The door was opened, and the old man was standing in front of the door.

Dongdong...

Dongdong...

The rhythmic and not too noisy knock on the door sounded, accompanied by the meow of the fat cat at home. At this time, the old man standing on the balcony, wearing a white vest and watering the flowers, slowly turned his head, grabbed the cane beside him, and walked to the door with a heavy and light sound.

The door opened, and the gray fat cat rushed out like a wild horse, but was caught by a pair of strong hands.

"Meow!"

"Old man, you have to teach this cat a lesson. It will get lost again if it rushes out as soon as the door is opened." Ye Shuang smiled and weighed the gas tank in his hand again.

He sank his hand.

"Maybe it's in heat." The old man smiled kindly when he saw Ye Shuang.

"Then open an egg."

As soon as Ye Shuang finished speaking, the blue cat, which was just twisting its body in his hands, suddenly became quiet. It began to lick its nose nervously, and its eyes were wide open.

"Old man, are you busy? Am I disturbing you at this time?" Ye Shuang felt that he had made a decision on the spur of the moment and forgot to buy a bag of fruit.

"No, no, come in. There's nothing to entertain you at home."

After Ye Shuang came in, he put the blue cat on the ground. This house was very old, and the air was filled with a strange smell of Chinese medicine. There was a group photo of the old man's family next to the old TV. It was full of things, and there were seven or eight people in total.

"That's my son and daughter. They graduated from a prestigious university. Now they have settled abroad." The old man noticed that Ye Shuang was looking at the photo, and his tone was full of pride, and even his turbid eyes brightened a little.

"Why don't you go?"

"Hey, I'm so old, wouldn't it just cause trouble for the children if I go there?" The old man's wrinkled face was forced to smile, but Ye Shuang could sense loneliness in his eyes.

Even at an old age, the old man as a parent still considers them from the perspective of their children.

"Old man, to be honest, I want to know about Bai Yuyou's family." After sitting down, Ye Shuang also briefly stated the purpose of his visit.

"And how much do you know?"

When the old man heard Ye Shuang ask him this, he seemed to be lost in thought, and after a moment he said, "Young man, it seems that you don't know about his family, but since you want to know, I can tell you what I know."

"The owner of that house is called Bai Laoqi. In fact, he didn't live in the downstairs house before. His family lived on the top floor of the next building, which is the one with the attic."

"He also has a slightly younger wife. I don't know what the two do for a living, but they shouldn't be doing anything serious."

Ye Shuang heard this , curiously asked, "Why do you say that?"

The old man smiled, "I used to be the security guard of this community. Last time I saw them coming back late at night, I casually asked why they got off work so late. Who knew that Bai Laoqi pointed at my nose and scolded me, as if he had done something guilty."

Ye Shuang pondered for a while and asked, "Then, about the child?"

"Actually, this is what I want to say, old man." The old man continued, "Bai Laoqi and his wife, I don't know who is not good, that Bai Laoqi's wife's belly has never grown,"

"But One day, a child appeared beside them, probably about five or six years old. Bai Laoqi said that the child was born in his hometown in the countryside, and had been raised by his grandmother before, but now he was brought up here. "

The old man suddenly snorted, "The child is pink and tender, and looks cute, and the clothes she wears don't look like she came from the countryside?"

"But every time someone asked Bai Laoqi, he always thickened his neck and shouted that he would chop anyone who talked nonsense again."

"And Bai Laoqi is not kind. He always beats the child after drinking, and often beats the child of that age. The child was beaten unconscious, but this was a family matter, and since Bai Laoqi was used to being rude, he would take out a knife to chop people when he disagreed with someone, so no one dared to intervene. "

"After a while, everyone got used to it."

"But after a few years, Bai Laoqi didn't seem to show up again, but Bai Laoqi's wife said that the child had dementia due to the shock, and would use a knife to chop people like her father, so she locked her in the attic to prevent her from hurting people."

"Many years later, Bai Laoqi's wife suddenly sold the house and bought another one in this community, which is where she lives now."

"But for some reason, the wife of Bai Laoqi also disappeared two years ago, leaving the child behind."

"Now the child has grown up, but she is indeed sick. She doesn't respond when I call her, and she doesn't respond when I talk to her. She is in a daze." The old man said with a bit of regret, "I don't know any more details."

After hearing all this, Ye Shuang felt cold all over, because he thought of a terrible possibility - but there were still some things he couldn't figure out.

"Old man, is Bai Laoqi's family rich?"

"Not really, he likes gambling, often borrows money from people, and likes to steal."

Ye Shuang frowned slightly.

"Young man, what is your relationship with that child? I think she is different from before. Did she get treatment?"

Ye Shuang shook his head, "She has never been sick, but she has been locked up and lacks communication skills and knowledge... For now, my relationship with her is that I take care of her."

Hearing that Bai Yuyou was not sick, the old man slapped his thigh and became excited, "What a sin!"

"By the way, old man, do you know the whereabouts of Bai Laoqi and his wife?"

"This..." The old man thought about it, and finally shook his head,

"I heard from a neighbor that Bai Laoqi seemed to be arrested by the police, saying that he hacked someone to death."

"His wife said that he ran away with another man."

"But these are all rumors, I don't know the details."

Ye Shuang nodded, and then he confirmed, "Old man, the owner of the house is Bai Laoqi's wife, right?"

"It should be?"

"Okay."

After saying goodbye to the old man, Ye Shuang returned to the door downstairs with a heavy heart.

That man and woman...it's very likely that they are not Bai Yuyou's real parents. Of course, this is just Ye Shuang's guess, but at least - the so-called parents are not good to Bai Yuyou at all.

A child of several years old was beaten into coma. Ye Shuang couldn't imagine what Bai Yuyou felt and experienced when he was young.

"We have to move. Who knows when those guys will come back." Ye Shuang exhaled deeply and murmured.

Then take Bai Yuyou to the police station to register the information. Uploading DNA data is very important.
