Chapter 487 Discovering the clues

Seeing his sister was fine, she started crying again for no reason. Mingjue naturally knew that she was thinking of Jiang Duo again.

He went over to support Mingzhu, patted her back with heartache, and turned back to look at Mingpu.

Ming Pu shook his head at him with a sullen face, walked to Mingzhu, and sighed helplessly: "When I came that day, I wanted to find this family to see if there was anything in his family that overlapped with the Jiang family you told me about. But after a round of searching, I found out that this family had long since moved abroad, and no one here knows which country they went to."

She raised her hand and rubbed Mingzhu's head: "Zhuzhu, don't embarrass yourself. This place has never been what you dreamed of. You and him... It's impossible."

The tears in Mingzhu's eyes broke, and she sat on the steps of the courtyard, motionless.

The two brothers accompanied her silently. After a full hour, Mingzhu's head finally moved slightly, and she stood up with difficulty, looking at the two people, just like when she came, trying her best to make herself look as if nothing had happened.

"Big brother, second brother, I'm tired, let's go back to the hotel."

Mingjue heaved a sigh of relief, finally stopped being stubborn.

"How about I, your brother, reluctantly carry you today?"

Mingzhu pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, I'll go back the same way I came here."

Mingpu walked aside and contacted the driver to drive over.

With Mingjue's support, Mingzhu passed by the gate of the first house in the alley.

She only glanced at it lightly, then stopped subconsciously and frowned.

Mingjue also looked at it in confusion. It was just an ordinary courtyard gate. "What's wrong?" Mingzhu

retracted her gaze, looked up at Mingjue, and shook her head after a long time: "It's okay, let's go."

When the three of them walked to the street corner, the driver had already returned.

Mingzhu sat in the car, looking back at the alley that was getting farther and farther away, then slowly retracted her sight, lowered her head, no longer looked at the scenery outside the window, and no longer

spoke a word. The silence in the car made people feel uneasy. Mingjue was a little worried and told her a joke.

But Mingzhu seemed not to hear it at all. At this moment, she was thinking about something else in her mind, something that made her even feel unbelievable.

After a long while, Mingzhu felt someone pushing her arm, and she came back to her senses. She listened to Mingjue's depressed face: "I told you to show your support and smile. When I told my classmates this casually in class, my classmates were all laughing very happily."

Mingzhu grinned with effort.

Mingjue rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Well, laughing is uglier than crying, stop laughing, I'm hit."

Less than fifteen minutes later, the car drove into the hotel, Mingzhu returned to the room, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at the two brothers: "Big brother, second brother, you guys go and do your work first, I'm a little tired, I need to sleep for a while."

Mingjue turned around and sat lazily on the sofa: "I have nothing to do, I just came to accompany you, you go to sleep, I'll stay here with you, playing games in silence."

Mingzhu looked at the look of the eldest brother who was staring at her, and the doubts in her heart became even greater.

But she didn't say anything, went to wash up, changed into pajamas, and came out, and snuggled into the quilt: "Big brother, I'm going to sleep first, you play, if you are sleepy, go back and rest, just close the door for me when you leave."

"Okay."

After the eldest brother agreed, the second brother went out to do his work.

Mingzhu lay down and waited quietly. After two hours, there were finally rustling footsteps in the room.

Mingjue tiptoed to the bedside and stared at Mingzhu for a moment. As if to make sure that she was really asleep, he quietly left the room.

Mingzhu slowly opened her eyes. She picked up her phone and took a look. It was half past four.

She lay there for a few minutes to make sure that the door of the room was not opened again. She quickly got out of bed, changed her clothes, and quietly went out.

She took a taxi at the door of the hotel and returned to the courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet and leisurely in the evening. Several old people sat at the door, fanning themselves with cattail leaves and chatting in groups.

Mingzhu came to the door of the first house, found the doorbell, and pressed it again and again, but no one came to open the door.

Not far behind, an old man waving a palm-leaf fan said, "Little girl, are you looking for this family? No one has been at their home these two days."

"Yesterday, I also saw his driver carrying his luggage. He said he was going out for a few days."

Mingzhu turned around and looked at the grandmother who was speaking and asked, "Grandma, do you know the owner of this house?"

"No one knows his family. He has lived in this courtyard for half his life. He is only familiar with his neighbors. To him, the rest of the people are germs."

Mingzhu's brain buzzed.

"Is his surname Kang?"

"Yes, it's Kang. Don't you know this family, so you came to ring the doorbell? Why are you asking their surname?"

Mingzhu tried her best to control her emotions and not let herself lose control. She pointed next door: "Then...is this family surnamed Jiang?"

The old people looked at each other and laughed: "Then we don't know."

"Oh, it's almost five o'clock. We have to go back to cook."

"Me too."

"Let's go, together."

Mingzhu hurriedly stepped forward and stopped them: "Grandma, do you know whether this family's surname is Jiang or Ming?"

"We really don't know. Which family are you looking for, little girl? Oh, don't waste our time. We have to go back to cook. The children should be back soon."

Several people spoke seriously and carried their own small stools back.

This made Mingzhu more certain of her guess.

She walked to the door of her "home", looked at the door that was still locked, and touched the lock. If no one had lived there for years, the lock could not be so clean.

She frowned, thinking that she couldn't waste time like this.

She turned and went to the intersection, intending to take a taxi to the family compound, but just as she was about to stop a car, her own car stopped in front of her.

Mingjue and Mingpu got out of the car one after another.

Mingjue looked at Mingzhu angrily: "Why are you running around by yourself, you little girl? Do you know how worried I was when I came back from ordering food and didn't see you!"

Mingzhu did not respond to him, but looked back and forth between the two for a few seconds: "Big brother, second brother, why did you lie to me?"

Mingjue was stunned for a moment, but Mingpu was very calm: "How did you find out?"

Mingzhu's eyes were red: "I only told you about the Jiang family, but I didn't tell you that the family next door to my house is named Kang. The man in the house looks and has the same temperament as you, second brother. The only difference is that he is a clean A serious cleanliness fetish.

When we left here today, I saw that the front door of his house was different from other houses. It was swept clean, shiny and dust-free. That was the habit of the male owner of the Kang family. In this world, since there is Kang Jingzhi, there must be Jiang Duo, so I am sure you lied to me, why? "

Ming Pu sighed helplessly, raised his eyes and looked at her: "Zhuzhu, second brother did not lie to you, you will not see Jiang Duo for sure."

"What do you mean?"
