Chapter 6: Strange Photo Frames

Anxin comprehensively understands the situation of the deceased.

Five years ago, Xiao Min and Lin Peipei graduated from college together. Both families wanted to stay in Qingyuan County to find a stable job and get married and start a family. But both girls wanted to go out and go out for a trip, so they secretly contacted each other, left a letter to their family, and came to Tianfeng together.

Xiao Min's family is very poor. There is an older brother who just got married and had children recently. Both brother and sister-in-law are not well educated and do odd jobs on construction sites in the county town. Xiao Min's parents have always taken care of the children.

Xiao Min has been out of place with this simple family since she was a child. It’s not that she has many unrealistic ideas, but that she was very interested in literary works when she was very young.

My parents are very opposed and rejected by those useless preferences, but my brother supports my sister very much.

After more than five years in Tianfeng, Xiao Min's income was not very high. She would pay most of her salary to her parents every month, leaving only some daily expenses. She seemed to be very unhappy at work. She changed jobs many times in five years, but Xiao Min liked writing and never gave up.

Two years ago, Xiao Min began to suffer from insomnia and couldn't sleep, and her family gradually realized something was wrong with Xiao Min.

The brother in the middle has come to see Xiao Min several times, but Xiao Min still insists on staying in Tianfeng.

As for when Xiao Min suffered from depression, Lin Peipei guessed that it might be that after she moved out of the shared house, she did not notice any abnormal reactions of Xiao Min.

"What other hobbies do Xiao Min usually have besides reading?"

The issue of peace of mind made Lin Peipei feel a little uncomfortable, which seems to have nothing to do with the work of the relics organizer.

“It’s very important?”

"It's very important to me." An Xin looked at Lin Peipei with a smile, but there was unquestionable persistence in her eyes.

For a relic organizer, the deceased's preferences do not have much to do with the work content.

But Anxin has a habit. Before doing the relic sorting work, she will understand the deceased’s living habits and hobbies in advance. The more she knows about the deceased, the more she can find a “way of communication” that is more suitable for the deceased.

"Xiao Min likes flowers. When we lived together, a lily was placed on his bedside table every day." Lin Peipei recalled carefully.

"Is there anything else?"

"She loves cleanliness very much, and she should have a slight obsession with cleanliness. Also, she likes to make friends very much, but she doesn't seem to have many friends over the years..."

Lin Peipei said a lot and recorded it carefully.

Although he has accepted Lin Peipei's entrustment, he still needs to communicate with Xiao Min's family in advance to take over Xiao Min's case. After all, Xiao Min's parents are the real client behind it.

At noon that day, I got the address of Xiao Min's house and went to Qingyuan County with peace of mind.

It is a very small and quiet county town with few high-rise buildings and most of the residential buildings are low-rise buildings within seven floors. The roads are very narrow and you can often see damaged areas.

Xiao Min’s family is located near the village in the north of the county town. It is a newly built community with no greening. There are a bunch of electric vehicles parked in the community.

In Unit 2, Building 3, Unit 401, Anxin knocked on the door of Xiao Min’s house according to the address.

The person who opened the door was a woman who looked in her fifties, but in fact, this person was Xiao Min's mother, Chen Hui, who was just 46 years old this year.

"Who are you looking for?" Chen Hui, with a haggard face, looked very tough.

"I am Lin Peipei's friend, and I came for Xiao Min's business."

As soon as he heard the three words Lin Peipei, Chen Hui's expression became even stiffer, as if he had heard something incredible: "Lin Peipei? What did she ask you to do? We have nothing to do with her, and you are not welcome here."

As he said that Chen Hui was about to close the door, he was confused. When he was wondering, a tall and tall man walked out of the living room, looking in his twenties, and reached out to stop Chen Hui: "Mom, let everyone come in first."

This person is Xiao Min's brother Liu Daqiang, who has been staying in Qingyuan County to do some miscellaneous work. Anxin guessed that Lin Peipei might have contacted Liu Daqiang and nodded to enter the living room.

The living room was surrounded by a group of people, and cigarette butts were shrouded in smoke. Two older elders were sitting in the main seat of the sofa, with a tangled face. There were a few juniors around them, and they seemed to be from the family.

"Who is this?" the old elder asked Liu Daqiang.

"I came from the city, Xiao Min's friend."

Liu Daqiang looked a little confused, and Anxin introduced himself. When he heard that Anxin was a relic organizer, several people in the living room were silent in an instant, looking at Anxin with strange eyes.

"Relics sorter? So, Daqiang's father has already figured out how to solve it?" The old man glanced at Liu Qingfeng, the father of Liu Daqiang next to him.

Liu Qingfeng immediately looked nervous: "Where is there, there is no, I don't know. Who asked you to come here?"

Seeing Liu Qingfeng's terrified look, An Xin suddenly noticed something strange. Could it be that Lin Peipei entrusted her to deal with Xiao Min's relics? This matter was not discussed with Xiao Min's family at all?

While wondering, Chen Hui stood up, "Old ancestor, of course, our own family affairs are handled by our own people. How can we deal with such things with outsiders? Who knows where this person came from?"

Seeing that the old man's attitude had eased a lot, Chen Hui turned to Anxin: "I don't care about your relics sorter, it's not a single outsider's turn to intervene in our Liu family. What kind of relics sorter is just to make money from the dead. Let's go!"

As he said that, Chen Hui pushed Anxin and Anxin turned sideways. Chen Hui almost fell down if she didn't stand firm.

When she turned around and was about to push her, Liu Daqiang stepped in front of her: "Mom, don't worry, let's finish the matter first, can you say it?"

Liu Daqiang kept winking at Chen Hui, as if there was something difficult. Soon, Anxin understood Liu Daqiang's embarrassment. Qingyuan County is a small county town, with conservative thoughts and many incredible rules. For example, at present, the daughter of the Liu family died in another place. According to the family rules, people who died in a foreign land must go home for burial, and the person who suffered the aftermath could not be his family.

The people gathered in front of him were discussing how to deal with Xiao Min's funeral. The reason why Liu Daqiang left peace of mind was actually to leave a way out for himself. After all, my family couldn't go now, and the other people were unwilling to help.

"Okay, let's go back first, Qingfeng, you have your ideas and let's discuss it."

The ancestor on the sofa was obviously still a little dissatisfied with An Xin's sudden appearance, and left the Liu family with the help of several young people.

Liu Qingfeng kept apologizing, looking very humble.

Turning back and seeing the ancestor away, Liu Qingfeng went back to the bedroom inside, looking like he was shaking hands and not caring about it, and it didn't seem to be the backbone of this family.

Chen Hui took Liu Daqiang to the kitchen next to him for a long time, and sat on the sofa with a wry smile and waited for the result.

The community is new and the house is new, but the interior looks irregular. The house has only been basically decorated, with water and electricity walls, and the floor is not laid on the floor but on the concrete floor. Although it has been leveled, you can still see the bulges and sunken marks. The only thing that can be seen is the TV background wall of the living room, a few big red flowers, and it looks very abrupt with the map of mountains and rivers.

It can be seen that the Liu family’s family is not well-off, and even the wooden sofa in the living room has obvious signs of use, which looks like a second-hand sofa.

The mother and son discussed for a long time before finally appearing in front of Anxin.

"Miss An, how do you charge for this?" Liu Daqiang came up and asked about the fee.

After a patient explanation, I initially determined that it would cost about 3,000 yuan.

"So much money? Just dealing with a dead person's thing, how can you use so much money? Why don't you rob it?" Chen Hui lost her face in an instant and looked at Liu Daqiang resentfully: "What did you say you are looking for her?! How can you give her so much money? Let's talk about it..."
