Chapter 276 Testing the Waters



After following him for two days, everyone discovered that Li Zhuzi was usually very cautious. He did nothing but go to work and was very quiet in the factory. Everyone thought that he was insecure because he came from the countryside.

He doesn't waste time after get off work and goes home early.

Grandma Li and Luo Guihua rarely went out either.

The strangest thing is that the Li family claimed that Mrs. Li was not in good mental health and would hit or scold people at the drop of a hat, so they refused to let others come to their door.

In fact, no one has been to her house since they moved in.

But none of the neighbors doubted this claim, because the sound of Li's old lady beating and scolding could often be heard from the Li family home, and Li's daughter-in-law Luo Guihua often had injuries on her body when she went out to buy groceries.

So as a result, people felt sorry for her, and almost no one wanted to visit her anymore.

However, now Su He and the others find all of this even more suspicious. If Old Mrs. Li is not ill, then they are likely hiding something.

However, all of this is still just their speculation and needs further confirmation.

But soon, they got a new clue.

The colleague who was staking out the Li family's house at midnight seemed to hear a young woman's voice, but the voice was coming from inside the Li family's courtyard and not from anyone in the house.

If this is true, it almost certainly confirms that the Li family is hiding someone.

The police officers at the local police station immediately wanted to make the arrest, but they felt they didn't have concrete evidence and were afraid of making the wrong arrest. So they decided to pretend to be from the police station and go door-to-door to investigate and test the waters.

Su He volunteered to participate. The others wanted to refuse because she was pregnant, but Su He persuaded them by saying that her pregnancy would lower the Li family's guard.

So Wang Fugui took the initiative to ask her to cooperate, while the others waited outside.

Then everyone started to take action.

This time, they didn't specifically look for a reason, because everyone knows that the capital is currently investigating human traffickers. So Su He and his team simply asked people around them if they had seen any suspicious people, and went door to door to investigate.

Of course, to avoid wasting time, Su He and her companion started asking questions directly from the alley where the Li family lived.

The other families were just asked a few casual questions.

When Su He arrived at the Li family's house and knocked on the door, she felt a little nervous.

However, she knocked for quite a while but no one answered the door. If it weren't for the police monitoring the situation, she would have doubted whether anyone was inside.

After confirming that they were definitely home, Su He pretended to be impatient and shouted, "Is anyone inside? The police station is investigating, open the door now!"

Hearing no movement from inside, Su He called out a few more times, but failed to summon the Li family members. Instead, many neighbors came out to watch the commotion.

Someone spoke up: "Is there no one else at her house?"

"No, I didn't see Xiao Luo come out. He's probably at home!"

"Hey, officer, we can't go to their house! Old Mrs. Li will go crazy, she might hit someone!"

Su He said seriously, "It's alright, we're not afraid. We have to ask every single household, we can't miss any. We definitely have to ask today! If someone is home but won't open the door, is there something they're hiding?"

Perhaps having heard her words, a creak was heard, and the door opened...

The osmanthus flower, with its head bowed, was revealed inside.

When Luo Guihua opened the door and saw so many people, she seemed startled and took a few steps back. Then, as if mustering her courage, she raised her head and asked:

"Who...who are you looking for?"
