After coming out of Widow's Street, Murong Shui drove all the way to the Mobei Funeral Home.
After getting off the car, the two went straight to the wake room and saw the crying children from a distance.
Although the Adoption Office under the Civil Affairs Bureau has sent a new orphanage director to take care of the children, the new director is obviously inexperienced. He is holding the youngest child on his body and holding a young child in his hand.
The children who had learned to walk scrambled to comfort the older children, but the scene was still chaotic.
When Murong Shui saw this scene, he couldn't help but worry and said: "I hope Brother Liangshan will never have any problems. I don't want Xiaoyue to be sent back here again without anyone taking care of her in the future."
Xu Tiannan: "You are thinking too much. Xiaoyue is a golden egg now. With the family property she inherited from her father and Liu Jianren, people who want to adopt her will probably have to queue up from here to Beiyang Mountain. But will these people be sincere?
Being good to her can only be an unknown."
Hearing this, Murong Shui seemed a little frustrated, and said out of nowhere: "Anyway, except Brother Liangshan, I will never allow those people to covet Xiaoyue's family property. If it comes to that,
, why don’t we work together and take care of this girl personally from now on!”
Xu Tiannan almost choked, and after a while he said: "Are you out of your mind?"
"What's wrong! What I said was true!"
Xu Tiannan: "Do you think that if you go to the court to apply, people will award Xiaoyue to you?"
"What if?"
Xu Tiannan: "First of all, you must have a legitimate job and a stable source of income. You must prove that you are capable of raising other people's children well."
"Ah? Is it so troublesome?"
Murong Shui seemed a little disappointed, but Xu Tiannan then said: "Unless..."
Murong Shui raised his head and asked stupidly: "Unless what?"
"Well……"
Xu Tiannan hesitated for a while and whispered: "Unless both husband and wife jointly submit an application to the court..."
Upon hearing this, Murong Shui's face turned red, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Oh...that's it, what should we do..."
The two stood there awkwardly for a while, but Murong Shui changed the topic first and said: "Okay! Okay! We'll talk about Xiaoyue's problem later. Let's solve the immediate matter first, but boss, I'll see Liangshan later.
Brother, from now on, you must not speak too bluntly and make others angry! Otherwise, you won’t even be friends!"
Xu Tiannan took a long breath and nodded: "I understand this. After all, everything we have now is just speculation. I don't want to end badly because of this matter. I will pay attention to it later."
While they were talking, the two of them had arrived outside the mourning hall, but after searching around, they could not find Chen Liangshan and Liu Xiaoyue.
"Who are you looking for?"
An acquaintance wearing black clothes holding an account book in his hand walked out of the room after seeing the two of them, and asked: "Are you two here to express condolences?"
"No...we are here to find..."
Before Murong Shui finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Tiannan: "Yes! We used to be neighbors of Pozi Po. I heard that she will have a funeral tomorrow, so I came here today to see her off on her last journey."
"I'm interested, you two."
After saluting, the guest in black took the two hundred yuan from Xu Tiannan and handed over the gift ledger.
"Boss..."
Murong Shui whispered: "Just ask, why are you spending so much money!"
Xu Tiannan did not respond, but took a quick glance, his expression suddenly dropped, and he said in a deep voice: "This guy is indeed here!"
Murong Shui asked in confusion: "Who? Who are you talking about?"
Looking along the name pointed at by the other party, Murong Shui found that at the top of the gift ledger, around 9 o'clock this morning, there was a name that caught her attention - Lin Aji.
"I'm going! Why is this mistress here too!"
Murong Shui also looked a little unhappy and said: "This girl pesters Brother Liangshan every day, she must have no good intentions! One day we have to give her a lesson when we get the chance!"
"Okay, let's talk about it later."
After Xu Tiannan handed the gift book back to his friend, he pulled up a photo from his mobile phone of the last time he had dinner with Chen Liangshan, and asked: "Sir, where has this person gone?"
The other person held his small round glasses and looked at it for a while, then suddenly realized: "Oh! Does this man have a teenage girl? I have an impression of him!"
"Yes, that's him!"
The black-clothed Zhibin said with a sullen look on his face: "I'm so angry when I talk about this! Today is the day for the vigil of the old woman Tou Qi. I don't know if this man didn't understand or did it on purpose. He even dressed up the girl.
You are so arrogant, do you think this is a place? Is there any dignity at all?"
"this……"
Xu Tiannan was stunned, and immediately remembered that afternoon, when Murong Shui insisted on buying clothes for Xiao Yue and then sent them back to Chen Liangshan. He didn't expect this guy to be so disregardful of the occasion.
At this moment, Murong Shui also smiled awkwardly and urged Zhibin: "Sir, may I ask, where is this man... now?"
"I'm going back! When I came back after 11 o'clock tonight, I took that girl away!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tiannan was immediately surprised and said: "Sir, what do you mean when you say that he will take the girl away when he comes back..."
The black-clothed Zhibin said: "This man left this afternoon and didn't come back until a little while ago. When he came back, the girl was sleepy, so she stayed here for a while and then left early with the child.
"
"He...he left here in the afternoon, right?"
The other party nodded, "Yes, yes! I remember very clearly that he just left the child to a big doll to take care of, and left without knowing what happened. It's really irresponsible!"
At this point, Xu Tiannan suppressed his emotions and returned to the car after thanking the other party.
At this point, in the case of Liu Jianren's murder, Chen Liangshan already had a motive and no alibi.
Xu Tiannan felt like his whole body was trembling, and the suffocating feeling of despair flooded into his heart again, making his heart feel as uncomfortable and struggling as if it was being roasted by fire.
Why, why did Chen Liangshan get to where he is today!
Is he really a murderer?
Why must this kind of thing be resolved with violence?
Countless questions came to mind, making Xu Tiannan's emotions almost on the verge of explosion.
But he always keeps his responsibilities in mind. Even if his most trusted brother commits a crime, he will not hesitate to bring him to justice.
He whispered: "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Murong Shui asked.
Xu Tiannan clenched his fists and said, "Go to Chen Liangshan's house!"
"No!"
Murong Shui said in surprise: "It's so late, go directly to his house? What if there is any misunderstanding about this matter..."
"Walk!"
Xu Tiannan interrupted the other party and said with a stern face: "Bring the guys you usually fight with!"
…
In the northern suburbs of the city, there is a wealthy garden.
This community in the 1990s was not much better than Widow's Street, with a dirty and messy environment everywhere. The only bulletin board revealed in black and white the families who were in arrears with property fees and heating bills.
Murong Shui parked the car under a flickering street light, took out some fruits he had just bought on the street from the back seat, and warned uneasily: "Boss, let's confirm it one last time, and we will treat it as ours soon."
We stopped by to see the kids after work tonight, do you understand? Hey? Where are you going? "
Xu Tiannan ignored the other party, walked straight to a row of vehicles parked downstairs, and asked: "Didn't you say that when you sent Xiaoyue there today, did you see Liangshan driving?"
Murong Shui nodded, "There is a car rental company's logo on the butt of that car. It should be a temporary rental car after his previous car was damaged."
"Which one?"
Murong Shui searched for a while and pointed at a silver-gray car, "That's it. Boss, what are you doing...?"
I saw Xu Tiannan squatting in front of the car door, taking out a small key bag containing his homemade lock-picking tools, and quickly opened the car door.
"Hey! Boss!"
Murong Shui whispered: "You are stealing a car! If the security guard sees you, you will be in trouble!"
"How can there be security guards in this poor community!"
Ignoring the dissuasion, Xu Tiannan got into the cab, pulled the trunk handle in the lower left corner, and walked to the back of the car. However, after checking the inside of the trunk, he did not find any murder weapon or blood-stained clothing.
"Boss, how are you?" Murong Shui asked quietly outside the car.
Xu Tiannan: "Except for the physical examination report from today's discharge, there is nothing else useful, but this is not surprising. If Liang Shan had really committed the crime, he would have destroyed the evidence long ago.
"Then what to do now?"
Xu Tiannan: "Gather your emotions, let's go upstairs!"
While the two of them were doing all this, Chen Liangshan was at the window on the 6th floor, looking at the two people downstairs with cold eyes, and said to himself: "You really came to the door."
