Chapter 25: Windfall
Guan Miaoling said: "Shi Xuansheng is my lover's old classmate, I don't understand, he is sick, why did you come to me?" ”
Although she tried to act as naturally as possible, the panic between her eyebrows was difficult to hide.
Not to mention me and Lin Tong, even Sang Lan's father frowned.
I didn't know Guan Miaoling in the first place, and I didn't care about her private life, I deliberately said that just now to pave the way for some follow-up things.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, I got up and said to Guan Miaoling: "Your house is well decorated, can I visit it?" ”
Guan Miaoling was obviously a little out of shape, and she didn't object to my presumptuous request.
At this critical time, Lin Tong also stood up, grabbed my arm, and looked around with appreciative eyes.
The house is a two-bedroom apartment, and no matter how the bedroom is, it is not easy to enter, so I only looked around at the door and found nothing.
I walked to the door of another room, and before I could speak, Lin Tong turned around and asked, "Sister Miaoling, this is your child's room, right?" ”
I really admire the shrewdness of this 'senior sister', she is so able to capture people's psychology.
As soon as she shouted 'girl', Guan Miaoling, who was still cramped and uneasy, immediately unconsciously showed a hint of joy, and her voice was much brighter than before:
"No, my wife and I don't have children yet, this is the study."
As he spoke, he walked over and took the initiative to open the door.
This room is not big, and it is indeed the appearance of a study, but the style is a little out of place with the overall decoration of the room.
The white walls, the old desks, and even the bookshelves are the most common styles of the eighties and nineties.
Guan Miaoling said: "I wanted to decorate this house well, but my lover is a nostalgic person. Anyway, this will allow him to find the feeling of being a child, so ...... Hehe. ”
The furnishings in the room are very simple, and you can see it at a glance.
However, as soon as the door opened, I immediately had a strange feeling.
Prompted by this feeling, I still walked in after getting Guan Miaoling's consent.
The furnishings of this room can really be said to be very 'retro', and there is not even a computer on the desk by the window.
When I saw a photo frame on the table, I couldn't help but be stunned.
In the photo, there is a man and a woman, the woman is Guan Miaoling, and the man is naturally her husband.
It's the first time I've met Guan Miaoling, but looking at the man in this photo, why do you feel like you've seen it somewhere?
Lin Tong asked me in a whisper if I had found anything.
I shook my head, ignoring the photo, and tried to leave the room, but I couldn't move.
The strange feeling just now is still there, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the photo.
I can't describe what kind of feeling it is, but when I want to talk about it, it's like being attracted by a magnet before I got out of the tiger's mouth on Lion Tiger Mountain.
"Since you haven't found out, let's go out first." Lin Tong reminded me in a low voice.
I nodded, our behavior was already not very polite, and it was really inappropriate to linger any longer.
When I walked to the door, I happened to see Guan Miaoling holding a lighter and lighting a cigarette for Sang Lan's father.
Just now I saw an ashtray on the coffee table, and when I saw him smoking, I subconsciously went to take out a cigarette.
However, when I reached into my trouser pocket and touched the cigarette case, I also felt something.
Everyone's habits are different, and I usually only have cigarettes and lighters in my trouser pockets.
When I wondered why there was one more thing, the feeling suddenly became stronger.
"What? Don't bring any cigarettes? Sang Lan's father picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out one and threw it over.
I didn't answer, let the cigarette fall on the floor in front of me, and slowly pulled out the extra thing in my pocket.
Seeing this, Sang Lan's father and Lin Tong both showed suspicious expressions.
Guan Miaoling's reaction was very strange, she first seemed a little flustered, and only after seeing what I had in my hand did she breathe a sigh of relief.
I could see her reaction, and at the same time, the strange feeling quickly formed a specific thought in my mind.
"I know you're a, but you don't carry such a thing with you, do you?" Lin Tong whispered vaguely.
What I took out of my pocket was actually a small ingot, which looked golden on the outside, but because the ingots were folded with gold foil paper.
Just like Lin Tong said, I am a yin and a ghost, and I will not carry this ingots burned to the dead with me.
Guan Miaoling brushed the strands of her hair and said, "You just went to the grave of your deceased elder, right?" ”
She said this because in our local area, there is indeed a custom of burning paper on the grave of relatives, and the children and grandchildren who inherit the family business will leave one or two ingots or burning paper, which is almost the same as 'having money in hand'.
I didn't thank Guan Miaoling for playing the round for me at this time, but said with a cold face:
"I'm wondering why my stuff is in your house! You'd better give me a reasonable explanation! ”
"What do you mean? I don't understand what you're talking about? Guan Miaoling was stunned.
I snapped, "You know what I'm talking about!" Ingots! Not paper, but real ingots! That ingots are mine! ”
Guan Miaoling was still at a loss, but when she heard this, her face immediately turned gloomy.
I took out my phone, pointed it at her and said, "Did you take the things out yourself, or did I call a colleague to search it?" By the way, I forgot to tell you, I'm a police officer just like your husband! ”
Guan Miaoling was really panicked, "Don't, don't call the police!" ”
Said hurriedly walked over, walked into the study, opened a drawer under the bookshelf, took out something, and walked to me in a panic.
What she was holding in her hand was a small ingot of real gold!
I was just about to pick it up when my phone vibrated suddenly.
picked it up casually, and heard a voice say: "Hey, Xu Wu, I'm Lao Hu." ”
"Old Hu?"
The other party said: "You forget, I'm from the Xicheng Branch, Tiger!" ”
Only then did I remember who the other party was, and said coldly: "Officer Hu, your efficiency is really high." ”
"Listen to me first." The tiger was silent for a moment, "Actually, the matter of you losing something was raised a few years ago. But what is implicated in this incident is an old man who has worked in our bureau for ten years.
I don't want him to have a clean New Year, so I won't settle accounts with him until today. Do you understand me doing that? If this has caused you any trouble or inconvenience, I apologize to you in person. Also willing to accept sanctions. ”
The tiger didn't say anything with human affection in his words, but he was righteous and awe-inspiring, and my anger disappeared for a while.
I glanced at Guan Miaoling and said into the phone:
"Is the old man you are talking about living in the family building of the old department store? Is his wife's name Guan Miaoling? ”
"Hey, how do you know?" The tiger was surprised.
"I'm at that 'old man's house now, and his daughter-in-law is right in front of my eyes!"
