In the dark room, Su Ning, half asleep, felt a little short of breath.
With a few soft moans, she slowly opened her eyes. She knew without guessing that He Ci had returned. He was getting worse and worse, staying up all night and not letting her sleep either.
Su Ning reached out and hugged He Ci's head. Even in the darkness, she could still see his expression; He Ci was smiling wickedly.
"Little darling, I'm back."
Su Ning blocked He Ci's lips from kissing her; she hadn't slept well at all these past few nights because of He Ci's antics.
"Ci-ge, stop messing around. If you keep this up, we should sleep in separate rooms. I'm doing this for your own good."
He Ci pinched Su Ning's little face. He didn't want to take a cold shower, so he could only pretend to be pitiful to gain Su Ning's sympathy.
Whenever He Ci made that expression, Su Ning would soften. He Ci was a cunning fox, and when he played the game of Liaozhai, Su Ning was the one who got eaten.
Bai Yi went to the mainland, and everything went even more smoothly than he had imagined. In the two weeks that he and Heilong spent, they delivered almost all the ashes to the families of the deceased.
When the families received their child's ashes, some were in disbelief, some broke down on the spot, but in the end they were still very grateful to the police in the port city.
Heilong looked at the three photos in his hand, which meant that the ashes of three people had not yet been delivered to their families. Fortunately, the three girls were all from the same village.
After resting for a night, the two headed to Hedi Village in Dafeng County. On the way, Heilong intercepted a villager and began to ask him questions, but the villager spoke a dialect that Heilong and Baiyi could not understand at all.
Just then, Su Tian, Wang Meng, and Sun Man were passing by on their way home from get off work. Hearing the two asking about Wu Xiaohua's address, Su Tian stopped her car.
"Who are you? Why are you asking where Wu Xiaohua lives?"
Heilong was thankful; he never expected that someone could finally communicate with them.
Bai Yi took out his ID and introduced himself, "Miss, don't be afraid. I'm a police officer from Hong Kong. I'm here on business at Wu Xiaohua's house."
Su Tian reached out and took Bai Yi's ID, looked at the photo on it and compared it with his appearance, then returned it to him.
"Come with me!"
Su Tian and her group brought Bai Yi and Hei Long to Wu Fugui's house, followed by onlookers.
Su Tian shouted loudly at the old lady picking beans under the big tree.
"Grandma Wu, there's news about Xiaohua."
Upon hearing this, the old lady dropped the winnowing basket in her hand to the ground. She stood up and walked away quickly with her small feet.
"Sweetie, what did you say! Where's Little Flower?"
Su Tian introduced Bai Yi and Hei Long to Grandma Wu. Although her Mandarin was not standard, Bai Yi and Hei Long could still understand her.
"Grandma Wu, is Uncle Fugui home? These two are police officers from Hong Kong. They may have something important to discuss with you."
When Grandma Wu heard that the police were from Gangcheng, she instinctively thought that her granddaughter had done something wrong and had been arrested. She spoke a lot of dialect, which Bai Yi and Heilong couldn't understand at all.
Bai Yi looked at Su Tian pleadingly, hoping she could translate the old lady's words.
Grandma Wu asked, "Where is Xiaohua? Did she do something wrong?"
Bai Yi shook his head. Seeing that more and more people were gathering around him, he didn't like being watched while he was handling cases and hoped to find a quiet place to talk.
When Wu Fugui heard that two policemen from Gangcheng had come to his house, he dropped what he was doing and rushed home. He figured the policemen from Gangcheng must be related to Xiaohua.
A woman rushed over from the crowd and grabbed Bai Yi. She rattled off a bunch of things in a foreign language, but Bai Yi couldn't understand a word. It was Su Tian who helped translate!
"Officer Bai, she is Ning Yun's mother. Xiao Hua and Ning Yun went out together, and she wants to know if there is any news about her daughter."
Bai Yi had a rough idea of what was going on; the two families knew each other, and he guessed the other girl's name was probably known as well.
"Is there another girl here named Yang Hui? Are her family members in the crowd?"
