The Ghost Infant in the Dream (3)

"No, no funeral. I don't know where the children went either. They came back, said they wanted to buy a cemetery plot, I gave them the money, and then they disappeared again. I don't know where they took Weiwei. I was watching them then, asking them where Weiwei was. They got impatient. Later, they were often nowhere to be seen, so I gradually forgot."

"Can you not contact those two now?"

"Right, I can't. They're short on cash, so they only come back sometimes."

"When was the last time?"

"About two or three months ago. Before that, I gave them over two thousand. They ate a meal, took some things, and left again."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

"You... you're actually looking for them, aren't you?"

"We already told you our identities."

"Oh..."
