I heard you are a junior

After letting out a sigh of relief, Liu Jinya returned to being happy. After laughing tiredly, she calmed down and thought about her father's affairs.

Xu Rongyuan's phone call was irritating, but it pointed out the direction for them-father had committed other things before, and if there was evidence of a crime, he would definitely stay in prison for a long time.

Liu Jinya remembered a detail about the day they talked about the divorce.

Faced with a stack of IOUs, Dad was still able to keep his expression on, and roguely asked for "compensation" for her, almost poking Xu Rongyuan's face with his raised finger.Xu Rongyuan said something in a calm manner, and when he said, "it is a great blessing to be able to stay at home safely at a young age", his father immediately turned pale and lost all confidence.

At that time, Liu Jinya thought that her father owed other debts in private, but now that she thinks about it...

Xu Rongyuan's unfinished words may be his father's crimes.

"Xiaoxiao!" Thinking of this, Liu Jinya excitedly ran to the bathroom and said to Zhong Yuxiao, "Let's go and check Dad's criminal evidence."

Zhong Yuxiao was brushing her teeth, her face was still calm when she heard this, only her eyelids moved, and she picked up the cup and rinsed her mouth.

Liu Jinya was dumbfounded, "Is it bad?"

"No." Zhong Yuxiao washed her face, walked out of the bathroom and had a good talk with her, "Do you have a clue?"

Liu Jinya's excitement faded away.

Ever since she could remember, she felt that her father was a fierce and annoying person, and she didn't want to get close to her. Even when she heard that the composition was "my father" in class, she would frown and didn't want to write it.With little contact with her father, and at a young age, it was impossible for her to detect that her father had committed a crime.When she grew up, she got married right after she graduated, and when she returned home, she only cared about talking to her mother, and generally didn't like to talk to her father who wasted money.

Rescuing clues in her memory to find criminal evidence is difficult.

"No." Liu Jinya bit her lip, and when she saw the location of the recorded file on the phone, she had an idea, "Why don't you play this to Dad..."

Zhong Yuxiao raised her eyebrows, "Then let your father sense the danger and destroy the evidence as soon as possible?"

Two consecutive proposals were rejected, Liu Jinya was not reconciled, and said weakly, "At least my father and Xu Rongyuan can fall out..."

"Xu Rongyuan dares to say that to you, which proves that he can control your father." Zhong Yuxiao walked to the dressing table, slowly selected a bottle on the table, unscrewed the lid and picked it with his fingertips, and wiped off the smooth and soft skin care products, " Why did your father fall out with Xu Rongyuan? He has no money and power, and he is going to go to jail. Now that he can come out, I would like to thank Xu Rongyuan for being the guarantor."

"But... my dad is going to face a more serious punishment, how can he fight it?"

"Well, if your dad really chooses to fight, don't want Xu Rongyuan's protection." Zhong Yuxiao followed her words and said, "When he returned to the detention center, Xu Rongyuan failed to remarry you, so he won't be a good person and report. Three years later, when your father comes out and uses his father's identity to trouble you, Xu Rongyuan can continue to use this matter as bait until you can't bear it anymore and agree."

Liu Jinya trembled at the thought of that terrible future, turned her head and saw Zhong Yuxiao's lazy and light movements, inexplicably felt that the other people were bottles and cans on the table, all under Zhong Yuxiao's control, and leaned forward Ask, "So... what do we do?"

"The criminal evidence needs to be investigated, don't startle the snake. We don't have a clue, but they know exactly where the criminal evidence is."

Liu Jinya finally got some ideas, but before she could implement them, she found it extremely difficult, and muttered in frustration, "How do I find them?"

"Ask auntie."

"My mother?" Liu Jinya frowned even deeper.

My mother has not yet come out of the shadow of domestic violence. Even if she is out of the hospital, she will be accompanied by her aunt and move to a completely different home. Occasionally, she will look at her scars in a daze, and her eyes will turn red instantly.

And she chose the sensitive period before the trial, and ran up to let her mother recall whether her father had done any other bad things.

Liu Jinya knew that this was the right thing to do, but she felt a little overwhelmed: that person was her mother, a family member who swore to be filial when she was a child.Ever since her mother was beaten into the hospital, she deeply felt that she had done too little, had no time to take care of her, and had no time to accompany her. She finally planned to visit her on the weekend, but it was with the purpose of exposing her scars...

My mother always forced a smile in front of her, and she was exhausted. When asked about such a thing suddenly, she might cry.

Liu Jinya wasn't sure whether she would cry along with her or ask firmly.

"It's okay." Zhong Yuxiao saw her worries, and patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Tomorrow is Saturday, I'll go with you."

Even though he was reluctant, Liu Jinya knew that this had to be done, so she nodded heavily.

She didn't sleep well all night.

In the morning, Liu Jinya woke up early, went to the cabinet to find all the things she wanted to bring to her mother, and planned to decorate it beautifully.Probably because she was hiding something on her mind, she pulled the scarf casually when she was folding it. Looking at the long wine-red cloth, she thought of the blood-stained white silk in ancient times, and she thumped in her heart, and tucked the scarf back again.

"Eat breakfast." Zhong Yuxiao came to call her, and was surprised to see the scarf thrown back, "Don't you want to take it?"

Liu Jinya pursed her lips, "I always feel...we can't ask anything today."

Seeing her hesitation, Zhong Yuxiao didn't blame her like before, but was a little more patient, and sat beside her and said softly, "Don't you want your father to pay the price he deserves?"

Liu Jinya squeezed the scarf tightly in her hand, without saying a word.

Zhong Yuxiao led her to think in a better direction, "Give it a try, the longer your dad stays in prison, the better your aunt's life will be."

"Hmm." Liu Jinya rubbed the center of her brows, and after clearing her mind, she said, "If I see my mother crying, I won't dare to ask any more... You must remind me to continue to ask."

Zhong Yuxiao smiled, "May I ask for you?"

"No." Liu Jinya resolutely refused, "It's enough to be the bad guy alone."

Zhong Yuxiao asked in confusion, "Bad guy?"

"With my mother's personality... when I heard these things, my first reaction would be to resist." Liu Jinya sighed, "Then I felt that the person who asked the question would not let her go, it was a bad person."

"No, I believe my aunt has changed."

She didn't want to mention her mother's cowardly behavior anymore, and smiled wryly, "Let's eat, go back early."

After breakfast, Liu Jinya still packed up the scarves, plus the massage cushion that Zhong Yuxiao helped to choose, the clothes she bought not long ago, and the nutritional products she entrusted, filled the back seat.Looking at the neatly arranged bags and boxes, she felt happy and felt a sense of satisfaction from doing something for her mother.

"Oh, why do you buy so many things?" Auntie said helplessly when she saw that they had big bags and small bags, "There is no shortage at home, so there is no need to go out of your way to buy them."

"I have to use it anyway." Liu Jinya took the bag of clothes over first, and showed her mother one by one.

With a gentle smile on her mother's face, she touched the coat she brought, "It's such a flower, can I wear it?"

"Why not, what a spirit."

"Okay." Mom took it obediently, and gestured to her body, "It's good to try this color."

When it came to trying new things, Liu Jinya's mind went to other places. Seeing that her mother was in a good mood, she made a face to Zhong Yuxiao.Zhong Yu understood it, and asked my aunt to install it in the bedroom of the guest room, borrowing the reason of testing the massage cushion.

Auntie talks too much and has a strong personality, she yelled when she saw her mother Moji get angry.Mom was already unwilling to mention Dad's affairs, but being scolded and urged, her mood collapsed, and she would only shut her mouth even tighter.

They discussed it before, Zhong Yuxiao led the aunt away, and Liu Jinya guided her mother to recall with a gentle attitude.

Only the mother and daughter were left in the living room. Liu Jinya calmed down and said after a moment of consideration, "Mom, do you remember when the court will be held? I will see my father then."

Mother's joy dissipated little by little, and the corners of her mouth lost energy, and she smiled stiffly, "Remember."

Liu Jinya had the urge to shut up, glanced at the ring on her hand, remembered Zhong Yuxiao's advice, and continued to guide her hard, "Be happy, Dad will go to jail after he is sentenced."

Mom hummed, and said weakly, "I know, three years."

"It doesn't have to be three years." Liu Jinya felt that there was no need to hide it, so she quickly said when she found the topic, "I heard that Dad committed crimes before."

"What? Where did you hear that?" Mom didn't believe it.

Before coming, Liu Jinya had already thought of an excuse, "When I went back to get my things, I heard what Uncle Wang said. He used to go drinking and playing cards with his father every day, and when he was drunk, he heard the nonsense of his father. He didn't believe it at first, but after After this incident, I recognized my father's character and told me."

Not being familiar with Uncle Wang, my mother didn't have the courage to go back to the house where she was beaten into a coma, so she really didn't care about the authenticity of these words, and muttered to herself, "A crime? He didn't tell me."

"Think about it carefully." Liu Jinya encouraged her mother, "Is there a time when Dad is abnormal? What will he do to avoid you on purpose?"

Following her words, my mother recalled the past, her face was confused at first, but after thinking about it, the hand holding the clothes trembled, and she directly shook the new clothes to the ground with a muffled pop.

Liu Jinya didn't realize that her mother reacted so strongly. She lowered her head to pick it up, and then got up to look. Her mother was already covering her ears and closing her eyes to escape.

"Mom?" Liu Jinya worriedly held her mother's hand, which felt cold.

Mom breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her eyes with tears, and said pleadingly, "Xiaoya, I can't remember. In fact, three years is enough for me to sell the house, retire, and go to Q city with my third sister. By that time, I have completely stayed away from him, and I don't have to think about these things anymore..."

"Mom..." Liu Jinya couldn't continue asking, and sighed helplessly, "Are you still afraid of him?"

Mom shook her head subconsciously, feeling guilty again when she saw her expressionless face, and dared not look away.

The living room was quiet, Liu Jinya could hear the sound of her mother's mouth opening and breathing hard, and she felt a sense of guilt that she was heinous and forcing others. After a while, she wanted to speak, but she flinched when she saw her mother wiped her eyes.

"This massage cushion is really fun." Auntie ran out suddenly and said to her and her mother with a smile.

Mom became smarter, moved her legs to let the clothes fall, bent over to pick them up, and adjusted her expression by the way, she couldn't say she was happy when she raised her eyes, but it wasn't as bitter and bitter as when she recalled her father, "Is it?"

"Come on, I'll take a look with you." Auntie came over to help.

Liu Jinya held her hand, followed the two elders and walked slowly into the room. When she reached Zhong Yuxiao, she sighed and shook her head, reaching out for a hug.

Zhong Yuxiao saw that the result was not good, so she hugged her and said, "Let's talk about it after dinner."

Liu Jinya could only obey.

After eating, my mother ran into the room to collect the clothes as if she had sensed her intentions.My aunt glanced at their newly bought long coats and shook her head, "I'll go with you, how can you reach the top hook on tiptoe..."

"It's over." When my aunt and mother walked away, Liu Jinya cried directly to Zhong Yuxiao, "There is no chance to ask now."

Zhong Yuxiao chuckled, "Auntie can ask."

"what?"

"When I tried the massage cushion before, I mentioned this to my aunt." Zhong Yuxiao said, "Tell her not to rush, and persuade her slowly."

Liu Jinya was dumbfounded, "Why didn't you tell me."

"If I told you, would you still ask your mother?"

Liu Jinya nodded, and while she was flustered, she couldn't help but look away like her mother.

However, Zhong Yuxiao's way of coping is much cuter.

Suddenly a soft kiss was printed on the cheek, Liu Jinya was stunned, covering the place where she was kissed and turned her head to look back, "You..."

Zhong Yuxiao said with a serious face, "What?"

"Pfft." Liu Jinya was amused and sighed, "It's lucky to have you..."

Zhong Yuxiao frowned, looked at the elders who came out of the room with raised eyebrows, and said proudly, "Well, it's lucky to have me."

"Xiaoya." Mom didn't know what they were talking about, but hurried forward, "You just said, did your father commit any other crimes?"

Never thought that my aunt could persuade her mother so quickly, Liu Jinya was stunned for a while before nodding.

"I'm going to look through the photo album." My mother said, "I can't remember some things clearly, but I should be able to remember them when I see the photos."

With that said, my mother turned back to the room to look for it.

The aunt wanted to keep up, Liu Jinya couldn't hold back her doubts and asked, "How did you persuade mom?"

"I said...she moved away, but you are still here."

Liu Jinya was stunned, "So simple?"

The auntie patted her on the shoulder, "Silly boy, big sister can do a lot of things for you."

-

There are two books of photos that my mother brought out from home, one is a solo photo of her since she was a child, and the other is a photo of her own mother and a group photo of her.There is a father in the group photo, the number is not many, on average one per year, and it is all taken by my mother to urge my father to take pictures with her to commemorate.

My aunt disliked my father in the photo and persuaded my mother to throw it away.My mother is quite superstitious, thinking that there is her in the photo, it would be unlucky to throw it away, cut it up, burn it, so she just kept it intact, put it at the end of the photo album, and almost never looked at it.

In order to recall the past, my mother took out the photo album again, took a few deep breaths before opening it.

Auntie and Zhong Yuxiao had never seen these before, and looked at them with great interest. Liu Jinya saw her father's unwilling face and her pitiful face with red eyes and tear stains. It means to force a smile.

After experiencing this, the mother who left the deepest impression looked at these things that recorded the past, but she was abnormally calm. She glanced at the faces in the photos and the date in the lower right corner, frowning occasionally, and then loosened after a while.

Liu Jinya almost didn't notice her mother's mood swings.

Until a certain photo fell out, my mother withdrew her hand like an electric shock, and let a thin sheet fall down.

My aunt was the closest, and when she picked it up, she saw her mother's melancholy side face, and said softly, "Sister, let me put it back on for you."

Mom smiled and nodded, "Thank you."

"Thank you." My aunt used her fingernails to open the compartment, and slowly put the photos into the small gap. If the corners were folded, she would patiently smooth them out and try again.

"Became so careful..." Mom sighed, and when she turned her eyes to see Dad's face in the photo, she suddenly froze.

Liu Jinya didn't notice it, but Zhong Yuxiao saw it clearly, and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

"I suddenly thought of something." Mom replied, "Third Sister. Don't pretend to be a photo, take it back and show it to me."

My aunt immediately sent the photo album back to my mother.

Mom turned back to the front, and because she was too anxious, she let the slightly sharp edge of the paper draw a shallow mark on the palm of her hand, preventing Liu Jinya who approached from checking, and continued to scan the photos with firm eyes.

"Wait a minute." Zhong Yuxiao saw that Liu Jinya was worried, and pressed his shoulder to persuade him.

Liu Jinya saw that her mother was a little different, she didn't care about the little broken skin, and waited quietly.

Mom searched and searched, and finally found the photo she was looking for, and compared the date on the lower right corner, "Yes...it was this year...he suddenly changed himself, stopped playing cards, and found a job to do it well..."

Liu Jinya leaned forward to take a look, "When I was in the first grade?"

"Well, I was begging everywhere to go to school, and I didn't have much time to take care of you." Mom said while recalling, "He said he would not go to play cards, and he would watch you at home."

Following her mother's words, Liu Jinya did remember that her father was impatiently accompanying her during the holiday when she was going to primary school.She was still young, so she didn't quite understand the reason. She just felt that Mom and Dad had less quarrels during that time and treated her better, and even bought a doll as a gift on their own initiative.

She nodded in agreement, "Dad suddenly treated me very well that year."

"Yeah, I thought he was willing to take on the responsibility of a father." Mom frowned, "Now think about it... What can change a person for no reason? He went to play cards the night before, and he came back the next day. Be honest and work hard to find a job."

Zhong Yuxiao interrupted when he heard this, "Where did he go to play cards?"

"I think...it seems to be Jinyang East Road."

Zhong Yuxiao was puzzled, "Do you want to go to the mahjong parlor?"

"No, there were no mahjong halls in those days, so I should go to a friend's house."

When asked here, Zhong Yuxiao was still in a daze, and took out the phone to unlock it.

"Don't search, you can't see it on the map." Liu Jinya stopped her and explained to Zhong Yuxiao based on her experience, "It's a village in the city with a lot of people. It has been demolished and rebuilt over the years, and the people have changed several times. It's hard where Dad plays cards."

What Zhong Yuxiao thought was not the same as hers, "I want to find a professional to check."

professional?

Liu Jinya saw that Zhong Yuxiao was getting stronger, "Mom just said it casually, it doesn't necessarily have something to do with this."

"Hmm..." Zhong Yuxiao considered her opinion, then turned around and asked, "Auntie, do you have any other clues?"

Mom took the first step, but it didn't take so much effort later. She flipped through the photo album and recalled it carefully, and answered cautiously after a while, "There was another change, the year Xiaoya got married. Her father was very happy and said he was relieved." , After playing cards and drinking, all bad habits have returned."

"He should have changed because of what happened in Jinya that year," Zhong Yuxiao guessed, "It stopped for more than ten years, and he found Xu Rongyuan as a backer before returning to his original state."

Liu Jinya thought about the information she had read before, "Will Xu Rongyuan help destroy the evidence? Is it a crime of covering up?"

Zhong Yuxiao shook his head, "Xu Rongyuan is doing business, so many enemies are staring at him, so he won't wading through the muddy water to help conceal it, at most he doesn't report it."

"Oh..." Liu Jinya was disappointed.

"Let's solve your father's problem first." Zhong Yuxiao persuaded, "Compared to Xu Rongyuan who has a head and face and saves face, your father has nothing. In order to survive and revenge, he will do anything."

Liu Jinya thought this was the reason, but she didn't forget to take care of her mother's feelings, she leaned over and asked, "Mom, don't be nervous, what Xiaoxiao is looking for is a professional, and she will definitely be able to find out one more crime for Dad."

Mom patted her hand, then turned to Zhong Yuxiao and said, "I still remember some small details, and it's useless if I don't know, so I'll write them down for you."

"Ok."

Liu Jinya was afraid that her mother would be inconvenient, so she helped her to take the pen and paper, and carefully helped to record.

Zhong Yuxiao made a phone call and reported the information.

My aunt hadn't contacted her mother in those years, but she wanted to help. She took the photo album and carefully observed the background of the photos, hoping to find something useful.

They are doing what they can for the same goal.

Liu Jinya finished writing quickly, watching the hour pass by unconsciously, feeling inexplicably satisfied and full of hope in her heart.

It will be fine.

-

After all, Liu Jinya is an outsider in the matter of finding clues, so she can't intervene after handing over some details she remembered with her mother.Zhong Yuxiao handed it over to a familiar private investigator to let her wait for the news with peace of mind. Even if she can't find out for a while, it is feasible to pursue the responsibility and increase the punishment.

After more than ten years, the people on Jinyang East Road were complicated, and it took three days for private investigators to find out that three major incidents had happened that year. One is that a certain uncle was full and threw a heavy whetstone downstairs, smashing the heads of unlucky passers-by, and the other was missing persons, most likely related to Liu Jinya's father.

The missing person is called Lian Jiantong, a man who came out to work from the countryside. He was the same age as his father. He was a young and strong guy at the time. He made a living by moving goods for others. He has a bad temper, loves cheating, and often loses all his salary to live a tight life.

The disappearance of Lian Jiantong did not cause much sensation in Chengzhong Village on Jinyang East Road, because Lian Jiantong was heavily in debt, and everyone did not think that this person was missing at all, but that he had gone to hide from his creditors without money.

The private detective thought this was suspicious, so he tried his best to get the photos from the old man who still lived on Jinyang East Road. Of course, there was no face. Silhouettes and such.

Mom looked at it and shook her head, saying she hadn't seen it before, and asked, "Is this related to Liu Guangbai?"

"uncertain."

Liu Jinya took it over and took a closer look, her eyes widened, "I seem to have seen him before, at...at..."

She couldn't remember for a while, her mother was anxious as she couldn't finish talking, Zhong Yuxiao frowned, waiting for her to finish the sentence, the detective was busy showing her other photos.My aunt was the most impatient, seeing that she couldn't remember her memories for a long time, she became irritated, "Have you really seen him? The picture is so blurry."

Liu Jinya was not sure in her heart, but felt that this was the best news in the past three days, so she asked cautiously, "I can take a photo, can I take a look at it during this time?"

The detectives of course allowed it.

Liu Jinya took photos of them all, thinking about them when she had time.

Once or twice was okay, Zhong Yuxiao let her go, but after two days, she was still holding the photo in her hand, the baby's childish temper came out, and she leaned over and said seriously, "Do you need to be so serious? It doesn't necessarily matter. .”

Liu Jinya disagreed, "From my sixth sense, it must be related."

"What do you think is going on?"

"My dad probably killed this guy." Liu Jinya said vigorously, "Look... this guy and my dad both like to play mahjong, and they are both bad guys who like to cheat. Then……"

Zhong Yuxiao reminded, "Mahjong is played by four people. Even if this happened, it happened after the game was over."

"Didn't the detective go to investigate the person who played cards with Lian Jiantong?"

"It's a bit difficult," Zhong Yuxiao told her calmly about the difficulty of the investigation process, "He has been to your father's place of work and the house of the unit, but he didn't ask. Now he is going to Lian Jiantong's hometown to determine whether this person is real or not. If you can't find it, you have to go to X City to find Lian Jiantong's wife to find out what happened that year, so many places, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth."

Liu Jinya searched the map, but was disappointed, "Ah, I thought private detectives are like those in TV dramas... they found it all at once."

"It's not that easy. He has a case that has been investigated for five years and has not been resolved."

"Ah?" Liu Jinya was surprised, "Is this detective reliable? Are you familiar with him?"

Zhong Yuxiao wrote lightly, "It's considered familiar, he is my classmate."

"What?" Liu Jinya was stunned, "Middle school classmate?"

"the University."

"Do you have the same major as you? Why do you want to do this?"

Zhong Yuxiao smiled, "Professions cannot limit one person, you can do whatever you want."

Hearing that there was something in the words, Liu Jinya also laughed, and leaned over to hold Zhong Yuxiao's arm and said softly, "I know, so I decided not to care about what I learned in college, and I'm going to invest in calligraphy and painting."

"Really?" Zhong Yuxiao asked, "How's the progress?"

Liu Jinya was a little nervous, and she held onto Zhong Yuxiao tightly, "The results will be announced soon, I wonder if Lin Zaishia, who I'm optimistic about, will win the prize..."

"What if you don't have it?"

Liu Jinya had already thought about this possibility, and answered preparedly, "Wait, I believe in Lin Zaishia's talent."

Zhong Yuxiao narrowed his eyes in disapproval.

"I knew you would show this expression!" Liu Jinya pinched Zhong Yuxiao's cheek, "Of course I will invest in other people, Xiao Yin and I are optimistic, there is a painter from the Chinese Painting Artists Association who is very aura Yes, the transaction volume over the years has been good..."

Starting from a certain word, Zhong Yuxiao didn't listen to her carefully, and frowned, "Xiao Yin?"

Liu Jinya has a bad heart.

She communicated with Yin Xinchang through communication tools, and rarely talked about it with Zhong Yuxiao.Zhong Yuxiao is used to her using her mobile phone to check work groups, study official accounts, apps and website auctions, and she didn't notice that Yin Xinchang sent her messages from time to time to discuss business matters.

After chatting for a long time, calling her full name seemed strange and troublesome. Yin Xinchang had already called her Xiaoya by herself. As an employee, she originally wanted to call her Boss Yin Xinchang. Zhong Yuxiao played with the nickname of "boss and little secretary", and silently changed it to "Little Yin".

However, when Zhong Yuxiao got along with Yin Xinchang, he often couldn't stand Yin Xinchang's crazy temper, and called him by his full name unhappy, and he couldn't call him "Xiao Yin" or "Xin Chang" at all. She calls it intimate.

"Well," Liu Jinya smelled jealous, suddenly witty, and pretended to be stupid with a shy smile, "I want to follow your name..."

Zhong Yuxiao stared at her for a long time, and because she reached out to hug her, she believed it.

"By the way, Mr. Kang has a banquet tomorrow night, shall we go together?"

"Who is Mr. Kang?"

"The person introduced by Xiao Yin." Liu Jinya was puzzled, "I told you before."

Zhong Yuxiao blinked, then stepped forward to rub her flatteringly.

Liu Jinya knew what was going on at a glance - Zhong Yuxiao forgot what she had said, and resorted to beauty tricks in order not to make her angry.

"Okay." Liu Jinya didn't have that thought, and ruthlessly pulled Zhong Yuxiao away, "Go and play by yourself, I'll take a look again, I seem to remember it soon."

Zhong Yu said with a straight face, "I don't need to read the documents today, I can go to bed early."

"Well... congratulations." Liu Jinya said perfunctorily, zooming in on the photo on the phone.

Zhong Yuxiao was upset and turned off the bedside lamp directly.

The room fell into darkness, Liu Jinya was dazzled by the bright light of the mobile phone, and was taken aback for a while, "What are you doing?"

"Sleep." Zhong Yuxiao snatched the phone and put it on the bedside table beside her.

Liu Jinya couldn't reach it, and silently sweated over the cellphone that had been brutally murdered. When she pulled the quilt and was about to lie down, she said by the way, "Can you leave work early tomorrow?"

"can."

"Come and pick me up early, we'll change clothes and go to the banquet when we come back." Liu Jinya calculated the time, "One hour should be enough."

Zhong Yuxiao came over and bit off one of her buttons, her words were slurred, and her warm and chaotic breath was hard to ignore, "Change clothes? Practice first."

"Oh yes!" Liu Jinya was unmoved, and talked about an important matter, "Can you help me get the dress when you pass by the dry cleaner at the intersection?"

Zhong Yuxiao paused, then snorted heavily after a while, rolled up the quilt and turned over to the other side of the bed.

Eyes have already adapted to the darkness, Liu Jinya saw the aggrieved and shrunken baby Zhong through the faint light, and stepped forward to coax, dumbfounded, "Baby..."

"Sleep." Zhong Yuxiao pulled the quilt over her head.

As a person who couldn't cover the quilt together, Liu Jinya could only shrink back wordlessly, lay down and sighed, and closed her eyes to prepare for sleep.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in her ears.

"Jin Ya." Zhong Yuxiao asked seriously, "Why did you give up so quickly?"

Liu Jinya didn't hold back, and just smiled.

Zhong Yuxiao became even more unhappy, "Don't laugh."

On the contrary, Liu Jinya couldn't control herself, the more she laughed, the happier she became.

Zhong Yuxiao frowned, and blocked her mouth in a straightforward way.

"Well." Liu Jinya still had a sliver of reason, and softly complained, "Who told you not to coax you."

-

Liu Jinya specially arranged work and asked Guan Yaqin for an hour's leave in advance.

Guan Yaqin was very upright. She glanced sideways at the leave slip she handed over. Not only did she not sign it, but she calmly told her not to follow the rules, "You don't need to deduct your salary when you register on the outside work list to do business."

Receiving the kindness of her boss, Liu Jinya packed her things early, glanced at the clock that was about to go to 4 o'clock, and sent a message to ask where Zhong Yuxiao was.

Zhong Yuxiao's reply was not very optimistic, "Traffic jam."

Liu Jinya couldn't bear to blame Zhong Baobao, so she forced herself to sit calmly and wait.

As a result, the time was getting later and later, and the colleague couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to do something?"

The convenience before became a trouble, Liu Jinya sighed, picked up the bag and walked down.It just so happened that a company was moving things, and many people in overalls occupied the elevator.With so many strangers, she felt uneasy again, so she called Xiao Cao to ask her to take her to a taxi.

Xiao Cao is a reliable person. When he heard that she was in a hurry, he suggested, "I'll go drive. If Mr. Zhong doesn't have time to go home, I can take you to the banquet by the way."

Liu Jinya felt very good, "Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xiao Cao went to drive and asked her to wait in the lobby on the first floor.While waiting boredly, Liu Jinya took out the frontal photo of Lian Jiantong that she had just received recently and continued to ponder.The detective they hired went to Lian Jiantong's countryside to inquire, and learned that this person had not returned to his hometown and had not contacted his family, as if he had disappeared from the world.

Regrettably, it was not Lian Jiantong's family who noticed something strange, but the creditor who borrowed the money.Lian Jiantong only had an old mother at home. She was poor and destitute, and her creditors couldn't collect the money.

After several twists and turns, the creditors worked so hard to get no benefit, were upset, and couldn't bear to let Lian Jiantong's sick and distressed mother apply for a declaration of disappearance. When the money was lost, they called Lian Jiantong not the missing person, but Said, "I don't know where this bastard is hiding."

After Liu Jinya heard this, even though the detective took Lian Jiantong's photo to the places where his father worked and lived to investigate but found nothing, he still felt that this matter had something to do with his father.

However, their clues are too few.

Perhaps it was due to the close time of the court session and the fear of being late for the banquet. Liu Jinya looked at the photos, no longer casually looking at them as usual, but staring at them with a frown, only blinking when her eyes were sore, a little crazy up.

She was so engrossed in watching that she got in the way of the moving company's people, and when she got out of the way, she glanced casually, and saw the big round table that the workers were working together to move.

Liu Jinya suddenly remembered where she had seen Lian Jiantong, and called the detective with her mobile phone, "I remember! I saw Lian Jiantong behind the broken house behind the compound... Yes, there is a big table there, I used to play with my friends when I was a kid…”

She was so happy that she didn't notice that someone had heard this and approached quietly from behind.

"What are you doing!" The security guard suddenly shouted.

Liu Jinya was startled, looked back, and saw her father's face.

When Dad saw that she noticed it, he immediately wanted to rush up.

Three steps away was a little far away, the security guard had an idea, and threw the stick out of his hand. Dad wanted to avoid it, but he didn't count how slippery the floor was, and fell to the ground with crooked steps, ouch, screaming in pain.

She immediately quickened her pace and hid next to the security guard, looking at her father sitting on the ground with lingering fear, regretting that she was too negligent.

Dad recovered from the pain, staggered to his feet, stared at her sullenly, "What did you just say!"

The security guard didn't give Dad a chance to ask questions, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and said something.

Dad was no longer the cowardly person he used to be, and rushed up like crazy, scolding her as "unfilial" and "slut", and his loud voice echoed in the empty lobby: "Did Xu Rongyuan tell you!

"Don't move!" The security guard helplessly protected Liu Jinya and kept calling other colleagues.

There was too much commotion, and my father knew that the security backup was coming, so he gritted his teeth and turned and ran away.

The security guard rushed to chase after her, but Liu Jinya froze in place until Xiao Cao Wen came to inquire and finally recovered, and called Zhong Yuxiao.

Zhong Yuxiao was also anxious, "Are you injured?"

"No." After Liu Jinya recovered, she was not too scared when she thought about her father's ferocious and agitated appearance just now, and said excitedly, "Dad is so excited, there must be something wrong with that dilapidated house!"

"Well, Lao Zhang has already checked." Zhong Yuxiao reminded, "Are you still going to the banquet?"

Liu Jinya took a look at the street where her father was nowhere to be seen, even though her heart was full of emotions and she wanted to go to the broken house she remembered, but for the sake of her future, she still endured it. "Go, Yin Xinchang said he would introduce some painters to me."

Zhong Yuxiao was silent for a moment, then chuckled, "Okay."

Mr. Kang is an elegant businessman, and he held a small banquet in his elegant residence.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Jinya saw that many people had already come, and she was brushed off.
