Peach Blossom Shop

Chapter 112 I Want You

Bai Le raised his eyebrows, "I can do whatever I want?"

Lin Manlu nodded, "Well, as long as I can give it, I will do it."

Bai Le stared at Lin Manlu firmly for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Then I want you..."

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Zeyu, who had lowered his head, suddenly turned his face and looked at Bai Le with cold eyes.

Bai Le smiled, and continued, "...Give me two jars of the peach blossom wine in the shop!"

Lin Manlu smiled and nodded, "No problem, I'll ask Xiaosheng to bring it to you later, and I'll leave the rest to you!"

Bai Le nodded with a smile, and raised an eyebrow at Zhang Zeyu.

The coldness in Zhang Zeyu's eyes faded, he glanced at him helplessly, looked away, patted Lin Manlu, "It's wrapped."

Lin Manlu looked down, helped Zhang Zeyu's shoulders to stand up, and said to Bai Le, "Bai Le, Yuyu and I have other things to do, so let's go first!"

Bai Le nodded, didn't speak, and waved to Lin Manlu.

Lin Manlu turned around, jumped down the steps of the bookstore, then stood in the alley and turned to look at Bai Le who was still leaning on the threshold, and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

Bai Le looked at her, smiled and nodded.

Afterwards, Lin Manlu pulled Zhang Zeyu with satisfaction and walked out of Peach Blossom Alley.

Bai Le watched Lin Manlu leave, then shook his head, turned around and went back to the shop.

Outside the alley, Zhang Zeyu supported Lin Manlu, looked back at the place where Bai Le was standing before with complicated eyes, and frowned.

……

Lin Manlu and Zhang Zeyu arrived outside their own community in a short while, saw many police cars parked outside the community, looked at each other in surprise, walked a few steps, and came to the door of the security room.

There was only one uncle in the security room who was guarding the door. Lin Manlu walked over, knocked on the open door, and called out, "Uncle Liu."

The uncle turned back, "Oh, are you two back?"

Lin Manlu nodded, "Well, Uncle Liu, why are you alone in the security room? Where are the others?"

"Help the police outside to maintain order." Uncle Liu glanced at the monitor again, then stood up, walked to the side of the two, looked out from the door, and then lowered his voice, "It's terrible, you guys That building, someone died!"

Lin Manlu's eyes widened, "Dead? Or in our building?"

"Yeah!" Uncle Liu also had a scorched face, nodded, pulled the two into the security room, and said, "Isn't that right! He died at the entrance of the corridor on the fifth floor, and your parents haven't come back yet." Right? Are there any relatives in City H? Don’t go home now, there is such a big mess, people come and go and the ground is chaotic, it’s not safe for you two children to be alone at home.”

Lin Manlu looked back at Zhang Zeyu, then turned her head and smiled at Uncle Liu, nodded, "Well, thank you Uncle Liu, let's go home and get homework for the summer vacation."

Uncle Liu nodded quickly, "Okay, be obedient! It's best to call your parents back. Alas, I have been earning money outside all year round, leaving my children at home, and I don't know what's going on. These parents are really..."

"Uncle Liu, when did that man die?" Zhang Zeyu suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu stroked his chin and took a deep breath, looked outside again, and then said with some surprise, "I didn't go anywhere when I got off the night shift last night. It was Xiao Li who was on duty last night. He was on duty at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning. I took a nap at that time, and when I woke up, I saw the dead man on the monitor, and I was too scared to die."

Uncle Liu was a bit wordy, but there were a lot of clues in the babble.

"What about the security guard?" Lin Manlu adjusted his glasses and asked.

Uncle Liu frowned, "You two children, don't ask so many questions. Xiao Li was taken away by the police for questioning. You two should pack up and go to a relative's house to stay for two days. Be good, be good!"

Lin Manlu looked back at Zhang Zeyu again, Zhang Zeyu shook his head at her, Lin Manlu smiled at Uncle Liu, "Well, thank you Uncle Liu, let's go!"

"Oh, good, good! Slow down!" Uncle Liu stared at the monitor, and took the time to wave to the two of them.

When Zhang Zeyu was about to leave, he glanced at the monitor, and suddenly raised his eyebrows - he saw two familiar people on the monitor.

Afterwards, the two were stopped by the police in front of the unit building, "This building is now blocked, and you can't go up for the time being. Are you residents in this building?" The police officer who stopped them was quite polite.

"Well, we are residents of 2003, why aren't we allowed in?" Lin Manlu pulled Zhang Zeyu and asked knowingly.

The policeman looked at her, not too wary of a little girl who looked like a high school student, and said, "A murder has occurred in the building, and now we are conducting on-site investigation. The scene of the crime is being investigated, so we have to temporarily block it."

Lin Manlu looked shocked, "Murder case, someone died in our building?"

The police officer nodded, "Well, the residents on the fifth floor of the building..."

"Xiao Song!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from the unit building behind the policeman.

Lin Manlu followed the sound and was taken aback for a moment, "Officer Li?"

Li Guangquan who came out of the building was also a little surprised, "Student Lin? Classmate Zhang? Why are you here?" After speaking, he lifted the cordon and got out, followed by another person.

"Oh, we live..." Before Lin Manlu finished speaking, he felt Zhang Zeyu holding his hand and tightening it suddenly.Lin Manlu looked up at him, and saw him looking at the people behind Li Guang with frosty eyes.

Lin Manlu turned her head and glanced at the person behind Li Guang's body, then subconsciously frowned——Wang Shihua?

"Student Lin?" Wang Shihua was really surprised, "What a coincidence! Why are you here too?"

Li Guangquan was surprised, "Do you know each other?"

Wang Shihua smiled softly, "Yes, captain, when I was in the civil affairs department, I happened to have a small case and met classmate Lin."

Lin Manlu frowned slightly again—this Wang Shihua seemed to deliberately not mention what he had entrusted to him.

"What a coincidence, are the two police officers here to handle the case?" Zhang Zeyu pulled Lin Manlu behind him, took a step forward, and said.

"Yeah! By the way, why did you come here? I remember your store... ahem," Li Guangquan thought of Wang Shihua still standing behind him, "You seem to live not far from here, right?"

Zhang Zeyu nodded with a smile, and before he could answer, Wang Shihua interrupted, "Yes, Captain, when I met Lin, I was near here, so I should live not far from here!"

Zhang Zeyu looked at him, his face remained calm, but his eyes were even colder—this Wang Shihua, is he deliberately covering up his identity for Lulu?Did he know something?
But Wang Shihua didn't know that Li Guangquan knew far more about the two children, a boy and a girl, than he guessed.

Li Guangquan nodded, just in time to see a police officer from the forensic office coming out of the building carrying a box, and said, "Xiao Wang, go and see with the colleagues in the forensic office, and ask if you have found any clues."

Wang Shihua seemed to frowned, and looked at Lin Manlu, who seemed a little unwilling.

"Go!" Li Guangquan urged again.

"I'll go right away," Wang Shihua replied, and looked at Lin Manlu again, "Well, student Lin, can I take a step to talk?"

Lin Manlu looked up, looked at him, then looked at Zhang Zeyu and Li Guangquan, and saw Zhang Zeyu and Li Guangquan frowning, thought for a while, nodded, "OK."

Zhang Zeyu held Lin Man's hand tightly, and then slowly released it. After glancing at her, Lin Manlu raised his head and smiled at him.

Afterwards, the two walked to the green belt of the community. Lin Manlu stood under the shade of a tree and asked, "Does Officer Wang have anything to say?"
