three him

Aunt Zhang and her wife, Guo Yuanmin, are practicing calligraphy with some old men and women at the Office for the Elderly.

Jiang Zhanbei came to the Aging Office and found Guo Yuanmin.

This is an old man in his 60s, a little bald, with a chubby figure, and he is a family member with Aunt Zhang.

Asked about Xu Jieying's situation, Guo Yuanmin squeezed her eyes reflexively, and said, "She is just a housewife. She usually dances in the square, buys groceries, and doesn't have much activity."

"What about ten years ago?" Jiang Zhanbei said, "Where was she ten years ago?"

Guo Yuanmin paused and laughed wrinkledly: "Ten years ago, she was already a housewife. As I told you, we are doing internal retirement, and she retired a long time ago."

"How early?"

"20 years ago." Guo Yuanmin said.

Jiang Zhanbei asked again: "I heard that the pension for early retirement is very low, so you didn't find another job?"

"That's not it," Guo Yuanmin said immediately, "We are an old couple who have no children, and don't worry about money. We usually save a little, and everything will come out."

"Really?"

"real."

"However, the total of your two houses and the savings in the bank are far higher than the sum of your retirement wages over the years." Jiang Zhanbei folded his arms, "Even if you save money, you can't stop eating. Bar."

Guo Yuanmin's face fell when he heard this: "You are investigating us? This is against the law!"

Jiang Zhanbei smiled: "We are from the imperial capital's army. Why, we need to report to you after investigating you? Be honest."

Guo Yuanmin's expression became tense.

Jiang Zhanbei also put away his smile, staring at him with dark pupils in brown irises.

Today Aunt Zhang is busy with work at home, washing clothes and mopping the floor, wearing a floral apron, singing and humming.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Aunt Zhang opened the door.Immediately, her smile froze.

It was Feng Leye standing outside the door.He carried a basket of fruit and said, "Aunt Zhang, I'm here to see you."

"You misunderstood the person, my surname is not Zhang." After saying that, Aunt Zhang was about to close the door.

"Don't close the door," Feng Leye reached out to grab the door frame, "I'm here to find you."

Aunt Zhang looked embarrassed: "But I don't know you, I'm sorry." After finishing speaking, she was still about to close the door.

"I know you, Xu Jieying." Feng Leye raised the fruit basket in his hand, "The meeting gift is also brought, so you can't keep me out."

There was nothing wrong with it, so Aunt Zhang opened the door and let him in.But it was obvious that he was not welcome, his eyes dodged, he didn't even give him a slipper, and he just sat on the sofa.

Feng Leye put the fruit basket on the shoe cabinet in the hall, took out two plastic disposable shoe covers from his pocket, and put them on his feet—he and Jiang Zhanbei had already expected that even if Aunt Zhang let him in, it would not be true. welcome yourself.

After putting on the shoe covers, he thought for a while, picked up the fruit basket again, walked into the living room, placed it on the coffee table, in front of Aunt Zhang, and changed his words: "Aunt Xu, let's have a chat."

Aunt Zhang turned her head sideways and didn't look at him: "Young man, it's the first time we meet, what's the matter?"

"It's been a long time since we met, let's catch up on the old days," Feng Leye said, "Aunt Zhang, do you know that I have been looking for you for a long time."

Aunt Zhang's face froze, and she suddenly patted the coffee table: "If you mistook me for some Aunt Zhang again, then you can go out!"

When the glass coffee table was slapped like this, the tabletop trembled, and even the fruit in the fruit basket moved a few times according to the frequency.

Feng Leye put his hand on the coffee table, calming the table, and said sincerely: "Actually, if you recognize me as soon as we meet, maybe the matter is not suspicious. But the current situation, I don't think much about it. Method."

Aunt Zhang stood up nervously, and said angrily, "I don't understand what you said. Hurry up and get out, what nonsense you are talking about!"

Feng Leye made a pause gesture: "Yesterday, I went back to Hongyang Village."

Aunt Zhang's movements froze, she opened her mouth with her hips crossed, and fell silent.

"In Hongyang Village, we only found one person," Feng Leye continued, "that's the blacksmith's son."

Aunt Zhang: "..."

"I'm here to ask you, what do you think of the whereabouts of other people in the village?" Feng Leye asked.

"I don't know." Aunt Zhang turned her head away, "They burned to death, and I also left Hongyang Village, and never went back."

Feng Leye said: "But how did you leave Hongyang Village?"

"Interstellar taxi, why, taking a taxi makes you suspicious?" Aunt Zhang gave him a glare.

"Of course not. I also left Hongyang Village by taxi."

Aunt Zhang said: "Then what are you looking for me for today? I finally had my own life, so let's just pretend that what happened before didn't happen."

"I have to explain this matter to you." Feng Leye moved closer and said, "Do you know that the blacksmith's son is a replicant?"

Aunt Zhang pretended to be surprised: "A replicant? How could it be a replicant? It's normal to see him."

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you a long time ago, but I just wanted to see you. I didn't expect that when I returned to Hongyang Village, I would meet the clone."

Aunt Zhang hesitated again and again, her tone softened: "...How are you doing now?"

"Very good, I'm in the army." Feng Leye sat down, "However, I know that the reason why Hongyang Village caught fire was because of a cruel decision made by a former officer who wanted to bring back his son .”

Aunt Zhang said, "Fortunately, we survived. By the way, how is Jiang Zhanbei?"

"Jiang Zhanbei, you will see it soon, but what you see is not the Jiang Zhanbei you know." Feng Leye shook his head, "Forget it, such a complicated matter, the more you talk about it, the more chaotic it becomes. .”

"Yeah, your Aunt Zhang is so old that she can't understand such complicated things." Aunt Zhang said, "I'm relieved to see that you are doing well...Your Uncle Guo will be back soon, it's nothing things, let’s go first, alas, come back later when I have a chance, recently...it’s not very convenient to catch up on the old days.”

"Aunt Zhang, after all these years, I know that you have feelings for me and Jiang Zhanbei." Feng Leye took Aunt Zhang's hand.

Aunt Zhang withdrew her hand, nodded, shook her head again, and said in a low voice, "You...I know, you are a smart kid, and now is not a good time to meet."

"...What do you mean?" Feng Leye was a little confused by Aunt Zhang's different attitudes before and after, and he observed Aunt Zhang carefully.

Aunt Zhang waved her hand and pushed him towards the door: "Let's go quickly, and I'll contact you later when you have time. Also, the corridor at our door is connected to the next-door unit. You'd better go to the next-door unit before going out. My old Guo will be back soon."

Feng Leye thought of something and said, "I'm afraid it won't work."

Aunt Zhang panicked: "What's wrong?"

"Jiang Zhanbei, I went to see your wife." Feng Leye confessed honestly.

Aunt Zhang was in a hurry: "...what are you doing! Alas... why are you in such a hurry!"

Feng Leye said, "Is there any problem?"

"Oh..." Aunt Zhang sighed, but didn't say anything.

"Well, I'll send a message to Jiang Zhanbei and tell him to hold Lao Guo and don't come here for now." Feng Leye looked at Aunt Zhang, "What can you say to me now?"

"Old Guo is very vigilant, I'm afraid there is not much time yet." Aunt Zhang said.

Feng Leye: "Then let's just talk about cloning people."

"...Okay, let's make a long story short. You talk while putting on your shoes." Aunt Zhang opened the door, listened carefully to the voices outside, and made sure that there was no one outside. Then she retracted her head, closed the door, and turned her head .

Feng Leye said good, thought for a while, and took the fruit basket away to erase the traces of his presence.

Over there, the conversation between Jiang Zhanbei and Guo Yuanmin didn't make much progress.Although Guo Yuanmin was exposed, he didn't tell the truth, and he avoided the serious ones.

"I don't think there is any truth in what you said." Jiang Zhanbei said, "There are many things that need to be investigated now. I hope you can answer truthfully and actively cooperate with my work."

Instead, Guo Yuanmin looked him up and down suspiciously: "No, what exactly are you going to investigate? Our husband and wife are honest, and we have never run into the edge of the law. If you don't tell me clearly today, I don't recognize it."

Jiang Zhanbei stared at him, with scrutiny: "What's the matter, you know it in your heart. If we didn't have the detailed information, we wouldn't come to you."

"Okay, then you go to my house. I will be with my wife. We will answer whatever you ask. The premise is that my wife will come with me." Lao Guo insisted on going home.

"Don't be so anxious, let's talk about your life here first, at least let's get to know each other better." Jiang Zhanbei's intuition told him that the old man on the opposite side was so impatient, he might be hiding something from him.

Sure enough, Guo Yuanmin resolutely objected: "What are we talking about? We have nothing to talk about. You are framing us and suspecting us. We are an old couple in peace and contentment. We have never done anything wrong. You can call the police."

"I'm not suspecting you of committing a crime," Jiang Zhanbei said, "I'm just asking you a few small questions."

"Small questions deserve you to come from the imperial capital? I don't believe it." Guo Yuanmin said shamelessly, "I want to go home. If you have any questions, you can directly ask our old couple. Don't bully me here."

At this time, Feng Leye's message came, and Jiang Zhanbei raised his hand to see that it read: Hold Guo Yuanmin, don't let him know what's going on here.

After reading it, he turned off the bracelet screen and covered it with his sleeve.

Guo Yuanmin had sharp eyes and asked: "This officer, you have traveled a long distance to come to Jiuxing, and you probably did not come here alone."

Jiang Zhanbei raised the corners of his lips: "Of course I can't come here alone."

As soon as the words fell, Guo Yuanmin's eyes flickered as expected.

Jiang Zhanbei went on to say: "I came with a mecha, how could I come here without a mecha."

Guo Yuanmin: "..."

Guo Yuanmin laughed, the creases on his face scattered like a chrysanthemum: "That's it...haha."

Jiang Zhanbei said: "I heard that you are very good at calligraphy. Why don't you teach me?"

Guo Yuanmin said: "How embarrassing, this is just a hobby. You see, you are an officer, so there is no time to waste. Let's go, go to my house. You can chat with my wife."

Seeing that the old man couldn't hold back, Jiang Zhanbei said: "You can go, but my mech is left elsewhere, you can only walk with me."

"Hey, I can't let you suffer that." Guo Yuanmin said immediately, "I'll pay the money and go out and take a taxi, and it will be there in five minutes."

"...You are really considerate." Jiang Zhanbei gently squeezed his fingers.

After getting in the taxi, he sent a message to Feng Leye: Hurry up, we will be there in 5 minutes.
