Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From The Trash - Chap 239
Xiaochi Chi ran a long way, before he borrowed a phone from a magazine kiosk and called an ambulance.
When the location of the silo was clearly stated with difficulty, Xiaochi Chi, who had already exhausted his strength, struggled with what little strength he had left and ran towards where he had come from.
Many years later, he still remembers the stretch of road he ran.
The summer tarmac emits the thick fishy smell of coal tar, and is scalded by the air with the heat, becoming more unbearable, mixed with the taste of blood in the throat by the sand grinding out.
This scent enveloped Xiaochi Chi’s 14-year-old July.
Later, whenever he thought of this day, the smell would wind up around him.
Along the way, he stopped two or three motorcycles, but he was wearing a small undershirt and shorts, a glance can see that he had no money on him, stopped a few, but also first asked if he had money with him.
As soon as they heard that it was a major event related to human lives, they ran even faster.
Are small business, delayed a day, less money earned a day.
Everyone is clearly calculated.
When Xiaochi Chi ran back down the silo again, Ying Lou and Shoucheng Zhu were gone, and there were fresh wheel marks on the ground, a puddle of dark red blood, and several blood-stained stones.
He ran and went to the hospital.
There is only one small hospital in the town and countryside, and therefore only one destination for Xiaochi Chi.
Xiaochi Chi swoops into the modest emergency room building.
He asked the nurse at the consultation desk, “Which operating room is the patient who was just brought in?”
The nurse looked up, “Four patients have just been pulled in in the last half hour. Which one are you talking about?”
” Ying Lou .”
“Don’t say the names. All four haven’t been registered in detail yet.”
The nurse spread out the incomplete critical condition record book and pushed her glasses: “Two drivers, one with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and one who fell from a building. Which one are you asking?”
Xiaochi Chi : “Fell down from upstairs.”
“What are you to him?”
Xiaochi Chi said, “I’m his brother.”
“Pro-life?”
Xiaochi Chi lies: “Pro-life.”
“That’s okay.” The old nurse put down the register, looked at him from above her glasses, “…… so your parents at least have something to think about.”
Xiaochi Chi looked at the nurse, and his heart and eyes were wooden.
It was like he understood the nurse’s words, but he didn’t.
“Turn right at the end of the second floor. Go quickly.” The nurse said, “A few more minutes later and it will be on its way to Morgue.”
Nurses have been in hospitals for a long time and are used to seeing death and the reactions of families when they learn of the death of a loved one, especially children of this age, who are just weak in the knees, crying, or angry.
But Xiaochi Chi’s reaction was not unlike any she had ever seen.
Xiaochi Chi pulled on the rollaway bed that had been pushed out of the emergency room, stopping the bed directly in the middle of the not-so-spacious hallway.
He asked the doctor, “Where are you taking my brother?”
The doctor was more euphemistic: “The weather is too hot, his body has to find a place to stop first, until your parents come, then take your brother home, okay?”
Xiaochi Chi stubbornly said, “His hands are still moving, where are you taking him?”
The doctor laughed and cried: “Young man, you are looking at the wrong. It is the ground is not flat, roller bed rolled on it, inevitably a little upside down.”
Xiaochi Chi grabbed the roller bed and desperately wanted to prove to the doctor that his eyesight was true: “Uncle, listen to me, my brother is really moving …… We’re not going to Morgue , we’re not going.”
The doctor sighed, “Please feel sorry for your loss.”
Xiaochi Chi said, “I mourn what, he is still alive.”
The doctor said, “Young man, you stop here, it will affect our normal work.”
Xiaochi Chi did not dare to let go of her hand, afraid that if she did, Ying Lou would be pushed to that place by them.
He grabbed the corner of the bed and called out to the silent man in the bed, “Lou …… Lou, you wake up. You tell them that we are not going Morgue ……”
Small local hospitals, even sedatives are out of stock.
Xiaochi Chi just stayed fully awake, forcibly broken fingers by two strong security guards, and separated from the bed.
The body covered with a white sheet began to shake again when the sound of reeling rollers resumed.
Xiaochi Chi was pinned to the wall, watching from afar as the car turned a corner in the hallway and disappeared.
It’s only two floors, he thought, how could it be.
He thought it was impossible and thought maybe he had stopped the wrong car and identified the wrong person, after all, he only saw half a hand showing under the sheet.
So he followed up with Morgue as a family member after lying that he had calmed down.
The result of the confirmation is that he really knows Ying Lou well.
He had seen that hand hold a pen, hold a video game, hold a bowl, hold chopsticks, hold a screwdriver, and had seen that hand flatten out peacefully after falling asleep.
Just like now.
He was caught in a long dream.
Xiaochi Chi held the hand and slowly sat down along the edge of the bed on the cold concrete floor.
The body was guarded by an old man who looked away, shook his head, and whirled his back.
Xiaochi Chi found that Ying Lou’s fingertips were cold and the tips of his nails were strangely green, so he cupped his hand in his palm and gently breathed on it.
Xiaochi Chi started to feel cold when the cold air from Morgue’s year-round presence reached his body.
He felt pain in his body, but where exactly it hurt, he could not say.
Xiaochi Chi let go of Ying Lou’s hand and wrenched her shoulders tight with both hands, tightening them hard inward.
His teeth were clenched to death, and intermittent moans of pain – were emitted between his teeth.
The old man heard the noise, a little worried, came over, with a strong Shaanxi accent: “Wa, what’s wrong.”
Xiaochi Chi slurred, “…… hurts.”
“Then Grandpa will take you to the doctor?”
“No doctor.” Xiaochi Chi buried her face in her arms and took a heavy breath, “Grandpa, I want to make a phone call.”
“Okay, well, give mom and dad a call. Let you a doll see to this thing ……”
Xiaochi Chi raised her eyes, “No, I’m calling the police.”
However, he was just helped out of Morgue by the old man, there was a man and a woman two police officers came up to the police station, the man about forty years old, the woman is young and competent, short hair floppy ears.
The male policeman looked him over and saw something in his gray face, “Is your name Xiaochi Chi?”
Xiaochi Chi similarly stares at him, woodenly, without nodding or shaking his head.
He said, “I have something for you.”
“We have something to find out from you, too.” The policewoman asked him, “How old are you?”
Xiaochi Chi said dryly, “14.”
“Ho, really do not see, head scurrying quite fierce, I thought you sixteen or seventeen.” The male police officer glanced approvingly at his partner, and then said, “Then we have to go through the procedure. The first thing you need to do is hang up the phone to your parents and tell them to wait here. When your dad or mom comes, we’ll ask you things ……”
“I have a situation to reflect.” Xiaochi Chi interrupted his words, “It’s Shoucheng Zhu. Shoucheng Zhu hurt Lou, he made Lou fall down …… he also treated me–”
To his surprise, the attitude of both policemen was calm: “We know about this matter. We are also here to investigate.”
“Investigate what?”
“It was Shoucheng Zhu, a resident of No. 207 on the second floor of 17 Anding Road, who called the police.” The male police officer said, “and a burglary case related, other circumstances can not be disclosed. When your parents come, we’ll talk more about it.”
Xiaochi Chi thought that lifting the sheet and seeing Lou’s face was the darkest moment of his life.
He still underestimates how fucked up life can be.
After taking Ying Lou to the hospital, Shoucheng Zhu used the hospital’s phone to call the police to report a burglar in his house.
The thief’s name is Ying Lou, and the one who assisted in the theft is Xiaochi Chi.
Xiaochi Chi came to his house to tutor his homework and do the questions, while he was sleepy because he stayed up late last night writing lesson plans and went back to his bedroom to sleep, intending to wait until Xiaochi Chi finished a full set of test questions before explaining them to him.
He was awakened by the rustling of voices outside.
He said that at first he thought Xiaochi Chi was talking to himself, but he listened with sharp ears for a while before he realized something was wrong.
…… There was another person in his living room.
Shoucheng Zhu said he got out of bed and walked to the door, where he ran into Ying Lou, who was about to enter the bedroom.
Ying Lou, being a thief, turned around and ran away. After he grabbed her from behind, she fought with him, breaking the monarchs and knocking over several pieces of furniture in the house.
During the scuffle, Ying Lou tried to escape through the window and Shoucheng Zhu intended to stop him, but the pushing and shoving caused him to fall down the stairs.
After Xiaochi Chi heard this, he immediately stomped on the table in the interrogation room and almost kicked it over: “Bullshit!
Chi’s mother let out a tsk and slapped him on the head: “Watch your mouth! What did I teach you?”
She said, she bent respectfully towards the two officers in charge of questioning: “Sorry sorry sorry, this child is grumpy, at home with us also so horizontal, horizontal used to.”
Xiaochi Chi was so angry that her eyes were blackened and her breath was clogged in her chest, and she felt all the blood in her body rising to her throat: “No! No!!! Why do you only listen to his words? Where are the other neighbors? Our building is poorly insulated, someone can hear something, right?
The short-haired policewoman named Yu Zi, she saw Xiaochi Chi too emotional, so she deliberately softened her voice: “At that time still left in the silo, only an old man with deaf ears, a hungover man, and two children in elementary school. The first two people did not hear anything at all, the two children, remembering things are not clear, the timeline of what happened is one set of statements, and so asked two words, their original memory is not clear, the testimony is not credible.”
With that, Yu Zi leaned forward slightly and soothed him with a gentle tone, “Don’t get excited. Shoucheng Zhu’s words are his words, I want to hear your description of the incident now.”
Xiaochi Chi’s face was white.
The taste of men’s head oil filled his mouth again for nothing, and his nostrils were filled with the fermented stench of food and saliva.
Xiaochi Chi placed under the table hands unconsciously tightly clasped together, said softly, “He …… is going to do that thing to me.”
Yu Zi didn’t understand: “What does he want from you?”
Xiaochi Chi gritted his teeth and cut open his hidden wound with a slash: “…… He, Shoucheng Zhu , wants to violate me.”
For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room froze.
Chi’s mother, wide-eyed, pinched his leg under the table, “Are you crazy? What’s this nonsense?”
Yu Zi exchanged a look full of consternation with middle-aged police officer Lao Dai before saying, “Can you tell us the details?”
Xiaochi Chi said his experience word by word, saying that when he was pinned down on the bed, he was shaking so badly that his stomach recoiled for a while, like a big invisible hand was pulling his stomach outward.
After hearing his story, Yu Zi was very concerned and immediately decided to take him to the hospital to have his injuries examined.
Chi’s mother, however, had been sitting on the sidelines, looking at Xiaochi Chi with a strange look.
After doing the examination, it was already fully dark.
Yu Zi drove Xiaochi Chi and Chi’s mother back to the silo, and told Xiaochi Chi to rest, not to think or run around, and that they would start the investigation as soon as possible.
Xiaochi Chi listened to a sentence or two, his eyes looking straight out the car window.
Shoucheng Zhu stands in front of Ying Lou’s house in a suit, carrying a huge fruit basket in his hand.
From his jacket pocket, a corner of a thick red envelope was revealed.
He was saying something to Ying Lou’s sobbing sister-in-law with a sullen look on his face.
Seemingly sensing the sight behind him, he turned his head and saw Xiaochi Chi in the police car.
Shoucheng Zhu was a bit vain and quickly turned his eyes away and said something to Ying Lou’s sister-in-law, who then gave way and let him enter Lou’s house.
Xiaochi Chi wants to kill someone.
At this time, he wanted Shoucheng Zhu and Lou to lie cold and alone in Morgue.
After Chi’s mother and Yu Zi said goodbye, her face quickly Langdang down, pulling Xiaochi Chi, dragging him all the way upstairs.
The house is cold, and Ikeda’s dad is sitting at the table, and he doesn’t look in a very good mood.
He asked, “I’ve heard a little whispers. What is going on?”
Xiaochi Chi was just about to speak when Chi’s mother spoke up and rebuked, “What’s going on? You’re a good son, aren’t you? Growing up, you can’t learn anything else, but only learn to cause trouble!”
She turned to Xiaochi Chi: “I told you not to be less with Lou downstairs, he is good in studies, but not good in character, you see, now how? How’s that coming true?”
Xiaochi Chi fiercely argued, “Lou is not!!!”
“Oh, he’s not, then why is he running to someone’s house in broad daylight? And with people’s money in his pocket?”
Xiaochi Chi’s voice was tinged with tears: “Lou is trying to save me ……”
“You just make up.” Chi Mom turned to Chi Dad, “You know, your good son, said that people Zhu teacher to his hands and feet, and touch him …… you listen to see, ridiculous or not, ah? You think you’re some kind of meat and potatoes? People Mr. Zhu is a man, a big man, to your hands and feet, he figure what ah? Jokes.”
…… Xiaochi Chi doesn’t want to talk.
Even open his mouth he is too tired.
The parents will not admit that their decision to send Xiaochi Chi to Mr. Zhu’s house for tutoring was wrong, so it must be Xiaochi Chi who is wrong.
In that case, there’s nothing more to say.
He wanted to go out to get some air, but was stopped by Chi’s mother back, said he don’t want to go anywhere tonight, just at home to explain the situation all clear.
Xiaochi Chi pursed her lips and laughed silently twice.
He made his bed on the floor, fell straight down, pulled the covers over his head, and did not say another word.
I can’t help it, Chi’s mom and dad also turned off the lights early to combat the gossip that had spread throughout the building.
Xiaochi Chi is sleepless, listening to the conversation of the couple in bed with her eyes open under the suffocating covers.
Ji Dad said: “How can a person die? And also died near our home, even if you want to move in the future, housing prices will have to follow the decline. Who to talk to?”
“Find whoever you like, but do not find us bad luck.” Chi mother chagrin, “your son just give the house keys to outsiders, this is good, we have to eat with the Lou family melon fall.”
“Not so much not so much. But speaking of which, it’s really thanks to Lou’s kid that he lost his life.” Chi Dad said, “The death of a person is the greatest, in order to peace is precious, Mr. Zhu also will not be with us more about Chi Xiao.”
Xiaochi Chi opened his mouth and bit down on the quilt.
When he had a little strength to loosen his teeth, he realized he had a mouth full of heavy blood.
……
Yu Zi has remained under the silo, looked around and confirmed that there is no sign of surveillance coverage in this area.
It was not until Shoucheng Zhu left Lou’s house that she got out of the car and stopped Shoucheng Zhu: “Mr. Zhu, let’s talk again?”
Shoucheng Zhu’s expression was unnatural for a moment, but he quickly returned to his spring-like smile: “It’s so late. Going to the police station?”
“Just two or three sentences, just talk in the car.”
After closing the car door, Yu Zi turned his head: “Can I ask some questions.”
Shoucheng Zhu in the passenger seat: “Well, you tell me.”
Yu Zi : “You said that Ying Lou used the key of Xiaochi Chi’s house to enter Xiaochi Chi’s house and then broke into your house and burglarized it?”
Shoucheng Zhu : “That’s right.”
“And Xiaochi Chi is the inside man?”
“That’s just a guess. Because he doesn’t seem surprised by Ying Lou’s presence at all.”
Yu Zi looked into Shoucheng Zhu’s eyes, “Why do you think Ying Lou chose to go through the window instead of the door, since she had Chi Xiao as her inside man?”
Shoucheng Zhu didn’t even blink: “My door is already old, and the sound is especially harsh when opening and closing.”
Yu Zi thought, “Do you think Chi Xiao was afraid of waking you up, so she let Ying Lou go through the window?”
“Maybe.”
“Then his and Ying Lou’s plan to commit this theft must have been planned in advance. But how can Chi Xiao be sure that you must have fallen asleep while executing your plan?”
“I don’t know about that.” Shoucheng Zhu shrugged, “They stick together all day long, there is no guarantee that they have any special way of communication.”
Yu Zi was watching Shoucheng Zhu’s expression change throughout the questioning.
But disappointingly, she didn’t find anything.
Shoucheng Zhu showed some nervousness and anxiety, but the level was within the normal range and no particular abnormality could be seen.
She asked one last question, “Do you have anything else to say about Ying Lou?”
“This child is quite good at studying, very spiritual, but the character is ……” Shoucheng Zhu shook his head regretfully, “not I say bad things about the deceased, you can ask around, this upstairs and downstairs, who does not The child who knows the Lou family always has endless money, can always get a variety of second-hand goods, but also to Xiaochi Chi buy a variety of good things. As for the source of his money, alas, perhaps only God knows it.”
……
In July, Xiaochi Chi began his war without smoke and mirrors.
He ran to the police station every day and sat there, waiting for a statement.
Chi Mom also has to work, where he can accompany him day in and day out dry consumption, so the old Dai responsible for this matter flexible turn into, the “inquiry” packaged as a “talk”, so you do not have to let the Chi parents follow each time.
Lao Dai is very distrustful of Xiaochi Chi.
Every time we “talk”, he asks the same question: “Tell me all the details of what happened that day.”
As a result, Xiaochi Chi has had to tear open the scars again and again, showing the bloodied wounds to others.
But the same thing, said backwards and forwards, it is inevitable that the flavor of the string.
Old Dai took several transcripts and compared them back and forth: ” Ying Lou into the window timing …… you did not say so last time ah.”
Xiaochi Chi covered his forehead, his heart and body were tired and weak: “What did I say last time?”
Old Dai closed the pen cap, leaned back in his chair and said perfunctorily, “You think for yourself.”
Xiaochi Chi is not talking.
In the past few days, Xiaochi Chi’s words have decreased dramatically.
Because he found that more talk is more wrong.
Old Dai also felt uninterested, closed the transcript and told him to wait here.
Xiaochi Chi followed him silently, carrying his bag on one shoulder, just after he left.
Dai went back to his office, and Xiaochi Chi sat down wordlessly on the plastic bench in front of his office, trying to hear some useful news.
A young civilian police officer inside asked, “That kid again? How’s it going, is it okay?”
“He’s fine.” Old Dai with his index finger loudly flicked the injury report, “all the red bruises on his body is his own fall, wrists and waist is a little bruised, apparently twisting and pushing traces, and Shoucheng Zhu’s statement is also right, and, he was neither tied up, nor any traces of invasion – violation, not even a piece of sperm – spot. ”
Speaking of which, Old Dai chirped, “…… said as if it were true.”
Xiaochi Chi rests his head on the cool tile to cool his rolling head.
He thought, “If I had known, I would have been better off if Shoucheng Zhu had gotten it.
“Children of this age, lies come out of their mouths, no need to type a draft.” Old Dai said, “That’s how my son behaves. I know too well.”
Yu Zi : “He may not be lying. I always thought there was something odd about it.”
“Little comrade, you ‘think’? You’re not afraid of people laughing when you say that? We have to look at the evidence, the proof.”
Old Dai raised several statements in his hand: “Here, open your eyes. Before and after the inconsistency, details wrong, you tell me he did not lie?”
He took another drag on his cigarette, “And did you see his feet?”
Yu Zi : “…… What happened to his feet again?”
Outside the door, Xiaochi Chi also looks down at his feet.
Old Dai tsked: “On his ankle, the boss a black flower. Good guys, it is said that the body hair and skin of the parents, who decent children will get fancy for their own body?”
The tattooed flower on the inside of his ankle, cold as a snake, climbed up all the way along his pant leg.
Xiaochi Chi and stopped his feet and stopped looking.
Yu Zi didn’t answer Dai’s question again and flipped through the documents himself: “I suggest identifying the fingerprints on the coins in Ying Lou’s pocket.”
Old Dai lit a cigarette: “Oh, that money, ah, returned.”
Yu Zi : “…… What? Returned?”
Lao Dai: “It’s someone else’s money, Mr. Zhu, with a small strip of his purchase, of course, must be returned to others.”
“It’s not ……” Yu Zi said, “It’s evidence, how can you just casually-”
Old Dai reached out and waved away the smoke in front of him: “Little Zi, you are still too young, do not know the ways of the world. The money is not a small amount, several hundred, if we withhold it as evidence, someone will say we ignore the people’s money, then we can’t even talk about it. Also, what did you say? Testing fingerprints? Don’t be ridiculous, we have no such conditions? Small broken place of the small broken police station, on our kittens two or three, busy every day a stink of death are too busy to finish things, but also fingerprinting? Not enough trouble. Besides, the Lou family side have said forget it, intend to cremate the child into the ground early, we also do not follow the idle worry -”
Snap.
A few moments after the sound of something hitting the ground, a continuous running sound rang out steeply outside.
Sensing a hint of something wrong, Yu Zi peeks out of his office only to see Xiaochi Chi’s black school bag on the floor and the teenager’s desperate figure disappearing at the end of the hallway in just a flash.
“…… Chi Xiao ?”
