Zuo Jingyan pointed to the rusty iron lock on the door and asked Li Er coldly:

"No one has lived in this house for at least a year, and you are still pretending?"

Li Er was anxious:

"This house does belong to Lao Zuo. I didn't lie to you. What are you doing? You want to cheat and refuse to pay me?"

When Zuo Jingyan saw that she had been exposed, he still wanted money? She sneered and asked:

"Where's the person? I made it clear, you have to find the person who will give you money if you meet him."

Li Er started to play tricks:

"Lao Zuo is gone. No one knows where he has gone. This is his home. His lair is here and he has to come back sooner or later. Anyway, I have brought you to his house. If he is not at home, don't blame me. Give him the money quickly.

, otherwise our brothers will be rude."

Li San blocked the way back, as if he wouldn't let them go unless Zuo Jingyan paid them.

Zhao Xiaobao had been on guard against them for a long time. When he saw the two brothers starting to act rogue, he snapped his fingers and ordered in a cold voice: "Get out of the way."

"We won't let you do anything?"

Li Er reached out to push Zhao Xiaobao, but before he could touch Zhao Xiaobao, he grabbed his arm and threw him a few meters away. He fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

Li San saw that his brother was thrown out by Zhao Xiaobao as soon as he reached out. As expected, this young man with fierce eyes was not easy to mess with. He reached out to Zuo Jingyan, thinking that he could get the money by grabbing her, but it turned out that this woman was not easy to mess with either.

I wonder what she sprinkled into his eyes? It was so hot and painful that he covered his eyes and screamed.

Zuo Jingyan went up and kicked her: "If you don't learn well, will you learn to cheat?"

Zhao Xiaobao went over to catch Li Er and prepared to teach him a lesson. Seeing how powerful the two were, Li Er hurriedly begged for mercy: "No, no, why don't we not want the money? But we really didn't lie. This is Lao Zuo's home. Don't believe you."

Go and inquire, go to the police station and ask if this is Lao Zuo’s home?”

Zuo Jingyan heard Li Er's words and called out to Zhao Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, forget it, let them go."

Zhao Xiaobao was thrown to the ground by Li Er and ordered sternly: "Get out."

Although she didn't believe the two brothers, Zuo Jingyan didn't want to miss any clues, so she still wrote down the house number opposite the house and took Zhao Xiaobao to the police station.

When she arrived at the police station, Zuo Jingyan took out the missing person notice and portrait, and asked the film police officer in charge of the film what the name of the resident at No. 236 Antai Hutong was?

The police did not look for her right away. They first looked at her ID and letter of introduction. When they saw that Zuo Jingyan's surname was Zuo, they checked her household registration.

Zuo Jingyan was so anxious that she couldn't sit still and was pacing back and forth on the floor. Zhao Xiaobao saw Zuo Jingyan in such a hurry and thought that the person she was looking for was an important relative of hers.

Soon the police officer came back and brought over a household registration certificate. Zuo Jingyan hurriedly greeted him: "Comrade, have you found it?"

"We found out that the head of household in Antai Hutong 236 is indeed named Zuo, Zuo Yuzhu. He also has a son named Zuo Tianming."

Zuo Jingyan was already very excited when she heard her grandfather's name, and she was even more excited when she heard that his son was called Zuo Tianming.

Although she has never met her father and mother, she knows her father's name. Her grandfather told her when she was a child.

Zuo Jingyan suppressed her excitement and asked the police:

"Yes, that's them. Can you find out where he went?"

"In August last year, Zuo Yuzhu went to the street and wrote a letter of introduction, saying he was going to see his son. He never came back after that. No one knows where he is now."

The police often conduct patrols, and they will also ask the neighbors or the street where the permanent residents have gone. People who have been away for a long time will be recorded in a separate book to make it easier to know the movements of the people.

"Then do you know where his son is?"

Zuo Jingyan hurriedly asked, as long as she knew where her father was, she could find her grandfather. The thought of seeing her father made Zuo Jingyan even more excited.

"Zuo Tianming is an educated youth who went to the countryside. You can find out where he went to the countryside by going to the street?"

The police asked Zuo Jingyan to go find the street. Zuo Jingyan left the police station and went to the street. It was almost noon when she went there. They were getting off work and no longer welcomed her, so she was kicked out without waiting for questioning.

Zuo Jingyan had no choice but to take Zhao Xiaobao to the teahouse opposite the street office, ordered a pot of tea and some snacks, and waited patiently while drinking tea.

Jiangnan pastries are very delicious. The outer shell is crispy and the inner filling is sweet but not greasy. Take a bite and chew slowly to let the sweet taste stay in your mouth for a while. Then drink a sip of tea and rinse your mouth. It can pass the time.

And you can enjoy delicious food.

While others could enjoy tea leisurely and contentedly, Zuo Jingyan was impatient to wait.

When Zhao Xiaobao saw Zuo Jingyan chewing her food carefully, he was too embarrassed to swallow it and learned to eat slowly. Not to mention, it was quite good to eat like this without worrying about choking.

After finally waiting until the subdistrict office went to work, Zuo Jingyan was the first to rush in, find the street aunt who was in charge of educated youth issues, and offered her a pack of snacks to please the street aunt. The street aunt was very happy:

"If you have anything to do, just say it, no need to be so polite."

He said you're welcome, but locked the pastry in the drawer.

When Zuo Jingyan saw that she accepted the cakes, she would not embarrass herself and immediately said:

"Sister, I am Zuo Yuzhu's granddaughter. My father asked me to come to visit his old man, but the door of his house is locked. I went to the police station and asked, and they said he went to the place where his son went to the countryside and never came back. I am very worried.

, I’m afraid something might happen to my grandpa, can you tell me where Zuo Tianming goes to the countryside?”

This aunt was obviously very familiar with Zuo Yuzhu. She frowned and said, "Zuo Yuzhu also has a granddaughter? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Zuo Jingyan hurriedly said with a smile: "My grandfather went to the north. It's too far away. Maybe my grandpa rarely mentions it."

The aunt took a look at Zuo Jingyan and saw that she was well dressed and didn't look like a liar. Besides, Zuo Yuzhu was so poor that there was nothing to deceive. Moreover, she accepted her gift again, so it was not a mistake.

, then make it convenient for others!

"Okay, let me show you."

The street aunt took out the files of educated youth, and Zuo Jingyan looked at her anxiously.

Soon the aunt found out and said to Zuo Jingyan:

"Zuo Tianming went to Yichun in Northeast China and worked as an educated youth in a forest farm. He has been there for three or four years."

Zuo Jingyan asked again:

"I heard from a comrade at the police station that last August my cousin went to the street and wrote a letter of introduction to see his son. Can you still find that letter of introduction?"

"I've been looking for you for more than a year, and the person in charge of the letters of introduction has changed. I don't know whether they are there or not."

Auntie was a little annoyed, so she only accepted a pack of snacks and started searching here and there.

Zuo Jingyan waited patiently with a smiling face. The aunt went out for a while before coming back. She shook her head at Zuo Jingyan:

"The foundation of that letter of introduction is gone. There was a fire before, so it was probably burned."

Zuo Jingyan couldn't hide her disappointment. She thanked her and left the street office with Zhao Xiaobao.

She stood at the door and thought for a while. Although it was not easy to check, at least she had a clue, unlike before when she was looking for a needle in a haystack.

When Zhao Xiaobao saw her stopping, he asked:

"Sister-in-law, where else should we go?"
