Mu Yu got out of the car and walked quickly towards the woman on the roadside.
"Eh? Are you..."
"Hiss!" The woman was unexpectedly startled. She instinctively took two steps back and stared at Mu Yu warily.
"Gong Lilan?"
Mu Yu and Gong Lilan met once in Yangcheng, but because they didn't know it was Gong Lilan beforehand, they didn't have a deep impression at the time. However, I saw her several times in photos later, but I still can't be sure. , so the tone is questioning.
Gong Lilan didn't respond. After staring at her for a few seconds, she suddenly turned around and ran away.
"Eh? Don't run away! I'm not evil..."
Gong Lilan, who had only run a few meters, suddenly turned around and stared at Mu Yu again.
"Don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm, I just want to say hello to you." Mu Yu slowly took two steps back, smiling dryly and keeping his distance from her.
"Are you... a policeman?"
"...Hmm," Mu Yu, who was too lazy to explain, responded vaguely, and then asked, "Didn't you just go back to Hwaseong? Why are you here in Anseong again?"
"I didn't go back to Hwaseong, I was always in Anseong."
"Oh? You never went back? Then who is helping you take care of Duoduo?"
Duoduo is the nickname of Gong Lilan's daughter Gong Jiayi.
"Duoduo lives at her uncle's house." Mu Yu directly called out her daughter's nickname, which surprised Gong Lilan.
"Oh. Did you take her back to Huacheng to go to school?"
Gong Lilan nodded: "If you want your child to have a future, it's better to send her to a school in a big city."
"Why did you stay in Hwaseong for so long? You don't seem to have any relatives in Hwaseong, right?"
"No relatives. I'm in Huacheng... taking care of Xiaoxiang."
"Nie Xiaoxiang? What happened to her?" Nie Xiaoxiang is Zhao Yongli's second wife. Gong Lilan came to Huacheng to pay homage to Zhao Yongli and stayed at her house. Mu Yu knew this.
"She's been a little unwell recently and can't take care of Xiaobao. Duoduo is taken care of by her uncle and aunt, so I don't need to worry. I'll just stay and take care of Xiaoxiang and my wife." Seeing the surprise in Mu Yu's eyes, Gong Lilan smiled lightly, " No matter what, Xiaobao is Duoduo’s younger brother, not to mention Xiaoxiang is very kind to me, and Xiaobao is also very cute.”
"Oh?" Mu Yu felt that this reason for staying was far-fetched. When Gong Lilan turned her face away, although she was suspicious, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she asked about Nie Xiaoxiang's physical condition.
Although he had a very bad impression of Zhao Yongli, Mu Yu had a fairly good impression of Nie Xiaoxiang.
When Sun Meilan, who was Qingtian's cleaner, died outside in the middle of the night, her son Gan Wulin brought people to make a fuss and demanded huge compensation from Qingtian. If Wen Zeyu hadn't been furious and found someone to interrupt Gan Wulin's Legs, and even threatened Gan Wulin with his life if he took even half a step closer to Qingtian, and he would definitely not disappear.
As Zhao Yongli, Qingtian's department manager, died in the company, Nie Xiaoxiang not only did not come to cry for money, but also took the initiative to tell the police about Zhao Yongli's unconscionable request for money, saying that someone might be seeking revenge, and asked the police to find Zhao Yongli. Wynn has people investigating the holidays. During that time, someone was spreading unfavorable rumors within Qingtian. Nie Xiaoxiang also took the initiative to refute the rumors for Qingtian, saying that Zhao Yongli's death was probably related to his own style and had nothing to do with Qingtian Group.
Later, the police discovered several incidents of Zhao Yongli abusing his power for personal gain. Nie Xiaoxiang took the initiative to hand over all the savings at home to the police, saying that it was all the money Zhao Yongli had brought home over the years, and let the police handle it. Her profound righteousness moved Qingtian people very much. Qin Jinhuan asked the police to return the card to Nie Xiaoxiang, saying that it was not easy for her to be an orphan and a widower. He said that all the vacancies in financial cases related to Zhao Yongli would be filled by Qingtian Group. .
Qin Jinhuan had told Mu Yu about these things, so although Mu Yu had never dealt with Nie Xiaoxiang head-on, he sincerely admired Nie Xiaoxiang. After all, it was very unreasonable for an unemployed woman with a young son to hand over all the family's money. It takes courage, not to mention that the money is not entirely Zhao Yongli’s illegal gains.
"I used to be afraid of poverty. I felt that only money can bring
I feel safe, so I married Wynn, who is so many years older than me, in the hope that he can bring me a relatively wealthy material life. So during the years we were with him, I just asked him for money, but never asked him how he got the money. He never told me about it, and I didn't know anything about Kiki. Now that he died unexpectedly, I realized that money is really not a good thing. There is indeed retribution in the world. I don’t want his dirty money to be repaid to my little treasure, so I handed over all the money. I just hope that my little treasure will be safe and grow up healthily. "
Mu Yu still had the impression that Rong Jian had heard Nie Xiaoxiang's phone recording for her, so when she heard Gong Lilan say that Nie Xiaoxiang was not feeling well, she hurriedly expressed her greetings.
"It doesn't matter, it's just that your body is a little weak, and you'll be fine after you rest for a while. On behalf of Xiaoxiang, I would like to thank you for your concern. Goodbye."
"Hey!" Gong Lilan turned to leave but was stopped by Mu Yu, "I remember that Nie Xiaoxiang's family doesn't seem to live near here. Why are you here today?"
"Well... the weather is pretty good today. After sending Xiaobao to kindergarten, I walked around Ancheng. The scenery is quite good. There are evergreen trees everywhere, and it feels like spring all year round. Hey, it's getting late. I really have to go back. Let’s make lunch. Goodbye.”
"Eh… "
Feeling a twinkle in Gong Lilan's eyes, Mu Yu wanted to ask something else, but Gong Lilan had already trotted onto the bus that had just arrived. She followed after two steps and saw that the bus door was already closed. After closing the door, I had to pause where I was while the bus slowly drove away.
"Hey, don't mention it, the house sales advertisement in Xiangyun Community is really creative!"
"House sales advertisement? Where are the house sales advertisements for Xiangyun Community?" Mu Yu looked back at Huang Bo who was speaking in confusion.
"On the No. 18 bus," Huang Bo explained, pointing to the bus Gong Lilan got on, "all the buses in Ancheng bound for the west of the city are spray-painted with house sales advertisements for Xiangyun Community. Owners who have purchased houses in Xiangyun Community , Ping Xiangyun Community Property Company issued a driving license that allows you to ride on all cars with Xiangyun Community housing sales advertisements spray-painted on them for one year. Isn’t this a good idea to attract customers? "
"strangeness."
"What's weird?" Huang Bo looked at Mu Yu, who was frowning, in surprise.
Mu Yu stared at the direction of bus No. 18: "This bus is bound for the west of the city!"
Huang Bo became more and more puzzled: "Is it strange that this car is bound for the west of the city?"
"Why did Gong Lilan get on the No. 18 bus?"
"She must live in the west of the city, or on the road leading to the west of the city."
"No, she said she lives at Nie Xiaoxiang's house and takes care of Nie Xiaoxiang, but Nie Xiaoxiang lives in Xialuo, south of the city. From here to Xialuo, south of the city, you should take bus No. 21!"
"Maybe Nie Xiaoxiang moved?"
Feeling that this was possible, Mu Yu immediately called Rong Jian to confirm the matter.
"I went to her home about ten days ago to look for her in Xialuo, and I didn't hear her say anything about moving. The bilingual kindergarten behind her community is the best kindergarten besides the most aristocratic kindergarten in Anseong. Many people are crowded with them. There is no way for her children to go to kindergarten. Nie Xiaoxiang attaches great importance to her children's preschool education. As far as I know, Zhao Yongli spent a lot of time when her little baby entered this kindergarten. It stands to reason that Nie Xiaoxiang would not change the kindergarten for her little baby. If not, If she changes kindergarten, she shouldn't have to move far away to live in the west of the city. It would be very troublesome to accept it. "
After hearing what Rong Jian said, Mu Yu told him about meeting Gong Lilan near the work unit, and finally told him his questions: "Gong Lilan said that he would go back and cook for Nie Xiaoxiang. Nie Xiaoxiang lives in the south of the city. She But I got on the No. 18 bus bound for the west of the city. This is wrong! "
"Maybe she was unfamiliar with the place and got into the wrong car?"
Mu Yu was stunned: "It is possible, but why do I always feel that she hurriedly got on the No. 18 bus because she didn't want to chat with me anymore? I always felt that her eyes were twinkling. In addition, I felt that she stayed in Huacheng The reason is not very good, and I always feel that something is wrong.”
"Gong Lilan and I
After chatting, she has always been afraid of dealing with the police. She probably thought you were a police officer, so she was also afraid of you, right? "Rong Jian didn't seem surprised by Gong Lilan's behavior. Apparently Gong Lilan had the same look when he was dealing with Gong Lilan. He added, "As far as I know, after she got in touch with Nie Xiaoxiang, the relationship between the two was quite good. , maybe it’s sympathy. Nie Xiaoxiang's health was indeed not very good, and Xiaobao was still young. Nie Xiaoxiang was ill, so it made sense for Gong Lilan to stay and take care of her for a few days. "
"Okay, maybe I'm just trying to make up my mind again."
"Sister-in-law, I don't mean to accuse you, I..."
"I know, no need to explain. That's it for now. I'll contact you if anything happens. Goodbye."
After Mu Yu hung up the phone gloomily, he looked in the direction where bus No. 18 left for a while before getting on Huang Bo's car.
Huang Bo's car had just started. An idea suddenly came to her mind. She straightened her waist and shouted "Hey" loudly in front of her. Huang Bo was so shocked that he immediately stepped on the brakes.
"Young lady, you..."
"Did you notice the direction Gong Lilan's eyes were looking when he started standing here in a daze?"
"Where are her eyes looking?" Huang Bo thought for a moment and shook his head, "I didn't pay attention."
"The driving recorder of your car should have captured her standing on the side of the road just now, right?"
Huang Bo immediately glanced at where Gong Lilan was standing, then looked at the front of the car, and then nodded: "It can capture the whole body, but if you want to see her eyes, it won't be very clear."
"You don't have to see clearly, you just need to be able to see the general direction of her eyes."
"You should be able to see this clearly." Huang Bo immediately went to get his mobile phone to check the car's driving recorder and put his mobile phone next to him.
"Her face is indeed facing the direction of the city bureau!" Not long after, Mu Yu confirmed his guess from Huang Bo's mobile phone.
"Why is she standing here looking at the city bureau in a daze?"
"I don't know, I always feel like something is wrong."
"You mean her staying in Ancheng?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, I just feel something is wrong." Mu Yu secretly thought for a while before continuing, "In the past six years, Gong Lilan and Duoduo have been dependent on each other and never dared to let Duoduo leave her sight for a long time. Why now? Why is she willing to leave Duoduo to live with her uncle and aunt whom she hasn't contacted for many years, and then go to Ancheng to take care of two people who have nothing to do with her for so many days? She doesn't have any obligation or responsibility to take care of Nie Xiaoxiang and her son, right? What's more, she said so herself? Nie Xiaoxiang's problem is just a small one, not that important. If it's really just a small problem, is it necessary for her to stay so enthusiastically regardless of her daughter? "
"Perhaps it's because Yin Xiaotian has been arrested and she no longer has to worry about her and her daughter's lives being threatened, so she feels relieved to foster her daughter in her uncle's house?" Seeing that Mu Yu didn't respond, Huang Bo asked in a low voice, " Then, what do you think her purpose is in staying in Ancheng? "
Mu Yu did not answer his words, but lowered his head and thought for a while before ordering him to do something: "First, confirm whether Nie Xiaoxiang has moved; second, check whether Nie Xiaoxiang is really uncomfortable, what is his condition, and when did he start to get sick? Gong Lilan had delayed her return to Huacheng because of her unexpected illness. Let's see if she didn't leave later because of Nie Xiaoxiang's illness. Then check who Gong Lilan had come into contact with after coming to Ancheng. She said before. She came to Anseong to pay homage to Zhao Yongli, and later said that she wanted to inquire about the arrest of the serial murderer. The most important thing was that she had fulfilled her wish. Logically speaking, she should go back to Hwaseong to take care of her daughter in peace. She is not leaving now. He is still wandering around our city bureau, and he just spoke to me in a shaky manner, so there must be something he is hiding from us. I must find out.”
"Okay. I'll ask my little brother to check right away. You get in the car, and I'll take you to Wanjia first."
"good."
Mu Yu immediately sat upright and was waiting for Huang Bo to start the car when he heard Huang Bo slam the steering wheel and yell: "It's broken! I can't go!"
