Chapter 11: The Vow

  Qiqi ran to the young policeman, pulling his hand while crying and saying: "Uncle, please save my mom, Qiqi can't live without her mom." The young policeman squatted down, wiping away Qiqi's tears with a choked voice, saying: "Little sister, uncle doesn't have the ability to save your mom, but uncle promises you that he will definitely catch the bad guy and avenge your mom."

  At this time, a forensic doctor walked out of the house, his face was pale and he said to a police officer who looked like he was over 40 years old: "The cause of death for Director Zhang is suffocation, there are at least some residual ** inside, I suspect that it was done by someone ** at least four people, during the struggle, they were choked to death. However, this is just a preliminary identification and further autopsy is needed." "Damn it, these bastards, if I catch them, I'll skin them alive." A female police officer said fiercely.

  "Did you see the owner of the restaurant?" Zhang Shouzhang asked the female police officer who was speaking. "No, I didn't see him. The house behind is empty, he might have run away." "Run away? Zhang Shouzhang frowned: "It seems that this case is related to him, even if it's not, he must know something. Otherwise, he wouldn't run. This thing just happened, he shouldn't be able to run far. You quickly notify the municipal bureau, let them set up checkpoints at all traffic intersections, help catch the person, and do it quickly."

  "Alright, I know." He said and ran towards the police car, got in and drove away quickly.

  "Old Wang is troubling you again." "Look what you're saying, this is my job. However, I don't hope that you come to trouble me. Once you look for me, I know something's definitely gone wrong again. I actually hope our country didn't have such a profession as forensic medicine. Alright, let them take the deceased away and we'll do the autopsy after we get back. After finishing speaking, he scolded again, "Damn these beasts."

  Before long, a white van drove over, and two masked French police officers got out of the car, carrying an iron stretcher into the house. After a while, they carried out An's mother, who was covered with a white cloth, and said as they walked: "It's too miserable, these bastards should be shot as soon as they are caught."

  The mother walked to the stretcher, lifted the white cloth covering An's mother's face, took a last look at her, and silently walked back with tears streaming down her face. At this time, An Qi saw his mother on the stretcher, suddenly broke free from the uncle's arms, ran towards the stretcher, and was immediately hugged by Rong Mama who was walking back. An Qi struggled hard, crying and saying: "Rong Mama, let me go! They're going to take away my mom, I'll never see my mom again. They're all bad people. Rong Mama, don't let them take away my mom, I'll miss my mom, I can't live without my mom." The mother heard An Qi's crying and shouting words, tightly hugged him in her arms and wept silently. Seeing An Qi's crying face, the people around couldn't help but shed tears.

  We dragged our tired bodies back home and found several thick diaries while sorting through An's mom's belongings, only then did we learn about An's mom's past.

  At night, QiQi had a nightmare and kept shouting "Mom" all night. The next day, QiQi didn't go to school. Chen Kun, Cao Lei, and I came to the school but didn't attend classes either. Instead, we went to a small woods outside the school. I looked at them: "Do you think An Mom is good to you?" Cao Lei stared with her eyes wide open: "Of course, An Mom is better to me than my own mom." Chen Kun glanced at me and nodded vigorously without saying anything. Rong Yao clenched his fist and said fiercely: "Alright, we swear that when we grow up, we will avenge An Mom by killing them with our own hands!" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand, and they also stretched out their hands to put together.

  We sat on the ground and no one spoke. Suddenly Cao Lei said, "What if the police find them first? We won't be able to avenge An's mom ourselves."
