In her past life, Xia Shige was the real heiress who had been taken back by the wealthy Lu family. During the apocalypse, she worked hard and earnestly to take care of the entire family.
Unfo...
Upon hearing this, Xue Lei just looked at Officer Tan Zhen with a gloomy face. The atmosphere at the entire corridor entrance instantly became stagnant. The security guard Xiao Gao standing behind him clenched his baton in his hand nervously, fearing that Xue Lei would suddenly attack.
After a few seconds of silence, Xue Lei suddenly put on a relaxed expression. He spread his hands indifferently, opened the door, and said to everyone, "Okay, come in."
Xia Shige and his companions walked into the room one after another. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the door, they smelled the aroma of meat.
Xue Lei took the initiative to explain: "...I was just having a meal."
When they walked in, everyone was a little surprised to hear that.
Nowadays, most people can only eat sand vine cakes, and only a few can afford rice and noodles. As for vegetables and meat, only rich people can afford them.
Xue Lei can still eat so well now, either he is a low-key rich man, or he has stockpiled a lot of supplies in advance.
Officer Tan Zhen pondered for a moment and continued, "Would it be convenient for us to check every room in your house?"
Officer Tan Zhen was ready to be rejected, but Xue Lei changed his impatient attitude in the corridor and nodded in agreement, saying, "No problem, you can look around!"
The property manager Xiao He and the security guard Xiao Gao quietly surrounded Xue Lei to prevent him from running around, while Officer Tan Zhen, Xia Huiyin and Xia Shige spread out and searched each room one by one.
Xia Shige came to the kitchen first. Xue Lei must have not lied, he had just finished his meal - there was a small pot next to the kitchen sink with a little soup left in it, probably because he had just cooked a pot of meat.
Xia Shige took another quick look at the kitchen, refrigerator, and cupboards.
But she did not see the rich supplies as she had expected - the power to Xue Lei's refrigerator had been cut off long ago. The moment she opened it, a smell of corruption wafted out of it. Xia Shige frowned and took a look, only to find that there was nothing inside.
Apart from the refrigerator, the kitchen cupboards were also empty, with only some condiments and four or five uneaten satay biscuits left.
Smelling the aroma of the broth that had yet to dissipate in the kitchen, Xia Shiji felt a strange feeling in his heart...
After coming out of the kitchen, Xia Shige glanced at Xue Lei who was sitting in the living room without leaving a trace.
Xue Lei had a calm expression on his face, not at all flustered. Seeing Xia Shige looking at him, he even smiled at Xia Shige.
Xia Shige pretended he knew nothing and went to the second bedroom again.
She gently pushed open the door of the second bedroom and felt that the room had not been lived in for a long time - the floor and table were covered with a layer of dust.
Xia Shige looked around and found that the whole room was decorated very warmly and cutely. The walls were covered with stickers with various cartoon patterns, and there was a furry teddy bear on the bed. It was obvious that this should be Xue Lei's child's room.
When he entered the room, Xia Shige saw some teenagers' reading materials and stationery on the desk, as well as a photo of Xue Lei's family of three. A homework was spread out on the table, with an uncapped colored pen on it.
Next to the teddy bear on the bedside was a children's phone watch and below it was a tablet computer. Both electronic devices were out of power.
Xia Shige opened the closet again, which was filled with children's clothes, including thin summer clothes and thick autumn and winter clothes, neatly hung on hangers.
Looking at these, Xia Shige always felt an indescribable sense of strangeness in his heart - Xue Lei said that his wife and children had run away, but all the things in this room were still there. If his wife really took the children away, why didn't she take anything with her?
With doubts in his heart, Xia Shige walked out of the room.
At this time, Officer Tan Zhen and Xia Huiyin had also finished investigating the master bedroom, guest bedroom and bathroom, but both found nothing.
Xia Huiyin said with some doubt: "He said his wife ran away, but there are still a lot of expensive skin care products on the dressing table in the master bedroom that he didn't take away. There is also a mobile phone with a red rose phone case in the drawer..."
The cell phone was most likely used by Xue Lei's wife. It was out of battery, but it was the latest top-of-the-line Promax model among all the cell phones in the world. One could tell at a glance that it was not a discarded phone or a spare one.
This really doesn't look like she's abandoning her husband and running off with someone else - even if she finds it troublesome and doesn't want to take anything with her, why doesn't she even take her cell phone?
