Chapter 161 Don’t accuse others

After seeing this, Qi Shuangshuang couldn't help but roll her eyes at Fu Jiani.

When Si Nanyu saw this, he just smiled and inexplicably felt that Qi Shuangshuang was somewhat cute.

Lu Jiansen held his little girl in his arms the entire time, steadied her body, shielded her from the wind, and listened quietly to her conversation with the uncle.

When the uncle found out that they were going to Shangjiling to collect herbs, he told him a lot of local legends and news.

For example, someone picked ginseng in the mountains, someone killed a wild boar, and someone somewhere was bitten by a wild beast.

The uncle also told them which season is the best to visit Jiling and which location has the most of what. He then started talking about many other topics based on the game and herbs on the mountain.

Gu Xiaoxi listened patiently throughout the whole process.

The uncle was very talkative, and sometimes Lu Jiansen and Si Nanyu would also say a few words, so the atmosphere in the carriage was very good and not stuffy at all.

What surprised Gu Xiaoxi the most was that the uncle was a great man. He was familiar with every place and road in Daji City and was an expert in everything.

Knowing that Gu Xiaoxi and his friends wanted to get back to the city as soon as possible, he took many shortcuts and sent them to the city around 11 o'clock in the evening.

You know, when they came here by car before, they set out in the morning and arrived in Jiling in the evening.

When getting off the bus, Gu Xiaoxi directly gave the uncle five yuan.

The uncle wanted to give her the change, but Gu Xiaoxi smiled and waved her hand, "You deserve it. If I have the chance to come here again next time, I will definitely ride in your carriage again."

The uncle laughed, "You are a straightforward girl. Next time you come, come to our Beiling Village and have a seat. My last name is Huang. Just say Huang and everyone will know me. But you really gave too much money. Otherwise, I will charge you three yuan!"

As he said this, the uncle insisted on giving Gu Xiaoxi two yuan.

Gu Xiaoxi took the money, then took out a small cloth bag from his bag and filled it with ten pheasant eggs for him.

"Aren't you going to your girlfriend's house? Here are some pheasant eggs we found in the mountains. They are not worth much, but I'm giving them to you to try. If I have the chance to come next time, I will definitely visit you."

This time Uncle Huang did not refuse and agreed with a smile.

However, he turned around and gave Gu Xiaoxi a big bag of corn kernels, then waved his whip and rode away.

Qi Shuangshuang smiled and took Gu Xiaoxi's arm, saying curiously: "Why is our Xiaoxi so nice!"

Just as Gu Xiaoxi was about to speak, Fu Jiani suddenly sneered, "Pheasant eggs are not much more valuable than corn kernels, otherwise how could that person walk so fast? I don't know what you are thinking."

Qi Shuangshuang's face immediately darkened, and she said angrily, "Are you sick? You can't stand seeing others doing well, right?"

"You are sick!" Fu Jiani shouted directly at Qi Shuangshuang.

Gu Xiaoxi patted the excited Qi Shuangshuang and said, "She is indeed sick. She has a fever and is confused. The guesthouse is just in front. Let's go and get accommodation."

Then she turned to look at Zhong Jue and said, "Who will pay for the ride? It's 30 cents per person, and 7 cents per person for luggage. I'll pay for the extra money."

Originally, if Fu Jiani and Zhong Jue were not there, she would not have cared about this little money, but since Zhang Bingyi was with them, she was not willing to spend a penny more for them.

Zhong Jue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fu Jiani.

"Jiani, give me the money."

Fu Jiani reached into her pocket reluctantly, but the next moment, her expression changed.

Her heart sank, she dropped the bag in her hand and started searching quickly.

Two minutes later, she burst into tears, "My money, my money is gone!"

The money they make from selling minks and wild boars!

Zhong Jue was also stunned when he heard this.

He looked at Fu Jiani in disbelief, "Gone? All of them?"

Fu Jiani cried, "Everything is gone, even the handkerchief I used to hold my money is gone."

She bent down and rummaged through her luggage for a while, then immediately stepped forward and grabbed Qi Shuangshuang.

"Did you take my money?"

Qi Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment, then shook off her hand. "Are you really sick? Who took your money? Don't make false accusations."

Fu Jiani glared at her angrily, "Who else could it be if not you? My money has been kept safe. I checked yesterday at noon and it was still there."

Having said this, she suddenly thought of something and looked at Gu Xiaoxi again.

"Have you seen my money?"

Gu Xiaoxi frowned, "Where did I see your money? I don't know where you keep your money."

Fu Jiani said, "You just gave that uncle more money. Who is so stupid as to give more money than he deserves? Unless it's not your own money, you don't feel bad at all."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned pale.

Lu Jiansen pulled his little girl to his side and looked at Fu Jiani with a warning look, "You will be held responsible if you make irresponsible statements without evidence. If you insist on thinking this, we can only ask the police to help you investigate."

"Just report it to the police." Fu Jiani was not afraid at all.

Because she really had no money left.

Besides, she doesn't care about anything now, she just wants to get the money back.

That’s several hundred dollars!

In addition to her own money, there was also the money that Zhong Jue asked her to keep, as well as the money from selling the wild boar.

It can be said that since the money could not be recovered, they had no money to take the bus.

"Then you go and report to the police! I'll be waiting at the guesthouse." Gu Xiaoxi took Qi Shuangshuang and left.

She does whatever she feels comfortable with now.

Zhong Jue had a gloomy face the whole time.

Zhang Bingyi looked like he had a headache.

He didn't believe that Gu Xiaoxi took the money because there was no need to do so.

Gu Xiaoxi is obviously a wealthy person. She has been spoiled since she was a child, so her family conditions must not be bad.

Moreover, Lu Jiansen was a regimental-level cadre and received a very high monthly allowance.

Gu Xiaoxi entered the guesthouse, checked into three rooms, and no longer cared about Zhang Bingyi, Fu Jiani and the others.

Zhang Bingyi had some money, so he helped to book two rooms.

After entering the room, he originally wanted to advise Fu Jiani to think carefully and look for it carefully, but Fu Jiani insisted on calling the police.

Finally, the three of them searched everything and confirmed that the money was lost. Then Zhong Jue and Fu Jiani reported it to the police overnight.

Gu Xiaoxi returned to her room, took a shower, drank a cup of milk powder, and went to sleep.

After taking a bath, Lu Jiansen kissed the little girl who had fallen asleep, and then went to talk to Si Nanyu.

…

The next day.

Gu Xiaoxi was awakened by Lu Jiansen's kiss.

"Wife, wake up!"

Gu Xiaoxi rubbed his eyes and asked after a long pause, "What time is it?"

"It's seven o'clock. Zhong Jue and his friends have called the police. They've arrived and want to question us."

Gu Xiaoxi reacted immediately. He had encountered a bad problem yesterday that he hadn't solved yet!

She sat up immediately, dressed and washed quickly.

In the next room, three police officers were already questioning Qi Shuangshuang and Si Nanyu.

When Lu Jiansen and his friends' door opened, three police officers stood up and walked over.

When they saw Gu Xiaoxi, the three police officers immediately explained their purpose.

"Comrade Fu Jiani suspects that you stole her money. Do you have anything to say?"
