She swallowed and forced a smile, "She was not good to me before, and you noticed it? But after all, she has raised me for several years and has some kindness. I still need to deal with this matter."
Huo Xu looked at her worriedly.
He always felt that the girl was hiding something from him, but he couldn't tell. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "How many days are you going to school to ask for leave? Let's go to Nianhua Town first and record a confession?"
"
"good."
Yu Ruanruan bit her lip and nodded without revealing any trace.
The police station in Nianhua Town was dispatched to drain many nearby rivers, and finally a half-rotten female corpse was found in a nearby lotus pond.
The body was buried in the mud and had a faint odor.
However, the water quality nearby has never been very good. The nearby residents are all old people living in slums, and no one has any doubts about the water problem.
When the body was retrieved, it had been soaked beyond recognition.
However, based on the clothes he was wearing, the neighbors identified him as Yang Cuihua.
But Yu Ruanruan saw the clues at a glance. Yang Cuihua had had dentures in the past.
But the teeth on this corpse were obviously original.
Although she could see the problem with the corpse at a glance, Yu Ruanruan didn't say anything because she knew that it was all the fault of "Cang Lang".
Although it is unclear where this body came from, for now, we can only pretend to be the adoptive mother.
"Ruanruan, how old is your adoptive mother?"
"She's almost 50 years old."
"50 years old?"
Huo Xu squatted in front of the shroud in the pond, briefly examined the body, and said solemnly, "This person may not be your adoptive mother. It seems that the age of the body should be between 35 and 40 years old."
"How did you know?"
"Have you forgotten? I am a medical examiner." Huo Xu looked serious, took off his disposable gloves, and his eyes became more sharp, "Moreover, the cause of her death was not accidental drowning, but homicide."
"this……"
Yu Ruoruan almost forgot that with the presence of Huo Xu, "Cang Lang"'s disguise was a failure.
And according to this trend, it won't be long before Huo Xu finds out the identity of the corpse. Now Cang Lang's disguise has become a cover-up and has become a breakthrough point for the police to solve the case.
However, she did not prevent Huo Xu's autopsy, nor did she hinder the investigation of the case.
She behaved like a normal family member of the deceased throughout the process. After finishing the transcript, she left Nianhua Town and returned to Binhai with Huo Xu.
On the way back, Huo Xu sat next to her and couldn't help but glance at her to observe her reaction.
After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Ruanruan, can you tell me about your past?"
"ah?"
Yu Ruanruan supported her head with one hand and was thinking about something. She came back to her senses when she heard the voice and smiled covertly, "What's there to say? My past is not glorious."
Having said this, the smile on her face faded a bit.
The smile in his eyes also faded.
"Can't you tell me?"
Huo Xu frowned and said in a deep voice, "I just care about you."
"I understand." Yu Ruanruan smiled and looked at Huo Xu, "I know you care about me, but Huo Xu, everyone has his own mission. Sometimes, relying on the salvation of others cannot help.
You can only walk your own path by yourself."
Just like the two years she spent in "Cang Lang", those dark and terrifying black histories, no one would be willing to accept them if she told them, right?
She was a monster who once forcibly dug out fingerprints on the necks of her companions' corpses in order to survive.
In her bones, she did not agree with those despicable things and did not dare to face them.
How can you tell others?
Moreover, what's the point of saying it? It will only cause pain to her relatives and anger to her enemies. The most important thing is that she cannot expose her connection with "Cang Lang" for the time being.
Seeing that the girl was unwilling to say anything, Huo Xu did not continue to ask.
But the doubts in my heart were even deeper.
He knew that pressing questions would yield no results. Only when she was willing to tell could he get the answer from her mouth.
Therefore, men choose to go with what suits their taste.
However, it seems that he must speed up the progress of the Nianhua Town case.
He always felt that Ruanruan's behavior today was a bit abnormal. The surprise she showed at Yang Cuihua's disappearance was too obvious.
It was as if she had known it for a long time, but had concealed the fact.
Before the truth comes out, Huo Xu will not make malicious speculations about Ruanruan, he just has reservations.
After returning to Binhai, Yu Ruanruan went back to school.
Three days later, Huo Xu received a call from Liu Bo, "The inspection report of the body in the lotus pond in Nianhua Town has come out. The body verification results do not match the DNA left at Yang Cuihua's home. It is not Yang Cuihua herself."
"Did you find out the true identity of the corpse?"
"Not yet, but when we investigated the call records of Yang Cuihua's home landline, we discovered something."
"What?"
"Before Yang Cuihua disappeared, she received a call from overseas, but the phone only rang a few times and ended without a call."
"Call from overseas? Scam call?"
"That's unknown."
"Is there any other suspicious information?" Huo Xu asked with a frown.
Liu Bodao said, "I haven't seen any other suspicious calls for the time being. Yang Cuihua is usually quite withdrawn, and few people call her. Except for the day when the crime was reported, Miss Yu called her several times.
Life records, community calls, etc.”
"What did you say? Ruanruan called her?"
Huo Xu's heart skipped a beat, "What time is it?"
"It was around seven or eight o'clock in the morning." Liu Bo couldn't help but wonder when he heard the man's tone of shock. "What's wrong? What's the fuss about Miss Yu calling her adoptive mother?"
There was nothing unusual about calling her adoptive mother.
What's strange is that she made a phone call, but she didn't say a word about it that day, and her words and behavior were very abnormal.
Huo Xu felt more and more that something was wrong. He squinted his eyes and said to Liu Bo, "Bureau Liu, I need to ask you a favor."
"What's up?"
"Go and retrieve Ruanruan's call records from that day."
"You want to check Miss Yu?" Liu Bo was even more surprised, "Are you... doubting Miss Yu?"
Huo Xu lowered his eyes, pursed his thin lips slightly, and a deep light flashed across his eyes, "It's not that he doubted her, I just felt that there seemed to be some unknown secret behind this matter, and Ruanruan, it is possible that
Insider."
He must find out.
He couldn't let Ruanruan take risks alone.
After hearing Huo Xu's suggestion, Liu Bo couldn't help but ponder for a few seconds, and then said, "Okay, wait for my news."
