Thump, thump, thump. Footsteps sounded.
Lin Can and Xu Qingqing looked at the door at the same time. Ma Guozhen had already returned after throwing the trash.
"Captain Ma is quite fast."
Lin Can raised his head and glanced at Ma Guozhen. He was panting slightly, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had run up and down the stairs.
Ma Guozhen wasn't that old, not even 35 years old.
However, he had a square face and usually dressed like an experienced leader, so he looked at least ten years older.
Looking at the beads of sweat on Ma Guozhen's forehead, he seemed to be completely different from his usual steady appearance.
Lin Can then realized that the captain of the criminal police in front of him was actually half a young man. Occasionally, he would show his youthful and energetic side when he did things.
However, this made Lin Can feel that Ma Guozhen was more pleasing to the eye. Ma Guozhen would show his young side in front of Lin Can, which meant that he trusted Lin Can very much and did not hide his young side. This made Lin Can admire him very much.
"Captain Ma, you've worked hard. Hurry up and drink a glass of water.”
Xu Qingqing poured a glass of water for Ma Guozhen.
"Thank you."
Ma Guozhen said politely, then took the glass of water from Xu Qingqing and drank it in one gulp.
"Let's continue our previous topic.”
"You said that Liu Guanghui seemed a little strange recently. What's going on?" Lin Can asked Xu Qingqing.”
"Usually, Uncle Liu is actually a very good person. I've never seen him get angry with others. Moreover, he doesn't smoke, drink, or gamble. He works hard to earn money every day.”
"But since a few days ago, when I came home every day, I found the door of Uncle Liu's house open. When I looked inside, I saw Uncle Liu's face full of stubble, holding a bottle of wine and sleeping on the sofa."”
"And the table is full of snacks and empty wine bottles. This is completely different from the usual Uncle Liu. In the past, his house was always clean, and I've never seen him drink.”
"And this situation lasted for a few days. Once, I asked him what happened, but he refused to say anything. He only said some strange things.”
Xu Qingqing looked confused." He said he might not see him again. He even asked me if I had any gifts I wanted. He said he wouldn't have the chance to give them to me in the future."”
"Other than these, is there anything else unusual about Liu Guanghui?”
Lin Can asked.
"If there's anything unusual…it's that Uncle Liu's temper has suddenly become particularly bad recently.”
Xu Qingqing said," The last time I went to his stall to sell meat, I saw him arguing with an old customer. Uncle Liu almost swung his kitchen knife to cut someone. This is the first time I've seen Uncle Liu so irritable. He used to be very gentle."”
Hearing this, Lin Can and Ma Guozhen could not help but look at each other.
From the looks of it, there were many suspicious points about Liu Guanghui. If they could find Liu Guanghui's whereabouts as soon as possible, they might be able to find a breakthrough point in the case!
Clang!
A sound similar to glass shattering suddenly came from the room facing south.
Lin Can and Ma Guozhen were stunned for a moment, then they looked at Xu Qingqing in confusion.
"Oh no, my father must have woken up…He must be sick again.”
Xu Qingqing quickly ran to the TV cabinet in the living room, opened one of the drawers, and took out a bottle of medicine. She got up and poured a glass of water on the coffee table, then opened the door and jogged in.
Lin Can and Ma Guozhen also got up from the sofa and walked into the room together.
The floor of the room was filled with glass shards. A middle-aged man in his fifties was holding another glass cup high in his hand. His hand was obviously cut by the glass and was seeping with dark red blood.
"Dad…don't throw it away, come and take your medicine!”
Just as Xu Qingqing finished speaking, the glass in the middle-aged man's hand was thrown to the door with a clang.
The glass shattered instantly, almost splashing onto Lin Can and Ma Guozhen who were at the door.
Xu Qingqing held the bottle of water and medicine, avoiding the glass shards under her feet and coming to the side of the middle-aged man.
She gently stroked the middle-aged man's back and opened the medicine jar in her hand. She poured out two capsules and fed them to the middle-aged man.
Lin Can glanced at the medicine bottle in Xu Qingqing's hand. The label on the cover stated that it was an antipsychotic medicine for treating manic diseases.
After taking the medicine, the middle-aged man's manic emotions slowly calmed down. Xu Qingqing helped him lie down and rest at the head of the bed. Then, she said apologetically to Lin Can and Ma Guozhen,"Lin Can, Captain Ma, are you alright?”
"We're fine."
"The glass shards didn't splash on us, so don't worry," Ma Guozhen replied.”
"I'm really sorry…I've frightened the two of you. He's my father, Xu Weicheng.”
Xu Qingqing's face was still full of apology." My dad was fine a while ago. Today, his illness seems to be more serious than usual."”
"It's okay. I know your father's situation. It's not easy for you to take care of him alone.”
Ma Guozhen sighed.
Lin Can did not participate in the conversation. Instead, he sized up the room for a while.
The lights were not turned on in the room and the curtains were not opened, so it was a little dark.
The furnishings inside were also very simple. There was a bed, a desk, and a chair. There were a few photos of Xu Qingqing and her father hanging on the wall. Lin Can glanced at them one by one.
" They are bad people... They want my daughter..."
Xu Weicheng, who was sitting on the bed, seemed to still be in a state of illness. He glared at Ma Guozhen and Lin Can angrily and muttered," Go…Let them go…If they don't go, I'll beat them to death!"”
