silence

Chapter 52

Chi Heng was not complacent. If he was really a smart person, he should have forcibly escorted Wilbo and the others away yesterday afternoon, instead of carelessly thinking that the threat of "complaining" is effective against school bullies.

Badman still pretended to search. The two who went upstairs and came back, O'Connor searched very carefully, while the veteran Eli Moore followed perfunctorily, and did not bother to remind him of any doubts.

As an "old friend" who has worked with Badman for more than ten years, others can't see it. He still doesn't know that Badman is deliberately protecting Chi Heng?
But he didn't care, he was retiring soon anyway, he didn't want to make trouble, but at the same time, don't even try to find him.

Chi Heng followed the three of them out of the old house. Badman spread his hands and said, "Mr. Church, unfortunately, there is no suspicious person inside."

Kevin Church's face was ugly, he didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

The search of the old house has come to an end. It is estimated that it will be difficult to find the murderer. Everyone knows that the forest around Lake Shea is vast. If the murderer ran away last night, Don't even try to find it.

Seeing that the night is coming, Badman announced that today's search has come to an end, he will send the body to the capital for forensic examination, and will further search for clues.

The mayor of Martinez also stood up and said that he would issue a ban to let all parents remember that minors are not allowed to go to Lake Shea.

Chi Heng watched this large group of people leave, he sighed, this accident really messed up his plan.

Now he can only make up for his mistakes as much as possible. Without the help of Sergeant Badman today, many things would be irreparable.

"The entrance door to the basement...has to be camouflaged."

Chi Heng pondered, as for how to disguise, he still had to think about it.

"Wang Wang..."

Chi Heng, who was standing at the fence, suddenly heard a puppy emerging from the grass, and ran over directly, circling around him non-stop.

"Hey, who are you?"

When Chi Heng saw this puppy, he recognized it as the schnauzer that Wilbo and others had captured and prepared to torture.

"Good dog."

Chi Heng squatted down, and the puppy stopped circling around, and also squatted at his feet, licking his outstretched palms constantly, it was cute and sympathetic.

But this dirty appearance is probably a stray dog ​​that no one wants.

"Come on, I have nothing to eat here."

After touching the dog's head, Chi Heng gave it a push, making it go away quickly.

Unexpectedly, when he got up and walked into the house, the schnauzer followed closely behind, watching him turn around, and licking his feet flatteringly.

"Hey, don't follow me, I have no plans to raise a dog."

Chi Heng often has to explore in the "extreme world", where can he have time to take care of the puppy.

"Wang Wang!"

The schnauzer barked and rolled over, revealing its belly, as if saying, scratch my belly.

"It's nerve-wracking for you to do this."

Chi Heng didn't scratch its belly, but scratched the back of his head instead.

"If you really want to follow me... there is no good fruit to eat, my friend."

Chi Heng squatted down and patted the schnauzer's head. Seeing the dog's faceless face, he also felt that the dog was quite smart and knew how to hug his thigh. It is true that there are many dangers around Lake Shea. The town of Dock is far away, and the puppy can't live for a few days if it goes out alone.

"Well, you can't eat much if you have one more."

Chi Heng thought, "What's your name? No name?"

After thinking for a while, Chi Heng looked at the Schnauzer carefully, "You look... like an old man, well, you will be called 'Old Man' from now on."

The schnauzer turned over, turned its head to one side, and looked dazed, not knowing that he had a new name.

"Come here, I'll give you a bath first."

Chi Heng went to find a pair of rubber gloves and put them on, carried him to the backyard, and washed the puppy with the tap and detergent. This puppy is not generally smart and well-behaved. Maybe it is the wandering life that makes it know who is right for it A good human being, during the whole cleaning process, it remained obediently motionless, without any struggle, and let Chi Heng do what it wanted.

After cleaning the schnauzer and blow-drying the hair with a hair dryer, the puppy, which has been wandering for a long time, immediately became clean and fresh, and its appearance has improved a lot.

"Wang Wang..."

After cleaning his body, he began to circle Chi Heng again.

"It's a good thing you don't have fleas on you..."

Chi Heng remembered that when he was a child, he raised a garden dog and took it with him wherever he went. Unfortunately, he was hit by a car and died. He was heartbroken for half a month. Seeing the lively Schnauzer now, he couldn't help but With a smile, I recalled the happy time when I was a child—that carefree time, which always makes people can't help but recall it.

"I don't know if there is a pet hospital in Dock Town, and if they can vaccinate you."

After pondering for a while, Chi Heng went into the house to make some ham for the "old man" and put it on a plate. The "old man" immediately rushed to eat happily, looking very hungry.

In addition to this, he also found a cardboard box and put some of his old clothes in it. He originally planned to put it in the courtyard, but considering the danger of the old house after nightfall...he didn't know this kind of thing. Is the danger only for humans, or for all animals? To be cautious, let's take the "old man" into the basement to rest.

Chi Heng hugged the paper box, and the "old man" who was full didn't need to greet him, he just followed Chi Heng's feet. Obviously so hungry, gobbled up the food, but raised his head to look at Chi Heng from time to time, for fear that he would leave.

Taking the elevator into the basement, Chi Heng sighed. The original plan to continue working today was also delayed. It was already dark, and it seemed that it would only be tomorrow.

"Sir, are you back?"

"Battered copper and rotten iron" stayed in the basement warehouse, and its external power supply modification plan had been completed long ago. As a result, Chi Heng never came back after going out last night.

"Well, I'm back, but I was delayed by something."

Chi Heng said hello, and the "old man" following him caught the attention of "Battered Iron". He looked down, and his blue eyes flashed, "This is a... puppy .”

"Yes, puppy."

Chi Heng put the carton in a corner of the warehouse, "It will live here from now on."

"The puppy... is Sir's companion? Does it have a name?"

"Battered Copper" slowly squatted down and stretched out its mechanical arms, as if learning human movements, but "Old Man" was very wary of it, arching his back, showing threatening sharp teeth, and growling in a low voice.

"It has a name, 'Old Man'."

"Old man? Why is it called old man?"

"Because it looks like an old man, that's why it's called Junk.

Chi Heng said as a matter of course, go to pull the "old man" away, the schnauzer is about to bite the robot with its teeth bared, this dog seems to think that "bad copper" is a threat.
