Chapter 75 They are a couple

But there was still no movement, as if no one was at home.

Several people couldn't help feeling nervous. This was not the simple era of the past. How could they go out without locking the door?
Zhou Zhinan walked straight in. Xiaomao was a step slower, and when he reacted, he also followed.

There were a lot of things piled up in the small living room, and it looked very messy, especially because it had not been sorted out.

After a quick scan of the living room and finding no one there, Zhou Zhinan walked towards one of the rooms, while Xiao Tao and Xu Yang checked other places respectively.

"Meow."

"here."

Xiaohua is always the first one to find someone. After seeing him, she immediately turns around and calls Zhou Zhinan.

After hearing the noise, Zhou Zhinan immediately turned around and headed towards the direction where the sound came from.

Then, at the place where Zhou Xiaohua went, he saw someone lying on the bed.

Judging from the slight rise and fall of his body, it could be seen that the other person was still breathing, but Zhou Zhinan still frowned and quickly stepped forward to check.

When Zhou Zhinan walked to the bed and turned over the person lying on his side, he saw an elderly man, who should be Wu Jiajia's father, Wu Lei. His eyes were closed and his breathing was even. He seemed to be asleep.

"Boss."

Xiao Tao and Xu Yang also came over, and their expressions were a little serious when they saw the situation.

Zhou Zhinan said: "It's okay, he must have fallen asleep."

As he spoke, Zhou Zhinan called out softly, trying to wake the person up.

Zhou Zhinan shouted several times before waking the man up from his sleep.

But after the man opened his eyes, he still looked at them blankly, not knowing who they were or why they were here.

Wu Lei let out a confused "Ah" and just stared blankly at the person in front of him, but he just lay there motionless.

"Hello, Mr. Wu. We are from the criminal police team. We are here to ask you something." Xu Yang said.

But Wu Lei still looked at them with a confused expression, without any reaction.

There was a brief silence, and several people looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

Just when they were thinking about what to do next, there was a sudden noise outside and they all looked back vigilantly.

A middle-aged woman appeared outside.

"Who are you?" Xiao Tao looked at the other person in confusion.

The woman said a little awkwardly: "Well, I'm the landlord of this building. I heard someone was coming, so I came to check it out."

Before Zhou Zhinan and the others could ask, the landlord took the initiative to explain, "He's usually alone at home, and he has Alzheimer's, so I came to check on him."

"Are you police officers?" The landlord looked at them with some suspicion.

The group came to the living room. Xiao Tao stepped forward and took out his ID card so that the other party could verify his identity.

After reading it, the landlord became even more restrained and asked helplessly, "So what are you here to check? Is there something wrong with their house?"

Regardless of the relationship between the landlord and this family, if there really was any problem with them living here, she would feel uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, I just want to come over and find out about some things." Xiao Tao said.

"Oh." The landlord nodded, not knowing whether she believed him or not. She also didn't know what to say. For a moment, the scene felt a bit strange. After a brief silence, Zhou Zhinan asked, "Where are his wife and son? In his current condition, is there no one at home to take care of him?"

The landlord explained, "His wife is doing handicrafts out front, and his son is busy too, so he doesn't come home often."

Speaking of this, the landlord couldn't help but sigh, "They have lived here for many years, and they have some feelings for each other. They are really a family..."

The landlord shook his head as he spoke, his eyes filled with helplessness towards his fate.

"Then you should know their family quite well. Would you be willing to talk to us about it?" Xiao Tao asked.

The landlord nodded and continued, "Their family came to live with me more than ten years ago, when Jiajia and Mingyu were still young."

"Although it's not easy, it's a happy family being together."

"Later, Jiajia went to study art. The financial pressure on the family was getting greater and greater. Jiajia was sensible and initially didn't want to study anymore, but the teacher said Jiajia had talent and if she studied hard, she would definitely have a bright future."

"Mingyu just stopped studying and said he wouldn't study no matter what. So let Jiajia study art."

"At that time, Old Wu and his wife also tried to persuade him, but it was of no use."

At this point, the landlord added, "Yes, Mingyu is not the son of Old Wu and his wife."

"Not theirs?" Zhou Zhinan's expression changed slightly.

The landlord nodded. "Yes, Mingyu wasn't born to them. They only had Jiajia. It's said that after Mingyu's parents passed away, their relatives didn't want to take care of Mingyu and even kicked him out of the house."

"Old Wu and his wife, because they only had Jiajia as their daughter, had always felt a little uncomfortable. Under those circumstances, they decided to adopt Mingyu."

"Mingyu was desperate at the time. He was lucky to have a place to live and food to eat, so he naturally wouldn't disagree."

"That's also why Mingyu didn't want to go to school when his family was under a lot of pressure. He felt like he already owed them a lot."

"Mingyu is a good person, and Jiajia is also a good person. Even after going to college, they didn't dislike Mingyu."

"You don't dislike him?" Zhou Zhinan repeated, then asked the landlord, "What does this mean?"

The landlord said, "That's what you think it means. They are in love."

"Alas, Jiajia finally graduated and everything was going well, but then something happened to Jiajia."

Zhou Zhinan was a little surprised, and Xiao Tao and Xu Yang beside him were also a little surprised.

Because Wu Mingyu was registered as Wu Jiajia's brother, they didn't think much about it. They didn't expect that there was such a relationship between them.

There was a brief silence. Just as Zhou Zhinan was about to ask something, he suddenly heard Zhou Xiaohua's sharp cry, "Meow!"

Several people suddenly turned around and saw that Wu Lei had gotten up without them noticing when. They didn't know what had happened, but Xiaohua was now tightly held in Wu Lei's arms.

A hint of panic flashed in Zhou Zhinan's eyes, and he hurried over.

"Cats are beautiful, Jiajia likes cats, Jiajia likes cats." Wu Lei kept muttering, his eyes still lifeless.

Because Xiaohua was struggling, Wu Lei held it even tighter, not giving it any chance to break free. "Don't leave. Play with Jiajia. Jiajia likes it."

"Meow!"
