Chapter 1044 The Returnee's Notes 118
Speaking of Li Gui, Aunt Hu couldn't help but mention what Li Gui often said: his wife ran away with someone else because she thought he had no money, leaving him with a child, who later died from illness.
Many people sympathized with him, but Aunt Hu did not. After all, if Li Gui's wife really disliked him, she wouldn't have married him in the first place, and she even gave birth to his child.
After all, as Li Gui himself said, his family had always been poor.
Aunt Hu didn't believe what Li Gui was saying; there must be something else going on. Li Gui was just saying that he deserved pity.
The shop owner was sympathetic; Aunt Hu even mentioned it to the owner's wife, who was also at a loss.
Yu's father was good in every way except that he wasn't very bright and had a soft heart. He believed whatever others said. But since it was just a relationship between the boss and the customer, the boss's wife didn't care much.
Moreover, Li Gui is genuinely good to the Yu family's child. If it weren't for the landlady's evasive remarks, he would have become the child's godfather. This makes it even more puzzling. If he wanted to make a move, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?
Aunt Hu went on and on, and Xie Ning and Ouyang Lin listened to a lot of gossip while sitting on chairs outside. This also attracted many other patients' family members to come over.
Every now and then, Aunt Hu would chime in with agreement, and she became even more enthusiastic, reminding the others to keep a close eye on their own children.
Even when Ouyang Lin said goodbye, she simply waved and then continued to recount what she had heard.
As Ouyang Lin walked out of the hospital, she was still pondering, "Why do you think Li Gui killed that child?"
Is it simply evil? Treating children like kittens and puppies?
"Maybe he wants a child."
How do you know?
Xie Ning's gaze fell on the small cloth bag. Just now, the little devil was clearly next to his mother, but he didn't react. Why did he react so strongly when he was at the police station?
According to Aunt Hu, Li Gui missed his child very much, and his deceased child was about the same age as Xiao Gui.
Li Gui is kind to the little devil, but Aunt Hu's grandson also goes to the shop. Aunt Hu has never said how kind Li Gui is to her grandson, so the implication is quite clear.
Furthermore, according to the information provided by Team Leader Huang, Xiao Gui's time of death was several days later than his disappearance. It's possible that Li Gui treated Xiao Gui like his own child, and didn't just want to be his godfather.
"Of course, these are all just my guesses; it still requires Team Leader Huang and his team to investigate..."
Ouyang Lin glanced at her phone, her eyes widening slightly. "The person has been caught. We'll find out soon enough whether it's what you suspected."
Xie Ning was also stunned. The speed was indeed fast. After all, they had only calculated the other dumping locations in the morning, and it took them a little time to find out where Yu's mother was. It was already past nine o'clock at night.
I only just learned about Li Gui's situation from Aunt Hu.
"When did Captain Huang and his team find out about Li Gui? And where did they arrest him?"
"Let me ask."
Xie Ning nodded, then waved for a taxi, intending to head to the police station.
After getting in the car, Ouyang Lin said, "Team Leader Huang found out at noon today that Li Gui had taken the child away. He searched for the child from all directions all afternoon and evening. And guess where he caught him?"
Xie Ning thought for a moment, recalling the kid's reactions at the police station and just now at the hospital, and asked hesitantly, "Near the police station?"
"clever!"
This guy was really bold. He lied to others and said he was going back to his hometown, but he didn't go anywhere. He didn't even leave Huixian County. He went and settled down near the police station. He probably thought, "The most dangerous place is the safest place."
However, he wasn't very good at hiding. Before, no one suspected him, and once his suspicion was confirmed, finding him wasn't particularly difficult, unless Li Gui had a particularly strong counter-surveillance awareness, which was clearly not the case.
So Huang and his team determined his approximate location simply by watching the road surveillance footage, but they were still very surprised.
After all, no one would think of hiding near the police station.
"Then why did he kill that child?"
After the two arrived at the police station, Officer Huang gave this answer.
"He didn't intend to kill anyone."
Li Gui just wanted to take the child back to his hometown, but the child was still very young. Even though he was close to Li Gui, he still wanted his parents, so he naturally made a fuss.
Then Li Gui accidentally pushed him, causing him to hit the corner of the table and stop breathing on the spot.
Perhaps the child wasn't dead yet, but Li Gui couldn't feel any breathing, and fear rose in his heart.
He killed someone.
At this point, Captain Huang's brows furrowed, because he didn't sense any fear from Li Gui during the interrogation, so he continued to question him further.
Li Gui certainly didn't want to go to jail for this, so he dismembered the child and disposed of the body.
He didn't run off to another place, but stayed in Huixian, appreciating the anxiety of the Yu couple, as if he were seeing his own past self, and a strange sense of pleasure rose in his heart.
"Himself? What do you mean?"
Ouyang Lin was puzzled.
