Be in low spirits

Chapter 114 Chinese New Year

He turned to the window at the back of the house and saw the tape on the window. He immediately understood what was going on. He found a stone, smashed the window glass, and climbed in.

When he opened the door of the room, he saw two people lying on the bed, already dead. He opened the door and let his wife in while calling the detachment.

Looking at the two people lying on the bed, she felt a little sad. Every family was looking forward to the reunion during the New Year, but this family had gone to another world.

Li Li covered her eyes, took her out of the room, and sat in the stairwell waiting for the detachment to arrive.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, both of them were very busy and almost never returned home until the early hours of the morning every night.

Li Li was on duty at the detachment when he received a report from the alarm center that someone had died in a certain neighborhood. He rushed over with people and found that someone had indeed died at the scene. When he called the forensic doctor to come, a thinly dressed girl crawled out from under the bed and hugged him directly. He subconsciously frowned and wanted to push her away, but then he glanced at her exposed arms and quickly winked at his female colleague next to him, who stepped forward and pulled her away.

"Captain Li, it's me, it's me, I'm Xiaoxue."

"Xiaoxue?" He looked at her face, not sure if he recognized her. The girl was crying, with tears in her eyes, and the fear on her face had not yet dissipated.

"Ten years ago, you rescued me from the human traffickers. Don't you remember?" The little girl looked pitiful with blood on her face. Everyone around was looking at the two of them.

He had just started working ten years ago, and indeed he had followed his master to catch a few human traffickers, but he couldn't remember who he had saved. "Xiao Zhao, take the person away." In order to prevent her from destroying more scenes, he asked someone to take her away.

Back at the team, Xiao Zhao covered her with a blanket and sat in the office to comfort her. He stood at the entrance of the team and grabbed Liu Yanjun and asked, "Can I ask you something?"

"This girl is coming for you." He was eating the burger in his mouth.

"Coming for me?" He didn't understand.

"I've been yelling about looking for you." He looked like he was watching a show.

He looked at the bag in his hand, which was empty, and with a "tsk" sound, he stepped into the office.

As soon as the little girl saw him, she put down her cup and ran to him, asking anxiously, "Li Li, do you really not remember me?"

Now he could see her face clearly. She looked childish and her eyes were filled with fear. "Uh... Xiaoxue, right?" He really didn't remember.

"You remembered?" She was looking forward to it again.

"That Xiao Zhao, check if she has any injuries and see if we can get her in touch with a psychiatrist..."

"I don't want a psychologist. Can you stay with me?" She held his hand, her voice trembling slightly, with expectation and pity in her eyes.

He looked at Xiao Zhao somewhat awkwardly, and Xiao Zhao spread his hands, indicating that he was helpless.

"Why don't you go with Xiao Zhao to handle the formalities first?" He pulled her hand away and asked Xiao Zhao to check her identity information.

According to the information Xiao Zhao found, Xiao Xue is the daughter of the victim. According to her, her father has been committing domestic violence for many years. Today, because the Chinese New Year was approaching, he drank too much and came home in the middle of the night and wanted to abuse his mother again. Her mother hid her under the bed, then hacked him to death with a knife and committed suicide.

It sounds like there are still some loopholes. We have to wait for the autopsy results and the testimonies of people around us to be sure.

"Boss, this girl was indeed abducted ten years ago, and you really saved her." Liu Yanjun took out a document and said to him. He looked at the photo in the file and it was indeed him who saved her, but she had grown up and he didn't recognize her.

After a busy night, she got home at 5 o'clock in the morning. Seeing the person sleeping in the room, she took off her coat and hugged him to catch up on her sleep. She moaned a few times, turned over and hugged him to continue sleeping.

According to the neighbors, domestic violence did exist, and the autopsy results showed no suspense. But Xiaoxue was already an adult, so why didn't she stop it? She didn't stop her mother from committing suicide, either, which made him confused.

There is no evidence to suggest that the relationship is with the daughter. I took her to a psychologist for an evaluation, but apart from being sad, no other problems were found, which made people even more suspicious.

During the investigation of the case, she was unwilling to follow the female police officer and only followed Li Li, which made him very distressed. He had no choice but to hand her over to the Street Office and the Women's Federation. She would hand her over today and go to the team to find him tomorrow.

Liu Yanjun actually liked to watch this kind of excitement, and joked with him during the meal: "Boss, what do you think my sister-in-law would think if she knew about this?"

"Your sister-in-law is not that kind of person." He looked at the information in his hand, still unable to figure out what Xiaoxue was going to do.

"Then why hasn't she come to the team recently? Did they have a fight?"

"They have a lot of things to do in their office. Hey, doesn't Xiaoxue have any other relatives? Find her relatives and friends to find out the situation." The rice in his hand suddenly didn't taste good anymore.

"They say there is one, but we haven't been in touch for many years, and I don't know if we can find him now."

"Then go find it!"

"I'm looking for it. Give me some time, boss."

After a long silence, Liu Yanjun finally spoke up: "Sister-in-law hasn't sent cakes to the team for a long time. It's almost the New Year, don't you think?"

"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. Don't work!" After finishing his meal, he took the lunch box to the tea room to rinse it. Looking at Xiaoxue sitting in the corridor, he sighed helplessly.

Because of her parents' death, she had to go to the police station to cancel her household registration, and Li Li was happy to take her with him this time.

When he arrived at the police station, he handed the person over to the household registration department and went to look for his wife.

They were preparing anti-fraud materials and were surprised to see him.

"Why are you here? Is there a case?"

"Bring a victim here to cancel the account, what are you busy with?"

"Anti-fraud, there are still various materials that need to be submitted by the end of the year. Why don't you go meet with the fee office? It seems that because the quota for this year has exceeded too much, it is very irritating."

"Then I'll go meet him and ask him not to schedule so many shifts for you." He pulled the person over and insisted on kissing her, but the person sitting at the desk pushed him and refused with a "tsk".

"Can you come home for dinner tonight? I'll pick you up." Seeing that he couldn't get along, he had to talk about casual things.

"It will probably be after 8 o'clock." She sorted out the documents in her hands, and the two of them left the office together.

Kong Zhixi saw the girl in the household registration department. She was eighteen years old and both her parents had passed away. She witnessed the whole process, which made people feel pity for her.

Li Li came out of Fei's office and saw that she had completed the formalities. He called his wife out, hugged her and kissed her hair, then said goodbye to her.

She clearly felt that the girl looked at her husband differently, so she asked Xiao Liang, who was handling the account cancellation, what the girl's name was. Xiao Liang said her surname was Sun and her given name was Xiaoxue.

Finally, they had a day off together. The two of them slept a little late in the room. Li Li held the person in his arms and asked, "Are you still going to have breakfast?" The person in his arms moved his head and asked dazedly, "What time is it?"

"It's 11 o'clock. Do you want to get up?" He touched her face and felt that she had lost a lot of weight in this month.

"You have to get up. There are a lot of things to do today." Although he said that, he had no intention of getting up at all.

After more than ten minutes, the two of them sat up. Kong Zhixi brushed her teeth, and Li's mother came back from buying vegetables. She asked Li Li to cook, and she went back to the store to help. While eating, he asked, "Do you have a lot of things to do today?"

"Well, we have to prepare some New Year's goods today. You should also find time to visit Cheng Xi's parents. You should also send some flowers to Xiao Zhao to pay your respects. I also have to prepare some things to send to my parents. Then I have to go see Yi Ran. If I have time, I will also go to the new house to see if all the appliances have been installed." She ate the ribs he made, as if she hadn't eaten them for a long time.

"Do you still want to see Meng Yiran?" He always felt a little uncomfortable with this person.

"Aren't you going to meet Cheng Xi's parents too? I'm going to meet Yin Yi because her parents still have to do business with her, so it's normal to give someone something before the New Year."

"Then let's go shopping first?"

"Ah."

After dinner, the two went to the mall and bought a lot of things. Li Li had never thought that he would need to prepare so much for the Chinese New Year.

"Okay, I'll give Yi'an's portion to her first. You wait here for me." She unbuckled her seat belt and wanted to get out of the car.

"Do you have to go and send her off? Mom or dad can go too." He held her hand tightly and refused to let go.

Here it comes again. She sighed and said, "Didn't we agree on this? You said you would believe whatever I say."

"I...it's not that I don't believe you, I just..."

"Okay, I'll be back soon." She kissed him and got out of the car.
