Under the leadership of Sifu, Xia Yuanqiu and Zhu Yan came to the dormitory where Vice President Xiao lived. It was a small courtyard with a small appearance. The yard was small and the house was not big. There was only one bedroom and a utility room. The living conditions were Not even as good as Yuan Qiu’s residence.
Zhu Yan asked curiously: "Deputy Dean Xiao is also a deputy dean after all. Why does he live in such a simple place?"
Sifu replied: "To be honest with Mr. Zhu, the residence that was originally arranged for Deputy Director Xiao was not here, but the former residence of the ancient Deputy Director. Because it was a bit old, people were sent to repair it. Deputy Director Xiao The guide only lives here temporarily."
I see! The three of them entered the courtyard. The grass in the courtyard was green and soft, like freshly laid turf, with no trace of anyone walking on it.
When I opened the door again, I was greeted by the smell of dust. There was a layer of dust on the table in the room, and there were no beddings on the bed. It was obvious that no one had lived there.
Sifu said: "This Vice Dean Xiao is a local of Donghai City. His home is across the street from Donghai College. He probably goes home to live on weekdays."
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Then let's go to Director Mo's residence first."
Sifu then led the two of them to Director Mo's residence. Compared with the small courtyard just now, this courtyard looked much more grand. The courtyard walls were made of green bricks and the houses in the courtyard were large enough. There are four or five rooms, which shows that the difference between the main and deputy rooms is quite big.
There are obvious traces of footsteps on the grass in the courtyard. From the courtyard gate to the courtyard hall, there is a gravel path. There are also some unknown flowers and plants planted on both sides. They are in full bloom and there is a faint fragrance in the air. The scent of grass and flowers.
Before the three of them arrived at the house, Sifu knocked on the door. No one answered after knocking for a while, so he simply stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. The door was only ajar, but opened as soon as he pushed it. The inside was very bright, and the tables and chairs were all wiped clean. It's very clean, and the beds in the room are neatly made and organized, without a trace of clutter.
It seems that Director Mo is a mysophobic person. The residences of ordinary men are rarely so clean and tidy.
There was no one inside or outside the house. The neatness of the bed made it unclear whether he had just left or whether he had stayed away all night. For someone who loves cleanliness and tidiness like this, it is very likely that he would fold the quilt neatly as soon as he got up. It's like I haven't slept at all.
"Does Director Mo have any other place to live?" Xia Yuanqiu asked.
Sifu nodded: "Yes, he is also a local of Donghai City. His parents, wife and children all live in the city, but he rarely goes home. He usually lives in the college. He is not here at the moment, and I don't know if he has gone home. "
"In this case, let's go to their homes to look for them. First, we'll go to Vice-President Xiao's home which is closest to here." Xia Yuanqiu said.
Sifu took the two of them out of Donghai College and came to an alley across the street from the college: "Vice Dean Xiao's family is at Xiao's house at the end of the alley."
The alley was very quiet, and I didn't even meet a single pedestrian on the road.
Outside Xiao's house, just as Sifu was about to knock on the door, the door opened, and a basin of water was poured over him, all over Sifu, and Xia Yuanqiu and Zhu Yan were also splashed.
The person who splashed the water was a woman. When she saw the water splashing on people, she quickly dropped the wooden basin in her hand and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It was my negligence. I'm really sorry."
Sifu took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, took out a half-wet cloth from his arms, wiped his face and said, "I am the Sifu manager of Donghai College. Is Vice President Xiao at home?"
