Chapter 67: Suspicions

When I think about what Li Lao and He Ming said, I always feel that something is weird. For example, in the case of Ouyang's theft, even if the Hong family does not pursue it, they will not continue to stay with the thieves. If they were kept in retaliation for arson, it would be too much of a fuss. But if it wasn't for the fire they set it, who would have set it? Could it be Ho San? There is also that sneaky person, and the conversation in the study, let's just call it a "conversation", Li Lao said that he only heard the voice of one person. Maybe he was far away, and the other person's voice was so quiet that he didn't hear it.

I thought about it for a while, and then asked again, "Old man, when did you notice that the white jade wrench was wrong?" ”

Li Lao glanced at the two brothers Li Zhenwen, his eyes were a little moist, and he sighed softly: "I am also an arrogant person, but I can't bear to let Xiaojuan and them suffer with me, so I was confused for a while and did such a thing." I got someone to deal with all that stuff and exchanged it for some money. But I was always a little jealous of that wrench, and I didn't dare to sell it cheaply...... I regretted what I had done, and my mood became more and more depressed, and several times, I tried to make a decision on my own...... Fortunately, Xiaojuan stopped me......" Li Lao said, tears in his eyes, "At that time, Xiaowei and they were still young, and Xiaojuan had to take care of the two children and watch me...... Blame me...... Blame me for not ......" Li Lao was a little crying, the two brothers stepped forward to appease, and Zhang Yufen also stepped forward to wipe away the tears and snot for Li Lao.

I couldn't bear it and didn't want to ask any more, but Li Lao calmed down his emotions and choked up and said: "I wanted to repent, and told Xiaojuan about the wrench...... But when she went out for a day, she came back and told me that she should keep it and tell me not to worry about it anymore...... I snuggled up to her, snuggled up to her...... Damn, why did I just cling to her......"

Li Zhenwei looked at his father, his eyes were already red, and he answered: "I was eight years old at that time, and I was depressed for half a year after my father came back, and then he slowly improved, but my mother had a sad face all day long...... Getting thinner...... I thought she was tired...... Thinking that if she took on more responsibilities, she would be fine...... One day I went up the mountain to carry firewood, and when I came back...... Mom is gone......"

"Didn't Mom die of illness?" Li Zhenwen asked suspiciously.

Li Zhenwei lowered his head and said, "She...... It was he who hit the stone mill and died of excessive blood loss...... You weren't even three years old at the time, and when you asked about it, Dad said that Mom died of illness, and we thought she was sick and died! ”

"It's me...... Careless! The old lady suddenly said loudly: "After Xiaojuan died, she came to me and only said that there were evil things in the house. I was entangled in something at the time, and I didn't think much about it, so I asked someone to give you a talisman! ”

"Yes...... I wrapped the wrench around it and hid it, not daring to touch it again. I thought this matter was over, and I didn't think about ......it," he looked at Li Zhenwei and said regretfully: "I don't want Xiaowei to steal it...... Fortunately, I found out in time...... By chance, I got that box again. Over the years, the children have not been affected by me anymore, so that my Li family will not be down......"

"Uncle He, how do you know that the wrench is in the Li family?" Xue Chen asked.

That's right! I heard the sound and looked at He Ming-since the three people who shared the spoils back then had agreed not to contact each other again, He San, who was not present, naturally had no way of knowing. So how did He Ming know that the wrench was in the Li family, and why did he have to destroy it?

"Xiaoyi...... It was Xiaoxue's mother who told me! He Ming said.

"Mom?" Xiaoxue looked at He Ming in surprise.

"After she died, she told me that I must find the things of the past, and then find someone with the right way to destroy them......"

A trace of doubt flashed in Xue Chen's eyes, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Did she say the whereabouts of the other two things?" ”

Xiaoyi only said that the wrench was in the Li family...... It was a woman who told her......" He Ming said with a look of remorse: "After Xiaoxue took the wrench back, I asked someone to find a Taoist priest with advanced Taoism, but it didn't come to ......."

Seeing that her father was embarrassed, Xiaoxue answered: "That person didn't know what he was frightened about, so he fled in a panic, and the jewelry box was also burned by him when he did it...... I didn't know the situation at the time, and I saw my dad nervously running out with the jewelry box...... Then he disappeared!"

"He's coming for me!" Li Zhenwei explained: "Because of the two children, I also know He Ming. That day he suddenly came to the company to find me, and he was still holding my dad's box, and we had a fight over it. I was afraid that my father would be worried, so I secretly returned the things. At that time, I realized that something was wrong with the box, and I didn't think much of it...... And then it happened! ”

After a moment of silence, Li Lao left the living room alone. Everyone was depressed, and it was pointless to ask any more questions, so they left.

In front of the gate, I stopped Xiaoxue and asked her to bring me the inkstone. Even if that thing is left in Xiaoxue's mother's cemetery, it is very inappropriate to think about it, so it is better to leave it to the old lady for safekeeping.

"The old lady is also tired today, so I won't go!" I said to Xue Chen.

"I'll give it to you!" Xue Chen glanced at Zhang Yufen who was sitting in the car, "I just have something to say to you!" ”

"Hmm!"

I got into Lao Zhang's car with Xue Chen, and there wasn't much conversation on the road. I thought about the incident back then, and I had too many questions and speculations in my heart - could the person Xiaoxue's mother say be Xiaojuan? If those four things all carry a "curse", then Ouyang and Ah Gui are in a similar situation now? What do these things have to do with my brass bells?

After getting out of the car, I didn't go home, Xue Chen accompanied me around the community.

"Did you think of something?" I asked bluntly.

Xue Chen looked at me, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly: "What did you think of?" ”

I gave him a blank look and said, "When you took the initiative to ask He Ming, I felt that you must have thought of something I didn't expect!" ”

"Actually, I'm not sure!" Xue Chen walked up to me, turned to look at me and asked, "Do you think of anything about the pair of white jade bracelets?" ”

"White jade bracelet?" I looked at him puzzled, "Do you know where it is?" ”

Xue Chen turned sideways, nodded slightly, and said, "Half and half!" ”

"What, half, half, half?" I deliberately said unhappily: "I'm a patient, do you have such a problem with patients?" ”

"If you don't say it, I forgot!" Xue Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at me with a smile on his face and said, "Then do you remember the old king's wooden box?" ”

"Old king? Why are you mentioning him for no reason? As soon as I spoke, I suddenly reacted, "That white jade bracelet!" …… However, let's not talk about a pair! ”

Xue Chen shook his head in confusion: "This is also what troubles me, but you can't remember those photos and those pieces of paper...... Don't you think there are some places that fit perfectly? ”

"I don't remember...... Why don't you go again? I looked up at him and asked.

"Me again?" Xue Chen put on a reluctant look, but the next moment he said gently: "Okay! Then you wait for me! ”

I looked at him with a smile and nodded vigorously: "Then I'll go up first!" ”

"Hmmm! Bow! ”
