Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Home of the Past Is Now Settled

At Murong Xiaobei's request, Yang Zi agreed to accompany her to find her and Xiaobao's former home, so as to find the material that Xiaobao said in the letter that he had secretly hidden.

In the past ten years, the urban construction of S City has changed too much, the original house of Murong Xiaobei's family has been demolished a long time ago, and now a commercial and residential building has been built there, and it is impossible to see where her family was originally located.

Yang Zi accompanied Murong Xiaobei to follow those possible directions, carefully identifying every big tree in this large area of greenery, although Yang Zi felt in his heart that this was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, but seeing Murong Xiaobei's serious and persistent face, he couldn't bear to sweep her up, and he didn't want to tell her that he would definitely not find it.

Xiaobei has been identifying one tree after another, she not only recognizes the locust tree, as long as it is a tree in this community, she will come up and look up and down for a long time, as if looking for some mark, but every time she looks at a tree, her mood is a little lower, and her face is a little ugly, but she has not finished looking for and identifying this piece, how can she be willing, and how can she die.

Yang Zi, who was following her, couldn't help her, and asked her if there was any mark on the tree, she just looked forward as she walked, and refused to tell Yang Zi, so Yang Zi just followed her like a nobody, and let herself identify it tree by tree.

The landscape in the community is good, if it weren't for Murong Xiaobei's hurried appearance, it almost made Yang Zi have an illusion, he and Murong Xiaobei came here for leisure, Yang Zi smiled bitterly and shook his head, secretly laughing at how he could have such an idea.

At this moment, Murong Xiaobei suddenly stood still, and Yang Zi, who was thinking about things, almost hit her head-on, he stopped in time and looked forward with Murong Xiaobei's gaze.

In front of me was a thick ginkgo tree, because it was November, the leaves had almost fallen off, but there was a badge nailed to the height of Qi people, which read "Ginkgo, planted in 1901." It is everyone's responsibility to take care of ancient trees. ”

Xiaobei looked at the ginkgo tree in a daze, as if she remembered something from the past, and suddenly, she hurriedly took a few steps forward, walked to the bottom of the tree, looked up at the hundred-year-old tree, and a tear slipped down her eyes again.

"Yang Zi, I remember this tree, it was not far from my house back then, not far from it, it was the locust tree in my yard, but ......" Murong Xiaobei held back the excitement in his heart, gently stroked the thick and straight trunk of the ginkgo tree, turned his head and said to Yang Zi.

What she didn't say Yang Zi knew, because on the side of this tree, there were only some flowers and plants, and there were no other trees, that is to say, the locust tree of Murong family was cut down as early as when the old city was renovated, the old was demolished and the new was built, and the things buried by her brother Murong Xiaobao may have been dug up and thrown away as waste.

Now in addition to this tree, there is only a green space around, and even the direction is not clear, no matter which direction Murong Xiaobei looks in when she stands under the ginkgo tree, she can't remember which side of her house should be, "Alas......" Xiaobei sighed faintly, looked at it reluctantly, and looked at each side seriously in the four directions opposite the ginkgo tree, as if she wanted to engrave everything here in her heart and keep it forever.

She knows that after today, she will say goodbye to her brother completely, ten years, she has fantasized countless times that she will be able to reunite with her brother one day, no matter how slim the hope is, she has never wanted to believe that her brother is no longer there, but now, even if she is unwilling, she can only face the facts, and her brother will never come back.

She suddenly remembered that the night before graduating from school, her heart hurt so much, it must be her brother, it was her brother who had to say goodbye to herself in that way when she had an accident, but let herself empathize with his pain, poor brother, he once promised his parents to take good care of and protect himself, a thought, the wrong way, and finally invited the disaster of killing.

Xiaobei knelt under the ginkgo tree with weak legs, gently stroking the ginkgo trunk, as if it was her brother Murong Xiaobao, she slowly leaned her face over, stuck to the trunk and rubbed gently, only this tree, everything, her heart was like being soaked in bitter water, bitter and sour.

"Let's go......" Seeing Murong Xiaobei's melancholy appearance, even Yang Zi became sad, like her, who lost her relatives and even had the right to remember, it was really heartbreaking, he was afraid that she would cry here, so he hardened his heart and persuaded her to leave.

I don't know why, in front of Yang Zi, Murong Xiaobei always shows her unknown side, her fragility, her low mood, maybe from the day Yang Zi learned from her about her past, in the face of Yang Zi, a person who can be reassuring, Xiaobei, who has always been arrogant and wrapped her heart tightly, seems to have found a confidant and a friend who can be relied on.

Yes, friends! At this time, Murong Xiaobei, who followed Yang Zi from the community, found her own position for Yang Zi in her heart, for so many years, she actually walked very hard alone, no relatives, no friends, because of her obsession with the study of psychology, but also in her heart to find out the whereabouts of her brother, she closed her heart to everyone.

Maybe the only person who can be said to be close to her is Ni Xiaomei, her high school classmate, a close friend, a close friend, who hasn't seen her for a few years, but she is still close, but how can she tell Xiaomei everything in her heart? No one can get close to her heart, no one!

Although Yang Zi approached her in order to investigate the case, the opportunity for Yang Zi to cut in was originally the heavy burden she was carrying in her heart, and the secret in her heart has now become the basis for the two of them to communicate and get along in front of this criminal policeman who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and even her name for Yang Zi was unconsciously changed from Officer Yang to calling him by his name.

It's just that Murong Xiaobei seemed to have thought of something again, she frowned her delicate willow eyebrows, and sighed softly with some hesitation.

Yang Zi was unaware of the change in Murong Xiaobei's inner thoughts, he just walked silently in front of the parking lot, since Murong Xiaobei has cleared the suspicion here, the only clue is on the missing florist, I don't know how Xiaopang and they investigated, where is the breakthrough in this case? Thinking of this, Yang Zi also sighed heavily.

Sitting in the car, seeing that the time was already noon, Murong Xiaobei forcibly invited Yang Zi to lunch, she said with a heartfelt voice: "Yang Zi, you can't refuse, it's already dinner time now, besides, last time I invited you to dinner, you settled the account while I wasn't paying attention, anyway, I want to invite you back again." ”

She stopped abruptly and said a reason that Yang Zi could no longer refuse ruthlessly: "Yang Zi, I can no longer find my brother and my brother's home, and there is no more information left by my brother, I ...... I don't have a brother anymore, so you can be my brother! ”

After saying this, Xiaobei's eyes turned red again, although even she didn't expect that she would rush out and let Yang Zi be her brother's words, but at this time she said this sentence without any worries, and she felt very safe in her heart, but she thought of her own life experience, remembered that from now on, she had to face it, her brother had already left her, and she had to accept that in this world, there was no longer a brother who loved her, spoiled her, and protected her, and her heart still throbbed irrepressibly.

A terrible word came to her mind: the family is ruined! God, I didn't expect such a serious word to be used on myself, for a while, even this master of psychology with excellent psychological quality and easy control over his emotions was affected by the psychological suggestion contained in this word, which made her suddenly feel pregnant with her own life experience, looking at Yang Zi pitifully, expecting his sympathy and love.

Yang Zi was stunned when he heard Murong Xiaobei's words, but he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded and agreed.

Hearing that Yang Zi promised herself, Murong Xiaobei burst into tears and laughed like a child, if it weren't for Yang Zi being driving, it is estimated that she would have jumped up happily holding his hand, this is the first time since she lost her mother's love, lost her father, and lost her brother, she feels dependent, she is no longer alone, from today on, she has a brother.

In order to properly solve the matter of Zhang Qingtian and Murong Xiaobei, Yang Zi came to Zhanfei Group again, sat in front of Gu Yahua, and in front of her and Xu Zhanmei, Yang Zi told the two of them about Zhang Qingtian and Murong Xiaobao as it was.

Although these two women knew very well how Xu Zhanfei made his fortune, when they heard about the sins made by Xu Zhanfei ten years ago, they still couldn't help but sigh, especially Gu Yahua, her heart was very soft, so when she heard Yang Zi ask how they would deal with this matter, Gu Yahua said without hesitation: "Officer Yang, don't worry, since it is because of Zhanfei, we will definitely deal with it properly, one is Zhang Qingtian's future work, and the other is the issue of appeasement and compensation for him." As for Murong Xiaobao, this needs to be negotiated with his sister Murong Xiaobei to see what kind of compensation she can accept. ”

After speaking, Gu Yahua glanced at Xu Zhanmei, wanting to hear what else she had to say, Xu Zhanmei didn't expect that the original relationship between Murong Xiaobei and her own family would be so complicated, she was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, saying that she had no objection to Gu Yahua's decision.

After resigning from Zhanfei Group, Yang Zi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this matter has been successfully resolved, and now all the focus has to be placed on the missing florist, I don't know how Xiaopang and their investigation is going?
