Chapter Twenty-Six: The Outsider
Ning Shuyi felt that this young host should not be ready to take over such a mess at all, but because of the suddenness of the incident, Hong Xinli died unexpectedly, and he was temporarily arrested, so he could only come up with such a few scenes in a hurry to deal with the matter.
Ning Shuyi turned off the radio function, this host didn't know if it was taboo or he was not familiar with Hong Xinli at all, and he didn't want to mention her more than half a word in the show, so it would be meaningless to continue to stay up late to listen to the speech of such a host who sprinkled chicken soup on the show, it was better to rest early.
Early the next morning, when Ning Shuyi woke up, Ning's father had already gotten up, made breakfast, and when he saw Ning Shuyi coming out of the room, he smiled and beckoned to her, signaling her to come over.
"I knew you were back yesterday!" He whispered to Ning Shuyi, "Huo Yan, this kid is the most diligent, no matter how late he comes back, after eating, he must wash all the dishes and chopsticks and give me neat yards!"
Come! Here's the breakfast I packed for the two of you this morning!
If you two are willing to eat upstairs, you can take it upstairs, and if you are in a hurry, take it to the unit to eat!
Your mother didn't have a good night's rest last night, and I won't let you two eat at home in the morning!"
"Hasn't my mom slept well in the past few years? Why can't I sleep well all of a sudden? What shows have you watched during the day that reflect the suffering of the world?" Ning Shuyi was a little puzzled, but he still habitually teased.
Father Ning poked her forehead with his finger: "It's a shame that your mother is asleep, otherwise listen to you tease her like this, beware of her being in a hurry with you!"
Okay, let's go, take breakfast and go to Xiao Huo, he must be up at this point, then he is not a child who sleeps lazy!"
"Oh, okay!" Ning Shuyi took the two breakfasts packed by Ning's father in his hand, and his eyes fell on the sofa in the living room, "Dad, did we have guests yesterday?"
Father Ning snorted: "I'm here, it's nothing, it's just that an acquaintance came to sit down, and it has nothing to do with you."
You're in the unit and have another case, right? Recently, it's freezing outside, you and Xiao Huo are running outside, pay attention to keeping warm, and eat on time.
At home, I should keep food for the two of you every day, and you two will come back if you can come back, if you are very tired and have no time, don't toss, call me what you want to eat, and Dad will do it for you!
Don't worry about family matters, it's all trivial, it's not a big deal!
Come on! Let's go! Something will get cold in a while!"
Ning Shuyi looked at Ning's father, nodded, and went upstairs with breakfast to find Huo Yan.
The two of them planned to visit the media company where Hong Xinli worked before her death, and they didn't have to go back to the unit, so it was naturally more convenient to eat breakfast upstairs at Huo Yan's side.
Ning Shuyi ate a little absent-mindedly at breakfast, but Huo Yan was still in the wind, with the eating speed he had cultivated in the army in the past, he quickly wiped out his share, and then asked Ning Shuyi while cleaning up the garbage in front of him, "What's going on at home?"
"You think so, too?" Ning Shuyi looked at him with some surprise.
Huo Yan pointed to the tableware and plastic bag in front of him: "If it weren't for something, Uncle wouldn't have let you bring these packs."
"He said my mom didn't sleep well last night, and my mom hasn't slept well in years." Ning Shuyi said to Huo Yan, "So I think it may be that someone came to our house yesterday, did something, or said something that made my mother secretly anxious."
"Would you like to ask?" Huo Yan didn't know how to deal with these problems, and the most unfamiliar thing in this world to him was probably how to deal with his relatives.
Ning Shuyi shook his head: "My dad can hide it from me, there must be my mother's instructions here, otherwise his mouth is not so tight."
And generally speaking, if my mother has made up her mind not to let anyone know, she will tell everyone who knows it as soon as possible.
In this world, what can make my mother worry until she has insomnia, and can make my father keep his mouth shut when he is busy with work on my side, must be related to my sister.
My sister can now add to the blockage in the house
There is only one root - Nie Guang.
So don't ask about it."
Huo Yan looked at Ning Shuyi with some puzzlement, and frowned, "Haven't you always disliked Nie Guang? Since they all make your uncle and aunt feel troubled and can't sleep well, you just ask?"
"My parents are affected because they feel sorry for their daughter, and I can't help them, and I can't change it." Ning Shuyi shook her head, "Although Ning Shuyue is my own sister, her marriage is a matter between her and Nie Guang, and my sister is an outsider."
After breakfast, the two drove straight to the media company where Hong Xinli worked before her death.
The main source of business of this media company is to cooperate with a radio station in the city to produce and broadcast some radio programs, some live and some recorded.
Therefore, the working hours of people here are not fixed, and it is not uncommon for people to come early and leave early, and to come late and leave late.
When the two of them came here, it was not yet eight o'clock in the morning, and when they changed into some units, the office should be deserted at this time.
When they came here, there were already a lot of people in the office here, and there were six or seven men and women sitting in the spacious room, most of them in their twenties and thirties, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
When Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan walked in, those people were chatting happily, and when they saw two strangers walking in, they all turned their eyes to the two of them.
"Who are you looking for?" A young man in his twenties closest to the door asked.
Ning Shuyi recognized his voice, it was the male host who replaced Hong Xinli the night before.
"Hello, excuse me." Ning Shuyi took out his ID, "We are criminal police officers from the Municipal Police Department, and we want to come over and learn from you about your colleague Hong Xinli."
As soon as she finished speaking, several people in the office immediately showed meaningful expressions, glanced at each other, and no one spoke.
"I don't think everyone has started work yet, and I hope to take advantage of this free time to cooperate with our work." Ning Shuyi saw that they were all so silent, but he was not half surprised, obviously they all knew about Hong Xinli's murder, so he had to speak again.
"Ah! It's time for me to go on the show!" When a male host in his thirties heard this, he immediately stood up as if he had some good excuse, "I'm sorry! I'm in charge of the morning rush hour traffic and news commentary for a while, and it's too late, so I have to go first!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly grabbed the water glass on the table and strode out of the office without looking back.
