"I didn't pay attention to the time. It shouldn't be dawn that soon. Xiao Huan, you should sleep a little longer. It will be dawn when you wake up."

"I can't sleep."

"Then I'll read to you."

Yun Huan gave her a look of disdain, "Your accent is too strong. I can't stand it."

Yun Yao's face froze for a moment, then she said, "Then put on your earphones and listen to music."

Yun Huan didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

Yun Yao found a tape of Yun Huan's favorite singer, put it into the Walkman, and gave Yun Huan the earphones to put on.

To the sound of the melodious and soothing music, Yun Huan closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Looking at the sky outside the window that was gradually turning white, Yun Yao breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the folding bed in the room to catch up on her sleep.

Due to severe injuries and excessive blood loss, Zhu Hongping died before he was even taken to the hospital.

When the police found Li Li and Ling Jiang and told them the news of Zhu Hongping's death, the couple did not believe it.

"Are you kidding? My mom talked to me this morning and said she was going out for a while and would be back soon."

Ling Jiang couldn't believe it either. He was fine last night, so how come he was gone when he woke up?

"Comrade Public Security, did you find the wrong person?"

The police showed the identity information they had found, "Zhu Hongping, 47 years old, from Lijia Village, Yushan Town. Her husband is Li Dajun. They have a daughter and a son. The daughter is Li Li and the son is Li Zhijie..."

Hearing this, Li Li was completely dumbfounded.

Is it really her mother? Her mother is dead?

"My, my mother, where is she now?"

At this time, Li Li's hands and feet were cold and she couldn't even speak clearly. If Ling Jiang hadn't supported her, she would have collapsed to the ground.

The police took the couple to the morgue of the Criminal Police Brigade.

Looking at the corpse bed covered with white cloth, Li Li was so shocked and frightened that she dared not go forward.

"Lao Ling, go and see."

In this regard, Ling Jiang is much calmer than Li Li.

When Ling's father and mother passed away one after another, he took care of their funeral affairs personally.

Although he was mentally prepared, Ling Jiang was still shocked when he saw Zhu Hongping's gray and stiff face under the white cloth.

"Lao Ling, you are talking to me, are you talking to me, mom?"

Seeing Ling Jiang standing there in a daze and not saying anything for a long time, Li Li couldn't help but urge him.

Ling Jiang opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his voice was hoarse and rough.

"Li, it's mom..."

Li Li was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and uncovered the white cloth. She saw Zhu Hongping lying coldly and straight, as if he had been cast under a spell.

“Oh my god!!”

Miserable cries were heard from the morgue.

Outside the door, Sun Siliang, the criminal police captain in charge of this case, ordered his men as if nothing had happened, "When the family members are calm, take them to record their statements."

"yes."

"By the way, have you found the person who reported the case?"

"No, the other party reported the case using a pay phone. It was still dark at that time and there were no witnesses on the road."

As he was speaking, an investigator came towards him in a hurry.

"Captain Sun, we found a clue about the wallet!"

The staff member took out the small notebook he carried with him for case records and said, "According to the name on the purchase order in the wallet left at the scene, we found that there is only one person named Yun Yao in the city. She is the eldest daughter of the CEO of Hongda Real Estate. She is 18 years old this year. She previously studied at No. 3 Middle School and Nanming, and is currently on leave from school at home."

Hearing this, Sun Siliang immediately picked up his coat and said, "Let's go meet her at her house."

Siheyuan.

Yun Mo, Xu Lixue, and Xu Gang sat opposite each other.

From Xu Gang, Yun Mo and Xu Lixue had already learned about Yun Yao's attack on Zhu Hongping, and Xu Lixue had already learned through his information channels that Zhu Hongping was already dead.

In the depressing and dull atmosphere, Xu Gang couldn't help but speak, "Miss Yun, uncle, why don't we go to the police and explain the matter clearly."

Xu Lixue shook his head, "It's not that easy to explain."

The fact that Xu Gang appeared at that place at that time was suspicious in itself, not to mention that he used Yun Yao's wallet to exchange for Yun Mo's student ID. This was considered intentional destruction of the crime scene, and he might end up in jail.

Xu Gang was a little worried, "Uncle, am I overdoing it?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

After all, he is a young man who is not even 20 years old. It is inevitable that he feels scared and uneasy when something like this happens.

Yun Mo comforted him, "Xu Gang, thank you for everything you have done for me as your employer. Don't worry, if I really trace it back to you, I will do my best to keep you safe."

Xu Lixue also patted his nephew Xu Gang on the shoulder and said, "You little brat, I'm here, why are you panicking?"

Xu Gang quickly said: "I'm not panicking."

Anyone with eyes could see Xu Gang's panic and anxiety, but Yun Mo and Xu Lixue did not expose him.

Yun Mo found the half bottle of plum wine that was left over from last time and poured some for Xu Gang in a bowl.

"Drink a couple of sips to calm your nerves."

As the aroma of the wine dissipated, the air was filled with the mellow and tempting fruity fragrance. Xu Gang tilted his head back and drank the plum wine in the bowl in one gulp, then put the bowl down with great pride.

"More."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lixue rolled his eyes at him, "Have you forgotten what you said when you were drunk last time?"

Xu Gang scratched the back of his head and said, "Forget it, I won't drink it."

Yun Mo shoed the bottle at Xu Gang with amusement, "If you like it, take it home and drink it slowly."

Xu Gang subconsciously looked at Xu Lixue, and seeing that the other party showed no emotion, he took the bottle of wine with a smile.

"Miss Yun, I won't be polite to you, thank you."

Yun Mo replied: "You have helped me a lot. Let alone treating you to half a bottle of wine, I should even treat you to a hundred bottles."

Seeing that Xu Gang's emotions had stabilized, Xu Lixue started to talk about business.

"Ms. Yun, in my opinion, we should wait and see what the police can find out. It was dark at the time, and Xiaogang didn't see the crime clearly. He wouldn't be able to explain it clearly in front of the police, and he would be easily regarded as a suspect."

Yun Mo nodded, "Okay, let's take a look at the situation first. It would be best if Xiao Gang is not involved."

Not long after Xu Lixue and Xu Gang left, Ling Jiang came to the door to report a death.

In addition to announcing the death, Ling Jiang also came specifically to ask Ling Chuan to go to the Li family to help with the funeral arrangements.

Li Li and Li Zhijun, a brother and sister, one had an injured foot and the other was still in prison. Zhu Hongping was a bully in the village and was so aggressive and domineering that no one was willing to help him. The relatives of the Li family had also cut off contact with the Li family because of Zhu Hongping.

After a day of hard work, the mourning hall was barely set up.

But apart from Li Dajun, Li Li, and the Ling family, there was no other guest who came to pay their respects.

Zhu Hongping was domineering and powerful all his life, but after his death he became so lonely and desolate.

I wonder if Zhu Hongping in his grave would regret not being more tolerant to others when he was alive.
