Chapter 206: Escape 1: A little girl who is not yet an adult, cannot...
Li Xiaohua's child is gone.
After returning from the hospital, I felt like a leaf hit by frost, completely drained of energy.
She looked at the third child who had just returned from outside, full of resentment: "Where have you been? Why didn't you make breakfast?"
Li Xiaobei looked at her calmly. "I went to the funeral home to take care of Mom's affairs. What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?"
The second child immediately complained: "When you were not home, my eldest sister and I went out to buy food. On the way, we met a blind woman who bumped into my eldest sister."
Li Xiaobei immediately put down the ingredients in her hand and quickly walked to the bed. "Who is this? So vicious? Is the child okay?"
Li Xiaohua was filled with resentment: "You actually still care about my child? Weren't you determined to have me beat him up? Now that you're satisfied, you don't have to worry about me giving birth to a child and burdening you anymore!"
Li Xiaobei was so angry that she didn't want to talk to her. "Our mother is dead, and all you can think about is you and your child with the murderer who killed her? Do you think that our mother, my second sister, and I are not human beings? Only Zhao Pingyang and your child are your family?"
Li Xiaohua had hit a dead end. She gritted her teeth and insisted, "Pingyang has been so good to me. I'll never believe he killed Mom! The police must be incompetent! They can't find the real murderer, so they'll say Mom and your brother-in-law killed each other. How great is that? We can just close the case and everyone's happy. Who knows? Maybe the real murderer even gave them some bribes!"
Li Xiaobei was so angry at her stupid words that her stomach ached. She turned to look at her second sister and said, "Come out and tell me what the characteristics of the woman who hit me are."
Li Xiaorui had always been a fence-sitter, siding with whoever was right. She also thought her eldest sister had a point, so she followed the third sister out. "Little sister, I also think the murderer might be someone else. Otherwise, why would something happen to my eldest sister? The real murderer must have been desperate and wanted to kill my eldest sister and the child to silence them. So my eldest sister and I both think this person might be my brother-in-law's enemy. Maybe he offended someone in the countryside."
This does make sense. The murderer had a grudge against Zhao Pingyang, so he was not satisfied with killing Zhao Pingyang and his mother-in-law, and he also wanted to kill his widow and posthumous child.
Li Xiaobei countered, "Do you think it's possible? If you have a grudge against Zhao Pingyang, why didn't you kill his mother? How can killing your mother-in-law be considered a grudge? Also, do you think the police are just freeloaders? They've already investigated the scene and confirmed there was no one else at the time. It's okay if you're stupid, but do you think the police are just as stupid as you?"
The second brother was very surprised: "No trace of a third person? Maybe he returned to the scene and cleaned up all the traces."
Li Xiaobei laughed in anger. "Use your noble pig brain and think carefully. Is it possible? You can think of things that the police can't? You solved a cross-provincial serial murder case? That's ridiculous. The police wouldn't even tolerate such extremely dangerous cases, so how could they do anything wrong with a case like this? Or do you think that after Director Hu's downfall, the new Director Yuan was incompetent and allowed a bunch of idlers to infiltrate the police force?"
The second brother thought about it and felt that what the younger sister said made sense, so he could only sigh.
Li Xiaobei urged, "Tell me quickly, what exactly are the characteristics of the woman who hit someone? Have you called the police?"
The second child thought for a moment and said, "I took my eldest sister to the hospital, but I didn't have time to call the police. That person wasn't very tall, about 1.5 meters, thin, and very strong. Because she was wearing a headscarf and covering her face, I couldn't see what she looked like. Oh, and when she bumped past me, I smelled the bad breath of someone who had eaten raw garlic cloves. And, there was a strand of hair sticking out from under her headscarf, it was dry and yellow. Maybe she was malnourished?"
"Don't you think you are contradictory? You are malnourished, but very strong?" Li Xiaobei was speechless. She, the second sister, was really useless, so she had to go to the police station in person.
After Li Xiaobei left, the second child sighed silently and went into the room: "Sister, don't cry. Little sister T also cares about you very much. She went to deal with our mother's funeral and really didn't have time to cook. Don't be angry, ah."
Li Xiaohua had a sad face and didn't say anything. If the man's features were not so obvious, completely different from her younger sister's, she would even suspect that it was her younger sister who bumped into her.
After all, her younger sister forced her to have an abortion last night, and she had an accident the next day.
Now she could only suspect that Zhao Pingyang really had enemies outside.

At lunch time, Lao He, who was on duty at the police station, was called over by a family to deal with a family conflict and was away.
Li Xiaobei had no choice but to come to find Tang Fengyuan, who was having dinner in a small courtyard by the lake.
It was midsummer, the weather was dry and hot. In order to have a cool lunch, Yao Zhizhi moved the dining table to the back door, where she could enjoy the breeze and feel very comfortable.
Yang Shuming, who was standing by, was discussing his views on the case with Tang Fengyuan.
Yang Shuming always felt that this case was not as simple as it seemed: "First, Xiao Sun told me that Li Xiaobei accused Zhao Pingyang of having bad intentions towards her. But Xiao Sun took people to visit the employees of the sugar factory, and they all said that Zhao Pingyang was usually humble, polite, and kind. A few days ago, he even helped a neighbor kill a poisonous snake that was coiled on the bed. There were many people in the factory at the time, and no one dared to step forward, but he was the only one who stood up. Many people were willing to testify that Zhao Pingyang was a good person. But they also said that Li Man was a good person. If someone asked for leave for something, Li Man would take the initiative to help finish the work that day, and would not ask them to make up an extra period of work or deduct their wages. So you see, why did two recognized good people die at the hands of each other?"
Tang Fengyuan glanced at Yao Zhizhi. As his daughter-in-law, she should know something. After all, there were only his family members here, so there was nothing to worry about. So he asked, "Zhizhi, do you have anything to say?"
Yao Zhizhi calmly put down her chopsticks. "You have two pieces of information missing. First, Zhang Tianping died last year on a section of railroad track between the northeast and Shanhaiguan. Second, Zhao Pingyang is Director Zhao's illegitimate son. He married Li Xiaohua out of revenge. Using these two as a starting point, you'll find the answer."
"Zhang Tianping is dead?" Yang Shuming was a little surprised. "How come I didn't know?"
Yao Zhizhi was helpless: "Not to mention you, even his daughters may not know everything. Li Man still has the note for his sick leave, with all the necessary paperwork. If I just say it, it's unfounded and no one would believe me, so I didn't mention it. Li Man also relied on her own tricks to hide it from both sides, so they found good jobs as soon as they came back. As for Zhao Pingyang's identity, my second uncle had already written an anonymous letter for me to remind Li Man, but unfortunately she didn't find out at the time and let her daughter marry Zhao Pingyang anyway."
"Then I know why they wanted to kill each other." Tang Fengyuan sighed, "Most likely Zhao Pingyang noticed Zhang Tianping was gone and wanted to attack Li Man's daughter, but he wasn't completely sure, so he called Li Man out to test her strength. Li Man must have also noticed Zhao Pingyang's intentions and took the opportunity to kill him."
"Maybe it's not that simple." Yang Shuming added, "I've seen Li Man before. With her physique, it wouldn't be easy for her to kill an adult male. Li Man must have help!"
"Yes, there must be help." Tang Fengyuan also agreed with this speculation. "It could be her daughter, or a friend from her workplace, or a relative from her hometown. In short, this case is far from as simple as it seems."
Yao Zhizhi was a little curious: "They're both dead, is there any need to continue investigating?"
Tang Fengyuan nodded. "Yes, we do. The person is dead, and the murderer has been identified, but we still have to go through the process. Not only do we need to collect evidence, investigate the motive, and confirm the facts of the crime, but we also need to eliminate potential dangerous factors. For example, this accomplice must be found and brought to justice."
Yang Shuming picked up his chopsticks. "That's right. Ultimately, neither of the two deceased will bear any criminal responsibility, as the perpetrators are dead. However, all necessary procedures must be followed. Let's eat quickly. This afternoon, I'll have Xiao Sun and the others investigate the recent whereabouts of Li Man's three daughters."
As they were talking, Li Xiaobei arrived. She politely greeted everyone and looked at Tang Fengyuan: "Director Tang, I want to report a case. This morning, a woman hit my eldest sister and caused her to have a miscarriage. In this case, if the murderer is found, can they be sentenced?"
"It depends on whether she did it on purpose or accidentally." Tang Fengyuan frowned. "Do you know what that person's characteristics are?"
Li Xiaobei gestured according to her second sister's description.
Tang Fengyuan was helpless: "These features are not very obvious. Is there anything easier to identify?"
"No more." Li Xiaobei shook her head. "If you can't find it, forget it."
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll take you to file a case." Tang Fengyuan quickly finished the rice in the bowl. This kind of thing will only be handed over to Yang Shuming for handling after it is confirmed that it was intentional and classified as a criminal case.
If it's just carelessness, then it's a civil dispute and you just have to pay compensation.
After reporting the case, Li Xiaobei did not leave. Instead, she asked Tang Fengyuan if there were any clues about her mother's case.
Tang Fengyuan didn't want to reveal the progress of the case, so he used a reasonable excuse: "I'm sorry, this is a criminal case, and Captain Yang and his team are in charge. He's a very tight-lipped person, and he won't discuss a case with anyone outside the police force until it's cleared up. You should go ask him."
Li Xiaobei nodded silently: "Okay, thank you Director Tang. It's hot, you should take care of yourself. My mother couldn't sleep well every day before the accident. She always felt that someone was trying to harm her. I thought she was old and likes to overthink things, but I didn't expect..."
After all, Tang Fengyuan is an experienced police officer, and her intuition tells her that Li Xiaobei might be laying the groundwork for something.
So she calmly said thank you, left the office, and came back for lunch.
She went to the backyard specifically to ask Yao Zhizhi, "Is your system ringing?"
"Mom, you have to ask Changxiao about criminal cases." Yao Zhizhi's system is only responsible for watching the show, and those who commit murder and arson can only watch the fun from a third-person perspective.
Tang Fengyuan couldn't help laughing. He was almost fifty years old and was getting confused. He quickly asked Qi Changxiao.
Qi Changxiao operated the system for a while and confirmed: "It was her. She bought sleeping pills, so Zhao Pingyang couldn't resist with all his strength. If it weren't for this, Li Man would have been the only one to die."
"This kid is really cruel." Tang Fengyuan was very surprised. He is not even an adult yet, but he can be so decisive and cruel. What will he be like when he grows up?
Notify Yang Shuming immediately, don't rest, go to the nearby clinic and hospital, and investigate Li Xiaobei's medical treatment and prescription records.
Unfortunately, Li Xiaobei had been on guard and used a fake name when she went to get the medicine.
It was difficult to arrest someone without evidence, so we could only find the doctor on duty that night and ask her to describe the patient's height, build and appearance so that we could identify Li Xiaobei as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry, police comrades, Xiao Xu went to another place to get married and just resigned." The doctor on duty at the clinic felt very sorry that he could not help the police.
"What does this Xiao Xu look like? Do you know her contact address?" Xiao Sun frowned. This was too much of a coincidence. Could it be that Li Xiaobei bribed her and she was deliberately avoiding them?
The doctor on duty gave a brief description: he was 1.6 meters tall, very thin, and had dry and gray hair.
"Xiao Xu has always been in poor health, so we all advised her not to get married and have children, as it would be fatal." The doctor on duty sighed, "I didn't expect she would still... Sigh. As for her address, we don't know either, we just know she went out of town."
Xiao Sun couldn't help but frown. This person's features sounded a little familiar. Oh, yes, Captain Yang told him before coming that the woman who knocked down Li Xiaohua also had blonde hair and was very thin, but the height didn't match.
Xiao Sun lowered his head to write down the characteristics in his workbook, said thank you, and after thinking it over, decided to go to the sugar factory to take a look.
He just couldn't believe it. Could a little girl who wasn't even an adult really be able to fool these core elites?
"You two, start your investigation by looking at the three sisters' whereabouts over the past few days. Go check on Dr. Xiao Xu's relatives and friends." He glanced at the new female teammate and sighed silently, "Xiao Meng, do you want to go back and rest?"
After all, when Xiao Meng went to the scene yesterday, he saw the bodies of Li Man and Zhao Pingyang and vomited so hard that he was dizzy.
He didn't dare let anything happen to this ancestor, after all, she was the daughter of a senior provincial leader.
I really don't know why such a delicate young lady would come to a place like theirs to train. Wouldn't it be better for her to stay in the provincial capital and enjoy herself?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Meng shook his head and said, "No, I want to go. You have a very capable female police officer here. I want to learn from her and charge to the front line."
Xiao Sun suddenly realized that he was a fan of Director Tang. Okay then.
He checked his watch. "Then you're coming with me? I have to warn you, if you vomit again I won't have time to take care of you."
"I'll take care of myself." Xiao Meng immediately perked up. "Where are you going, Deputy Captain Sun?"
"Visiting the prison!"
