I said weakly, "No one is home. I knocked on the door for a long time but no one opened it. It was only when the neighbor across the street said no one was home that she came downstairs."
"How could that be? He told me on the phone this morning that he would stay home to pack his luggage. He didn't say he was going out."
My steps suddenly stopped.
"Are you sure he said he would stay home and pack today?"
"Yeah, that's what he said."
That's very strange. Why didn't anyone open the door after I knocked for so long? It was as if there was no one in the room.
Or maybe...
He doesn't want to drive.
But there is a problem with this. The aunt across the street clearly said that she is not at home...
etc!
I suddenly thought of something.
So he hurried back up the stairs and knocked on his aunt's door.
The aunt saw that I was in a good mood and not at all impatient.
"What's wrong?"
“Auntie, how did you know the person opposite had left home?”
"I heard the door open."
"When did you hear it?"
"It should have been in the morning. I don't remember it clearly, mainly because the sound of the door opening wasn't very loud. I not only heard the door opening, but also the sound of footsteps."
"Are you sure the footsteps you heard came from this room?"
This time, the aunt shook her head and said, “I can’t be sure about this because I can only hear the sound, but I can’t hear where the sound comes from.
After hearing what my aunt said, I knew what was going on.
It seems that there is someone inside the door, but someone is unwilling to open it.
But the other party was unwilling to open the door, and I couldn't force it open.
I deliberately spoke loudly to my aunt.
"Thank you, Auntie. I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, take care."
After the aunt greeted me, she looked up and saw me still standing there, and immediately looked confused.
I put my finger to my lips.
Auntie immediately understood what I meant and quietly retreated back to the room without speaking to me or making any sound.
I stood at the door and waited patiently.
Finally, my hard work paid off and the door finally opened.
I stood behind the door. After it opened, the person in the room quietly walked out.
Looks sneaky.
I stood quietly behind him until he turned around and saw me. He was so scared that he almost jumped up.
"Fuck!"
"Hello, sir."
The man's face turned red with anger, and perhaps even a little pale from fear. "Are you sick? You're standing behind me like a ghost. What do you mean? Who are you? What are you doing at my doorstep? Believe it or not, I'm going to call the police! Get out of here right now!"
After saying a lot of things, he was about to close the door.
"Are you worried that there are some things you can't hide?"
He paused slightly as he closed the door. "What do you mean?"
"You know very well that some things cannot be concealed. Rather than delaying and eventually revealing the truth, it's better to tell me the truth right from the start."
I stood behind him and spoke slowly.
"Of course, I know what you're worried about. You're just worried that you might get into trouble. Don't worry about that. Since I've asked you to tell me, I'm naturally able to protect you. I won't give you up."
The man turned around and looked at me coldly.
"With you, can you defeat that cruel girl?"
"You really do know Zhou Zhizi."
"You..." The man was furious. "I don't know why you're here, but if you want to learn some secrets from me, I advise you to give up the idea as soon as possible."
After he said that, he turned around and was about to go back.
I leaned against the wall by the door, wondering how I could get this person to tell the truth.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't notice the door lock was turned again. I looked up when the door opened.
The man met my gaze.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that his eyes were a little broken at that moment.
"Could you please stop guarding here? What on earth do you want to do?"
"My purpose is simple. I just want to know some truth from you."
"I've already said that I know nothing. I won't tell you, and I can't tell you. Please don't bother me anymore!"
I looked at his devastated face, but remained indifferent.
"If you couldn't tell me, then why did you tell Zhuang Qiling this news?"
He was stunned by my question.
I saw a flash of panic across his face.
"It seems that the person who made you say these things didn't fully teach you how to lie and act."
So much so that there are flaws all over his body.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Still being stubborn.
"Don't ask me anymore. I don't know anything. I won't tell you. Just think of what happened before as me being sick. Just pretend you don't know me. Don't come to me again."
After saying that, he turned around and went back into the house and closed the door.
I got the answer I wanted, so naturally I stopped bothering her and just turned and left.
When I left the community, I could clearly feel someone staring at me from behind.
I know who this gaze belongs to.
At first I thought the driver's clues were too coincidental. He seemed to know a lot, but in fact he said nothing.
Rather than being a clue that comes to your door, it would be more accurate to say that he is a hook.
