CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 349: ZHANG HENG’S FAMILY (PART 1)

Earlier, because I always wondered if I could "see" something, I would stay in one place for two or three days each time.

As a result, neither did I have a good time playing nor did I "see" anything.

"Once we get to Jinling, let’s go straight home. An’an’s full moon celebration, we have to rush back for it." Lin Xiaoyan said.

"Alright!" Nan Xi and Xiao Bo agreed.

In the car, it was boring. Lin Xiaoyan chatted with Nan Xi and Xiao Bo while snacking.

"Buzz buzz..."

Suddenly, a motorcycle passed by, making a particularly loud noise.

Just as Lin Xiaoyan was looking out the window, the motorcycle passed by their car.

She glanced at the motorcycle and then rolled up the window.

Half an hour later, they arrived in Jinling.

Nan Xi had already booked a hotel, and the car went straight to the hotel entrance.

"Let’s go, let’s go, I want to buy a full moon gift for An’an first!"

Lin Xiaoyan happily pulled Nan Xi towards the mall.

"Let’s buy gold bracelets and gold locks for An’an!" Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi went to the gold shop and immediately asked for children’s gold bracelets and locks.

The shop assistant heard this and eagerly led them to the counter.

"These are all children’s items. What style would you like to see?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked around; there were all kinds of styles, "I want something simple and elegant."

Finally, Lin Xiaoyan selected a pair of bracelets and a solid small gold lock.

Since she was there, Lin Xiaoyan also bought gold necklaces for her mom and sister-in-law, and one for herself.

"Sister Nan, which of these two do you like?"

Nan Xi glanced at them and shook her head immediately, "I don’t like any of them; I don’t wear these things."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Even if you don’t wear them, you should have one!"

Nan Xi still refused, "I don’t want one; I will never wear these things."

In the end, Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t persuade Nan Xi and was pulled out of the gold shop by Nan Xi.

After shopping in the mall all day, they had bought everything.

Xiao Bo had already made two trips to the car with the purchases.

If Lin Xiaoyan weren’t hungry, they probably would have continued shopping.

In the evening, they found a nice restaurant to eat.

"Does Jinling have any specialties?" Lin Xiaoyan asked.

Nan Xi and Xiao Bo shook their heads, not knowing.

"I’ll check online." Nan Xi took out her phone to search.

"No rush, let’s eat first, talk about it after dinner. We’re not leaving today, there’s still time tomorrow." Lin Xiaoyan stopped Nan Xi, urging her to eat quickly.

"I need to use the restroom." Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the restroom location and told the two.

Nan Xi put down her chopsticks, and Lin Xiaoyan quickly said, "You eat, I’ll go by myself."

Lin Xiaoyan got up and headed toward the restroom.

After using the restroom and washing her hands, as she walked out, a server with a mop and bucket happened to come over.

"Hey, I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."

After drying her hands, Lin Xiaoyan was about to throw the paper in the trash can but didn’t notice the server coming over and accidentally threw the paper at the server’s chest.

She repeatedly apologized, went over, and reached out to retrieve the paper ball.

"No problem, no problem, I can handle it myself, it’s okay." The server, wearing a mask, said it’s fine repeatedly and lowered his head to pick up the paper ball and throw it into the nearby trash can.

Lin Xiaoyan touched the server’s arm, still apologizing, while her eyes moved towards the server’s face.

After apologizing, Lin Xiaoyan watched the server carrying the bucket and mop into the restroom, placing the items in the corner.

Lin Xiaoyan withdrew her gaze and returned to her position.

Nan Xi looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "What’s wrong?"

Lin Xiaoyan took a deep breath, rubbing her forehead, "It’s really a matter of chance, even during a meal."

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s words, Nan Xi and Xiao Bo immediately sat up straight and looked around.

"Who did you just encounter?"

Lin Xiaoyan sighed, "A server."

Recalling the scene earlier, Lin Xiaoyan frowned, "A murder case."

Nan Xi: !

Xiao Bo: !

The three quickly finished their meal, and under Lin Xiaoyan’s indication, Xiao Bo stealthily photographed the server’s face.

Then the three left the restaurant and returned to the hotel.

"What I saw was the server’s scene, where his wife, mother, and children were all dead. Then, unable to bear it, he wanted to commit suicide..."

Nan Xi asked, "How did his family die?"

Recalling the server’s scene, Lin Xiaoyan said, "They were murdered, very cruelly."

Nan Xi asked Xiao Bo to send her the photo and then got up to make a phone call.

Ten minutes later, the information about the server was sent over.

"Zhang Heng, 25 years old, lives in..."

Upon hearing Zhang Heng’s address, Lin Xiaoyan opened the map to search, "In the suburbs?"

Xiao Bo glanced over, "It’s this place."

Lin Xiaoyan checked, seeing it was forty minutes away.

She thought for a moment, "Let’s go to Zhang Heng’s house."

She wanted to know, who killed Zhang Heng’s family!

Especially that child in the scene, too tragic.

Upon hearing this, Nan Xi and Xiao Bo nodded in agreement.

Not wanting to delay, they set off immediately.

On the road, Nan Xi made a call, informing that they were already on the way to Zhang Heng’s house.

Forty minutes later, the car slowly turned onto a small road.

Up ahead not far away was a village.

At this moment, it began to drizzle.

Lin Xiaoyan watched the rain outside the window, "This is the first spring rain this year."

Xiao Bo turned on the wipers, "This rain doesn’t seem to be stopping. I remember there’s an umbrella in the car."

Nan Xi observed the village layout, "It should be that house!"

Lin Xiaoyan looked over; it was right in the center of the village.

The door was open, and a middle-aged woman was picking vegetables at the entrance.

"I’ll go down." Lin Xiaoyan said.

The car stopped at the entrance to Zhang Heng’s home. Sitting at the door, Mrs. Zhang looked up at the luxury car parked at the entrance.

Lin Xiaoyan got out of the car and walked briskly to Zhang Heng’s doorway.

"Hello, aunty, I wanted to ask for directions." Lin Xiaoyan approached Mrs. Zhang with a smile.

Upon hearing it was directions, Mrs. Zhang also smiled, "Where are you heading?"

Lin Xiaoyan quickly thought, recalling a nearby place named Lijiang Village.

"Auntie, is Lijiang Village nearby?"

"Oh, Lijiang Village. Follow this road, pass by two villages, and you’ll find a big stone monument at their entrance, that’s Lijiang Village."

"Thank you, thank you, aunty." Lin Xiaoyan returned to the car, picked up a small carton of milk, and carried it down.

"Thank you, aunty, for the directions. This is for you."

Mrs. Zhang saw this young woman asking for directions and then giving milk. She quickly declined.

Lin Xiaoyan placed it in front of Mrs. Zhang, who quickly grabbed Lin Xiaoyan’s hand, refusing it.

Upon successfully touching Mrs. Zhang, scenes rushed forward.

At this time, a young woman carrying a baby and pulling a toddler came out.

"Mom, what’s the matter?" Zhang Heng’s wife asked, holding the child as she emerged.

Seeing the child, Lin Xiaoyan immediately recalled the child from Zhang Heng’s scene.

It was this child.
