Things have to start recently.
Before Ling Shu followed Yue Dingtang to the Northeast, he was away from home for three days.
But Ling Yao noticed something was wrong.
Zhou Thirty worked in the city government, and the commute time was fixed originally. Within fifteen minutes after Ling Yao served the last dish every day, her husband would definitely open the door.
I do not know from which day, this rule was suddenly broken.
Zhou Thirty began to return late.
Once or twice is fine. He said that there were some things at work, and Ling Yao had no doubts about it, but in the following week, there would always be three, four, five, or six days when he came home late.
Ling Yao became suspicious.
She is not a housewife with three obediences and four virtues. In those days when the Ling family was turbulent, Ling Shu was still young, and she shouldered the burden of the family.
Once, before Zhou Thirty came home, Ling Yao directly pinched the time when he was about to get off work, squatted outside the city hall, waited for about half an hour, and finally waited for Zhou Thirty to come out.
He was alone, walking in a hurry, and he had no colleagues or friends by his side. He walked to the roadside and called a rickshaw, but it went directly to the opposite direction of the house.
Ling Yaoguang ran on two legs, and soon chased the car and lost it.
The second time she had the experience, she also hired a rickshaw to guard the hidden place outside. As soon as Zhou 30 got in the car, she immediately asked the driver to follow him not far or near, until Zhou 30 stopped and settled down and entered a A small house.
The porter seemed to be quite familiar with him, chatting and laughing warmly.
Ling Yao glanced at it, the nearby houses were all such small houses, and there were foreigners coming in and out.
Living in a concession is not unusual, but living next to a foreigner with status is not something ordinary people can do. Either you have to be rich, or you have to know people in the concession.
"At that time, I kept an eye on it and waited across the street. When it was dark, I saw your brother-in-law come out. Guess what I saw? A woman took him out and sent him to the door. The two said goodbye, the woman His expression was quite reluctant."
Having said this, Ling Yao sneered.
"I deliberately hurry up and hurry up to get there before your brother-in-law arrives home. When he comes back, I ask him where he went. Why is it so late? He said that the boss left him for something, and he forgot the time, so it was late."
"I wanted to quarrel with him at that time, but thinking about it, he has treated me well in the past few years, so he endured it. Who knows that he has intensified since then, and the number of times he returned late became more and more frequent. You can also see what happened today. I… "
Ling Yao couldn't bear it any longer, holding the handkerchief and crying.
Ling Shu patted her on the back.
"Sister, you may have wronged your brother-in-law today. I met him at Yue's house and came home with me, no more than two hours apart. If he goes to the concession for a tryst in these two hours, he will have to come back to meet him. , I'm in a hurry, I can't tell the time!"
Ling Yao raised his head sharply: "Then can't they have a tryst in the cafe!"
Ling Shu: "My brother-in-law doesn't look like such a tossing person, does he?"
Ling Yao said angrily, "I knew that men always talk to men!"
Ling Shu was helpless: "Sister, I also think that my brother-in-law must be hiding something from us, let's not say what the woman's origin is, one yard for another, I really don't think it's possible that he ran halfway to a tryst tonight. Think about it, if you were him, he would just walk away from his brother-in-law on the front foot, and then rush to meet other women privately on the back foot. He doesn't have a car, so he would call a rickshaw at most, not to mention the distance to and fro, he could have a tryst in the middle. It's less than half an hour, can I say a few words, and it's too hot to drink coffee? I see that he was very hungry just now, and he clearly came back without dinner. "
Ling Yao: "Then tell me, where did he go after he left you?"
Ling Shu: "Didn't you ask brother-in-law, what did he say?"
Ling Yao: "He said that he saw someone fainted on the road, so he went to help them, and even settled them in a roadside teahouse, and only came back after seeing that they were all right."
Ling Shu smiled and said, "This is like my brother-in-law's style."
"You're still laughing! You can still laugh!" Ling Yao was so angry that he beat the bed, "Is it easy for me to work so hard to support this family! Your brother-in-law always wants me to have a child, don't I want to have one? I Thinking of how good he treats me, I also want to leave it for the Zhou family, but, after seeing so many doctors, my belly just doesn't move, what can I do! Go and find the little goblin!"
The more she talked, the more she felt that the sadness was coming from it, from anger to sadness, tears flowed down again.
"I know that he still cares. He must think that I usually manage him strictly and fiercely, so he went outside to find those gentle and careless women. I have heard that his immediate boss is the one. Director Lou, he has two raised outside, and his wife clearly knows, but she still pretends not to know... I didn't expect that your brother-in-law is not yet developed, and he has begun to become such a person! "
"Little brother, what should I do? If he really has a woman outside, what should I do?"
"Sister, sister, don't worry, if my brother-in-law really does something wrong, I will definitely not forgive him, the big deal is divorce, I will support you!"
Hearing Ling Shu's words, Ling Yao didn't see joy, but shook his head.
"Divorce, do you hear that a good woman will get divorced? Isn't this abandoned in ancient times? My reputation is not good, how will you find a daughter-in-law in the future?"
Ling Shu sighed: "This was not called being divorced in ancient times, it should be reconciliation. Also, sister, now is a new era, we don't pay attention to those stereotypes! Now there are many divorces in the streets. A few years ago, Even the emperor has been dismissed. Miss Sheng's family is arguing with a few older brothers for inheritance, isn't it all over the world? Fighting for her own legal rights, what's so embarrassing, if my future wife is because of this If you look down on us, what's the use of this marriage?"
Ling Yao sobbed: "You said it as if he really had someone outside!"
Ling Shu: …
"I'm not going to tell you about the worst outcome first. The worst is nothing but divorce. What's there to worry about? Besides, you and your brother-in-law have been married for a few years, so you should know something about him. Maybe that woman owes him something. Money, or maybe what his boss asked him to look for, it's pointless to speculate here without asking clearly."
Ling Yao: "I don't dare to ask, I'm afraid to ask, it's a consequence I can't bear."
Ling Shu stood up.
"Then I'll ask!"
Ling Yao hurriedly grabbed him.
"Don't ask, what if he admits it? What if, in case, we wronged him? Don't look at your brother-in-law's good-natured attitude. If you know that I doubt him like this, you will definitely be angry!"
"Then what do you think?" Ling Shu twitched the corners of his mouth, not being able to take this sister.
Ling Yao thought for a while: "Go and investigate secretly."
"I?"
Ling Shu pointed to himself, he didn't expect that the calamity would eventually be led to him.
Ling Yao: "Yes, haven't you solved a big case, and now you are working at the police station again, just in time, you quietly check, don't let your brother-in-law find out, find out the identity of the woman, and also, check your brother-in-law with What the hell is wrong with her!"
Ling Shu smiled bitterly: "Sister, I'm just a little policeman, I don't have any power in my hands, and I can't investigate anything. Besides, can those cases be compared with my brother-in-law's affairs? At best, this is—"
Before he could say the word about family affairs, Ling Yao stared at him and wanted to cry.
Ling Shu raised his hands in surrender.
"I checked."
How to check
Where to start looking
this is a problem.
Three days later, Ling Shu discovered that this might be a more difficult problem than Zhen Congyun.
At the same time, Yue Dingtang also discovered that Ling Shu was acting strangely.
