Chapter 1693 Strange People
Although there is no longer Xiao Li’s body in the house.
With the police coming in and out so many times, the scene must have been tidied up.
But, after all, it is a house where people have died.
So unlucky.
It would be bad if a child gets bad luck if he goes in there.
"Your parents will be angry."
Seeing that the child was unwilling, the old man frightened the child.
The child did flinch.
However, even though he was scared, the child still stubbornly stayed where he was, with a stubborn look on his face.
"I'm looking for Fatty."
"Didn't you go into the house to look for it last time?"
The old man was confused.
"There is still a room I haven't found."
The old man suddenly realized.
That room must be the room where Xiao Li is, right?
"But there's no one in the house."
The old man's words did not make the child give up.
"There was no one in the house last time, but an uncle opened the door."
The child's eyes sparkled, "It's amazing."
"I want to find that uncle."
"Grandma, do you know that uncle?"
"Can you tell me where to find that uncle?"
The old man knew that the child was talking about the locksmith Xiao Jin.
What a smart kid.
I still remember that Xiao Jin opened the door from the outside last time.
However, the old man shook his head with regret, "Little girl, except for the police uncle, ordinary people can't just open other people's houses."
"If you find that uncle, that uncle won't open the door for you."
"Ah."
The child was very disappointed, but soon became stubborn and said, "I want to find Fatty."
"I will always beg my uncle to open the door for me."
The old man stared at the child's big dark eyes and was moved by the child's persistence.
"I told her that her uncle would be punished if he opened the door for her without permission."
"She is so embarrassing for uncle."
"Hearing what I said, the child hesitated."
"That's a good boy."
The old man smiled and said, "Then I told her that I would watch for her."
"Whenever there is someone in the room opposite, I call her."
"The child is home."
The old man sighed with emotion, "I lied to that child."
"You are doing it for her own good."
Meng Jixi corrected, "The child will know when he grows up."
"Yeah."
The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes relaxed, "When she grows up, she will understand what happened to Xiao Li."
"You will also understand what I am doing."
"Oops, that's too far gone."
The old man patted his head gently.
Very embarrassed.
She said before that these young people didn't have time to chat with her, but she unknowingly said so much again.
Moreover, the main topic has not been discussed yet.
"What I want to say is about the child's parrot."
"Parrot?"
Meng Jixi was a little surprised.
Because of Li Wei's body, everyone subconsciously ignored that the reason they discovered Li Wei's body was because of a little girl's obsession with her pet parrot.
The police are busy investigating Li Wei's case.
As for the missing parrot.
They have all forgotten.
"Yeah."
The old man nodded.
"Xiao Li likes to eat birds such as sparrows and blackbirds."
"You should know, right?"
Meng Jixi nodded, "That kid said that Li Wei likes to eat birds."
"Oh, that kid knows it too."
The old man suddenly said, "Tell me, how could that child recognize that Xiao Li stole her parrot?"
"Actually, I think the child's parrot was probably stolen by Xiao Li."
"Why do you think so?"
Meng Jixi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Did you see something?" "Yeah."
The old man nodded, "I didn't think of it until later."
"One day I came back from shopping for groceries."
"When I walked downstairs here, I heard the voice of 'Hello, hello~'."
"I look up."
“Saw the parrot on the balcony.”
"The parrot is not in a cage, nor is it chained."
"Flying in and out of the balcony and the house."
"I thought at that time, this family is really tolerant, so they are not afraid of the parrot flying."
"But after watching for a while, I found that the parrot was flying back and forth between the balcony and the house."
"It won't fly out of the balcony."
"I just thought, what a smart parrot."
"No wonder this family is so relieved."
"I looked at it for a while, then withdrew my gaze and wanted to leave, and then-"
The old man frowned slightly, "I saw Xiao Li on the balcony opposite."
"He's looking at the parrot."
"It's nothing."
"I just stared at the parrot for a long time."
"However, Xiao Li's expression is a little strange."
"I can't tell"
"It's just an uncomfortable expression."
Thinking of Xiao Li's appearance at that time, the old man was a little confused and frowned even more.
"Xiao Li noticed my gaze and looked down."
"He smiled at me."
"Although Xiao Li is relatively silent, he is a polite child."
The old man expressed his impression of Xiao Li, "I have always felt this way."
"Then, Xiao Li turned around and walked into the house."
"I didn't think much about it."
"I just feel that I am getting older and my eyesight is not very good."
"Xiao Li and I are so far apart."
"That's why I think there's something wrong with Xiao Li's expression?"
"But now think about it, was Xiao Li thinking about the kid's parrot at that time?"
The old man's tone was lowered a bit, "You didn't find the parrot in his house because he had already eaten it."
"Have you eaten yet?"
Chi Xiuke murmured.
If that little kid knew, he would be very sad.
"Yes, I have already eaten."
The old man shook his head, "You said this person."
“The job is not bad.”
“It’s not much less money.”
“I really want to eat it”
“Can’t I just buy it myself?”
“Why steal someone else’s child’s parrot?”
"How sad that child is."
"Such a smart parrot."
"The child loves her parrot"
"What a strange person."
Everyone was silent.
The answer to this question depends on myself.
But-
"But now that Xiao Li is dead, we have no way to ask him."
The old man felt a little regretful, "If I had only known that I would have asked him why when I first discovered that he likes to eat birds."
"But I felt that they were not familiar with each other at the time."
"Besides, people can eat whatever they like. Why do I, an old woman, care about so much?"
"Hey~"
The old man sighed.
Then he put the regret behind him.
What has happened cannot be changed.
What else is she worried about?
"What I said are all my guesses."
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Actually, isn't it bad to say this after someone dies?"
"I was so hesitant just now. On the one hand, I felt that this matter had nothing to do with the case you were investigating."
“On the one hand, it feels like I’m speaking ill of a dead person.”
"No."
Meng Jixi shook his head, "Old man, you are just telling the facts you know."
