This is Gu Yuan's first time coming to Zhucheng.
Although Gu Yuan knew in his heart that it was almost impossible to find Shuli in Zhucheng, but what if it happened? After much hesitation, he decided to try his luck.
Even if Shu Li is not found, it is not a big deal. You can take this opportunity to learn about Shu Li's past first. After all, most of her lives are in Zhucheng.
Knowing your enemy and yourself means you can win every battle. Since there is no direction to search for now, try to understand your opponent first. As long as you have enough information, your chances of winning will naturally increase.
Shu Li's aunt opened a barber shop in the shop downstairs. This barber shop had been open for more than ten years. After asking several people by name, Gu Yuan finally found the place.
In the barber shop, which is not a big one, there is a woman wearing a short black coat, short brown hair, a pair of jeans, and a pair of calf-high black boots.
There were no customers at this point. She was originally sitting on the sofa, eating melon seeds and watching short videos, watching her fingers swiping on the screen, but the music was fixed.
"When the flowers bloom, come and see me..."
When she saw someone coming in, she quickly turned off her phone and stood up, with a smile on her face.
"Should I cut my hair or wash my hair?"
"Hello, are you Ms. Xue Hong?"
"Huh?" Xue Hong was a little surprised. The smile on her face slowly faded. She also knew that this was not a guest. She frowned and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"That's right, we are here from Star City and want to know about Shu Li. She is your niece, right?"
"I don't know, I don't know her, what does her matter have to do with me?" Upon hearing the name "Shu Li", Xue Hong's face immediately showed an impatient expression, and she almost waved her hand to drive them away.
Gu Yuan also didn't expect that Xue Hong, as Shu Li's aunt, would have such a big reaction when he heard his niece's name. He took a step back and looked at Bao Mingchuan again.
Bao Mingchuan understood this and immediately took two steps forward and took out his ID.
"From Xingcheng Yamen, we have no other intention, we just want to know about Shu Li's situation."
Seeing Bao Mingchuan reveal his identity, Xue Hong's expression froze and she suddenly became nervous.
"Captain? What's wrong with Shu Li?"
"You sit down first, we just want to briefly understand the situation."
The identity of Agent Bao Mingchuan did act as a deterrent. Next, Xue Hong's attitude towards them was obviously much better.
Xue Hong closed the glass door first, and then got each of them a bottle of water from the freezer next to them.
"Comrade Detective, I still want to ask, what did Shu Li commit in Star City?"
Although she is Shu Li's aunt, she hasn't seen her in many years. To be honest, she almost forgot that she had such a relative.
"Don't be nervous yet, Shu Li's problem is not big, it's just that she can't be found for the time being..."
Before Bao Mingchuan finished speaking, Xue Hong hurriedly said: "I don't know where she is! We haven't had any contact in so many years!"
"We have already understood this, don't worry." Gu Yuan was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry. Xue Hong was really too nervous now.
After learning the identity of Agent Bao Mingchuan, she became actively cooperative, but not out of concern for Shu Li, more like she was afraid of being implicated.
And now her urgent attitude is to tell Gu Yuan and others that she definitely did not protect Shu Li.
"Then you...what do you want to know?" Xue Hong asked.
She seemed to be in a state of intense uneasiness. Every time she said a few words, she would look towards the door, always worrying that someone was coming, and then she found herself being arrested and questioned. If this spread, the neighbors would be worried. How to talk about yourself?
So now, she wished that Bao Mingchuan and the others could ask quickly, and then leave after asking, just facing the police. She didn't dare to say such words.
Bao Mingchuan obviously also discovered this. After so many years as a detective, he often encountered situations like this, so he also speeded up his questioning.
"It seems that your relationship with Shu Li is not very good?"
Hearing this, Xue Hong's eyes rolled to the sky. If it were anyone else, she would point at the other person's nose and scold him at this moment. Isn't this nonsense?
"I haven't contacted her for seven or eight years. How good can our relationship be? Besides, she is a cold-blooded person like her mother. Why should I still contact her?"
"Cold-blooded?" Gu Yuan was a little surprised to hear such words, "Why do you say that?"
"If she wasn't cold-blooded, would she not even attend her parents' funeral? Moreover, she has never been home for so many years, and she didn't even look at us elders. What is this if she isn't cold-blooded?" Xue Hong said quickly.
Speaking of this, Xue Hong seemed to start talking.
Bao Mingchuan asked: "So, you and her mother don't have a very good relationship?"
"My sister is also a cold-blooded person!" Xue Hong said with the same resentment when she mentioned Shu Li's mother, "Early years ago, we agreed to take care of the elderly together, but what about her? Not even a penny. Come out! Even if the old man was hospitalized, she never went to see him. At that time, he was short of fifty thousand yuan for the operation. How could his family, a doctor and a middle school teacher, have no money? But we brothers and sisters came to the house together, and she took it. They sent us away with five thousand yuan! This mother and daughter are so virtuous!"
Gu Yuan was a little surprised.
"So Shu Li has always been a cold-blooded person?" Bao Mingchuan said.
Xue Hong hesitated for a moment, then her tone became softer.
"You can't say that. In fact, when her parents were still alive, she had a good personality and was very polite when meeting us. Although I didn't like her mother at that time, she was still a good child and often Call us. She has a good relationship with her cousins.
But since her parents passed away, she has become a different person. She never contacted us, and she didn't even attend her parents' funeral. I don't know what happened. I called her, and her tone was very cold. , and then there was no contact. "
Gu Yuan grasped an important information point and immediately said: "In other words, after her parents died, she seemed to be a changed person, is that right?"
Xue Hong was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and nodded.
"It is indeed the case."
"So... it was the death of her parents that dealt her such a heavy blow?" Bao Mingchuan said.
"Maybe it's possible." Xue Hong pondered for a moment and said, "After all, her parents died in front of her, and no one could accept such a thing. Sigh... Thinking about it this way, I am quite wrong. There should be more Care about her is..."
Before Xue Hong could finish her words, Gu Yuan's expression suddenly changed.
"You just said that she was right there when Shuli's parents had an accident?"
"Yes, a family of three, all in the same car, of course they are here." Xue Hong asked doubtfully, "Isn't this normal?"
Gu Yuan took a deep breath and his expression became complicated.
