The fake daughter's husband is reborn

Chapter 114 The tadpole looks for its mother

"I'm not even fifty yet, so I can work hard for a few more decades without any problems. Some people in their seventies can still plant orange trees until they are ready for market. I may not be as good as them, but I am confident in planting trees."

Feng Gui patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, take your time. Now you seem to have some ambition. If you can really build up the nursery, Xiaojun will be able to help you when he is discharged from the hospital."

"My own business won't tire him out."

Feng Xiao nodded vigorously: "I think so too. You know how hard everyone works now. If I had a family business, Xiaojun wouldn't be so tired in the future. He has such a weak body that I can only take care of him in the future."

"From now on, I will be responsible for planting trees and flowers, and he will go out to run business."

Feng Jun, lying on the hospital bed, didn't know that his father and his uncle had already arranged the rest of his life. If he was desperate and confused some time ago, he undoubtedly had more hope now.

No one wants to die while they can live, right?

After Feng Gui and Feng Xiao left, Zhang Yifan said, "It seems that this longevity lock is indeed yours. Let's send Si Xi to the capital. I hope Si Xi can find out what it is."

Xie Jing lowered her eyes: "That's right, I'm not that anxious, let Si Xi be careful."

Zhang Yifan: "Don't worry, we are definitely careful. Think about it, a golden longevity lock from so many years ago, is this something that most people can afford? Who knows what dirty things are going on behind it."

Zhou Jiyun: "We think so too, so there are many people who know the truth now, but apart from the deceased Xie family couple, perhaps only the Liu family knows the most comprehensive information."

"Liu Limin and Xie Xuerong, they probably don't know much."

Zhang Yifan: "I guess so. Liu Liming is straightforward and reckless. If she knew too much, she would have exposed it long ago. The ones who know the most should be Li Ercui and Mr. Liu. It's not easy to pry open their mouths."

"Especially Li Ercui. This old lady stays at Liu's house all day long. It's not easy to get close to her."

Zhang Yifan was a little confused after thinking about it. "There are indeed very few clues. Now I don't know which one will be solved first, Xie Jing's life experience or your parents' accident."

Zhou Jiyun sighed: "I don't know either, let's do our best. In fact, I guess Zhou Zhida was responsible for my parents' accident. My grandfather should even have evidence, but he won't say anything."

"The old man has a safe, and no one knows the password." Zhou Jiyun sighed again: "If I knew the password, I would want to open it and take a look."

Seeing Zhang Yifan lost in thought, Zhou Jiyun hurriedly stopped him: "I'll figure out a way to deal with this myself. After all, this is our family affair, and it's not good to involve you."

Zhang Yifan came back to his senses: "Okay, I suddenly thought of something. You said it's hard for people to keep a secret for more than ten or twenty years. He must have a way to vent, right? Otherwise, if he keeps such a secret in his heart, he will go crazy sooner or later."

Zhou Jiyun was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yifan: "What I mean is, does Zhou Zhida have his own cocoon? No one knows about this place, only he knows it?"

"Also, even if it was Zhou Zhida who did it, he couldn't have done it alone, right? He must have had accomplices. Has no accomplice come looking for him over the years? Or was it that he killed his accomplice?"

Zhou Jiyun also fell into deep thought: "I also find it strange when you put it that way. It's hard for a person to keep a secret unless he has a place where he can be completely himself."

Zhang Yifan: "I see. I have been keeping an eye on Zhou Zhida during this period. This old guy looks ruthless, but he usually pretends to be serious. He always goes back to your Zhou family's old house after get off work. He is not afraid of traveling so far."

Zhou Jiyun said calmly: "He has to show his face in front of grandpa. If he moves out, how can he show his face?"

Zhang Yifan: "You have money and a family, it's really... quite eye-opening."

Zhou Jiyun complained: "Xie Jing and I are both good people. We have never harmed anyone. Instead, it is others who are trying every way to harm us."

Zhang Yifan grabbed his cap and put it on: "Yes, someone wants to harm you. I'm leaving first. I don't know how everyone is doing. I'll go back and consolidate the information."

After leaving Zhou Jiyun's house and carefully looking around to make sure that no one was following him, Zhang Yifan returned to his base camp. As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the aroma of takeout: "Order takeout again?"

Liuzi: "Hey, what are we going to eat if we don't order takeout? Boss, is Mr. Zhou spending money again today?"

"Hmm," Zhang Yifan nodded. "Okay, let's order the takeout. We'll have a good meal tomorrow. We met Lao Feng today. Let's sort out the information we know now."

"Okay, I want to eat roast duck tomorrow." Yan Jinger wiped his mouth: "What's the news from Lao Feng?"

Zhang Yifan opened the box of rice: "Old Feng said that the bed quilt and the longevity lock belonged to Xie Jing. He was the one who picked up Xie Jing from the train station that year."

"He was careful and cut off a corner of the bag."

Liuzi swallowed the rice with a gulp: "No wonder the quilt has a missing corner. It's because of this."

"Feng Gui said it was for self-protection. We won't pursue whether it's true or not," Zhang Yifan ate two mouthfuls of rice. "Now the important task falls on Si Xi, and now we have to find the source of the longevity lock."

Si Xi complained on the phone: "How can we get any results in such a short time? I have been to five jewelry stores today, and none of them make longevity locks of this style."

Zhang Yifan: "I think you should go directly to the capital, Sixi. Think about the craftsmanship. Can ordinary people afford it? Besides, there should be many experienced craftsmen like this in the capital."

Si Xi thought about it and it made sense: "Okay, then I will go directly to the capital tomorrow. I didn't expect that now I have become an NPC who helps the tadpole find its mother."

Glasses: "Think about Mr. Zhou's ability to make money, are you still complaining?"

"No more complaints," Sixi's expression changed in an instant: "There aren't many clients as generous as Mr. Zhou. If we complete Mr. Zhou's commission, can we not work for the whole next year?"

"Almost." Zhang Yifan threw the empty lunch box and said, "Let Sixi take care of Xie Jing. He will investigate one clue at a time. The few of us at home will be responsible for investigating the incidents involving Zhou Zhihong and Lu Wen."

"Brother Fan, this is very difficult to investigate. We don't even have any clues." Liuzi was the first to object. This was not as good as Sixi's work.

Zhang Yifan kicked him and said, "Stop complaining. Didn't we find some clues before? Even though the clues are broken, as long as they were done, there must be traces left. We just haven't found them yet."
