Chapter 948: Nephew and son-in-law, don't bully Ruobai
In the staff quarters, the Qin family.
"My dear relatives, when did this happen? Such a big thing, you should have informed us at least! Brother Zhenguo..."
There was a solemn atmosphere in the living room.
Jiang Guiying held Tang Qingshuang's hand tightly, and Qin Ruobai stood on her left and right, their faces full of regret and pity.
Qin Zongheng sat opposite, with Qin Kunlun and Qin Jingchuan sitting next to him.
This time when the Bai family came to Yanjing, Tang Qingshuang was not the only one who came. Her youngest son, Bai Chonglou, was actually waiting at the foot of the mountain. No matter what, he would not be allowed to go up the mountain to pay homage to his sister. He only saw his sister's tomb at the end.
The reason why Bai Chonglou was willing to follow Tang Qingshuang to Yanjing this time was because his sister Bai Haitang had been the best to him since he was a child.
He was also the one who most supported reconciliation with the Qin family as soon as possible, so he went against the majority's opinion, took a leave of absence, and brought his mother all the way here to pay homage.
At this moment, Bai Chonglou, who was only 37 years old, was smoking just like Qin Jingchuan and Qin Kunlun.
This was his second time coming to the current Qin family.
When my sister got married, that was the first time, and he was only fifteen years old.
But I didn't expect that when I visited relatives for the second time, everything had changed and the people were completely different.
My sister is gone, and my father is gone too!
Although the atmosphere in the house was warm with the warmth of a long separation, it was also solemn with the passing of a loved one. Bai Chonglou sighed and made an excuse to go out for some fresh air. He walked outside with a cigarette in his hand and caught a glimpse of his nephew and son-in-law sitting on the doorstep in deep thought, not noticing that he had come out.
He had a good impression of the young man, so he took out a Yuelushan cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, "Hey, have a cigarette!"
Li Xiangnan was thinking about something when he suddenly heard a noise. He turned his head and saw that it was the youngest uncle of the Bai family. He quickly took the cigarette, stood up and shouted, "Uncle!"
"Well! Sit down!" Bai Chonglou put away his cigarette box and took out his matchbox to light a cigarette. Li Xiangnan's hand had already reached out, holding a match between his fingers. He leaned over to light the cigarette and nodded, "Bai Wa looks so much like my sister!"
"Yeah, they look exactly like each other!"
Li Xiangnan smiled and replied: "When I saw the photo on the tombstone, I almost thought they were sisters!"
By now, Li Xiangnan also understood why his mother-in-law Bai Haitang was alone in Yanjing.
After Bai Haitang graduated from the Central Public Security Cadres School, she was assigned to work at the Yanjing Municipal Bureau. Because of the comradeship between Bai Zhenguo and Qin Zongheng, she often came to Qin's house for dinner. As a result, she and Qin Kunlun, the deputy director of the Ministry of Public Security, developed a spark of love, and they fell in love and finally got married.
They are a perfect match made in heaven.
Their union once became a good story in the public security system.
Just because of a mission, Bai Haitang never came back after he went out. This legend in the Yanjing Public Security Circle passed away, becoming a regret in the hearts of countless people.
Li Xiangnan was not in a position to ask what exactly happened that year, but he heard Director Zhang Tiancheng mention it on the way back.
Now in front of Bai Chonglou, Li Xiangnan tried his best not to touch upon that sad memory and let the other party talk.
"Seeing Bai Wazi is really like seeing my sister!" Bai Chonglou smoked a cigarette and looked back into the room.
Li Xiangnan also looked back. From this angle, he could just see Qin Ruobai in the living room through the window.
She just sat quietly beside Tang Qingshuang, accompanying her silently, leaning on her, and feeling the family affection that had been delayed for many years.
"..." Li Xiangnan didn't say anything, but he felt even more inexplicably distressed in his heart.
Children from single-parent families, especially those who have lost their mothers, have grown up in a different environment from others, and many of them are really vulnerable.
Li Xiangnan couldn't imagine how Qin Ruobai had managed to survive all these years.
She has no flaws in her character, a good temper, and her world view, values, and outlook on life are all in line. Compared with children from normal families, her ability to grow up like this requires her to put in more effort, constantly correct herself and explore to prevent herself from going astray. This is not an easy thing.
When Li Xiangnan thought of Ruobai's childhood experiences, he couldn't help reminding himself that he would never let her suffer any injustice at any time in the future.
"My nephew-in-law, you must be nice to Baiwazi in the future! Don't bully her!"
Bai Chonglou suddenly patted Li Xiangnan on the shoulder and stood up.
"Uncle, I know!" Li Xiangnan also stood up.
Bai Chonglou smiled at him, entered the room, and quickly walked out, pulling out a photo from his wallet and handing it to him.
"This is the only photo of my sister when she was young that I left at home! I have kept it close to my heart! From now on, I will just look after Bai Wa Zi, you keep this photo! Give it to her when you have the chance!"
Reaching out to take the photo, Li Xiangnan could only nod heavily as his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton.
Looking down, I saw a black and white photo sealed with plastic covered with candle oil. The photo inside was only two inches in size, but it captured the brightest smile of a young girl.
She and Qin Ruobai are just like sisters, both of them are extremely beautiful and otherworldly.
He took out his wallet, put the photo in it and kept it safe. When he came to his senses, he found that Bai Chonglou had already entered the room.
How happy Ruobai would be if she knew that there were still photos of her mother when she was young!
Li Xiangnan decided to give her a big surprise when he got home in the evening.
Chi!
Just then, a jeep rumbled into the family compound and stopped outside the Qin family's gate.
"Little Li!"
Guo Qian stuck his head out from the passenger seat and hurriedly said, "Tell your family and go to the bureau right away!"
"Captain Guo?"
Li Xiangnan was quite surprised to see him suddenly coming over by car.
Because he had just met Captain Guo at the Baguashan Revolutionary Cemetery in the morning, and it had not been two hours yet. Why did Guo Qian make a special trip here to pick him up?
As if he noticed the hesitation on Li Xiangnan's face, Guo Qian quickly got out of the car, stood by the gate, waved, and waited for Li Xiangnan to come closer before he whispered, "It's about Cheng Sixi! He wants to see you!"
"see me?"
A strange doubt suddenly arose in his heart, and Li Xiangnan's brows instantly frowned.
Cheng Sixi wants to see me?
why?
"Captain Guo, wait a moment!" Li Xiangnan immediately stepped into the room and waved to Qin Ruobai. When she came over confused, he said, "Captain Guo asked me to go to the bureau. He said Cheng Sixi wants to see me! Tell Dad and the others!"
"Cheng Sixi?" Qin Ruobai was stunned and turned his head to look outside the house. "Did he confess?"
"I don't know either! I'll ask Captain Guo on the way!"
"Okay, then go quickly! I'll wait until we've dealt with this before going to the bureau..."
Li Xiangnan waved his hand, "When grandma comes, you should accompany her well! Didn't Captain Guo give you a holiday? Be obedient! I'll call you if there's anything. I'm leaving now!"
"Okay!" Qin Ruobai nodded.
He then picked up his coat, turned around and went out, and got into the car quickly with Guo Qian.
Guo Qian did not hide anything and said quickly, "Cheng Sixi had been hard for three days. I don't know if he figured it out just now! He told everything, saying that he was the one who did it! He told him everything about how he made the medicine and how he harmed Jiang Qitao..."
Li Xiangnan frowned: "Does that mean the evidence chain matches and he is the murderer?"
"Not bad!"
"What about the motive? Why did he want to harm Taozi?"
Li Xiangnan stared at him.
"Take a look at this confession!" Guo Qian handed the materials under the front file to the back.
Li Xiangnan quickly flipped through the records and found the column of criminal motive. When he took a closer look, he was shocked.
