The third brother... lacking any suitable tools, now understands perfectly why there's always a stick by the door at home.
After the family got into the car, Su Mo remembered Xiao Yu'er and chatted with Lao San.
The third brother was also quite surprised. How old was Xiaoyuer? He thought that girl was very proud, so how did she end up hanging out with some hooligans?
"Li Xingguo and Wang Yue treat the child like his own eyes, how could they let Xiaoyuer get in touch with Huang Mao? Are they putting on an act for us?" the third brother sneered.
Su Mo: "Maybe it's because of all the recent changes at home that I haven't had time to take care of the children."
"The big change is just that we're broke. Our lives are still going on the same track. Li Xingguo goes to work, Dong Yun stays at home, and the kids go to school. Nothing has changed in form. So why can't he take care of them? What's he so busy with? He's holding hands with Huang Mao. They've definitely known each other for more than just a day or two. I think something's fishy." The third brother doesn't trust a single hair on Li Xingguo's head anymore.
“It’s not that bad. Your older brother and sister-in-law might be capable of using their children to compete for affection, but they wouldn’t let their children associate with those kinds of hooligans. Who would lead their child astray? Your older brother and sister-in-law have many flaws, but they are genuinely good to their children. Teenagers are not easy to manage,” Su Mo analyzed.
The third brother thought that made sense and glanced at the three children eavesdropping behind him in the rearview mirror.
Youyou quickly waved her hand, "Dad, don't look at me, I'm still a child, I don't understand what you're saying."
Tuantuan said, "Dad, I don't understand either."
Yuan Yuan frowned and didn't say a word.
The third brother, "Li Xingyi!"
Yuanyuan looked up and said, "Dad, why do I feel like Huang Mao's build and the way he walks are a lot like one of the thieves from last night? And the style of his cotton-padded jacket, even though I can't see it clearly, it looks just like the one Huang Mao was wearing. I thought he looked familiar when I was watching TV last night."
"It smells the same, but you can still smell it on TV?" the third brother said irritably.
“Dad, it really is, it’s that unreliable, swaying energy, it’s just the same.” Yuan Yuan thought about it and it seemed more and more like it.
"Really?" The third brother thought Yuanyuan didn't seem to be joking.
“Really, Dad, he walks with a swaying gait, and his build is quite similar to mine. Anyway, when I saw him on the news, I immediately thought he looked familiar, like the blond guy,” Yuanyuan explained anxiously.
Su Mo and Lao San exchanged a glance, and Lao San quickly pulled the car over to the side. "Yuan Yuan, that blond guy really looks a lot like the one in the surveillance footage?"
Yuanyuan nodded, "I can't see the face clearly on the surveillance footage, but I think it looks very similar."
"Okay, let's go to the police station first and let Yuanyuan take a closer look at the surveillance footage. What if it's true? This is a case worth hundreds of thousands of yuan." The third brother looked at Su Mo, knowing that if they went to the police station, they wouldn't be able to go back to her parents' home.
Su Mo: "Okay, I'm fine with going home anytime. What if it's an important clue?"
The third brother picked up the phone and called the leader of the local police station in their factory's jurisdiction.
"Hello, Chief Wang? Is he at the station?"
"Oh, it's Xing'an. I'm not at the station, I'm at the branch office. If you need anything, just come to the station. I'm a bit busy here," came a tired voice from the other end.
Third brother: "There are still no leads on yesterday's case?"
"No, there's a lot of population movement during the Spring Festival, so the investigation will take some time." Director Wang, who was on good terms with Lao San, said a few more words when Lao San asked.
"Chief Wang, I'll be at the branch office in twenty minutes. My youngest son says one of the people looks familiar, but he's not sure," the third son said cautiously.
"Really? Come here! Come here!" Wang's voice suddenly rose. The person looked familiar from the surveillance footage, so the chances were very high. They were looking for a needle in a haystack.
When the third brother and his group arrived, Director Wang and several police officers were already waiting at the door.
"Let's go inside and talk about it," Director Wang said, leading the family to the meeting room.
"Which little friend looks familiar?" Director Wang tried his best to make his face look friendly.
