Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Zuo Yang frowned slightly. His son is a high school Chinese teacher, and his mother is a retired elementary school teacher who was raised by a widow. Aren’t these the mother and son who disappeared last month?

The son came to report the case, saying that his wife had disappeared inexplicably. He and his master checked and said that the couple had a good relationship and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was also harmonious. The neighbors said that the mother and son were easy to get along with. On the contrary, his wife had a bad temper, was uneducated, and was extremely rude. She did not appreciate the blessings she had.

The neighbors also provided an important clue. This uneducated wife had a lover who was a chef. She was caught by her husband once, but he forgave her. The neighbors praised the husband for his magnanimity and scolded the wife for being fickle.

Zuo Yang went to the train station to check and found out that his wife had indeed bought two tickets to go out of town, and someone had seen her and her lover at the train station. Everything matched, and it was obvious that the two had eloped.

But now Xia Qingqing suddenly brought up the missing case, and Zuo Yang couldn't help but become suspicious. Could there be some hidden story behind this elopement?

"From your tone, it seems that this mother and son are not as people say they are?" Zuo Yang asked.

Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "I have 100 kilograms of flesh, but at least 99 kilograms are rebellious. I think people who are good to others must be hypocrites. And don't you think this mother and son are weird? The man is educated, has a good job, and is handsome. Why would he marry an uneducated and not very smart rural woman? Is it really love?"

Zuo Yang's face changed. Yes, this man and his wife were indeed not a good match, neither in appearance nor in family. Moreover, it was not like they were in love. They got married after being introduced by a matchmaker and did not have much emotional foundation.

"Then why do you think they want to get married?" Zuo Yang asked humbly.

Xia Qingqing shrugged, "How would I know, but my guest told me something interesting."

Zuo Yang suddenly perked up, sat up straight and listened attentively.

"Didn't I just say that my client's brother's wife's sister-in-law is this man's colleague? It is said that the mother and son have a very good relationship and are inseparable."

Xia Qingqing smiled, and her smile was very strange.

Zuo Yang frowned. Was this idiom used incorrectly on purpose or accidentally?

"Once, a man invited his school colleagues to drink at his home. My relative also went. This relative likes to observe and reason the most. While the others were drinking, she discovered something incredible."

"What's the big deal?"

Zuo Yang was anxious, and it was really annoying when he spoke half a sentence.

"When my guest's relative went to drink, the man hadn't married yet. She had to pass by her mother's bedroom to go to the toilet. The door was not closed that day. She saw two pillows in her mother's bedroom. Then my guest's relative pushed open the man's bedroom for some reason and found it was very tidy."

Xia Qingqing's smile became even weirder, and it made Zuo Yang's heart beat faster. Could it be what he thought?

"and then?"

Zuo Yang waited for a long time, but Xia Qingqing didn't say anything.

"That's all. Officer Zuo, aren't you very busy? I won't see you off!"

Xia Qingqing rudely dismissed him. She had a lot of work to do and was so busy that she had no time to tell this guy a story.

Zuo Yang was blasted out in a daze. Standing under the scorching sun, he suddenly came to his senses, slapped his forehead hard, and excitedly pedaled his bicycle back to the unit.

"Master, something big has happened!"

Zuo Yang parked the car and rushed into the police office shouting all the way. Geng Xinhua and others were discussing the case. Seeing him rushing around recklessly, they couldn't help but give him two slaps in disgust.

"What are you yelling about? Is the sky falling?"

Geng Xinhua looked disgusted.

"Master, I got a new clue about the case of the missing wife." Zuo Yang rubbed his head and said with a grin.

"Didn't the case say that the wife eloped with her lover?"

The public security officer in charge of this case was a little unhappy, and he was planning to write a closing report.

"No, no, no, this disappearance case is very likely related to the dismemberment case."

Zuo Yang's shocking words made everyone excited. Geng Xinhua reacted the fastest, "Could it be that the two headless corpses are his wife and lover?"

"Who is the murderer?"

Everyone else thought that Zuo Yang was fanciful and that the two cases had no connection at all. The time of death in the dismemberment case was two days earlier than the disappearance of his wife, and someone saw his wife going out to buy groceries that day, so the time didn't match.

Zuo Yang figured out the case on the way. He picked up a piece of chalk, wrote down a few characters on the small blackboard, and told the clues provided by Xia Qingqing.

"Someone did see my wife going out to buy groceries, but that person only saw her from a distance and didn't see her face. Besides, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have similar figures. What if someone wore my wife's clothes and deliberately went out to buy groceries?"

"Neighbors all said that my wife was rude and often quarreled with her husband and mother-in-law. Is it possible that my wife was not being unreasonable and that she was asking for a divorce because she discovered something? But my husband and mother-in-law were afraid that she would go out and tell others about it, so they killed her and her lover."

The more Zuo Yang talked, the more he felt that this was the truth. No wonder he felt something was wrong when he first came into contact with the mother and son. However, he did not speculate in that direction. He just felt that the mother and son had depended on each other for a long time, and their relationship was deeper than that of other mothers and sons.

Now it seems that the reason why this mother and son married an uneducated and not very smart rural daughter-in-law was to make it easier for them to control her, but they underestimated the daughter-in-law's fierce character. She was not greedy for the good life in the city at all and just wanted a divorce. Unfortunately, she was killed by a murderer.

"Impossible! Who told you that? It's ridiculous!"

"I also think it's impossible. They are all well-educated and well-mannered people. How could they do such a thing?"

"This is ridiculous. Xiao Zuo, are you too immersed in the play? This is reality, not fiction!"

Everyone else thought it was ridiculous. They had a very good impression of the mother and son, so how could they do such a disgusting and cruel thing?

"I'll find evidence!"

Zuo Yang snorted coldly. He would slap these people in the face with facts.

Geng Xinhua spoke up: "Xiao Zuo and I are going to Lou Chunhua's house."

Lou Chunhua is the son who is a high school teacher.

They drove the police car, and on the way Geng Xinhua asked, "Did Xia Qingqing tell you this?"

Zuo Yang didn’t mention Xia Qingqing before, he just said that it was a clue provided by someone.

This boy went to Xia Qingqing to get clothes, which was obviously what the girl said.

"Yes, Xia Qingqing said it was one of her guests who said it. This guest's brother's wife's sister-in-law was a school colleague of Lou Chunhua. She discovered it when she went to Lou Chunhua's house for dinner. At that time, Lou Chunhua was not married yet." Zuo Yang answered truthfully.

Geng Xinhua smiled and slapped his apprentice a few times.

"Master, I found such an important clue. It's ok if you don't praise me, but why do you hit me?"

Zuo Yang felt so wronged. A beating from his master hurt so much. He was not smart to begin with, and if he was hit any more he would definitely become even dumber.

"Is the only thing you know how to do with your head? Use your brain. Lou Chunhua never entertains guests at home or invites people over!" Geng Xinhua squinted with disdain.
