When Zou Ping called out "Dad", his face turned extremely ugly and even a little ferocious. Jiang Jincheng and Xiao Ling looked at each other and it was obvious that both of them noticed something abnormal.

The corners of Zou Ping's mouth twitched, as if he was suppressing his temper because there were guests in the room. He forced a smile and his hand holding the old man's was trembling.

"Mom...you are so old and confused...Dad has been dead for many years, I am your son..."

I don’t know if it was Jiang Jincheng’s illusion, but when Zou Ping said “I am your son”, the voice sounded more like a sinister warning than a gentle reminder.

What warning? Warning the old man not to call the wrong name next time?

The old woman seemed to be pinched by Zouping and her face showed pain and grievance. She looked at Zouping timidly and called out softly: "Dad..."

Zou Ping's mouth muscles were twitching. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted the old woman's hand: "Mom, I have guests here... I'll push you to the house to rest first, and come back to see you later..."

Although the old man's eyes were clear, they were extremely dull and he spoke very slowly. It seemed as if he had been thinking for a long time before he could squeeze the words out of his mouth.

Zouping ignored her and pushed her into the house and even locked the door.

"call…"

Zou Ping's slightly ferocious face gradually softened, and he looked at Jiang Jincheng and his face regained its warm and simple smile.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you...my mother..."

"Oh, I understand... eh... Alzheimer's disease, that's what happens when you get old! My mom used to be like this, she wouldn't recognize anyone like a child, and she would urinate and defecate anywhere. To be honest, it's really a headache to have an elderly person like this at home."

Jiang Jincheng naturally helped him smooth things over. Zou Ping was stunned for a moment and then immediately responded with a smile: "Yes... He has had Alzheimer's disease for many years... Alas... It's also quite uncomfortable for him to call me dad when he looks at me..."

Jiang Jincheng pretended to comfort him and then looked at Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling immediately understood and said, "Uncle Zou, we met another villager here yesterday. He said that he came here because his family had to pay for his wife's cancer treatment and his family's savings were emptied. After coming here, he was cured by the immortals here."

"Uncle Zou, your mother's Alzheimer's disease can be cured. After all, cancer can be cured. Why don't you give it a try, Uncle Zou?"

Zou Ping's body trembled violently, and then he opened his mouth for a long time without saying anything. Jiang Jincheng slapped Xiao Ling's head and scolded him, "You stinky boy, why are you giving blind advice? They are all immortals, how can you see them whenever you want? Ordinary people definitely don't have that opportunity sometimes!"

"Don't you think so, Brother Zou?"

"Ah... ah yes... yes..."

Zou Ping laughed dryly but didn't say anything else. Xiao Ling looked at Jiang Jincheng a little aggrieved after being beaten and then muttered softly: "Didn't you say that you can make wishes come true by accumulating points in the Wish Store...Uncle Zou has been here for so long...The points you have accumulated are not enough to cure Alzheimer's..."

Zou Ping pursed his lips, sighed, and shook his head: "Alzheimer's disease requires too many points... We really can't accumulate that many points in a short time..."

"We still have to live our daily lives, and we need to use points to buy food and drinks. You don't think that just because the refrigerator is full, you think that food and drinks are free, right?"

"Those are just because you are new here and don't have any points. The immortals have given you a few days of food. You have to earn points before the food is gone so that you can continue to live..."

"Ah...that's it..."

Jiang Jincheng chatted for a while and realized that he couldn't get anything useful out of them, so he stopped talking. After a while of politeness, Zou Ping even thought about asking the two to stay for lunch, but Jiang Jincheng rejected the request on the pretext that he wanted to find a way to earn points.

The two of them tacitly kept silent on the way back. This was not a good place to communicate. Jiang Jincheng was very suspicious and always felt that there were ears on the other side of the wall. He had to pull Xiao Ling back to the villa before he dared to communicate with him.

“Did you find the problem?”

"Ah."

Xiao Ling thought for a moment and spoke softly: "Uncle, Zouping doesn't seem to have any children at home. And did you notice? At the beginning, Zouping only said that he brought his wife and children, but he never said that he brought his old mother."

"That's right, and Zouping's attitude towards his so-called mother is very strange."

Jiang Jincheng pinched his chin and was silent for a moment before sighing: "It's not very strange, it's quite hard to describe..."

"Xiao Ling, we both have good observation skills. We lose because we always look at things from a normal development perspective. Li Guai incidents are not normal in the first place. We can't explain the current situation with our usual thinking when handling cases..."

"I don't want to always seek help from others, Xiao Ling..."

Jiang Jincheng clenched his fists slightly, sighed heavily, and stood there feeling a little annoyed and helpless.

How could Xiao Ling not know Jiang Jincheng's personality? He never liked to rely on others. He obviously had rich experience in handling cases, but he was fooled by Li Gui again and again.

"Uncle, I will help you..."

Xiao Ling held Jiang Jincheng's cheek with his hand as if to comfort him. He leaned closer, touched the tip of his nose and gently stroked his cheek with his lips.

"I'm actually afraid that I won't be able to use my skills. I'm afraid that I'll have to rely on others when I encounter something like this in the future. I just don't want to show weakness..."

"But my Uncle Jiang is omnipotent... I have never felt that Uncle Jiang would appear incompetent under the influence of strange events."

Xiao Ling turned his head and pecked Jiang Jincheng's lips softly and said: "To me, Uncle Jiang is the best. No matter what, you are not incompetent..."

"No one can say you are incompetent, not even you..."

Jiang Jincheng suddenly laughed and bit Xiao Ling's lips. He raised his eyebrows, rubbed Xiao Ling's hair, and said with a hint of joking: "I listen to my wife. If my wife thinks I'm awesome, then I'm the best!"

"That's right..."

Xiao Ling rubbed Jiang Jincheng in his arms and comforted him for a while before he regained his serious look.

"So... Uncle..."

"If we open our minds, what do you think is the most outrageous and absurd possibility?"

“The most outrageous…”

Jiang Jincheng thought for a moment and frowned. He reminded himself again and again that he must not look at this kind of incident with normal thinking. Combined with these conversations, he did have an extremely absurd idea.

"Xiao Ling..."

Jiang Jincheng was so frightened by his own thoughts that he broke into a cold sweat. He swallowed and looked up at Xiao Ling and said word by word: "Do you think it is possible..."

"That old lady is Zouping's child..."

Xiao Ling pursed his lips, sighed, and nodded: "Actually, I thought so at first, but I didn't dare to say it because I was afraid you would scold me."

"Right, you see... Zouping never said that he had elderly people at home, but we didn't see his children but saw an old lady who called him 'Dad'..."

"I admit that Alzheimer's disease does cause people to not recognize the whole person and have memory problems, but that old man doesn't look like he has Alzheimer's disease to me."

Jiang Jincheng pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "More like a puppet without thoughts... I know it's hard to understand, but the old woman's condition is extremely wrong. Her eyes are clear and dull, as if she is incomplete, do you understand?"

"It's like she's not her complete self right now. It's like she lost something, causing her to become dull and have difficulty speaking...but her eyes are sometimes clear and she seems to be aware of what she's doing."

Jiang Jincheng thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with any conclusion. They had only found something extremely suspicious but didn't know what it meant...

"Let's talk to Jun Li and the others when they come back. I hope our conclusions can be somewhat relevant."
