"Knock, knock, knock... Is anyone home?"
Li Xia was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. She reluctantly sat up from the bed, leaning her back against the headboard. Then she raised her hand and scratched her messy hair in annoyance.
"Who is it?" She put on her slippers, frowned, and asked as she walked.
There was constant knocking on the door.
At this time, Li Xia had already walked to the entrance.
Father Li often reminded her of this.
She is still a child, and a girl. She is usually alone at home. When she hears a knock on the door, she must be careful and cautious.
Li Xia did not forget what his father said.
She did not open the door rashly, but stood on tiptoe and looked outside through the peephole inside the door.
When Li Xia saw the screen outside the door, her heart rose to her throat.
"Who are you?"
Even though she saw several men outside in uniform, she still remained cautious and asked.
"Why is it a little girl?" A man outside the door whispered after hearing Li Xia's voice.
"Little boy, we are police officers. Are you alone at home now?"
The middle-aged man in the lead raised his eyes and looked at the cat's eye outside the door, and said while looking at that place.
He heard the slight tremor in the little girl's voice.
She must be looking at them through the peephole from inside.
Li Xia frowned and said warily: "You said you are police officers, what can you prove?"
Nowadays, there are also scammers who have channels to get this set of clothes and use them to commit fraud.
She is not a real child, so how can she believe what they say just based on their words?
They must be asked to show documents that can prove their identity.
"Little boy, you have a good sense of safety. Uncle gives you a thumbs up."
When the middle-aged man heard Li Xia's question, he was not angry. Instead, he gave her a thumbs up and praised her.
Then.
Li Xia saw the man turn around through the peephole and said to the younger men behind him, "Take out your police IDs and show your faces to the girl first, then put your police IDs through the peephole for her to compare."
"yes."
It was obvious that the middle-aged man was more prestigious, and none of the other men refuted what he said.
"Little girl, do you think this is okay?"
Li Xia was only separated from the man outside by a door. Her small body was pressed tightly against the door, her eyes fixed on the peephole without blinking, so she naturally heard the conversation outside.
"Wait a minute." She questioned again, "Uncle, who knows if your police ID is forged?"
Li Xia asked fearlessly, relying on her status as a child.
"Not bad, not bad, kid. It seems that your parents have given you a good education in this area."
The middle-aged man smiled heartily upon hearing this.
"Well, kid, what do you want? Just tell me directly." He threw the question to Li Xia.
Since the little girl in the house doesn't trust them.
Then just let her come up with a solution herself.
Li Xia bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes to think for a while.
After a while.
She said to the outside of the door: "Uncle, please put your faces close to the peephole first so that I can see your faces clearly, and then hand your police ID cards to me one by one through the crack of the door. I will take a picture with my phone and then return it to you."
Judging from their level of cooperation, they must be real police officers.
But until the moment of true confirmation, Li Xia still didn't want to believe it.
After all, it is not a good thing when the police come to your door.
Li Xia's right eyelid began to twitch uncontrollably.
She had heard a superstition.
If the eyelid twitches, the left eye is auspicious, while the right eye is ominous.
She began to feel uneasy.
"Li Xia, that's just superstition." Li Xia patted his face and forced himself to stay calm.
Superstition is not trustworthy.
She couldn't believe it.
Li Xia told herself over and over again that she did not believe in superstition.
"Okay, then do as you say." The middle-aged man said, "Did you all hear that? Do as the kid said, line up, and step forward one by one."
"Yes, Boss."
The policemen outside the door followed Li Xia's instructions and came to the peephole to show her their blushing faces. They then took out their ID cards and stuffed them through the gap at the bottom of the door.
Li Xia opened the police ID, took out his cell phone and took a photo of the information inside.
She did not miss a single one.
After doing all this, she returned the documents.
Five minutes later.
Li Xia memorized each of their faces firmly in her mind.
It is indeed consistent with the certificate.
Then.
She found the relevant official website and sent the photos she had just taken to it for comparison.
All the information matched.
"How's it going? Little friend, the uncles have done what you asked. You should have gotten the answer you wanted. Can you open the door now?"
The middle-aged man waited outside the door for a long time, but didn't hear any sound from inside the house, so he asked.
“Bang—”
As soon as the man finished speaking, the door in front of him opened.
"Little girl, how old are you?" A fair-looking young man stood in front of the door and asked Li Xia who was inside the house.
He blinked.
This little girl is quite cute.
It looks like a delicate and exquisite figure, just like the New Year doll in a portrait.
It makes people unable to help but like it after seeing it.
"Ten years old." Li Xia looked up and said, "Uncle police, why did you come to my house? Is there something wrong?"
She fluttered her eyelashes twice and bit her lower lip tightly.
"Don't be nervous, little boy. The uncles have nothing else to do." The middle-aged man looked past Li Xia and towards the entrance.
Next to the shoe cabinet is a pair of slippers commonly worn by adult men.
That being said.
He did not go home.
"Little boy, uncle will ask you a few questions. If you answer them well, uncle will give you a reward."
Li Xia shook her head. "I don't want it. Dad said that we can't take things from strangers." She waved her hand.
"Your father is right, but the police are not bad people. We are here to protect all the children. You can accept the reward from the police..."
"Uncle, just ask whatever you want to ask."
Li Xia raised her eyes and interrupted the middle-aged policeman.
The middle-aged man touched his nose.
Why doesn't this little girl play by the rules?
Normally children would be scared when they see the police, but she was so calm.
"Ahem..." The man cleared his throat and said, "Little boy, this is it, is Li Wanshun your father?"
When Li Xia heard her father's full name, her heart skipped a beat and she frowned tightly.
Could it be that something really happened to dad?
"Yes, police officer, what happened to my father?" Li Xia nodded and then asked hurriedly.
