Qin Wan lowered his voice, moved closer to Ge Xiuxiu, and asked cautiously:
"Who is that old lady who looks to be in her fifties? I don't think I've ever seen her before."
Ge Xiuxiu also replied softly:
"Oh, this is a new face. It's normal that you haven't seen her before. Even I'm seeing her for the first time! She is Captain Liu's mother-in-law! She heard that Captain Liu's wife is pregnant, so she rushed over to take care of her daughter."
Qin Wan listened to Ge Xiuxiu's explanation, but couldn't help but murmur in his heart:
Captain Liu's mother-in-law? Why would she show up at this time? Is it a coincidence or something else?
Thinking of this, Qin Wan secretly made up his mind:
No, I must pay more attention to this old lady and observe her carefully. If I can really find some clues, that would be great; even if I find nothing in the end, it would only waste a day or two.
Under the current circumstances, there is no clue in the investigation of the left and right cases. It would be better to look for a breakthrough from this seemingly insignificant person. Maybe there will be unexpected gains.
In the next few days, Qin Wan liked to push a stroller and stroll around Captain Liu's house leisurely whenever he had time.
Sometimes, she would stand in a corner and look at the Liu family from afar; sometimes she would pretend to pass by the Liu family's door inadvertently, and then quickly glance at the situation inside the house.
However, Captain Liu's mother-in-law seemed unaware of Qin Wan's actions and was still busy going in and out every day.
But the old lady didn't seem to talk much, spending most of her time doing this and that in Captain Liu's yard. When she did come out, she would just wander around and then go back, rarely visiting the door to chat with the neighbors.
Qin Wan carefully observed the skin condition of the old lady's hands and neck. After a thorough examination, he did not notice anything unusual.
This old lady's words, actions and clothing are no different from those of ordinary old people.
However, the strong intuition in Qin Wan's heart could not be shaken off, making her firmly believe that the old lady in front of her was not as simple as she seemed.
It was as if there was a mysterious force pulling her, telling her that there must be an unknown secret hidden in it.
Although he couldn't remember where the key flaw was for the time being, Qin Wan didn't intend to give up.
After repeated consideration, she decided to find an appropriate time to approach the old lady and see if she could get some extremely important information out of her.
At night, Qin Wan went to Chen Jiming's house again, but when she got to the broken wooden box, she found that the diary was gone.
Who would take a diary?
She released her mental power again and searched the Chen family carefully. In the end, she had a splitting headache and still couldn't find it.
Qin Wan returned home dejectedly, and until she fell asleep, she was still wondering who would have taken the diary away.
It was a sunny and breezy day, and Qin Wan was strolling leisurely with her baby carriage. Just as she was immersed in this tranquility and leisure, she suddenly ran into Captain Liu's wife, Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu has a pretty face and is gentle and charming. She is kind and friendly to others in her daily life and has an excellent reputation among her neighbors.
However, since her family name is Wang, people occasionally call her "Sister Wang".
Mrs. Liu was standing at the door of her house, talking leisurely with Ge Xiuxiu. When she looked up, she saw Qin Wan's petite figure walking towards her.
A bright smile immediately spread across her face, and she walked towards Qin Wan and said, "Xiao Qin, come here and talk."
At this time, it can be clearly seen that Mrs. Liu's abdomen is slightly bulging, and it is obvious that she has been pregnant for several months.
Perhaps because she was pregnant, Mrs. Liu exuded a maternal glow and showed extraordinary love for the children around her.
When Wang Saozi saw Qin Wan coming from afar, her four innocent, lively and adorable children instantly came to mind. Involuntarily, Wang Saozi raised her hand and greeted Qin Wan warmly. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile spread across her face, making her look very friendly.
Qin Wan also smiled and quickened his pace as he walked towards Mrs. Wang.
Before she got close, Mrs. Liu could no longer contain her joy and rushed forward impatiently. She bent down and started to tease the four little ones with a loving face.
The four boys were not shy at all. They were like four cheerful little birds. When Mrs. Liu teased them, they laughed sweetly from time to time.
The laughter rose and fell, intertwined together, like a beautiful and melodious piece of music, echoing in the air from time to time, making the originally quiet and peaceful courtyard suddenly become extremely lively.
Just as the two were having fun with the children, the big-headed grandma who lived next door and always liked to join in the fun heard the laughter coming from here. She was very curious and hurried over with the sole of her shoe in one hand and small steps.
After a while, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yu, who had just finished their meal and cleaned up the kitchen, also came over and joined this happy team.
For a moment, everyone gathered together, talking one after another, some talked about family matters, some shared the latest news they heard, and others praised the children's cute appearance.
The atmosphere on the scene was extremely warm and lively, even more festive than the Chinese New Year!
In this relaxed and joyful atmosphere, the relationship between Qin Wan and Captain Liu's lover, Mrs. Liu, quickly warmed up unknowingly. The distance between them became closer and closer, as if their hearts were stuck together.
