Chen An felt something was wrong.

When Xia Qin swears that he has not seen the so-called child passing by at all, he immediately realizes that Xia Qin is not making fun of him. Did he really see it wrong? Think about it carefully, who would let his child play so late in the middle of winter? Isn’t it afraid of human traffickers being kidnapped? Besides, he has lived in this place for more than two years, and basically the children nearby have impressions, but it seems that they have never seen the child who has just passed by.

"Let's do this. I'll take leave tomorrow and see the doctor's return and ask the uncles and aunts of the community housing management committee to see if they know the children I've mentioned, otherwise this will be too cunning."

When Chen An returned home, he sat on the small sofa and thought for a while, then looked at Xia Qindao who was preparing to take a shower.

"It's better to inquire, so as not to be suspicious." Xia Qin walked out of the bedroom with her changing clothes and said seriously.

"Don't say the word ghost at night." Chen An said in a heavy mood.

"Don't scare yourself, the saints have said, respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them." Xia Qin sighed helplessly. "It's not surprising that people have hallucinations when their mental stimulation. Don't forget that you suddenly fainted when you got off the bus before. Perhaps it was the effect of sequelae that made you misunderstand."

"Xia Qin, I didn't realize that you know a lot about these things." Chen An looked at Xia Qin in a little surprised.

"Nonsense, I've been working in the newspaper for almost half a year. I haven't heard of any strange things. Just a while ago, someone came to the newspaper and said that he saw someone flying in the sky in the middle of the night!" Xia Qin said angrily. "I won't tell you, I'm going to take a shower."

No words all night.

When he went to work early in the morning, Chen An and his company applied for a day off. After getting approval, they immediately went to a well-known local clinic in Cangyang for treatment. It took more than two hours to queue up before it was his turn. As a result, after the doctor's examination, he was in good health and had no problems. As for hallucinations, the doctor only said that it was because of his recent work pressure, which caused his mental tension. In the end, the doctor prescribed a few pairs of calming medicines and sent Chen An.

Chen An did not doubt the doctor's diagnosis, but out of self-doubtful testimony, he went to other clinics for verification and diagnosis. As a result, the doctors all believed that his physical and mental problems were not a problem, which made Chen An really relieved. But the question is what happened to the child he saw last night? Hallucinations? Or the newly moved resident children?

"Aunt Liu, I'm disturbing you. Can you ask me if you want to ask about something?"

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after seeing the disease, Chen An came to the community residential management committee near his home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Aunt Liu of the management committee filling out some reports on his desk. He knocked on the open wooden door and greeted him politely.

"Oh, it's Xiao Chen. Is there anything wrong?" Aunt Liu immediately put down the work at hand after seeing Chen An and smiled kindly. "Don't stand there stupidly, come and sit down."

"Thank you, Aunt Liu."

Chen An sat down at the chair in front of his desk while thanking him.

The Community Residential Management Association is a spontaneous organization of grassroots people. Its main function is to mediate conflicts and disputes between community neighbors. The rental, population registration, water, electricity, and gas of community houses are also managed by the Management Association. In the past, he had been voluntarily helping the Management Association for a period of time, so he maintained a good relationship with the uncles and aunts of the Management Association.

"I haven't seen you Xiao Chen for a while. You're very busy at work, right?" Aunt Liu poured a glass of water for Chen An and greeted her.

"Actually, it's okay. After getting familiar with the job, I'm no longer as busy as I was at the beginning, and my work became much easier." Chen An said. "On the contrary, Xia Qin's work often requires working overtime very late before she can come back."

"It's not easy for anyone to live." Aunt Liu sighed, and then said with a righteous expression. "I almost forgot the serious business. Didn't you just say that you have something to ask me for inquiries? What's the matter?"

"Aunt Liu is like this, may I ask you have seen it..." As he said that, Chen An described the physical characteristics of the child he saw last night.

"I think about it, I'm seven or eight years old, brown children's clothing, holding a blue and white ball in my hand..." Aunt Liu pondered for a moment. "Sorry, Xiao Chen, I don't have any impression of the child you mentioned."

"Have new tenants moved to our community recently?" Chen An thought about it and said.

"No, if there is, I will have a registration here." Aunt Liu said.

"Then thank Aunt Liu. If it's okay, I'll leave first." Chen An planned to leave after saying that.

"Okay, if I remember something one day, I will tell you." Aunt Liu said directly without any doubt.

Chen An, who had no gains, did not continue to delve into it. It was a bit unworthy of the loss when he asked for leave for this matter. Since his health had been confirmed to be fine, the child's affairs were simply dazzled, so why bother himself?

After solving the dinner problem at a nearby noodle restaurant, Chen An returned home.

Since he and Xia Qin officially started work, they rarely ate together. They all settled their own meals in the morning, noon and evening. Only the rest day is the exception. I guess when Xia Qin's internship ended and transferred to civilian work, the two of them would have time to have dinner together in the evening.

"Did you take a leave to go to the clinic today? What is the doctor's diagnosis?"

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Xia Qin rarely worked too late. The first thing she did when she opened the door and saw Chen An was to ask about his situation.

"I ran for a day and went to four clinics. The doctors all clearly diagnosed that I had no health problems. Now you can rest assured, right?" Chen An put down the martial arts novel used for entertainment and said to Xia Qin with a comforting smile.

"What about the child?" Xia Qin asked.

"I asked Aunt Liu from the Management Association. She also had no impression of the child I mentioned. Maybe I really read it wrong." Chen An sighed softly.

"I just said that, it must be because you were dazzled with hallucinations." Xia Qin said relaxed.

"Why are you getting off work so early today? Are you clues about gas poisoning?" Chen An intentionally or unintentionally changed the topic.

"You guess." Xia Qin suddenly smiled mischievously.

"I don't guess." Chen An said with a pout.

"It's boring." Xia Qin snorted lightly, sat directly on Chen An, put his hands on his neck and said, "The gas poisoning has come to an end."

"Ha?" Chen An was stunned for a moment. "What's the situation?"

"Didn't you listen to the radio?" Xia Qin said in surprise. "This afternoon, the police held a press conference to investigate the cause of gas poisoning, claiming that it was done by a theft gang, but the specific details of the crime were not announced."

"Really or not?" Chen An said a little disbelief.

"The prisoners have confessed. Is this fake?" Xia Qin shrugged. "And the weekly journals seem to agree with the police's statement. In the past, he would have to find out the truth."

"I always feel that something is wrong." Chen An said his thoughts bluntly.

"So what if it's wrong? If you have any objections, you can investigate it privately, but the question is who will be willing to investigate the so-called truth and offend the police?" Xia Qin said with a bad face.

"Hey, I'll just say a few words, why are you so responsive?" Chen An said strangely.

"Because I asked the same question as you, I was criticized by the superiors." Xia Qin buried her head in Chen An's arms and said aggrievedly.

"Is your leader sick? You can't tell me if you have any questions?" Chen An stood clearly on Xia Qin's side.

"This matter is very complicated. I heard from my internal senior sister that someone from the government came to talk to the president in the morning. After the police held a press conference in the afternoon, the club exposed the incident of gas poisoning." Xia Qin frowned.

"So that's the case. It seems that the government is planning to control public opinion." Chen An said thoughtfully.

"Hey, I'm just a small intern reporter anyway. No matter how big the matter is, I'm not going to be my turn. As long as I get off work on time and pay my salary on time, I'm already satisfied." Xia Qin said with a bit of a self-deprecating intention.

"Forget it, don't think so much." Chen An gently stroked Xia Qin's head and said. "Speaking of it, it seems we haven't done it for five or six days..."

"Pervert, go away!"

...

...

The next day, Chen An walked out of the house with a refreshed spirit and prepared to go to the station to work. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Aunt Liu who came back from buying vegetables on the way.

"Xiao Chen!"

"Good morning Aunt Liu!"

"Xiao Chen, come here." Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu's face changed when she saw his face. She grabbed his arm and walked to the side mysteriously and whispered. "Didn't you ask me about that child yesterday? I know who he is!"

"Hmm?" Chen An said in amazement. "Is there really such a child?"

"That's right, I chatted with you Aunt Zhang last night about this, but your Aunt Zhang said something. More than ten years ago, a couple brought their children here to rent a house. Because the couple was busy with work, they usually locked their children at home and rarely brought them out to play. Later, one day, the child was planning to climb out to play when his parents were not at home. Who knew that if he didn't pay attention, the child fell down and died. The place where he fell to death was the building where you Aunt Zhang lived." Aunt Liu said nervously. "Do you know? At that time, there was a blue and white ball next to the child. It is said that the child was thrown down and prepared to play..."

"Hiss...Aunt Liu, don't scare me!" Chen An instantly raised his hair and said.

"Xiao Chen, I said, have you really seen him?" Aunt Liu said in a panic. "If you really see him, Auntie advises you to go to the temple to burn incense and remove the evil spirits!"

"Aunt Liu, do you think there is a possibility? The child I saw is not the same as the child you mentioned?" Chen An forced calm down and calmed down.

"No matter whether it is, it's safe to find time to go to the temple to burn incense and ask a master to check it out." Aunt Liu persuaded. "If you are contaminated by dirty things, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable."
