Chapter 439 I Believed Your Lie
Not long after Li Lianhua and the village chief left, Guoguo came out with his finished homework.
Guoguo handed the homework to Su Ci and asked her to correct it: "Mother, I have finished my homework."
Then, he propped up his chin with both hands, and looked at his mother with his big eyes blinking: "Mother, how long do you think it will take for Dad to solve the case this time?"
Guoguo has great confidence in his own old fox, and he has never thought that there would be a case that his father could not solve.
Solving a case is always just a matter of time.
In his eyes, his father is the smartest man in the world, and there is nothing he can't do.
If there is, it means that dad hasn’t learned it yet.
Su Ci answered while correcting homework: "I don't know either. When he comes back, you can ask him what he found out."
Guoguo sighed and muttered, "If only I had gone with my father just now."
Su Ci tapped his forehead and rolled his eyes at him. "What's so good about a corpse? It's not something a child like you should look at. Aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night?"
Although Li Lianhua and Su Ci tried their best to avoid letting Guoguo see the corpse every time there was a murder, there were always times when it could not be avoided.
Guo Guo was unconvinced and said, "It's not like I haven't seen dead people before, so I'm not afraid."
Su Ci perfunctorily said, "Yes, yes, our Guoguo is the most daring. At most, you would hold your father's hand tightly when you go to bed at night and let him sleep with you. You have never had a nightmare or been awakened by it."
Guoguo heard this and shouted "A Niang~" with some embarrassment.
After Su Ci finished marking the homework, he returned the notebook to him and said, "Your homework is well done this time. All the answers are correct. After you have a good rest, go practice swordplay."
Guoguo nodded obediently and suggested that she practice with him, and Su Ci agreed.
After the mother and son finished practicing sword, they waited for another quarter of an hour before Li Lianhua came back leisurely from outside with a bag in her hand.
As soon as he came back, Guo Guo greeted him warmly, "Dad, how is it? Is this case difficult? When can you solve it?"
Li Lianhua curled her lips speechlessly, "I'm not a god. I can't tell who the murderer is just by looking at him. How can I know how long it will take to solve the case?"
Guoguo was not disappointed and said excitedly: "Then Dad, is there anything I can do to help? I also want to help solve the case."
Li Lianhua patted him on the shoulder and said seriously, "I do need your help. This matter is very important and urgent. I don't trust anyone else except you."
When Guoguo heard this, he straightened his back immediately as if he was about to take on some important mission, and said solemnly: "Father, if you need anything, just tell me, and I will definitely do it for you beautifully."
Li Lianhua nodded gracefully, her white fingers lightly touching her lips, looking at Guoguo, as if wondering whether he could complete the task.
Guoguo stared at Li Lianhua expectantly, but did not dare to urge her, for fear that his father would think he was unstable and would be unwilling to assign him the task.
Seeing this, Su Ci looked at Li Lianhua strangely, silently wondering what could Guoguo, a little kid, do.
Could it be that he wanted Guoguo to help him get some information? That shouldn't be the case. Is there any information that he can't find out?
Su Ci thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anything that only Guoguo could do.
It seems that this case is very difficult.
After a long while, Guoguo received a job that Li Lianhua asked him to do. "This matter is very important and urgent. I don't trust anyone else except you" - help him count money.
Li Lianhua took out a plain purse from her sleeve and handed it to Guoguo, saying seriously, "Just now, I went to buy some shrimps and planned to cook them for your mother.
The boss said he gave me fifty-two copper coins, but no matter how I counted, there were only fifty. Can you help me count them? "
Guo Guo: “…”
Su Ci: “…”
Seeing that Guoguo didn't take the purse and just stared at her blankly, Li Lianhua tilted her head and encouraged her, "Guoguo, this task is very difficult and it can only be done by you. Come on, I'm rooting for you."
Guo Guo looked down at the purse that was handed to her, then looked at Li Lianhua who was serious, and said angrily:
"Father, I really believed your lies. This purse and the money belong to me. It doesn't matter whether there are fifty coppers or fifty-two coppers in it. It has nothing to do with you. Humph!"
After saying that, he snatched the purse, turned around and ran back to the room, slamming the door.
