"No, I have never had the pleasure to meet Mr. and Mrs. Xia.wqu I only recently bought that apartment building." On the TV, a white middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses had a trace of sadness on his face. , shook his head slightly.

"Mr. Dell, how do you respond to some media reports that you have known for a long time that the personal safety of these tenants is a huge hidden danger?" a reporter asked, eager to put the microphone in his hand into the glasses of the old man. In the mouth.

"Yes, that's correct. Everyone who lives here knows that the security in Hell's Kitchen is very chaotic. That's why I have provided all the residents in the apartment with a considerable compensation to help these people find another place to live." Dell continued to shake his head, that sad expression seemed so artificial in Xia Tian's eyes.

"This kind of thing shouldn't happen to Mr. Xia's family. This neighborhood needs to be renovated. If I could have intervened earlier, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Dale said After that, he left in a hurry.

A group of reporters wanted to follow, but were stopped by a group of dark bodyguards. Finally, in the footage captured by the camera, the black high-end SUV sped away.

slap.

The TV is turned off. Xia Tian turned his head and saw an old woman. At this time, he was looking at Xia Tian with an angry expression.

"You are too young and should not be exposed to these things." The nurse in the orphanage, no matter what purpose the director of the orphanage had in recruiting Xia Tian into the hospital, the female nurse named Laura still had feelings for Xia Tian. very good. She has a kind heart and has no dissatisfaction with Xia Tian's skin color.

"There is still no news from the police station, right?" Xia Tian turned his head, looked at the dark TV screen, and asked.

Laura looked at the lonely young figure in the distance and sighed silently in her heart. She was also very concerned about this matter. Her friend at the police station revealed to her privately that the camera on the street in front of the apartment did not record it. If there is any information coming down, the camera has long been damaged and has been for some years.

The incident happened again in the rainy night near the early morning. There were no witnesses around. Only the somewhat confused old woman Amy saw the accident, but because of her age, she could not give any clear clues. Like Xia Tian, ​​she didn't see the murderer, nor did she see the license plate clearly. The heavy rain not only washed everything clean, but also blocked all evil with a rain curtain.

"This is only the seventh day. Give them some time, and they will always bring the murderer to justice." Laura, the caregiver, comforted Xia Tian. She was still very confident in dealing with a 5-year-old child. This was hers. Work is also her way of making a living. She has spent most of her life getting along with children and knows what those little minds want to hear.

Laura, the caregiver, walked to the sofa, squatted down, looked at Xia Tian's silent little face, and said softly: "Why don't you go back to the house, and after you wash up, I'll tell you a bedtime story. You'll like it." "

"Can I make a call to Ms. Amy?" Xia Tian suddenly raised his head and asked pleadingly. wx

Laura sighed softly and stretched out her hand to rub Xia Tian's hair, but Xia Tian avoided it. Looking at Xia Tian's frown, Laura gave up the action of touching her head and said: "It's already very late, my dear. It's already 9 o'clock in the evening. Listen, the whole building has fallen into a deep sleep. Only you sneak out of the room and watch TV here. I think Ms. Amy has also fallen asleep. Don't disturb her rest, okay? "

"No, she won't fall asleep." Xia Tian shook his head.

Looking at Xia Tian's firm eyes, Laura stood up and sat next to Xia Tian, ​​saying: "Listen, child, we are not trying to separate you from your relatives, we are not bad people. Ms. Amy is already very old, she Without a stable income, she cannot raise you, and she even needs relief from the state. Here, at least you can have enough food and clothing, and maybe a loving couple will adopt you in the future."

Before the female nurse finished speaking, Xia Tian had already run away.

"Wait, stop, you kid"

Chased by the female nurse, Xia Tian came to her dormitory. Another sleeping female caregiver was awakened.

"Haha, kid, you're afraid of the dark, right? Come here, auntie." The female nurse obviously misunderstood, thinking that Xia Tian came here to seek comfort and shelter. But he saw Xia Tian running to the table and picking up the phone receiver.

"You" the female nurse didn't know what to do for a moment, so she hurriedly got up, and behind her, Laura walked in quickly.

"Laura, this" the female nurse looked at Xia Tian doubtfully, and then looked at Laura.

Laura opened her mouth, and finally let Xia Tian go, and said with a serious expression: "Just this time, after the phone call, you go to bed obediently."

"Thank you." Xia Tian pursed his lips and inserted his fingers into the old-fashioned rotary telephone. Although there were already touch-tone telephones in this era, the equipment in this orphanage seemed a bit old.

Continuously rotating the wheel, Xia Tian listened to the sound of the wheel, and soon after, the other end was indeed connected. It's just a man's voice.

"Sorry, sir. I'm Xia Tian from 204a. I'm sorry to bother you so late. I think you can help me find Amy," Xia Tian asked.

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Maybe he heard Xia Tian's voice, maybe he was reminded of Xia Tian's experience. In the end, the night watchman on duty didn't say anything, put down the receiver, got up and left the duty room, heading to the second floor.

Xia Tian was a little anxious, but Laura here came over, gently hugged Xia Tian into her arms, sat on a chair, and comforted: "Don't worry, I am a person who keeps my promises. I will let you fight After this call. But you are also a person who keeps your promises. After a while, you will go back to sleep with me, right?"

"Okay, Laura." Xia Tian nodded heavily, and soon after, he finally heard Amy's old voice.

"Is this my little Xia Tian?" The old woman's slightly surprised voice made Xia Tian's eyes a little astringent.

Xia Tian spoke softly and said: "Yes, Amy. I think, I hope you can move out of that apartment."

Amy on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. She thought that what followed would be a conversation about asking about the current situation and comforting each other, but she did not expect that five-year-old Xia Tian would say such words. This made her think that there was someone behind this.

"Haha, kid, I'm old and can't walk anymore. It's very nice here." Amy responded.

"No, Amy. They will give you a lot of compensation. I think that after you move out of that apartment, you will not be in danger. Maybe, it is the best choice for you to move out of Hell's Kitchen." Xia Tian said, but also I could already feel the surprised looks in the eyes of the two caregivers beside me.

"No matter what you heard, no matter who you were deceived by, let me tell you, child, those are not true." Amy's old twig-like palm grasped the receiver tightly, "There is no compensation at all, There's nothing I can do to move out of this house."

"Don't be deceived. If I leave here, I can only live on the streets." Amy smiled, and that bitter smile made Xia Tian feel a little sad. "Here are my memories and everything about me. My husband is It would not be a bad thing if I could also leave this world here if I died here."

"Aimee"

"Listen, kid. You are very smart, you have to learn to protect yourself, Dududu." With the busy tone in his ears, the phone in Xia Tian's hand also gently slipped to the ground.

What no one noticed was that in the next dormitory, a white boy opened his empty eyes and seemed to be listening to everything.
