Xu Tianbao recalled the scene at that time, and his small body still couldn't help but tremble.

She remembered her mother slumping on the ground, her face pale and bruises and blood stains on the corners of her mouth and eyes.

The little brother lay on his mother's body, crying vigorously, and the father pointed at his mother and younger brother, scolding and foaming.

She was full of tears, but she bit her lip desperately, not daring to cry out loud. Because she knew that if she dared to let out a little cry, her father's fist would swing at her.

Later, my father vented all his anger and went to the mahjong parlor to play mahjong.

Mom was still slumped on the ground, unable to move.

She went to help her mother, but because she didn't have enough strength, she couldn't help her.

With red eyes, her mother told her to go downstairs to room 1706 to find Uncle Wang to help them.

Uncle Wang downstairs came, and without saying a word, he sent his mother to the hospital. And also let his friend, a young aunt, stay behind to take care of her and her brother.

When Han Ce saw Xu Tianbao say this, his body kept trembling slightly, which showed how big the shadow this incident had on her. But according to her description, Jiang Lili was beaten by Xu Mo only after mentioning the divorce.

If Xu Mo is really the murderer, then this incident may be the fuse. caused Xu Mo to bury a gap in his heart and a fuse of murderous intent.

He continued to ask softly, "Tianbao, tell Uncle when did this happen?" ”

"It was in September, when I had just started school."

"Uncle Wang on the 17th floor sent your mother to the hospital, does your father know?"

Xu Tianbao nodded, "When my father came back from playing mahjong, he found that his mother was not at home, and after knowing that it was Uncle Wang who sent his mother to the hospital, he didn't say anything and went back to his room to sleep." ”

"And then, isn't your father angry?"

Xu Tianbao shook his head, "I don't know." Dad would scold when he was angry, but he didn't scold me and my brother that day. My mom had broken ribs and was in the hospital for two weeks. But my dad didn't go to see my mom.

Uncle Wang took my younger brother to the hospital every day to accompany my mother, and my mother said that she should thank Uncle Wang after being discharged from the hospital. But after my mother was discharged from the hospital, she cut off contact with Uncle Wang. ”

"Why?"

"I asked my mother, and she said it was for Uncle Wang's good."

"And what happened to your parents?"

"I feel that my father doesn't like my mother very much, and he always likes to say nasty things to humiliate her and make her sad. Mom said that she only had me and my brother anymore, and she hoped that the two of us could grow up carefree, so she would not divorce Dad. ”

"Then who else doesn't like your mom besides your dad?"

Xu Tianbao said a little sadly, "My grandmother and grandfather don't like my mother. When my mother gave birth to my younger brother, my grandmother came to my house, and during that time, she scolded my mother all day long, saying that my mother thought that she was great if she gave birth to a younger brother, and always showed her face secretly.

Grandma would scold her mother with nasty words. Mom sometimes retorts when she gets angry, but most of the time she doesn't say anything.

Uncle, in fact, I would prefer my mother to be with Uncle Wang, at least at that time, my mother had a smile on her face. And my uncle never scolded my mother, would not let my mother shed tears, and often bought food for me and my brother. I like him more than I like my dad. ”

Han Ce's eyes lit up, and he asked again, "Do your parents know that you have this idea?" ”

Xu Tianbao lowered his head, "Mom, she doesn't know." But Dad knew. I wrote a lot about my mother in my diary, and I also wrote that my wish was that my mother and Uncle Wang would be together...... Then one day I found my dad looking at my diary. ”

Hearing this, Han Ce made a reluctant request, "Tianbao, I know that the diary is a very private thing, and it is your secret. You want to keep your secrets safe from anyone else.

But my uncle thinks that your diary contains something about your mother, and it is very likely that there are clues to your mother's murder, after all, you know best what your mother does every day and who she comes into contact with every day.

If you don't mind, Uncle wants you to give your journal to Uncle and Uncle wants to find clues from it.

Uncle can assure you that I won't read anything but about your mother. Even if I read it, I immediately forget about it. ”

Xu Tianbao looked at Han Ce and saw the request in his deep eyes, she hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement. She believed that the uncle in front of her really wanted to find out who killed her mother, so she was willing to give him the diary.

"Uncle, you wait for me, I'll go back to the classroom and get the diary."

Xu Tianbao took the diary to Han Ce.

Han Ce was grateful to her.

Thinking of Shen Jikang's last questioning, Xu Tianbao lied, and he said again, "Tianbao, you tell your uncle that when the policeman uncle came to you for questioning last time, why didn't you tell the truth?" You lied to him and said that your parents love each other very much, did someone teach you to say that? ”

Xu Tianbao opened his big innocent eyes, and his eyes were faintly full of nervousness and fear.

Han Ce stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder gently, "Don't be nervous, I asked you this question, I didn't want to pursue anything, I just wanted to know, did someone teach you to lie?" ”

Xu Tianbao thought for a while before saying, "Actually, my father asked me to tell the police like that." And the uncle who came last time was not as good-looking as you, he looked a little fierce, and I didn't think he was good, so I didn't tell him the truth.

Last night, my dad and my grandma were discussing finding a poor and ugly stepmother for me and my brother, because they thought my mom was a mean woman. And I was born of a cheap woman who lost money, so I should let my poor and ugly stepmother take care of me.

I don't want a stepmother, I hope that uncle, you will find the murderer of my mother soon, and prove that my mother is not a mean woman, so that my father will not find me a stepmother. ”

Listening to Xu Tianbao's words, Han Ce felt very uncomfortable.

What a dereliction of duty dad and grandmother, the child's mother was killed, and the bones were not cold, so they discussed finding her stepmother in front of the child.

The child must be very sad in his heart.

He couldn't help but gently hug Xu Tianbao with emotion, and then solemnly promised her, "Tianbao, don't worry, uncle will definitely find out the murderer who killed your mother." ”

Xu Tianbao, whose eyes were still moist, finally showed a shallow smile.

Han Ce stroked her hair and admonished again, "Tianbao, you don't want to tell your father and your grandmother about the matter I came to you today, and the same is true about the diary." It's a secret between me and you, and I can't let a third person know, you know? ”

Xu Tianbao nodded obediently.

She didn't know why she couldn't tell her dad and grandma about it, but she was willing to trust the uncle.
