Chapter 99 Who did it?

After watching Zhang's mother and the other two go upstairs, he turned his head to look at the frustrated and unwilling Wang Chunhua, snorted disdainfully and asked the two policemen: "Comrade police, do you want me to go to the police station with you?"

The two policemen looked at each other, and one of them said to Aunt Chen, "Director Chen, this is it. According to our procedure, the first step is civil mediation. What do you think that means? Do you want to reconcile?"

While they were talking, Zhang Wanwan's family had already gone upstairs and their voices gradually faded away.

Those who stayed behind were either watching the fun or talking about Zhang Wanwan's family, saying that their family had become very successful. Of course, those were all hearsay. What really made them jealous was that Zhang Baiyan was admitted to a key university in Beijing. Old people like them valued education the most. In their opinion, whether the family could turn things around depended on whether their children worked hard and could get into a good university. Now that the Zhang family had a Zhang Baiyan, it was enough for them to talk about it for a while.

When Zhang's mother was reaching for the key to open the door, Zhang Wanwan could still hear her humming a little tune. She suddenly realized and asked, "Mom, you brought me and my brother out so early just to show off in front of these neighbors, right?"

Zhang's mother blushed, but quickly regained her composure, "What nonsense! I'm busy!" After saying that, she inserted the key in her hand into the hole. Only then did Zhang's mother realize that their door lock was broken.

The three of them changed their expressions and pushed the door open.

"Ah" a scream broke through the sky, and all the people downstairs who were still making a lot of noise looked up at the same time.

Grandma Huang, who was sitting under the shade of a tree, stood up and said, "Hey! It seems to be Meilan's voice. Did something happen?"

Everyone was staring upstairs. After a while, Zhang Wanwan suddenly rushed down, panting and looking panicked. "Mr. Policeman, I want to call the police!"

One of the police officers asked seriously, "What happened again?"

Zhang Wanwan pointed upstairs and didn't know how to explain for a moment. She said anxiously, "Just come with me upstairs and you'll know."

In the end, the police handed Wang Chunhua over to Aunt Chen and the others to watch over. After all, it was just a trivial matter, and they didn't think Wang Chunhua would run away. The two of them followed Zhang Wanwan upstairs, and seeing that the residents also wanted to go up to watch the fun, the police immediately stopped them.

"What happened? Did you lose something?" The policeman who had just asked Zhang Wanwan asked as they walked.

Zhang Wanwan's face turned pale and she nodded, "Yes, something was lost, but the situation is more serious."

When the three of them pushed the door open, Zhang's mother and Zhang Baiyan were leaning against the door. They didn't even dare to enter the house, and their faces looked a little pale.

The two policemen looked inside cautiously and found the light switch next to the door, but there was no response when they pressed it.

Zhang Baiyan said with a pale face: "The main switch is closed, we need to open it."

Zhang Baiyan turned on the main switch and the lights in the house came on. It was daytime now, and although the light inside was dim, one could still see the mess in the house when the lights were turned on. All the cabinets had been turned over, and there were a bunch of wine bottles scattered on the floor, as well as the thing that really scared Zhang Wanwan - a syringe with a needle.

The two policemen were not inexperienced policemen. When they saw those things, they immediately understood what had happened. They looked at Zhang's mother seriously and asked, "How long has no one lived here?"

Zhang's mother replied tremblingly, "Almost a year."

"You haven't been here for a year?" The police officer stared at Zhang's mother with scrutiny.

Zhang's mother was about to collapse. She covered her face and sobbed, "No, no. The child's father and I are busy with business on weekdays. We can't even take care of the child's three meals a day, so how can we have time to come here? My two children, the eldest just finished the college entrance examination, and he lived in the school before. He only went back one or two days during the holidays. Not to mention my daughter. We moved out of here because we were afraid that my daughter would be bullied by Xu Zhiqiang who lives next door. If I hadn't asked her to come here today, she wouldn't have been able to walk here! If you don't believe me, you can ask the residents of this community. They are downstairs every day. They know best whether we are back or not!"

Zhang Wanwan asked with a pale face: "Mr. Policeman, can you find out who did it?"

The two policemen looked at each other and did not directly answer Zhang Wanwan's question. Instead, they called the chief of the police station. Soon several policemen came to take over. They put all the syringes on the ground into transparent sealed bags and checked the house inside and out. They found a bag of drugs under a pile of debris in the corner, but nothing else. After making sure that there was nothing suspicious, they let Zhang's mother go in to count the lost items.

In the past, the Zhang family was poor, and they didn't take much with them when they moved, just their ID cards, bank cards, and daily necessities. So even though the house was turned into a mess, no valuables were lost. The only thing that made Zhang's mother extremely angry was that her dowry pendulum clock was broken. It was obviously a deliberate destruction, which even the police could see.

When the group left the old house, the door was also sealed.

Zhang's mother was still crying, and Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Baiyan were protecting her on both sides.

When Aunt Chen and others saw this, they quickly surrounded Zhang's mother and asked her questions, but Zhang's mother kept shaking her head and refused to say anything. The three of them went to the police station to take a statement and do a urine test, and even Zhang's father went there.

In the afternoon, the police station notified the family to go there for a blood test. Zhang Wanwan roughly knew what they were going to do, so she persuaded Zhang's mother, and only then did Zhang's mother not resist going to the police station anymore.

After this incident, the four members of the Zhang family felt as if there was a dark cloud hanging over their heads, and there was less laughter in the house.

The blood test results came out very quickly. After DNA comparison, it was confirmed that the four members of the Zhang family had nothing to do with those discarded syringes. The results of their urine tests were also negative. Zhang's father and mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were extremely angry. No one would be able to remain calm if something like this happened in their family.

After the police station ruled out the four members of the Zhang family as suspects, they called them over for questioning. This time, they wanted to collect more useful information from Zhang Wanwan and the others.

Zhang Wanwan and the others naturally cooperated actively. The people who knew about the Zhang family's situation must be people nearby. And the most likely people who knew about the Zhang family's situation and did those things in the Zhang family without being discovered were people living on their staircase, especially those who lived upstairs from Zhang Wanwan's house, so it would be difficult for them to be noticed when they came in and out.

When the police finished their speculation, Zhang Wanwan immediately thought of Wang Chunhua's family. She became even more angry and listed all her suspects.

Two days later, Zhang's father received a call from the police. Zhang Wanwan watched with her own eyes as Zhang's father's face turned from red to black.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang's father was furious. "That bastard Xu Zhiqiang broke into our house, turned it upside down, and took drugs in our house. Now the police have arrested him and extracted his DNA for comparison. The evidence is irrefutable. I'm going to the police station now."

Zhang Baiyan said coldly: "Dad, I'll go with you."
