"Do you think your mother ran away from home?" Jiang Hanyan asked.

"That should be the case. Although my brother is not very ambitious, he would not lie about such things. Besides, my mother loved traveling when she was young and often went out to play with my father. She also went out frequently after retirement. Since she broke her leg, she has seldom gone out and her temper has become weird." Liu Mei said.

Jiang Hanyan smiled slightly and said nothing more. She would know where the old lady had gone after a little calculation.

But she felt that the result would not be very good. In cases like this where the person had been missing for a long time, most likely the person was gone.

The reason why Liu Mei believed that the old lady had run away from home was probably because she wanted to comfort herself.

"My mother has bad legs and feet, and she likes flowers and plants, so I bought a house on the first floor with a yard."

The Liu family has a large yard full of flowers and plants, including a wintersweet tree in full bloom. The fragrance is so strong that it attracts many bees. The house is elegantly decorated, which shows that the old lady has good taste.

Liu Mei's younger brother Liu Feng was also there. He was in his forties, had a stubbled beard, was a little fat, looked greasy, and had pale skin. At first glance, he looked like a stay-at-home guy who didn't like to go out all year round.

Liu Feng was an introvert, not good at speaking, and always avoided eye contact when talking to people. Jiang Hanyan had a rough idea in her mind that the old lady's disappearance was eighty to ninety percent related to Liu Feng.

"The house is quite clean. Mr. Liu is quite good at cleaning." Jiang Hanyan said deliberately.

The room was neatly arranged, with clean windows and desks, which was completely different from Liu Feng's sloppy image.

"It was cleaned by the nanny, who I hired to take care of my mom."

Liu Mei sneered. She thought that expecting her lazy brother to clean the house was like expecting the broom to become a spirit.

"Where's the nanny?" Jiang Hanyan looked around and didn't see anyone else.

"I went to buy groceries."

Liu Feng said this in a hesitant tone, his eyes becoming even more evasive.

Liu Mei glared at him, saying that he was not presentable. Her family was considered a scholarly family. Her father was a senior engineer and her mother was a cadre. They were both educated and knowledgeable people. They had been nurturing her and her brother since they were young. However, this brother could not get up the wall no matter how hard he tried. He was not good at studying, socializing, or doing anything. She even suspected that the hospital had taken the wrong child.

"The nanny I hired also has the surname Jiang. She's a young girl and very hardworking." Liu Mei said with a smile.

Jiang Hanyan's mind moved. Also surnamed Jiang? It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Song Jinshu and his wife were with them the whole time. After hearing this, Song's wife's expression changed a little, as if she was disdainful. She wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it. There were some things that she couldn't tell to outsiders.

"Actually, Liu Feng is also very diligent. I have seen Liu Feng washing clothes and mopping the floor several times." Song's wife couldn't help but interjected.

Liu Mei's expression changed slightly. She looked at Liu Feng and asked sternly, "Are you cleaning? Where's Xiao Jiang?"

"I just do it occasionally, and often sit and move around."

Liu Feng explained timidly that he had a natural fear of his sister. He was not afraid of his parents, but he was afraid of his sister.

"I've never seen you move before. You didn't even know how to pick up the fallen soy sauce bottle."

Liu Mei made a sarcastic remark. She would not lose her temper in front of Jiang Hanyan, but she would fire the nanny after finding her mother. A nanny who actually ordered her master to do work should not be kept.

Liu Feng laughed dryly a few times, "People do change."

"I haven't seen you go out to find a job to make money!" Liu Mei blurted out. Liu Feng's face changed drastically and he turned his head away without saying a word.

Liu Mei also felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have lost face for her brother in front of outsiders. She scolded her brother for not living up to her expectations, but she still cared about him in her heart. After all, he was her only brother. She was angry at her brother's incompetence and also at her mother's stupidity.

Jiang Hanyan asked about the old lady's birth date and took out the pen she often used and began to calculate.

As she expected, the hexagram showed a very bad omen and the old lady was no longer with us.

"Please accept my condolences, your mother has passed away."

Jiang Hanyan told the truth, and Liu Mei's face turned pale and her body swayed. Fortunately, Yu Lu and her daughter supported her.

Liu Feng's face also turned pale, there was more panic in his eyes, and a lot of sweat appeared on his forehead and palms.

"My mother...where is she now?" Liu Mei asked in a trembling voice.

If you are alive, you must see the person; if you are dead, you must see the body! "The hexagram shows that your mother is nearby, she should be at home." Jiang Hanyan's eyes turned cold, and she glanced at Liu Feng. As expected, he was sweating profusely and his lips were white.

"My mother is still at home? Impossible. I have searched all the rooms and there is no one there." Liu Mei shook her head vigorously. She felt a little hope again. Maybe Jiang Hanyan was not as powerful as the Song family boasted. Her mother must still be alive, right? "She is definitely not at home. I live at home every day. If my mother was there, how could I not know?"

Liu Feng also shook his head and said, "Sister, where did you find this charlatan? He's talking nonsense!"

Yu Lu frowned and said unhappily: "Miss Jiang is my family's benefactor. She is very powerful. Mr. Liu, please don't talk nonsense."

"Miss Jiang is really powerful. If you don't believe me, that's fine, but don't say such things." Song Jinshu was also unhappy and regretted it very much. If he had known earlier, he would not have gotten involved in the Liu family's affairs.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Just shut up!"

Liu Mei scolded him harshly and glared at him fiercely. Liu Feng shut up obediently and dared not say another word, but the sweat on his forehead kept pouring down.

"Ms. Jiang, I'm sorry, my brother is talking nonsense. Could you please calculate my mother's exact location?" Liu Mei said with a smile.

Jiang Hanyan didn't care at all, and after a while Liu Feng couldn't call out anymore.

"The hexagram shows that your mother is in a bad luck situation. Do you have a basement at home?"

"some."

Liu Mei woke up as if from a dream and slapped her forehead hard. How could she have forgotten about the basement? She had been looking for it in the house for days and had never thought of checking the basement.

If something happened to her mother in the basement, she would be helpless...

Liu Mei didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurried to the basement, having to go around the garage entrance next to her.

"My mother doesn't like to go to the basement. She thinks it's too cool and there's a lot of clutter there. She hardly ever goes there." Liu Mei said as she walked, almost jogging.

Liu Feng didn't want to come at first, but the key was in his hand and Liu Mei asked him to open the door, so he had no choice but to go.

The closer he got to the basement, the colder Liu Feng felt. It was already cool underground, and he felt so cold that his bones were frozen. His hands couldn't help shaking when he tried to open the door, and he couldn't open it several times.

"It's not that cold, I can't even open the door!"

Liu Mei angrily grabbed the key and opened the door. A musty smell rushed out. After turning on the lights, the room was visible at a glance. It was not big, only about ten square meters, and was filled with miscellaneous items and a lot of dust.

But one thing was new and particularly striking.

"When did you buy the freezer? Is it needed at home?" Liu Mei asked casually.
