Apart from a few seven or eight-year-old children playing games behind him, nothing unusual was noticed.
strangeness!
Why does she feel like someone is spying on her from behind
She looked carefully again, and after confirming that there was nothing strange everywhere, she slowly turned around.
It seems that the perverted stalker has caused a psychological shadow on him.
She laughed to herself as she entered the house.
When the takeaway arrived, Cheng Xiang was fiddling with it in the restaurant. When he saw her coming in, he immediately invited her to come over for dinner.
"I was going to call you."
Mu Yu hurried over and sat down, but did not take the chopsticks he handed over. Instead, he quickly relayed to him what Yue Lele had just said.
"You mean, Lele's mother's illness is related to Qian Daqing?"
Mu Yu nodded: "There must be something else that his family is hiding from Xiaofan. I even suspect that Sister Lele's death is related to Qian Daqing."
Cheng Xiang tried to guess: "Could Lele's mother be one of the women harmed by Qian Daqing?"
"This... this shouldn't be possible, right?" Mu Yu found the photo of Lele's mother, Xie Xiaojing, that Liu Xiaofan had sent to her from her mobile phone. "Lele is seven and a half years old this year, which means that Xie Xiaojing was already the mother of two children six years ago. Well, she looks so ordinary, how could Qian Daqing, who hangs out among young girls every day, have an idea for her? This is not consistent with the clues Weng Jiali gave us. "
The girls that Weng Jiali provided for Daqing's troubles were all aged between sixteen and twenty. According to Weng Jiali, they were all very beautiful, unmarried girls.
“I’m tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and sometimes I want to change my taste.”
Mu Yu felt that what he said made sense, and there was a look of worry on his face: "If your guess is right, even Xie Xiaojing, a married woman who ruined Qian Daqing and had to hide it from the police, would not dare to face the pain of that year. Those girls who were unmarried back then are probably married now, and they are afraid that they will be even less willing to be mentioned about that unbearable past, and they will not cooperate with our investigation. "
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe they also hate Qian Daqing like the Weng family and their daughters, and wish he would go to hell soon?" Cheng Xiang's voice immediately changed, "But we have to pay attention to the methods during the investigation, and don't do it in front of other people's eyes. If you ask them in person, you should find out the situation from them privately.”
Mu Yu nodded, but still frowned, and sighed deeply.
"Don't worry too much. Maybe the murderer has nothing to do with these nine girls." Cheng Xiang smiled and served her a bowl of soup, "This is pheasant soup, try it."
"Can you order pheasant soup for takeout? They must have used domestic chicken as pheasant to deceive us!"
Unexpectedly, she would question it, and Cheng Xiang hurriedly found something to cover it up: "Actually, I didn't order the takeout online. I ordered it directly from the hotel, and I paid extra to have it delivered to my home. It's a star hotel, and they won't do it just for the sake of flattery. Those who want to lose their own brand for profit.”
Of course he would not tell her that Qin Jinhuan specially asked the chef to prepare these meals.
"That's too expensive. Don't waste money like this." Mu Yu didn't get suspicious, but just warned, "There is a supermarket at the door of the community. You go buy some food and put it in the refrigerator tomorrow morning. I will cook later."
"You cook? How can that be done?!" The boss still feels so distressed? Why don't you scold him
Mu Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't cook a big meal for you. I'll cook something to satisfy your stomach every day, so as not to let the neighbors see us ordering takeout every day and say we can't live well."
"Eating casually will not be nutritious."
Mu Yu put down the soup bowl angrily: "Tell your boss later that he doesn't have to worry about what I eat."
Cheng Xiang thought he had been seen through, and suddenly became panicked and did not dare to say anything against it.
At this moment, he heard Mu Yu sigh deeply and was hesitating on how to defend his boss.
, Mu Yu said: "Do you think it is necessary for us to spend so much effort to find the murderers of Qian Daqing and others? You see, every one of them has a bad record, they are all the scum of society, and they are all people who deserve to die. ! It’s just four lives. No matter what the murderer’s reasons or difficulties are, once he is caught, he will pay for it with his life!”
It turned out that she was sighing about this.
Cheng Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately answered: "Your duty is to help Rong Jian and the others restore the truth to everyone and restore stability to society. As for anything else, it is not your concern."
"But I think after the murderer is found, the bad guys will do whatever they want, and society will not be stable."
"If it were the age of Liangshan, if you meet bad people, you only need to kill people like the heroes of Liangshan under the banner of 'eliminating violence and enforcing justice for heaven'. The problem is that these are not troubled times, but peaceful times. If we still use the troubled times, What’s the use of national laws? As a public servant, how can you say such impulsive things?”
Cheng Xiang's words made Mu Yu feel ashamed: "I just, just fight for the injustice of those who suffered from them."
"They will end up like that, first of all because of their weak legal awareness. Let's not talk about it, let's talk about Weng Kangyi's family. If he could collect accurate criminal evidence of Qian Daqing's gang and then sue him, instead of recklessly If he went to someone's house with a knife to chop and smash things, he wouldn't have been imprisoned, and his family wouldn't have been so miserable. Besides, Qian Xiaoyu was uneducated, so being restrained by Qian Fenggen when she was fourteen or fifteen years old was understandable. , but later she married Tian Maocai, an educated man who taught her literacy and etiquette, but she still didn’t know how to use legal weapons to protect herself. Even though she hated Qian Fenggen to the core of her bones, she never thought about it. It's really sad that you still succumb to him despite resisting. So in the final analysis, finding the murderer is not the crux of the problem. Besides, if you think about it from another perspective, society is doing you every day. If we fight against each other, if we don’t like anyone, we’ll kill him. Isn’t this society going to be in chaos?”
Seeing Mu Yu staring at him, Cheng Xiang suddenly realized that these words were what she had said to him before. He scratched his head in embarrassment and then laughed dryly.
His cute look also made Mu Yu amused.
In fact, it wasn't that she really didn't intend to continue tracking down the murderer, but sometimes her mind would suddenly hit a dead end, causing her to suddenly have some negative thoughts.
"Okay, let's eat. After dinner, it's time for Xiaofan to pass the information on the nine girls to us. Then we will study it." Cheng Xiang served a bowl of rice to Mu Yu.
"Thank you." Mu Yu was about to eat when he saw that Cheng Xiang had been standing aside and had no intention of sitting down to eat together. He was immediately puzzled, "Why don't you eat?"
"I'll eat it later."
"Why don't we eat together?"
"This, this is not good."
"What's not good? What's not good?"
Cheng Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "You are the master and I am the servant."
Mu Yu immediately became angry and threw away his chopsticks: "Where does the distinction between master and servant come from? What age are you in? Are there still people with stupid ideas trying to instill the idea of master and servant in you?"
Knowing that she was scolding Qin Jinhuan, Cheng Xiang hurriedly explained: "This is not because someone indoctrinated her, but because we understand our duties."
"What kind of position is there? At most, I am the boss's wife, and you are an employee. The boss and the employees are also equals! They should be treated as equals! If you are really not used to this kind of equal treatment, then you can go back to Ancheng, because I am not used to it. There is a submissive servant beside me.”
"Young mistress, don't be angry! I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, I...can't you sit down and eat?" Cheng Xiang, knowing that a pair of eyes were staring at him, reluctantly sat down with a sad face.
"That's pretty much it," Mu Yu said
She handed him the chopsticks and said in a slower voice, "Don't feel awkward. Didn't the three of us enjoy eating together before? Just pretend that Xiaofan is there too."
"Thanks."
"Don't be so polite, otherwise we won't be able to act as husband and wife in front of the Yue family later."
As soon as the word "husband and wife" was mentioned, Cheng Xiang immediately felt like a thorn in his back. He was so uneasy that he had to pretend to lower his head while eating for fear of being caught by her.
After dinner, it was already dark outside, and while Cheng Xiang was clearing the table, Mu Yu pretended to take a walk and came to the yard, and quietly looked at the yard next door. The door leading to the yard next door has been closed. The living room is very dark. It seems that the lights are not turned on. One or two voices of Mrs. Yue calling Lele can be vaguely heard, but she has never heard the voice of the young woman. This makes her Some are worried about Xie Xiaojing's condition.
Returning to the house silently, Cheng Xiang had already cleaned up the restaurant and was mopping the floor awkwardly. When he saw her coming in, he immediately discussed and said, "Shall we hire a part-time worker?"
He knew that doing housework was really difficult for him, but he would definitely not agree if he came forward, so Mu Yu did not object this time, but just added, "It's best to hire an hourly worker who can do both hygiene and cooking."
She doesn't know how to cook, and she doesn't know how long she will live here, and she doesn't want Cheng Xiang to follow her and eat dark cuisine every day.
"Okay, I'll look for it online right now." Cheng Xiang immediately put down the mop and went to get his phone.
Mu Yu smiled and then returned to the room.
After Cheng Xiang found the part-time worker, he quietly listened to the movements in Mu Yu's room, then returned to his room, locked the door and dialed Qin Jinhuan's phone, reporting the situation anxiously.
Qin Jinhuan heard clearly the previous conversation between Mu Yu and the Yue family's grandparents in the yard. The scene where the Yue family thought Cheng Xiang was Mu Yu's husband made him furious. As soon as he saw Cheng Xiang return to the house, he called Cheng Xiang's phone call scolded Cheng Xiang. Then he was ordered to keep a distance from Mu Yu in the future, otherwise he would die in Africa. As a result, Cheng Xiang did not dare to sit at the same table with Mu Yu when eating.
But he never expected that not eating at the same table with Mu Yu would arouse Mu Yu's extreme dissatisfaction. He didn't dare to expose his boss, so he had no choice but to obey Mu Yu's wishes.
God knows how painful it is for him to be caught in the middle at this time.
Sure enough, the way he and Mu Yu treated each other as guests at the dinner table made the boss jealous and he scolded him again. But the boss's final words, "Just listen to what she says, don't go against her will, and use your own discretion." He breathed a sigh of relief again.
For him, it doesn't matter if he gets scolded, as long as his boss doesn't tell him to die of old age in Africa.
Fortunately, the master bedroom had a bathroom with a bathroom, otherwise he would have been scolded even more. He was secretly glad.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Liu Xiaofan sent them the information of four girls in the small group. Afraid that Mu Yu was wearing pajamas, Cheng Xiang pretended that he had gone to bed and discussed in the group which girl to go to first tomorrow. He didn't know that it was actually early. Mu Yu, who was lying on the bed, had no intention of coming out to discuss with him.
Here, Qin Jinhuan, who had been sitting in front of the screen and watching Mu Yu, received a call from Rong Jian and asked him to meet somewhere at the train station.
When he came to the small restaurant Rong Jian said, Rong Jian was sitting in the corner holding a bowl and wolfing down the food in an inconspicuous manner. With a look of disgust on his face, Rong Jian swept away the entire table of food.
"This is my first meal today, I'm starving to death." Rong Jian put down the bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction, wiped his mouth, and got straight to the point, "You and your sister-in-law are not expected to continue like this. We have to find a way to get her to accept you again. "
Qin Jinhuan looked sad: "I really can't think of any good solution."
"It's not that you can't think of it, it's just that your sister-in-law is too scared to think about it." Rong Jian hit the nail on the head, "In this case, I will give you a good idea."
