Seeing this, Su He smiled and explained to everyone, "Don't be nervous, I was just asking casually."
Then, without any hesitation, he walked over and sat down on the stone slab next to them, his movements practiced and completely devoid of affectation or disdain.
Grandma Yu and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her sit down so casually and without the serious expression of the other police officers.
"You young comrade, you're already a police officer at such a young age, that's really impressive!"
Su He smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
After saying that, he looked at the old lady Yu and said, "I'm quite interested in what you just said. Could you elaborate?"
Grandma Yu was a little nervous at first, but seeing that Su He smiled very kindly and was not much older than her granddaughter, she assumed that Su He was just curious and relaxed a bit.
"Hey, I don't know much either. My family and the Feng family weren't close to each other. We only met on the way we fled famine. I've already told you what I know."
Su He nodded. "Wasn't Feng Jianguo sold? How did he end up as a worker in Beijing?"
"I know that. I heard that the family that bought him was originally from the capital, but something happened to them and they all fled the country."
Although Feng Dazhu was sold, he was no longer a slave. He was just a long-term worker in that household and was not affected. Later, he settled down in the capital again. At that time, many factories were hiring, so he became a worker.
But for some reason, the two brothers, both in the capital, didn't see each other for so many years.
Su He nodded in agreement, then thought of the question from earlier, "So logically speaking, their relationship shouldn't be very close, right? In fact, Feng Jianguo should hate the people who betrayed him, so why does he associate with them?"
"Who knows?" Old Mrs. Yu sighed. "Maybe it's loneliness. We refugees didn't have any relatives in the capital. The first few years were really tough. It's so hard for outsiders to live in the capital. It was only later that things got a little better because we caught a good wave and became workers."
Su He listened thoughtfully. She wanted to ask more questions, but it was almost lunchtime and the people she was chatting with had to go home to cook, so she said goodbye and left.
However, Su He quietly called out to the person who had previously said he had seen Feng Jianguo leave the Feng family with a cold face.
This person's surname is Wang, and he is the Feng family's neighbor, living right across from them.
Upon hearing Su He's question, Old Mrs. Wang replied directly, "That happened last year. Before Old Mrs. Feng died, she was already confused and often talked nonsense. Later, Feng's daughter-in-law kept an eye on her and wouldn't let her go out. Feng Jianguo also came to see her often."
That day, after I finished eating, I opened the door to go for a walk and saw Feng Jianguo coming out of the Feng family home with a cold face.
His face looked terrible, which startled me, but thankfully he calmed down after seeing me, smiled at me, and left.
I thought they had broken up, but I didn't expect him to still come as usual afterward, and even after the old lady died, he cried quite pitifully.
Su He listened thoughtfully again, thanked Old Madam Wang, and left.
Afterwards, she pondered while waiting for Captain Yu and the others, feeling that this Feng Jianguo was not simple, but she couldn't figure it out.
A short while later, Captain Yu and his team came out, but they all looked quite unwell.
"What happened? Didn't the Feng family agree?"
Team Leader Yu nodded and sighed, "Yes, the Feng family doesn't agree and doesn't want to wait any longer. They plan to bury Feng Weikun tomorrow."
Su He was shocked. "What's going on? Doesn't the Feng family want to know the truth?"
"It's not that we don't want to, it's just that we don't want to touch Feng Weikun's body."
Su He felt helpless. If they didn't allow the forensic doctor to examine the body, it would make solving the case even more difficult.
Team Leader Yu was clearly helpless as well, saying, "Let's go back first and talk about it later."
Su He could only nod and follow.
