"Why do you want to get a haircut?" The uncle glanced at Li Kuo, paused, and pointed at the window. "Just walk downstairs. Follow the three traffic lights, then turn left and you'll reach it."
"How far is it?" Li Kuo asked casually.
The uncle said, "It's about half an hour's walk from two bus stops. It's not that far."
"You call it not that far? It's half an hour's walk. " Li Kuo thought the uncle was messing with him, so he questioned, "When I came here just now, I saw a haircut. Why do you want me to walk so far?"
The uncle looked at Li Kuo, then taunted him, "Go, go, no one's stopping you."
"What do you mean?" Li Kuo was not stupid. He felt that there was something wrong with the uncle's words.
The uncle said, "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to come out after you go in. Do you know how much it costs to get a haircut there?"
Li Kuo said in disdain, "It's only a few dozen yuan."
His hairstyle was done in the best hair salon in the county!
It only cost him 15 yuan!
"A few dozen yuan?" The uncle could not help but laugh. "You're so ignorant. Don't you know what kind of place this is? It's a place for celebrities and rich wives. You won't even have enough to get a haircut with a month's salary."
"That expensive?" Li Kuo was speechless.
He looked at the man's expression. He did not seem to be lying.
"I'm just reminding you. Believe it or not, it's up to you." The uncle was happy to see Li Kuo embarrassed, so he continued, "So, go to the place I told you about. It's cheap, 5 yuan will do."
He then muttered, "But it's still a lot more expensive than back home. Back home only costs 50 cents, and you can shave your beard."
Li Kuo said, "I'm not looking for a barber."
Like the peddlers, the barber also carried his tools and walked around the village. Because of the low fees, he had many customers. However, as time went on, the hairstyles were outdated, and young people were no longer willing to patronize them. Their customers were only a few old men.
Following his roommate's advice, he went to the barber and had his hair cut short with tears in his eyes.
He had to cut it!
He lowered his head and combed his hair. He found a noodle shop and turned his grief and indignation into appetite. He ate two big bowls of noodles in one go!
Rubbing his bloated stomach, he bought a pack of cigarettes from the newsstand. Just as he was about to light a cigarette, he was startled by the sound of a car horn.
A red Xiali stopped in front of him. Before the window rolled down, he knew who it was!
Other than his own sister, who else could do this to him!
"Let's go. Come up?" Li Yan waved at him.
"What?" Li Kuo was not very happy.
Li Yan smiled and said, "I look more energetic after I cut my hair. Why does a big guy keep his hair so long every day? He's not agile at all. Hurry up and get in the car. I'll take you to eat something delicious. "
"I'm full." Li Kuo patted his stomach.
"Hey, little handsome boy, come up. You can eat more if you're full." The window of the backseat was also rolled down. Surprisingly, it was Liu Yan and the others.
Looking at that smiling face, Li Kuo suddenly blushed and got into the car without saying a word.
Li Yan shook her head helplessly.
After a few drizzles, the temperature could no longer be high. Although the scorching sun was gone, it still felt a little stuffy.
When the kindergarten opened, Li He personally sent Li Yi to the kindergarten.
It was different from what he had imagined. He had thought that his willful daughter would cry and throw a tantrum, but in fact, as soon as she entered the classroom, she happily waved at Li He, indicating that he could leave!
Then, she ignored his father and magically took out one small toy after another from her small schoolbag to show off to her new friend.
Even when Li He came to pick her up from school, she was still reluctant to leave.
The next morning, without anyone calling her, she rubbed her eyes and got out of bed to go to school.
He Fang was very pleased, feeling that she had a successor.
Li He smiled and said nothing. Just wait and see.
On this day, Li He rarely went to the office. Before the tea was ready, Qi Hua rushed in.
"Director Li, Liu Hanfeng has been taken away."
He looked at Li He's expression and saw that he was unmoved. Thinking that he had not heard, he repeated, "There are also two police officers in the office on the third floor, talking to the staff."
Li He said lightly, "Okay, I got it."
After making the tea, he put it on the table and threw some fish food into the fish tank. The water immediately became lively, the fish fighting for food. The fish tank seemed to be boiling, and the lid almost fell off.
"Mr. Li?" Qi Hua was very surprised by Li He's attitude.
Li He acted as if he did not hear him and only asked, "What about the mother and daughter of the Guo family?"
"I've already bought train tickets for them. They're leaving the day after tomorrow," Qi Hua replied.
Li He said, "So the lawsuit was won?"
"Yes, we hired the best lawyers. The first trial court ruled that the mother and daughter of the Guo family won, but Liu Jiaxin was smart and did not appeal. Otherwise, he would have sued him for extortion."
Li He said slowly, "Of course we have to sue him. Let the mother and daughter of the Guo family continue to sue him, whether it's fraud or extortion, or even if they can get some of the money back."
"Yes." Qi Hua still did not understand Li He's intentions.
The feeling that Li He gave him was that everything was under control.
Li He said lightly, "If you don't understand, ask Dong Hao. He will explain it to you."
"Yes." Qi Hua nodded and left the office.
Unable to find Dong Hao in the corridor or the break room, Qi Hua could not wait to go to the rooftop of the top floor. If Dong Hao had nothing to do, he usually liked to lie on the beach chair on the top floor to sleep.
Sure enough, Dong Hao was wearing sunglasses at the moment, lying on the chair and snoring loudly.
Qi Hua hesitated for a moment, but still poked Dong Hao awake.
"What's the matter?" Dong Hao took off his sunglasses, revealing one eye.
"Liu Hanfeng was just taken away by the police."
Dong Hao said, "A life for a life, a debt for a debt. It's only right and proper. He can't run away."
Qi Hua asked, "You expected this?"
"It's not that I expected it. I was the one who investigated the case. I was the one who collected the evidence and handed it over to the police. Everything happened naturally."
"What does Liu Hanfeng have to do with Guo ShengLi's death?" Qi Hua tried to guess, "Could it be that Liu Hanfeng killed him?"
"When Guo ShengLi died, there were no signs of a struggle or rummaging in the house. The door lock was intact, and there were no artificial injuries or signs of poisoning. The forensic autopsy, the appearance of the body, and the autopsy all confirmed that he committed suicide." Dong Hao was not in a hurry to reply to Qi Hua. Instead, he took a sip of mineral water and said to himself, "Nothing is suspicious, and no one can raise any objections. If it weren't for the pressure from our company, the police would have closed the case a long time ago. Even when I was investigating, I slowly believed that he committed suicide."
"Until Guo Shenglin's words reminded me. She said that even if her brother really couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide, he would definitely make arrangements for his old mother. He couldn't just leave his old mother alone like that. Even if he didn't leave a penny, he would at least leave a suicide note or a few words or something."
"However, there was nothing left."
"Let me ask, even if he really made up his mind to commit suicide, it meant that he was completely disappointed with Liu Jiaxin. He was such a filial son. Even if he could bear to see his old mother die, there was absolutely no reason for him not to make arrangements for her after his death."
