1468: Give up Now? (4 More)

Xu Zhongyi was definitely at the scene of the crime.

The time was right, and the burns on Xu Zhongyi's body when Benfield rescued him the next morning were also right.

A very important piece of the puzzle is missing:

"Did Mr. Benfield ever mention, where are Uncle Xu's wife and son? Mr. Field took care of Uncle Xu for half a year and didn't sell Uncle Xu to the gang. Uncle Xu should trust him!"

Jim shook his head, "Field said very little about Xu. It was very quiet in the basement. It was so quiet that Field would go to see if Xu was still alive every day. If he didn't communicate with others, he would only be drowsy and write something on paper. Field also understood Hua. Chinese characters, the day before Xu secretly left, he burned everything he wrote, and the ashes were flushed down the toilet!"

This performance sounds similar to post-traumatic stress disorder.

Post-traumatic stress disorder, abbreviated as ptsd, is a mental disorder caused by a sudden, threatening or catastrophic event. All things traumatic memories are evaded.

"Can I go to Los Angeles to meet Mr. Field?"

Xia Xiaolan still wants to know more details, from Benfield's own mouth.

Jim also found it very difficult: "Xia, after I found out that the vase seller was Field, he was very scared. This time I went to Los Angeles. He was already selling his house and wanted to take his family to another place. I think you It's not suitable to see Field, it will make Field more afraid, and he won't see you."

Grandma can understand.

Normal people want to stay away from such complicated things. Benfield is afraid that he and his family will get into trouble. He has already said that, and he is not willing to contact them anymore.

"Xiaolan, forget it, don't embarrass others. I thank that Mr. Field for saving Zhong Yi. It's enough for me to prove from his mouth that Zhong Yi is still alive."

In the United States, there was such a big commotion.

Grandma Yu is beating drums in her heart now: Xiaolan is definitely willing to continue chasing her, even if the money spent exceeds the value of the small building in Erqi Square, she will not stop. Investing money and energy or second, how to ensure personal safety?

That Benfield, just because the detective found out that it was the vase he sold, was about to move in a hurry.

The gang that killed Zhong Yi was so powerful, Grandma Yu was not worried about her own life, she was afraid of taking Xia Xiaolan on board.

"Xiaolan, I have a few words with you alone."

Liu Fen is inexplicable, what is there to say she can't listen to?

However, since grandma was always dignified, Liu Fen followed Jim out of the room first.

Only Xia Xiaolan and Grandma Yu were left, and Grandma Yu asked her to sit down and talk:

"This is the end of the matter. Tomorrow we will leave San Francisco and go back to New York. You take me and your mother to Ithaca for two days to see what Cornell University you went to is like, and then I will go with you. Mom, go home!"

Xia Xiaolan's heart tightened.

As savvy as she is, how could she not understand Grandma Yu's subtext.

It's unbelievable. Finding the whereabouts of Xu Zhongyi's family has been an obsession of Grandma Yu for many years. Seeing that the truth is approaching step by step to uncover the mystery, Grandma Yu actually chose to give up!

"you--"

"Just as you think, you can't be too selfish. The Zhongyi family didn't find you, but they involved you and your mother. I'm very grateful for you to find out this point for me. Zhongyi is still alive. The result I want to know the most, I also believe that Zhong Yi is still alive... But he doesn't dare to go back to China to find me, how hard has it been to live these years? Xiaolan, let's stop here, I don't want to implicate you, nor do I want to He found out and harmed him, he must have his own reasons for hiding!"

Are the bad guys still looking for Zhong Yi?

Grandma Yu thinks it is very possible.

With such a big commotion, the bad guys knew that they were looking for Zhong Yi, were they waiting for them to find Zhong Yi?

The law and order in the United States is too chaotic. If Grandma Yu was in China, she would not be afraid. Neither Tang Hongen nor the Zhou family would watch Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter have an accident. In China, the safety of Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter is guaranteed. China's guns are controlled, and they were severely cracked down just two years ago. It is much safer than here in San Francisco!

Xia Xiaolan hesitated: "Do you want Uncle Xu to secretly contact us in a safer way after knowing that we are looking for him?"

Avoid San Francisco, leave San Francisco.

Show it to those gangsters, they have given up looking for Xu Zhongyi.

When Liu Fen and Grandma Yu return to China, Xia Xiaolan is a young female college student, those people will relax their vigilance even more, they may monitor her for a while, and then give up as time goes by.

Xia Xiaolan still has to stay in the United States for more than half a year. If Xu Zhongyi is still alive, he will always show up.

Xia Xiaolan considered the gains and losses for a while, and admitted that Grandma Yu was right.

In San Francisco, there are coffins and autopsies, investigations by the police, and interviews by TV stations and newspapers. All eyes are gathered here, like a crater with hot magma brewing.

If you are not careful, the magma will spew out and hurt yourself.

"I agree with your proposal in principle, but when we leave, I will ask Jim to continue the investigation. Uncle Xu brought more than one antique vase abroad. The vase in Benfield's hand entered the market by coincidence and was traced by Jim. , What about the other antiques that Uncle Xu brought? And Uncle Xu gave the vase to Field only after he recovered from his injury, proving that his condition at that time was not as bad as we thought, and he at least kept some of his belongings."

If you save a vase, will you save others?

Has he shot other things over the years?

Xia Xiaolan felt that there would be two results in tracing the whereabouts of the antiques that Xu Zhongyi brought out back then.

Find out the gangster who harmed Xu Zhongyi, or find Xu Zhongyi himself!

Grandma Yu thought for a while before agreeing:

"You can check, but you have to stay away from that Jim. Even if he is found, no one will find you!"

Xia Xiaolan nodded heavily.

"I'm going to disconnect from Jim and get him out of San Francisco for a while to make it clear to others that we ran out of money in San Francisco and left!"

Xia Xiaolan did what she said.

She first lowered her accommodation standards and moved from a good hotel to a bad one.

He cut the reward for providing clues from $10,000 to $2,000, stayed in San Francisco until June 1, and left San Francisco with regrets.

"No one is following us."

Min Xiaoju was relieved.

Just after she lost the homeless man, Min Xiaoju was a little confused, seeing everyone as someone who was sent to follow.

Min Xiaoju really wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate when she could leave that ghostly place in San Francisco!
