Chapter 216

Su Qingci understood what Zhou Sui meant.

As long as they can prove that Liu Siqing is enforcing the law in a legitimate manner, Director Liu and Shi Zhichuan will not be able to use their power to oppress others.

At least they didn't dare to make things difficult for Liu Siqing openly.

But if Xie Liyun and Shi Guang distorted the facts, Liu Siqing would definitely not be able to escape.

Su Qingci was very confused. Zhou Sui should have discussed this issue with Liu Siqing. What was he worried about?

Su Qingci returned to the security point. Song Jingzhou was the only one there. The other three couldn't stand Song Jingzhou's coldness and went out for patrol.

"You're back? How's everything?"

Song Jingzhou didn't wait for Su Qingci to answer. He poured her some hot tea and handed her the teacup, while talking about his situation.

"Guoqing and Dachui asked the residents at the town entrance, and only two households said they saw Siqing chasing Shi Guang down the alley with a stone in his hand, intending to smash him to death!"

"If they hadn't stopped him, he would have been beaten to death on the spot."

"And there were only the two of them at the scene of the chase, no one else!"

"The Xie family is even more difficult to deal with."

"What about Xie Liyun's parents? Sigh..."

As soon as Su Qingci saw Song Jingzhou's expression, she knew that they were probably a pair of arrogant and unreasonable people.

After taking two sips of hot tea, Su Qingci put the teacup on the table.

"I did get some news."

"From the conversation between the young couple, I suspect that Shi Guang was killed by Liu Siqing because he raped and molested a lesbian."

"Later, I went to see Liu Siqing and told him this theory. Although he didn't admit it, his reaction showed that it was probably true."

"Also, Zhou Sui said that the people behind Shi Guang aren't the type to abuse their power for personal gain and bully others."

"As long as there's evidence to prove Liu Siqing is right, everything else will be easy!"

Song Jingzhou was silent for a moment, "If that's the case, Siqing must want to protect that girl!"

"Let's go to the Liantang Brigade!"

Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou both thought of a name at the same time, Liu Lanfang!

The two rode their bicycles towards the Liantang Brigade.

At Liu's house, Zhou Liang was squatting in the yard, using an awl to drill a hole in a piece of wood.

Liu Lanfang stood by and mixed wild vegetables with rice bran and water, making a clucking sound to attract two or three chickens at the door.

Seeing the two people getting off the bicycle, his eyes lit up, "Su Zhiqing, Cousin Song!"

Zhou Liang also stopped what he was doing and greeted them enthusiastically.

"Come, come, come in and sit down. Lan Fang, quickly make some tea!"

Song Jingzhou quickly waved his hand, "No trouble, no trouble, we are doing something, so we just came in to take a look when we passed by!"

Su Qingci jumped down from the back seat, took Liu Lanfang's hand and joked, "Siqing has been talking about you all the time!"

"He said that after you got married, there was suddenly one less person in the family, and he wasn't used to it."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "How is it, Sister Lan Fang, is Zhou Liang treating you well?"

Liu Lanfang lowered her head shyly, "It's fine."

"Is my home okay?"

"The captain and the others are all very nice. It's nearby anyway. If you have time, go back and take a walk with Zhou Liang."

"Whenever you come to town for the market, you can also come to our security point and sit down."

Liu Lanfang shook her head. "My mother-in-law is still the head of the family. She's the one who buys oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar if we need them."

"I don't know how to get involved in these things, but I don't have many opportunities to go to town."

"But my in-laws are very good to me. Ask Siqing to tell my parents that I'm doing fine and ask them not to worry about me. I'll go back to see them when I'm free!"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be talking, Su Qingci looked up and exchanged a glance with Song Jingzhou.

It shouldn’t be Liu Lanfang!

The two men came and left quickly. After saying hello and chatting casually, they left on the pretext of having official business.

Liu Lanfang stood at the door and watched them ride away on their bicycles. It seemed as if they were just passing by and came in to take a look. They didn't even have time to drink their tea before leaving in a hurry.

"It doesn't look like Lan Fang!"

Song Jingzhou kept silent with a tense face. After a while, he said, "Let's go to Zhongjiawan!"

"Zhongjiawan?"

"Yes, go find Zhong Linfang!"

"Isn't she Lan Fang's classmate? Why are you looking for her?"

"Siqing likes her!"

Zhongjiawan is not far from Taohua Town and is a small village close to the town.

Song Jingzhou and his companion entered the village. Three old women who were chatting with their babies at the entrance of the village looked at them curiously.

"A few aunts, are you taking care of the baby?"

"Please ask Auntie, which family is Zhong Linfang from?"

Several aunts immediately started gossiping, "Go straight in, turn at the fork in the road and go to the second house. There are flowers and plants at the door, so it's easy to find."

"Who is this girl to her? What do you want from her?"

"Oh, I'm her classmate's younger sister. She even went to drink with my sister at the beginning of the year. I happened to be passing by here, and my sister asked me to bring a few words to her!"

"Auntie, you guys are busy."

Su Qingci waved with a smile on her face, stopping several people from asking further questions.

The two pushed their bicycles inside and soon saw the house with flowers planted in front of the door that the women mentioned.

A small tiled house with a fence around the door and two mud banks 30 centimeters wide and two meters long built with stones on both sides. Various flowers and plants are planted on them. The forsythia is in full bloom. There are also two pots of cactus on the windowsill, with pink flowers hanging down from the windowsill, which is very elegant!

There are quite a few varieties of flowers and plants planted on the mud embankment, and you can tell at a glance that they are carefully cared for. Bamboo strips are inserted crosswise next to the flowers and plants to prevent them from being pecked by chickens and ducks.

Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou looked at each other. There was such a leisurely and elegant person in the countryside. They guessed that the owner was not an ignorant peasant woman.

A woman with gray hair and a coat went out with a basin to pour water.

He looked at Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou warily, "Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, grandma. Is this Zhong Linfang's house? I'm looking for Sister Linfang!"

Song Jingzhou looked at the defensive old man and slowed down his tone, "I'm Liu Lanfang's cousin from Gaotang Brigade. My cousin asked me to tell her a few words!"

Clang~

There was a noise in the house, and Lu Jingzhi looked a little nervous.

"Tuantuan, if you dare to make trouble again, I won't give you dinner tonight!"

"Tuantuan is my kitten, and he's the most mischievous."

"Just tell me if you have anything to say. My granddaughter went to her second uncle's house in the county the day before yesterday. She shouldn't be back for a few days."

"Tell me if you have anything to say. I'll tell her when she comes back!"

Song Jingzhou carefully observed Lu Jingzhi's expression. She looked calm and didn't seem to be lying.

"We just passed by Liantang Brigade, and my cousin asked me to ask about the day when Sister Linfang went out."

"You should know Liu Lanfang from the Gaotang Brigade. Sister Linfang went to drink her going-out drink not long ago!"

Lu Jingzhi relaxed instantly. "I know Lan Fang. She came to my house many times when she was studying in town. She and Lin Fang are best friends."

"Linfang's wedding day is scheduled for the sixth day of March. It's coming soon, but we're not planning a big celebration."

"We'll just have a meal together as a family, but we welcome Lan Fang to visit us."

Lu Jingzhi spoke politely, without making any mistakes, and did not even ask the two of them to come in and sit down.

Song Jingzhou and Su Qingci could only say goodbye first.

"If it's not her who brings honor to our family, then who could it be?"

The aunt standing at the entrance of the village chatting saw the two people coming out and hurriedly greeted them, "Hey, young lady, have you found the right door?"

"Is Linfang okay? When I ran into her this morning, she was in a panic, her face pale as a ghost. She said she had fallen and not only was her coat torn, but she was limping and her hands were scraped!"
