Chapter 9: Lunch
"Xiao Luo'er, come over and take a hand and open the door for the third master. ”
Wang Luo, who was pretending to be asleep, heard the shouts outside the door and quickly stood up to help open the door, "This is coming, Third Master, you should be slow." ”
After bringing the food into the house, Hou Laosan quickly put the casserole in the tray on the mat that Wang Luo had already placed, and then put the extra two portions of rice and three side dishes on the tray.
"Xiao Luo'er, you have been here for a long time, you should know that my rice and cold dishes here are free, this is not a bad rule. ”
Looking at Hou Laosan's resolute and enthusiastic appearance, Wang Luo felt that the other party's kindness was not easy to refuse.
"Third master, since you say so, then I'm embarrassed, in a few months, when our beans come down to sour, I'll give you a little bit of it. ”
"Oh, that old man, I have taken it orally, the pickled things in your jar are a must, if you are willing to sell it, it will definitely be robbed, but I think of my uncle's stubborn temper, hey. ”
Regarding Hou Laosan's exclamation, Wang Luo could only smile helplessly.
"Grandpa Tai probably also has his own considerations, there are some things that we haven't picked up well as juniors, and it's not too good to always rely on him. ”
"Xiao Luo'er, this is probably because you are young, and there are some things you haven't told you about at home. Your father, he is indeed a crop cook, but your grandfather was the most educated person in the village back then, and your grandfather ......"
Hearing the third master say this, Wang Luo couldn't turn his head all of a sudden, "Third master, I remember that I only have one aunt and grandmother, no grandfather?"
"Ahem...... Yes, yes, Xiao Luo'er, your grandfather has only one sister, you see that I am an old fool, I have been moving to the city for a long time, and I have forgotten the time in the village, you have a good meal with your classmates, and you will call me again if there is anything. It's almost time, and the third master is going to start his work. ”
Seeing that Hou Laosan was about to leave in a hurry, Wang Luo felt that things must not be so simple, his grandfather really had a big brother? But at this time, if he asked about this kind of thing, it is estimated that the third master would not answer him positively, and even if he asked, it would not mean much to him, so it was better to figure out the business first.
"Third master, I really have a little trouble with you. ”
"Something to say, Xiao Luo'er, your business is your third grandfather's business, you don't have to see me outside. ”
"Third master, after my aunt Xiaoli's family moved to other places, are you helping to take care of their house in the city?"
"yes, that's right. Hou Laosan let out a long sigh when he heard Wang Luo suddenly mention this name, and said with some sadness, "Since Zhang Qian's child committed suicide by jumping off the building for some reason, your uncle and your aunt went to the south to work together, and my niece gave me the key to the house they bought in the city before leaving, so that I can help take care of it when I have time." ”
Hearing Hou Laosan say this, Mao Xiaotong, who has been a background board from the beginning to the present, suddenly came to his senses.
"Grandpa, then you are Zhang Qian's uncle and grandfather?"
"That's right. Hou Laosan saw that the little girl who had not spoken suddenly spoke and asked a little strangely, "Child, do you also know my hard-working baby?"
"I am ......"
"Here's the thing, the third master. Wang Luo saw that Mao Xiaotong had the idea of revealing his identity, so he hurriedly went up to stop him, "Didn't my sister Zhang Qian die in vain in our school ten years ago? So a lot of ghost stories about her have slowly appeared among the teachers and students in the school, and isn't it close to my cousin's death day recently? In the past two days, I have always had nightmares at night, and the injuries on my face are also because I haven't rested well, and my head may fall under my feet." ”
"For this reason, I called home, and my grandfather asked me to find an opportunity to come out and put incense sticks on my cousin and burn some paper money. ”
Hearing Wang Luo say this, Hou Laosan's cloudy old eyes blinked twice and almost shed tears.
"My sister went early, your aunt Xiaoli and my uncle, and my daughter, I watched it as my own granddaughter. Xiaoqian, she has a psychological grudge, but she has already gone, how do we know where her resentment is?"
"Third master, you mourn, my cousin has been gone for so many years, she is so close to you, she will not think that you are too sad and sad because of this matter. Besides, people are doing it, the sky is watching, there is justice and reincarnation in the world, if my cousin has a grievance, the bad guy who forced her to death will definitely have retribution. ”
"Hey, in fact, after so many years, I should have figured it out a long time ago, but it was just a sad situation. Hou Laosan rubbed his red eyes, "Xiaoqian's house is at No. 21 East Street, the key is at your third grandmother, you can rest here after eating, and I will accompany you to go after noon." ”
Seeing that Hou Sanye was going to follow, even if Wang Luodang felt that something was wrong, the two of them went over to check things, if outsiders were there, there would be too many inconveniences.
"Third master, don't bother you to run along, so as not to shed tears for a while, you can rest here after being busy at noon. I'm just going to worship, and I'll get it back for you as soon as I run out of keys, Xiao Luo, can't you believe me?"
"How can you say this?" As he spoke, Hou San couldn't help but rub Wang Luo's head twice dotingly, "Your kid is much more pleasing than your father, he is just a lump of wood." ”
……
Seeing the little old man Hou San leaving, the harmonious atmosphere in the private room immediately changed, Mao Xiaotong didn't say a word, and stared at Wang Luo for more than half a minute with a pair of bright eyes.
Wang Luo, who was a little hairy in his heart, finally had to pretend to be calm and embarrassed, opened the casserole in front of Mao Xiaotong with his own hands, and took a bowl of steaming pigeon soup.
"Mao Xiaotong, hurry up and drink it while it's hot, if the soup is cold, the taste will change. ”
"Wang Luo, can you explain things to me clearly at once, my patience is also limited, old lady. ”
The same words, different people, different voices say completely different effects. If a stout middle-aged woman shouted such words in front of her, she might be able to scare Wang Luo half to death, but Mao Xiaotong's words, he thought it was quite interesting, just like his coquettish little cousin, so he couldn't help but continue to tease her.
"It's not that I don't want to say some things, but I'm afraid that explaining them to you will delay more time after I say them. ”
"Oh. Mao Xiaotong glanced at him with the whites of his eyes, "Then you mean that my IQ level is low." ”
"Huh...... That's what you said. ”
Looking at Wang Luo's cheap expression, Mao Xiaotong's fists couldn't help but clench again, making a creaking sound.
Seeing this scene, Wang Luo couldn't help but hurry up and take a defensive posture.
"Grandma, you are beautiful, lovely, gentle, and virtuous. You adults don't care about the villain, just let me go this time, let's eat quickly, and only when we are full will we have the strength to work. ”
"Hmph, even if you know each other, and tell me your next plans, I don't want to follow you like a fool. ”
"Well, this soup is really good, it warms my stomach. ”
"Of course, this old pigeon soup is a craft passed down by my grandfather, although the third master only has six points of true transmission, it is too good to know where it is compared to the pigeon soup outside, its biggest feature is to nourish and nourish the stomach. ”
"You're looking for a fight, don't divert the topic. ”
Seeing that Mao Xiaotong interrupted himself so decisively, but the spoon in his hand did not stop, Wang Luo shrugged helplessly.
"Actually, with your help, one of my biggest problems here has been solved, and then it's time to continue to argue my guess. ”
"Oh, so you've had a good morning at the police station? Tell me, I don't see what it is. ”
Wang Luo glanced at Mao Xiaotong, who had drunk two bowls of soup and was nibbling on pigeon meat, and couldn't help but remind him.
"Pigeon soup can be used to make rice. ”
"Well, I know, you go on. ”
Looking at Mao Xiaotong, who didn't pay any attention to himself and continued to gnaw on meat, Wang Luo had to smile helplessly.
"Director Zheng is an old oilman in the officialdom, very slippery. Everything he said and everything he did had a strong purpose, and when he mentioned the case of my cousin jumping off a building to commit suicide, he first said that he had only arrived after the case and put aside his relationship with the matter, and then he couldn't help but emphasize the rumors circulating in the market again to guide our thinking. I feel that even though this matter has little to do with him, he is also the one who knows some of the inside story. ”
"Then let's go to him now?"
"Do you think we will have the desired result if we go and ask?" Looking at Mao Xiaotong's innocent appearance, Wang Luo had no choice but to continue to laugh helplessly.
In fact, if we focus on this point, we might as well focus on the following points. Xu Jiangfeng, an important person related to the case, the file with the most complete case information, one died of a heart attack, and the other was destroyed just when the preservation period was reached, and there were problems with both of these points. ”
"Then we have to investigate the cause of death of the old policeman Xu Jiangfeng later, as well as the old Feng Tou who presided over the destruction of the files?"
Looking at Mao Xiaotong, who was going to continue to make indiscriminate remarks, Wang Luo felt that he not only had a headache, but he felt that his liver hurt and his kidneys hurt.
"It's not Lao Fengtou, it's Hongli Company that donated to **. It's a coincidence, but did you know that the plane trees in our school were also donated by Hongli Company, and the trees were planted just a month after my cousin committed suicide. ”
"Then what are we going to your cousin's house for a while, go directly to the leader of Hongli Company?"
Forehead...... Looking at Mao Xiaotong's innocent expression, Wang Luo felt that it was better not to say what he said just now.
"Now this situation is that we can only say that Hongli Company and my cousin's case may have a lot to do with it, and the most important link is the evidence, and we don't have evidence to ask people what the results are. ”
"Now that we know that there is a problem with Hongli, why don't we go to him to find evidence? ”
Forehead...... Wang Luo would have cried even if he hadn't been punched.
I was so hard.
