There was a knock on the door, which made the two people, who were not arguing but just talking normally, look at the door.
It was a simple and honest farmer's Chinese character who walked in carrying a pot.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with? The owner of this place went to the county town for something." Li Boluba stepped forward and asked.
"Old Jia told me that they've been out for a while. I live next door to him. My last name is Wang, so you can just call me Uncle Wang." The man explained, "I guess you haven't eaten yet. I made some chicken soup. Come and have some. Before he left, Old Jia asked me to take care of your meals."
"And Xiao Jia..." Uncle Wang looked at the shivering Xiao Jia pitifully, "I'm your uncle Wang, come over and have something to eat."
Xiao Jia didn't respond at all, like a savage.
Xiao Jia used to be a criminal policeman and was the pride of the entire village.
However, after coming back, he became like this, which is really sad.
If your son can go to work, he should never become a policeman.
"Thank you... We don't need it..." Li Boluoba wanted to reject Uncle Wang's kindness. After all, they were public servants and would not take a single penny from the masses. Even though he was not here on behalf of the government and was just Xiao Jia's friend, the habit was ingrained in his bones and he couldn't change it for the time being.
But who is Saipan? When he heard that there was food to eat, he threw all the investigations and anomalies out of his mind. The world is big, and eating is the most important thing. I wonder if this leeway in his own strength was inherited from King Arthur.
He took two steps at a time and walked forward, thanking Uncle Wang while taking the pot of chicken soup from his hand.
But at this time, she smelled an unusual smell.
This smell is very familiar, as if I smelled it somewhere recently. It is not pungent, but somewhat familiar, but it is not a normal smell.
"This..." Saipan took the chicken soup away and put it aside. Rarely did she start eating it immediately because this unusual feeling made her feel a little uneasy. So even with the delicious chicken soup in front of her, she remained alert enough.
"Alas, Xiao Jia was a good kid. I'll ask you to take good care of him from now on." Seeing that Saipan and the others just took the chicken soup, the man didn't say much, but just asked Saipan and the other two to take good care of Xiao Jia.
He kept waiting until he walked out of the house, and looked back every few steps when he saw Xiao Jia, as if he wanted to engrave Xiao Jia's appearance deeply in his mind.
"It's strange... Is the relationship in this village so harmonious?" Li Boluba couldn't stand it. He waited until Uncle Wang completely disappeared from his sight before complaining, "Or is it this Uncle Wang with the surname Wang... Forget it, I have to pay attention to my image and can't talk about topics that public servants can't talk about."
“I also find it strange that the people in the village don’t have such deep feelings.
"It would be fine if Xiao Jia didn't work outside, but he works as a criminal policeman outside, and we can't be seen in this village for many days. He might even have to work overtime during the Chinese New Year. How can we have such a deep relationship?
"It's like he's Uncle Wang's biological son."
It's not that I was humiliating Xiao Jia and that honest country man, I just felt something was unusual, something was abnormal.
I felt a strong sense of abnormality about this matter.
"If the relationships in the village are really that good... No... If the relationships in the village are really that close, why do we only see Uncle Wang?"
Chapter 305
"By the way, I smelled a strange smell on him. It felt very familiar.
“Do you smell it?”
Saipan asked his investigator friend.
"It's a strange smell... How can I smell it? Wasn't it you who brought me the chicken soup just now? What else could it be if not the smell of chicken soup?"
"I can smell it. It has absolutely nothing to do with food." When it comes to eating, Li Boluba cannot doubt Saipan's professionalism. After hearing Saipan's words, he could only start thinking.
"Can you give a rough analogy of what it tastes like?" Li Boluba asked.
"It's probably the smell of a new book I bought... Wait, I got it! I remember what this smell is. Do you remember me and what happened on the way here today?
“The world in the painting is just like the smell of ink on the people I meet in that world.”
"Are you doubting that we are still in the world in the painting?" This possibility shocked Li Boluoba. If they were really still in the world in the painting, then what kind of terrifying existence had they provoked?
They thought they were climbing over mountains and crossing rivers, but in fact they were like Monkey King who could not escape the Five Finger Mountain of Buddha.
When I think of that terrible possibility...
Even if this is true, even the previous method of dealing with the world in the painting, using fire, cannot truly escape from the world in the painting. In this case, how can they distinguish the world in the painting from the real world?
I can’t tell the difference, I really can’t tell the difference!
“Calm down, Officer Libolu.
“I think we really came out of the world in the painting.
“Even if the world in the painting is powerful, there won’t be characters as lively as Jia’s father and mother.
“The person who owns the world in the painting cannot be that powerful and have even the slightest weakness.
“Even if there really is such a powerful anomaly, it is not something we should deal with right now.
"We can't be afraid before the battle."
"But this is reality. The devil in reality will not send you experience packs one after another to upgrade you." Li Boluba became calmer after hearing Saipan's words, but the rationality he still maintained made him look a little timid.
"But I am our boss's employee."
"What do you mean? Are you showing off your unit?"
“You may not know our boss, he is a very evil guy.
“I don’t know what he looks like or who he is. But I do know this.
"He doesn't like boring things. If we really have no chance of winning against this world in the painting.
"The first person to get restless is definitely our boss. A one-sided crushing is something that people at that level don't like to see.
“As I said, I don’t really know my boss that well.
"I only know that he is also abnormal, unusual, like an existence at that level, incomprehensible, indescribable, and ineffable.
“Even if I guessed wrong about this matter, I still have one last chance to ask for help.
"At least we won't fall here."
Saipan's speech was very infectious, which gave Li Boluba confidence again.
"You are right. We will not face an enemy that we cannot defeat. I believe your boss is watching us from heaven."
“Why does he sound like he’s dead… But I think the uncle Wang just now has some connection with the owner of the world in the painting.
"The reluctance to part with Xiaojia may be due to some kind of guilt.
"I think some of the things he did made Xiaojia become like this."
Saipan bit his nails as he reasoned and turned his gaze to Xiao Jia.
At this time, Xiao Jia was not as panicked as at the beginning.
"What do you know about Uncle Wang just now?" Li Boluba began to ask Xiao Jia.
Saipan was also listening attentively. Her premonition told her that Uncle Wang must have something to do with this matter.
"Uncle Wang is a good man..." After struggling for a long time, Xiao Jia could only utter this sentence.
"I'm asking about Uncle Wang's personal situation, his family, and so on."
"Uncle Wang had a wife, but Aunt Wang died a few years ago... He did have a son, but I haven't seen him for a long time. Uncle Wang said that his son went to study in another place after Aunt Wang died..."
"Will Uncle Wang come to see you often these days?"
"Yes, Uncle Wang is a good man. After knowing my situation, he often comes to see me. He brings me some food..."
After getting the expected reply, the two looked at each other.
"You should take a rest first." Saipan said to Xiaojia.
"Uncle Wang... Uncle Wang is a good man..." Xiao Jia was just mentally traumatized, not completely stupid. He seemed to realize what Saipan and Li Boluba were going to do to Uncle Wang, so he immediately tried to persuade them.
"Don't worry... We won't do anything to Uncle Wang." Li Boluba comforted Xiao Jia, who was like a child at the moment, "You... go to sleep first. I'm afraid you haven't had a good rest in these days."
Li Boluba sighed and felt like he was a disaster star as people around him kept encountering such terrible things one after another.
Xiao Jia gradually fell asleep while they were watching over him.
And with the three crows of the rooster, the arrival of the midnight watch was announced.
Li Boluba gently covered Xiao Jia with the quilt and locked the door of Xiao Jia's room.
According to Xiao Jia, his Uncle Wang lives next door to his house. Li Bo, Luba and Saipan plan to explore Uncle Wang's house at night.
See if we can find anything in his house that proves that he is related to Xiao Jia’s affairs.
As a criminal policeman, Li Boluba was very good at hiding. He climbed over the wall and came to Uncle Wang's yard.
Saipan looked at Li Boluba over there eagerly, but finally decided not to alert the enemy before the dust settled.
Li Boluba sneaked into the inner door and tried to open it.
However, I didn't expect that not only the gate of the courtyard was locked, but also the door of the inner room was locked.
But this was no problem for Li Boluluba. He took out a thin wire and put it into the old-fashioned keyhole.
The door was opened in two or three moves.
Unexpectedly, in the darkness, a shovel hit Li Boluba's head.
Li Boluba crossed his hands and placed them on the shovel.
The huge force combined with the tools almost broke Li Boluba's hand.
"Saipan! He found us! Come and help!" Li Boluba shouted immediately.
"Call for help, I can do it too..." Uncle Wang, who was holding a shovel, also wanted to shout that there was a thief. If people from the village really came at that time, even if Li Bolulu said that he was a criminal policeman, he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
How could a criminal police sneak into someone's house in the middle of the night?
Li Boluba knew the key, so he ignored the pain in his arm and rushed over there.
Chapter 306
The figure in the dark was knocked down by Li Boluba.
At this time, Saipan also rushed into the Wang family and turned on the lights.
At this time, Uncle Wang and Li Boluoba were fighting each other.
Logically speaking, a middle-aged, untrained man would not be able to fight on equal terms with a young and strong criminal policeman.
I don’t know if it’s the long-term farming that made his strength stronger.
It could also be that the hit with the shovel just now was unintentional.
Or maybe it's the belief in keeping a secret, or something else.
"You've already killed my wife! Are you going to kill my son now?!"
Uncle Wang was shouting, and Li Boluoba covered Uncle Wang's mouth, making it impossible for Uncle Wang's voice to be heard.
Li Boluba and his men were already in a mess just to deal with Uncle Wang. If other people noticed the situation here and called the police and Li Boluba's colleagues, wouldn't they be looked down upon?
As for the content of what Uncle Wang shouted, neither Saipan nor Li Boluba cared much.
"Can you stop and listen to us?" Li Bolu covered Uncle Wang's mouth, making him stammer and unable to speak. "I suspect your son is involved in a criminal case. If you want your son to be fine, then listen to us."
At the beginning, the two just suspected that this matter was related to Uncle Wang’s son who went to study in another place.
Now that Uncle Wang has lost his composure and turned his son over, they now have a good entry point.
When he heard that it was related to his son, Uncle Wang struggled a bit at first, but finally stopped, with deep resentment in his eyes.
"Then I'll let go... three... two... one."
When Uncle Wang wanted to shout, Li Boluoba covered Uncle Wang's mouth with his hand again.
Even though Uncle Wang bit his palm hard, he remained calm.
"I told you, if you want your child to be well, just listen to us and don't shout."
Li Boluba felt that he was a bit like those kidnappers who notified the parents of kidnapped children not to make it public and just hand over the money.
This feeling began when I sneaked into Uncle Wang's house. It seemed that he was no longer a righteous criminal policeman, but a despicable gangster.
I didn't feel any confusion or anything like that. I just sighed and lamented the impermanence of the world, where even mice had to serve as bridesmaids for cats.
But the good times did not last long. Just when they had controlled Uncle Wang and made sure he would not shout or scream again, a new development occurred.
Another unexpected guest visits the Wang family.
