"Where to go?" Qin Jinhuan asked.
"Xie Xiaojing, Aunt Yue and Lele are now living in Yuejia Village, Wangqiu Town, the far west of Huacheng. You came from Yangcheng and are very close to there. "
"Going to find Xie Xiaojing?"
"Yes. I just learned a very important clue from an old neighbor. Yue Shuibao's eldest daughter also drowned less than two days after the death of the prostitute. Immediately after, Xie Xiaojing fell seriously ill, and she has been there ever since. She has been very ill. You remember that Aunt Yue cursed Qian Dacheng. I suspect these things are related. I am still investigating the girl's death and can't spare the time to go to Yuejia Village. , I’ll leave this matter to you.”
"Okay. Then..."
"Tell Captain Rong what we just speculated!" Mu Yu, who had been putting his ear to Qin Jinhuan's cell phone, was afraid that he would hang up the phone, so he hurriedly interrupted to remind him.
"Okay." Qin Jinhuan responded, and after reminding Huang Bo, who was driving in front, to drive to Yuejia Village, Wangqiu Town, Huacheng, he told Rong Jian the highlights of the discussion he had just had with Mu Yu.
"My sister-in-law's speculation is very close to my own. We are fully investigating the suicide of a prostitute who happened in Sun Meilan's rental house six years ago. Now that there are so many clues, we should be able to find out her identity soon. Not yet. I said, let’s go our separate ways and meet in the evening.”
"good."
Seeing Qin Jinhuan hang up the phone, Mu Yu immediately asked him: "Do you think Xie Xiaojing's family really knew about it?"
"She should be aware of it, but judging from her family's current behavior, she probably won't cooperate with the police."
"Gong Lilan took her daughter to hide because she was afraid of being retaliated by the girl's family. What on earth are Xie Xiaojing's family trying to escape by hiding? If Qian Daqing is his family's enemy, Qian Daqing is dead now and has completely treated his family. It no longer poses a threat. Could it be that Qian Daqing really did something dirty to Xie Xiaojing, so the Yue family refused to reveal anything more for the sake of face? "
"It's very possible." Qin Jinhuan agreed with her view, "Xie Xiaojing is not outstanding in appearance. Compared with the girls Qian Daqing knows, she is not younger. Logically speaking, Qian Daqing does not like her. Qian Daqing molested her. Killing her daughter quietly was to force her to keep it a secret."
"And the real cause of that girl's death is this secret! Maybe..."
"Let's not make any preconceptions now. We'll talk after we talk to Xie Xiaojing and talk to Rong Jian." Qin Jinhuan hugged her over, "You have a rest first, and think about what to ask Xie Xiaojing when you see her next time." Only then will she tell us the truth.”
"I am not tired."
"Even if you are not tired, your brain still needs a rest. Be good and be obedient."
Mu Yu wanted to argue, but suddenly thought that he might be tired, so he said no more, rested his head on his shoulder, and said softly, "Then let's rest together."
His body slid down slightly, lowering his shoulders to the most comfortable level for her to lean on, and then gently patted her shoulders like he was coaxing a child.
She closed her eyes and leaned close to him, wrapping one hand around his body, feeling his tenderness comfortably while thinking about how to speak to Jie Xiaojing for a while.
The road conditions on this section of the road were very good, and the sleeping position was really comfortable. She felt sleepy just thinking about it, and fell asleep soon after.
She didn't know how long she had been sleeping, but she suddenly felt the car stop. She suddenly opened her eyes and straightened up, and sure enough she found that the car had stopped. She thought she had arrived, but when she was about to open the car door, she was surprised to find the car parked in front of a small roadside shop.
"Aunt Yue and the others live here?"
"No, buy something and go see them." Qin Jinhuan pulled her back.
Through the car window, Mu Yu saw Huang Bo carrying a large plastic bag in one hand and two boxes of children's yogurt in the other. Only then did he understand his attentiveness. He immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised him, and then reminded: "Those of your subordinates are too Eye-catching
, we will enter the village in a moment and let them wait outside the village. Otherwise, if you enter the village in such a grand way, even if you are carrying gifts, you will not look like you are visiting friends. "
"Okay." Qin Jinhuan responded with a smile. He didn't tell her that he had already said this to Bian Zijun.
In order to facilitate Mu Yu to better contact the masses, his people did not use luxury cars after arriving in Huacheng. They used ordinary models with a price of more than ten or two hundred thousand, so they were not conspicuous in front of the masses. If the brothers don't get out of the car, he doesn't have to worry about showing up at Yue Shuibao's house later.
Soon the car came to a road intersection not far from Yuejia Village. The cars behind it stopped on one side of the intersection. Only Huang Bo's car drove to the entrance of the village. After asking the villagers about the whereabouts of Yue Shuibao's family, he drove directly to where the villagers said at the door of his house.
This is a very old two-story building that doesn’t even have a yard. You can see traces of weeds that have been cleaned recently on the ground at the entrance, but the cleaning was not thorough. Many of the weeds just had their stems and leaves cut off, and they were a big clump. The roots are firmly exposed on the ground. It is obvious that these weeds have been growing here for more than a day or two.
"According to Captain Rong, when Yue Shuibao was very young, his parents took him to settle in Huacheng. Although this house is very old, it doesn't look like it's thirty or forty years old. It shouldn't be his family's old house. I guess. It's an unused house belonging to a relative of the family." Mu Yu guessed to Qin Jinhuan gently as he got off the car, "When we asked the villagers about Aunt Yue's whereabouts, the villagers took one look at the gifts in our hands and immediately enthusiastically showed us the way. Aunt Yue's family returned to the village under the pretext of letting Xie Xiaojing recuperate from illness. They would rather live in a place with such a harsh environment than return to Huacheng. They also did not hesitate to let Lele miss her homework, just because they did not want to be asked about that past by the police. It shows how difficult it is for them to talk about it.”
When walking on the path that had not been cleared of weeds, she hesitated again, "Ah Huan, isn't it too cruel for us to be so persistent in exploring the past that others don't want to face?"
Qin Jinhuan did not hesitate: "Escape from many things is not the best solution. Often the more you avoid it, the more deeply its shadow will be engraved in your heart. Just like what you and Feng Rubing experienced, if you did not choose to face it calmly, it is very likely that You will never be able to get out of this shadow for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to live a normal life. If it is serious, you may never be happy for the rest of your life. The person involved may be extremely painful when faced with it at first, but once you let go, you will feel completely relaxed. You should know this experience best about true liberation.”
Mu Yu was touched by these words. Although he couldn't bear it, he didn't hesitate anymore and went straight into the Yue family's temporary home.
The door was open, but there was no one in the simple hall. Seeing that the door to the room was ajar, she walked over, knocked gently, and tried to call out: "Sister-in-law?"
"Who?" A woman's weak voice came from the room.
"Sister-in-law, is that you? I'm Mu Yu." The voice sounded a bit like Jie Xiaojing, but Mu Yu wasn't sure.
"You, why are you here?"
Sure enough, it was Xie Xiaojing.
Afraid of inconvenience, Mu Yu winked at Qin Jinhuan and motioned for him to wait outside while she gently pushed the door open and entered.
As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a pungent smell of Chinese medicine. At the same time, she saw Ji Xiaojing lying alone on a simple old-fashioned bed, covered with a thin blanket. Mu Yu was surprised and distressed by her pale and thin face. , hurriedly stepped forward to help Xie Xiaojing, who was struggling to sit up.
"Sister-in-law, why haven't we seen you for a few days? Have you lost so much weight?"
"What are you doing here?" Xie Xiaojing obviously didn't welcome her arrival. Even though she had difficulty moving, she still pushed her hand away.
Mu Yu retracted his hand, but did not walk away. Instead, he stood straight in front of her bed and looked at her with a face full of pity: "Sister-in-law, you are so sick, why don't you go back to the city to see a doctor? "
"I have a relapse of an old disease. I can just take some Chinese medicine and go to the countryside to recuperate. There is no need to go to the hospital in the city. Thank you for coming to see me, but I am very tired now and need to rest. I'm sorry."
"Sister-in-law!" Seeing that she was about to lie down again, Mu Yu turned around and closed the door, then quickly walked to the bed and asked straight to the point, "Sister-in-law, I really don't want to hide it. I came here to see you because I wanted to express my gratitude to you. Do you know about the so-called suicide of a prostitute that happened in the backstreets six years ago? This incident..."
She knew that beating around the bush was useless, so she simply didn't beat around the bush, and she was afraid that Xie Xiaojing wouldn't understand what she was talking about, so she first used the title "prostitute" when referring to the girl.
Jie Xiaojing interrupted her coldly: "I don't know. I've never heard of this at all."
"No! You've heard of it! Not only have you heard of it, you also know the real cause of this girl's death, right?" Mu Yu saw her twinkling eyes and deliberately deceived her.
"I don't know! I really don't know!" Because of her excitement, Xie Xiaojing coughed sharply.
"Sister-in-law!" Mu Yu couldn't bear it and quickly poured her a glass of water.
"I'm dizzy. I need to rest. You can go." Xie Xiaojing didn't pick up the water. She lightly covered her chest while issuing an eviction order.
"Sister-in-law! This matter has become a problem for you. You can't escape anymore! If you continue to escape, you will not only drag down your body, but also make your family suffer together with you!" At this time, Mu Yu I already had the answer in my heart, and although I couldn't bear it, I decided to take advantage of the situation and ask.
"You don't need to provoke me, I won't say anything. Just go." Xie Xiaojing lay down and turned her back to Mu Yu.
"The girl's death was caused by Qian Daqing. You accidentally saw this incident. He was afraid that you would call the police, so he also did something shameless to you. He threatened that if you dared to call the police, he would take this matter to the police." Son… "
"Stop talking!" Xie Xiaojing's body was trembling with her back to Mu Yu.
"He still didn't trust you, so he killed your daughter Huanhuan and threatened you with Lele's life... "
"Please stop talking!" Xie Xiaojing turned around, hunched over on the bed and begged.
This made Mu Yu feel distressed and heartbroken. He stepped forward to hug her, but he kept talking: "He has become your nightmare, no, it is your family's nightmare! For such a person, why do you want to conceal the crime for him? What about the facts? You should bravely stand up and expose his crimes and let him be punished as he deserves!"
"But he is already dead! He has received the punishment he deserves, and my exposure is not important at all! Please stop asking about these things, okay? Just let it pass. I'm begging you." Mu Yu's words touched Xiao Jing's heart, and she cried so hard that she was out of breath.
"I don't have to ask about Qian Daqing's harm to you, but I want to know the real cause of death of the hanging girl. Can you please tell me? This matter is really, really important to us."
Jie Xiaojing didn't respond, she just lay on the bed and cried bitterly. Her thin body seemed to be crumbling, which made Mu Yu feel guilty, but she just apologized silently in her heart, and did not stop questioning the girl's death.
At this time, apart from Gong Lilan, the Yue family is probably the only one who knows the truth about the girl's death. Although Gong Jiayi has repeatedly stated that the girl's death had nothing to do with her mother, given their mother-daughter relationship, this cannot be fully believed. In other words, if Gong Lilan was also involved in the girl's death, then Gong Lilan would definitely not tell the truth. So if you want to know the truth, you can only start with the Yue family, and Xie Xiaojing is obviously the core of the Yue family. If she doesn't tell, the rest of the Yue family will definitely not tell. And if we don’t understand the truth behind the girl’s death, we won’t be able to find out the murderer, and the crisis in the Qingtian Group will not be eliminated. Maybe there will be a new murder case soon, so whether in public or private, Mu Yu must Know the truth. So even though she couldn't bear it, she still forced herself to question Xie Xiaojing.
"Sister-in-law, can you please tell me the truth?" Xiaojing remained silent and just cried. Mu Yu, who couldn't help but couldn't bear it, almost cried.
"Let me tell you." The door was pushed open, and Mu Yu turned around and saw Aunt Yue walking in.
