Chapter IX: Visits and Inquiries
Xu heard the sound of the quarrel, Li Haiyang's grandmother walked out of the house with the key, looked at Old Man Li and said, "You be quiet, what are you arguing about!" I'm afraid that my neighbors won't hear it, and I won't be able to say it well. ”
Old Man Li turned his head angrily and said, "What do the old ladies know, go to the house." ”
Grandma Li Haiyang glanced at him: "As far as you know, I think you are an old fool!" ”
Then he looked at Wu Rui and smiled: "It's a comrade policeman, right?" ”
"Hmm." Wu Rui nodded and said, "Hello, you are Li Haiyang's grandmother." I want to ask him about something. ”
Seeing Li Haiyang's grandmother walking towards the gate with the key, Old Man Li glared and shouted, "Why are you going?" ”
Not to be outdone, Grandma Li Haiyang glared at the old man and said, "Why am I going?" I'm going to open the door. ”
Old Man Li angrily stomped his feet and turned his face to the side with his hands, but he didn't step forward to stop him.
Li Haiyang's grandmother came to the gate and said apologetically: "Comrade, you will wait!" ”
As he spoke, he took the big black dog with the chain in tow, scolded and pulled him to Old Man Li, handed him the dog chain and said, "Take it, go and tie the dog up." ”
Although Old Man Li was very angry, he still took the dog chain, led the dog and turned around and walked towards the kennel on the east side of the door.
Grandma Li Haiyang came to the door, and said apologetically while opening the door: "My old man's temper is like this, stubborn and hard, but he usually doesn't do this, he is angry with the ocean, don't be the same as him." ”
"It's okay, I can understand, it's uncomfortable for anyone to put this on anyone, isn't it." Wu Rui said openly.
"Just understand." After Grandma Li Haiyang opened the door, she turned around and walked towards the courtyard with Wu Rui, and asked with a heavy heart: "I heard that the murderer is the tattered king?" Is it true? ”
Wu Rui did not hide this: "It should be him, and today's official inspection report can be down for final determination." ”
"If the murderer can be caught, Xiaoying can rest in peace." The old lady with her back to Wu Rui was a little choked up.
When the two came to the door, Li Haiyang's grandmother wiped her tears, opened the door and beckoned Wu Rui to enter the house, but Li Haiyang's grandfather squatted outside and refused to come in.
Wu Rui opened his mouth to persuade: "The old man enters the house!" Don't catch a cold on a cold day. ”
Old Man Li stubbornly refused to enter the house, and Mrs. Li said angrily: "Don't pay attention to him, let him stay outside if he is not too cold, just wake up." ”
Wu Rui couldn't enter the West House with Mrs. Li, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Haiyang curled up in the corner with his hands on his knees, Mrs. Li looked at the poor child, her eyes were red and said: "This child is stimulated, he can't sleep well at night, he always yells, and he shrinks on the kang during the day and doesn't speak, what a sin." ”
Wu Rui knows that this is a person's stress response after being stimulated by a huge stimulus, and it is normal for such a young child to have such a reaction after being stimulated by such a large amount, and it takes slow psychological counseling to recover.
Mrs. Li said, "You ask first, I'll send him a piece of clothing." ”
It seems that this old lady Li is a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person, Wu Rui sat on the kang and looked at Li Haiyang and said softly: "Haiyang, don't be afraid, the matter has passed, and we have caught the murderer who hurt you." ”
Li Haiyang's body trembled when he heard this, and he shrank back into the corner of the wall, which was a reaction of self-protection and rejection.
Wu Rui frowned slightly, and continued to ask softly tentatively, "Do you know the Tattered King?" ”
Li Haiyang's body trembled even more, and he buried his head in his lap without saying a word.
"Don't be afraid, we've caught him, and he won't hurt you anymore."
Li Haiyang curled up in the corner, trembling and silent, like a flower in the wind, shivering in the cold wind.
At this time, Mrs. Li returned to the house, looked at Li Haiyang's frightened appearance, quickly took off her shoes and put on the kang, held him in her arms and comforted him, and tears unconsciously flowed out again.
It seemed that there was nothing to ask about the situation in front of him, so Wu Rui stopped asking questions and motioned to Mrs. Li to go to the outhouse by herself, so as not to let Li Haiyang be afraid of him.
After Li Haiyang's mood calmed down, Mrs. Li went down to the outhouse, Wu Rui said: "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid I can't ask anything from him, and I won't tell you that although we have locked up the suspect now, we already have enough evidence to prove him."
But his whereabouts are unknown now, but you can rest assured that we will issue a national arrest warrant and will definitely arrest him as soon as possible, and there are some things I want to ask you about. ”
"Ask me anything! As long as I know, I will not hide it from you. Mrs. Li said with a heavy face.
The two came to the East House as if they were chatting, and told Liu Ying and Li Haiyang about the situation, Wu Rui was afraid that Mrs. Li would be disgusted and nervous, so he did not turn on the portable recorder openly, but secretly opened it without her knowledge.
The investigation learned that the old couple didn't know that Liu Ying was doing that kind of business beforehand, and they didn't know what she had to do with the Tattered King, but it is worth saying that although Liu Ying was doing shady things, she was still very good to Li Haiyang.
It can be said that she buys whatever she wants, never treats him badly, and has never heard of beating and scolding him, at this point she has nothing to say as a mother.
Treat them very well, every New Year's holiday will bring gifts to see them, Mrs. Li has also persuaded her, let her take advantage of the youth to remarry, if you are afraid of inconvenience with the child, let the child let them old couple to feed.
But Liu Ying refused, she said that she would wait for the ocean to be sensible, so she took the child for many years, and there were many people in the village who chewed their tongues and gossip, but the old couple firmly believed that she was not such a person.
Usually the old couple often visit them, and when Mr. Li drinks, he always likes to talk about his son, which is a blessing from the previous life, and he has such a good daughter-in-law, but it is a pity that others have a short life. Maybe it's because of the deep love and hatred that Old Man Li will have the current reaction.
The only fly in the ointment is that the child has gradually become less talkative since his father's death, and his personality has become more and more introverted, and it is said that not only with outsiders and their relatives.
In addition, during the winter and summer vacations, he often ran ten miles away, and ten miles away was the place where the village cemetery was located, where the dead people in the village would be buried, and his father's grave was also there.
The family thought that this child had fallen into evil, and they had seen several 'great immortals', but he still always liked to run somewhere, probably because he missed his father, and he would follow him after a long time, as long as nothing happened.
Mrs. Li is very talkative, she is a typical Northeast aunt, she belongs to the kind that can't close as soon as she opens the chatterbox, Wu Rui is not annoyed, just sit beside her and listen to her patiently, so the two of them chatted for more than an hour.
Wu Ruiwan refused the invitation to have lunch at Mrs. Li's house, and was sent out of the door by her, and as soon as she walked a few steps, she was stopped by Mr. Li who was squatting under the east window and smoking.
Mrs. Li thought that Old Man Li was going to embarrass Wu Rui, so she immediately glared and said, "What are you going to do." ”
Old Man Li stood up and ignored her, stepped forward and looked at Wu Rui expressionlessly and said, "You must help me catch the one who suffered a thousand knives." After saying that, he went into the house without looking back.
Mrs. Li showed a pleased smile on her face: "I know that this old thing is not good-mouthed, anyway, I don't care what others say, and I don't care what Xiaoying does, I think Xiaoying is a good girl." ”
Wu Rui immediately assured: "Auntie, don't worry, we will definitely catch Wang Liyong as soon as possible and let the dead rest in peace." ”
"Well, I trust you." Mrs. Li said sincerely.
In the afternoon, Wang Liyong's DNA test report came out, which matched the DNA of the murderer found at the scene, so Hu Bo, director of the county public security bureau, immediately reported to apply for the issuance of a national wanted warrant, and Wang Liyong, the culprit of the 113 cases, was arrested nationwide.
After the murder was solved, the group returned to the city and continued the work at hand, and the time passed day by day, and the New Year arrived as scheduled.
On the day of the Chinese New Year, Wu Rui and Liu Xueli's parents sat together, and the two old people decided to marry the two.
So in the following days, the two began to prepare for a series of things such as decorating a new house, taking wedding photos, customizing wedding dresses, customizing wedding rings, finding a wedding company, booking a hotel, etc., and invitations were distributed one by one.
Wu Rui looked at the address book on his mobile phone, and when he saw Chen Man's name, Wu Rui hesitated for a long time.
Chen Man is the daughter of Wu Rui's mentor Chen Jinyi, Wu Rui has always known that she likes herself, and she has never hidden it, but he is a brother and sister to her.
Wu Rui finally dialed her number, and after the phone was answered, he heard a familiar voice full of surprise and said: "Senior brother, why did you remember to call me, it's so rare, do you miss me?" ”
Wu Rui hesitated a little and said straight to the point: "I'm getting married, so I solemnly call you to inform you, and inform you too late, for fear that you will complain about me at that time." ”
After the other party was silent for a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Congratulations! What day is the date set? I'll definitely go when the time comes. ”
"June 1st is the right day, so you have to come early." Wu Rui said.
"Sixty-one." Chen Man said with a smile: "It's a very memorable day, rest assured that I will definitely arrive early, right, did you choose a bridesmaid?" ”
"Xiaoli has already found it." Wu Rui replied.
"I'm going to be your bridesmaid, and if you don't promise me, I won't go." Chen Man said uncharacteristically and coquettishly.
Wu Rui said in embarrassment: "But I have already found it, and I am afraid it will not be good if it is temporarily canceled." ”
"I don't care, I just want to be your bridesmaid, you can do it." Chen Man had no intention of compromising at all.
Wu Rui thought about it and smiled bitterly: "Then I'll discuss it with Xiaoli." ”
Seeing that Wu Rui had compromised, Chen Man no longer blindly messed around.
After chatting a few more words, Chen Man reluctantly hung up the phone, and at the moment when the call ended, tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably, and at this moment she remembered the first time she saw her.
