"This should be an open secret in Xiajiapu, except for the person concerned, Xia Zhong doesn't know, I'm afraid all the people in Xiajiapu know a little bit about it, right?" Yu Yiping questioned Mrs. Xia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"There are no open secrets in Xia Jiapu, and I don't know as the patriarch of the Xia family in Xia Jiapu, I'm afraid you are also hearsay, right?"

"It can't be hearsay, it should be unintentionally known about this secret. I think this secret should be somewhat useful for the Xia family's murder case back then. Yu Yiping argued.

But Mrs. Xia didn't agree with his words, Mrs. Xia leaned on the Taishi's chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and slowly said: "I'm old, I can't remember many things clearly, and I'm tired, I'm going to rest, please do it!" ”

As soon as Mrs. Xia's words fell, the young man standing on the side got up to see off the guests. Yu Yiping had no choice but to leave.

"Master Xia, I'll come back another day to disturb, you can rest early!"

"Hmm." Mrs. Xia snorted in his nostrils, and closed his eyes again.

Out of the Xia family ancestral hall, Yu Yiping walked slowly in the direction of going back, although Mrs. Xia did not admit Long Wa's drunken mantra, but he was powerless to refute the source of this sentence. This must be an unspeakable thing, the people of Xiajiapu are secretive about it, a person who has been dead for many years, a long-dusted thing that everyone does not want to recall.

When he returned to Xia Zhong's house, Xia Zhong had been cooking for a long time. Everyone was waiting for Yu Yiping, who had not returned, to eat together.

"Detective Yu, where have you been? I haven't seen your shadow all afternoon, and I don't even bring you with me? Xia Zhong asked while eating.

"Oh! Just walk around, I also went to Shengping Lane today. ”

"Shengping Lane? Our Xia family ancestral hall is there, have you gone in to see it? Xia Zhong asked.

"I went in, and I chatted with the patriarch of your Xia family, Mrs. Xia." Yu Yiping pretended to be flat.

"Mrs. Xia is the living dictionary of our Xia family, and he can say a thing or two about our Xia family from ancient times to the present."

"Yes, Mrs. Xia is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I also asked about your family by the way. ”

Hearing Yu Yiping's words, Xia Zhong put down his chopsticks.

"Master Xia, he... Did you say anything? ”

"He didn't say anything more valuable, it's pretty much what you described."

Listening to Yu Yiping's words, Xia Zhong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and picked up chopsticks to eat again.

"I have also looked for Mrs. Xia many times, he did not approve of me investigating this case, he said that the matter has passed for so many years, and it can no longer be investigated, but I am still not convinced, I must investigate."

Yu Yiping looked at Xia Zhong's firm tone and was noncommittal. As a party to the case, he doesn't know a lot of inside stories, and even his life experience is kept in the dark by everyone, what will happen if he is let know his life experience? Will he be able to accept it?

After eating, Yu Yiping went to Xia Zhong's room to chat with him.

"Brother Xia, do you still have an impression of your mother?" Yu Yiping's words made Xia Zhong's eyes light up. He got up and went to the cupboard to find a cloth doll that was too old to make out the color, and rubbed it in his hand.

"I just remember that my mother sewed it for me by hand. When I was a kid, I played with it in my hand every day. Take it with you everywhere. But I can't remember my mother's appearance anymore. Speaking of this, the eyes of this dignified seven-foot man were moist.

"I took this doll to Xia Bo's house to escape the disaster. Xia Bo later hid it, and he was afraid that I would touch the scene. ”

"Brother Xia, it's all over, don't think about it anymore."

"Yes, it's been many years, and I've put this doll in the cupboard, and I never usually touch it." Xia Zhong got up and put the doll back in the cabinet.

"Brother Xia, do you have any relatives in your mother's family? Do they have dealings with you? ”

"Are you talking about the Gao family in Gaojia Village? I heard that my grandfather died after I was born, my grandmother died even earlier, my two uncles and my mother didn't have much contact, I have almost no impression of the Gao family, and I have never been to Gaojia Village since I was a child. ”

Xia Zhong's words made Yu Yiping unbelievable, an orphan's only remaining maternal grandfather's family had never been in contact with him. This really doesn't make sense in the simple Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

"So you grew up with Xia Bo alone."

"Yes, Xia Bo treats me like his own father, and it can be said that I have not been wronged at all." Recalling Xia Bo, Xia Zhong had an intimate expression on his face.

Looking at this man immersed in happy memories, Yu Yiping had mixed feelings, how could he let him know the inside story? It's better to keep this secret in your heart forever.
