Yibo pulled over on the roadside around the shabby houses. It wasn't the rented house like Zhan's. The houses more descent because the houses were made as one storey houses for the family people. Unlike the rented house where Zhan lived in which the people who reside there most the migrant workers from outside of Beijing who spend most of their times to work, in this regency there are more people who stay a home, makes the residence more alive with the kids' and adults' voices, the lawn mower or other sounds.

Yibo climbed out of the Jeep. Today Zhan wasn't tag him along. Fan Xing asked him to help him to analyze the evidence.  Yibo looked around the suburb area before he walked to a black old pick-up truck that parked in front of a house. Yibo knocked  the pick-up truck on the window, which promptly the driver rolled the window down.

"Boss?" the man inside the truck saluted him with a nod.

Yibo didn't look at the man. His eyes scanning the area.

"How's going on? Is there anything happens with them so far?" asked Yibo, by then he glanced at the man inside the truck. His eyes focused on a house across the road.

"Nothing significant. Last night the wife went to so her double work as she told us. You know.... As a prostitute. Jun tailed her, and she tells the truth...!" reported the man.

"How's about the husband? Have you seen him out?" asked Yibo again.

"Yeah! I saw him sent the kids to school this early morning...!" replied the man.

Yibo stared at the man.

"How's about the wife? Hasn't she come back from work?" asked YIbo.

"Yeah! She back around 4. And I hadn't seen her out until now.  She must be needs to take a nap before get back to work...!" said the man.

"Did you see the husband abusive to the kids?" asked Yibo again.

The man furrowed his brows.

"Abusive?" he looked at Yibo confusedly.

"Yeah! The woman said, She's been abused by her husband. That's why she took double jobs to fulfil the husband's need who jobless...!" said Yibo.

"I didn't see him abusive, Boss! He looks caring and loving his kids. He even brought the baby with him to send his kids to school. And as I watch the house, I saw him the one who cooking and take care the kids, even when his wife has come home.He's such a loving dad for me...!"

"Hmm..." Yibo seemed to think of something.

So, the information given by the woman wasn't 100% true. That day, she told Yibo and Zhan that the husband often abused the kids, too, and demanded her to get more money by worky multiple jobs at a time. But the information he just got from his subordinate made Yibo has to think otherwise.

"Hey! I think the husband came back, Boss!" said the man.

Yibo straightened his back and looked at an old car that came and parked in front of the house they are eyeing on. A man came out of the car, then he went to the boot and took out the bags of groceries and put them on the floor. Ater that he walked back to the rear passenger seat and opened the door. He crouched down for a moment, before he got up with a baby in his arms that he puts inside the back carrier. He carried the baby on the back while talking to the baby. The baby seemed to happy with the daddy. Then the man picked up the bags of groceries and brought them into the house.

"Alright! Keep watching!" Said Yibo, hits the man's shoulder lightly.

"Yes, Boss!" Replied the man.

Yibo walked away from the truck, went back to his Jeep.
