"We have lived here for more than ten years and have never had a fire. But as soon as you came, our house caught fire..."
Yu Huan seemed to have regained her strength. She leaned on her cane, slowly stood up and said:
"Besides, you deliberately tricked me out. I heard you leave at the milk tea shop."
Chu Qi shrugged:
"You are such a slanderer. I even said that I had never encountered a fire when I was wandering.
I was affected by your fire as soon as I entered your house.
It's a pity that all the things I have saved for so many years were burned down."
Yu Huan sneered twice, resolutely returned to the police station, and told the female police officer who received her what she had just discovered.
This discovery may prove that Chu Qi had time to set the fire.
The police immediately contacted the milk tea shop clerk who received Chu Qi and Yu Huan today.
Unfortunately, the clerk was engrossed in playing with his mobile phone at the time.
She had no idea whether Chu Qi left and came back.
There was no surveillance in the milk tea shop, so it was impossible to tell from the surveillance whether Chu Qi had left.
Yu Huan was very sure that Chu Qi had left.
However, she was blind and could not see, so her words were not credible and the matter was left unresolved.
…
The police took the death of Yu Huan's parents very seriously and set up an investigation team overnight to track down the murderer.
Yu Huan and Chu Qi were temporarily released.
The house that Yu Huan's parents live in is their own, so they don't have to compensate anyone if it is damaged.
But correspondingly, no one gave them compensation.
The property that Yu Huan's parents left was just an old and dilapidated house with a living room and kitchen that were almost burned down into a bare shell, and a balance of less than 20,000 yuan in his bank account.
However, what is funny is that when Yu Huan went to withdraw money with his bank card, the bank required the owner of the bank card to be present in person before he could withdraw the money.
Legally, Yu Huan's parents have not yet been stamped dead, but after three days, the police will help stamp the death certificate.
By then, my parents’ bank cards will really be unusable.
Yu Huan patiently explained that his parents had passed away and could not be present.
The employee said, I don’t care, your parents must be present.
Chu Qi followed Yu Huan with one hand in her pocket.
She is sixteen years old this year, not yet the legal age of eighteen to find a job. If she cannot use the inheritance with Yu Huan, she will probably have to return to her wandering life.
But seeing how defensive Yu Huan was towards him.
Chu Qi thought to herself that maybe she really would become a wanderer.
But before that,
Let’s take care of Yu Huan for the last period of time.
Seeing the pitiful look of this blind girl, she really felt worried about letting her go through these difficult days alone.
Yu Huan had been to the bank no more than three times and didn't quite understand the rules here.
Seeing that the employee was still unmoved, Yu Huan felt angry and anxious, and felt that the whole world was against her.
Just then, Chu Qi touched her arm: "Come with me."
Yu Huan rubbed the place that was touched vigorously, "What are you doing?"
Chu Qi didn't say anything more, and violently dragged the girl to the ATM, "You can withdraw money here, just enter the password here,"
Yu Huan was stunned, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart. She had never been kind to him, but he was willing to help her.
Chu Qi helped Yu Huan to the end. She helped her insert the bank card into the ATM and taught her how to input the password so that she could withdraw all the 18,000 yuan on the card.
It's OK to withdraw money now, and I can use it as usual if I deposit it into Yu Huan's bank card.
If it is not taken out soon, the police will stamp the death of Yu Huan's parents and then it will be impossible to take it out even if you want to.
Yu Huan has always been a calm person. He hadn't recovered from the shock of his parents' death yet and thought about it the next day.
Loved ones have passed away, but the living must live well.
She has to think for herself.
Returning to the old and run-down house, Yu Huan felt dizzy as he smelled the burnt smell in the air.
have no idea……
How much pain did your parents feel at that time?
Did they really die when the fire broke out?
Maybe he died in agony after being devoured by the terrifying fire snake? ?
Thinking that Chu Qi might be the culprit of all this, the little gratitude that Yu Huan had just felt towards him disappeared completely.
"It was my parents who adopted you, not me. Go away. We are no longer brother and sister."
She spoke to Chu Qi in a cold voice, veins bulging on her hand holding the guide stick.
She knew that she kept blaming Chu Qi, and there might be some subjective dislike in it.
After all, there is no evidence to prove that the other party was the one who killed the person.
And his parents are very good to him.
It almost took away most of the love for Yu Huan, and the parents paid less attention to Yu Huan.
During the two months of adoption, Chu Qi's parents gave him new clothes and shoes, bought him an expensive game console, and said they would send him to school...
I even bought extra meat when cooking.
Yu Huan had to admit that Chu Qi, who was treated like this by her parents, would not do something like murder.
I keep blaming others out of jealousy and a desire to vent.
Although he knew that the other party had no motive, the clues from the milk tea shop and the psychological gap still made it impossible for Yu Huan to be friendly to Chu Qi.
And she felt sick at the thought of living together in the future.
Chu Qi was mentally prepared for Yu Huan's expulsion.
Seeing that the other party was clearly in pain but pretending to be calm, Chu Qi didn't say much, "Okay, after the police come out with the result, we will go and dissolve the legal brother-sister relationship."
Yu Huan let out a breath and slowly returned to his room.
The door of the room also had signs of burning, but fortunately it was closed at the time and the things inside were still intact.
But Chu Qi didn't have her own room yet. The old and run-down house had two bedrooms and a living room. Chu Qi came in and pulled out a curtain in the living room to separate an area as her temporary room.
The room had been engulfed in flames.
Three days later, the police investigation had made no progress and the case was placed on the cold case file.
Three days passed, and Yu Huan cried every day. When she learned that the murderer had not been caught, she broke down and cried in the police station.
Police Car felt sorry for her, but there was nothing he could do.
"Fortunately...she has a brother. Otherwise, how would she live in the future when she is so blind and small?"
"Yes, that's great."
Some neighbors gossiped about it.
Seeing the girl coming back in a daze, a caring neighbor approached her and asked if the house was not cleaned up yet and if she wanted help.
On weekdays, Yu Huan's parents are gentle to others and are always willing to help neighbors with anything they need, so they are very popular.
As a result, the neighbors began to feel pity for Yu Huan.
Yu Huan showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Thank you for your kindness, uncle and aunt, but it's too much trouble for you to pack up. I'll just ask someone to do it."
"Oh, that won't work! It will cost hundreds of dollars to hire someone, it's too expensive. It's normal for us neighbors to help. Don't refuse. Today is the weekend, let's help clean up."
Aunt Pang disagreed.
