When Li Xiangnan and the other man entered the room, there were already three cups of steaming tea on the table.

Xu Qiluo was standing by the wall with his head tilted back, looking at a group photo hanging on the wall.

Sitting aside, holding her stomach and shuffling two cups of cold water in one hand, Gong Xinmei said bitterly, "That was the last fifth-grade class I taught as a homeroom teacher! Xu Qiluo was in the class! Later, something happened at home and I was under too much pressure. In order to take care of me, the school didn't let me be a homeroom teacher..."

Li Xiangnan and Xu Qiluo looked back at each other. The latter pointed at the only one-inch photo on the wall and asked, "Teacher Gong, this is the photo of Ge Dongxu when he was a child, right?"

"Yes!" Gong Xinmei's hands trembled slightly, and the water that had just cooled down splashed out of the cup. She smiled bitterly, "But that was taken when he was in the first grade. Dongxu's father had a classmate whose family bought a camera, and he took Dongxu over to ask for a photo!"

As he got closer, Li Xiangnan saw a young man wearing glasses holding Ge Dongxu on his lap, and both of them were smiling shyly yet brightly.

At that time, Ge Dongxu was still a carefree six-year-old child!

Xu Qiluo reached out and wiped the dust off Ge Dongxu's photo, then said to Li Xiangnan, "I want to go in and talk to him right away. Do you have anything you want to tell me?"

Shaking his head, Li Xiangnan said bluntly: "Although this may sound a bit hypocritical, I still want to say, I wish you success! Bring him out!"

"..."Xu Qiluo didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Gong Xinmei finished her liver medicine, walked to her son's room with full of anticipation, and opened the door.

Xu Qiluo walked in without hesitation. After his vision adjusted to the darkness in the room, he walked to the bed without thinking.

Wang Defa, who followed him to the door, looked back at Li Xiangnan in surprise.

"Xiao Xu is a real police officer!"

Li Xiangnan smiled.

Public security officers, what kind of situation have you not encountered?

The only problem with the hygiene in this room is that it is not as disgusting as a murder scene!

"Doctor Li, Doctor Wang, you are smoking!"

At this time, Gong Xinmei took a pack of cigarettes from the chest of drawers, opened it and gave them to the two of them to smoke.

"Aunt Gong, you don't have to buy cigarettes for us!" Wang Defa shook his head and refused.

"Doctor Wang, I've already bought it, so just smoke it. It's not a good cigarette..."

"Fatty! Have a smoke!" Li Xiangnan took the Hongmei cigarette and patted the fat man's arm.

A pack of cigarettes may not be very cheap, but it is a token of Mr. Gong’s thoughtfulness.

"Oh!" Wang Defa sighed, pulled out two benches, and stood guard at the door with Li Xiangnan, listening to the movements in the house.

At this time, Xu Qiluo had been in the room for a while. She did not speak in a police commanding tone, but spoke softly about what happened in elementary school.

That year, that person, that cicada.

The two of them had been listening to the sound of the bed shaking in the room.

From the initial trembling that made the bed shake constantly, to now the shaking has gradually subsided, there has been a clear improvement.

Li Xiangnan was a little surprised.

This kind of effect may not be achieved by relying on him, Defa, or even Ruobai!

It seems that finding Xu Qiluo by accident turned out to be a blessing in disguise as he found the right person and broke the social ice of Ge Dongxu.

"Let's go and have a cigarette!" Li Xiangnan took out the cigarette from behind his ear, gestured, and led the fat man out.

"It's somewhat effective! Xiao Xu is a good girl!" Wang Defa grinned as he went out.

"Getting close to someone can really break the ice quickly!" Li Xiangnan smiled, "Xiao Xu has this advantage over all of us! Let's wait for more news!"

I originally thought that with such a start, progress would definitely be smooth!

But until dusk, when five o'clock was approaching and people in Yanjing City were about to get off work, Ge Dongxu had not been asked to come out, and even Xu Qiluo himself became anxious.

"Hurry up and eat something to fill your stomach. I didn't see you come out at noon. Drink more water!"

Calling Xu Qiluo to the door of the house, Li Xiangnan quickly told her to eat more.

"Eat slowly, don't choke!" Wang Defa brought over a glass of water and handed it to him.

Look at Xu Qiluo wolfing down the pickles with steamed buns, his neck raised from choking. The two of them wanted to laugh but felt helpless at the same time.

"Master, no, the situation is more serious than I expected! Most people would have been relaxed after I talked to them for so long! It seems that his father's incident had a huge impact on him. He was too young at the time, and his mind has been repeatedly entangled in this matter over the years. His mental state is very serious! This is not something that can be done by simply talking! Or, Master, give me another half a month, and I will come here every day to try..."

Xu Qiluo swallowed the steamed bun. After he finished speaking, he ate the whole bun and said hesitantly, "How about...you use force?"

"If we wanted to take him away by force, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble..."

Rubbing his eyebrows, Li Xiangnan was also hesitant.

He looked at Gong Xinmei, who was sitting by the stove in the room, looking up at the three people nervously from time to time, and said with gritted teeth: "Looks like we have to reveal some explosive news!"

He stood up and spat, "Wait for me for a moment, I'm going to make a phone call!"

After saying that, he pushed the cart out of the yard and went straight to the phone number he passed by on the way here.

Ten minutes later he came back and waved to Xu Qiluo, saying, "Come with me!"

Xu Qiluo and Wang Defa looked at each other and couldn't help asking, "Who did you call?"

Li Xiangnan shook his head and reminded as he entered the room: "Defa, stay with Aunt Gong!"

After saying that, he gave the fat man a look.

Are you going to hide this from Aunt Gong?

Defa understood immediately and immediately started chatting with her: "Aunt Gong, can you tell me about Dongxu's classmates..."

Seeing that he had already started chatting, Li Xiangnan nodded to Xu Qiluo, walked into the inner room and closed the door.

"what are you up to?"

Xu Qiluo was a little nervous.

Li Xiangnan walked straight to the bed, put down the small stool, turned on the flashlight, shone it on himself, and waited until Xu Qiluo sat down, then he got straight to the point:

"Dongxu, I'm a doctor from a nearby hospital. I was here yesterday! You are very familiar with my voice. I'm not a bad person! I think you understand why I came here today!"

"You're only nineteen, and I want you to get back to a normal family life!"

"You can rest assured about my identity. Look, the older sister next to me is a police officer! If I were a bad guy, she would have arrested me!"

The wooden bed began to vibrate, and Li Xiangnan saw through the flashlight that Ge Dongxu's feet were shaking violently.

He sighed slightly, knelt on one leg on the ground, held the bed with one hand and leaned his head down.

"Dongxu, your mother has been worried about your condition for the past ten years and couldn't sleep all night. She has liver cancer..."

Xu Qiluo's eyes suddenly widened and she clenched her hands. She didn't quite understand why Li Xiangnan revealed this news to Ge Dongxu at this moment.

However, what surprised her even more was that Li Xiangnan didn't seem ready to end.

"I asked the doctor to do a biopsy on your mother this morning, and I just asked about the results! Now the cancer cells in her body have spread everywhere, to her liver, lungs, bones, lymph nodes, anywhere you can imagine, there are cancer cells!"

Li Xiangnan took a deep breath and said in a most reluctant tone: "That is to say, your mother...she can only live for two to three months!"

boom!

At this moment, Xu Qiluo, who learned such a clear diagnosis, could not hold back the shock in his heart and burst into tears.

And from under the bed, there was an extremely suppressed crying sound, which came from the deepest part of the chest, like the whimpering of a wounded little animal.

Under the flashlight, Li Xiangnan saw that Ge Dongxu's body began to twitch uncontrollably, and every breath was like swallowing broken glass.

Ge Dongxu suddenly raised his head, his pair of scarlet eyes hiding an indescribably complicated look. He opened his mouth, wanting to shout, to question, to beg, but all the sounds were swallowed up by the dust under the bed.

At this moment, every bone in his body was trembling, but he could not utter a complete syllable.

There was a burning mass in his throat, which kept expanding and burning his trachea, almost suffocating him.

Li Xiangnan calmly stretched out his hand and looked at him steadily.

"If you don't come out, you will regret your decision today for the rest of your life!"

He just finished speaking.

A bony hand immediately grasped his palm.
