Chapter 145 Tang Qiuxia Handles Evidence

Wang Manman and Pang Xiaoyue were whispering to each other, deliberately keeping Tang Qiuxia away from listening.

Tang Qiuxia knew she was being ostracized, and she could also see that Wang Manman might sacrifice her to "sacrifice the pawn to save the king".

But she knew even better that she had no evidence to prove that Wang Manman had instructed her to sabotage the tractor. If Cen Yan produced evidence, she would probably really have to go to jail.

The most urgent task is to hide or even destroy the evidence as soon as Wang Manman suggested!

Thinking of this, Tang Qiuxia took advantage of everyone rushing to harvest in the fields, braved the torrential rain and left the educated youth camp. With a pained expression, she threw the tin water bottle in her hand into the ravine, making sure no one could find it, before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Without any evidence, Cen Yan can no longer make baseless accusations.

"Hey, Nurse Cen is really amazing. She can drive a tractor, teach apprentices, and even repair tractors. If it weren't for Nurse Cen, how would our Xiangyang Brigade pay our grain tax and have enough to eat this year? We'd probably all have to go fishing in the sea. We've been eating those fish and shrimp since we were kids, and we're so tired of them."

"That's right, thanks to Nurse Cen, oh, and Commander Qi and the soldiers. If it weren't for them, the people of Dongming Island would have suffered a famine and gone hungry this year."

"But I'm puzzled. The tractor has been repaired, but have the captain and Nurse Cen stopped doing anything? The real culprit hasn't been found yet."

As soon as the question was asked, one of the women immediately looked around furtively, as if she were a thief.

"We've almost found the real culprit, but Cen Yan said that with the continuous torrential rain, the most important thing is to harvest the crops and clear the floodwaters. We shouldn't alert the culprit, so we've kept this matter hidden and haven't brought it up in public."

"The tractor is repaired and working properly. It can be returned to the commune as usual. There's nothing to worry about. It's not the main thing! Once the harvest is over and the floodwaters recede, that will be the best time to settle accounts."

"Huh? How did you know!" Upon hearing the woman's words, the other people who had been slacking off immediately lowered their voices.

The woman scoffed, "Have you forgotten who my seventh aunt's cousin is? She's Captain Xiang's wife! She told me herself that Nurse Cen explicitly said she'd settle scores later! Apparently, she already has crucial evidence!"

"impossible!"

Tang Qiuxia carefully hid the water bottle stained with diesel fuel and happily walked back, only to overhear several lazy gossipy women who hadn't gone to harvest the crops, whispering among themselves that Cen Yan had obtained crucial evidence.

He couldn't hold back any longer and jumped out to refute these gossipy women.

"Tang Zhiqing, what are you doing here?" Caught slacking off and gossiping, the women were clearly flustered.

Tang Qiuxia's gaze sharpened. "Why can't I be here? But why are you all here, spreading rumors and lying? How could Cen Yan possibly find any evidence!"

The key evidence is clearly her water bottle, which she herself threw into the ravine. Unless you go to the ravine to search for it, you will never find the evidence!

The woman only realized it belatedly.

"No, you're just an outsider sent-down youth, how dare you be so fierce to me? Do you have a death wish? Believe it or not, the brigade leader's wife, who is also my cousin, told me this herself. How could it be false?"

"Nurse Cen found a hair tie left behind by the murderer in the parking shed, next to the tractor. It was the latest model and cost a full 50 cents!"

"Once the rain stops, we'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and find out who in Xiangyang Brigade bought these hair ties. That will help us identify the culprit who destroyed collective assets!"
