In the evening, at Uncle Lao Gen’s house.

"What's going on, old man? Why were Wei'an and his wife taken away as well?"

"I don't know either. There's nowhere to ask."

"Everyone was talking to the captain about it, but he wouldn't say anything. From what I could tell, he didn't know what was going on. When the police took the man away, he didn't say anything and just took him away."

"What happened to Third Brother's family? I'll go to Director Li tomorrow morning. No, I'll go right now. Director Li has connections in the county. Ask him to help find out."

"If something really happens to Third Brother's family and they need money, we can raise some money for them, or use some connections to help them. At the very least, we can send some things in. Otherwise, Third Brother and his wife will suffer in there."

Shuanzi said this and walked out.

"I'll go with you."

Uncle Gen stood up and looked at Aunt Gen.

Aunt Gen strode into the inner room and took out the bag where she had hidden her money. Without even checking it, she stuffed the whole bag into Uncle Gen's hands.

"Old man, take the money. Don't be vague when you need it."

"I understand. Lock the door yourself. When we come back and knock on the door, you can open it. Don't open the door for others." Uncle Lao Gen reminded him worriedly.

"Let's go. I'm already so old, and I don't even know this." Aunt Gen urged the father and son to go out.

Shuanzi rode his bicycle straight to Li Li's home in the county town.

Li Li was happily listening to the radio after dinner when suddenly there was a knock on the door. He turned down the volume of the radio and walked to the door.

"who?"

"Director Li, it's me, Shuanzi."

"Shuanzi, why are you here so late at night?"

"This is my dad."

"Hello, uncle, please come in." Li Li hurriedly asked Shuanzi and Uncle Lao Gen to come in, asked them to sit down, and was about to pour water.

"Director Li, please stop being busy. I have something urgent to discuss with you."

"What's the urgent matter?" Li Li asked without any hurry.

"Something happened to my third brother. He was taken away by the police today. My third sister-in-law was also taken away. I don't know what happened."

"He and his parents had severed ties long ago. His parents are dead. And those taken away today included his eldest and second brother's entire families. His nephew, who married into his wife's family, was also brought back. They were all taken to the police station."

"What? You said Brother An was taken away?" Li Li stood up quickly.

"What's going on? What's with the severing of the relationship and the parents? Don't be anxious. Tell me the whole story from beginning to end." Li Li sat back down. He knew that he couldn't be anxious at this moment.

"Let me tell you." Uncle Lao Gen pulled out a handful of bolts.

After all, he is a talkative person with poor execution skills, so he speaks in a confusing way.

Uncle Lao Gen briefly talked about the relationship between Xia Weian and the Xia family's old house, and then said that Old Mrs. Xia was murdered, and then Old Man Xia committed suicide by hanging himself.

Xia Weian's contact with them was just to help bury Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, but as a result, everyone was taken away by the police today.

It seems that this incident may be related to the death of Old Mrs. Xia, but everyone knows that Xia Weian would never kill anyone. Xia Weian is living such a good life now, there is no reason for him to kill Old Mrs. Xia.

"Why is it so complicated? Don't worry, just sit at my house for a while. I'll go find someone to see if I can find out what's going on."

"I'll go with you." Shuanzi said hurriedly.

"Okay, I'll go and ask around first. You come with me, uncle. You stay home. It won't be good for too many of us to go."

"I'll go with you and let Shuanzi stay at home. He is unstable and I am stable. If you have any questions, ask me and I can explain them clearly." Uncle Lao Gen said immediately.

Shuanzi: What a dear father! He despises me at this time and is so direct in his disdain.

"Okay, then uncle will come with me."

Li Li chose the more stable Uncle Lao Gen without hesitation, and Shuanzi was left in Li Li's home.

But Li Li's family only had his wife and children, so it wouldn't be good for Shuanzi to be in the house at this time.

"I'll wait for you downstairs." Shuanzi said and followed them downstairs.

Li Lixian went to look for his childhood friend who worked in the police force, but when he arrived his friend was not at home, only his wife was at home.

"Sister-in-law."

"I don't know what happened at the bureau, but Zhang Qiang urgently transferred everyone away. It must be a big deal. I saw that my neighbors were also called away, and they said they won't be back for the next two days."

"Is it so serious?" Li Li sighed.

"Yes, I don't know what's going on. People are in a panic. There was a murder in the street some time ago. The Public Security Bureau is under a lot of pressure now, and they are not having an easy time." Zhang Qiang's wife sighed.

"Who says it isn't? The world is not peaceful anymore." Li Li echoed.

"Then I'll be leaving, sister-in-law."

"What do you want from him? When he comes back, I'll ask him to come find you."

"Okay, wait for Zhang Qiang to come back and ask him to find me. I haven't seen him for a while and I want to have a drink with him."

"Drinking is no big deal. I'll let him go after he finishes his work and takes a break." said Zhang Qiang's wife.

"Okay." Li Li responded and turned to leave.

It seems that if I want to ask the ordinary police about the situation, I won’t be able to get any information.

Li Li's eyes turned and he thought of Sui Chengxiao.

Yes, the relationship of the Sui family is not simple.

Although the old man had stayed at the county's scrap collection station for some time, he knew that he was there simply because he was bored.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to Sui Chengxiao's house. It was already dark, and Li Li knocked on the door.

Sui Chengxiao came out to open the door and asked as he walked in, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Sui, I am Li Hua's younger brother, Li Li."

"It's you, kid." Sui Chengxiao opened the door.

"What do you want from me so late?"

"Old man, can you please excuse me for a moment?"

Sui Chengxiao closed the door casually and took two steps outside with Li Li.

"Old sir, I heard from my sister that you have a good relationship with Brother Wei'an."

"That's quite good." Sui Chengxiao said immediately.

"His little girl is my precious disciple." Sui Chengxiao laughed happily.

"Brother An had some problems, and we couldn't find anyone to ask for the time being, so we took the liberty to come and disturb you."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Li Li immediately told Sui Chengxiao what happened.

Uncle Lao Gen stepped forward to add some information and also mentioned Xia Weian’s family affairs.

Sui Chengxiao frowned. "From what I've heard, this matter has nothing to do with Wei'an and his wife. Why do they have to be taken away as well?"

Li Li shook his head in confusion.

"We don't know either. I wanted to ask my childhood friends, but they're all at the police station. I heard they haven't returned home in the past two days. It seems like something serious is going on. I'm a little worried. What's going on?"

"Okay, I got it. You all go back first. I'll ask someone to find out. If there is any news, I'll ask your sister to inform you. If she can tell you, let her tell you. If she can't tell you, you can come to my house then." Sui Chengxiao said.

"Okay, I got it." Li Li responded.

Hearing Sui Chengxiao say this, he didn't say anything else and left with Uncle Lao Gen.
