Chapter 524: Got to the wrong tomb?

Gu Xinli’s words left Gu Xiaoxi silent for a while.

But she shook her head quickly. "He may know that the jade pendant is with you, but he probably doesn't know the secret of the jade pendant. If the jade pendant is really as magical as you said, he would have thought of a way to become the owner of the jade pendant a long time ago."

Gu Xinli curled her lips and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe I acted quickly and stole the jade pendant early, so he didn't have a chance to discover the secret of the jade pendant?"

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her and said, "You have a point. According to what you said before, this jade pendant should have been sent to him by Xie Zhu, right? Why would Xie Zhu send such a magical and precious jade pendant to old man Gu?"

Gu Xinli couldn't help but roll her eyes. "If you think about it, you will know that the jade pendant must have been stolen by Xie Zhu! She may know that there is a secret in the jade pendant, but she doesn't know what the secret is. And the person who lost the jade pendant may be an important person. The jade pendant is not safe in Xie Zhu's hands, and there is no one else she can trust, so she sent the jade pendant to old man Gu and asked him to keep it for her..."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded. "Your guess is somewhat possible."

"Now that I've told you so many secrets, can you find me a place to live?" Gu Xinli felt that her legs were still hurting!

Although Gu Xiaoxi helped reconnect her leg, she felt that she would still need to rest for a long time before she could walk freely.

But she was unwilling to go home.

She was afraid of being harmed again!

Gu Xiaoxi looked at her with a half-smile, "Don't you think that in your current situation, it is actually safest for you to stay in the Public Security Bureau? Otherwise, no matter where you live, you may be assassinated. After all, the jade pendant you mentioned is so magical, and those who know about it should want it. And you are the last person to see the jade pendant, and I guess some people want to kill you."

Gu Xinli was dumbfounded. She opened her mouth but couldn't find any words to refute.

"Okay, if you don't have any other secrets to tell me, I'll leave first." Gu Xiaoxi didn't have that much patience to accompany Gu Xinli.

Seeing her leaving, Gu Xinli panicked for a moment, "Stop! Gu Xiaoxi, I apologize to you, isn't it enough to apologize to you? I was wrong before, I know I was wrong. Don't leave me here alone. Don't you want to find your dear grandparents? I'll help you find them! I can help you."

Gu Xiaoxi looked at her thoughtfully, "Do you know anything else?"

Gu Xinli bit her lip and said quickly, "I know one more thing. Didn't old man Gu go to the mountain in Lincheng to visit the grave every year? I went to ask about it when I returned to Huaicheng this time, and I heard something. This old man went to the wrong grave before and was beaten up. I think it's very strange. How could he, such a cautious person, go to the wrong grave?"

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, "Wrong tomb?"

Gu Xinli nodded, "Yes. After talking to you last time, I felt that this old guy had a lot of secrets. In addition to dealing with the Lu family, I have actually been keeping an eye on him. You said he liked to go to the toilet, so I followed him for a few days. Later, I even asked someone to find out where he usually went."

"I think about it, and I just feel that his annual visit to the grave is a bit strange... because he never invites my dad and Third Uncle to go, and it is even more impossible for him to invite your dad. He always goes there secretly by himself..."

"Later, I made a special trip to the cemetery on Lincheng Mountain. There was an old man in his 80s or 90s who looked friendly, so I chatted with him. I used the excuse that I was going to the cemetery but didn't know the way. Along the way, he told me this gossip, saying that an old man named Gu was beaten for going to the wrong cemetery..."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment. "How can you be sure that they are talking about Old Man Gu? Do they know him?"

Gu Xinli smiled and said with a look of amusement, "What a coincidence! The grave he went to was also called Gu Zesheng. But the deceased's family ran into old man Gu and said they didn't know him at all. He was beaten because he brought something taboo as offerings to the grave."

Gu Xiaoxi was silent.

Wrong tomb?

You went to the wrong tomb, but you still go there often?

This is indeed very suspicious!

She talked to Gu Xinli for a while, and finally she decided to let Yu Chengshuang go to the mountain near Lincheng tomorrow to find out the situation.

After a while, the people from the Public Security Bureau finally arrived.

Gu Xiaoxi handed Gu Xinli over to Captain Li and his men, and went back with Yu Chengshuang.

Gu Xinli was also afraid of death. Knowing that she could not live in Gu Xiaoxi's house, she went to the police station obediently, ready to confess and get leniency.

As soon as she returned home, Gu Xiaoxi received a message from Lu Jiansen.

"Xiaoxi, my dad got some news. When Mr. Xie was injured on a mission, he was only slightly injured. But on the way back, he encountered a huge fire. In order to save people, he was seriously injured again. He even had burns on his face. He had facial repair later. During that injury, his sidearm was lost. The gun in Mr. Gu's hand is most likely the gun that was lost..."

When Gu Xiaoxi heard the news, his first reaction was sadness.

She asked almost subconsciously, "Did anyone die in the fire? Who died? Where did the fire happen?"

Two minutes later, Lu Jiansen replied to her message again: "The fire broke out in a guesthouse near the Shanghai Railway Station. It is said that four people died in the fire. I have already asked someone to investigate the fire that year."

Gu Xiaoxi sighed, "Gu Xinli told me something today. That old man Gu went to the wrong grave in Lincheng..."

I don't know if there is any connection between these two things.

"Well, I've heard what Yu Chengshuang said earlier. You should go to bed early and don't let these things affect your mood. I probably won't be back until tomorrow noon."

Lu Jiansen originally wanted to tell his little girl about these things when he got back, but Yu Chengshuang said that she seemed to be in a bad mood after coming back from going out today, so he couldn't help but want to send her a message.

If he hadn't had to interrogate Xie Zhu that night, he would have wanted to go back immediately.

"I'm fine. You should also make sure to get some rest. I'm going to sleep first." Gu Xiaoxi didn't want Lu Jiansen to worry.

She was in a low mood after she came back because she found that there seemed to be more people who knew the secret of the jade pendant than she had imagined.

She began to wonder about the origins of these two jade pendants!

Forget it, since she can’t figure these things out, she should just go to bed!

Before going to bed, she went to her aunt's room and took a look at the two babies.

Seeing the two little guys sleeping with sweet smiles on their faces, she couldn't help but smile and her mood suddenly improved.

She didn't know if the two children had telepathy with her, but just when she was about to carry them upstairs again, the two little guys suddenly opened their eyes at the same time, shouted at her, and reached out for a hug.

Gu Xiaoxi's heart melted, and she immediately picked up the two children, one in each hand.
