Chapter 1043 The Returnee's Notes 117
However, by the time Team Leader Huang led his men to the low-rent housing, Li Gui was nowhere to be found.
I asked the landlord and learned that the other party had gone back to his hometown at the beginning of the month, saying that his elderly mother was sick.
The landlord, seeing his pitiful state, didn't ask for his deposit back, even though the rental contract hadn't expired.
Therefore, Captain Huang had no choice but to contact the police in Li Gui's hometown and request their assistance.
Based on the location where the body was dumped, Huang and his team discovered that Li Gui had been to that upscale residential area to install light bulbs, and it was around that time that he dumped the remaining parts of the body into the artificial lake.
The locations where the bodies were dumped were completely random, which is why they had such a hard time investigating, and also why they ruled out Li Gui as a suspect.
While requesting assistance from the police in Li Gui's hometown, Captain Huang also led a team to check Li Gui's movements and the surrounding road surveillance footage from that day in order to determine whether Li Gui had really returned to his hometown.
If he didn't return to his hometown, where did Li Gui flee to?
While Captain Huang was running around investigating the case, Ouyang Lin and Xie Ning only saw Yu's mother sleeping in the hospital room. There was only an older woman, about fifty years old, taking care of her. Yu's father was nowhere to be seen.
The two exchanged a glance, and Ouyang Lin stepped forward with the fruit basket, asking, "Grandma, are you here alone? Where is the patient's husband?"
The middle-aged woman, who was eating on a small stool, glanced at Ouyang Lin, wondering, "Who are you?"
She's very wary now. Li Gui seems like such an honest and kind person, yet he could do such a wicked thing. He's vicious.
Because of the tragedy that befell the Yu family's child, everyone in that area is now keeping a closer eye on their children, especially when dealing with outsiders.
However, now that we know it was Li Gui who took the child away, even if Li Gui isn't the real culprit, he's still connected to the murderer.
She knew that Li Gui had said he had never seen the baby.
So even when facing acquaintances, people aren't so at ease.
“We are reporters from a newspaper. We heard about their story and came to find out more. The patient is still asleep, so it's not good to disturb her. Would you be willing to talk to us?”
Ouyang Lin could lie without batting an eye; she couldn't very well say she was a ghost hunter, could she? Saying she was a police officer wouldn't work either.
Originally, seeing that his mother was ill, he wanted to ask where his father was, but now he had no choice but to tell a lie.
Moreover, Ouyang Lin had heard Xie Ning say that Yu's mother fainted after receiving a phone call, and she wanted to know the inside story, hoping to gain some insights.
"Are you a reporter?"
Aunt Hu glanced at Ouyang Lin and Xie Ning; the two of them seemed quite cultured.
Xie Ning was wearing a mask and dressed in a simple and mature style, so she didn't immediately give the impression of being a child. As for her height, that wasn't a big issue, since some adults aren't very tall either.
Aunt Hu turned her head and glanced at Yu's mother, who was fast asleep, before leading Ouyang Lin and the other woman outside. "You two have to expose that heartless bastard. He's too cruel. How could he do that to such a young child?"
Although Aunt Hu herself was not sure if Li Gui did it, it seemed that Li Gui was the most suspicious person at the moment!
After all, her little grandson saw Li Gui take the person away. Her child is so stupid, why didn't he say so earlier? The Yu couple were frantically searching for their child.
If they had said it earlier, maybe the Yu family's child wouldn't have died?
But these are all fates, alas.
"...Actually, I've long felt that Li Gui is not a good person. Don't we often have garbage cans piled up with garbage and swill at the back door of our kitchen?"
Then stray cats would often rummage through the food, and the landlady would occasionally leave some meat for the cats. Over time, stray cats and dogs started to frequent the area.
Li Gui took some food and a cage to catch cats and dogs, then took them to the dog meat shop. Since he couldn't sell the cats, he caught them to play with, and beat several of them to death..."
The proprietress liked cats and dogs, and she disliked Li Gui when she saw him, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, cats and dogs aren't people, and there are plenty of people in the village who kill cats when they come to steal food.
The shop owner didn't care much; not everyone likes small animals, and some people just don't.
How can you use this to judge whether a person is good or bad?
