When Lü Luo and the others looked at the old lady, the energetic old lady looked back at them.
They were speechless for a while.
"Mom, you're back."
"Little Ming, we have a guest!"
Although the old lady was in good spirits, she was a little thin and her hair was all white, but she was very neat.
Listening to the simple conversation between the two, Lü Luo knew who the old lady was. She was Qian Ming's mother.
Qian Ming's mother did not put on any other shoes after changing out of her shoes. She was completely barefoot, and the pair of shoes she wore outside was placed in the last hole of the shoe cabinet.
Lü Luo was a little puzzled. With Qian Ming's wealth, his mother should not be a rich lady, but at the very least, she should not be like this. She was too simple.
[This old lady has a very strong power of the Holy Light, but the power of the Holy Light is slowly dissipating and does not originate from her.]
Holy Light! Lü Luo habitually wanted to squint, but he restrained himself because he saw Qian Ming's mother staring at him.
The old lady's gaze shifted to Lü Luo and Zhou Kai's feet. When she saw that both of them were wearing shoe covers, the smile on her face widened.
"Who are these two?"
"They're from the Circle Studio. They're here to investigate Xiaoting's disappearance."
"It's about Manting again. Sigh, it's good to investigate. Once you do, you'll give up.
Oh, by the way, I went to buy fresh carving dragon meat today. It's very expensive. I'll make your favorite dragon meat pot later. "
"Mom, I don't want to eat meat, especially mutant meat."
"Carving dragon is a mutant that has been purified by the Church. It's completely edible. It's very expensive, okay?"
"I really don't want to eat it."
"Okay, okay, okay. You don't want to eat it! How about beef cow? "
Qian Ming did not speak. Lü Luo tried to read the old lady's expression, but he failed.
From the short observation just now, Lü Luo had already confirmed a few things.
The person who cooked was his mother. His mother was a very simple person, and she was very kind to Qian Ming.
This kind of kindness was the kind of kindness that was held in the palm of one's hand. Even though Qian Ming was already over 40 years old, Qian Ming's mother still treated him like a child.
Qian Ming was not obsessed with cleanliness. The one who was obsessed with cleanliness was his mother, and it was an undisguised obsession with cleanliness. Qian Ming was especially concerned about hygiene because he was worried about his mother's feelings.
He probably cared a lot about his mother's feelings, but in his heart, he was very resistant to his mother's excessive care. Was he a rebellious mommy's boy?
But Lü Luo remembered that Li Xiaoting was a very extravagant woman, which was in conflict with her mother.
A mommy's boy, an extravagant daughter-in-law, and a simple mother-in-law. No matter how one looked at it, it looked like a family with a bad relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Coupled with the holy light power on Qian Mu's mother, her motive for committing the crime was huge!
The only thing she couldn't figure out was that Li Xiaoting was pregnant with Qian Ming's child. How could Qian Ming's mother do anything to her own grandson?
[The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really a problem that humans have never solved. If you can solve it, I feel that you can win the Wasteland Peace Prize.]
"Hello, Granny. My name is Lü Luo, and he is Zhou Kai. Can we go to the third floor to take a look?"
Lü Luo was already prepared to be rejected by Qian Mu's mother, and what he would say after being rejected. However, to his surprise, Qian Mu's mother agreed very casually.
"Sure, the third floor is the attic. I usually live there. Although I'm old, my legs are still quite good.
However, I pray there all year round, so in order to avoid blasphemy against the holy light and dawn, I locked the door to the third floor. "
"I see. Then we will try to be careful."
Lü Luo and Zhou Kai were led by Qian Mu's mother to the third floor of the villa, which was the attic here.
It was still so clean and tidy. Although the sun couldn't be seen, some light still shone in from the skylight on the roof.
[There are no traces of blood or female remains, nor are there any traces of battle. This place is so clean that it looks like it was licked by a dog.]
Lü Luo wasn't in a hurry. He slowly retreated and observed the attic with a more open field of view until his gaze stopped on the holy book of the Church of Dawn.
"Can I open it and take a look?"
"Of course, the light is everywhere."
Lü Luo had just touched the holy book when The Observer gave a new prompt.
[A powerful energy item. This holy book has a very powerful holy light power. Currently, it is unknown what its function is.
However, this holy light is the same as the old lady's, it is gradually fading.]
Opening the first page of the holy book, Lü Luo's eyes narrowed.
Because in the blank space of the first page, there was a hand-drawn flower pattern, which was exactly the same as the one on the floor of the Circle studio.
[This pattern again. If you really want to know what this pattern means, go to the library and look up the church's information.]
Opening the holy book, Lü Luo saw a prayer commonly used by the church.
"Those who pursue dawn will always be illuminated by the holy light."
Lü Luo quickly flipped through the holy book and didn't find anything special. At least, The Observer couldn't see it.
He knocked on the handrail of the attic, closed his eyes, and began to organize his thoughts.
Although the old lady didn't seem suspicious, from the moment he saw the flower, Lü Luo's intuition told him that Li Xiaoting's disappearance was definitely related to her mother.
If the motive was a conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, then the child was the key that couldn't be avoided.
"Wait! Child! I remember that Lu Mengna's death seemed to be related to the child. The church said that Lu Mengna's child was a disaster. "
Lü Luo looked at the old lady who brought them fresh fruit and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Does granny like children?"
Lü Luo ate the fruit while casually looking at the items in the attic.
"Of course, I like children the most."
Qian Mu's mother's expression didn't seem to be fake. However, Lv Luo's next sentence made Qian Mu's expression change.
"But what if this child is not recognized by the church?"
The old lady's smile disappeared and she looked at Lü Luo.
"The Holy Light will purify all filth. Those who pursue the dawn will always be illuminated by the Holy Light."
Lü Luo didn't comment on the church's words. As for this answer, Lü Luo had already guessed it.
He looked at Qian Ming, but Qian Ming subconsciously avoided Lü Luo's gaze.
"There's something wrong with this man too!"
...
About an hour later, Lü Luo slowly finished eating the expensive wasteland fruit in Qian Ming's house and was about to leave with Zhou Kai.
"Sorry to disturb you, granny, Mr. Qian Ming. We will follow up on the search.
You don't have to worry too much. I believe that Miss Li Manting's case will have an answer soon. "
Seeing that Lü Luo didn't find any important clues, Qian Ming was a little disappointed.
"I see. Alright, I'll wait for your news."
"Take care, both of you."
Qian Ming's mother also greeted the two of them, but Lü Luo noticed something strange.
He felt that Qian Ming's mother's voice was a little older than before.
Even her waist and footsteps were more crooked and staggered than before.
"Qian Ming's mother's physical fitness is declining rapidly. You should have noticed it.
According to the precise analysis of the great S-rank Observer, this decline in physical fitness is related to the loss of the Holy Light in her body. "
