Chapter 99 Suspicious Points Discovered
Although she had never had a proper romantic relationship in her previous life, Jiang Si still understood this basic physiological knowledge.
Not to mention she also has a group of girlfriends who chat about anything and everything.
Boys can't even imagine how dirty girls' chat logs can get!
In any case, every time Jiang Si glanced at it, her face would flush and her heart would race.
However, there is a significant difference between the level of discussion in the chat and the actual experience.
At this critical juncture, Jiang Si dared not make any rash moves, for fear of accidentally getting herself into trouble.
The word "shy" doesn't exist in her dictionary, but that only applies between them.
She still cares about her reputation in front of her elders.
Seeing that she was slightly lost in thought, Huo Tingzhou moved closer again, his voice so low it was almost inaudible.
"The soundproofing in this house isn't very good, and my grandparents and parents are light sleepers..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si's face flushed slightly, and her ears burned.
"You...you're different from before."
"How are they different?"
“You would never have said something like that before.”
Although he was domineering and assertive in the past, that was only towards outsiders.
Unlike now.
His aura had completely changed.
At that moment, Huo Tingzhou buried his head in her neck.
He wanted to say that the past was the past, and now they were husband and wife, but he swallowed the words back.
Sure enough, he still couldn't bear to force her even a little bit.
Taking a deep breath, Huo Tingzhou spoke with a helpless yet slightly hoarse tone.
"If you don't want to go..."
“I didn’t say I didn’t want to go.” Jiang Si was a little surprised.
The person who used to have to ask her permission before even getting close to her actually spoke up on her own initiative this time.
Huo Tingzhou was probably stunned by this surprise and took a long time to react.
The next second, he suddenly leaned down and placed his hands on either side of her body.
"Sisi, do you mean you agree?"
Jiang Si didn't say anything, but simply tilted her head back and lightly pecked his thin lips.
She demonstrated her stance through her actions.
She was willing to do this.
Seeing his eyes darken, Jiang Si didn't dare to light the fire anymore and pushed it away.
"Can you let me go now? My pajamas haven't been washed yet, and there's more..."
"I'll go wash up, you lie down for a while longer."
As he spoke, Huo Tingzhou flipped over and jumped off the bed, and Jiang Si couldn't stop him even if she wanted to.
Seeing his energetic appearance, Jiang Si thought to herself.
Well, let him burn off some energy first, otherwise I'll be the one who gets tired tonight.
However, Jiang Si did not stay in the room for long. While her mind was still relatively clear, she went to the study.
Huo Tingzhou came in once during that time and knew that she didn't like to talk when she was painting.
He placed the sliced apple and hot water where she could reach them, then tiptoed out.
Jiang Si stayed in the study for almost three hours, and when she came out, it was already dark outside.
After finishing his meal, Huo Tingzhou found his mother.
His wife is shy, so he definitely wouldn't want to say something like this in front of the whole family.
As soon as the two entered the room, Huo's mother looked him up and down.
She noticed it while eating; the third brother kept glancing in her direction.
As her own son, how could Huo's mother not know what kind of person he was?
The third brother's expression clearly indicates that something has happened.
"Speak, what is it?"
"It's nothing."
Huo Tingzhou touched his nose. "Mom, I want to take Sisi to stay at the Xishan Compound for a few days."
"You're living perfectly well at home, why did you take Sisi to the Xishan compound?"
That's why people say the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are so close they're practically inseparable.
When Huo's mother heard this, her reaction was exactly the same as Jiang Si's.
However, Mr. Huo, who came in a step later than his wife and son, immediately realized what was going on when he heard those words.
He's been there; back when he and Huo's mother first got married, he was just like the third son.
His eyes seemed to want to be glued to his wife all the time.
Seeing that Mrs. Huo was about to say something, Mr. Huo smiled and said, "It's quiet over there, so it would be good for the young couple to stay there for a few days."
"Here, this is the key over there."
"By the way, Sisi really likes the Eight Treasures Tofu and Four Happiness Meatballs from the second canteen."
"You'd better arrive half an hour early to queue up, otherwise you won't be able to get a spot if you're late."
Huo Tingzhou wrote all of this down. "Thank you, Dad."
Mr. Huo waved his hand, "We're family, there's no need for thanks. By the way, you can go over after dinner tomorrow night. Your fourth uncle and his family will be coming."
"Tomorrow?" Mrs. Huo asked.
I had previously said I would invite Lao Si and his family over for dinner, but the police have been investigating that serial murder case and it seems like they haven't had a break for at least half a month.
"Yes, the fourth brother just called this afternoon to say they have the day off tomorrow."
"Hey, Lao Huo, do you think there's any possibility that we've made any progress in that murder case?"
"They might already be arrested!"
The thought of this possibility instantly excited Huo's mother.
Mr. Huo shook his head. "It's hard to say. You know how loose Fourth Brother's tongue is. Unless the criminal is caught, he won't utter a single word."
He wasn't sure of the specifics, but the fourth brother's tone was quite calm today.
Therefore, Mr. Huo felt that this was unlikely.
However, Huo's mother did not think so.
“They’ve been investigating for so long, turning every factory in Beijing upside down. As long as this person is still in Beijing, there’s no way they won’t find out.”
"Third brother, do you think what I said is right?"
Huo Tingzhou paused for a moment, then said, "What if he's not in Beijing?"
Not in Beijing?
Huo's mother bluntly said, "How is that possible? What kind of lunatic would travel all the way to Beijing to kill someone? Is he just bored and has nothing better to do?"
"And I remember reading in the newspapers back then that it seemed to be a crime committed by someone known to the victim."
Mrs. Huo had a habit of keeping newspapers, and as soon as she finished speaking, she went to the cabinet to rummage through them.
In no time, they found those newspaper issues.
“Look, it’s written in the newspaper that this case must have been committed by someone known to the victim.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingzhou took the newspaper, and Huo's father also leaned over to take a look.
When they looked up again, their expressions had clearly changed.
Without further ado, Mr. Huo stood up and said, "I'm going to call your fourth uncle."
What's going on?
Mrs. Huo was taken aback for a moment, then took the newspaper and glanced at it.
"Am I wrong? It's clearly written in black and white here that this case was committed by someone known to the victim."
“Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the child’s parents went on a business trip and he went to the deceased’s house that same day?”
"He lived in their house after killing them, and only left the day before the child's parents returned."
As she spoke, the hairs on Huo's mother's arms stood on end.
"This person is really a pervert, not even sparing such a small child."
When Jiang Si came over after taking a shower, she happened to hear this sentence.
Upon learning of the new discovery, she became somewhat curious.
Upon seeing this, Huo Tingzhou offered them an explanation.
"Based on the reports, it can only be said that the murderer knew about the victim's parents."
"But it's hard to say whether they're acquaintances or not."
Mrs. Huo was completely confused. "He knows about his parents' situation, isn't he an acquaintance?"
At this moment, Jiang Si suddenly noticed the words "Jingxi Mining Bureau" on the newspaper.
