"Well, okay, then you guys stay safe and contact at any time sometimes. ”

After Lin Manshu and Xiao Hanyu decided to go home, they talked to Xiao Mubai on the phone, and Xiao Mubai had to go to work the next day and couldn't follow.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Mubai felt that he couldn't just do it and wait, he had to do something.

"Do you want to ask the director? No, forget it, today is the weekend, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

He thought about who he could ask and where he could continue his investigation, and suddenly it occurred to him that his parents, who knew each other and Xiao Rong, should know something.

"yes, go ask them. ”

Xiao Mubai made up his mind and drove to his parents' house, and at the same time, Lin Manshu and Xiao Hanyu also set off.

The family was in another city, and it was about two hours away, so they drove lightly and set off in the direction of home.

At this time, Lin Manshu was thinking about another thing, that is, her parents. Do you want to meet them this time? Is there any point in meeting them now?

She didn't know if she was punishing her parents or herself by not seeing them. In short, it's painful on both sides. Time is slipping away as they punish each other, and their parents are no longer young, do they really want to continue like this?

Over the years, the things of condolences to his parents have been handed over to Xiao Hanyu to do, and he will send money to his parents on time, but he still feels a lot of debt. I want to meet but can't let go of my knot, as my hometown gets closer and closer, Lin Manshu's mood is becoming more and more complicated.

The same is true for Xiao Hanyu, when he heard that his mother was Cui Hao's wife, he was a little panicked. He didn't know, but he always felt as if something bad was entangled in himself and his family.

Why didn't his mother tell him the truth? Why did Cui Hao disappear? Did he have anything to do with the death of Xiao Mubai's biological father? Why was all the information covered up?

These questions were like a tight spell, trapping Xiao Hanyu's head, getting closer and closer, and more and more he was breathless.

"Hoo ......"

Xiao Hanyu took a big breath to relieve the suffocation, which caught Lin Manshu's attention.

"How are you?"

"Well, not good. ”

"Why are you so nervous, it's okay. Even if Cui Hao is really your father, so what? Haven't you always wanted to know who your father is?"

"That being said, he's not a bad person. Ah, I'm really afraid that Mu Bai's father's death has something to do with him, so how should I face Mu Bai. ”

"Whatever the truth is, it's none of your business, and it's not your fault. ”

Although he said this, Xiao Hanyu was still worried in his heart. He usually lives a lot and has a sense of humor, but now he has become much more depressed, which makes Lin Manshu worried.

"You remember Aunt Xiao. ”

Xiao Mubai began to ask after seeing his parents, and this time he didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Remember, why did you suddenly ask about her?" Xiao's mother asked.

"Aunt Xiao's husband is Cui Hao, a reporter from the provincial TV station. Xiao Mubai said in a very certain tone.

Gu Mingsheng and Ding Lan were both stunned for a moment when they heard the word "Cui Hao", and then they glanced at each other, but no one spoke.

Xiao Mubai got the answer from their expressions, he didn't know why the second elder's expression was so heavy.

"That reporter has something to do with my father's death, right?" Xiao Mubai continued.

"Your father is suicidal, stop clinging. ”

Ding Lan's face suddenly became serious, and her expression seemed to not want to mention this matter again.

"Whether it was suicide or not has to be found out why you are hiding this matter. Xiao Mubai's tone was full of puzzlement.

Ding Lan's face turned sideways, she got up from the sofa, and said with a firm attitude: "If you still recognize me as a mother, don't worry about this matter anymore." ”

Ding Lan's resolute attitude shocked Xiao Mubai, and he wanted to say something, but Ding Lan had already turned around and entered the house.

After Ding Lan left, Gu Mingsheng sighed and said, "It's been more than twenty years, and you will eventually have to go back to your father's old path." ”

"Is there any secret hidden by my father's death?" Xiao Mubai asked.

"Actually, I don't know. Gu Mingsheng said frankly, "You just treat him as suicidal, isn't it good to live your life well? Why do you have to be obsessed with that incident? Sometimes, the truth is even more heart-wrenching." ”

"My father's death hit me hard, and at that time I felt that there was no hope in life, and I was messing around all day. Later, you told me that my father may not have committed suicide, but that his death involved a big secret, and that only if I study hard can I find out about it. I relied on that sentence to get to where I am now, why don't you let me look it up?"

Xiao Mubai looked at Gu Mingsheng and asked, although this person who is not a father but is better than his biological father, gave him comfort and a good living environment, and because of his words, Xiao Mubai did not become a gangster on the street.

Xiao Mubai once relied on the belief of finding out the truth about his biological father's death, but now everyone suddenly stopped letting him check it, and he couldn't accept this change.

"Those words are meant to cheer people up, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously, I'm sorry, now, forget about those words. Gu Mingsheng said so, and got up to leave.

Xiao Mubai looked at Gu Mingsheng and said, "But you're not talking nonsense." ”

Gu Mingsheng's body shook, and he looked back at Xiao Mubai. After all, won't their next generation escape that curse? These are the kids he likes, and he doesn't want anything to happen to them.

"Kid, that incident is very involved, and I don't know exactly what level it is. But one thing is certain, if that thing is brought out, a lot of people will die. It could be you, it could be the kid named Hanyu, or it could be Manshu. In that case, do you still want to look it up?"

Xiao Mubai didn't understand and asked, "Why? Why did someone die?"

Gu Mingsheng didn't answer him and went back to the room silently.

Xiao Mubai sat on the sofa in the living room, his face full of sadness. What happened more than 20 years ago?

"Shouldn't we let him be a police officer? Ding Lan said remorsefully.

"If you can't get rid of it, let's just assume that it's all fate. Gu Mingsheng said in a deep voice.

"After avoiding it for more than 20 years, I still can't get around that incident in the end, alas, ......"

The worries of the older generations and the younger generations do not know, after all, they have not experienced what happened more than 20 years ago. It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and that's what they are.

thought that it would be just a few setbacks at most, but I didn't expect that in the end, Gu Mingsheng's prediction was really fulfilled.

It was already noon when Lin Manshu and Xiao Hanyu arrived at the place, and the two didn't even have time to eat, so they began to investigate.

When she returned home, she found that she was not at home, and asked her neighbors to say that she had not been back for several months.

Xiao Hanyu called Xiao Rong and asked, "Mom, where are you?"

"Where else can I, of course at home. What's wrong? My son, I miss your mother. ”

Xiao Rong's tone was very relaxed, she didn't know that Xiao Hanyu was at home at the moment.

Hearing his mother lying, Xiao Hanyu's expression became even more sad, but he tried his best to use a brisk tone to prevent Xiao Rong from hearing the clues.

"It's nothing, I just thought of you all of a sudden, ask what you're doing?"

"What else can I do, just take a bend and take care of my old age. If you miss your mother, come home, and call me in advance when you will be back. By the way, bring your girlfriend back this time. Xiao Rong continued.

"Well, good. I still have something to do, so I'll hang up first. Xiao Hanyu said and hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Lin Manshu asked worriedly when she saw that Hanyu's face was sad.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Rong also had doubts, and said to herself: "Strange, this kid's tone is wrong today, is something happening?"

But she quickly put those things aside and pushed the wheelchair patient outside.

"Is it Hanyu?" the patient asked.

"yes. Rong replied.

"That kid should have grown up. The patient said again.

"Yes, I can only come to see you often when he grows up. Xiao Rong said with a smile.

"I'd love to meet him. The patient said.

"There's always going to be a chance. Xiao Rong said.

The sun shines behind them, imprinting shadows on the ground. It is a closed hospital with few patients and medical staff, making it a great place to recuperate.

"What now? Auntie isn't here, so I can't ask her. Lin Manshu asked.

"She's not here, I guess she won't say it if you ask, let's start investigating first. ”

Xiao Hanyu has cheered up a lot at the moment, he can't be disturbed by personal feelings, he has to find out the truth. No matter what the truth is, it is always advantageous for him to find out first, and only then can he protect the person he wants to protect.

"Where to start?"

Lin Manshu is confused now, and it is okay for her to sue, but if she investigates the case, the profession is not right, and it is still difficult.

"Boxes. Xiao Hanyu said: "I remember that my mother had a wooden box, and she always took it with her and didn't let me touch it, so there might be something in it." Anyway, let's find the box first. ”

After that, Lin Manshu and Xiao Hanyu began to look for the wooden box. The house is not small, there are many rooms, and it is not easy to find a wooden box among the many furniture.

They started by looking for the room in the room, which was the most likely place to store the wooden crates. The wardrobe, the desk, the bed, and even the corners of the room were rummaged through, but there was still no trace of the wooden box.

In order to prevent a dark compartment in the room, they carefully knocked on the floor and walls, but found nothing.

Next is the storage room, in the memory of Xiao Hanyu, there are many large and small boxes in the storage room, storing all kinds of sundries, and it is possible to put the boxes here. The storage room is no more than the room, because there are more things, and it is more troublesome to find. Lin Manshu and Xiao Hanyu worked together, and one of them found a side, determined to turn over the house.
