845: work
"I made sandwiches. Don't you like them the most? Come and have a taste."
The woman outside the door saw Mo De and spoke with a radiant smile.
It was as if the incident of him locking her out last night had never happened.
"You want me to eat sandwiches, is that a request?" Mo De looked at the woman in front of him and muttered to himself.
The first point of the supplementary strange talk rules today was that he had to satisfy the requests made by his family during the day, otherwise something bad would happen to him.
From the looks of it, eating breakfast was the first request from his family!
But... this breakfast is sandwiches!
The last rule clearly stated that he hated eating sandwiches, and if he ate them, something terrifying would happen!
Following the other party with his gaze as she walked away, he casually locked the door and Mo De also stepped forward.
As he walked, he suddenly heard some sounds coming from the wooden corridor behind him!
Without showing any expression on his face, A Man followed the woman and soon arrived at the living room.
"Dad!"
The girl sitting on the sofa happily shouted when she saw Mo De.
That normal tone and posture were completely different from the hysterical one he had heard last night.
And the girl's behavior was completely as if she had not experienced what happened last night.
"Haha, Betty is awake so early!" Mo De also showed the emotions a Father should have when he saw the girl.
"Yes, I always go to bed early and wake up early every day!" The girl was more lively than an ordinary Child.
"Alright, come and eat breakfast quickly." The woman brought out three plates of sandwiches from the kitchen and placed them on the dining table.
After placing the food, the woman immediately looked at Mo De: "My dear, eat quickly."
Looking at the sandwiches on the table, Mo De looked at the woman in front of him with a expectant and gentle smile on her face, somewhat silently.
From the moment he opened the door this morning until now, this woman had been focusing on sandwiches, plainly telling him to eat this thing!
But can this thing... be eaten?!
If he didn't eat, he would violate the first strange talk rule. If he ate, he would violate the last strange talk rule that was added today!
This is a question that requires a choice.
If he chose incorrectly, he would violate the rules of this World, and the outcome was self-evident!
"Dad, the sandwiches are so delicious!" Across the table, Hong Lei's daughter had already sat down at the table at some point and was eating sandwiches.
"You eat too, Dad, Mom's breakfast is very delicious!"
The girl Betty spoke happily again, seeming to be eating in a hurry, with a lot of cream on her face.
Hearing the girl's voice, Mo De's throat moved, and then he quickly took out his watch with a hurried expression, immediately having an excuse: "Alas, I'm afraid I don't have time for breakfast. I have to rush to work. There are too many things to deal with regarding Bosen's case recently."
After these words spoken with a hurried tone, Mo De tentatively looked at the two women in front of him.
The Child stared at him without saying a word, with eyes that were completely unlike those a Child could have, making his heart feel a chill!
Then he looked at his wife.
Her expression also became restrained, but it was more like anger: "Mo De, how can you talk about cases in front of the Child? Don't let work matters affect the Child!"
The woman's voice contained emotion.
This humanized emotion sounded somewhat comfortable to Mo De's ears.
"Yes, yes, yes, look at me, I'm so busy I'm confused, saying things without considering the situation." Mo De quickly apologized.
Under his sincere attitude, the anger on the woman's face gradually subsided a lot: "It's really true, you don't even have time to eat a sandwich."
While speaking, the woman brought a lunch box: "I'll pack it for you to take to the Police station to eat. Remember to finish it all, don't waste it, I'll check when you come back tonight."
"Okay." Mo De said with a stiff smile.
It seems that even if he took this multiple-choice question to the Police station, he still had to finish it.
The only thing to be thankful for was that he had postponed the time for submitting the answer.
Then, he only needed to wait until noon, wait until the System bound to him refreshed a lie detection opportunity, and he would have room to maneuver again!
"I'll go first." Not daring to stay at this house for long, using the excuse of going to work, Mo De just wanted to leave these two people as soon as possible.
If he had to satisfy any request they made.
Then the best way to deal with it was for him not to have any unnecessary contact with these two people throughout the day!
"Dad!"
Just as Mo De was about to step out the door, Hong Lei's daughter Betty behind him suddenly spoke: "Tonight, I want to sleep in Dad's room and listen to Dad tell me stories to sleep. Can I?"
The girl clearly made a request that made A Man's breathing tighten.
With a calm and composed expression on his face, Mo De looked at Hong Lei's daughter at the dining table: "Betty, let's discuss this properly after I get off work tonight, how about that?"
Facing this question, he still chose not to answer directly.
Although after Hong Lei's daughter spoke, the question was already laid out.
But Mo De still had the right to delay his reply.
A few minutes later.
Mo De, holding the packed sandwiches, finally walked out of the house.
Looking at the house behind him, his gaze lingered on the two females, one large and one small, within it, and Mo De had a general direction for today's goal.
First, he needed to completely clarify all information about himself at the Police station.
Then, he needed to figure out which of these two women was his real family!
Although knowing more information might not solve any problems, living longer is inevitable when you know more information!
As for the dismemberment case.
This case, from the current perspective, has no significant connection to him.
Perhaps there was some blood on the text of the dismemberment case file, but that was far less terrifying than the two women who knocked on the door at night at home!
Leaving this old courtyard wall, Mo De could see a small truck parked outside with the Police car logo painted on it.
Mo De knew from the information he had reviewed last night.
There was only one Police car in the Town.
That is, the one in front of him, the Police car that his predecessor had modified the appearance of.
A Police station with one Police car, this configuration can be described as extremely simple.
But who cares, there's no one in the Police station at all!
Currently, in the Town, there are only two Police: Mo De, the Sheriff, and Corey, the Police officer.
"Boom!"
In the driver's seat, Mo De successfully started the engine on the first try.
Holding the steering wheel, he also felt a bit of relief.
Fortunately, he had practiced driving for a while not long ago, otherwise how to drive to work would be another problem.
As the vehicle drove steadily, Mo De would occasionally glance at the sandwiches on the passenger seat.
He hadn't eaten anything from yesterday until now, and his stomach was indeed a little hungry.
But he knew very well that he couldn't touch this thing before he understood more information!
"Static!"
Suddenly, a burst of chaotic electronic noise came from the Police officer's special walkie-talkie in the car.
