Chapter 441 If It Weren't for the Water Leak Upstairs

Forget it, Li Mu shook his head, thinking, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. There are always people who will deliberately provoke others on the road and then make others responsible for breaking the law to defraud insurance. You can't tell whether they are just for the insurance premium of a few hundred or a thousand yuan.

After the traffic police handled it, they said that they would find their own insurance company. Some damages were within 2,000 yuan at first glance. The insurance company would directly make quick compensation, and the other driver would receive the money quickly. At that time, they would find a friend's repair shop to pay some taxes and issue a repair invoice. The remaining part of the money would be their net profit.

To put it bluntly, this is also called "touching porcelain". Whoever encounters it will be unlucky.

The rain that had been falling for a day finally stopped completely after the early morning. The road was still wet, and it didn't look like it would dry before the sun came out.

After Li Mu parked the car, he bent down to check the tires and the chassis of the vehicle. Because the chassis of this car was not high, Li Mu couldn't see anything clearly.

Since I was so busy during this period, I didn't wash the car after returning from New Year's Day. If I really hit Xiao Hei, if there was bleeding, there might be something stuck to the chassis.

Although so many days have passed, the probability of finding these things again should be very low.

Li Mu got up and locked the car door, thinking to himself, no matter what, just go to the store to repaint. Anyway, send the car to a repair shop near the community after dawn for maintenance. When the car is lifted, you can see the situation under the chassis.

Must take a look, no matter what the result is.

Li Mu's determination is as big as the moon in the sky. He has an impulse of both uneasiness and determination. He feels that if he can't figure out whether Xiao Hei's death is related to him, he will always be confused and worried, and his memory will get worse and worse.

While thinking about how he almost beat up the fat man in the afternoon, he also thought that it must be his imagination, and he should not have beaten him.

Such a mess, it's really terrible.

After locking the car door, Li Mu suddenly heard a faint cat meowing sound coming from the bushes at his feet.

It had rained all day, and the flower bed was not only wet but also had a lot of dirt splashed onto the ground. The light was dim, and it was not easy for Li Mu to lean over to see clearly.

He thought about whether to turn on the flashlight on his phone to see clearly, but he was afraid that the light would suddenly be too bright and scare the cat.

It was even more impossible to use the car lights for lighting, because even the mice would probably hide.

Li Mu listened quietly and walked forward along the flower bed little by little. The meowing sound seemed to be getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be getting louder and louder.

But Li Mu didn't believe that the sound really came from a living cat, because he would hear this faint cat meowing sound whenever he returned home these days.

At the end of the semicircular flower bed was a pomelo tree that had been planted for only a few years. The pomelo tree looked dark at night, and there were still a few pomeloes on it that had not been knocked down by people. It was estimated that they could only be looked at and not eaten.

Usually, few people would go into this corner, because the pomelo tree was a dead end. More than a year ago, the property management put a bench next to the flower bed, but later found that the bench was only an extra place for the homeless to sleep, and this place was a dead end that the community surveillance could not see.

It is estimated that after a homeowner complained, the property management removed the bench a few days later.

There are still four holes filled in the ground, which were originally used to fix the bench.

Li Mu took advantage of the night to check under the tree. Suddenly, he saw two yellow bright spots. Looking more carefully, it was a pair of yellow eyes.

"Meow."

This time, Li Mu heard it clearly, it was a cat's cry that was so real that it couldn't be more real.

Li Mu turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and covered it with his hand to get close to the eyes.

When he got closer, he saw a brown and black patterned kitten curled up on the ground, looking like it was injured.

Li Mu really wanted to ask it, "Didn't you eat cat food with Xiao Hei before? How did Xiao Hei die?"

He almost blurted it out, but he held it back. If a cat could answer him, the world would be more disturbing.

I'm not that stupid.

Thinking, Li Mu reached out and touched the kitten. The kitten didn't resist, but meowed weakly a few times.

Li Mu thought about whether to take her home, but thought that after all, it was a wild cat in the community, so taking it home was not a solution, so he simply found a box for it to live in.

Thinking of this, Li Mu returned to the car, opened the trunk and took out the shoe box containing sports shoes, then ran back to the grapefruit tree, gently picked up the kitten and put it in the box. The kitten was wet, and Li Mu thought that it might not have eaten or was sick, so he blamed himself for his bad memory and returned to the car to take some cat food from the trunk.

"Eat, this should be enough for you. I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."

"Meow."

After doing all this, Li Mu felt very peaceful. He walked in the night, feeling the quietest moment of the day around the sea. I have lived in this community for several years, and I have never found the community garden so quiet at night.

The fountain was gently splashing water, and most of the lights were turned off, leaving only two or three small yellow lights reflecting the water.

Li Mu did not go home directly, but walked around the walking path in the direction of the fountain.

The pebbles on the walking path had a kind of hardness that was unique to winter, but after being rained on for a day, they regained some softness and did not slip when stepped on.

He suddenly felt relieved and remembered a line in a movie - if a person cannot sleep, he will not be truly awake.

Now he felt that he was probably truly awake, with the deep pink clouds in the sky, the sound of flowers and plants in the wind at night, the sound of the stream, and the sound of the fountain every time it was started.

After his body and mind were relaxed and his brain was clear, Li Mu felt that as long as he had a good sleep, the terrible images and uncontrollable rage before would surely disappear.

He remembered what the doctor said, "Get a good night's sleep first, and then be sure to come for a follow-up visit."

Yes, it is really easy to be such a doctor. The patient talked for a long time about wanting to control his temper, rage, and fearing that he would not be able to help hitting people. He just listened and agreed with you, and finally told you to get a good night's sleep first.

Otherwise, take some medicine and get a good night's sleep.

Li Mu laughed, sleep can cure all diseases.

It's easy to say, but it's still impossible to ensure a good sleep for the time being. Li Mu thought, let's try to get one or two good nights of sleep first, and then wait for the project at the company to stabilize, and then slowly adjust the daily routine.

After having a plan, Li Mu was a little more energetic, so he walked towards home easily.

————

Li Mu was in a good mood just before entering the bathroom, but I don't know what happened. As soon as he entered the bathroom, Li Mu heard a strange sound again, and then saw water flowing down the wall.

In addition, there was a strange smell in the bathroom that had changed from weird to fishy.

Li Mu wanted to ask Qiu Tong if she had noticed this strange smell, but he was so busy recently that he had no time to talk to Qiu Tong.

Li Mu decided to send a WeChat message to his wife tomorrow to ask about this matter, or, don't be polite, go to the property management to talk about this matter after waking up, and then go to the house upstairs to see if there was a leak under the floor tiles.

Things will consume energy if they are delayed. This is what Li Mu has always said to Xiao Di and other company employees. Don't delay small things. When there are too many small things, you can't do them. At that time, you want to hide, but you can't hide at all. These accumulated little things will become troubles that consume your energy every day. The only correct way is to solve them one by one.

Growing up and working are actually the same as studying in childhood. Today, algebra is not good, so you don't learn it. Tomorrow, I didn't memorize English words well and thought I would put it aside. A month later, I started to learn geometry, but I didn't have time to review algebra. Then, I didn't learn optics well, and I couldn't keep up with electricity. If you don't fill in the small holes, even a top student will become a scumbag one day.

This is even more true after work. Many people think that some people are born excellent, have high IQs, or are gifted, like those in TV shows, the pride of heaven, and top students of Yanda University. It seems that they can get everything going well when they encounter something with their IQs.

This is not the case at all. Contrary to common sense, those who are more down-to-earth, more unpretentious, look more clumsy, but work diligently, never procrastinate or make excuses, and never pile up troubles can achieve career success step by step in the company, and everyone is more willing to cooperate with such people who are planned and can strictly follow the plan.

Li Mu has always been such a person. People think that he is talented, highly educated and intelligent. In fact, he knows that these are the result of his years of study and work habits.

It's just that recently, because he is too tired or because he always quarrels with Qiu Tong, his work habits have become a little chaotic.

Maybe this is what is called that husband and wife will become each other after a long time, and they will be infected with some of each other's habits.

Qiu Tong is a very good wife and an excellent woman, but she seems to like quarreling and is becoming more and more impatient.

Li Mu first turned on the shower on the bathtub, and then turned on the faucet in front of the makeup mirror, wanting to wash his face before the water heats up.

The cold water flowed out, making a sobering sound. When he reached out to catch some water, Li Mu found that his hands were full of red blood stains.

This is——————————

Li Mu quickly looked in the mirror, raised his chin and looked at his nose. After confirming that he was definitely not bleeding from the nose, he quickly understood where the blood stains were wiped from.

This is not his own blood, but the blood on the cat in the community just now.

The reason why it looks so weak is that it is injured.

Li Mu took a simple shower and went to bed to rest. He looked at Qiu Tong again. This time, the wound on her face seemed to have healed a little, but there were many bloodstains on her exposed arms.

Li Mu shook his head. Impossible. This was not done by me.

Although he denied it, Li Mu still felt distressed and could not believe that it really had nothing to do with him. But they obviously had no chance to be together, so how could it be him?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

He jumped out of bed like a giant rabbit, went to the bathroom first, and the smell was still there. So he washed in the bathroom of another bedroom, put on sweatpants and sweaters, and went upstairs.

Ding dong ding dong ding dong.

After a doorbell rang, a young girl about 20 years old opened the door.

"Who is it?" The girl looked like she was still asleep.

Li Mu couldn't control that much. He barely suppressed his anger and told him about the leakage and smell in the bathroom. As for his attitude, Li Mu felt that he was quite polite.

"Huh? Water leakage? Impossible." The girl said to Li Mu with wide round eyes.

"What's impossible? If it's not a leak in your home, it's a leak in the property's sewer pipe under your bathroom." Li Mu said.

"No way. This house is 91,000 square meters. It can't be so shoddily built. How many years has it passed before the sewer leaked? It's not as good as those husband's houses." The girl complained slyly.

This complaint was reasonable, and Li Mu simply started to complain too.

After complaining, the girl suddenly stared hard at Li Mu's face, and then shouted into the room, "Sister, come and see, isn't this the Li Mu you like?"

elder sister?

Before Li Mu could react, he only heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and then two girls who looked exactly the same and wore the same clothes appeared in front of Li Mu.

"Twins?" Li Mu asked.

"Well, but I don't like you. I like the other male guest on your show, the healer named Liu Shihua. He's so great and gentle." The girl looked obsessed, then said to her sheepishly Li Mu smiled awkwardly.

This~

Li Mu could only smile along with him, and suddenly sneezed.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Li Mu, come in and sit down. It's cold outside. Why aren't you wearing a coat?" The speaker was another girl called sister.

"Okay, don't bother me. I just want to tell you that your house is leaking, and our bathroom now smells. How about you come down with me and take a look?"

Li Mu suggested.

My sister nodded and agreed politely, turned around and ran to the room, took out a white down jacket, put it on, and followed Li Mu to the elevator.

"It's so cold, isn't it?" The girl found a topic and said to Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded, having no time to chat.

"Um, don't you know about the bathroom leak?" Li Mu asked.

The girl shook her head, "I don't know. If you say you want to go and have a look, then go and have a look."

After saying that, the girl narrowed her eyes at Li Mu and smiled.

"I'm sorry to ask, do you live here permanently? I mean are you the landlord or the tenant?"

"Eh? Do you think we are like tenants? Oh, after all, the house is 90,000 yuan per square meter." The girl laughed again.

Li Mu, who was laughing, had no idea what was going on.

After arriving at Li Mu's house, the girl exclaimed in amazement: "Wow, what a big house."

Li Mu's eyes darkened and he thought, aren't these exactly the same room types? Why is it so big?

"Ah, it looks like she is really married. What a pity." The girl said to herself and walked around the room. Except for the bathroom, she seemed to have walked everywhere else.

"Oh my God, is this your wife? She looks like a star, too. No wonder the host and judges always praise you as a good man. We female fans have praised you so much that we regard you as a marriage partner." The girl expressed her admiration over and over again at the wedding photos of the two of them.

After walking around for two times, I remembered that I came to see the bathroom, and said embarrassedly: "Um, where is the bathroom you mentioned?"

Li Mu stretched out his left hand and pointed the direction of the bathroom to the girl. The girl quickly agreed, "Oh oh oh, here it is."

"Do you smell it?" Li Mu asked.

The girl took a step forward and immediately backed out, "It smells so bad. What's going on? Is there something dead in there?"

"Eh? You think so too?" Although the girl's metaphor was rude, it was really a good point. There was indeed a smell of dead things permeating the bathroom.

"Well, I think so too. That's why I came to disturb you early in the morning. I wanted to see if your house is leaking. Because the sewer leaks, the smell is always not good."

"Yes, but our house won't smell that bad. How is this possible?"

After finishing speaking, the girl turned and walked towards the door. As she walked, she said anxiously: "Mr. Li Mu, you and I can go up and have a look. I don't have any sense of direction. Things like houses, although I understand what everyone often says, the same house number. The room types are all the same, but the floor is different. The structure is exactly the same. Actually, I walked to two different floors to see two different sets of rooms. I have no way to intuitively understand this. The two houses are structurally the same.

Maybe it's because I never care about these things. Anyway, as long as someone's home is decorated and the owner's unique style is added, I don't understand the original structure of the house. Or ask my sister to help you take a look. She studies architectural design. I've always been very talented. "

The girl was so polite, and Li Mu naturally nodded in agreement. The two of them went straight up the corridor without waiting for the elevator. The sister opened the door and invited Li Mu in, and then showed him around the room.

"I'm sorry, we have changed this house. The original bathroom in the master bedroom is now a study room. Because I like reading, I changed the bathroom into a study room. This three-bedroom, two-living-room, and two-bathroom apartment is now slightly different from yours. The room type is a little different," my sister said, leaning against the wall.

Indeed, this location has now been transformed into a study, a clean study, not to mention leaking, not even a drop of water.

The younger sister took Li Mu to another bathroom. It looked like the original independent bathroom had been transformed into two connected bathrooms of slightly smaller areas. This design was not common. Most people would rarely directly transform a bathroom into two symmetrical ones, unless the area was too large to be used, or there were particularly high requirements for hygiene.
