happy apocalypse

Chapter 66

I took Weiwei to the first floor quickly, and saw that the door of An An's house was open, Xuanxuan and Hanhan were standing outside the door, and there were some people who came earlier than us and were watching the excitement.Weiwei and I hurried forward and hugged the children one by one.

"What's wrong with Hanhan? Mom is here." I put my arms around my son, feeling his body trembling slightly.

"Mom, I'm afraid." Hanhan burst into tears after finishing speaking.When Xuanxuan next to her heard that she was crying, she also opened her mouth and began to cry.
When I saw the two children like this, I knew something must have happened inside.

I handed the Hanhan to Weiwei, planning to go in and take a look. As soon as I entered the room, I saw a person lying in the middle of the living room, with blood flowing beside her. Before I could take a closer look, Jiang Zhi came out. He hugged me, took me out of the house, and said, "Don't look." Then he held An An, who was still crying, into my arms.

"Grandma Li had an accident. You took the children upstairs, they were all terrified, and then called the police and said... that there was a murder here." After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, he scanned the room with sharp eyes. Neighbors who watched by.

I didn't ask any more questions. I dragged An'an, who didn't want to leave, and Hanhan, who was still smoking, and walked back to my home quickly. The first thing I did was to call the police, but no one answered the phone after it rang for a long time.

I was a little at a loss, there was a murder case, why is there no one in the police station to go to work?When I was in a state of confusion, I suddenly remembered that I had Officer Qi’s cell phone number, so I quickly called Officer Qi, and this time I was connected quickly. I quickly introduced our situation here, and also the police station’s phone number. The phone couldn't get through, so there was a moment of silence and said, "I'll be there right away."

I closed the phone with confidence, as long as the police came.

I handed the Hanhan over to Mother Jiang and Father Jiang for comfort. Xuanxuan had Weiwei around, so I hugged An An myself. Seeing An An's eyes were full of tears, and she was stubborn and refused to cry, I patted her and said, "An An is good. , Aunt Qu is here, An An is not afraid."

"Wow, Aunt Qu, the grandma died, and the grandma shed a lot of blood." An An finally couldn't resist the fear in her heart, and cried out loudly.

"My aunt knows that An An is the most obedient, and An An is the bravest and strongest. My aunt has called the police just now, and the police will catch the bad guys when they arrive in a while." I don't know how to comfort someone who sees this situation I can only say something instinctively to comfort him.

"I don't want the police to come, can I ask grandma to wake up?" Seeing that I was silent, An An asked with tears in her eyes, "Grandma will never come back again, right?" An An

I heard what An An said, and I didn't know how to reply.

Qu's mother understood what we said, and knew that something had happened to Grandma Li. She came to take over and hug An An, and took her to the bedroom to comfort her. I was relieved. I didn't know how to answer the child's questions. Too cruel for a child.

I was thinking about it, and I couldn't help crying while sitting on the sofa, what's wrong with this world, people who are fine in the morning, just a few hours, people are gone.An An used to have a grandma, but now she is really an orphan. I couldn't help but feel sad, and cried while covering my mouth.

After venting for a while, my rationality returned, and I quickly put away my out-of-control emotions. There are still many things to do now, and it is not the time to cry.

I stood up and walked to the first floor again. The neighbors who could come to our unit gathered in front of Grandma Li's house. I pushed through the crowd and walked inside.

Seeing me go back and forth, Jiang Zhi frowned and walked towards me, "Didn't I tell you to go back? Why are you here again?"

"Hanhan's grandparents are watching, Xuanxuan's mother is watching, and An'an's mother is watching. I have nothing to do up there, so I just want to come down and see what I can do to help." I looked up at Jiang Zhi and said , I hope he sees my persistence.I hope that when something happens at home, I can stand beside Jiang Zhi and help him, instead of hiding behind and dragging him down, and I believe that I have the ability to stand by his side.

Jiang Zhi looked at my reddish eyes, sighed, and asked, "Did you call the police?"

"Well, I started calling 110 and no one answered, so I called Officer Qi, who said he would be here in a while." I reported what happened just now.

After hearing this, he pondered for a while and said, "It's useless for us to be here now, just to protect the scene and wait for Officer Qi to come to find some clues."

At this time, a voice came out from the crowd watching at the door, "Why don't you save the person first? In such a cold weather, if this person didn't die and lay on the ground for such a long time, he would have frozen to death. Don't look at it, everyone." Come on, let's go in and lift Mrs. Li to the bed, even if it is impossible to save her, don't let her die and suffer."

"Yes, that's right. We are old neighbors. When old Mrs. Li encounters such a thing, we all help." Two men really fit in. They stood up and entered the house, trying to lift Grandma Li who was on the ground. stand up.

Jiang Zhi hurriedly stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, Grandma Li has passed away. We can't move her body yet. We have to wait for the police to arrive and investigate the scene before we can move the body. Destroying the scene, affecting the police investigation and making it impossible for the police to catch the murderer, our crime is even greater."

Everyone listened to what Jiang Zhi said, and most of them agreed. After all, everyone knows that Jiang Zhi is a surgeon. Now that the doctors say that the person is dead, that person is really hopeless. The most important thing now is to find out who killed Grandma Li. murderer.

I looked at the neighbor who retreated to the door, and suddenly thought of a question, and asked Jiang Zhi in a low voice, "Did the unit door open when you came down?"

"It didn't open. It was when you went up that I pushed the door open to see if there were any footprints. I had never opened the door before. There was a high pile of snow outside the unit door, and there was nothing on the snow. No." Jiang Zhi said in a low voice.

The door of our unit is now tightly blocked by snow, and it can only be pushed open by someone with great strength. If someone like me goes, it will be for nothing.

Jiang Zhi first opened the door of our unit every Monday.We will also shovel off the snow in front of the other 5 units in a row before everyone comes out.So if according to what Jiang Zhi said just now, the unit door has not been opened, then the murderer must be someone inside the building.

When I think of such vicious people around me, I feel a little scared.Jiang Zhi put his arms around my shoulders and comforted me silently.

In such cold weather, none of the neighbors came home, and they all stood at the door waiting for the police to arrive.I feel a little sour. I don't know what these neighbors are thinking. I don't know if they want to stay and watch the fun, or they really care about Grandma Li.Another possibility is that people with ghosts in their hearts want to see what the police have found.

We waited here for nearly an hour before Officer Qi arrived. He walked here by himself, without any tools in his hands, still wearing the same police uniform, and his trouser legs were still frozen into lumps of ice.

After Officer Qi arrived, he chased away the onlookers and closed the door before entering Grandma Li's house to check the scene. He saw that the victim was lying prone on the ground with scars on the back of his head. The preliminary judgment was homicide.A person hit the back of the victim's head with a blunt object, resulting in the death of the victim.

Officer Qi checked other rooms in Grandma Li’s house, but found no murder weapon. A window on the balcony was open. Since there was no professional tool to detect fingerprints and footprints, Officer Qi checked around and asked us to close the window. closed.Officer Qi asked us again, what is missing at home?I took a look, and the only thing we brought to Grandma Li was a charcoal stove, which was placed next to the sofa.

"Probably a large piece of pork, some rice and charcoal. I don't know about the rest."

"When I first came, the door of the unit was open."

"I just pushed that away, just to see if outsiders entered the unit to commit crimes." Jiang Zhi explained beside him.

Officer Qi nodded after hearing this, and continued: "The window on the balcony is open, but just now I saw that there were no footprints below, and it didn't snow today. If there were footprints, they wouldn't be covered up so quickly, so it should be The criminals opened it on purpose to confuse everyone, and thus ruled out the possibility of outsiders committing the crime.” Officer Qi looked at us and continued, “It should be an acquaintance who committed the crime. At home, the victim was probably killed in the middle of the living room."

"As for the motive of committing the crime, the preliminary judgment should be caused by those foods." Officer Qi looked at us again after speaking.

My heart throbbed with what Officer Qi said. Although through our analysis, we also guessed that the incident was done by the neighbors, but after listening to Officer Qi, the cause was those materials, I still couldn’t help thinking, I indirectly killed Grandma Li. If I hadn't meddled in my business and sent so much food to Grandma Li, maybe Grandma Li would be fine.

Jiang Zhi saw the self-blame in my heart and said, "Don't think about it, it's not your fault."

Then he turned around and asked Officer Qi, "What should we do now?"

Officer Qi looked at the door and said, "Now you lock this room first. Let's go upstairs and talk."

Both Jiang Zhi and I saw that Officer Qi still had something to say to us, so we put away Grandma Li's body and waited for further processing when it was confirmed. We locked the door and went back upstairs together.

When I got back to my home, I didn't hear the cries of a few children. They should have calmed down in the bedroom.

Father Jiang came out of the bedroom when he heard the door open, and knowing that I was worried about the children, he whispered to me, "The children are all tired from crying and have fallen asleep in the bedroom."

I was relieved to know that the kids were all right.

I poured Officer Qi a cup of hot water, and wanted to sit on the sofa and listen to what Officer Qi had to say.Jiang Zhi first asked me to cook something for Officer Qi, and Officer Qi didn’t refuse, so I didn’t say anything else. I heated half a pot of haggis soup for him on the stove, put a curtain on the pot, and put A few big steamed buns go up.

While the meal was heating up, Officer Qi began to say: "This case should be done by people in your unit, at least they are participants."

Jiang Zhi and I didn't say anything because we didn't know what to say.

Police officer Qi added: "Among the people who were watching just now, some of them didn't have straight eyes."

I hurriedly asked, "Who are they all?"

Officer Qi thought for a while, "There is a young man wearing a black down jacket with a fur collar, not too tall at 174 cm, with a long face and small eyes..."

Before Police Officer Qi could finish his description, I shouted, "I see, he lives on the first floor of our house, and lives across the street from Grandma Li's."

Officer Qi went on to say: "There is also a middle-aged man in a black down jacket, about 176 centimeters tall, with a round face and long and thick eyebrows. Just now I saw a middle-aged woman who always glanced at him. His expression is not very natural."

Jiang Zhi said: "This is a resident on the third floor. His surname is Li, and he seems to be called Li Mingjun. He rented a stall selling seasonings in the market in front of our house. The one next to him should be Aunt Liu who lives opposite his house."

As soon as I heard the colors of the two down jackets, I knew who Officer Qi was talking about, "I know, it's the mother and daughter of the Zhang family upstairs from our house, and it was their son who came to us to steal a month ago."

"Well, as long as you know who it is, you should pay more attention to it in the future, but it's just that they are suspected, it doesn't mean that other people can't be the murderer."

I heard from Officer Qi that this murder case is just like this. If we want to find the murderer, let us find it ourselves.No, he's a policeman.

"Officer Qi, since you suspect those people, shouldn't you ask them to understand the situation?"

Officer Qi smiled after hearing what I said, "I am no longer a policeman, so I can only help you so much."

This news is too shocking, why is it not the police? Didn't they come as soon as the report was made, and they were still wearing police uniforms.

Jiang Zhi also frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Jiang Zhi also felt that there must be some reason for this incident. It is impossible for a good policeman to quit suddenly.

Officer Qi said sadly: "City D's police force is seriously insufficient now. Many grassroots policemen have resigned and returned home."

"why?"

Officer Qi looked at the pot sitting on the stove, "Why else, it's for food. Since our city was hit by a snowstorm, not many people in the entire city of D are still sticking to their jobs. The police are also human, There are also family members who want to eat. Now there is no place to buy food with money. We can only barter with people. The police spend all their time on maintaining law and order. When others rush to the supermarket to buy food, we are maintaining Order, when others cut down trees, we are catching thieves, we don’t care about it, but our family also suffers from cold and starvation, we are too incompetent as sons, husbands, and fathers .

Two days ago, a colleague of our police station worked for several days in a row. When he got home from get off work, he found that his old father had frozen to death at home for several days. "

Officer Qi was very excited when he said it, and we were also very worried when we heard it.

Officer Qi wiped his face with his hands, and then said: "So, some colleagues want to resign and find a place outside to cut down some trees and exchange some rice and charcoal. I don't know when the bad weather will get better. But the above Don't let it go, saying that there are few police officers now, and no one will maintain law and order when we leave this area, but everyone has already decided, let's take care of Xiaojia first. We all went home, so now we should be absent from work without reason People can wear this skin to frighten people, but they can’t do investigations.”

Officer Qi explained why he couldn't help us investigate the case, looked at us and said, "You're right, it's better to prepare more supplies than anything else, just to understand that the word "wealth is not revealed" is very reasonable. "He said and pointed to the charcoal stove next to the sofa and the pot on top of the charcoal stove.

"Then there are no police officers in the police station in our area?" I thought about the fact that no one answered my call to the police station today, so I asked.

"There's no one left. We've all gone home. But we still have some policemen in City D who take care of everyone's homes. Ha~ha~, our awareness is not high enough." Officer Qi laughed at himself a few times as he spoke. , and then fell silent again.

"Then no one cares about the murder that happened downstairs?" Jiang Zhi asked.

"Why is no one caring? Didn't I come in a police uniform?" Officer Qi patted his uniform and said.

We know the importance of this news. Now everyone still doesn't know that the police station is useless, so some criminals have some ideas that are just ideas. If everyone knows that the police station is empty, will there be a quiet life in the future?
Jiang Zhi sank for a while and said, "Thank you, Officer Qi, you can come, whether you can solve the case or not, you are helping me and our building."

I was taken aback when I heard Jiang Zhi say that, and then I figured it out.Our building doesn't stop, or Grandma Li wouldn't die today. Police officer Qi came today, just to deter criminals, but I don't know how much it will work and how long it will last.

"Today's case is basically determined to be done by an acquaintance, but there is no way to catch him now, so you should pay attention in the future. Your family is now a fat sheep in the eyes of others." Officer Qi reminded us.

Yes, thanks to my greediness, the smell of meat has wafted from our house several times. The Zhang family upstairs also knew that we have meat to eat when they came. Although we explained it, we don’t know if they believe it or not.And we helped Grandma Li, everyone in this unit should know about it, and everyone would think that our family has a lot of supplies, and if we can’t get enough to eat, we won’t help others.

I am a little regretful now, I was too hasty in doing things, too thoughtless.

"We will pay attention to it in the future. What about our neighbor's corpse? It can't be placed in the house." Jiang Zhi said considering the current situation downstairs.

"Now there is no fuel in the crematorium, so if there are dead people, they should be put in the morgue first. The weather is so cold and you are not afraid of bad weather. After the disaster is over, they will be cremated." Officer Qi talked about the way to deal with the dead now. "but……"

Officer Qi stopped speaking halfway.
