Chapter 217 You're back!
Before Lei Yi opened his mouth, Wang Ziyan said, "Sister Gu, you asked a good question. Yun Yuan shouldn't know this. After all, her 'qualifications' are too shallow. But she deliberately sent herself in."
Gu Yuehuai was slightly surprised and frowned in confusion: "What do you mean by sending it in on purpose? Does she know there's something wrong here?"
Wang Ziyan nodded: "Her sister went to the countryside to work for the Liuzhi Brigade, and never returned. She sent word back that someone had fallen into the water and drowned. The Liuzhi Brigade sent a sum of money as compensation, and nothing happened afterwards."
"Her family is complex and they favor boys over girls. Yun Yuan and her sister depended on each other for survival when she was young. Her sister died inexplicably, so she wanted to investigate. However, before she could sign up to go to the countryside, she was knocked unconscious and taken away by the kidnapper."
"She was not sold to Liuzhi Brigade at that time, but was sold to another place."
"After that, I managed to escape, but I decided to give up and not go back to the city. I ended up at Liuzhi Brigade and volunteered to stay there. I just said I was there to escape famine, and then I just randomly chose a man to marry."
"She wasn't sold to the Liuzhi Brigade, so naturally the people here don't have that much suspicion towards her."
"Moreover, Yun Yuan is very resourceful. The family she married into is kind and treats her well. She investigated everything here in just two months. However, she has not found any strong evidence."
"She had thought about asking her husband to testify with her, but she was alone and weak, and she was afraid that if she spoke out, it would arouse the villagers' vigilance, so she remained silent until we came to the Liuzhi Brigade. She seemed to see hope and always waited on the mountain. That's how we learned the inside story of the Liuzhi Brigade."
Wang Ziyan told all about Yun Yuan in one breath, with a hint of regret in her tone.
Yun Yuan's life is completely ruined. The only thing she wants to do now is to expose the dirty deeds of the Liuzhi Brigade.
Gu Yuehuai nodded: "I see, then Yun Yuan can be considered a strong witness."
Lei Yi nodded and said, "Well, I just don't know where the bodies of those who were killed by Li Weidong are buried. They all died violent deaths. Maybe we can find evidence from their remains."
Yan Shaoyu opened his thin lips slightly and uttered a word lightly: "Difficult."
Gu Yuehuai also remained silent. Today, forensic technology was backward, and it was not easy to detect useful information from corpses that had almost turned into bones. It would also cost a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and the commune might not be willing to do so.
After all, the primary food shortage problem now lies on the commune leaders, so how could they spend more resources to investigate these things? Unless they find physical evidence or the women sold to Liuzhi Brigade are willing to testify together.
Of course, this is just to make Li Weidong fall faster, but as long as Yun Yuan is willing to stand up, the commune must send people to investigate. The fear is that someone in the commune is indeed in cahoots with Li Weidong, and after a hasty investigation, they give a false result.
Gu Yuehuai pondered for a moment and said, "Rest first, we'll leave here tomorrow morning."
There is no point in thinking too much now. Li Weidong has been able to stay in this valley safe and sound for so many years. He must have his own abilities. It is not so easy to bring him down. This matter still needs long-term consideration.
The first priority now is to take Yan Shaoyang away for treatment.
As the brigade secretary, Li Weidong not only controls the buying and selling of women to manipulate ordinary members of the team as Lei Yi and Wang Ziyan said, he also has the rights to record work points, promotion to higher education, military service, and recruitment.
Power is a breeding ground for corruption. Liuzhi Brigade is remote and has lost the supervision of the masses, so it has become unscrupulous.
Lei Yi and Wang Ziyan nodded, knowing that it would be difficult to resolve Li Weidong's issue in a hurry.
Soon, the room fell into silence.
Yan Shaoyu didn't sleep. He leaned against the window, his body straight and slender, his handsome eyes and eyebrows full of coolness. He turned around to glance at the people who were already drowsy and fast asleep, opened the door, and left the educated youth point quietly.
As soon as he left, Gu Yuehuai opened her eyes, and her beautiful cat-like eyes were full of clarity.
She pursed her red lips, glanced sideways at Yan Shaoli who was still frowning in his sleep, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, then quietly got up from the quilt, put on her coat, and left the educated youth point.
It was pitch black outside and Yan Shaoyu had disappeared.
Gu Yuehuai was not in a hurry. She turned into the corner and entered the Xumi Space when there was no one around. Since she had been staying with Yan Shaoyu these days, she could only find time to go in. The crops inside were ripe and the air was filled with the fragrance of grain.
She drew a bucket of space well water, took it out directly, and placed it in front of the house for use.
The water from the space well has a healing effect. Giving Yan Shaoyang more water will be good for his injuries.
After doing all this, she did not go to look for Yan Shaoyu, but sat on the doorstep waiting for him to come back.
Time passed, and after about an hour, the air was filled with mist.
Gu Yuehuai sneezed, tightened his collar, frowned slightly, and thought to himself, why hasn't he come back yet? Could it be that he killed Li Weidong?
She knew Yan Shaoyu and naturally knew that he would not be able to swallow this humiliation.
Shao Yang was seriously injured and Shao Li was nearly killed. All these accounts should be put on Li Weidong. They can't do anything to him for the time being. Besides, they are leaving tomorrow, so Yan Shaoyu will definitely vent his anger.
As for whether he would kill Li Weidong directly, she had no idea. If he really wanted to kill him, could he bring the body into the Xumi space and let the fields consume it as nutrition? This would definitely be the safest way.
Gu Yuehuai pondered over this possibility, then stood up and prepared to go find Yan Shaoyu.
She had just stood up when she saw someone walking out of the night.
Yan Shaoyu was only wearing a black sweater with the collar slightly open, revealing his lean chest. The air was misty and the cold wind was howling, but he didn't seem to feel cold at all and let the cold wind pour into his collar.
Gu Yuehuai looked at the familiar tall figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
She trotted over to greet him, curved her eyebrows and said, "You're back!"
Yan Shaoyu was stunned, as if he didn't expect that she was not asleep and was waiting for him here.
"Are you not hurt?" Gu Yuehuai looked Yan Shaoyu up and down. The moment he got close to him, he smelled a strong smell of blood and couldn't help but frown.
Li Weidong also has a gun in his hand, so if he wants to fight back, he is not completely defenseless.
Yan Shaoyu pursed his lips and looked at her, his peach blossom eyes were dark and bright. After a while, he reached out and held her hand. His cold fingers had almost no temperature. He said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Have you been waiting here since I left?"
