Pei Nuo's series of actions really surprised and delighted Sheng An Ning. He actually knew how to steal things.
Smiling, he opened the bag, took out a handful of candies and gave them to Pei Nuo, and also gave one to Duo Duo: "Xiao Nuo, you ate my candies, so you can't be angry with me. Forgive me, I will buy you candies in the future."
Pei Nuo puffed up his cheeks and said nothing, as if he had been thinking for a long time. He gave one of the candies in his hand to Sheng An Ning, as if he had forgiven her.
Sheng An Ning smiled and rubbed Pei Nuo's head: "Xiao Nuo is really the cutest girl in the world. Thank you Xiao Nuo for forgiving me. I will never make Xiao Nuo angry again in the future."
Pei Nuo licked the corner of his lips, pursed his lips and ate the candy in his mouth, ignoring Sheng An Ning, but his expression was relaxed and happy.
Lin Wanyin reached out and patted Sheng Anning's hand: "Don't mess with it. I just braided Xiaonuo's hair into a fishbone braid. Her black and shiny hair looks good when it's braided."
Sheng An Ning smiled and rubbed Pei Nuo's chubby little face before running to the kitchen to find Sheng Mingyuan to find out what was going on.
Knowing that they went to the zoo in the afternoon, Pei Nuo suddenly started laughing after seeing the lion. His expression became much more lively and he made more small movements.
Sheng Mingyuan also mentioned a detail: "Pei Nuo knew to go to the toilet on his own initiative, and knew to hold your brother's hand and point to the bathroom."
Sheng An Ning felt a little unbelievable: "Is this because I saw the lion opening up the Ren and Du meridians?"
She also believed that Pei Nuo would get better, but she didn't expect that he would change so much in just one afternoon. It was really hard to believe.
Sheng Mingyuan smiled and nodded: "In her situation, if she is willing to come out, she knows everything. If she closes herself off, she will be completely closed off. She has carefully taken the first step now, and things will definitely get better in the future. However, your move this afternoon was really hasty. If it backfires, you will regret it."
Sheng An Ning sighed: "I just want to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible. I think Madam Pei and the others must have treated Pei Nuo like this more than once or twice, so I think she will have a reaction, but it won't be a big one. After all, she's used to it."
Sheng Mingyuan frowned: "If this is true, this child will have a hard time these years."
As a man who has experienced so much, he dare not even imagine what a little girl has faced over the years.
At night, Sheng Chengan planned to stay here for one night, but he didn't leave, and Pei Nuo didn't leave either, holding his hand tightly.
In the end, Sheng Chengan had no choice but to go back with Sheng An Ning and Pei Nuo, who was like a little tail.
On the way, Sheng An Ning also deliberately teased Pei Nuo to talk, but Pei Nuo just pursed his lips and said nothing.
Sheng Chengan looked at Pei Nuo, who was obedient and silent, and instead held his hand tightly, and reminded Sheng Anning: "Okay, don't push her too hard, take it slow, she has made great progress today."
Sheng An Ning couldn't help but laugh when she saw her brother protecting his child.
…
Zhou Luancheng didn't come back. The next morning, Sheng Anning left early and went to the bureau to find Zhou Luancheng and told him about her suspicions.
Zhou Luancheng was shocked when he heard this: "If it's really like what you said, it's simply too inhumane."
It is unimaginable how these people could do such a thing to a little girl.
However, he still considered what Sheng An Ning said very seriously and felt that it made some sense. Although Mrs. Pei had an alibi in the matter of Mr. Pei, it could not prove that she had not harmed Pei Nuo.
After Zhou Luancheng and Sheng An Ning separated, they went directly to Pei's home.
Mr. Pei's body was taken away and the funeral was not held. Wreaths and various paper money were scattered in the yard, making the small yard look particularly desolate.
The whole yard was so quiet that if the door hadn't been open and there had been slight noises coming from the house, one would have thought that no one was home.
The door to the main room was open. When Zhou Luancheng approached, he saw Madam Pei sitting on the ground, throwing paper money into a brazier one by one.
He was mumbling something, but I couldn't hear what he was saying.
Zhou Luancheng stood in silence for a while, and waited until Mrs. Pei had scattered all the paper money in her hand before he coughed lightly.
Madam Pei turned around and saw that it was Zhou Luancheng. She stood up expressionlessly and said, "If you hadn't stopped us, we would have celebrated his seventh day of mourning today. Now we can only burn paper at home."
His tone was still full of resentment towards Zhou Luancheng for meddling in his affairs.
Zhou Luancheng stood with his hands behind his back, observing the room calmly before speaking: "I came here today to ask you another question."
Mrs. Pei frowned: "What's the matter?"
"I heard that you worked as a barefoot doctor in the commune for a few years when you were young. Why did you stop doing that?"
Mrs. Pei just glanced at Zhou Luancheng and said, "The factory was hiring, so I went to work there. Besides, workers were very popular at that time, so why would I want to be a field doctor with unstable income?"
Zhou Luancheng did not refute: "After you entered the factory, what were you mainly responsible for?"
Mrs. Pei didn't understand why Zhou Luancheng asked this: "Why are you asking this? What does this have to do with you?"
Zhou Luancheng's tone was still unhurried, but when he spoke again, there was an invisible sense of oppression: "You don't have to say it, I just know some of the situation. But I will still investigate, because you haven't completely cleared your suspicion."
Madam Pei suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Luancheng: "What do you mean by this? You think I was the one who attacked Pei Haishan? We have been married for almost thirty years, would I really do such a murder to him?"
After saying that, he sneered, "You look so righteous, but you are holding on to the case just to get promoted. Now you are eager to solve the case, so you can falsely accuse people? What's wrong with you being a police officer? Just because you are a police officer, you can falsely accuse people?"
"Okay, I'll tell you, I work in a glass factory and I'm responsible for operating the machines to make bottles. Go and investigate."
Zhou Luancheng had previously checked and found out that Mrs. Pei worked in a glass factory, responsible for quality inspection of glass bottles and jars, which was completely different from what she said about operating a machine to make bottles.
Why lie?
Seeing Zhou Luancheng remained silent, Madam Pei's tone became even more aggressive: "If you are incapable of solving the case, just return the body to us and bury it in peace. Do you understand?"
Zhou Luancheng still spoke calmly: "Since you refuse to sign, the case has been transferred to the procuratorate. They will bring charges at that time. We will still perform an autopsy on the body and will not let the murderer go unpunished."
Mrs. Pei's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth but said nothing more.
Zhou Luancheng looked at the corner of the main room again. There were several glass tubes placed on a long table. These were the jars used by the family to pickle Laba garlic and pickles.
Then he calmly withdrew his gaze and said, "I came here today to inform you."
Mrs. Pei suddenly roared: "Get out!"
