Because Du Xiaobai sorted out the information in an orderly manner, his work handover did not take too long. At noon, Zhu Fenfang rarely invited guests to dinner, and some people who were usually close to Du Xiaobai gathered together to practice for Du Xiaobai.

During the banquet, the great beauty Su Xin did not say a word from beginning to end, and always drank glass after glass alone, and the cold aura made everyone dare not step forward to ask more.

And Zhu Fenfang, who has always had a large amount of money, soon got drunk, and declared in tears that Du Xiaobai was the best employee in Huaguo, and if there was an afterlife, he must be treated well.

Zheng Shuang, who was also drunk, desperately hugged Du Xiaobai's calf, and cried with his eyes closed.

In less than half an hour, the whole table was lying down, except for Du Xiaobai.

Du Xiaobai, who poured two catties of liquor, was still very sober, which made Du Xiaobai, who usually gets drunk after one or two and can sleep with a dog, very surprised, just like his flamboyant tongue when he resigned this morning.

Du Xiaobai shook his head, thinking that he probably let go of all his defenses, so he would have a different performance. He didn't think much about it, rubbing his faintly aching head with one hand, and taking out his mobile phone with the other hand to call a colleague to pick him up.

Before he put down the phone, the phone suddenly rang again, Du Xiaobai picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and said, "Hey, hello." ”

"Hey, are you Mr. Du Xiaobai?" an unfamiliar voice came from the other side of the phone.

Du Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Are you?"

"I'm Officer Wang Li of the Third Detachment of the Municipal Criminal Police, may I ask if you are Mr. Du Xiaobai?" The unfamiliar voice raised some decibels compared to just now.

"I'm Du Xiaobai. Are you from the criminal police team?, is there anything wrong?" Du Xiaobai was a little strange why the criminal police team would find him.

"There was a case at the Yuan Ye Clinic on Broad Road last night, and we would like to ask you to assist in the investigation. The voice on the phone said.

"Yuan Ye's clinic, isn't that Yuan Ye's clinic?" Du Xiaobai felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"Mr. Du, it's not convenient to say on the phone, you better come over and talk about it, we are in Yuan Ye Clinic now. After speaking, the phone was hung up, leaving Du Xiaobai with a blank face.

More than half an hour later, in Yuan Ye's clinic, Du Xiaobai stared at the corpse covered with a white cloth on the ground and stood for five minutes. When he trembled and tried to pull the white cloth open, Wang Li grabbed his arm.

"Mr. Du, the deceased was severely beaten and abused before his death, many organs have been removed, and the physical damage is very serious, I hope you can be mentally prepared. Wang Li said solemnly.

Du Xiaobai paused, took a deep breath, and pulled open the white cloth.

After just one glance, Du Xiaobai ran to the side and vomited.

Wang Li walked up to Du Xiaobai and patted him on the back and asked, "Is it him?"

Du Xiaobai leaned on the wall with both hands and retched for a while, his head began to ache again, and after a long time, he slowly stood up, his face was flushed, panting, and nodded with difficulty.

After Yuan Ye's body was removed, Wang Li said: "We contacted his family, and his wife has returned to her hometown with the child, and she will probably not be back until tomorrow." The last contact on his mobile phone was you, and you were originally a major suspect, but our case-handling personnel got strong evidence and ruled out your suspicion. ”

"What evidence, what can I help with, Officer Wang, just say. Du Xiaobai rubbed his forehead and said.

"Yes. Our surveillance staff found that all the cameras in the vicinity were damaged, but luckily there was a camera in a 24-hour convenience store opposite the clinic that was facing the clinic entrance, probably because it was inside the store. According to the footage, we saw that you left the clinic with a girl in your arms at around 4:20 p.m. yesterday. Half an hour later, a bald man knocked on the door, and Mr. Yuan opened the door and invited him to enter. At around two o'clock in the morning today, the bald man left the clinic. Our coroner speculated that Mr. Yuan's time of death was between 1:30 a.m. and 2:00 a.m., so it is highly likely that this bald man killed Mr. Yuan. This is the video of the bald man, and I would like to ask Mr. Du to see if he can help us with some useful information. Wang Li took out a laptop and started playing a video.

Du Xiaobai carefully looked at the end from the beginning, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know this person." ”

Wang Li nodded silently and asked, "Then, Mr. Du, you are the last person to see Mr. Yuan besides the suspect, did you find anything unusual at that time?" or are there any clues in your impression, such as whether Mr. Yuan owes money or has an enemy?"

Du Xiaobai carefully searched his memory, shook his head and said: "I haven't seen Yuan Ye for many years, when I brought a friend to see the doctor, I think Yuan Ye is very normal, and he is very happy, not like he has troubles." Yuan Ye doesn't look like someone who will have enemies. He's a kind-hearted person, a bookworm. He's the kind of guy who'd rather stay at home and read than go out shopping. So I can't understand why someone would want to hurt him, and he still hates him so much. ”

Wang Li asked a few more questions after that, and felt that there were no useful clues, so he asked Du Xiaobai to go back first, he still had a lot of work to do.

It was snowing outside the clinic again, and Du Xiaobai stood in the heavy snow for a long time, and it was hard for him to believe the fact that Yuan Ye was no longer there.

He thought about it later, he was about to go to the underworld, and he might be able to meet Yuan Ye there, but he had to ask An Qi about this. Thinking of Angel, he thought that Angel might still be hungry at this time, so he hurriedly took a taxi back to the hotel.

Angel is still asleep, according to what she said before, from the underworld to the world, the body will become lighter, and the speed of action will be faster, but the body is easily tired, and if she is injured, she will sleep more than ordinary people.

Du Xiaobai didn't bother her, after putting the food he bought on the table, he turned around and walked out of the hotel, he still had his father-in-law and mother-in-law to explain.

In fact, on this day, he was thinking about how to explain to the second elder that he was going to the underworld. The father-in-law and mother-in-law are both retired teachers, this kind of cow ghosts and snake gods that they don't believe in, let alone old intellectuals like them who have taught and educated people all their lives.

Sure enough, after listening to Du Xiaobai's words, the first reaction of the old father-in-law Shao Zhiwen was to touch his head to see if he was sick, and the second reaction was to see if he had any mental problems through various tests.

After checking that his body was indeed fine, the old father-in-law was sure that Du Xiaobai had a new love, so he wanted to find an excuse to leave them, and during this period, his mother-in-law Cui Qiaolian was always silent.

It wasn't until Shao Zhiwen began to think of his daughter Shao Qingqing's hard life that Cui Qiaolian finally spoke and drove Shao Zhiwen downstairs to play chess.

Cui Qiaolian closed the door and asked softly, "Xiaobai, have you eaten?"

"No, Mom. Du Xiaobai replied.

"Then what do you want to eat?" Cui Qiaolian tied her apron around her waist.

"Mom, just egg fried rice. Du Xiaobai took a banana from the table and peeled it.

Cui Qiaolian pursed her lips and smiled slightly, opened the refrigerator and took two eggs, set up the stove, and said lightly: "Your father, he has recently retired and made trouble for him, always talking nonsense, you ignore him." ”

"Mom, I knew my dad when I was wearing open crotch pants, and I know what his temper is. What I'm talking about, it's really not easy to believe, to be honest, I'm also playing drums in my heart now, but then again, in fact, my dad is called a normal reaction, but Mom, why are you so calm?" Du Xiaobai finished eating the banana, walked to the kitchen, squatted on the ground, put on the trash can, and began to help peel green onions.

Cui Qiaolian knocked the eggs into the bowl, put a spoonful of salt, and stirred them with chopsticks. Looking at the egg liquid in the bowl that was spinning quickly and couldn't tell the start and the end, Cui Qiaolian said softly: "A few days ago, I had a dream and dreamed of Qingqing. ”

Du Xiaobai, who was peeling green onions, stopped all his movements in an instant, he squatted on the ground and did not look back.

Cui Qiaolian looked at Du Xiaobai's back and asked softly, "Do you know what Qingqing is like now?"

Du Xiaobai looked back at Cui Qiaolian, with burning tears in his eyes.

Cui Qiaolian saw Du Xiaobai's expression, smiled, and continued: "Qingqing, she has now become a little bird with blue light all over her body, but she is beautiful! She told me that she is doing well underneath, and her two children are also very good, and she also said that there is an old woman who will teach the two of them to learn knowledge every day, and they will ...... as soon as they teach."

Speaking of this, Cui Qiaolian couldn't say any more, her lips trembled, she held the stove with one hand, wiped the tears on her face with the other, and tried to calm her mood.

Du Xiaobai was squatting beside him in a daze, pinching the green onions that had not yet been peeled in his hands.

Cui Qiaolian eased her emotions, exhaled a sour breath, and then took the unpeeled green onion in Du Xiaobai's hand, and finished peeling the fried rice.

Stir-frying the rice, Cui Qiaolian continued: "Xiaobai, as you said, you have known our family since childhood, and our family has known you and your parents for a long time. We've watched you grow up and know what kind of kid you are. Therefore, we will rest assured that Qingqing will be handed over to you. Later, Qingqing saw that your parents left early, and risked their lives to inherit the family for you...... But this path was chosen by herself, and she can't blame anyone, and we have never blamed you. Not to mention, in the past eight years, not only have you not married or married, but you have not even talked about a partner, but you have also supported us two bad old men and bad old women as our own fathers and mothers. So, ah......"

Cui Qiaolian turned off the fire, the rice was ready, and handed a bowl to Du Xiaobai, with tears in her eyes, she looked out the window and said, "So, Mom believes what you say." Mom also believes that in this world, there must be a place where our Qingqing is still happily alive. ”

Du Xiaobai took the egg fried rice, sat down slowly, picked up the chopsticks, and ate it quietly, with tears in his eyes.
