"Besides him, who else?"
Da Mao's face scrunched up again, clearly not able to think of anything for the moment.
Su He wasn't disappointed. "It's okay. Go back and think about it slowly. Just tell me when you've figured it out. But this is a secret between us, so don't tell anyone else."
Upon hearing this, Da Mao immediately nodded, patted his chest, and said, "I know, Aunt Su. I'll keep it a secret. Let's pinky swear!"
Su He saw him extend his little finger, and smiled as she reached out and hooked it with his.
"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now!"
...
After making the agreement with Da Mao, Su He returned home. From the window, she could see that Da Mao hadn't kept the candy all to himself, but had shared it with his friends. It seemed that Hao Mei had raised the child very well.
However, compared to others, Kong Ying's second son, Er Mao, seemed much more sensible. He wasn't satisfied with the piece of food he was given and even tried to snatch it, but he was disciplined by Da Mao and his younger brother San Mao.
Su He found it amusing and thought that if she had a child in the future, he could let him play with them. She wondered if they would be willing to take care of the child.
Thinking too far ahead, Su He didn't take Da Mao's request seriously, after all, she didn't expect a child to provide her with any clues.
So she didn't pay much attention when she didn't receive a reply in the next few days.
However, she was quite surprised when she saw that Da Mao had secretly come to see her...
The station still hasn't found any leads in the past few days.
Because Su He was assigned to a nearby police station, she was able to rest a little longer each morning. However, with no leads after such a long time, the atmosphere at the police station was clearly tense.
Several colleagues from the police station have already returned to their original units, probably feeling that staying any longer wouldn't lead to any progress.
Su He heard from Wang Fugui that they had received another call from above in the past two days, urging them to solve the case as soon as possible, which clearly put a lot of pressure on them.
When Su He got off work that day, she saw Da Mao excitedly running towards her as soon as she entered the courtyard.
After he came over, he quietly said to her, "Aunt Su, I know who the person you asked me about is!"
"Oh?" Su He was surprised. He didn't expect that he would still remember this after so many days.
Who is it?
"It's Li Datou's house in the alley ahead!" Da Mao said excitedly.
"Li Datou?" Su He was taken aback, seemingly not expecting to know which company it was.
"Yes, it's their house. I've been asking around among the guys in the alley these past few days. Li Datou used to be bullied all the time, so he used meat from his family to bribe people and became Sun Huzi's henchman..."
Su He wanted to laugh when she heard his words; a child who was only seven or eight years old was already using terms like "bro" and "boss."
Although she didn't know who Li Datou was, he had specifically asked for her, so regardless of whether it was useful or not, she couldn't let him do it for nothing. So Su He took out a handful of candy from her pocket and gave it to him.
"Thank you, Damao. You did a great job. This is a thank-you gift from your aunt."
Da Mao felt a little embarrassed. "Um... Auntie already gave me some, I can't take any more!"
Seeing this, Su He smiled and said, "Take it. The previous payment was for helping out, but this is a thank-you gift for you and your buddy. It's different!"
Seven-year-old Da Mao didn't understand what was different. He scratched his head, but still accepted it. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell her, "Auntie, if you need anything in the future, just come to me. I have plenty of buddies! I can ask you anything you want to know!"
Su He chuckled upon hearing this, "Alright, then your aunt will come to you again in the future!"
Da Mao was delighted to hear this and happily took the candy and left.
