Chapter 621: 578 Reapply for a Search Warrant (2 updates)

"Do you think it’s possible with my body?" Elder Tan asked with a chuckle in response.

Lu Han didn’t say much else, "You have some conscience, at least. The suffering Jiaojiao has endured for you lately hasn’t been in vain."

Elder Tan paused, said nothing more, and bent down to focus on changing the tire for Lu Han.

It felt as though, to him, Lin Jiaojiao was truly just an insignificant stranger.

"Thanks," Lu Han said, and then took Tongtong to the Tan Family’s restaurant garden, "I’m taking Tongtong for a walk in your garden, that’s all right, isn’t it?"

"No problem, just don’t go to the back. Menmen had someone raise a Tibetan Mastiff there, and that guy, even I would not dare mess with it," Elder Tan warned them.

The last time, that dog had charged at them; if it hadn’t been for Lin Menmen’s timely scolding, it would have truly bitten him.

Thankfully, Jiaojiao didn’t keep dogs. He truly disliked having dogs. If the household had to keep some living creatures, he thought having a couple of parrots or a tank of fish, these harmless animals, would be just fine.

"Mm, got it, don’t worry, we’ll be careful," Lu Han replied.

Lu Han hadn’t planned to take Tongtong too far, just that he had noticed Tongtong’s reaction earlier and guessed he must have heard the insects.

So, Lin Menmen was indeed raising these terrifying creatures in their own home?

If Tongtong could determine the exact location by sound, then Lin Menmen was completely done for.

With both human and material evidence, this time, he was eager to see how she would try to exonerate herself.

Once he was certain Elder Tan couldn’t hear their conversation, Lu Han turned to Tongtong, "Tongtong, how is it, did you hear anything?"

"Daddy, there are so many insects here, my ears hurt from all their noise," Tongtong had been enduring, and now he finally could complain to Lu Han.

"A lot of insects? Can you hear where they are?" Lu Han asked in a low voice.

"They’re in the house behind us," Tongtong said without pointing and moved closer to Lu Han.

"Are you sure they’re inside the house? Not underground?" Lu Han hadn’t expected Tongtong to be so adept, being able to locate things by their sounds.

It was quite a surprise.

"Mm, inside the house, not underground," Tongtong affirmed.

"Then Tongtong, if we go inside that house later, could you pinpoint their exact location?"

"Yeah, I can, as long as they’re alive. Even if their sounds are faint, I can hear them," Tongtong assured.

Last time he rushed in, that Poisonous Insect had only a bit of life left, yet he could still hear its sound and swiftly locate its position.

"Daddy, can’t you hear them? Their noise is so loud, Tongtong’s ears hurt," Tongtong thought everyone could hear them, it was just that he happened to find that Poisonous Insect.

Now, Tongtong started to realize not everyone could hear the sounds of those insects.

His daddy couldn’t hear them.

Could others not hear them as well?

Tongtong tilted his head to look at his godfather.

"Should we find some cotton to block your ears?" Lu Han asked.

"No need, I’ll get used to it gradually."

"All right."

"Just rub them yourself for a while, we’re going to go in soon," Lu Han said.

"Yeah, I got it."

Tongtong did as Lu Han had taught him before and rubbed his ears, and soon, they didn’t seem to hurt as much anymore.

Elder Tan quickly finished changing Lu Han’s tire, and the three of them entered the house.

The sound was getting clearer and clearer, then, Tongtong glanced at the stairs, and Lu Han, who was paying close attention to Tongtong’s reaction, almost understood when he saw him glance at the stairs.

Afterward, the father and son chatted with Elder Tan in the living room for a while. Elder Tan talked about Rongrong’s illness, and Lu Han discussed the matter of his parents looking for a school for Tongtong to attend.

Lin Menmen, acting as if she were the true mistress of the house, cut the fruit in the kitchen and brought it out, sitting next to Elder Tan and crossing her legs.

"Tongtong, have some fruit."

Tongtong shook his head, "Thank you, Auntie, Tongtong doesn’t want to eat right now."

"Okay, Auntie will leave it here for you. You can eat it when you feel like it."

"Hmm, thank you, Auntie."

After sitting for a while, Lu Han found an excuse to leave with Tongtong.

Elder Tan wasn’t feeling well, needed to rest, and didn’t ask them to stay longer. He packed the fruit for Tongtong to take home to eat.

On the way, Lu Han threw the fruit prepared by Lin Menmen into the roadside trash can.

Meanwhile, after they had left, Elder Tan drank the fat-reducing oatmeal prepared by Lin Menmen and went back to his room to sleep.

Once Elder Tan had fallen asleep, Lin Menmen went to the garden to find the gardener, "What were Lu Han and his son doing in the garden just now?"

"To answer Madam, they were just wandering around the garden, and then the little boy said his ear hurt," the gardener relayed what he had heard to Lin Menmen.

"Oh, I see, thanks for your hard work."

This boy named Tongtong, Elder Tan had told her, already had health issues which is how he came to know Lu Han.

He had adopted the child because the boy was really unlucky, his parents had died in a car accident, his grandparents were old, and the child needed treatment and constant medication, which the elderlies’ pensions couldn’t cover.

Despite this, Lin Menmen didn’t bother to find out why Tongtong’s ear was hurting and turned to go into the house, heading upstairs.

Lin Menmen could never have imagined that her plan, prepared nearly for five years and close to success, would be ruined by a little brat in the end.

The Poisonous Insect chamber she had raised was found by a child leading the people she despised, destroying all her plans.

After Lu Han sent Tongtong home, he went to the Criminal Investigation Department to find He Zhendong.

"Why did you show up only now? I thought you were going to run away with your wife out of fear of being charged," He Zhendong retorted.

"Is that so? Then how come I didn’t notice the net you cast on the way here?" Lu Han raised an eyebrow. He Zhendong was capable but his mouth wasn’t exactly likable.

"That woman is dead," He Zhendong added.

"That fast?"

The woman had passed away even faster than Ouyang Jingjing had suddenly died.

"You doctors, you don’t seem much affected when you hear about someone dying?"

"Captain He doesn’t seem too upset either," Lu Han said, never a loser in a verbal fight, but these years, he hadn’t come across someone he could spar with.

"..."

"Doctor Lu, what’s the next step? Right now, my team is looking for the deceased’s family. If the family requests that we file a case, we might ask Mrs. Lu to cooperate with our investigation at the Criminal Investigation Brigade."

"Instead of wasting time on my wife, it might be better to apply for a search warrant to check Lin Menmen’s previous home. This time, I’ll lead the team, and we’ll definitely uncover the most direct evidence to identify Lin Menmen as the murderer."
