When Sheng Cheng'an walked out, he didn't dare to look at Pei Nuo, for fear that his eyes would scare her.
But I didn't expect that the corner of my clothes would be gently grabbed.
Looking down, I saw a white and chubby little hand tightly grasping the corner of my clothes, as if afraid of being let go.
Sheng Chengan lowered his eyes again and met Pei Nuo's big crystal eyes. There was still no brilliance in them, but it seemed that there was a kind of persistence hidden in them.
He turned around and bowed to look at her: "You won't let me go? Aren't you afraid of me?"
Pei Nuo still stared at Sheng Chengan with wide eyes, without any response, and did not retract his hand, still stubbornly holding the corner of Sheng Chengan's clothes.
Sheng Chengan reached out and held Pei Nuo's hand. Seeing that she didn't object, he said, "Let go first. I won't leave, okay?"
Pei Nuo really let go of her hand obediently, turned her head and watched Sheng Chengan sit down next to her, then she withdrew her hand and placed it on her knees, staring blankly towards the kitchen again.
Sheng Cheng'an heard from Sheng An Ning that Pei Nuo had basically no response to the outside world.
So was Pei Nuo's behavior towards him just now out of instinct, or was it due to some other reason?
He had experienced many bizarre things, so he always held a glimmer of fantasy. He looked at Pei Nuo's profile and fell into deep thought.
For lunch, Sheng Chengan came back, so I made some noodles to welcome him.
The fried sauce is made with pork belly, and the side dishes are blanched shredded cabbage and shredded carrots.
The three little ones all loved it, and they enjoyed the dish even with the meat sauce.
When they arrived at Pei Nuo, Sheng An Ning fed her some noodles wrapped in meat sauce with some shredded cabbage in it, but the smart girl pursed her lips and refused to open her mouth.
Sheng An Ning smiled helplessly: "Look, An An is eating vegetables, you should eat vegetables too, otherwise An An and the others will embarrass you."
Pei Nuo still refused to speak.
Sheng Chengan was a little puzzled: "She doesn't like eating noodles?"
Sheng An Ning looked at Pei Nuo: "She doesn't like vegetables, she only likes meat, and she won't eat any vegetables at all."
Sheng Chengan looked at the shredded cabbage and carrots in the rice bowl and thought for a moment: "Why don't you pick out the shredded cabbage? Will the carrots be better?"
Seeing that Pei Nuo refused to open his mouth to eat, Sheng An Ning could only follow Sheng Cheng'an's instructions and picked out all the shredded cabbage in the bowl, wrapped the shredded carrots in the noodles, picked them up and fed them to Pei Nuo.
This time, Pei Nuo actually opened his mouth to eat, and he ate very eagerly.
Sheng An Ning was a little puzzled: "I ate the cabbage and meat dumplings very well before, why don't you like cabbage now?"
Sheng Chengan felt his heart skip a beat, Zhu Zhu was also not willing to eat cabbage.
As long as I can't see it, it's okay. I will definitely pick out what I can see.
Looking at Pei Nuo, his eyes couldn't help but become deep.
…
After lunch, Zhou Luancheng came back and brought back a piece of news. Mr. Pei’s students did not believe that Mr. Pei committed suicide, and they jointly went to the public security bureau to report the case.
At this time, if someone dies in the family, the family members just need to go to the police station and report it, and there is no need for the hospital to issue a certificate of normal death.
So, after receiving the report, Zhou Luancheng heard that it was Mr. Pei, so he personally took people there.
The body has now been taken to the forensic department, and is awaiting signature by the family members agreeing to the identification.
Sheng An Ning didn't expect the students to call the police first. Since they were taken to the forensic department, there must be something wrong: "What did you find?"
Zhou Luancheng nodded: "There are two marks on the neck, one is the fatal wound, and the other is formed later. The fatal wound is parallel to the neck and circles around it. It is obvious that someone strangled him from behind, which created the illusion of suicide."
Sheng Anning frowned: "Such an obvious crime, such a rough crime scene, they are really brave."
Zhou Luancheng also felt that there were many strange things: "Mr. Pei's wife and two daughters did not agree to the autopsy, saying that the dead are the most important and the body should not be destroyed."
Sheng Anning muttered, "Who knows if they did it."
After all, the family had been in a big fight over the house, and there had even been an accidental murder.
Their loved ones were murdered, but they didn't even want to know who the murderer was. What they wanted to bury was something they wanted to rest in peace. There must be something fishy about their indifference.
Zhou Luancheng couldn't make such an arbitrary decision: "I just came back to tell you that I'm leaving first. I'll tell you when I get news."
After Zhou Luancheng left, Sheng Chengan remembered that he still needed Zhou Luancheng's help to stamp the document.
He just looked back at Pei Nuo who was sitting quietly on the sofa. It seemed that this matter was not so urgent. He wanted to find out who Pei Nuo was!
The three children went crazy for a while before Zhou Shixun took them upstairs to sleep. Sheng Anning also coaxed Pei Nuo to take a nap in Zhou Chaoyang's room.
After she fell asleep, Sheng An Ning tiptoed out of the bedroom, went downstairs and called Sheng Chengan to the study upstairs: "Let me show you something, see if it looks familiar."
On the easel is the other half of the sea painting that Pei Nuo had painted yesterday. The waves have not yet undergone the final processing and do not have the surging momentum that they will have after they were completed.
Sheng Chengan looked at the painting and was completely petrified.
Suddenly he turned around and grabbed Sheng An Ning's arm: "Did Pei Nuo draw this? Was it really drawn by her? This place... this place is where Zhu Zhu fell into the sea..."
Because of his anxiety and nervousness, he became incoherent.
Sheng An Ning was also stunned. She didn't expect that her guess was actually true. Pei Nuo and Zhu Zhu were related.
My heartbeat quickened: "Could Pei Nuo be Zhu Zhu?"
Sheng Chengan shook his head. When the truth was before his eyes, he became a little timid, fearing that he would be disappointed in the end.
Sheng An Ning calmed down first: "Brother, calm down first. Whether Pei Nuo is Zhu Zhu or not, she is very special now. We can't be anxious or force her, otherwise it will backfire. Let's first figure out the Pei family's affairs and Pei Nuo's childhood experiences."
Sheng Chengan knew he should calm down, but his hands were shaking unconsciously: "It must be a chance given by God."
It took the brother and sister a long time to calm down and start looking at the painting again.
Sheng Chengan looked again and became more and more certain that this was the place where Zhu Zhu fell into the sea.
He has been going to the dock every day recently and visiting the place where the accident happened, so he is very sure.
But why did Pei Nuo remember this painting? Or did she only remember this scene and forget everything else?
"An Ning, if that doesn't work, I'll take Pei Nuo to Gangcheng Hospital. After all, the medical technology there is much better than in the mainland."
Sheng An Ning disagreed: "Don't worry, let's wait until things are clear. Pei Nuo doesn't reject us. Maybe she is just close to us in her subconscious, so she won't reject us. We will guide her slowly, and it will definitely get better."
As the two were talking, the study door was pushed open. Pei Nuo was standing barefoot at the door, holding a pillow, with tears all over her face, like a poor abandoned child...
