"There was a student named Xiong Xiaobing who was expelled from our school."

Why didn’t I explain this matter clearly to Director Xiao?

That night, because Li Yanyan made me resonate with her and felt as if I were there, I was filled with grief and indignation and completely forgot about the incident.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that day."

I apologized with a blushing face, because my negligence had caused the police station to work for a week in vain.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's good to know now, it's good to know now."

Director Xiao felt relieved, turned around and took Mayor Wang away.

"By the way, Liu Feng, when this case is solved, I will apply for a sum of money from the institute as a reward for your participation in solving the case, and then I will send you to school."

Director Xiao had already gotten into the car and stuck his head out to talk to me.

"No need?" I waved at them.

"Liu Feng, you're welcome. Just keep it when the time comes. This is what you deserve."

Mayor Wang also poked his head out and said to me with a smile on his face.

After they left, I washed up lazily. Since I lived in the school dormitory, I felt that I had less and less time with my grandma. Every week, she looked older in my eyes.

She is 76 years old this year. Many elderly people of her age in the village are already enjoying family happiness, but she is still struggling to make a living.

I feel that I am very unfilial now, but given the current situation, I am not even 15 years old this year, and it seems unrealistic for me to earn money to support my family.

Fortunately, I have Xiao Hei's support, otherwise my grandma and I would have lived a very tight life.

So when Director Xiao said just now that he had a bonus for me, I was secretly happy. I was just being polite and didn’t even think of refusing.

I don’t want to do anything today. I just want to stay with my grandma and spend some time with her.

I hope that after I graduate from college, or if I can work part-time while I’m in college, my grandmother will still be in good health and I can be filial to her.

I cooked lunch and my grandma was very happy eating it. In her eyes, I have always been a sensible child. Of course, being born in such an environment, this might be an instinct.

My growth process was relatively smooth. Sometimes I would receive some cold remarks, but since I entered junior high school, I have apparently become no different from a normal child.

I have friends, teachers and classmates who care about me. Thinking about Li Yanyan, I am lucky.

Although she was born in a complete family and was loved by her parents, fate played such a big joke on her.

Oh! Why am I thinking of her again?

But before my grandma and I finished our meal, Director Xiao and Mayor Wang came back.

"Aunt Xu, I'm sorry to bother you and Liu Feng again. Liu Feng will have to help us look into that case."

The first person to speak was Mayor Wang, who probably thought he was familiar with grandma.

"Yes, Aunt Xu, don't worry, we will send Liu Feng directly to school in the evening."

Director Xiao looked anxious, afraid that grandma would be worried, so he added.

"It's okay, you guys come in and sit for a while, I'll go pack Feng'er's things."

My grandmother was grateful to Mayor Wang. After all, it was he who offered to help me transfer to another school.

"Grandma, you eat first. I'll clean up after I finish my meal."

I reached out to hold my grandmother, then turned and spoke to the two people standing at the door.

"Mayor Wang, Director Xiao, is there any other question about Li Yanyan's case?"

"You eat first, we'll wait for you outside and talk on the way."

Director Xiao may not want to mention it in front of his grandmother, fearing that the old lady would worry after hearing it.

After saying that, the two of them didn't come in to sit down. Instead, they walked to the pond at the door, lit a cigarette and waited for me.

I was too embarrassed to eat slowly, so I took a few quick bites and went to pack up.

When I packed my things and went out, they were already waiting for me in the car.

After saying goodbye to my grandma, I got in the car. Mayor Wang and I sat in the back seat, Director Xiao sat in the passenger seat, and there was a driver driving the car.

"Liu Feng, we are taking you to Xiong Xiaobing's house now. Something happened to him. We can't get any information about the other four people, so we have to ask you to help again."

After the car started, Director Xiao turned his head and said to me.

"So what's the situation now?" I asked.

"Forget it. It's pretty miserable anyway. You'll know when you go and see it."

Director Xiao seemed to be uncomfortable describing it, so I kept silent.

Perhaps to break the dull atmosphere in the car and as it was difficult to discuss the case, Mayor Wang kept asking me about my studies and life in school, and I answered him one by one.

I am very grateful for his concern for me, which is like the kind of care that a real uncle would have for his niece, which makes me feel warm inside. He also told me some of his study methods and experiences when he was studying.

In this way, the car drove for about 40 minutes and we arrived at a village, which should be Tangjia Village on the edge of the town. Because the road behind was rugged and bumpy all the way, I almost fainted when I got off the car. I must have been a little carsick.

The roads leading into the village are all dirt roads. When the car was still 500 meters away from Xiong Xiaobing's house, the road was too narrow. We were afraid that the car would fall into the fields, so we had to get out and walk.

Fortunately it was a sunny day, otherwise we would have to walk in the mud from the entrance to the village.

During this period, the millet in the fields has been harvested. Today is a sunny day, and most of the farmers are drying the millet in the threshing ground. This bay is very large, and there should be more than a dozen households. The doorsteps of every household are shining golden.

Because it was noon, the sun was still a little strong. Only one or two families were kicking the millet with their feet. This was to turn the millet at the bottom up and continue drying it.

When they reached the third door, Mayor Wang and Director Xiao stopped. In fact, to solve this kind of case, Director Xiao could just send his team members to handle it.

The reason why he wanted to do it himself was that on the one hand the case was difficult, and on the other hand it might also be because Li Yanyan was the niece of a certain director.

Mayor Wang is even more of an outsider. He came here because of me, but also because of his relationship with Director Xiao, or he also has a certain relationship with that director.

In the 1980s and 1990s, it was impossible to install surveillance cameras in the streets and alleys, so many cases could not be solved and would be buried in the sea. Just like the case of Li Yanyan, if I didn’t have the ability to see ghosts and communicate with spirits, it would probably have become an unsolved case.

"Hello, Papa Bear!"

Director Xiao shouted when he saw a middle-aged man when he entered the room.

The middle-aged man was sitting in a chair with a listless look on his face, but when he saw Director Xiao, he immediately jumped up from the chair.

"Xiao, Director Xiao, why are you here again? Didn't we agree that we would send the child to the institute once he gets better?"

It was obvious that Dad Bear already knew what his son had done. Maybe Little Bear was injured, so he wanted to wait until his injury healed and then send him to the police station to surrender.

"What's the matter? The child is already half dead. Are you going to lock him up and let him die?"

At this time, a middle-aged woman rushed out from the kitchen at the back. It was undoubtedly Mama Bear. Her face was full of black lines and her eyes were red and swollen. I don’t know how many times she cried after hearing the news this morning.

Before Director Xiao could speak, an old man with unsteady gaits walked out of the room.
