Chapter 457: The Old Lady in the Know

"Two years ago, I met a chemist at a seminar abroad and helped him solve the problem of inheritance disputes, and I remember that he worked at a chemical research institute, and I might have asked him for help. Li Shanghan's eyes sank, and his face was serious.

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and made a cross-over call.

On the phone, he briefly explained the situation of the black spots on the bones, and the chemist enthusiastically agreed, as long as Qiu Lan sent the sample, the results would be available within a month.

Qiu Lan, who was frowning, took a deep breath after hearing this result, and her tone was heavy, "You will know the result in a month, but now it seems that Qiu Shiming must be inseparable from the relationship." ”

A sharp light burst from her obsidian eyes, and she clenched her small fists, her ears constantly echoing the conversation between the servants she had heard at Qiu's house three years ago.

"The Qiu family is Qiu Lan's relatives, and the two families do business in partnership, but the Qiu family killed Qiu Lan's parents and occupied the property. ”

"The Qiu family killed Qiu Lan's parents. ”

"The Qiu family killed my parents, and they killed my parents. Qiu Lan tensed her body, struggled to close her eyes, her face was ugly, and she kept repeating the words in her ear in a low voice.

These words pierced her heart deeply, and hatred instantly hit her brain.

"I must find out the truth, I will make the Qiu family pay!" she bit her red lips, and cold tears squeezed out of her eyes.

Li Shanghan, who looked solemn, looked at her sad appearance and felt distressed, walked in front of her with an arrow step, gently hugged this small body into his arms, gently stroked her hair with his big palm, and whispered comfortingly, "Xiaolan, don't be too uncomfortable, I have always been by your side, I will help you." ”

The warm voice was like a spring breeze in April, Qiu Lan was deeply moved, her hands were wrapped around his waist, and her head was buried in his chest.

Luckily, she still has him.

In the cold corridor, a low sobbing sound sounded indifferently, Li Shanghan's heart tightened for a while, and there was endless chill in his deep eyes.

Three days later, one afternoon, in front of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the familiar black Maybach was parked steadily on the side of the street.

Not long after, Qiu Lan's figure appeared at the door, Li Shanghan, who was smiling, snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, strode to his side, and naturally picked up the handbag in her hand.

"Why are you here?" the puzzled Qiu Lan fanned her long eyelashes and glanced at him softly.

"Take you to a place. ”

The mysterious Li Shanghan pursed her thin lips, escorted her into the car, and left quickly along the highway out of the city.

After about two hours, they came to a country road surrounded by mountains and rivers, and finally stopped under an old locust tree.

"This is here?" Qiu Lan frowned, looking at the situation around her blankly, not knowing why.

"Look there. Li Shanghan gently took her hand, pointed to a red bungalow not far away, and his voice was a little colder, "In the past two days, I have found someone to check the servants of the Qiu family, and finally found this address." ”

"The old lady who cleaned in front of the yard had worked in the Qiu family for forty-five years, and she didn't leave the Qiu family until she fell ill two years ago. ”

Qiu Lan, who frowned slightly, looked in the direction of his finger, the expression on her face was slightly stiff, "What do you mean?"

"Go to her and ask her about the year. Li Shanghan took a deep breath, moved his eyebrows thoughtfully, stared at the person in front of him seriously, and said in a calm tone, "She has worked in the Qiu family for decades, maybe she knows something." ”

Qiu Lan, who had a heavy face, pursed her red lips uneasily, and her eyes were fixed on the old lady in front of the small courtyard.

After a few seconds of silence, she opened the car door and walked into the small farmhouse courtyard, Li Shanghan followed closely behind her with a steady step.

The old lady in front of the small courtyard swung her broom slowly, completely oblivious to the two people walking towards her.

"Hello. Qiu Lan stopped in front of the old lady, her voice unhurried, "I want to ask, have you worked in the Qiu family before?"

The old lady with gray temples listened to this voice, raised her eyes, and looked puzzled, "Are you?"

"I'm Qiu Lan, and I'm here today to ask you about the Qiu family thirty years ago. Qiu Lan trembled her fingertips and stared at the old lady nervously, eagerly waiting for her answer.

But unexpectedly, after hearing her name and intention, the old lady's face turned pale instantly, and her eyes were full of panic.

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what the Qiu family is. She waved her hand in a panic, her eyes dodged, and she turned around with a broom and walked towards the gate of the small courtyard.

The trembling voice and flustered eyes are obviously signs that can be avoided.

She knows!

The woman's intuition kept tapping on Qiu Lan's heart, she bit her red lip, and followed in small steps, "Grandma, you know, right? ”

The old lady rolled her eyes, never looked at Qiu Lan more, and not only did not slow down, but accelerated the frequency, "I'm just an old peasant woman, I don't know anything about the Qiu family, you're looking for the wrong person." ”

"No, I didn't look for the wrong person. Qiu Lan furrowed her brows weakly, impatient, "Grandma, I know you must know something, please tell me." ”

With a muffled sound of "bang", the red-painted iron door was instantly closed, and the old lady did not stay at all, and disappeared from Qiu Lan's field of vision in an instant.

Why is this happening?

What did she know, so why didn't she say anything about it?

What happened back then?

Qiu Lan clenched the fists in her hands, her face was ugly, and the question marks in her heart followed.

"Are you okay?" Li Shanghan, who had a cold face, walked to her side, gently held her shoulder, and looked worried, "Xiao Lan, I knew that I brought you here at this address, and I didn't know that she didn't want to talk about it." ”

"I'm fine, Shang Han, don't worry. Qiu Lan shook her head, saying that it was okay, but there was still a trace of loss in her eyes that could not be hidden, "The more she doesn't mention the things of the past, the more it speaks volumes." ”

She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and said in a firm tone, "No matter what, I must ask about the situation, I must know what happened back then!"

Qiu Lan, who was very anxious, waited in front of the small courtyard for a full three hours, but the old lady never came out again, only quietly looked at her on the balcony on the second floor.

Time passed minute by minute, the sun was setting, night was falling, and the sky was drizzling, but Qiu Lan had no intention of leaving.

Li Shanghan knew her resoluteness, so he didn't say anything, just silently took off his coat and held his hands above her head.

The light rain gradually thickened, and the raindrops fell one by one, quickly wetting the clothes and dripping onto Qiu Lan's cheeks.

The cold chill invaded her body, she bit her red lips tightly, her face was pale, but the light in her eyes was still clear.
