Chapter 1692 The old man’s narrative
"Xiao Li's relative? Friend?"
"I haven't seen you in the past few days."
"How do you have the key to Xiao Li's house?"
……
Meng Jixi was "bombarded" by the old man's interrogation-like words, and Meng Jixi was stunned.
Then he laughed and said, "Old man, don't you remember me?"
"I came here a few days ago."
"I've also met you."
"Huh?"
After hearing what this young man said, the old man looked at the young man in front of him more carefully.
Has she met this young man?
The old man looked suspicious.
……
Meng Jixi spread his hands and said, "I was wearing a uniform when I came here before."
"I'm not wearing a uniform today. Do you think you won't be able to recognize me?"
".Oh oh."
After staring at Meng Jixi for a long time, a look of surprise finally appeared on the old man's face.
"It's you, young man."
"Why are you here again?"
In her memory, including this time, she had seen this young man three times.
……
Uh...
Meng Jixi smiled helplessly.
He doesn't want to come here so many times.
……
"How is it? Did you find anything?"
After recognizing that the young man in front of him was a policeman, the vigilance on the old man's face disappeared, and his curiosity became more intense.
"No."
Meng Jixi shook his head.
The old man doubted, "Really not?"
"Isn't it because of some confidentiality reasons that I can't tell the old lady?"
"Then you have made it clear that the old woman is not such an unreasonable person."
Meng Jixi smiled bitterly, "Really not."
"Do you look like we are happy to have discovered something?"
The old man looked at Meng Jixi and then at the others.
"Oh~, I don't seem to be happy."
"But I don't look unhappy."
The old man's words shocked everyone present.
Meng Jixi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Old man..."
They are not children, do they have to express all their emotions clearly on their faces?
"Haha, just kidding."
The old man smiled and said, "Okay, I saw that you seemed to be in a hurry just now."
"Is there somewhere else to go?"
"Let's go quickly."
"I'm sorry that the old lady has delayed you for so long."
"If you find anything, please tell me next time you come here."
The old man smiled and waved.
"Old man, if you think of anything about Li Wei, please call me at any time."
When she met the old man for the first time, Meng Jixi left her number for him.
Although the old man has told the police everything he knows.
But as the old man is getting older after all, sometimes his memory will inevitably have some deviations or he will forget something.
What if she thinks of something again later?
"Okay."
The old man responded with a smile.
Then there was a look of hesitation on his face.
Meng Jixi's heart skipped a beat. "Old man, did you remember something?"
……
The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "The policeman's eyes are sharp."
"What I think of is not important-"
"It doesn't matter."
Meng Jixi's eyes were burning, "No matter how trivial it is, it's okay, as long as it's related to Li Wei."
The old man was a little taken aback by Meng Jixi's momentum.
"Axi."
Chi Xiuchuan pulled Meng Jixi back a little, "You scared the old man."
"Huh?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Meng Jixi's and the old man's voices sounded almost at the same time.
The old man smiled and waved his hand, "Comrade police officers are courageous."
"I'm not scared."
"Sorry."
Although the old man said this, Meng Jixi deliberately slowed down his speech a bit and apologized simply.
He knew that his attitude and momentum sometimes seemed too "domineering".
Although he didn't mean it himself. But it did give people a bad feeling.
The old man smiled and shook his head.
She had a good impression of this young man who was particularly serious about investigating the case.
Besides, as a police officer, it's normal to be a bit aggressive sometimes.
Otherwise, how can we suppress those lawless elements?
"Although it is related to Xiao Li."
The old man brought back the topic.
She also knew that these young people didn't have the time to chat with her right now.
"But I think it has nothing to do with the case."
The old man had been vaccinated in advance.
"It's okay, just say it."
Meng Jixi deliberately paid attention to the tone of his words this time.
"Okay."
The old man nodded.
"Didn't a little girl come over before and say that Xiao Li stole her parrot?"
"Yeah."
Meng Jixi nodded.
Of course he knew this.
It’s also thanks to the little girl’s persistence.
Otherwise, Li Wei didn't know what would happen before he would be found dead at home.
At that time, it was several times more difficult to find out the truth than it is now.
Li Wei's death may really become an unsolved case.
"You entered Xiao Li's house and didn't find the parrot, did you?"
the old man asked.
"Yes."
Meng Jixi nodded.
There was nothing alive in that room.
There is only a dry skeleton.
"The child had a person come later."
The old man's words surprised Meng Jixi and others.
"Are you surprised?"
The old man smiled knowingly.
"She came here secretly?"
Meng Jixi figured it out quickly.
"Yeah."
The old man was not surprised by Meng Jixi's quick reaction.
"Otherwise, which parent would allow their children to come to the scene of the crime?"
The old man sighed.
"Because such a big thing happened at the opposite door, I inevitably paid more attention to the movement at the door."
"When I hear the sound, I open the door."
“I saw the child knocking on Xiao Li’s door”
The old man called the child.
Ask her why she came here?
How dare you knock on Xiao Li's door.
This kid doesn't know what's going on in this room, right?
The old man quickly made a guess.
The child seemed a little frightened by the old man's voice.
There was a look of panic on the raised little face.
But the child breathed a sigh of relief when he discovered that it was the old woman he had met before who lived across from the bad uncle's house.
She greeted politely.
And he very frankly explained the reason why he came.
She came to see Fatty.
After she went back last time, her mother stopped letting her come to see her bad uncle.
She didn't know why.
She even cried about it.
But my mother's attitude was very firm.
He also got angry at her.
Dad is also on Mom's side.
They seemed to have some reason.
But they told her nothing.
She felt aggrieved.
But I am also afraid that my mother will be angry.
She was obedient on the surface.
Secretly, he sneaked here while his parents were at work.
She didn't dare go to the police station.
She knew the police aunt would call her mother.
She came here alone.
However, she couldn't open the door.
I knocked on the door and no one opened the door.
She was racking her brains to think about where to find the uncle who opened the door last time.
Then she heard the old man's voice.
"I let the child go back."
The old man talked about what happened that day, "This is not a place where a child should come."
