Chapter 13: Is My Dad the Killer?

My grandfather's name is Chen He, he is an old superstition.

He said that choosing a name cannot be based on just one character, it must be based on two characters, otherwise a person's destiny will be incomplete.

But he is already old and doesn't have the heart to change his name again, so when he named my dad, he just took two characters, called Chen Guowen.

And my initial name was not Chen Mo, my name was Chen Fuguang.

The reason why I changed my name to Chen Mo is because I had a serious illness when I was a child and almost died. My grandfather invited an expert to come and see me. The expert told my grandfather that my destiny was very strange, and I don't remember how strange it was because I didn't believe in these things before.

I only remember that expert telling my grandfather that my destiny must have flaws, otherwise I will defeat many people, so my grandfather changed my name to Chen Mo.

Just now, I heard the name 'Chen Guowen' from Brother Liu's mouth.

Meng Yifan and I almost thought of my dad at the same time.

But a name is just a title and not unique to everyone, and it is common to have duplicate names.

And although my family is not very poor, they are not rich either. It's just that one house, and the whole family lives in it. That house has spent all my grandfather's savings, so it's impossible for my family to have another house outside.

"Liu, how old is Chen Guowen? Where is he from?" I continued to ask Liu.

Actually, when I asked this question, I was a bit nervous.

I'm afraid it's not a coincidence

Liu thought for a moment and said, "I really don't know about that, but I saw this person at work today. He is a middle-aged person, polite, wearing a pair of glasses, and his accent should be that of a local."

I widened my eyes and my heart immediately became flustered.

Because my dad also wears a pair of glasses, and he looks very polite

He used to work as an accountant in a company for more than ten years, but when that company went bankrupt, he went to his friend's factory to continue working as an accountant.

Due to staying in the office all year round and not being exposed to wind and sun, although he is already in his fifties this year, he looks only in his forties.

And he's a local!

Brother Liu's description of the first householder of that house is all corresponding to my father, even the name is exactly the same!

So many coincidences combined, is that still a coincidence?

This is a homicide case!

How could my dad be involved in a murder case! Also, where on earth did he get so much money? He actually has a house outside. Does my grandfather know about this?

At this moment, I can hardly conceal my panic.

Although Meng Yifan was also shocked, he didn't show it and quickly glared at me, saying, "You have hemorrhoids. If you need to urinate urgently, go and drain the water. After draining, come back."

He is helping me out.

I quickly got up and forced a smile, saying, "Brother Liu, eat first, otherwise it will be cold later. I'll go to the restroom."

After speaking, I grabbed my phone and walked out of the private room, quickly calling my dad.

My dad turned off the phone and couldn't get through at all.

My heart sank, and the last bit of fantasy shattered.

His phone never shuts down, why did it shut down today?

It seems that he is really the first homeowner of that house. He was summoned by the police this afternoon, so his phone turned off, but I don't know if it was released.

My heart is flustered and my mind is blank.

My dad is a good person, and I have always known that he doesn't even dare to kill chickens. I don't believe he would do such a thing.

But if he is really the first head of that house and Li Xiumei dies in that house, if the police cannot find the real culprit, he cannot explain clearly

I dare not think further and quickly called my grandfather again.

My grandfather answered the phone, and his tone was a bit different from usual, which I immediately recognized.

"Xiaomo, what happened? Why did you think of calling me?"

"Grandpa, where's my dad? Is he at home?"

On the other end of the phone, there was suddenly a silence.

After a while, he said, "Your dad is at home. He just came back, what's wrong?"

"Where did he go before he came back?" I asked.

There was silence over there again.

"Overtime, your dad has been a bit busy lately, so he came back a bit late. What's going on?"

"It's okay, I need to come back tonight. You guys stay up late."

After speaking, I hung up the phone and didn't say much on the phone for now.

According to my grandfather's tone, he should already know that my father was taken to the police station.

I sorted out my emotions and returned to the private room.

I originally wanted to inquire about the case with Brother Liu, but he didn't know much either. When the extermination case occurred fifteen years ago, he was still in the police academy and hadn't graduated.

And in the case of Li Xiumei hiding her body, he is not the relevant investigator, and Li Xiumei's body was only dug up yesterday, and the relevant investigators have not yet investigated too many clues.

"Brother Liu, could you please help us pay more attention to these two cases?"

This Li Xiumei is not only related to my and Meng Yifan's lives, but also to my father. Naturally, I need to inquire more about the news.

"If there's anything you need to take care of, just let me know."

"That's no problem, everyone is brothers."

Liu only recognizes money, and I can see it too.

But he was still very cautious, staring at us and asking, "Can you tell me why you must inquire about these two cases? I still need to clarify this. If something happens, it will not be good for everyone."

Meng Yifan and I didn't know how to explain to him, but we still told him the truth.

"Brother Liu, you may not believe it when you say it out loud. We have been entangled by a ghost, and this ghost is highly likely to be Li Xiumei..."

Upon hearing this explanation, the crayfish that Liu Ge had just picked up almost fell to the ground in fear.

He swallowed his saliva and stared blankly at us.

"I believe in you!"

"Do you really believe it?"

Meng Yifan and I are somewhat unbelievable.

He's a police officer, how could he believe these things? "I'm telling you, I've really encountered this kind of thing before."

Liu Ge became interested and told us another case: "When I first became a police officer, I encountered a murder case where the victim was a young man who was killed and couldn't even find his body."

"Guess how we found his body afterwards."
