Buy a Daddy to Baby My Mommy Chapter 236 The Clue is Broken Again

“What?” Ji Muxian asks urgently.

“We investigated Xu Ziqiang's call records and found a phone number kept in contact with him today until the moment before he had the accident. We have found and controlled the man.”

“Where is the man?”

“He has been taken to the police office and we're ready to interrogate him.”

“I'll be there soon.” Ji Muxian hangs up the phone and rushes to the car.

He Menghuai follows him quickly.

Fu Zhengzheng asks after them, “Who?”

“The one calling Xu Ziqiang before he had the accident.” Seeing them be seated, Ji Muxian starts the car and speeds away.

Hearing that, Fu Zhengzheng's eyes glitter with hope, “The man should be of the same gang with Xu Ziqiang. Xu Ziqiang is dead, and it's not bad to get some information from this man.”

Ji Muxian keeps silent and just drives the car fast. He Menghuai raises a question.

“Those guys behind the screen are so foxy, and why can we find him so easily?”

“Er…” Fu Zhengzheng is speechless. Looking at Ji Muxian, who just staring ahead, she is forced to swallow what she wants to ask.

They keep silent on the way.

The car arrives at the municipal police office soon. They head for the interrogation room directly.

“How is it going?” Ji Muxian glances at a short old man who looks wretched and sits opposite to Chen Yu, and then turns around to ask Chen Yu.

Chen Yu shakes his head and snaps the man, “Li Laogen, repeat what you just said to Sergeant Ji in detail.”

The old man named Li Laogen shivers, looks at Ji Muxian in a shrinking way and then stammers.

At dawn today, Li Laogen heard someone knocking at the door. After opening it, he didn't see anyone. In the beginning, he thought it was a hoax. He was about to close the door when he found a paper bag on the ground. He opened it and a stack of money was inside.

Li Laogen has no children and eats his head off. He is usually penniless. Seeing this stack of money, his eyes glinted. He picked it up and closed the door regardless of its unknown source. When he was excitedly holding the stack of money and planning how to spend it, his old phone rang. The caller asked if he had got the money. He gave an affirmative answer. Then he was required to write down a phone number and dial it as instructed.

He felt something was wrong and felt scared. But he thought he just needed to make a call and might not break the law, and he could get so much money, so he did as the caller required.

Ji Muxian's sharp eyes sweep Li Laogen, and he asks immediately, “Didn't you see the person that required you to make the call?”

“No. He contacted me by phone.” Li Laogen asks tentatively with his neck shrunk, “Sir, could you tell me what happened?”

Ji Muxian looks at Chen Yu and the latter says at once, “I haven't told him.”

Then he tells Li Laogen, “The person that you called to leave the hospital died from a car accident.”

Li Laogen freezes and then becomes scared. He explains quaveringly with his legs shaking, “Sir, it has nothing to do with me.”

Chen Yu waves his hand, “Take him out.”

Li Laogen shakes off the policeman's hands suddenly, rushes to Chen Yu and cries, “Sir, it really has nothing to do with me. If I had known the result, I wouldn't have accepted the stack of money in any case! Oh, by the way, the money is still in my bedside cupboard. I'll hand it over to the government! Will you throw me into prison? I'm so old. I don't want to go to prison.”

The policeman takes out Li Laogen who keeps crying with force, and the interrogation room becomes quiet finally.

Ji Muxian leans against the table, stares at the white wall and keeps silent.

Chen Yu smiles with pretending relaxation, “If you hadn't come to talk with us about Xu Ziqiang, his death would be regarded as a common hit-and-run traffic accident. Unexpectedly, there are so many unknown stories. The case seems to be very knotty.”

Yesterday, Chen Yu read the documents sent from B City about Li Xiaomeng's case.

Fu Zhengzheng says indignantly, “Menghuai is right. Those guys are too foxy.”

Chen Yu tidies up and rises, “I'll leave now to continue to investigate Xu Ziqiang's social relations. If there is new information, I'll contact you in time. If you need anything, call me anytime.”

Ji Muxian nods and Chen Yu walks out.

“The clue is broken again.” He Menghuai smiles and it seems that he has expected that.

Fu Zhengzheng looks at Ji Muxian and says, “What shall we do now?”

He Menghuai says first, “Protect Qiao Keren. Those guys have got what they want and will certainly come to Qiao Keren again. No, they might know they have been exposed to us, so perhaps they dare not act rashly.”

“If they don't act, we'll be passive and not know what they will do and when they will do it.” Fu Zhengzheng says frustratedly, “We don't know what they want, either. Is it really the coffer map? But Qiao Keren said Li Xiaomeng didn't give her anything. If there is really a map, it should not be in Qiao Keren's hand.”

“All is speculation. We even don't know where the coffer is.” He Menghuai sighs.

Ji Muxian says in a deep voice, “They killed Xu Ziqiang, just because they want to prevent us from knowing what they are looking for.”

“Then…” The phone ringtones interrupt Fu Zhengzheng.

It's from her mother Chen Yuying.

“Honey, have you finished shopping? If you have, come back to help me put away the aired clothes. Siqi is helping me with the quilts.”

Hearing what her mother says, Fu Zhengzheng knows Han Siqi has got up, so she responds quickly, “OK, I'll be back soon.”

After hanging up the phone, she looks at the time and is startled. It's already past 4:00.

Then she says with a smile, “Come to my home for dinner this evening.”

He Menghuai casts his eyes on Ji Muxian, which means it's up to him.

“Send you back and then we'll go back to B City.” Then Ji Muxian steps out.

Fu Zhengzheng doesn't say anything. She goes out, gets into the car and gets out at the community gate. After they drive away, she goes to the nearby shop to buy some daily necessities in haste and then returns home quickly.

When she gets home, Han Siqi is playing chess with her father, which makes her surprised.

Putting down what she bought, she moves closer to have a look with great interest.

“Who is the black and who is the white?”

Han Siqi signals her to keep silent.

“The black seems to lose.”

Han Siqi pulls Fu Zhengzheng secretly and signals her to stop talking once more.

Fu Zhengzheng smiles naughtily, “Oh, please, I'm not a gentleman but a lady. I can talk when I watch you playing chess.”

When her father's chessman is about to drop, she shouts at once, “Dad, why do you move there? This move is not smart.”

Zhen Mingzhi, who is already disadvantageous, frowns, points to the room and says, “Help your mom put away clothes.”

“I…”

Han Siqi nudges Fu Zhengzheng lightly and says, “Mom aired clothes of four seasons today. Help mom put them away now. Xingxing will come back from kindergarten soon, and the dinner hasn't been made.”

“It's early to cook dinner. After I watch you play chess in this round, I'll cook. Oh, oh, dad, do you know how to play chess?”

Han Siqi stands up, holds Fu Zhengzheng's shoulders, pushes her to the room and taps her on the head.

“Is it suitable to watch others playing chess in this way?”

Fu Zhengzheng pouts on purpose and snorts, “I just watch like this, and what can you do?”

Zhen Mingzhi shouts, “Siqi, leave her alone. Come here now.”

“OK.” Han Siqi winks at Fu Zhengzheng and walks back.

Hearing that, Fu Zhengzheng mutters curiously, “Leave me alone? When did dad begin to stand on Siqi's side?”

Chen Yuying responds smilingly in the room, “Since your dad learned how to play chess, he has fallen in love with it. But he is not skilled, so his old friends don't want to play with him. After he came back from Old Cheng's house today, he looked at the chessboard sulkily alone for a long time. I couldn't persuade him. When Siqi went downstairs, he just heard what we said and offered to play with your dad. They began to play until now.”

Fu Zhengzheng recalls that her father didn't know how to play before. Thinking of her father's intimate talk with Han Siqi just now, she can't help laughing in heart.

She helped Han Siqi figure out many methods to please her father, but they didn't work. Unexpectedly, some small chessmen help him succeed in it.

“Siqi will have a tough time because of your dad's chess skill.” Chen Yuying smiles while putting a pile of clothes into the cupboard.

Fu Zhengzheng disagrees, “It's more comfortable for him than being trained by dad.”

“I guess your dad won't train Siqi again. Honestly speaking, Siqi is really nice. We have made so much trouble for him these days, but he all accepted silently.”

Fu Zhengzheng holds her mother's arm and laughs, “So long as dad doesn't say Brother Dongze is superior to him to his face, he will do whatever you ask willingly and take it as happiness.”

Then she grumbles in heart, “Can it be regarded as trouble? If you know how his parents treated me, you won't think so.”

Chen Yuying looks at her smilingly, “Honey, the soup is cooking on the stove. Go to check whether it's OK.”

“OK. By the way, will my brother come back for dinner?”

“Yes, he said he would come back a little late.”

No wonder it's not early now, but her mother is still tidying leisurely.

“I'll cook now.” Fu Zhengzheng steps out.

“Wash the vegetables on the chopping board. I'll finish soon.”

“No problem.”

When passing by the sitting room, Fu Zhengzheng sees her father and Han Siqi playing chess carefully. She grins and walks towards the kitchen quickly.

After she washes and cuts up vegetables, she is about to cook dinner when a small figure runs into the kitchen suddenly. She looks back and finds it's Fu Xing.

“Mummy, I'm back. Is there something to eat? I'm hungry.”

Fu Zhengzheng keeps a straight face deliberately, “Why didn't you have a good lunch in the kindergarten?”

Chen Yuying following him hears that and feels sympathetic immediately. While fetching cake, she scolds her daughter, “Children like to run around, and energy consumes fast. It's five hours from noon to now. You don't allow him to take snacks. How could he not be hungry?”

Fu Zhengzheng stops immediately, “Mom. Don't give him a cake. Look, he is almost a plump ball.”

“A plump kid is cute. Don't listen to your mom. Enjoy it.”

Hearing what his grandmother says, Fu Xing makes a face to Fu Zhengzheng, takes over the cake and runs out to enjoy it.

Recalling Fu Xing's grandpa and grandma also dote on him like this in Han family, Fu Zhengzheng shrugs helplessly.

“Let me cook. Your brother will come back soon.” Chen Yuying puts the frying pan on the stove.

Fu Zhengzheng helps her mother.

When just two dishes are finished, Fu Xing screams in the yard suddenly, “Mummy, come here now!”
