Chapter 57: Suddenly Enlightened

  I was filled with suspicion and was asked by Officer Wu to sit down on the sofa, with Wang Jue following suit and sitting beside me.

  "I saw you taking notes last time, what is your relationship with Officer He Jiaming?" This Officer Wu was quite good at taking the initiative, I was about to ask him who he was, but he asked me first.

  "We are his friends."

  "You tell the guard that something has happened at his home, can you tell me what it is?"

  Uh, the drawback of telling lies is that you can deceive for a while, but you need to weave more lies to cover up that lie. I thought about it and thought again, what counts as family matters? Ah, my older sister!

  "His girlfriend has gone missing and we can't get in touch with him either, we're very worried about them." Hmm, this absolutely counts as a family matter.

  "Are you her boyfriend's younger brother?"

  I knew about Elder Sister and Elder He's first love affair, it was four days ago in the hospital. How did Officer Wu get this news more quickly than me, the younger brother of the person involved?

  Just as I was suspicious, Officer Wu seemed to see through my thoughts and smiled at me strangely, winking his eye. The figure of Hou Dayout suddenly appeared before my eyes. In fact, I had 70-80% confirmed that he was indeed Hou Dayout, but without concrete evidence, this doubt had been hanging in the air.

  "Do you know how to get in touch with him?" I asked straightforwardly.

  Seeing me ask this, Officer Wu put away his smile and said seriously: "If we could contact him, we wouldn't be asking you about the situation. He hasn't come to work for three days. The last time we saw him was four days ago, after he finished your statement, he lost contact with our unit."

  I tried to recall the events of three days ago. That morning, Old He bought a big bag of breakfast and brought it to my sister's hospital room for us to eat together. At that time, I was pondering over the note, while Old He kept sneezing non-stop and sprayed me all over. He felt very embarrassed, said he would go home to take medicine, and then left.

  Afterwards, Li Xiao Hao came to the ward, took my elder sister hostage and threatened me, giving me a three-day deadline to hand over the mail register. Wang Jue and I rushed to Wu Zhuang to find Hua Jinlan. Before leaving, I called Old He and asked him to contact Li Xiao Lu. That was the last time we contacted each other before going to Wu Zhuang.

  Suddenly, I found that I had missed a crucial question over the past few days. On the night when we caught Knife Scarface, Hua Jinlan first changed her face to look like Lao Jie and then changed it again to look like Bai Huacheng. In my ear, I vaguely heard Lei Xiaohao's words echoing from the mental hospital: "Do you want to see them? If you do, I can arrange for you to meet on a certain day?" They were obviously in cahoots with each other.

  So, Li Xiao Hao wants the postal album, which is in Li Xiao Su's hands. We put aside Li Xiao Su and go find Hua Jin Lan, who is equivalent to a blank check. Of course, she won't help her elder sister break the curse. In the end, we're still going around in circles!

  And what's even more sinister is that Li Xiao Hao has resorted to using underhanded tactics, coming to the hospital to intimidate us, and sending Hua Jinlan to deal with us. He only has one goal in mind: to get his hands on what he wants.

  Unfortunately, I still know nothing about the fate of that letter and Li Xiaoshu. In such a situation, if I am not being led by the nose, who else will be? So, to solve the problem, we must go back to Li Xiaoshu's body, perhaps he knows the whereabouts of my sister and Lao He.
