Chapter 43 Miao Girl
Father Yang looked at Song Changsheng eagerly, his eyes no longer able to shed tears. "My Xirui is such a good child. She loves me and her mother so much. Some time ago, she said that when she got her first salary, she would take us to eat French food and show us what foreigners eat."
"Captain Song, tell me, how could my Xirui commit suicide? How could she possibly commit suicide!"
As he spoke, Yang's father couldn't stop patting his thigh.
Finally, he squatted on the ground, his angry questions turning into low sobs, "I've been incompetent in this life, and I made them, mother and daughter, suffer with me all their lives. Now..."
"Blame me, it's all my fault..."
"Old Yang, where is Ruirui?" Mother Yang ate the noodles slowly but neatly, not at all like a mentally ill patient. When she smiled, her eyes and brows curved like the bright moon.
When talking about her daughter, Mother Yang was obviously very happy. "When Ruirui comes back, tell her to pack her things quickly. She got first place in the exam this time. Mom will definitely be very happy when we get home!"
"Okay, okay." Father Yang didn't care about anything else and wiped away the tears on his face. "Let's go home. We'll take Ruirui home to see grandpa and grandma. Let's go now."
It took a lot of effort to appease Mother Yang.
When he came out and saw that Song Changsheng and the other two hadn't left yet, Father Yang was obviously surprised for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, "I've made a fool of myself for you."
"Xirui's mother has a mental problem. I don't understand what the doctor said. I only know that in Xirui's mother's world, time is disrupted. Maybe she is still living in the present day, and the next moment she is back to her teenage years."
"Hey, that's good too. This way she'll never notice that Xirui is gone..."
As he spoke, Yang's father's eyes became red again.
In fact, they had come to the Yang family several times. Knowing that they would not get any new information by asking more, Song Changsheng said goodbye with Xiao Chen.
But along the way, Song Changsheng was exceptionally silent.
"Captain, you seem to be in a bad mood." Xiao Chen asked carefully: "It's Yang Xirui's parents, is there any problem?"
Song Changsheng turned his head and glanced at Xiao Chen, his tone so calm that no fluctuations could be heard. "Why do you ask?"
"I don't know either. I'm just guessing!" Xiao Chen had obviously been holding it in for the whole journey. When Song Changsheng asked, he immediately sat up straight. "Captain, don't you think that Yang Xirui's mother doesn't fit in with that family?"
Xiao Chen had just finished speaking, but before he could respond, Song Changsheng had already stepped on the brakes, turned his head and stared at him seriously, "Be more specific."
"Captain, look, I'm not looking down on migrant workers. They earn money through their own labor. They're very hardworking and great. What I mean is that Yang Xirui's mother doesn't look like she's ever suffered."
Song Changsheng frowned at Xiao Chen's statement. "Since she has mental problems and her husband is willing to support her, it makes sense that she has never worked outside."
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" Xiao Chen looked Song Changsheng in the eye. "I meant before the marriage, before Yang Xirui's parents got married."
"I'm not generalizing. For a family like Yang Xirui's, her parents wouldn't come from a well-off background. They're probably very poor. Even if there weren't any issues like favoring boys over girls, even if she had a mental problem, she would still have to help with housework!"
"But Captain, have you seen Yang Xirui's mother's hands? Do they look like a pair of hands that have worked?"
"And the book she was reading. Even though it was a comic book, it was obvious that she could read. She could actually understand it. For a woman who was born into poverty and has mental illness, being able to read is strange in itself."
Xiao Chen blurted out everything he wanted to say, and then he realized that Song Changsheng was looking at him strangely.
He was so scared that he immediately hugged his weak self, "Captain, although you are very handsome and manly, we are really not suitable. I like women!"
"Really, I love it!"
Song Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, "If you say another word of nonsense, I'll rip your mouth off!"
"Then why are you looking at me like that?!"
Song Changsheng restarted the car. "I just didn't notice it before. You have a strong sense of observation, good. Keep it up."
"That is..."
Before Xiao Chen could feel proud, Song Changsheng threw his phone at him and said, "Buy two tickets to the neighboring city, the closest one."
"ah?"
Song Changsheng looked ahead, his mind clearer than ever before. "Yang Xirui's network of connections, she still has a great-aunt who lives in the neighboring city."
Hearing the name "grand aunt" suddenly, Xiao Chen took a while to react, "She's Yang Xirui's grandfather's sister?"
Originally, Shi Yu was quite worried about the progress of Xiao Chen and the others. After all, Song Changsheng and the others couldn't see it, but she could see that the little girl named Yang Xirui couldn't hold on for much longer.
So I paid a little attention to it secretly.
It's okay, Captain Song is not too stupid. At this rate, it shouldn't take too long to solve the case. Of course, Shi Yu was not referring to Yang Xirui's suicide case.
That girl committed suicide.
After going back to finalize the details of the contract with Chang Shiyin, Shi Yu turned around and saw a pot bubbling on the table, with vegetables and several kinds of meat placed beside it. His eyes immediately widened.
"Hot pot? Lao Chang, let's have hot pot today!"
Lao Chang in the kitchen responded, then came out carrying a plate of tripe and a plate of yellow throat. "This is sour soup hot pot, a unique flavor of Qiancheng. You can't handle spicy food, right? This is perfect, come and try it!"
Shi Yu nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Lao Chang first served her a small bowl of soup. Unlike the sweet and sour taste of the tomato pot, it was a fermented sour taste with a rich aroma, which was very appetizing in one bite!
"Let's get started!"
Shi Yu raised his chopsticks and ate the beef quickly, not even touching the vegetables. "That's right."
"Speaking of Qiancheng, do you know about Miao women?" Shi Yu chewed on beef and picked at his fingers. "Counting the days, it seems that the time for Miao women to come out of the mountains is almost here."
Old Chang was stunned for a moment, "A Miao girl came out of the mountains?"
"I thought these were all unrealistic legends, but it really happened."
"It's been a long time since anyone has seen a Miao woman. Let alone seeing one, I'm afraid those who are a little younger haven't even heard of one."
Shi Yu knew what Lao Chang meant. Today's ethnic minorities have been severely assimilated into the Sinicization. There are both good and bad sides to the Sinicization. She would not comment on this.
But Miao women...
"They will definitely come out, but they are just hiding themselves better."
