âCaptain Johnson, letâs go then. Sigh, Iâm puzzled about the identity of this victim. Why canât we find outâŠâ
Zhou Mingye nodded and looked in the direction where Xie Xize and the others had left. He sighed and said,âI keep feeling ⊠Itâs a bit of a coincidence that they left at this time.â
â Hai, itâs not a good time. Professor Xie lives in Xia City. He didnât go home for the New Year. Itâs the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Itâs not right if he doesnât bring his wife and children back. â
âThatâs trueâŠâ
Little Chu and the old lady sat in the same car.
Mo Yangyang and Xie Xize were in the same car.
Originally, Mo Yangyang wanted to let the Spicy Strips stay with the old lady and the others.
But âŠ
Little Chuâs matter made her want to ask about the spicy sticks, so she carried them into their car.
After the car had driven for some distance, Mo Yangyang asked, ââTell Mommy ⊠What happened?â
âMom, what did you say?â
Mo Yangyang pinched the Spicy Stripâs face. ââIâm asking about Little Chu ⊠Donât act cute with me. Tell me the truth.â
âMom, I donât know whatâs going on eitherâŠâ Spicy Strip chuckled.
âBut ⊠I think even if Brother Chu did it, he definitely wonât do anything to us.â
Mo Yangyang tapped the Spicy Stripâs forehead. ââWho asked you that? Behave yourself. I remember that you came out of Little Chuâs room that morning. You were in your room when you slept. Why did you wake up in Little Chuâs room?â
Spicy Strip leaned its head against Mo Yangyang. ââI just woke up in the middle of the night and was a little scared, so I went to look for Brother Little ChuâŠâ
âHubby, I want to hit your son.â Mo Yangyang turned to look at Xie Xize.
Xie Xize raised an eyebrow.
This was the first time Mo Yangyang had called him â hubby â. She used to call him â Fifth Uncle â.
Now that he heard this intimate title, Xie Xize felt both physically and mentally happy.
The bad mood that Zhou Mingye had brought about instantly disappeared.
âThen letâs fight. Do you want me to help you?â He couldnât help smiling.
â Thatâs enough, you two. Is it fun to show off your love in front of our son? â Spicy Strip said with a straight face.
Xie Xize picked up the spicy stick and said,âThen be obedientâŠâ Otherwise, believe it or not, your parents will show you affection and stuff you to death.â
âIâŠâ You win.â
He sighed and said,âAlright, alright. Brother Little Chu did go out that nightâŠâ
âWhat? He really went out?â Mo Yangyang exclaimed.
âDo you know what he went out for?â asked Xie Xize.
Spicy Strip spread his hands and shook his head. â I donât know either. He didnât tell me either. But before he left, he went into my room and took a basketball. â
â Itâs impossible that you donât know why you went to his room after that, â Mo Yangyang asked. â If you and Mom were dishonest, I would really be sad. â
âAfter he left that night, I didnât sleep. I probably waitedâŠâ It was almost three hours before he returned. Then, I went to his room. Although he didnât tell me what he was doing outside, but ⊠Iâm sure that that person was killed by Brother Little Chu.â
Mo Yangyang recalled the news she had seen that day. Now that she thought about it, she felt that something was wrong with what the spicy stick had said.
âThen why didnât you say anything?â She tapped her Spicy Stripâs forehead.
