I said: "Maybe. Maybe when you are handling the case, you will notice that there are things that need to be kept confidential, but I am not talking about this aspect. Maybe you are very qualified as a police officer, but you are not as a staff member of a unit.
So stable. Is that what I said?"
I don’t know what happened to me today that I actually expressed so much of my true feelings in front of her. To be honest, what I just said are the conclusions I have drawn from observing her. Maybe I
There is only one purpose: I hope she can completely change herself like me.
However, she kept shaking her head after listening to my words, "Feng Xiao, maybe you are right. But I can't accept your words, because I don't want to be an official, but I once really hoped that I could be an official."
Good policeman."
Speaking of this, her expression suddenly darkened, "It's a pity that I will never have such an opportunity in the future. What you said before is just a wish. Feng Xiao, let's not talk about this matter.
Yes, this topic makes me feel very uncomfortable. I feel very uncomfortable after listening to what you said. Didn’t you ask me to drink? Don’t you mean to embarrass me by always talking about such topics? Hey! What are you doing?
Don’t eat food? You try it first and see how the food I cook tastes.”
I suddenly felt that I had gone too far today, so I smiled at her apologetically, and then picked up a piece of stewed chicken to eat. But I suddenly put the piece of chicken into my bowl and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She had been looking at me while I was picking up the food. When she saw me acting like this, she asked me, "What's wrong? It doesn't taste right?"
I didn't know what to say, "Try it yourself."
So she also picked up a piece of chicken to eat... "Ah, why is it so salty?"
I immediately laughed, "You rarely cook at home?"
Her face immediately turned red, "I usually watch my mother cook and think it's very simple. Why does the taste of my food change?"
I laughed and said, "It's okay. If it's salty, just add water and stew it again." So I started to eat the fish, "Well, this dish tastes pretty good."
She immediately became happy, and then went to pick up a piece of fish to eat. She immediately started to frown, "Why is it so sour?"
I couldn't help laughing anymore, "Why do you add so much vinegar?"
She murmured: "Isn't it spicy and sour fish?"
I didn't know what to say, "Fortunately, I like the taste. It's very special. Vinegar is a good thing and helps digestion."
She suddenly became dissatisfied, "Feng Xiao, are you deliberately laughing at me? Don't laugh..."
Before she finished speaking, suddenly, I heard a very clear sound coming from the kitchen, "Crack!"
My heart suddenly tightened, and then I looked at her nervously, and then asked her in a low voice: "Hey! Did you hear me?"
Her face suddenly changed and turned pale, and she nodded.
Now I understand that she is just as timid as a former police officer. Of course, the reason for this is simple: because she is a woman.
We looked at each other and stopped talking. We were all listening to the sounds inside.
After a while, there was no more sound coming from inside. She started to ask me: "Could it be a mouse?"
I shook my head, "I've never found anything like that in my home."
She was still looking at me, "Cat?"
I smiled bitterly, "I didn't feed that thing, and it's impossible for the outside cat to run in. The outside of the kitchen has a straight wall."
Her face was no longer pale, "Shall we go and take a look together?"
Because she was there, I suddenly became much more courageous. Mainly because I am a man. I said: "Okay."
So, we both stood up at the same time, me in front, she behind me, and then slowly walked into the kitchen. The lights inside were on. I slowly approached somewhere, and I immediately felt her hands.
Suddenly she grabbed the hem of my clothes. It was obvious that she was more scared than me now.
I entered the kitchen. Before I entered, an inexplicable and terrifying scene had already appeared in my mind. This scene had no substantive content and was just a fantasy anyway. For example, I suddenly saw a terrifying picture.
Face……
But no, there was nothing in the bright kitchen. It was a mess.
Tong Yao let go of the back of my clothes, she stood beside me, and said to me sheepishly: "Feng Xiao, I'm sorry, I didn't clean the inside. I forgot to clean it up after I finished cooking.
.”
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that you are really careless. You would rather watch TV than clean up here first. But I didn't say much, "It's okay. I'll clean it up later. Tong Yao, were you the same just now?"
Did you hear a sound coming from here?"
She said: "It seems so. What's going on? There seems to be nothing in this place?"
I started to look carefully and checked every place in the kitchen. But I found nothing. Tong Yao was also checking everything inside with me. She opened every door under the cabinet, but she and I
Still finding nothing. She whispered: "Weird."
And at this moment, I suddenly heard a "pop-pop" sound coming from outside the kitchen and in the living room, like someone walking.
Tong Yao must have heard it too, because she immediately let out a scream and then threw her body into my arms!
At this moment, I was so scared that I didn't even notice the softness of her body in my arms. However, I am a man, so I did not become limp like last night. I patted her gently.
on the back, "Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid..."
Her body was trembling in my arms.
In fact, why am I not afraid? Because the sound I heard just now was so clear and real. The key to the problem is that there is no one in the living room at this time, and that is definitely not the sound coming from the TV. That sound
The sound is very special, really like the sound of a person walking in slippers in the living room.
We hugged like this. No, to be precise, she was in my arms, and I was holding her body. In this way, the two of us stood stiff in the kitchen for a long time.
However, there was no sound outside. At this moment, my heart hanging in the air fell to the ground, and the fear in my heart slowly dissipated. And now, I really felt the warmth of her body in my arms.
Warm feeling.
I couldn't bear to let her go.
However, I had to let her go because I didn't want to be misunderstood by her. So, I gently patted her back again, "Tong Yao, there seems to be no sound. Let's go out and have a look."
Then she ran out of my arms, her face suddenly turned red, "Feng Xiao, how bad are you!"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: It's not me who brought you into my arms! But I didn't say anything because I knew that women are never unreasonable in such situations.
I whispered to her: "Don't be afraid, maybe we heard wrong."
Her face turned redder, "I'm not afraid."
At this moment, I felt a little guilty: Why did you let her come here today? Such a thing is really terrible. I said, "You stay here, I will go out and take a look."
She hurriedly grabbed the back of my clothes again, "No, I want to go out with you!"
It’s strange that I’m not particularly scared today. Maybe it’s because my instinct as a man to protect women is at work. I said, “Let’s go out and have a look. Or let’s leave this place as soon as possible.”
She didn't speak. I took her silence as a kind of acquiescence. So, the two of us slowly walked into the living room...
The living room was still empty, except for the fact that the TV was still on and there was a flickering light, and there was nothing unusual about it.
We looked at each other and looked at each other.
"Let's go. It's terrible to be in here," I said to her.
In fact, there is one sentence I haven’t said yet: I didn’t lie to you, did I?
However, what immediately made me feel very strange was that she shook her head suddenly, "No! I won't leave here. This thing is so strange, I don't believe it is true. Feng Xiao, are you up to something?
?You want to scare me on purpose? Or you want to take this opportunity to take advantage of me?"
I couldn't laugh or cry, and suddenly felt very aggrieved, "Tong Yao, how is this possible?! Do you think I am that kind of person? Think about it carefully. It was your own idea to come to my house today. I said I won't do it tonight.
Came here to sleep."
She pouted and said: "Anyway, I don't believe there is such a thing. This thing is so strange."
I smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to believe it either. The problem is that we all heard it. How do you explain this?"
Her face blushed slightly, "I don't believe it anyway."
I still smiled bitterly and said that sentence, "I don't want to believe it either. Forget it, let's go. I'll come back to clean up this place tomorrow day. You're not full, are you? Let's drive out to find a place to eat again."
And at this moment, as soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard a sound coming from the kitchen again, "Crack!"
Tong Yao immediately screamed and threw herself into my arms. Her face pressed tightly against my cheek, and I immediately felt a coldness coming from my face.
That's the temperature of her face.
This time, I was no longer afraid, because the dignity of a man suddenly returned to my body. I let go of her and ran quickly towards the kitchen. Then I heard her scream from behind me.
, and her footsteps were following me closely.
There is still nothing in the kitchen.
"Feng Xiao, what's going on?" Her voice was trembling next to her.
I shook my head, "I don't know. But it's strange. Since there is sound, it must come from somewhere, right? Let's just stand here and watch."
She came over and hugged me, "Let's go. I'm so scared."
At this time, I once again heard a "crack" sound not far ahead. Tong Yao immediately fell into my arms again and screamed again.
Her body trembled even more violently.
But I suddenly laughed, because I immediately knew what was going on, "Tong Yao, don't be afraid. It's okay. I know where the sound came from."
She immediately broke away from my arms and asked, "What's going on?"
I pointed to the top of the cabinet and said, "Look, that place is cracked. It may be that the wood of the cabinet was too moist, and it cracked after it slowly dried. Maybe it just cracked last night, but today
You were cooking inside, and the temperature rose before frequent popping sounds appeared. I could see clearly just now that the sound came from that place."
She immediately went to where I pointed and looked carefully, "It seems like it is really like this. This crack is fresh."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Sometimes things like this can scare people to death."
But she immediately turned around and looked at me, with a strange look on her face, "Feng Xiao, you are so rich, why do you buy such low-quality things?"
I replied: "Is it of poor quality? This cabinet seems to be from a famous brand. Moreover, I did not decorate this place myself. To be precise, my father-in-law let me and Chen Yuan live in it after the decoration was completed."
She looked at me, "Really?"
I nodded and suddenly thought of a question, "Maybe he was too hasty in decorating it, so he didn't carefully choose better things."
She looked at me, tilted her head and smiled at me: "Then, why don't you think about why he is so anxious?"
I felt that her question was not a problem at all. Of course, the main reason was that she did not know the situation at that time. I said: "It's very simple. Chen Yuan and I were getting married at that time, but my father-in-law didn't want us to live together.
I went to my old house. After all, that was where Zhao Menglei and I lived after we got married. That’s why he gave this place to us. Maybe it was because of this that the decoration of this place was too hasty. "
However, after saying this, I started to doubt myself: The situation at that time seemed not to be like this? It seems that Lin Yi originally lived here, and he decided to give it to me and Chen Yuan on the spur of the moment. Could it be that he was lying at that time?
Mine? He was worried that I wouldn’t accept it at the time?
But I didn’t think about this issue carefully because I didn’t think it was necessary for me to think too much about it.
However, Tong Yao asked me another question at this time, "Now that the sound inside can be explained, what exactly is going on with the sound outside?"
As soon as she finished speaking, I suddenly heard a "papa" sound coming from outside again. The sound was really like someone walking in the living room.
Tong Yao's face suddenly changed and turned pale. But this time she never rushed towards me or screamed. However, her lips were as pale as her face with fear.
, and was still trembling slightly.
My heart was hanging again at this moment, and the feeling of fear came to me again. (To be continued)
