Chapter 42

"Excuse me, is this Nie Xiaoqing's home?" Ye Xiao looked at a middle-aged man in his 50s through the open door.

"I'm sorry, she's not at home." The other party said coldly.

Ye Xiao knew that the other party didn't trust him, so he took out his ID and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a police officer, and I want to ask about her situation."

"Then please come in."

The house is large and well decorated, and it can be seen that the family's economic conditions are good.Ye Xiao asked: "Are you Nie Xiaoqing's father?"

"That's right. Please sit down." Nie Xiaoqing's father looked very polite, "What would you like to drink?"

"No, I just want to know about Nie Xiaoqing's situation."

"Do you have any news about Xiaoqing? She has been missing for more than a month, and we are all worried about her." Nie Xiaoqing's father said with concern, his deep fatherly love was beyond words.However, although it is said that his daughter is like his father, Ye Xiao can't see Nie Xiaoqing (Lan Yue) at all from his face, especially those eyes, while the middle-aged man in front of him has a pair of small eyes, and Her gaze seemed a little dull, and she couldn't compare with Nie Xiaoqing's (Blue Moon) eyes at all. Maybe she inherited her mother's genes.

"No, not yet."

"We are very worried about what will happen to her. I don't think she will run away for no reason. Although her character is a bit different, she is a good girl and she will never go to the step of running away from home." His father's words seemed firm.

"But she's an adult."

Nie Xiaoqing's father smiled slightly and said, "In the eyes of parents, children will always be children."

Ye Xiao nodded, he had to agree with this sentence."I can understand how you feel as parents," he said.

"Xiaoqing was different when she was a child. She was introverted and didn't like to communicate with other children. She didn't even talk to her parents much. Moreover, she often said things that didn't match her age."

"Words that don't match your age?"

"Don't get me wrong, I mean, she can say a lot of profound words that adults can say at a young age. For example, philosophy, she was able to read philosophy books by herself when she was in elementary school, which obviously does not meet her age, but She actually understood it. And mathematics, she was able to solve the math problems of the second grade in the third grade, which surprised the teacher. Later, someone came to give her an intelligence test, and the conclusion was that her IQ Much higher than children of the same age."

"So, did anything special happen to her when she was a child?"

"A special thing?" Nie Xiaoqing's father thought for a while and said, "There was one thing. In the summer when she was 10 years old, I remember that it was very hot. She woke up suddenly at night and cried for no reason. She said She dreamed of a woman who was still talking to her. The next day passed peacefully, but at night, just after dinner, she suddenly burst into tears, also for no reason, we have never seen She cried so sadly before. Ask her why she cried, she said she saw a man who was hit by a big truck and died while crossing the road, and her mother and I thought the child was talking nonsense. Staying at home, she didn't even look out the window, and the place was far away from the road, and she couldn't see the road from the window, but she said she saw a person killed by a truck. Isn't that a hell. We persuaded her not to cry, but she kept crying on her own, until midnight, without sleeping, the tears wet the pillow, crying so much that her mother and I were sad, thinking that she It’s true that if you have a high IQ, you’re prone to mental disorders. However, a few days later, I accidentally saw a piece of social news in the newspaper. The news said that on the night Xiaoqing cried , there was a car accident on a road in Xuhui District, a middle-aged man was hit and killed by a truck while crossing the road. Only then did I believe what Xiaoqing said, what she said was indeed true, but that The car accident happened one night in Xuhui District, which is half Shanghai away from our Hongkou place. How did she see it? It’s really unbelievable. From then on, I believe that Xiaoqing is different , may have some special ability beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

"Did that happen in 1988?" Ye Xiao asked in surprise.

"Yes, that year."

Ye Xiao immediately thought of Bai Bi's father, Bai Zhengqiu. He died in the summer of 1988. He was also killed by a car accident while crossing the road, and the accident happened in Xuhui District.Ye Xiao suddenly thought of Stephen King's "The Dead Zone", which was about a person with supernatural powers who could see anything beyond the limitations of time and space.Could it be that Nie Xiaoqing (Lan Yue) is such a person?Ye Xiao looked at her father again, but this middle-aged man looked so mediocre.

Ye Xiao asked him: "I'm sorry, may I ask if your family has any genetic disease history? Or did any of the previous generations of your family have any special characters?"

"Why do you ask this? Xiaoqing's mother and I are very ordinary people, and they are both very healthy. There is no genetic history as you mentioned, and the ancestors of our family are also very ordinary people. What does this have to do with Xiaoqing?" Does it matter?"

Ye Xiao fell into confusion. He said to himself: "This is strange. Could it be a genetic mutation? Then what is the cause of the genetic mutation? Is it environmental pollution or a psychological problem caused by family?" He thought again I just read a Japanese psychological novel "Hypnosis". Although the film of the same name is a very popular horror film, the so-called "green monkey" in it is creepy.However, the original novel is quite different from it. It mainly analyzes how the heroine has a split personality due to her childhood family environment and has some superhuman abilities, but it has nothing to do with horror novels.

Nie Xiaoqing's father didn't quite understand Ye Xiao's words to himself, and he said to Ye Xiao: "I'm sorry, officer, do you think Xiaoqing is different because of some inherited disease? If it is In this way, then you don't need to find the reason on me and her mother, because Xiaoqing is not our own."

"What did you say?" This surprised Ye Xiao.

"Yes, Xiaoqing is not our biological daughter. In fact, she is our adopted daughter, but in our eyes, she is no different from our biological daughter. We have no children of our own. 20 years ago, we went to children's The welfare home, that is, the orphanage, adopted a child. We named her Nie Xiaoqing. We raised her and treated her as our only biological daughter. We loved her, cherished her, worried about her illness, and worried about her We are proud of our achievements, and now we shed tears every day because of her disappearance, just like all parents in the world." When he was speaking, Ye Xiao could see the paternal love in his eyes.

Ye Xiao said flatly: "I understand now." Then he stood up and said goodbye.

"Officer, you must find Xiaoqing for us."

"Don't worry, I will try my best, goodbye."

Ye Xiao bid farewell to Nie Xiaoqing's home and returned to his car. He quietly thought about all the words he had just heard, and the face of Nie Xiaoqing (Lan Yue) appeared in his mind again.Suddenly, he thought of something, and his heart trembled. At this moment, it was almost dusk, but he still quickly started the car and drove towards the direction of Suzhou Creek.
