Chapter 301 She is just pretending!
"Did I understand it wrong?"

"Jiao Yan is only two years older than me. Logically speaking, we are of the same generation."

"I can't buy my teacher's works. Where did she buy them?"

"If she didn't buy it, did she get it from someone, or was it a gift from someone?"

Doubts began to fill Chen Xiao's mind.

But he knew very well that "Before and After" was just one of the books on the desk.

This book is special in Chen Xiao's heart just because it was written by Wang Dahe.

At this moment, Chen Xiao couldn't help but wonder if he had too many doubts and wanted to doubt everything?
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Xiao put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind and continued to talk about the work with Wang Dahe.

"From what the teacher said, you must have put a lot of effort into this work, right?"

Wang Dahe nodded sheepishly: "It took a lot of hard work, but for me personally, it is naturally a successful work. However, for the book market, I also failed Qin Hao."

Chen Xiao grinned slightly and took the initiative to change the topic.

"By the way, teacher, Wang Jun and I talked a lot yesterday. In fact, it was not easy for him."

Wang Dahe sighed: "I don't know that it's not easy for him. Maybe this is because everyone has their own destiny. He actually works very hard and has been struggling, but his efforts have never been rewarded. There are many times, I I always see him smoking, and after finishing the cigarette, he just puts it out without caring about the heat of the fireworks."

"I know he has encountered a lot of things and been bullied a lot, but as a father, I am often not as good at comforting people as he is."

Chen Xiao put his palm on Wang Dahe's shoulder and patted it gently:
"For him, he may not need your comfort. It would be better if you acknowledge him more."

Wang Dahe turned back, his eyes full of relief and said: "I haven't seen you for two years, you have changed a lot, and I can feel that you seem to understand other people's hearts very well. Is this a required course for detectives like you?"

"That's right." Chen Xiao smiled.

Wang Dahe didn't ask any more questions.

Not long after, Wang Juan also came over, holding a lot of medicine prescribed by the doctor in his hand.

Since they came with the medicine, it meant they had to go back.

Chen Xiao can’t be bothered.

But I was still a little disappointed inside.

He originally thought that the book "Before and After" would bring him great inspiration, but now it was much worse than expected.

Wang Jun pushed the wheelchair Wang Dahe was sitting on, but Wang Dahe still said:
"Chen Xiao, you just asked me about that book. Are there any questions you haven't asked yet?"

Chen Xiao thought for a while and asked: "Teacher, when you wrote the book "People Before and After", did you target your own readers?"

"I didn't think about it that much when I wrote it, but later I thought that the people who bought my book should have been touched by a certain character in the book."

Chen Xiao nodded; "In the opinion of the teacher, which of the characters in your book is the most touching?"

Wang Dahe thought about it.

But as time went on, he became embarrassed.

"I don't know if it's because I haven't paid enough attention to it, or because it's been too long. I just recalled it and I can't remember how many characters there are. Only the prototypes are the only ones that I have such an impression of now."

When Wang Dahe said this, Chen Xiao naturally stopped asking further questions.

Maybe it was just like what Wang Dahe said, it took too long.

Chen Xiao watched them leave.

After the people left, Chen Xiao also got in the car.

While driving back to the criminal police team, Chen Xiao was still thinking about where Jiao Yan obtained the book. Was it a gift from someone else?
Or did you get it from someone else?
No matter what channel, Chen Xiao wants to find him.

Thinking about it, Chen Xiao drove in a direction away from the criminal police team at a fork in the road.

He wanted to meet Jiao Yan's biological mother.

More than ten minutes later, Chen Xiao stopped in a village on the edge of the county town.

After some research, Chen Xiao found Jiao Yan's biological mother, Si Ru.

When he knew Si Ru's name, Chen Xiao also thought of one person in his heart, that was Si Ying from the Yanzi Lane Fish Bone Case.

This was the second time Chen Xiao encountered this surname.

After Chen Xiao explained his purpose, Si Ru became irritable.

"What on earth do you police want to do? I don't know how many times I have dealt with this, and there is no end yet!"

Chen Xiao was not surprised by Si Ru's reaction.

Because in terms of understanding, Si Ru's reputation is not as good as that of Wei Rong, who came from behind.

According to relatives of the Jiao family, Si Ru was not a good woman.

Because she sucks at gambling.

Regardless of whether men or women are bad gamblers, their conscience will be eroded as their gambling age and stakes increase.

A bad gambler, his or her world only consists of winning and losing, and nothing else.

Chen Xiao looked at Si Ru's impatient look and said with a smile, "Do you have any cards at home? Let's chat while we play?"

She is extremely disgusted with the gambler Chen Xiao.

It was because he grabbed Luo Dali several times that Qiao Ye, who ran a gambling business in Phoenix Street, hated him deeply.

But facing a gambler who was so impatient even after her daughter died, Chen Xiao felt that the way to communicate with her was better than opening a bet.

But Si Ru was still wary.

"I'm not a fool. You are a consultant to the police. Isn't playing cards with you suspected of gambling? You can ask directly. Anyway, I will definitely tell you what I know."

Chen Xiao was a little surprised, so he went straight to the point:
"Okay... what I want to ask is, does your daughter Jiao Yan like reading?"

"She's looking at it...she's not looking at it, she's just pretending to show it to me."

"Pack?"

"Yes, their whole family hates me, even the flesh that falls off my body. But before the divorce, I was the most sober person in the family. Jiao Guoxuan is a rotten person. The longer we get along, the more we will know. But, I don’t know why Xiaoyan always pretends to be a good girl in front of that bad guy.”

"Later, I gradually discovered that she and I were indeed not of the same mind, so I became cold-hearted and never cared about her again."

Having said this, Si Ru lowered his head and his shoulders twitched from time to time.

"When her father and I divorced, I asked her if she wanted to follow me. Yes, I admit that I am a bad gambler, but if she follows me, can I leave her eating and drinking? Even if her life is not easy, That’s better than losing your life!”

Chen Xiao did not answer Si Ru's words, but continued to ask her questions.

"In your impression, which friends does she have that are good friends? Which friends are very familiar with the affairs of the Jiao family, and even often visited the Jiao family before? In addition, when Qiao Zhiyuan and Jiao Guoxuan quarreled before, did she talk to Jiao Guoxuan? Is there someone familiar to Yan?"

Chen Xiao asked, and Si Ru thought about it silently.

After just thinking for a while, Si Ru raised his head and said to Chen Xiao, "The person you asked about is Qiao Zhiyuan!"
