deliberately walked to the bed where the middle-aged man was sleeping, leaned his head over, and quietly stared at the man's closed eyelids. After a while, he reached out and gently opened the corner of the air conditioner at the end of the bed.
, I was shocked to find that the man was lying on the bed with his shoes on!
Chen Shu smiled coldly, and with confidence in his heart, he no longer stayed by the bed.
He crossed the entire room and came directly to the middle-aged woman. At this time, the usual smile returned to his face.
He smiled at the woman, pointed to the smoking wok on the induction cooker in front of him, and said:
"Stir-fried pork with green peppers is a bit spicy, but I also like this dish very much. Whether it's meat or green peppers, it goes very well with rice. As soon as I stood outside the door, I was thinking about the aroma of yours. Let me ask you something, you
Just continue to fry, don't delay this delicious dish. The children are also waiting to eat it."
Children are the weak point of any mother in the world. Cutting into them to bring them closer to each other is always detrimental. But children are also their armor, sharp dagger, and even the most important source of their lives. They cannot be touched easily or touched.
.
The middle-aged woman also laughed after hearing this, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
She turned and half-bowed and continued to stir-fry: "Officer, are you here because the girl in the next room had her cell phone stolen?"
"Yes. You also know about this, right?" Chen Shu looked at the shredded green pepper and pork in the pot and hurriedly handed over a bowl of water.
"Officer, you are so young and you know how to cook? It's not common." The middle-aged woman was a little surprised. After taking the bowl and pouring some water into the pot, she put the small bowl aside. During this time, there was no
Take another look at Chen Shu.
It didn’t work. After all, he was still too unfamiliar. He showed his identity as a police officer too early and seemed a little alienated. Chen Shu was a little annoyed, but he still replied calmly: "Haha, I can only eat vegetables, how can I cook?
.”
I was standing outside the door just now, watching you half-fry, so I took this small bowl, filled it with some water, and put it next to the pot. I just saw that there was no soup in the pot, and I didn’t see you making any plans to start cooking. So I thought it was due to lack of water.
, and handed it over conveniently.
This time, the distance should be closer.
After listening to Chen Shu's words, the middle-aged woman spoke more and said:
"Oh, officer, you are being humble. By the way, the little girl screamed in the corridor this morning when the incident happened, so everyone in the house knew about it. We who often lose things have never
We have never caught a thief. She probably just came here and didn’t know the situation, so she was taken aback. Our family has been living together for a long time, so we are actually used to it."
Chen Shu was a little surprised: "Can you get used to this? This habit is not very good. When something happened before, you didn't call the police?"
"Officer, there's nothing we can do. We work as part-time workers and are usually busy at work. How can we have time to call the police? If we have the time, we might as well go to the factory to do more work and make more money. Something really happened and something was lost.
, I can only remind myself that I am unlucky. I will pay more attention next time. I have to go on with my life."
As he spoke, the middle-aged woman picked up the wok, used a spatula to move the dishes in the wok to the empty plate that had been prepared. Then he began to clean the wok and prepare the next dish.
This time, Chen Shu began to look at the middle-aged woman seriously. Due to the sweat on her forehead, her temples were wet and stuck to her face. She looked very tired, but her cooking movements were skillful and powerful. It was obvious that she usually
She should be doing the housework.
And from the look in her eyes when she occasionally looked back at the children who were doing their homework, she could see that they were all full of energy.
"Officer, why don't you stay and eat together?" the middle-aged woman tilted her head and asked casually.
Haha, this is chasing people away. This woman or someone close to her must have been stolen several times before, and she may have called the police, but to no avail. They are both destitute, so the thief cannot be her.
Chen Shu thought about it for a while, and in order to avoid reminding her of bad memories, he decided to go down the steps she took and say goodbye first.
"No, eldest sister, then you get busy first and I'll take a look outside."
The middle-aged woman didn't reply, she just lowered her head and continued to burn the family's lunch.
Chen Shu turned his head, glanced at the man who was still sleeping and motionless, and walked towards the door of the room.
