3, Uncle Ou and the third child
Ye Hong's mother welcomed the arrival of her future son-in-law very much, and greeted Qiao Wei warmly after entering the house, and asked about the current situation of Qiao Wei's parents.
After some pleasantries, Ye Hong also introduced my situation to her mother.
After learning that I was currently working as a detective, Ye Hong's mother suddenly showed an embarrassed expression. She asked Ye Hongdao: "You brought your friend over to help find out the cause of your grandfather's death, right?" ”
"Of course! But my dad's attitude ...... "Ye Hong wanted to speak and stopped, obviously something happened during the time that Qiao Wei was treating his hand that we didn't know.
I hurriedly asked Ye Hong what was going on.
Ye Hong replied: "I went to see my father just now, and then asked my father if he had found out the cause of my father's death, but he told me that he didn't need to investigate, my father died of natural causes." I didn't believe it, so I wanted to give my grandfather a soul, but he stopped me desperately, and told me not to interfere in anything, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people in the mourning hall, I would definitely have a good theory with him. ”
After listening to Ye Hong's words, my first reaction was that Ye Hong's father murdered his own father, but I didn't say this in front of Ye Hong and her mother, but just said euphemistically: "Your father must have done that for a reason, maybe he was afraid of getting you into some trouble." ”
"If you're really in trouble, you should check it even more! I can't let my grandfather's death be unknown! It's infuriating! Ye Hong muttered angrily.
"So what now? Is it okay to bypass your dad? I asked.
"That's why I brought my mom here, my uncle and second uncle are all in the same group as my dad." Ye Hong complained, and then took her mother's hand and sat on the edge of the wooden bed together.
Then Ye Hong's mother also showed her previous embarrassed expression again, and after hesitating for a while, she said: "I don't know if I should tell you this, Hong, I think you should still listen to your father." ”
"Mom~ You won't stand on my dad's side too, will you? Besides, I didn't let you do anything particularly embarrassing, that is, whether my father had done anything special during this time, didn't we all say it just now! ”
"But...... But I think what your friend said may have a point, and your dad probably doesn't want to get you into trouble. Ye Hong's mother said as she turned her gaze to me.
I didn't want Ye Hong to point the finger at me, so I hurriedly waved my hand and made a stand: "I said this, but I'm not against Ye Hong finding out the truth!" If the cause of the old man's death is indeed strange, then Ye Hong definitely has the right to investigate! ”
"I also think we should find out the reason, didn't the police give any answer?" Qiao Wei also asked.
"Saying that it was a natural death, there is nothing to investigate, but ...... Hey, you all eat this line of food, and you must know that some things here are not so simple......" Ye Hong's mother began to hesitate again in the middle of her words, it seemed that she did know something.
"Mom~ Don't sell it, please, hurry up, do you know something?" Ye Hong asked coquettishly as she shook her mother's arm.
Ye Hong's mother finally couldn't resist her daughter's attack, and after sighing, she finally spoke: "Some time ago, your two uncles came to find your grandfather and showed your grandfather a dagger. After that, your father suddenly became very eccentric, stopped talking to people, stopped practicing boxing, and stuffed himself in the treasure room at home all day. ”
"Uncle Ou? Is that the twin Uncle Ou who robbed the tomb? Ye Hong's eyes widened and asked.
"Yes, Ou Jiji, Ou Jichu."
"And where's the dagger?!" Ye Hong asked.
Ye Hong's mother shook her head, and then said, "Your uncle, they seem to have put away the dagger, I don't know where to put it." A few days ago, your father gathered the whole family to talk about the will, and then he called your uncle, second uncle, and your father together, as if to talk about the dagger. ”
"There's a curse on the dagger?" Ye Hong asked.
"I don't know, your dad didn't tell me, and I didn't ask him."
"Then I'll ask him now!" After Ye Hong finished speaking, she got up and walked to the door, her mother stretched out her hand to stop but it was too late. Ye Hong ran to the door in three steps, opened the door and rushed out.
Ye Hong's mother seemed to want to chase after her, but after hesitating for a while, she sat back on the bed and sighed heavily.
The Ye family is definitely a big and wealthy family, and marrying into this kind of family as a daughter-in-law must definitely be careful and tolerant everywhere. The so-called bigger the portal, the more rules there are, especially the Ye family still started by chasing corpses, there are definitely some things that can't be asked, Ye Hong's mother is a foreigner, in this case, she will definitely have concerns, and she is naturally not as confident as Ye Hong in speaking and doing things, which I can completely understand.
Qiao Wei obviously understood the difficulties of his future mother-in-law, and he hurriedly reassured: "You don't have to worry too much, Ye Hong has his own way of doing things." ”
"Hey, her child sometimes loves to be more serious, and she doesn't listen to others no matter how she agrees. Qiao Wei, if you help me persuade her, let her stop mixing this matter, it must be reasonable for her father not to let her take care of this matter, in fact, as soon as the people of the Ou family came, I knew that something was going to happen, and I didn't want Xiaohong to follow suit. ”
Ye Hong's mother mentioned the Ou family again, and I was also very interested in the "Uncle Ou" who robbed the tomb.
"Auntie, the two people surnamed Ou you mentioned, they specialize in tomb robbing?" I asked.
"Hmm. They are the same generation as Ye Hong's father, and I heard Ye Hong and her father say that the Ou family has been robbing tombs since the previous generation, as if it is because their family always does this lack of morality in digging graves, so as long as there is a new Ding in the family, someone will inevitably die. When the two brothers of the Ou family were born, their mother died of hemorrhage, and then not long after their father also died, anyway, it was very evil. ”
"So you also think that Old Man Ye's death is related to the daggers brought by the two brothers of the Ou family?"
"I don't dare ask about it, but I think it should be. By the way, once I brought food to Ye Hong's grandfather, and I saw him staring at the dagger and chattering "third" and "third", feeling as if he had seen that dagger before, maybe he also robbed the tomb with the Ou family in his early years. ”
"The third ...... It's Grandpa Ye Hong's brother, right? I asked.
Ye Hong's mother shook her head and said: "I really haven't seen anyone else in the Ye family, Ye Hong's grandfather doesn't seem to have any other brothers, he has two sisters, but now they have also passed away." ”
"It may not be a brother. The Ye family was not a corpse gang in the past, maybe it was a ranking in the gang or something, the Ye family is the boss, and there are the second and third children behind them, and the person Ye Hong's grandfather is talking about may be a former member of the corpse gang. I speculated.
Ye Hong's mother did not comment on my inference, and at this time, the door of the room was pushed open again, Ye Hong puffed out his cheeks and entered the house angrily, and then slammed the door and said, "I'm angry!" My dad didn't tell me anything, so I went back to school in Shenzhen. Also, my dad said you, Qiao Wei. ”
"Me?" Qiao Wei pointed to himself and asked, "What did you say about me?" ”
"He asked me to tell you to change your clothes and then go to my grandfather's spirit to worship, and basically you are a member of our family. Also, about your fight in the yard, he said he wanted to talk to you. ”
