"I suspect my husband isn't human at all."
In 1983, by the old槐樹 (Chinese Scholar Tree) at the village entrance, Jiang Hongguo finished saying this to the visiting police uncl...
Chapter 100 Chapter 100 The little one holds his father's face and kisses him...
Wen Qing wanted to chat with Wen Yongshan alone, and she also attributed the slap to Chen Qingzhi, saying in an even more impatient tone: "I want to tell my brother something you can't listen to, why don't you leave?"
Chen Qingzhi didn't understand why Wen Qing was so hostile to her. Yongshan helped her return the slap, and she felt better and went downstairs.
As soon as Chen Qingzhi left, Wen Qing's stubbornness faded away. She sat down on the ground dejectedly, feeling very tired: "Why do we have to have a mother like that? I'm so tired. So many people die every day in the world, why is she healthy and free from disasters? She has to torture us with a spirit that is more energetic than ours. Can we send her to a mental hospital? With our signatures, it should be possible, right?"
Wen Yongshan looked down at her coldly, and pulled open his collar, revealing a shocking scar: "I earned my freedom by myself, so don't come to me to complain. Do whatever you want to do yourself. I won't help you."
Wen Qing said pitifully: "Brother, please help me."
Wen Yongshan squatted down, expressionless: "You have been hiding behind me since you were young, and finally almost killed me. Now that I am alive, you still come to you to show your sympathy. It's useless, Wen Qing, you will have to face everything in this family by yourself in the future."
Wen Qing stopped pretending and said weakly, "I was wrong before, but you are my brother. Apart from you, I don't know who to hide behind."
Wen Yongshan remained indifferent: "Don't talk nonsense, just go away."
Wen Qing sat up at once and flattered him, "Wen Yongshan, can you lend me a place to stay for a while? I'll give you some information to exchange with. Mom said that Jiang Hongguo's mom is her twin sister. Our family has indeed had twins for several generations, but it's very suspicious. There is this relative, but they didn't contact each other before, and now they need help, so they come to pick a fight? Chunchun is sick, right? Our mom is sick, but not stupid. I think she has something on Jiang Hongguo."
Wen Yongshan said, "You also have delusions. If you really have evidence, why don't I bring it to you this time? I warn you once, Jiang Hongguo is not easy to mess with, and Gu Changzong has no morals and dares to do anything. You might as well steal the valuables at home and sell them, then go abroad and hide."
Wen Qing was annoyed: "Then why don't you go abroad?"
"I have unfinished business, so I can't leave."
"Me too." Wen Qing's expression finally became serious: "I still have people to look for. My babysitter when I was a child, my secret crush in high school, and my first love after graduation are all gone. I must find them and ask them if they are avoiding me."
Wen Yongshan said impatiently: "After that, go find an empty room downstairs to live in."
Wen Qing's worry turned into joy in an instant, and she climbed up: "Thank you, brother. I won't bother you with anything else from now on."
After Wen Qing went downstairs, Chen Qingzhi was still in the kitchen preparing fillings for the buns to be eaten tomorrow morning. Wen Qing rolled her eyes in disdain and prepared to go back to her room to sleep.
Chen Qingzhi hurriedly shouted, "Your brother asked you to stay? Do you want to prepare breakfast for you tomorrow?"
Wen Qing was really speechless. He had just slapped her not long ago, and even longer ago, he had given her a lot of trouble. Why bother?
On second thought, he laughed at himself, thinking that his situation at home was no different from Chen Qingzhi's, they were both trying to make a living in the cracks and making compromises.
But Wen Qing just looked down on Chen Qingzhi. Wen Qing earned his living with his own hands and feet, while Chen Qingzhi relied on his brother's protection. They were different.
Wen Qing teased her deliberately: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Chen Qingzhi doesn't like Wen Qing. She thinks she is moody, spoiled, and has a bad character. For the sake of her husband, she can only endure the grievance and wait for her to leave.
Seeing that she hadn't left, Chen Qingzhi came over and asked curiously, "How come your family is related to Jiang Hongguo's family? What is the important plan?"
Wen Qing really despised her. Both of these questions were very important, and she hadn't figured them out yet. How dare she ask them?
Wen Qing continued to pretend and take advantage of Chen Qingzhi. If she fell for it, she could only blame herself for being greedy and stupid.
Wen Qing leaned forward a little and said mysteriously, "You got the order wrong. Gu Changzong was in charge of a very important plan for children from kindergarten to elementary school, but how could I know the details of the plan? My mother wanted to send her aunt's daughter's sister-in-law's child to this plan. After checking, it turned out that it was the relative Jiang Hongguo's husband who pretended not to know before who was in charge, so he came to recognize his relatives."
Chen Qingzhi was almost dizzy after hearing this. She said, the Wen family has more daughters than boys, but the children of my aunt's daughter and her sister-in-law can't be considered relatives, right?
Then why can't it be Xiaoyu? Although there is no blood relationship, at least Xiaoyu's household registration is registered with the Wen family, right?
Chen Qingzhi felt unfair. This opportunity was given to outsiders but not to Xiaoyu. Wen Yongshan would never meddle in such trivial matters. Then she had to fight for Xiaoyu. No matter whether it succeeded or not, she had to try so as to have no regrets.
"But, by doing this, you have offended Jiang Hongguo."
Wen Qing sighed: "Yes, I told my mother the same thing, but she didn't listen. I told her that she was just a little girl, so I gave her some troubles and asked her to come to us to make peace. Then I would raise our request and she would agree."
Chen Qingzhi had previously agreed to marry Wen Yongshan, but was harmed by her mother-in-law. She was truly capable of doing such a thing, but it was doomed to fail.
But I can give it a try. After all, I am a classmate of Gu Changzong. I can ask Gu Changzong directly without going through Jiang Hongguo.
Wen Qing's plan worked, so she let Chen Qingzhi go over and scout the way first. Gu Changzong had already threatened her, so she would not be stupid enough to rush forward.
…
After Jiang Hongguo and Gu Changzong left the restaurant, they grilled a bunch of lamb skewers to take home for Diandian. They had agreed to pick her up in the evening, but they broke their promise. Diandian was reasonable and said they just needed to explain the reason and bring the delicious food back.
While eating, Hongguo realized that just as she worried, Chen Qingzhi had been paying attention to Gu Changzong the whole night and must have noticed something different.
"Chang Zong, did you notice that Chen Qingzhi was always looking at you during the meal? I'm sure everyone noticed it."
Gu Changzong didn't care: "Those men only laughed at Wen Yongshan and his wife for looking at other people's husbands the whole time."
He actually thought of this. Hong Guo was actually amused by this. She hit him lightly and said, "No, I'm worried that she will doubt your identity. It will be troublesome to use this to threaten you."
Gu Changzong was even less afraid: "If she really does this, I don't need to do anything, Old Wei will move her family far away, isn't that good?"
Before Zhang Yaoqin's death, Director Wei sent someone to watch Gu Changzong, which was actually to fill the loophole. Hong Guo hurriedly reminded him: "Just keep it to yourself, don't let anyone else know, it will bring disaster."
Gu Changzong's voice softened, and he pulled her slender waist closer to him, assuring her in a low voice: "A mistake will only happen once, and there won't be a next time."
Hongguo nodded, and when they arrived at the door of their house, the two of them stopped talking. Diandian was waiting for them at home, and as soon as she heard the door open, she ran out to answer it.
"Dad is back too."
Diandian was so happy that she rushed over and smelled the roasted lamb. She said considerately, "I know. Mom and Dad had something to do and couldn't pick me up. It's okay. This lamb kebab is still hot. You must have been thinking about me and ran back so quickly."
"Yes, Mom is thinking about you and keeps urging me to drive faster."
Gu Changzong found a small iron stove, lit a charcoal fire, put the roasted lamb on an iron plate, and then put it on the stove to keep the roasted lamb fragrant and hot, so that it would taste good.
Diandian couldn't wait any longer. After dividing the food with four pairs of chopsticks, she said, "Mom, eat quickly, or the meat won't taste good. Uncle Zheng said you took a picture of the ore you wanted. Are you happy?"
Hongguo picked up a piece of slightly burnt and half-fat and half-lean mutton and gave it to Xiaobutian: "I'm happy. Mom decided to give you half of the money earned from the new mine."
The little one was stunned, then ecstatic, not even bothering to eat the meat, he ran over and climbed into Jiang Hongguo's arms, kissing her: "Mom, you are the best mom, I love you."
Gu Changzong asked Lao Zheng: "Where is Yushan? Now that we are done with our work, why doesn't he come back for dinner?"
Old Zheng used clean long chopsticks to turn the meat over the charcoal fire to prevent it from being too burnt. He didn't even raise his head. "I was busy solving the case, but suddenly I started to feel compassion for the world. There is a suspect, but there is no evidence. He has been detained for 24 hours and has to be released. Yushan didn't even eat, but said he must find evidence. He was busy with the mine and went to investigate the case again. If you feel sorry for him, help him."
Gu Changzong did not feel guilty about it and was not interested: "If he wants to, let him do it. I will stay for two days tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and then go back."
Hongguo and Xiaobutian had almost finished eating, so she gave Diandian to Lao Zheng to take care of, and urged Gu Changzong to go back to the room to call Lao Wei: "You said, don't be late, he's asleep."
Gu Changzong glanced at the time on his watch. It was just past nine o'clock. "No, he's always worrying about everything. He can't go to bed before eleven o'clock."
Gu Changzong got up and went to the bathroom, ready to use the water: "Guoguo, take a shower first. I'll finish the barbecue with Diandian and then make a phone call."
Hongguo nodded. She was indeed a little tired from bidding and dealing with those coal bosses today. It would be very comfortable to take a hot bath.
Gu Changzong watched the bathroom door close, then turned to the little one who was eating meat silently and said, "Diandian, don't let that big fish out casually."
"What's the matter, Dad?"
Gu Changzong rubbed his thick black hair and said, "Because of the last ground fissure, we have to set up an energy monitoring station here. When your big fish comes out, the energy will fluctuate. At that time, you will have to leave your mother and go somewhere else."
The little one nodded his head several times: "I will remember it, Dad."
Gu Changzong went to the bathroom in the front yard, took a cold shower, changed into clean clothes, and waited for a while. Hongguo changed into pajamas and came out with her hair loose. She snuggled up to him, picked up the phone and gave it to him, smiling lazily: "Call quickly, I'll go to sleep after the supervision."
Gu Changzong pressed a few buttons, which made a few sounds, and soon Lao Wei's voice rang out from the other end: "Hongguo?"
Gu Changzong was speechless: "It's me."
Old Wei was surprised: "What trouble have you caused again? Aren't those warehouses enough to blow up? What else do you want to do?"
Hongguo covered her mouth, laughed silently, and pinched his waist lightly with her fingers.
Gu Changzong used his free hand to hold her down, preventing her from running away, and then said, "After coming back and seeing Guoguo, my heart calmed down and I figured it out. You were right about Zhang Yaoqin's matter."
Wei Liang was also smiling silently on the other end of the phone. It was unlikely that he figured it out on his own. Was it Hong Guo who enlightened him? This should be encouraged. He said with relief: "It's better to figure it out than to have others tell you. Is Hong Guo here?"
Gu Changzong answered decisively: "Not here."
Hong Guo was afraid that Director Wei had something important to say, so she quickly said, "Yes, what can I do for you?"
Wei Liangzheng looked at the time and it was getting late. Gu Changzong said Jiang Hongguo was not there and wanted her to go to bed early.
There was no need to beat around the bush when talking to Jiang Hongguo. Wei Liangzheng said, "I heard that your aunt is looking for you?"
Hong Guo said hurriedly, "I don't know. I haven't heard my father talk about it. Chang Zong and I analyzed it and felt that the other party was deliberately making things mysterious and deceiving people."
Wei Liangzheng didn't quite believe this either, and asked, "I think it's not a good idea to keep this matter hanging. Why don't you ask Changzong to go with you to check and see what the other party's purpose is?"
Hong Guo definitely wanted to find out, and since Director Wei had brought it up, she said, "If it's convenient, let's check. Is Chang Zong okay after being away for a few days?"
Wei Liangzheng smiled and said, "After the last round of unusual events, things have been pretty calm. I think that since an aunt suddenly appeared on your side, you need to figure it out as soon as possible. You guys go, it's okay."
Gu Changzong thought that Old Wei was overthinking, but he couldn't wait for such a good opportunity to be with Hong Guo: "Okay, then the vacation will be postponed until we can figure out the authenticity of Hong Guo's relatives."
Wei Liangzheng agreed: "Okay, let's set off as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Changzong hugged Hongguo with both hands. He saw the smile of liking him in her eyes. He turned off the light and said softly, "Guoguo, go to sleep if you are tired. Don't worry about me."
…
In the morning, Hongguo tried to get up early. Because he didn't pick up Diandian yesterday, he said he hoped his parents would drive him to school in the morning.
"I told the kids in kindergarten that I have a big car at home, and they all wanted to see it. Dad, please go and see it, or they will say I am a liar."
Gu Changzong found a few bags of candy and stuffed them into his schoolbag: "Then share some with them and say that your dad bought them for you."
Little Bit happily agreed, and Hongguo got in the car and went together to send Diandian off.
The cart had a high sight line, and Jiang Hongguo saw Chen Qingzhi from a distance.
Hong Guo frowned: "Why is she here? She doesn't know you can send a child, she should be here to talk to me."
Gu Changzong stopped the car right next to Chen Qingzhi's feet, which was very threatening. However, she was also stubborn and did not step back.
After getting off the car, Hong Guo handed Diandian to Gu Changzong and casually greeted Chen Qingzhi: "What a coincidence, are you here for a walk?"
Chen Qingzhi thought about her shameless intention of pretending to meet by chance, and swallowed her sarcasm: "No, I'm here to inspect the kindergarten. My Xiaoyu is not very happy in the kindergarten of the government agency. Your Diandian and Xu Zhixiao have transferred to this kindergarten one after another, so it should have some merits, so I came to inspect it."
Jiang Hongguo was unhappy and said coldly: "Oh, then you can investigate. It's just that your child is unhappy in the kindergarten, it may not be the kindergarten's fault."
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Hongguo smiled and said, "I just said that casually. You need to ask it yourself."
After hearing these words, Gu Changzong had an idea in mind, and said to Jiang Hongguo: "Guoguo, I'll go visit Diandian's kindergarten."
Jiang Hongguo nodded, and just as Gu Changzong turned around, Chen Qingzhi suddenly called him.
"Gu Changzong, from the time we had dinner last night until we met this morning, you pretended not to know me. After all, we are classmates. Why did you do that? I want to know the reason."
Hong Guo became nervous when asked this question. She suddenly asked so bluntly, who had provoked Chen Qingzhi? She had to find a reasonable reason, otherwise she would continue to pester her, which was too annoying.
Hong Guo angrily scolded, "I really gave you face, but you refused. Since you must ask, then I will tell you, I am jealous. I am jealous even when I see you. You had a crush on me in high school, and it has been so many years. Your husband is good, but you still miss him. Aren't you afraid that he will be jealous? Even if you are not afraid, I am jealous. I just don't want Xu Changzong to talk to you. He loves me so much, of course he will listen to me."
Chen Qingzhi was shocked by the scolding, but then she was actually proud: "Jiang Hongguo, are you jealous of me?"
Jiang Hongguo gave her a disdainful look and told her to experience it herself, then said to Gu Changzong: "Aren't we going to visit Diandian Kindergarten? Go ahead, I'll wait for you in the car."
Gu Changzong glared at Chen Qingzhi and spoke even more venomously: "You heard it, right? Even if you misunderstood everything before as a secret love, now that I have made it clear, you should stop indulging in fantasies. Isn't Wen Yongshan a good person? Why are you eating from your bowl and looking at what's in other people's pots?"
Hong Guo laughed at Gu Changzong's analogy and pushed him away: "Go in quickly."
Gu Changzong carried Diandian, who was as quiet as a quail, and strode into the kindergarten. This child had one good thing: he knew better than some adults when to speak and when not to speak.
After entering the garden, the little one regained his energy, tilted Gu Changzong's head, and pointed to the other side: "Dad, my class is not here."
"I know. Let's go find the headmaster." Gu Changzong instructed the child in his arms: "No matter when, if you see that child named Xiaoyu, don't make friends with her."
Little One was puzzled: "Why?"
Gu Changzong couldn't hide his annoyance: "Because dad is very stingy and doesn't like her mother, I hope you don't like her family either."
The little one scratched his fingers and cooed, "Oh, okay then."
Gu Changzong was discouraged. If it was Hong Guo, she would not teach her child in this way. He said, "Forget it. You are you. Do whatever you want. Don't be influenced by others."
The little guy became happy. He felt that he could judge by himself who to make friends with, and his mother believed in him.
The little one held his father's face and kissed him: "Dad, you are kind of cute."
Gu Changzong wiped his face and said, "Saliva, don't kiss me next time."
The little one snorted. He didn't want to be kissed yet. His mother was better. His mother didn't say so, but he still loved his father very much.
Gu Changzong put the little one down and said, "Go to the classroom. Dad has something to ask the headmaster?"
The little one is a curious baby: "Dad, just tell me."
Gu Changzong: "I donated some money to the kindergarten and asked the director not to accept the child of the aunt just mentioned. This has nothing to do with you, right? It's something I want to do myself."
The little one nodded quickly: "It's up to you, Dad. Good luck to you."
…
Jiang Hongguo argued with Chen Qingzhi for a few more sentences before she entered the kindergarten, so she should be able to get away from Gu Changzong.
Chen Qingzhi said that they are all mothers and that Hongguo should understand her feelings for her child. She was too self-righteous. Why should Hongguo understand her selfishness?
Her so-called good things were based on the disadvantages of Hongguo's family. Did you understand her? No way.
Not long after, Changzong came back and asked Hongguo for money: "Guoguo, I'll take out 5,000 yuan from my passbook later, okay?"
"Only five thousand? Is it enough?" Hong Guo didn't even ask him what he wanted the money for. There was no need to ask, because Changzong never spent money indiscriminately and did not have any vain hobbies that required money.
Gu Changzong had a good talk with the headmaster just now, and said with a smile: "I donated 5,000 yuan to the school, and the headmaster said that he would never agree to let Chen Qingzhi's child transfer here. I talked to Diandian about this, and he wished me all the best."
This is good, Hong Guo doesn't have to worry anymore: "Okay, let's go back and get the money now."
The two of them went home, got their passbooks, withdrew the money, and donated it to the kindergarten. A total of 10,000 yuan was donated. The environment of the kindergarten can be greatly improved, and their family can benefit from it. It was worth the money.
After donating the money and arranging the household affairs, Hongguo and Gu Changzong packed up and set off to the home of the aunt who claimed to be a relative to find out if she was a real aunt or a fake one.
Before she and Gu Changzong set off, they first sent Diandian to the kindergarten. Diandian was very smart and said with bright eyes, "Mom and Dad, don't worry about me. I have discovered Teacher Xiao He's secret. She is here to protect me."
Gu Changzong said with a straight face: "Stop showing off, she is here to monitor you."
The little one chuckled and said, "It's the same. If she doesn't find out about the secret, it means I'm protecting it."
Jiang Hongguo saw that it was almost time to enter the park, so he waved to the little one and said, "Go in quickly."
Watching the little one enter the garden, Hongguo got on the car and set off for his aunt's hometown.
I asked for the specific address and was told that it was the hometown of her aunt's Yao family, in Huizhou City. Going south, when you are almost at your destination, you will see many white walls and black tiles. The town is not big, and the location of the Yao family is in the town. It is easy to find out. Everyone in the town knows about it and it is very famous locally.
It's almost noon, and there must have been an argument in the past. I need to eat to have strength, so I'll eat something first.
Hong Guo looked at the food stalls on the roadside, rubbed her stomach, and said, "I feel like Auntie Yao won't treat us to a meal. Chang Zong, how about we have a bowl of dumplings before we go?"
"Okay, let's eat first." Anyway, the Yao family wouldn't run away. Gu Changzong parked the car on the side of the road. Hongguo said to the owner of the dumpling shop, "Boss, two bowls of dumplings, one big one and one small one."
The boss saw that they came by car, and there were only a few cars in the whole town. These two guests were amazing.
The boss smiled and counted the dumplings and threw them into the boiling pot: "Hurry up and sit down. The dumplings will have to wait."
Jiang Hongguo sat down. Gu Changzong took out two lunch boxes from the car, rinsed them in the boss's kitchen, handed them over and said, "Boss, use our lunch boxes."
"Are you so particular?" The boss said with a smile, "My bowl is very clean.
Gu Changzong said: "I am particular. I use my own tableware and eat more."
Jiang Hongguo felt warm in her heart and had a happy smile on her face. In fact, Gu Changzong was not particular, and Hongguo could be unpretentious outside. But as long as she went out with him, Changzong would think about every detail in his mind and take everything into consideration for her, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
The boss filled two lunch boxes with one large and one small dumpling and brought them over. It was already the beginning of summer and the weather was hot. The dumplings were too hot to eat, so Hong Guo stirred them with a spoon.
Gu Changzong picked up the dumpling and took a bite, half a bite, before he finished biting it. He looked up at Hongguo, then ate the remaining half before saying, "Guoguo, don't eat it."
Jiang Hongguo asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Is the filling bad and not fresh anymore?"
Gu Changzong shook his head: "It's poisonous."
Jiang Hongguo kicked him hard under the table. He ate something poisonous? Even if he thought he could detoxify, he couldn't be so careless.
Soon she found out that Gu Changzong didn't want to leave half a dumpling, so he was taken to the hospital for a physical examination.
Although it was his feet that kicked him, Hong Guo rubbed his hand and was at a loss: "What should we do now? Call the police? Will the boss say that it was our own tableware that had problems?"
Gu Changzong glanced in the direction of the boss. They were the only table of customers in the store. The boss was holding a teacup, drinking his health-preserving tea. He had finished the cup and was getting up to add water.
Just as he picked up the water bottle, the boss suddenly trembled, fell headfirst, and convulsed all over. Was he poisoned? There was poison in the dumplings and in his teacup. Was this revenge? Were Hong Guo and Gu Changzong the ones implicated?
Hongguo was determined to find out what was going on. She rushed to the boss and touched his watch first. She actually saw the boss making a deal with someone. The boss said that a customer who was driving would stop to eat dumplings today and asked him to cook special dumplings. The reward would be a ruby the size of a pigeon egg.
It was still aimed at Jiang Hongguo and Gu Changzong. However, eating dumplings was Hongguo's sudden idea. Who was so capable that could calculate that she could just stop at the dumpling stall? Was it her aunt?
If so, that's quite a magical skill.
Gu Changzong had already run to the store next door to call the police. The police arrived soon and took the two bowls of dumplings and the dumpling stuffing away for inspection. The boss was sent to the hospital. Jiang Hongguo and Gu Changzong told the situation truthfully, but they did not say the part about their own speculation.
"We didn't know either. The dumplings were ready, but they were too hot. Before they could cool down, the boss fell to the ground and convulsed. How could we dare to eat any more?"
Except for themselves, everyone thought that Jiang Hongguo and Gu Changzong were implicated in the revenge of their vengeful boss, and no one noticed that there was one dumpling missing from the big bowl.
After taking the statement, Hongguo was very worried because the boss had just come out of the emergency room. After all, it was rat poison.
"Chang Zong, are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Changzong was touched. Hongguo was not even surprised by his abnormality and completely accepted it. She really loved him. She loved him so much that she was not afraid of him. As long as Hongguo was not afraid of him, he would not be afraid in his heart.
Gu Changzong said quietly: "It's okay, I have good drug resistance, this is nothing to me."
Hongguo was really impressed by the boy's amazing physique. She wished the kid could inherit it.
The two were going to wait for the boss to wake up and ask about the situation. There was a policeman guarding outside the ward, also waiting to take a statement. A nurse wearing a mask came into the ward to clean, but no one paid attention to it. Hongguo even made room for the nurse to go in.
The incident happened suddenly. The caregiver suddenly took out a sharp knife hidden on his body, and before anyone could react, he stabbed the dumpling restaurant owner in the chest, then shouted slogans loudly.
He was wearing a mask and mumbling, and it was hard to hear clearly. He looked crazy and obsessed, as if he had been brainwashed.
The police were about to arrest him, but the nurse pushed them away, pulled out a knife, and slashed his throat.
Jiang Hongguo screamed in fear and was held in Gu Changzong's arms, who held her head to prevent her from looking at the bloody scene.
The whole process took only a dozen seconds, so fast that it was over before you could even react.
Hongguo was angry and hateful. Who could be so cruel? This was planned long ago. No matter whether it succeeded or not, the noodle shop owner had to be killed to silence him.
Now she couldn't leave anymore, she wanted to find out the identity of the caregiver.
The police investigated quickly and soon found out that the caregiver was the cousin of the noodle shop owner. There was a dispute over housing land between the two families in their hometown in the countryside. The cousin had no sons, only daughters. The noodle shop owner, relying on his wealth, many sons and good relationship with village cadres, occupied part of the cousin's housing land and arable land. This was a big conflict in the rural hometown. No one expected it to be so extreme that he would use rat poison, but the poison didn't work and he would come to the hospital to commit the crime.
After listening to the investigation, Jiang Hongguo would have believed it if she had not touched her boss's watch.
She whispered to Gu Changzong and explained: "Look at the slogans that cousin shouted just now. The person who brainwashed her must be the one who ordered it. It's a pity that the nurse has no jewelry on her body, so I can't touch it."
Gu Changzong said: "It may be related to the aunt of the Yao family. Let's go there before it gets dark."
…
On this side of the case, Jiang Hongguo and Gu Changzong said everything they needed to say. She said she wanted to go to Yao's aunt's house. The police knew the Yao family and showed them the way.
The Yao family is easy to recognize. The houses here are all one-story or two-story residences, with most of them being one-story. The two-story ones have continuous courtyards, which was considered a wealthy family in the past.
Aunt Yao’s house occupies a large area. Such a large ancestral home has not been taken away since 1966, which shows the influence of Aunt Yao in the local area.
I ate at the dumpling shop at noon, then went to the hospital and the police station. A series of accidents happened, and by the time I arrived at Aunt Yao's door, the sun was about to set.
The door was closed. Hongguo looked at Gu Changzong, who nodded. Then she knocked on the door hard.
Soon, footsteps were heard and the door opened. A very pretty woman opened the door. Her exact age was unknown, but she was probably in her forties. However, according to her age to be Jiang Hongguo's aunt, she must be over fifty.
Jiang Hongguo introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Jiang Hongguo, this is my husband Gu Changzong, we are looking for Yao Xiangling, she said she is my aunt."
The woman looked Jiang Hongguo up and down, disappointment in her eyes, then looked at Gu Changzong with no expression, opened the half-open door completely, and said, "I am Yao Xiangling, come in."
Jiang Hongguo and Gu Changzong looked at each other and thought in their hearts.
Hongguo was confused. This woman who claimed to be her aunt was so calm when she saw her and Gu Changzong suddenly coming to her house. Did the poison in the dumpling shop have anything to do with her?
