"Young mistress? Where are you going?"
Bian Zijun hurriedly threw down the box and chased out. He saw Mu Yu standing in front of the fence shared with Yue Shuibao's family, staring blankly at the next door.
"Young lady, you..."
"Bring me a bucket."
Bian Zijun was stunned: "Get a bucket?"
"Well, bring a spoon, I'm going to water those vegetables."
"okay."
Bian Zijun immediately turned around and ran into the house.
Mu Yu stretched out her hand to gently touch the loofah vine that had stretched into the yard here, her eyes full of pity and reluctance.
"Young mistress, the water is here." Bian Zijun gently put a bucket of water next to her, "I'll water it."
"No, I'll do it myself." Mu Yu took the spoon in his hand and poured the water carefully. He grabbed the railing with one hand when he couldn't reach it, and stretched the hand holding the water spoon towards the next door. Then water it vigorously to let all the vegetable vines in the yard absorb as much water as possible.
Seeing that she was struggling to water the water, Bian Zijun tried to come forward to help several times, but she refused. He could only help her carry buckets of water.
Finally, all the vegetables next door were watered, but Mu Yu was still reluctant to leave. He carefully set up a few vegetable vines that were growing crookedly. He saw that several loofahs were already quite big. He was afraid of breaking the vines. I asked Bian Zijun to make several small hanging baskets out of paper shells to hold them up.
After all this work, Bian Zijun finally couldn't help but urge: "Young lady, it's getting dark. If you don't go back, the boss will be anxious."
While they were busy, Qin Jinhuan called several times and asked why they hadn't gone back yet.
"All right."
Mu Yu put the spoon back into the bucket and asked Bian Zijun to clean up the garbage he had just made. Then he and he left Lijing Home and came to Royal Hyatt.
As soon as he entered the hotel lobby, he saw Qin Jinhuan walking towards him, and Mu Yu hurriedly greeted him.
"Are you going out?"
"No," he took her hand and "picked you up to have dinner with me."
"Oh, I thought you were going out. Have you ordered food?"
"Well, I'll wait for you to serve."
"Are Captain Rong and Xiaofan back?"
"We're all back and have gone to the restaurant."
Mu Yu hurriedly followed him and asked urgently: "How is the investigation going on Xiaofan's side? Are the whereabouts of those old neighbors known?"
"I didn't ask. You can ask them after dinner later."
The two of them came to a private room in the restaurant as they talked.
In addition to Rong Jian, Liu Xiaofan and Cheng Xiang, Chang Jiajia was also in the box, which surprised Mu Yu.
Chang Jiajia was obviously very restrained. When he saw her, he immediately came over and said with anxiety: "Sister Mu Yu, these policemen insist on asking me to eat together. I..."
Liu Xiaofan smiled and said, "You helped us a lot today. Having a meal together is not enough to express our gratitude to you."
Rong Jian motioned to Mu Yu to take her to sit down, and comforted him with a smile: "I have to continue to work hard these days to help you. We are already sorry that you don't charge us for the labor. We can't ignore this meal."
"You are working so hard just for the sake of peace. Although we say we are helping you, we are actually helping us, the people themselves."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk so much. Let's treat it as friends having dinner together." Mu Yu smiled and pulled Chang Jiajia to sit down. "Can we be considered friends?"
"Of course it counts! It's just..." Chang Jiajia nodded very seriously, but then paused and did not continue what she wanted to say.
Mu Yu noticed her hesitation, but didn't ask any more questions. He just smiled and put the chopsticks in front of her, and while greeting everyone to eat, he took some dishes for her.
"Thank you, Sister Mu Yu."
"You're welcome, just eat."
"This Huaiwang fish soup is delicious, try it." Cheng Xiang, who was sitting next to Chang Jiajia, turned a plate of fish in front of her, quietly pressed the table, and lowered his voice to remind her.
Chang Jiajia glanced at the others uneasily and saw that everyone was eating their own food and no one was paying attention to her, so she quickly scooped a spoonful of fish soup into the bowl and expressed her gratitude gently.
“The braised prawns in oil are also good, too.
Give it a try. "Cheng Xiang took advantage of no one's attention and quietly transferred a plate of shrimps to Chang Jiajia.
"Thank you." Chang Jiajia quickly put a shrimp into the bowl, then lowered her head and tasted it carefully.
You must know that many of the Royal Hyatt's very expensive specialties on this table are. The most expensive dish is even worth her month's salary. Normally when entertaining guests, they only have a look at it, and they don't even dare to sit there in a grand manner. Opportunity to enjoy delicious food at the table. She felt that she would only have this opportunity to taste top-notch food once in her life, so she ate with great care and meticulousness.
Everyone tacitly pretended not to notice Cheng Xiang's attentiveness, and everyone ate what they had.
Mu Yu, who was eager to understand the situation, originally wanted to ask questions at the dinner table, but thought it would be impolite, so he endured it and waited until the meal was over. After dinner, at Qin Jinhuan's reminder, Cheng Xiang took everyone to a small conference hall.
After entering the conference hall, before everyone could sit down, Mu Yu couldn't wait to ask Liu Xiaofan what he had learned in the afternoon.
"The information provided by the police is not perfect, but fortunately with the help of Ms. Chang, it is estimated that she will be able to put it all in place tomorrow. Then we can visit each family to understand the situation. After collecting the information tomorrow, I will divide it according to the area Then I will give you the task.”
"By the way! Captain Rong, something suddenly occurred to me!" Mu Yu immediately looked at Rong Jian.
"What's the matter?" Rong Jian was talking to Qin Jinhuan in a low voice and looked at her immediately after hearing her words.
"Although Team Guo and Team Qiao are a bit arrogant, they are quite meticulous in their work. Even if they couldn't find out anything unusual about Zhao Yongli and Li Jianyun in Huacheng, I guess Weng Yun wouldn't be able to find anything either. I think we can Should there be a different approach?"
"Sister-in-law, you mean"
"Didn't we never find out the whereabouts of Zhao Yongli's wife Gong Lilan? I always felt that there was something fishy about her disappearance. Maybe she had foreseen today's murder, so she hid with her children early. "
"You've told me this speculation before," Rong Jian didn't take it seriously before, but now that she mentioned it again, he felt that this possibility could not be ruled out. After thinking about it, he asked in a consultative tone. Qin Jinhuan, "Then when Weng Yun comes tomorrow, let him focus on checking Gong Li's whereabouts?"
"I've checked this before," Liu Xiaofan muttered immediately, "I've tried many methods, but I still can't find it at all."
"Maybe she doesn't want to be related to the past at all, so she completely changes her identity and lives."
Liu Xiaofan spread his hands: "If this is true, then she will definitely not let us find out."
"She won't be dead, right? She won't be killed by Zhao Yongli, right? Otherwise, how could there be no news at all in six years?"
Cheng Xiang's sudden words startled Mu Yu, but then he expressed disbelief: "There is a child between them. I remember that child was ten years old six years ago. Even if Zhao Yongli and Gong Lilan If they had a bad relationship and had a conflict and killed her, they wouldn't kill the children together, right? When we investigated Zhao Yongli in Ancheng, although the neighbors didn't like him very much, they all agreed that he loved his children. It is a kind of nature, cruelty is directed towards others, and one loves one's own children at all times. It is said that a tiger's poison cannot eat its own children. "
"That's not necessarily the case." Liu Xiaofan had a different view. "As far as I know, Zhao Yongli has a very serious preference for boys over girls. Ultimately, the reason why he is so cruel to Kiki is because she is a girl. If she had been a boy, her fate would certainly not be so tragic."
Rong Jian nodded and continued: "Zhao Yongli is indeed very patriarchal. According to their neighbors, Gong Lilan became pregnant several times after giving birth to his eldest daughter, but she was induced to have labor after five or six months because of the It's a daughter. Later, Gong Lilan refused to get pregnant again, and they had many arguments about this, and Zhao Yongli was obedient to his current wife because she gave birth to a boy. "
Mu Yu looked at him in surprise: "So you also think that Gong Lilan is likely to be killed by Zhao Yongli?"
"There is no evidence for this, so it's hard to say. But this possibility cannot be ruled out."
Liu Xiaofan answered: "He must have killed both Gong Lilan and his daughter before escaping to Ancheng, thousands of miles away, to make a living."
Cheng Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Could the girl Qian Xiaoyu mentioned be Zhao Yongli's daughter?"
His wide-open imagination surprised everyone
"But what does this girl have to do with Sun Meilan, Qian Daqing and Li Jianyun?"
Mu Yu's words made everyone laugh out loud again.
Cheng Xiang suddenly felt embarrassed, scratched his head and laughed dryly: "I just said it casually."
"We cannot easily reject any speculation. Before the truth is found out, everything is possible. Everything must be investigated thoroughly." Rong Jian did not smile, and looked at everyone seriously to remind him. After speaking, he turned to Qin Jinhuan again, "Let Weng Yun investigate Gong Lilan's whereabouts carefully."
Seeing Qin Jinhuan nodded, he looked at everyone again and said, "Everyone didn't get a good rest last night. Let's go back and get some rest early tonight. There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow."
"Captain Rong, Director Gu didn't blame you for what happened to Captain Guo and Captain Qiao, right?" Mu Yu asked Rong Jian quietly when leaving the conference room.
Rong Jian smiled: "It's useless to blame, they have already gone back. Director Gu gave us an extra month."
"What if we can't find the real culprit within a month?"
Liu Xiaofan, who was walking in front, immediately turned back, shrugged and rolled his eyes: "Then go back and let Guo Fei and Qiao Zihan see the joke. They will definitely die laughing."
Rong Jian didn't react much, and just said lightly, "As long as we find a breakthrough, there is definitely no case that cannot be solved."
Their words put a lot of pressure on Mu Yu, and he went back to the room with Qin Jinhuan very depressed.
Qin Jinhuan saw the pressure in her heart and immediately comforted her.
Mu Yu originally wanted to discuss the case with him, but suddenly remembered that he had mentioned that there would be a video conference in the evening, so he said nothing more. After washing, he lay on the bed alone and looked through the notebook. Maybe because she got up too early in the morning, didn't get enough sleep last night, and didn't take a break at noon today, her eyelids felt heavy not long after going to bed and she fell asleep quickly.
Maybe it was because the bed was soft and the quilt was fragrant, or maybe it was because Qin Jinhuan was by her side, which gave her a sense of security. In short, she slept very soundly, and she slept until about eight o'clock the next morning.
After a full sleep, she was full of energy. She wanted to ask Liu Xiaofan if he had divided the tasks, but when he opened the phone, he saw Liu Xiaofan's WeChat message, saying that he had not sorted it out yet, and asked her to continue to rest and contact her after sorting it out.
She couldn't rest anymore and was about to go out for a walk. When Qin Jinhuan saw this, he put down the work at hand and accompanied her to the restaurant to have something to eat before going out together.
"Where are we going?" he asked her on the way.
"Xiaofan hasn't arranged any tasks yet. I don't want to be idle. Why don't we ask a few old neighbors we know about the situation." Mu Yu named Weng Jiali, Wei Yunrong and Zeng Jingou.
After Bian Zijun asked for their addresses, he took her to the homes of these three people one after another.
When she was walking on the road, she remembered that Weng Jiali had moved away with Shi Renhui, so she called Weng Jiali to ask about the situation. Weng Jiali said that she was never enthusiastic about the situation around her home and had never paid attention to these issues. Mu Yusui went to the homes of Wei Yunrong and Zeng Jingou one after another. Wei Yunrong did not want to see them because he was angry before, and Zeng Jingou had been raising his grandson out of town for the past few years and did not know much about the situation at home. , Jiji Waiwai failed to give any useful clues for a long time, and finally Mu Yu left their home disappointed.
"Boss, young lady, it's already past twelve o'clock. Let's go to the small shop in front to have lunch."
Bian Zijun's words made Mu Yu feel a little strange: "Aren't you usually most afraid of me eating in small shops?"
"Uh, today..."
"Usually it's because I'm not around and I'm afraid you'll be in danger. Today I'm here, so of course he's not afraid anymore." After Qin Jinhuan finished speaking, he led Mu Yu into the store with a smile.
Mu Yu deliberately teased him: "Don't you dislike such a small store?"
"I remember you said that all the delicious food is in the deep alleys?"
"That's true, but can a young man like you stand the greasiness of a small shop?"
"As long as my wife likes it, it doesn't matter to me."
The waiter brought the menu, and Mu Yu was about to nod when he suddenly realized that Bian Zijun was not there, and suddenly felt a little strange: "Where did Zijun go?"
You must know that whenever Bian Zijun comes out with Qin Jinhuan, he is always within five meters of Qin Jinhuan.
"he… "
"ah"
A scream outside the store interrupted Qin Jinhuan's words.
