This woman is not...

"Hello, what do you want to buy?" The woman repeated her question in Mandarin with a smile.

"Xiaoyu?" Qin Jinhuan saw that there was something wrong with Mu Yu, and instinctively hugged her as he asked and looked at the woman vigilantly.

Mu Yu pushed him away, stepped forward, watching the woman tentatively and asked: "Hello, are you Ms. Gong Lilan?"

The woman's face changed abruptly when she heard the name, and after staring at Mu Yu for a while, she answered, "May I ask you--"

"I'm the cousin of Doudou, do you remember that Doudou? Her family used to live in front of your house, and her mother was my aunt. I used to see you at my aunt's house on vacation, and you gave me some fruit. But It's been so many years, maybe you don't remember me anymore?"

"Are you a funny cousin?" Gong Lilan obviously couldn't think of this person, but when she saw her speaking in a modest manner, she also saw that she and Qin Jinhuan were well dressed. Although suspicious, they politely greeted them. The supermarket sat down and took two bottles of drinks from the shelves and handed them to them.

"No wonder I just saw that little sister a little familiar, she turned out to be Duoduo. When I was a guest at my aunt's house, Duoduo always liked to play with tease. At that time she was only so tall, but she was so tall now. !" Mu Yu said as he gestured with his hands, "I was the same year as Doudou, and I remember she was five years younger than us."

"Yes, she is five years younger than Doudou, sixteen this year." Speaking of her daughter, Gong Lilan had a loving smile on her face.

"Duo Duo is so beautiful now, and so tall, he will definitely have a lot to do with being a model or flight attendant in the future."

These words made Gong Lilan's face a little unpleasant: "I don't expect a girl to have a lot of prospects, to grow up safely and happily, then get married and have children, and live a life smoothly."

"Auntie, your thoughts are very similar to my mother's. When I took the college entrance examination, my mother strongly asked me to choose a university closer to home. I am about to graduate from university. She asked me not to go to work in a big city, so she stayed. Working in my hometown, they said that they are still young and they can help me and even protect me. Alas, you said I am an adult who still needs their protection."

"But you are always a girl. Girls are easy to be bullied and deceived when they go out. Your parents ask you so out of care and love for you." When she said this, Gong Lilan glanced at Qin Jinhuan.

Mu Yu smiled with understanding: "I also know that my parents are good for me, but I always feel that they are a little too unreasonable. There are indeed many bad people in the world, but there are always many good people! Besides, I also read ten. In the past few years, the basic sense of self-prevention is still there. Oh, auntie, is Duoduo now in his first year of high school?"

"I'll be in my sophomore year in September. She went to school earlier."

"Did she think about the kind of school for the third year of high school next year?"

"I think I will be an actor or a model. I clamored to go to the Imperial Capital to attend an art school, and vowed to gain a foothold in the Imperial Capital in the future." Gong Lilan's tone brought a bit of helplessness and deep anxiety, "Imperial Dragon Snake Mixed, where is a small city to stay in peace."

"Everyone has their own dream, so does Duoduo." Mu Yu expressed understanding, and then his voice changed again. "Auntie, Duoduo's father supports Duoduo's idea?"

She pretended not to know that Zhao Yongli was dead.

"He? He doesn't support it either, just like I think." Gong Lilan said that the voice was obviously slow.

"Oh. Duoduo should be still in the rebellious period, and may stick to her own ideas. You will have to communicate with her well then."

"Thank you for your reminder. Are you visiting Qingyun Mountain?" Gong Lilan glanced at Qin Jinhuan again.

"No, let's go to Yangcheng and pass by here. When we get to the meal, we can find a place to eat." Mu Yu answered vaguely, and then asked, "Auntie, didn't your family open a store in Huacheng before? When did you move here? A shop in a far away town?"

"The business in Hwaseong is not easy to do, and there is still little competition in such a small place."

"Oh. Huh? Is Uncle Zhao at home? I haven't seen him in years."

"We got divorced long ago and we are not together long ago."

"Ah? Divorced? How can you get a divorce?"

"If you don't get along, you will leave. What do you think you can bring to the road to eat?"

"No need, thank you auntie. Auntie, after your house moved, I still asked my aunt about whereabouts too much, but my aunt said that after you moved, you broke contact with your former neighbor. Auntie, even if you and Uncle Zhao leave Marriage, there is no need to break up with the neighbors, right?"

Gong Lilan smiled: "I was afraid that the neighbors would be sad when they asked about the divorce, so I didn't contact them again."

"Auntie, do you have any relatives in Qingyun Town?"

"No."

"Then why do you think of bringing a lot of people to live so far away from Hwaseong Fortress?"

“Big cities are indeed prosperous and lively, but I prefer the simplicity and quietness of small places, compared to the ease and relaxation of small places.”

"But it's so remote here, and the various hardware conditions are definitely not good, which is not conducive to a lot of learning and growth."

Gong Lilan smiled: "It's a bit off here, but it's not as bad as you said. Duoduo's academic performance here is not worse than in the city. I still have some goods to pack. You want to get something for yourself. ."

"Eh!" Mu Yu shouted to Gong Lilan, who was going to the supermarket, "Auntie, my aunt and Doudou have always missed you and Duoduo. Can you give me your contact information?"

Gong Lilan hesitated, but still took a piece of paper and wrote a number to Mu Yu.

Just then Huang Bo came over and shouted for dinner. After Mu Yu got his mobile number, he said goodbye to Gong Lilan, and then went to the restaurant next door.

As soon as he sat down in the restaurant, Qin Jinhuan couldn't help expressing a series of doubts to Mu Yu.

After the restaurant owner and the proprietress left, Mu Yu quietly explained his confusion.

It turned out that she had seen photos of Gong Lilan, and also carefully checked Rong Jian's investigation of Zhao Yongli and Gong Lilan.

"There are not many people surnamed Gong.'Princess' is about the same age as Duo Duo looked at. In addition, Gong Lilan has a red spot under her left cheek, so when I see her, I think of'Princess' and Yingzi said. If the princess was a foreigner, I guessed she was Gong Lilan. As for the tease next door to her house, that’s because when Rong Jian told me about her neighbor, tease was more cute when she was young. It’s easy to make people amused, so everyone called her funny, and said something the same year as me, so I remembered it. As for what funny cousin, Gong Lilan gave me fruit, I believe Nonsense."

Qin Jinhuan suddenly laughed: "Teacher, Duo Duo, these two nicknames are really special."

"Actually, I don’t remember the name of Zhao Yongli’s daughter." Mu Yu said, taking out his notebook to check it out, and talking, "But I remember very clearly why his daughter’s nickname is Duoduo. Because Zhao Yongli is particularly patriarchal. Since he was a child, he disliked this daughter, always looking forward to giving birth to a son, giving her daughter a lot of nicknames, which means superfluous people. That is to say, because of his thinking, Gong Lilan is very afraid of having a son, afraid that having a son will make her daughter wronged. ."

At this point, she asked him a little depressed, "I can't ask anything around the corners. Do you think we should make our identity clear and ask her straightforwardly?"

"She cut off contact with everyone and lived in this remote town because she wanted to conceal or forget a piece of the past. If that's the case, then you just think of a way. She will definitely not tell you the real reason. By the way, there is one thing. I wonder if you paid attention?"

"what's up?"

"The phone number she gave you is fake."

"Ah?!" Mu Yu immediately took out the note that had been inserted into the logbook, "Impossible! The phone number was written on the canopy in front of her store, I saw it! The same!"

"There is a different number in the middle," Qin Jinhuan pointed to the fifth number. "Here is six. She wrote nine."

"is it?"

Seeing Mu Yu's disbelief, Qin Jinhuan glanced at Bian Zijun. Bian Zijun understood, and immediately walked out, pretending to be in the car, grabbing things and looking at the canopy of the supermarket next door, and then stepped in quickly.

"It is indeed six written on the canopy. Also, grandma, the supermarket next door is closed."

"Closed? Lunch break?" Mu Yu was a little surprised.

"I don't think it's a lunch break," Qin Jinhuan said, "Gong Lilan should have been on lunch break when Du Duo visited the store. When Yingzi called Du Duo to leave, Duo Duo went to Xia Li and came out, before and after less than three seconds. Then Gong Li Lan came out from the inside. When she came out, her bangs were still wet, and there were some water stains on her chest, indicating that she washed her face before Duoduo went in. Even if Duoduo didn't tell her, she would come out to see the shop."

After hearing the words, Mu Yu thought about it, and called the restaurant proprietor over loudly, and asked her to buy some biscuits and instant noodles for two hundred yuan.

"I just went to the supermarket next door and forgot to buy it. We ate in a hurry. Thank you."

"Oh, it's okay." The lady boss spoke nice Yangcheng dialect, and quickly went to the next supermarket after receiving the money.

Soon she came back empty-handed, with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, the supermarket next door is closed. There is only one supermarket in town. It seems you have to go to Yangcheng to buy it."

Mu Yu deliberately complained: "Why close the door in broad daylight? How can anyone do this business?"

"Maybe the lady boss is not feeling well, she usually never closes the door during the day. I'm really embarrassed." The lady boss went on her own after returning the money to her.

"It seems that our appearance has touched her very much." Mu Yu sighed, "I always think her avoidance must be related to the stories behind the four serial murders, but it is a pity that she will not tell us anything! It's okay to tell us a little bit of clues, we won't be as clueless as we are now."

"She doesn't say it, maybe someone will say it." Qin Jinhuan said such a sentence abruptly, and then asked Bian Zijun to whisper.

"Ahuan, what good idea do you have?" Mu Yu leaned over curiously, but at this time Bian Zijun had turned and left, and she hadn't heard anything.

"I'll talk after dinner."

"but……"

"I'll talk after dinner."

Mu Yu suddenly rolled his eyes at him, but he still ate obediently after listening to his words.

She finished a bowl of rice three times, and then stared at Qin Jinhuan eagerly.

Qin Jinhuan seemed unhurried, eating slowly and methodically as usual. This made Mu Yu anxious, and he gently pulled the corner of his clothes several times, in exchange for the nonchalant "wait."

Finally, when he finished eating and sat for a while, Bian Zijun's call came. After he answered the call, he took her hand and walked out.

"Where to go? What are you going to do?"

"You will know when you get there."
