After hearing Bai Luo's description, Chen Yutian's expression changed slightly.

From what this person meant, it seemed that he had already known the mystery of the message before his death, but in that case... why didn't he tell the government such an important clue?

Moreover, this person seemed to have a very unfavorable opinion of the government in his speech, and even used words like "dog official".

"It seems like this person hates the government very much!" After hearing this, Xue Tianhan touched his chin slightly.

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Xing Enming in unison.

Xing Enming was stunned and asked, "What do you think I'm doing?"

Chen Yutian smiled and said: "Uncle Xing, Xiao Sheng's case was taken over by your Gyeonggi government. Could it be that your Gyeonggi government did something to make this person hate the government so much that he even did not hesitate to call him a 'dog official'?" Words of address?”

Xing Enming was stunned, "Isn't it possible?"

"Master Xing, think about it carefully. After Xiao Sheng's murder case, did anyone say that there was something wrong with the pre-death information and wanted to ask to see you?"

Gongsun thought for a while and asked.

"Well..." After hearing this, Xing Enming thought carefully for a long time, and he really found such a person in his mind...

"It seems like there really is such a person..."

When everyone heard this, their eyes flashed and they quickly asked: "Really? What does that person look like?"

"Well... I've never seen that person look like that." Xing Enming smiled bitterly.

Everyone was speechless.

But think about it, if he met that person, he probably wouldn't hate the government so much...

Chen Yutian said: "Uncle Xing, do you still remember the situation at that time?"

"Of course." Xing Enming nodded and painted a picture of the situation for everyone...

That seemed to be the third day after the incident. At that time, Hu Sheng had been arrested as the murderer and the case was basically closed.

But on the morning of this day, Xing Enming suddenly received a report from the government servant, saying that there was a person outside asking to see him, and he kept saying that he knew who the real murderer of Xiao Sheng was.

But at that time, the case had been closed, so Xing Enming ignored the man's words and refused to see him on the grounds that the case had been closed.

After that, the man cursed loudly at the yamen gate. Xing Enming was furious when he heard this and ordered the yamen servants to beat him away with sticks.

For Xing Enming, this incident was just an extremely small episode, so it didn't take long for him to completely forget about it...

It wasn't until Gongsun mentioned it just now that he recalled the matter from the depths of his memory...

After listening to Xing Enming's story, everyone was basically certain that the person who cursed at the Yamen Gate should be the person Bai Luo met.

However, it is still difficult to confirm whether this person is the murderer in this case.

"Based on this person's behavior, he should be someone closely related to Xiao Sheng. However, there is no record of this person in the file. It seems that this person is quite mysterious!"

Gongsun touched his chin, with a look of thought in his eyes.

Chen Yutian shook his head slightly: "It's not that mysterious, but I think we should visit Xiao Sheng's parents. Maybe they might know something."

"That's true." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Immediately, everyone went back to their homes to sort out the many events that happened that day.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, Chen Yutian summoned Gongsun, Xue Tianhan and others to continue studying the secrets on the iron plate with the word "Tu", and sent Huo Yuanji and Tang Fengling to accompany Bai Luo to visit Xiao Sheng's parents.

Xiao Sheng's parents lived in the west gate of Xuandu Capital City. After driving for nearly half an hour, the three of them finally arrived at Xiao Sheng's house.

I saw a large house with three entrances in front of me, with a wide door and magnificent palaces and pavilions inside, which looked very lively.

"This is Brother Xiao's home." Bai Luo stepped forward and knocked on the door.

I heard a young voice coming from inside, asking: "Who is it?"

"Taohong, it's me, Brother Bai."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened suddenly, and a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old came out. She looked at Bai Luo and shouted sharply: "Brother Bai, you're here. It's been a long time!"

"Yes, long time no see. Is Uncle Xiao here?"

"Here I am."

Taohong nodded, led the three of them to the atrium hall, and said: "Brother Bai, take a rest for a while, I will invite the master over."

After that, she left.

Huo Yuanji, Bai Luo, and Tang Fengling chatted in the hall for a while, and then began to discuss the circumstances of the explosion case.

After a while, Taohong walked into the hall accompanied by an old man in his sixties. Although the old man had white hair, he was in good spirits and had a rosy complexion.

"Uncle Xiao, my nephew is disturbing me." Bai Luo stood up to greet him.

Huo Yuanji and Tang Fengling also met Father Xiao one by one. After the ceremony, everyone took their seats.

Father Xiao looked at Huo Yuanji and Tang Fengling, and said hesitantly: "You two, I wonder if you have any business with me?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuanji stood up and clasped his fists.

"Commissioner Xiao, let's get straight to the point. We are all official officers and would like to ask you a few questions about the death of your son Xiao Sheng."

Hearing this, Father Xiao sighed, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Sigh... hasn't this case been solved a long time ago? And I heard that not long ago, the real murderer was killed on the way to be escorted. What else are you investigating?"

Huo Yuanji smiled and said: "Uncle Xiao, that's not what you said. Although the son's case is indeed solved, he has affected the development of another case."

"What do you mean by this, sir?" Father Xiao's eyes flashed and he asked in a deep voice.

Huo Yuanji looked slightly solemn and asked, "Do you know about the recent explosions in the capital?"

Father Xiao nodded, "I've heard about this. Why, could it be that the case of Xiao'er triggered this case?"

Member Xiao's expression suddenly changed.

Huo Yuanji nodded slightly.

"Yes, based on reliable information, we suspect that the purpose of the murderer who caused these cases is to avenge your son. According to our inference, this person is most likely someone close to your son. But we have searched the files and can't find any I have records about this person, so I wanted to ask you for advice and see if you have any impressions."

After hearing this, Officer Xiao was shocked and said: "What? You said that the murderer designed this series of explosions just to avenge the child?"

Huo Yuanji nodded.

Member Xiao immediately looked at Bai Luo who was standing aside.

Bai Luo also sighed and nodded.

Only then did Member Xiao believe this unbelievable and even somewhat absurd statement.

After a moment, his eyes suddenly flashed and he said, "Could it be...that it's him?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuanji, Bai Luo and Tang Fengling all looked at each other and asked in unison: "Who are you talking about?"

Member Xiao sighed.

"Alas... you know, actually... Sheng'er is not Lao Chan's child, he is the child of a distant relative of Lao Chan."

Hearing this, the three people's eyes flashed - they didn't expect Xiao Sheng to have such a life experience...

"My distant relative's life was really not very good. When Sheng'er was about four years old, the couple went out and encountered bandits on the way, and they both died.

At that time, the oldest of their two children was only seven years old, and Sheng'er was only four years old. Two children lost their parents at such a young age...

Another distant relative and I couldn't bear it, so we adopted their two children separately, so I adopted Sheng'er, brought him back to the capital, and raised him carefully..."

When he said this, Yuan Xiao's turbid eyes were filled with calmness, without any ripples... But Tang Fengling, who was observant and careful, still found a hint of deep yearning hidden deep in his eyes...

It can be seen that the pain of losing a child is still tormenting this kind old man...

Perhaps, this kind of torture will take a long time...

Perhaps, this kind of torture will never disappear...

But all this can only be endured silently by this kind-hearted old man. Others have no choice but to watch him helplessly.

Looking at this scene, Tang Fengling sighed.

After hearing what Xiao Yuanwai said, Huo Yuanji's eyes flashed slightly and he looked at Bai Luo.

"Uncle Xiao, you mean, Xiao Sheng, he has an older brother who is the same as him?"
