The uncle from the commissary looked down.

He carefully stared at every facial feature on Xiao Yu's face. The child's expression... was indeed nothing unusual, he didn't feel panicked when he was caught, and he didn't feel any extra nervousness. Screaming like a noisy brat.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." The uncle from the commissary smiled gently at Xiaoyu, "Uncle thought...you were doing something bad." Xiaoyu rolled his eyes at

him, and he pretended to be naive and flirted with his uncle, and they said a few words , Uncle turned his hand to touch the black and white kitten on the glass cabinet.

"Thank you for helping uncle look after the store, and also helping uncle find Xiaoqi."

The uncle from the commissary kept his promise and handed the brown 20 yuan to Xiao Yu:

"Come on, this is the agreement, I'm looking for a cat." Thirty yuan."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Xiao Yu smiled innocently and happily, and he took the money and ran back home.

As soon as he got home, Xiao Yu quickly took out his notebook and pen, and drew the English letters he saw in the canteen just now.

,

"Do you know what this means?"

Ding bell, ding bell-

the bell rang for the end of class. Chu Feng put away the Chinese textbook, and pushed a small note on the wooden table:

Dr. Psy

Shiming Ji

Little Chu Feng looked at Xiao Yu curiously: "Where did you get it?

" Yu hesitated a little, "I saw it at... the neighbor's uncle's house. It might be a certificate." "

This should be a degree certificate." Little Chu Feng leaned over and lay down on Xiao Yu's little note to study.

Chu Feng was a little nervous. Psy was a word he saw by chance in his extra-curricular English class. He was a little uncertain how to pronounce it. He secretly thought of several pronunciations in his heart. He will find out, but he doesn't want to mispronounce words in front of Xiao Yu.

Little Chu Feng adjusted his pronunciation, calm as always, and said:

"The first Dr. should mean doctor, Psy... means Psychology. The latter one is the pinyin of his name, Ji Ji... shiming Shiming?"

Xiao Yu listened and listened, his eyes moved from the little note to Xiao Chu Feng's face.

After the first class, the sun outside was already high. Little Chu Feng was next to his hand, looking at the letters he wrote, his black eyelashes cast slender shadows on the small note. The sunlight from outside the window came in, and the golden light spots fell on the raised eyelashes of little Chu Feng. When he blinked, the light spots were like broken rain, rushing into the air... "Hey! Are you listening to me

? ?"

Little Chu Feng suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiao Yu.

"...Well."

Xiao Yu turned his eyes away and stopped looking at Chu Feng.

Little Chu Feng was a little angry. He thought he would be amazed by Xiao Yu. After all, he memorized such a difficult line about Psychology! He had paid special attention to his pronunciation just now, but Xiao Yu waited for him: Hmm.

Little Chu Feng looked at Xie Shiyu angrily.

"What are you talking about?" Sun Bing in front turned his head, wanting to join their conversation:

"Wow! English alphabet? Who wrote it? And pinyin?"

The first-grade children have just learned pinyin, Xiao Yu even consonant The rhyme has not been recognized clearly yet, but Xiao Chu Feng and Sun Bing in the same class have already attended extracurricular classes and won the starting line. They spelled the name almost immediately: "Shiming Ji, real name chicken?" Sun Bing said

: "Who is this?"

Little Chu Feng rolled his eyes.

Sun Bing: "This real-name chicken is quite powerful. It's a doctor."

Little Chu Feng thought of Xiao Yu saying that he saw it at a neighbor's house, and he asked, "

Is this the neighbor who asked you to find a cat last time?" ?"

Xiao Yu hummed.

The uncle at the commissary was indeed suspicious.

Doctor of psychology, or a doctor from abroad, the uncle of the commissary may be just a cover, or, the uncle of the commissary is not really Li Dawei, his real name may be Ji Shiming.

,

"Did you listen to the radio yesterday? The English channel."

On the way back from school, Xiao Yu suddenly said as the children walked hand in hand.

"No. I went home to do my math homework yesterday." Little Chu Feng was held by Xiao Yu's little hand.

"I listened, I listened!"

Sun Bing, who was in front of him, became excited when he heard English. Sun Bing made a condescending gesture, and said mercifully to Xiao Yu:

"If you heard something that you don't understand, you can ask me."

Xie Shiyu ignored his attitude and said directly: "Yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock Left and right, it seems to be the FBI news."

"Oh, that, the wording in that news is very simple." Sun Bing boasted, in fact, he didn't understand at all, but he has special words for his homework every day. His tutor tutored him, and the tutor understood.

Xie Shiyu: "What did the news say yesterday?"

"It said..." Sun Bing was about to say, when he suddenly understood, he smiled and said to Xie Shiyu,

"You want to know so much?"

Xiao Yu: "Yes."

"Haha!" Sun Bing finally grasped Xiao Yu's handle, and said, "Then please beg me, please, I will tell you.

" The tree was full of caterpillars to scare him, but I haven't settled with him yet! Such a good opportunity this time can't let go! In his imagination, the man surnamed Xie in the back would have to humbly beg him for mercy, begging him to tell him the content of the English news, and then...

Sun Bing imagined that he would clear his throat and look at everyone in amazement. Here, he told the content of the news translated by the tutor yesterday, and was praised by all the children including Chu Feng from Class A!

,

Sun Bing was thinking...

Behind Xiao Yu shrugged lightly: "Oh, forget it."

Sun Bing was stunned for a while.

The children around were not interested in the FBI news either, they were all talking about dinosaurs, remote control trucks... Soon, Xie Shiyu chatted with Chu Feng about other things, and did not care about the FBI news in English at all.

This time Sun Bing scratched his head anxiously, this was his only chance to pretend to be aggressive, and he didn't know when the next time would be. English is not formally learned until the second grade of elementary school. Is he going to survive until then!

Xie Shiyu and Chu Feng behind were laughing, and they talked about something interesting. Sun Bing held back for a long time, then turned around and thanked Shi Yu,

"Don't you want to know the news about the FBI?"

Xiao Yu held Xiao Chu Feng with one hand, put the other hand in his trouser pocket, and said coldly :

"Think about it. I'm afraid you don't know."

Sun Bing: "How could I not know! I can understand everything!!"

Xie Shiyu secretly squeezed Chu Feng's little palm. Little Chu Feng said in a timely manner:

"You are from Class B, do you understand?"

The children around laughed again.

Sun Bing immediately seemed like a gun exploded: "What about Class B! You haven't even taken an English class!"

Xie Shiyu: "But you can't tell what the FBI news said yesterday."

Sun Bing: "Who Say I can't tell!"

Xie Shiyu: "Then just say it."

Sun Bing: "Why should I tell you for nothing! You begged me to tell."

Xiao Yu hissed, and the boys behind him also booed. Xie Shiyu reached out and patted Sun Bing on the shoulder:

"Just tell me if you don't understand, don't make excuses. It's okay, it seems that this show will be rebroadcasted. I'll ask Class A to listen to it for me." Xiao Yu held English

tightly Class A's little Chu Feng's hand.

"Damn!" Sun Bing cursed,

"Who says I don't understand! The news is that the FBI is investigating a case." The

surrounding children also pulled up their ears to listen.

Xie Shiyu: "I can tell that they are investigating a case even if I don't speak English. What case?"

Sun Bing lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious:

"Serial murders, scary?"

Xiao Yu: "Oh."

Sun Bing: " In the United States, in California, the indiscriminate crime has killed 12 people in a row, and each person has been dismembered. The first corpse was divided into 24 pieces, and each additional person killed will be divided into 24 pieces. When the twelfth person is killed, the body will be divided into thirty-six yuan!"

Several girls shouted: "Stop talking!"

Sun Bing laughed triumphantly.

"Isn't it also in the news recently?" Chu Feng turned to Xie Shiyu and said,

"It is said that the western city found..."

Xie Shiyu: "Corpse."

Chu Feng: "You know?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yu: "They are both dismemberment cases..."

"What do you mean are dismemberment cases, how can these two be the same?" Sun Bing said contemptuously: "In the news, both Having said that, it was just cutting up the body and throwing the body. Maybe it was a panic that killed someone. Just cut it up and threw it into the river. It doesn't have to be a serial killing. The FBI's case shocked foreign countries, killing ten people in a row. Two people, the murderer can't catch it until now!"

--Dismember the corpse.

Xiao Yu was thoughtful.

The team after school separated at the intersection.

Little Chu Feng stopped at the spot for a while, watching Xiao Yu walk into the side road on the left by himself, walking farther and farther. He paused and walked back to the right to go home.

Xiao Yu on the left ran all the way home, and the dark tree shadows passed by him. He was already convinced in his heart that the uncle of the commissary was the murderer on the news, and he couldn't help committing the crime again after returning from abroad.

--I must tell my mother about this immediately.

"Mom-"

Xiao Yu opened the door.

Mom is at home today. The "hunt" seemed to be over prematurely, with wallets and stolen bags strewn all over the living room.

My mother stood up in a panic, kicked all the things under the sofa, turned her head, and smiled a little:

"Yuyu, you are back."

Xiaoyu is very sensible, he pretends not to understand what his mother is doing Well, he hummed and walked back to his room.

As soon as he closed the door, he heard rustling sounds in the living room. Mom dragged out all kinds of stolen bags, counted the money, and sorted it out by category.

"Yuyu."

After dinner, Xiaoyu stood on the small stool to wash the dishes, and his mother handed him a black plastic bag:

"You can go and give this to the uncle in room 304 later."

The obedient Xiaoyu, this time rarely stood still.

Mom: "What's wrong?"

"Mom." Xiao Yu didn't pick up the black plastic bag:

"The uncle in room 304 is a little strange."

Mom put down her stolen brand-name bag and touched Xiao Yu: "What happened?" Huh?" Xiao Yu: "The uncle in room 304 ,

isn't his name Li Dawei?

: "You even discovered this? The uncle in room 304 is called Ji Shiming, and Li Dawei is just... a convenient name."

This time, Xiaoyu was surprised: "Mom...do you know his name?"

Mom laughed She smiled: "Stupid boy, like us...those who make money by reselling things will have a few aliases."

Mom thought for a while, with a bit of guilt on her face: "But this is a bad thing, you can't learn it, You have to study hard, get into a good university in the future, and find a serious job, you know?"

Xiao Yu: "But... the uncle of the commissary seems to have a high degree of education, and he can understand the radio in English. Why doesn't he How about looking for a serious job?"

"Because..." Mom lowered her head, "sometimes... a serious job doesn't make that much money... Okay! Don't ask so many questions, kids! Go and deliver the bag "

Xiao Yu: "But! That day I saw my uncle tie a strange knot on the milk crate! And he didn't move the milk crate to the canteen at all..." "Xie Shiyu." ,

Xiao

Yu

lowered his head, no Besides, he obediently lifted the black bag:

"I'll just go."

Xiao Yu turned his head sullenly and wanted to leave.

"Yuyu."

His mother called him, Xie Shiyu turned his head, and suddenly saw a red plastic rope in his mother's hand, with a very strange knot tied on it!

It's exactly the same as the uncle's in the commissary!

"This kind of knot can't be untied." Mom said, she took a pair of scissors and cut it: "It can be opened only in this way."

--A knot that must be cut with scissors.

Xiao Yu suddenly understood that what was in the milk box of the uncle at the commissary was not milk, but stolen goods that needed to be sold to buyers. If this kind of dead knot is tied to the rope binding the box, if someone wants to peek at the goods in the box, he needs to untie the knot and tie it again.

But this knot is very special, except for those who are involved in this series of transactions, such as mothers and uncles in the commissary, they will learn this knot. It is impossible for outsiders who have not learned it to tie this kind of knot.

If the buyer receives the box from the uncle of the commissary, the seal on the box is intact and a special knot is tied, which can fully explain that the goods have not been touched by outsiders to a certain extent.

Xiao Yu blinked.

"Okay! Don't think about it anymore." Mom squatted down and touched Xiao Yu's head, "You are a very smart child, but sometimes you are too smart, easy to think about it, don't think about it. Commissary Uncle is a very good person."

,

Third floor.

Seven-year-old Xiao Yu stood at the door of Room 304 with a black bag in his left hand.

Through the gap in the bag, he saw some empty cans inside, under which were hidden several brand-name bags and flashing cards.

"Uncle is a very good person."

My mother's words echoed in my mind.

There are reasonable explanations for the red plastic rope, the strange way of knotting, the degree of doctorate, and the doubts about the uncle.

Everything is like he thinks too much.

Shi Yu stretched out his hand.

Just about to knock on the door of Room 304-

"Oh, isn't this Xiao Yu! What are you doing here?"

Xie Shiyu turned around and saw the aunt in Room 401 climbing up from the stairs.

The rose red printed nightdress wrapped her fat body, and the sweat dripping from her neck, mixed with the cheap perfume on her body, smelt her nostrils.

Xiao Yu took half a step back. My mother never came to find the uncle in the canteen by herself, and the big reason was this aunt who could chew people's tongues.

The aunt obviously lives in Room 401 and is a resident of the building behind, but she walks around like patrolling in their building every day.

My mother is a woman who lives alone, and my father will only come home after taking drugs outside and running out of money. If my mother enters the uncle's room in Room 304 by herself, and happens to be bumped into by the aunt, I don't know what will be said. If that kind of words reached Dad's ears...

Xiao Yu thought about it, and Mom would probably be beaten to death. The aunt walked towards him kindly, smiling: "Xiao Yu

, what are you doing here alone, why don't you go home?"

With a creased smile: "What is this? Show auntie!"

Xiao Yu opened it slightly, revealing the empty soda can in the bag.

"Oh! Are you still collecting soda cans and selling them to this uncle? You're so good, good boy!" As the aunt said, she was about to put her face on Xiao Yu's, as if she wanted to kiss him.

Xiao Yu took half a step back in fright.

Squeak-

the door of Room 304 opened.

The uncle of the canteen grabbed Xiao Yu.

He dragged Xiao Yu into the house and avoided the aunt. Turning around and smiling:

"Oh, big sister, how about taking a walk?"

The aunt said awkwardly: "Yes."

The uncle smiled and said, "Go for a walk in the yard, why are you walking in the corridor?" The

aunt turned around: "Isn't this going down?"

The uncle at the commissary hit the nail on the head: "Sister, you live in 401 in the building behind. It seems that you have been visiting our building recently. Is there someone you know who is moving here? Or is there a baby in our building?" Auntie: "No,

no Haha, I'm just wandering around, Xiao Xie's and I live on the fourth floor, and there's usually an intersecting staircase, so it's nice to hang out with each other! Isn't it, Xiao Yu?" Xiao Yu remained

silent .

The uncle smiled, sent the aunt away in a few words, and took Xiao Yu into the house.

"Here you are."

Xiao Yu handed over the black bag.

He watched his uncle's reaction carefully.

The uncle of the canteen had a natural expression and was very kind, he opened the black bag, looked at the bags and cards, then took out another black bag from under the bed, and handed it to Xiao Yu: "Come on, take it, your little snack~

! "

Xu Yu picked up the heavy black bag, he knew that it contained money, but the money was filled with Xiaodangjia crispy noodles, spicy sticks and small biscuit snacks, it was a fool.

--I don't know who to fool.

Him, uncle, mother. We all know what's going on.

Xiao Yu glanced at the black bag, and shouted immaturely like a child: "Wow! There are so many snacks!"

Uncle narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yu: "Are you happy?"

Xiao Yu: "Yes! Happy!"

He carried the black bag , like all seven-year-old children, turned around bouncing and going to open the door, Xiaoyu wanted to leave his uncle's house quickly...

rattling.

Shi Yu pulled the latch on the door.

But the door didn't creak - open as usual.

-The door was locked with a key.

Xiao Yu felt a chill in his heart.

Uncle's cool voice came from behind:

"Stop pretending."

,

"What is Uncle talking about?"

"You have seen my degree certificate today, right?

" Yu opened the door.

Xiao Yu made up his mind, turned his head, and faced his uncle.

Too many words and too many mistakes, Xiao Yu chose to remain silent.

"Today's drawer...is great." Ji Shiming squatted down and talked to Xiao Yu:

"You found the position of the key, opened it and turned it back. You also found my hand cream."

Ji Shiming chuckled a few times, He stretched out his hand and raised it in front of Xiao Yu.

"You must be very curious, why did I find out that you did such a perfect job?"

Ji Shiming stared at the child in front of him, wanting to see him trembling with fear. This kid would never guess that he had installed surveillance video in the canteen long ago. No matter what Xiao Yu does inside, no matter how seamlessly he does it, he will find out.

Xiao Yu looked directly at the middle-aged man in front of him, this man who often carried suitcases, his hands were very well maintained, whiter and tenderer than women, exuding an elegant floral fragrance. It is extremely disproportionate to this man's age and life.

"Surveillance video."

Xiao Yu calmed down and thought of it.

At that time, installing surveillance video was very expensive. But... the canteen uncle doesn't care, he doesn't make money from the canteen in the first place.

There was a bit of surprise on Ji Shiming's face, which soon turned into strange appreciation.

"You are a very smart child." Ji Shiming put his hand into Xiao Yu's black bag, took out a few packets of snacks, and threw them away: "

You are much smarter than your mother imagined, you don't need these boring things at all." Cover up."

Pa--pa.

Xiaodangjia's crispy noodles were thrown away, revealing the naked red hundred-dollar bill underneath.

Xiao Yu still didn't speak, he silently stared at his uncle's every move.

Every time he comes to his uncle's house, he always carries the bag with his left hand, because his right hand...in the pocket of his trousers, there is a utility knife that he always carries with him. If necessary... "Uncle doesn't like

children who lie to others." Ji Shiming took it from the cabinet next to him. Take out a box of gold foil glass and hand it to Xiao Yu:

"So let's be honest. Huh? Uncle's name is not Li Dawei, and you are not a naive seven-year-old. We all have secrets, so help each other keep them secret, okay?" Oh

, It turned out to be a hush money.

Xiao Yu lowered his head and looked at the box of expensive foreign imported chocolates in front of him.

"Ferrero."

Ji Shiming put the box of chocolates into Xiao Yu's black bag:

"Imported from Italy, hazelnut chocolate, go back and taste it, you will like it."

Xiao Yu looked down at the snacks he had never seen before, Transparent glass box, incomprehensible English, chocolate balls wrapped in gold foil paper, delicate and beautiful.

rattling.

Ji Shiming unlocked the lock for Xiao Yu, creaked - the door opened.

"Let's go..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a black shadow rushing past him.

Xiao Yu didn't run out immediately, but rushed back to the living room, picking up some cheap snacks such as Xiaodangjia crispy noodles and spicy sticks that had just been thrown away by his uncle. Put them one by one in their own black bags.

Ji Shiming: "..."

Xiao Yu took Ferrero chocolates and all kinds of snacks, regardless of whether they were expensive or cheap, and made sure that every package was in his own bag, and then he jumped to the door again, laughing. He waved his hands:

"Goodbye, uncle! Thank you for the chocolate, uncle!"

Ji Shiming: "..."

He watched Xiao Yu climb up the stairs and disappeared before his eyes.

Ji Shiming shook his head and closed the door. Sometimes he felt that the child was terribly clever. Sometimes I feel that maybe I think too much. How high is a seven-year-old child's IQ? Xiao Xie is just more sensitive than ordinary children because of family factors.

Squeak-bang.

The door to room 304 is closed.

On the quiet stairs, in the gap between the handrails, there is a pair of eyes watching quietly.

Xiao Yu has been cat on the stairs on the fourth floor, watching his uncle, he saw his uncle closed the door of Room 304, it is impossible to follow him up, so Xiao Yu stood up and opened the door of Room 404.

"Mom, I'm back."

At

night, Xiao Yu was lying in front of his small desk, drawing a graffiti diary.

The dilapidated canteen, the uncle who has business dealings with my mother, has another identity. Although there are explanations for the doubts about the uncle, it's still... very strange.

Xiao Yu drew a circle and a slash next to the uncle in the commissary, a sign of no entry, just in case, when inviting Xiao Chu Feng to play at home, he also needed to avoid the uncle in room 304.

Xiao Yu looked at the snacks and chocolates he had received, touched the 30 yuan in his pocket, and went to the department store tomorrow to buy some imported snacks, and then... he could invite Xiao Chu Feng to his house as a guest!

Xiao Yu thought happily, he took a pen, and drew a few slender stick figures on the paper for practice. After Chu Feng came to his house, he could draw the stick figure representing Little Chu Feng into his In Doodle Diary!

On the dilapidated desk, a small warm desk lamp illuminates the long dark night.
