"I originally planned to visit you with my friend. Why, how can you have the nerve to ask Mr. Li to come in person?"

"It's okay. I happen to have time now, and there's something I want to know about."

Behind him, Yang Xueer had disappeared. Li Gui was slightly confused, and after asking for the addresses of the two people over there, he hung up the phone.

Yang Xueer's mother also lives in Jiulin City, which is not far from here and will not be long away.

When he heard Yang Xueer's mother's words just now, he noticed a very subtle point.

Chapter 119 Army

When Yang's mother introduces her lover, she uses "my other one" or "the one in my family" to describe her.

Li Gui didn't know if this had something to do with Yang Xueer's family, but he probably had an unwritten guess in his mind.

"Xue'er, I'm going to see your mother. Can I take you with me?"

no answer.

Yang Xueer, who always liked talking to herself and jumping up and down, seemed to have something hidden. Just after hearing her mother's voice, she disappeared directly, as if she was back in the notebook again.

"Sigh... Anyway, let's go and take a look first."

I don’t know whether to tell Yang Xueer or myself.

After Li Gui tidied up his clothes, he took his notebook and mobile phone and left the house.

Outside the apartment, the sun is shining brightly.

It was close to noon, and the sky was so bright that it made him feel like he was in another world when he stepped out.

Ever since he came into contact with that strange red notebook, his routine seemed to have been completely turned upside down.

I don't know how long it has been since I bathed in the sun so happily.

"If this time lasts long enough, maybe we can go to the vicinity of Miran's hometown to investigate first."

The person who muttered to himself that he had never forgotten his goal when he first came to Jiulin City, looked at the sun and felt melancholy for a moment, and then immediately left the gate of the community.

After all, I was going to meet my elders. Although I didn’t have much money, it was better to bring something with me.

Time moves forward, an hour later.

Jiulin City, inside an old apartment in Muhu District.

There are only two entrances to residents on each floor, and the eighth floor is where the stairs turn over.

A tall man with a slightly pale face, carrying some fruit and milk, suddenly appeared, standing in the aisle, in the sight of the two policemen.

"801, right here."

"Comrade, what's the matter with you?"

Walking over a little unsure, Li Gui looked at the house number posted on the wall under the gaze of the two policemen, a little confused.

"Hello, I'm here to see Yang Xueer's parents. Do they live here?"

"Oh, yes, just go in. We are just responsible for investigating some things. Sorry to bother you."

"fine."

He smiled kindly at one of the policemen.

Li Gui walked to the door and did not go in immediately. Instead, he poked his head inside and looked inside.

The layout of the house is very simple.

Entering from the door, there is a small living room on the left, with only some simple furniture on the cement floor.

Looking inside, we can see the kitchen filled with pots and pans.

There seemed to be a bedroom with a closed door on the side of the kitchen, and opposite the doorway where he stood was a simple bathroom.

At this time, there was a policeman in uniform sitting around the table in the living room, and next to him stood a woman with red eyes and an apron.

Sitting opposite the policeman was a middle-aged man with a somewhat honest face and a weather-beaten face.

The two seemed to be talking about something. The middle-aged man nodded from time to time and smiled cautiously.

Due to his line of sight, Li Gui couldn't see what the policeman looked like. He could only vaguely see a dark black urn in front of him and tea brewed in a disposable cup next to it.

"Yes, is it Mr. Li Gui?"

Just when Li Gui was wondering why the police from Jiulin City also came, the woman standing next to the table finally spotted him.

"Um, hello auntie, I just called you, I didn't expect to disturb you."

After placing some of the gifts he bought at the door, Li Gui walked in with some restraint.

When he was with Monan, he had never met his mother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, it was such a strange feeling.

"Mr. Li, we are obviously thanking you, why, why do we still ask you to spend money?"

However, compared to Li Gui, the woman appeared more embarrassed.

After seeing some simple gifts he brought, she quickly found a stool, wiped them with her apron, and then urged the middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life who had completed the investigation.

"Old Liu, go get a glass of water quickly, don't be stunned."

"Oh, oh, good, good."

Looking at Li Gui, he hurriedly nodded his head honestly, and the middle-aged man named Lao Liu also hurriedly walked to the kitchen.

"Mr. Li, sit down. The place is a little small. Don't worry about it."

"It's okay, aunt, no need to be so polite."

Wei Wei feels a little uncomfortable. Originally, these two should be his elders in terms of age and seniority.

As a result, he was so respectful now, which made Li Gui feel a little embarrassed.

"You are Li Gui, right? I heard Lao Zhao talking about you."

"Um, hello, officer."

As soon as he sat down, the policeman who was initially investigating in the house looked at him with great admiration.

Only then did Li Gui see his appearance clearly.

He is about 40 years old, with a tough face and a bit of stubble.

The hair under the police cap is slightly gray. Judging from the badge on the shoulder, the rank should be high.

But he didn't know these, and he didn't know what level they were specifically.

"Don't be so formal. Although I am a policeman, I still have a long face. My name is Lu Ming. They usually call me Lu at the police station. You can just call me Uncle Lu."

The middle-aged policeman named Lu Ming had no airs about him. After arranging Li Gui's arms familiarly, he nodded with satisfaction.

"The body is indeed in good shape. No wonder he was able to subdue the murderer directly."

"It's just a mistake. I still have to rely on you to be professional."

Although the incident at Yongmian Apartment happened in Shangyang County, the two areas were very close to each other, and it was normal for the police in Jiulin City to know what he did.

And judging from what he just said, it is obvious that this Lu Jun has an acquaintance in Shangyang County, so Li Gui has no doubts that he knows him.

"I heard that you rejected the government's medal of honor from Shangyang. You young man is not interested in fame and fortune, so that's fine."

Lu Lie seemed to appreciate him very much, patting him on the shoulder as he spoke.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just rejected the banner."

He was embarrassed to say that he asked the police about the bonus. When Li Gui faced this army, he always felt like he was chatting with the class teacher when he was a child.

"Don't be modest. Your name is familiar to some policemen in Jiulin City. I was originally here to handle some follow-up investigations of Yang Xueer's case today, but I heard that you are coming, and I have something to tell you by the way. "

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Hearing this, Li Gui was slightly curious.

The old policeman named Lu Ming was about to speak, but when he saw Mother Yang standing next to the table, he immediately smiled awkwardly.

"Let's talk later, I'll wait for you outside."

"It's okay, Officer Lu, you guys talk, we, we have nothing to do, I just want to thank Mr. Li, otherwise, otherwise Xue'er might..."

Unable to hold back his tears, Lao Liu, who was also standing next to him, quickly pulled out some paper and handed it over.

1 Chapter [-]: Telling is not for understanding

"It's okay, let's express our condolences. Our police are also here to assure you two that the murderer will be severely punished. Please rest assured."

"Well, well, we believe in the law and we believe in the police."

Mother Yang sobbed and nodded, and Captain Lu also stood up.

"Then Li Gui, you guys chat, I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay, Uncle Lu."

After the policeman named Lu Ming left, the entire living room became quiet again.

During the journey, only Yang's mother kept wiping her tears with tissue paper and sobbing slightly. Old Liu looked at him at a loss.

"Um, Mr. Li, you, you drink water."

"Oh, oh, okay, thank you uncle."

It can be seen that the sadness on Lao Liu's face is not as strong as that of Yang's mother.

Li Gui also roughly confirmed what he had in mind at the beginning.

"Sorry, Mr. Li, I made you laugh."

After a few minutes, Mother Yang slowly calmed down.

"It's okay, I just helped a little bit."

After taking a sip of water, Li Gui looked at the urn of Yang Xueer's ashes placed on the table and felt a little strange.

Suddenly there was a bang from the side.

Mother Yang did not sit down, but knelt down directly on the spot facing him.

"Hey, Auntie, what are you doing!?"

Mother Yang was shocked by this action.

Li Gui quickly stood up and tried to pull her up, but before he could get closer, the tired-looking woman kept kowtowing to him to thank him.

"Mr. Li, thank you, thank you. We have actually made preparations for Xueer's matter a long time ago. Lao Liu and I also went to many places to look for her... Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you, At least, I can at least let Xue'er go home and see her after she dies, and let Xue'er be buried, thank you, thank you."

Mother Yang kept kowtowing, and the heavy sound came from the concrete floor, making Li Gui a little at a loss.

Beside him, Yang Xueer also came out at some unknown time.

He stood next to him, looking at his mother who kept kowtowing.

His expression was somewhat depressed that could not be concealed.

"Auntie, get up quickly. You're hurting me by doing this. Get up, get up. If you don't get up, I'll leave."

"Yes, Luo Hui, you should get up first."

Old Liu next to him also quickly helped his wife up.

And there is already a big or small public opinion on Yang's mother's head.

"Uncle, please give Auntie an ice pack to apply on her first."

"Eh, okay."

Nodding honestly, Lao Liu hurriedly walked to the kitchen.

There were tears on her face that could not be wiped off. Mother Yang was emotional and pale. She looked at her daughter's urn on the table and placed it on it with slightly trembling palms.

"Ever since I divorced Xue'er's father and lived with Lao Liu... Xue'er rarely talks to me, and she has returned all the money I usually give her... ..I know that Xueer still blames me for abandoning her and her father...I think that maybe, maybe Xueer can understand me in the future...call me mom again, But...but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen..."
