Pokémon: I'm a detective, not the sixth one.

"The old Zhai couple? They're long gone! They've been gone for five or six years!"

The lady in her seventies hunched over and spoke to the middle-aged man in front of her.

“No, no more?”

The man was Zhai Wuji who rushed back to his hometown.

He was completely desperate at this moment, his mind was blank, and he was visibly panicking.

"Why is it gone?"

"Oh! It's an old age disease!"

The aunts looked completely accustomed to it, as if death from illness was no longer news at their age.

"Let me tell you, the old Zhai family used to have an eldest son who was very successful. He made a lot of money with his second son and other relatives! The whole family moved to the city in those years!

But I don't know what happened. I heard that the eldest son of the old Zhai family was engaged in illegal business, and as a result, many relatives were imprisoned! In the current popular terms, what is it called? Oh! Joint liability!

Since the boy got into trouble, the old Zhai couple moved back here. But at their age, how can they bear to see their child die? "

The old lady said this, her eyes rolled around twice, and after confirming that there was no one around, she leaned close to Zhai Wuji's ear and said, "Young man, you don't know that both of his sons have been sentenced to death! This is known to everyone here!"

Hearing this, Zhai Wuji stared with his eyes wide open, and was so angry that smoke was coming out of his nostrils!

"call……"

He forced himself to remain calm. Although this old lady was talking nonsense, she at least knew a lot about the situation. Zhai Wuji had to get more information from her!

"Aunt, where did you get this information? What happened to the two elders of the Zhai family?"

"Oh... don't mention it."

The aunt pouted, looking regretful.

"When the old couple heard that their two sons had been sentenced to death, the woman had a heart attack on the spot, and the man also had a cerebral hemorrhage not long after, and died quietly at home."

"Are you sure about this news? And, excuse me for asking, how do you know it so clearly?"

"Oh! It's not just me! Who among the neighbors around here doesn't know about the old Zhai family? After all, they were so prosperous before, but they fell into such a state overnight, and even their family was broken up! This happened right next to you, do you think the neighbors wouldn't be curious and ask about it?"

After saying that, the aunt glanced at Zhai Wuji, only to find that he looked pale and in very bad condition.

"Young man, are you okay? You asked so many questions to Auntie, are you related to the old Zhai family?"

Upon hearing this, Zhai Wuji nodded in a trance.

The aunt sighed and said, "Ah...the old couple have passed away for several years. It is a blessing for a younger generation to remember them. Young man, the aunt suggests that you contact his second daughter-in-law. It seems that after they passed away, it was the second daughter-in-law who took care of the funeral.

Although his second daughter-in-law has sold the house, can she at least ask for the location of the cemetery? When the time comes, you can go and make a grave, which can be regarded as expressing your love! "

Hearing this, Zhai Wuji was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the house in front of him had changed hands.

"Thank you, I'll go visit her right away!"

……

Two hours later, on the outskirts of the city.

"Zhai Wuji, I respect you as my elder brother, but I still ask you to stay away from our lives."

A middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing an apron, with large pieces of white flour on her hands.

"To be honest, if I knew it was you, I wouldn't have opened the door."

As soon as Zhai Wuji met his brother's wife, he was scolded.

"Xiao Jing, I'm sorry for visiting you without telling you in advance. Where's Wu Feng? Why isn't he home?"

Hearing this, the woman called Xiao Jing glared at him fiercely and said angrily: "Zhai Wufeng? Thanks to you, he has been dead for almost 6 years!"

"What!?"

Zhai Wuji couldn't believe it. He was immersed in the grief of his parents' death just a second ago, and now he was hit on the head with another blow, making it difficult for him to breathe!

"He was only in his early 6s 40 years ago! How can he just disappear like that?"

Zhai Wuji was very emotional, because that was his last direct relative in the world! Didn't God leave him even a little hope?

"Humph, isn't it your fault?!"

Xiaojing's tone was full of sarcasm, and she didn't even look at him.

"Ever since you brought him into the project and asked him to lead a project on his own, he has become completely arrogant! That damn guy made so much money in the early years, but I didn't see him bring much back home!

Zhai Wuji, don't think I don't know how much you play with your brother! He has learned all the bad habits from you, flirting with women everywhere, living a life of debauchery, and has long since ruined our family's life!"

"Xiao Jing, I'm sorry." Zhai Wuji bowed his head in front of his sister-in-law, but added unwillingly: "I am indeed responsible for what you said. But that was eight years ago. I remember Wufeng's sentence was very short. After all, it was only a minor responsibility and he would be released in less than two years.

What did he do after he got out? Why did he disappear just like that? ? "

"What did you do?" Xiao Jing glared at Zhai Wuji fiercely. "You have the nerve to ask, but I don't even have the nerve to tell you!"

"After he was released from prison, I thought he would turn back and live a normal life. But what happened? He made a bunch of bad friends in prison! He was completely ruined!"

"Why is it useless?" Zhai Wuji couldn't understand.

"Oh, your outstanding brother is so outstanding that he can't come down from the sky. Even though he just suffered a blow, he still thinks he is a big shot and looks down on those ordinary jobs in the market.

I told him to try to join an engineering team and start from the grassroots level. After all, he had a lot of experience in projects. After two years of hard work, he might be able to get a management position! But he didn't listen and had a big fight with me, saying that he had many ways to make money and didn't care about that little money!

And do you know what his so-called way to get rich is?"

When Xiao Jing said this, she looked at Zhai Wuji with eyes full of sarcasm.

"I was selling drugs with those short-lived guys I met in prison!!!"

"Drug?"

Zhai Wuji was stunned. He never expected Wufeng to do such a business!

"Humph! Do you think he is courting death?"

"I almost knelt down in front of him to persuade him, but he just wouldn't listen!"

"He knows that you were involved in similar things in the past and knows how lucrative this business is! But what era is it now? How strict is the country's control in this regard? Your brother was sentenced to death without any surprise!"

After hearing this, Zhai Wuji's brows were twisted into knots.

"Xiao Jing, how are you and your son doing now? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Oh, don't bother yourself." Xiao Jing said with disgust.

"Because of Wufeng's incident, your nephew has failed the trial. Now he has no chance of becoming a soldier or a civil servant. I am also approaching retirement, and I can only support him to go to college with this little salary.

Zhai Wuji, my mother and I have endured all these years, and we don't want to blackmail you now. I only have one request, and that is the house in your parents' hometown. Please don't fight with me. Your nephew will need a lot of money to buy a house when he gets married in the future, and I want to save this money for him.

In addition, even if you have the ability to make a comeback, please don't disturb our lives. After all, when you and your brother were at their most glorious, we mother and daughter didn't enjoy much.

I don’t want to have anything to do with your family anymore!”
