"Dad, who are they?" The girl asked Mr. Chen curiously, her big bright eyes flashing childishly.

"Oh, we're the cops in charge of your mother's case." Jiang Qiao didn't wait for Mr. Chen to speak, he opened his mouth first, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the girl's pink little face.

"Ah, brother and sister." When the girl heard this, her eyes gleamed timidly.

It seemed that it was too late to stop it, Mr. Chen reluctantly let them in, Jiang Qiao and Jiang Li sat on the sofa, and the girl sat next to her nervous father, a little cramped, lowering her head and playing with the doll in her arms. Jiang Qiao looked at the little girl in front of him who was even better looking than in the photo, and really didn't want to believe that this innocent child would be related to his mother's case.

For a while, everyone didn't speak, Jiang Qiao looked at Jiang Li sideways, he was a little absent-minded, his eyes looked at the second floor, it seemed that it was useless to expect him to speak first.

Really, he was the one who proposed it first.

Jiang Qiao cleared his throat, squeezed out a smile that he thought was kind, and took the lead in breaking the silent atmosphere: "What's your name, what grade is it this year?" ”

The girl looked at her father, saw that her father nodded, and then said, "My name is Chen Wuying, everyone calls me Xiao Wu, and I am already in the fourth grade." ”

"Ah, what a nice name, are you moving?" Jiang Qiao's voice remained peaceful, but his mind was already overturning and thinking about how to speak.

"Yes, my dad said we're going to Hong Kong, and from now on, I can go to Disney every week. And I don't have to learn dance every day in the future. Speaking of this topic, Xiao Wu was obviously happy, her eyes were full of anticipation, and two small dimples appeared on her pink little face.

"Ah, you don't like to dance, I heard that you are good at dancing, and you won an award." Speaking of dancing, Jiang Qiao's eyes couldn't help but look at the oil painting that occupied the entire wall, which was a mother's expectation for her daughter's future: "Your mother said, this is a painting that imagines you growing up and dancing in the future, how beautiful it is." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qiao regretted that she shouldn't have mentioned her mother in front of the child.

"I don't like dancing, I hate dancing the most. Hmph, it's not me who painted this picture. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu was half sad when she heard this, and her expression was full of disgust.

"Don't talk nonsense." Mr. Chen reprimanded Xiao Wu.

Maybe I didn't expect my father to reprimand me, Xiao Wu's cute little face grew up, pursed her mouth, and said angrily: "Originally, I saw my mother take a photo of her when she was young to that grandfather, and grandpa drew it according to that photo, I didn't lie." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Qiao's eyes widened in surprise: Is it Mrs. Chen herself who painted it?

Mr. Chen was a little embarrassed when he saw this, and lowered his head and reprimanded his daughter in a low voice: "Nonsense, how did my mother draw it for herself, she loves you so much, and she specially took you to Paris to experience the Broadway stage there." If you talk nonsense again, Dad is angry. ”

was reprimanded by her father one after another, Xiao Wu was even more indignant, her expression faded and she began to be coquettish, her voice suddenly rose an octave, and she screamed, "It's because my mother likes to dance, and it's not me." She asked me to go to dance class all day long, and she kept scolding me, and I got second place, and she also scolded me, it was annoying, and I hated my mother the most. ”

"That's my mother for your own good, she herself failed to learn dance when she was a child, and she wants to make up for what she lost to you, and wants to train you to be a first-class dancer, how can you say that."

"Mom suffered so much to give birth to you, and she almost died, because because because she gave birth to you, she also suffered from depression, you are not allowed to say that about Mom."

"If you do this again, Daddy won't take you to Disney." Mr. Chen was obviously angry and scolded his daughter sharply.

"Wow, Daddy doesn't love me anymore." Xiao Wu's big eyes were covered with a layer of mist, her small mouth was deflated, and tears flowed down her eyes, crying out of breath.

Facing the little daughter who had just lost her mother, if it weren't for the presence of outsiders, where would Mr. Chen be willing to reprimand her, and his daughter's tears immediately made him panic, so he had to raise his hand to surrender and persuade her.

made promises and apologizes, and finally stopped her daughter's heartbreaking tears.

It seemed that he couldn't continue to ask, Jiang Qiao had to pull Jiang Li to say goodbye, and before leaving, Xiao Wu, who had already stopped her tears, obediently sent them off at the door, and said sweetly: Goodbye, brother and sister.

"Whew!" Jiang Qiao stood outside and sighed heavily, "I didn't get any clues after working for a long time." ”

"The child is still so young, and it must be human, I don't think she did it. What went wrong? Jiang Qiao frowned, feeling that he was obviously very close to the truth, how could he seem to have returned to the original point.

"Hey, why don't you speak?" Jiang Qiao suddenly found that Jiang Li, who was beside him, hadn't spoken since he entered the room, and his silence was abnormal.

She looked up at Jiang Li, but found that he was turning his back, looking at the second floor of the small single-family building behind him with complicated eyes.

"What's wrong? Did you find something? Jiang Qiao was a little strange and patted him.

"Huh? Nothing, let's go. Jiang Li came back to his senses and strode forward.

"Well, you don't have to come up." When he was about to get downstairs, Jiang Li suddenly said, and without waiting for Jiang Qiao's reaction, he went upstairs by himself.

"Huh? What's the situation, it's only a little bit now? Jiang Qiao looked at Jiang Li's back in confusion.

"Hey, why did you come back so early today, I just happened to cook a meal, wash your hands quickly." Jiang's mother left the kitchen and saw that it was Jiang Qiao who came back, and happily turned around to fry her another egg.

"How's it, how does it taste, I haven't made this dish for a long time, your favorite food when you were a child." Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Qiao expectantly.

"Well, it's delicious." Jiang Qiao replied with a smile, turned his head and took a big sip of soup.

It's so salty!

"By the way, how is the case you are investigating?"

Meal time has always been a time for Jiang Qiao and her mother to gossip about various things, and of course, these recent complicated cases cannot be missed.

Jiang Qiao described today's scene in detail with Jiang's mother, and Jiang's mother said with emotion: "In the world, what mother doesn't love her daughter, my mother's former colleague Aunt Zhang, almost died in order to give birth to a child." ”

"Huh? Why? Why is it so scary to have a baby? Jiang Qiao took a big bite of food.

"At that time, the medical conditions were not good, and Aunt Zhang was pregnant with twins, but unfortunately, a child died in the stomach before it was born, and Aunt Zhang almost died. Therefore, every mother is giving birth to a child with her life, how can she not love it. Jiang's mother said with emotion.

"Twins, it's so pitiful, no wonder I thought she had been depressed when I was a child." Jiang Qiao pursed his lips and said regretfully.

Suddenly, her movements froze, her eyes widened, and she muttered, "Ah, how can this be? ”
