Chapter 305: A Fearful Reaction
Yi County is Liu Jun's hometown. His parents opened a breakfast stall when he was very young. Although it was a small business and would not make them rich, it helped Liu Jun grow up with the breakfast stall.

Liu Jun's father passed away in the first year of his marriage. Two years later, Liu Jun had a child. After discussing it, Liu Jun and his wife decided to bring Liu's mother to the city so that they could help take care of her while helping to take care of the child.

After Liu Jun had a car accident, his wife took the compensation money, her mother-in-law and the children back to Yi County and opened a small shop called Liulianwangfan.

"Linglianwangfan" was the name of the breakfast stall of my parents-in-law before. Liu's wife just used the name of the old shop when reopening it, and the old neighbors also came to support it.

A bowl of steaming wonton stew was served on the table, and the proprietress greeted, "It's cold outside, eat it while it's hot. My wonton stew has a thin skin and a lot of meat filling. I guarantee you will love it."

I asked them if they were from other places. Seeing that they looked unfamiliar, I said to them, "Would you like to have some steamed buns? My steamed buns are famous far and wide."

Lu Nanshen smiled and said, OK.

The boss lady is Liu's wife. The snack bar is not big, so she and a young waiter are busy in the front hall. There is an old lady in her sixties in the kitchen, but her hands and feet are nimble. She spreads a piece of bun skin on the palm of her hand, adds a spoonful of prepared meat filling, and pinches the bun skin with extremely flexible fingers. In an instant, a beautiful and plump bun is ready.

There was also a chef in the kitchen, but he was obviously just there to help.

While Lu Nanshen and Hang Si were waiting for the buns, waves of people came into the snack bar. There were so many people buying buns that the old lady could not supply them.

The buns are delicious, with a rich soup in every bite, and the taste is better than many famous restaurants. Hang Si whispered to Lu Nanshen, "I didn't expect Liu's wife to be so capable. Maybe it's my prejudice. I thought the reason why she took the compensation and returned to Liu Jun's hometown was more to lie down."

A large sum of compensation may not mean much in a big city, but in a county town, you can live a comfortable life until old age as long as you are generous.

Lu Nanshen looked around when he first entered the store. The main dishes of the store were posted on the wall, and they looked quite appetizing. Lunch started at 11 o'clock, which means that from the end of breakfast at 10 o'clock to the beginning of lunch, the store only had a one-hour break.

But the so-called rest is just for tidying up, and it is not really a rest.

Although Lu Nanshen and Hang Si came for Liu's wife and mother, it did not mean that they should "alert the enemy" in public. According to Chen Yezhou, Liu's wife was not very cooperative with the police investigation after receiving the compensation. As a victim's family member, it is rare to see a reaction like Liu's wife. She just wanted to put the matter behind her and not mention it again.

Chen Yezhou had run into trouble before, and his wife Liu told him that the driver who caused the accident had already paid the price, so the matter should be left at that.

"In fact," Hang Si lowered her voice this time, "I was thinking that Liu's wife's return to Liu Jun's hometown after receiving the compensation was just a cover-up. She was just looking for the right opportunity to start a second spring." She paused and added, "Okay, I admit that I was dark."

I don't want to pursue it, nor do I want to talk about Liu Jun's car accident anymore. It gives people the feeling that the relationship between Liu Jun and his wife is just average. Liu's wife may have already had someone outside, and she took a large sum of money and was waiting to live together with her beloved.

But today they met Liu's wife.

The information said that Liu's wife was in her early thirties, and Hang Si had also seen a photo of Liu's wife, which was said to have been taken a month before Liu Jun's car accident. Seeing Liu's wife at this moment, he was surprised to find that she seemed to have aged ten years. But her eyes were bright, she was very clear in her actions and words, she cooperated well with her mother-in-law, and she could chat with customers who came to dine, and she was very optimistic.

You can tell at first glance that she is a woman who can live a good life and is definitely not the kind of person who would do anything indecent.

The two ordered some more breakfast, hoping to wait until there were fewer people. But Liu's wife thought they were greedy and kept reminding them to order less. "The portions here are large, it would be a waste if two people can't finish them."

When they were the only two people at the table, Lu Nanshen raised his hand and asked the boss lady to settle the bill. Liu's wife quickly settled the bill and rounded off the change for them. She smiled and asked them where they were from and whether they would come to the store for breakfast tomorrow morning. She then said, "Don't order so much tomorrow. I'll give you some steamed buns." The two thanked her. Just as Hang Si was thinking about how to get to the point, Lu Nanshen said directly, "I'm here for Liu Jun's matter."

Liu's wife was originally smiling, but her expression changed slightly after hearing this. She looked at the young man and woman in front of her suspiciously, "Do you know the one in my family? Or, are you police officers?"

Lu Nanshen was very straightforward. "We are not police officers, and we didn't know Liu Jun before. But Liu Jun is friends with an old friend of mine, so we came here today to learn more about the situation."

Liu's wife frowned slightly, "What old friend?"

This sentence was full of obvious doubt and vigilance, and was definitely not a tone of confusion. Lu Nanshen was best at playing dumb and taking advantage of the situation. He said, "Tian Dayu or Duan Ning, have you heard of these two names?"

It was not known whether it was because Lu Nanshen asked too directly, but after hearing what he said, Liu's wife's brows slightly tightened.

Although it was short, Lu Nanshen saw it clearly.

When Liu's wife spoke again, her tone was not as enthusiastic as before. She said, "I have already told the police that I have never heard of this name."

"Really?" Lu Nanshen stared at her and asked, "It is very likely related to the cause of your husband's death. Why don't you think about it again? Did your husband mention these two names before the accident?"

Without even thinking about it, Liu's wife shook her head and said, "No one has ever mentioned it, and the cause of my husband's death is already clearly stated. What else is there to doubt?"

Hang Si said softly, "Sister, we are not bad people. We want to understand the situation because we really want to help Liu Jun and you."

Generally speaking, no one would be embarrassed to reject a little girl's sweet words, especially a girl who looks pretty and seems to have no aggressive power.

Not wanting to be persuaded by Liu's soft words, she waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't need to lie to you, and this matter is over. I don't need your help."

Hang Si was about to say something when Liu's wife waved her hand at them and said, "If you two are done eating, I'll have the waiter come and clear the table. Someone else will be coming in soon."

As we were talking, customers came in to eat.

Liu's wife hurried over to greet him, laughing and talking cheerfully as usual.

Hang Si sighed and whispered to Lu Nanshen, "I always feel like something is wrong with her."

Lu Nanshen nodded, "She is lying."

Hang Si was stunned, "Are you so sure?"

Lu Nanshen hummed, "She reacted to the names of Tian Dayu and Duan Ning, and it was a very fearful reaction."
