Chapter 6

Every time she saw Liu Zheng she had to ask a question.

Before Liu Zheng had a chance to speak, Liu Lili said, “I know, there are irreconcilable conflicts between him and my mom.”

Liu Zheng ducked into the kitchen with fruits and a carton of milk and said, “Mom, I put the fruits in the fridge for you ah.”

Ruan Ping ran in, “What did you buy? I'll put it in myself, you go out and play with Li Li.”

Liu Zheng begged.

Liu Lili was watching TV in the living room, holding a handful of fried chestnuts, he went over and sat down, Liu Lili handed over the chestnuts and said, “Dad, you help me peel it.”

Liu Zheng said, “I'm used to you, peel them yourself.” Liu Lili Li whispered, “My hands hurt---” Liu Zheng didn't say anything, Ruan Ping came out and immediately said, “Grandma will peel it for you.”

Liu Zheng stood up and sat to one side, Ruan Ping went over and sat next to her grandson, Liu Lili leaned against her and pouted, “I miss you, Grandma.”

Liu Zheng really can't stand this kid.

Liu Lili asked, “Where is my grandfather?”

Ruan Ping nudged towards the bedroom and said, “In there, reading the newspaper in his room every day, sooner or later he will become a fool.”

Liu Lili jumped up and shouted, “I'll go pull grandpa out!” Ruan Ping nodded, “Fine! You go!”

Liu Lili Li ran over and knocked on the door first, and after knocking on the door, he didn't wait for the inside to yell please come in, he rushed in, and in no time at all, he pulled someone out.

Before the people arrived, Liu Zheng heard his son say, “My dad specially bought delicious food to see you.”

He had to admit that this kid was really much better than him.

When Liu Lili pulled his grandfather out, he saw his dad sitting particularly upright on the sofa.

He glanced at his grandfather and didn't understand why his dad was so afraid of him.

Grandpa was a policeman, and so was his dad, so what was there to be afraid of, and now he was off work, reading the newspaper at home every day, wearing old-fashioned glasses.

Liu Zheng called out “Dad” and said nothing.

Liu Bozheng frowned and asked, “You didn't go to work today?”

Before Liu Zheng could say anything, Ruan Ping said, “If you work every day, the kids can't rest!”

Liu Lili said, “Dad got off work early today to pick me up.”

Liu Bozheng let out an “oh” and didn't ask any more questions.

Liu Lili led him to sit down, and held chestnuts in his hand, saying, “Grandpa, you eat chestnuts.”

Liu Bozheng took it, peeled it open and handed it to Liu Lili, Liu Lili joyfully took a bite, Liu Zheng glared at him fiercely.

Liu Bozheng suddenly opened his mouth and asked, “Are you responsible for Liang Shibai's matter?”

Liu Zheng said yes.

Liu Bozheng said, “How can you be responsible for it, you should avoid suspicion.”

Ruan Ping said, “What's good to avoid suspicion, Liang family and our family lived in a yard more than ten years ago, now Liang Mingzhi that position and we have long had no dealings, you still remember people, people have long forgotten you.”

Liu Bo Zheng did not say anything, Ruan Ping added: “And this matter is not already closed? Said it was a suicide ah? How to check again?”

Before Liu Zheng could open his mouth, Liu Bozheng said, “You should ask less about his work.”

Ruan Ping said unhappily, “Don't give orders, I am not your subordinate, and you are not a deputy bureau anymore.”

Liu Bozheng face is not good, hummed, stood up and went back to the room.

Ruan Ping said, “Shrinking in your room like a turtle---” Liu Lili was shocked, “Grandma, you curse!” Liu Zheng chided, and Ruan Ping glared at him, “What's the point of being mean to a child?” She finished lecturing her son and turned to smile as she stuffed the peeled chestnuts in her hand into her grandson's mouth.

Liu Lili was comfortable at his grandmother's house, Liu Zheng asked him to sleep at his grandmother's house at night, of course he was a hundred percent happy to do so, Ruan Ping was very happy, and asked Liu Lili what he wanted to eat, “Grandma will make it all for you at night.” Liu Lili started to report the names of the dishes there.

Liu Zheng took off, Ruan Ping didn't keep him, Liu Lili shouted, “Dad, remember to come over to eat with us tonight!”

Liu Zheng drove back to the station after he got out of the house.

Liu Zheng saw Liang Shibai that time, the first glance felt a little familiar, and then went back to Li Xiaoyu and hinted to him, Liang Shibai's father is which, he is sure that he and Liang Shibai have been neighbors.

They lived in a compound when they were young. But he and Liang Shibai can not be considered to have any friendship, just meet a nod, Liang Shibai and their g**g of boys can not play together, they jumped up and down in school, at home on the roof, their parents are too busy to control them, and occasionally caught is a beating, Liang Shibai did not hear anyone say that he was naughty, are praised, good grades, and people are obedient.

Later Liang Shibai's father Liang Mingzhi work changes, the family also quickly moved away, moved away when Liu Zheng remembered that he was just in junior high school, Liang Shibai is also.

Liu Zheng had already met Liang Shibai twice, and he guessed that Liang Shibai no longer remembered him.

Liu Zheng suddenly changed his mind, turned around halfway and went to Liang Shibai's company alone.

Liang Shibai was a bit surprised to see him alone, but this time he was much more relaxed and no longer angry about Liu Zheng's last offense. He asked Liu Zheng to sit down, and before Liu Zheng could say anything, Liang Shibai spoke first: “Officer Liu, sorry about last time.”

Liu Zheng said, “It's nothing, I understand how you feel.”

Liang Shibai smiled, looked at Liu Zheng for a while and suddenly said, “Actually, the two of us have met before, Officer Liu, do you remember?”

 Liu Zheng feigned surprise and asked, “Is that so?”

Liang Shibai laughed, “I've always wanted to say that, but I'm afraid that you would think that I'm pulling strings.”

Liu Zheng also laughed as he said, “Mr. Liang is being overly concerned, I can't manage much as a small policeman, there is no need for you to pull strings with me.”

Liang Shibai asked, “I remember your family used to live across the street from me, Uncle Li retired, right? How is Auntie Ruan?”

Liu Zheng was a bit surprised that he remembered so clearly, “Yes, all good, how are your parents?”

Liang Shibai joked, “That's what you're asking me, my dad, I didn't know how he was until I watched TV.”

Liu Zheng smiled, suspecting that the words had other meanings, was Liang Shibai pressurizing him?

Liang Shibai murmured, like he suddenly remembered something, and asked, “Did my father intervene in this matter of my wife?”

Liu Zheng said, “He is very concerned about you.”

Liang Shibai said, “During that time, I was in a bad state and had a lot of things going on, company matters, family matters, he did do it out of the goodness of his heart, but it wasn't really necessary.”

He suddenly confided, all unguarded, Liu Zheng felt strange, after a long goodbye that had only played out, Liang Shibai seemed to have already treated him as a friend.

He was either doing it on purpose, or he wanted to say something too much.

“The funeral hasn't been organized until now, I can't find anyone, so I can't just pack a few clothes to burn.” Liang Shibai's voice was low as he looked at Liu Zheng and suddenly asked, “Do you think it's possible that she's still alive?”

He had already asked this question once.

Liu Zheng still answered, “A slim possibility.”

Liang Shibai nodded, he said, “In fact, sometimes I think it's good to not be able to find her, if I can't find her I can pretend that she's still alive, there's still a bit of hope, maybe one day she'll suddenly reappear.”

Liu Zheng comforted him at the right time.

Liang Shibai said, “Last time you said you were divorced, what happened?”

It was like he felt that Liu Zheng had cared for him for a couple sentences, so he had to return the favor.

Liu Zheng said vaguely, “There was a problem.”

Liang Shibai said, “It's all the same, like me, I didn't even know that my wife had depression.”

“I have a problem too.” He said to Liu Zheng.
