When boys and girls in love are passionate and unrestrained, it no longer matters who holds whose hand.
But when Qiuyue reached the riverbank, she forcefully shook off Liang Guoping's large hand.
"Tell me, what secret is it?"
She blinked her big eyes and looked at Liang Guoping, asking him a question.
Liang Guoping frowned and asked Qiu Yue in return:
"Qiuyue, what secret are you talking about?"
Qiu Yue looked at Liang Guoping in surprise and began to scold him:
"Liang Guoping, you bastard, don't you remember what you said to me this morning when we were riding our bikes together?"
Liang Guoping seemed to remember something and gave a soft "Oh".
"Ah, you mean the murderer who killed the barber?"
"Tell me, what secret is it?"
"I know that barber has a lover, and I'm wondering if that lover killed him?"
"A lover? What lover? How did you find out? Did your dad tell you?"
“It has nothing to do with my dad. I heard it from a coworker. He lives on the street in Yushan Township. He said the barber’s mistress is mute and is ten or twenty years younger than him. It’s really like an old cow eating young grass.”
Yes, Liang Guoping used the idiom "an old ox eating young grass".
After hearing this, Qiuyue said somewhat dejectedly:
"Oh dear, I don't want to hear this useless stuff. I thought you knew who killed the barber?"
"Qiuyue, why are you so concerned about the murderer? What does this have to do with you?"
Qiu Yue poked Liang Guoping's forehead twice with her finger and mocked:
"You pig-headed idiot, think about it. If the murderer is someone from our Hongqi Factory, hiding among us, how dangerous would that be? Besides, didn't the police recently move into the factory to find any possible enemy agents? What if enemy agents infiltrate our factory and cause sabotage? That's no small matter. Our factory is an explosives factory. If there's an explosion, it would be a catastrophic event."
Liang Guoping chuckled sheepishly.
"Hehe, Qiuyue, I didn't expect you to be so security-conscious. I think enemy agents would never infiltrate our factory. If they had, they would have already carried out sabotage and bombings, instead of waiting until today to make their move. Don't you think so?"
At this point, he added:
“Qiuyue, I heard from my dad that the police are only investigating people over fifty, and especially those over sixty. Only those people are likely to be enemy agents who have been lying in wait since the early days of liberation. So, your parents and my parents are excluded.”
"Then go home and ask your dad, the police officer, why they talked to my mom? Are they suspecting her?"
Liang Guoping immediately shook his head in denial, and then gave a three-part argument.
"Qiuyue, there's no need to ask, and it's impossible. Think about it, how could you suspect your mother?"
“I heard from my dad that the police have ruled out your parents. They talked to your mom because the barber had been to the clinic and seen your mom for treatment, and not just once.”
“You should also know that when the police investigate a case, they will definitely screen and question anyone who is related to the victim. Besides, questioning is not interrogation. If they really suspected your mother, the case has been going on for so many days, wouldn’t the police have arrested and handcuffed your mother and taken her away by now?”
Upon hearing this, Qiuyue's eyes widened in surprise.
She raised her leg and kicked Liang Guoping in front of him, then shouted loudly:
"Liang Guoping, can't you speak like a human being? The police have arrested your mother! They've arrested your whole family."
As Qiuyue spoke, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, her breathing became rapid, and a pained expression appeared on her face.
Liang Guoping felt a pang of panic upon seeing this. He grabbed Qiu Yue's arm and asked:
"Qiuyue, what's wrong with you?"
