Chapter 113 Misunderstanding
The jeep drove all the way out of the city, but when it was about to leave the city, Qin Yi turned the steering wheel, drove around in many twists and turns, and finally stopped in front of a small restaurant.
Su Tong was puzzled, Qin Yi said:
"I haven't had lunch yet, so it won't take up too much time if we eat together. I found this restaurant the last time I came to handle a case. It's pretty good."
Su Tong looked at the watch and found that it was already long past lunch time.
The restaurant was indeed good. In addition to the food, the proprietress even placed a bowl of hot milk in front of Su Tong.
In this day and age, milk is a rare thing, especially fresh milk.
There was none in front of Qin Yi, and it seemed as if it was specially ordered for her.
“This milk…”
Seeing Su Tong looking at him, Qin Yi explained:
"It's goat milk. The boss lady's grandson had no milk when he was born, so she got a few dairy goats. She sells some of the milk that the child can't finish. We're pretty lucky today."
Su Tong was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his head and started eating silently, drinking up all the goat's milk.
Both of them were efficient and decisive, and the meal did not take long.
When they finished eating and were ready to leave, the proprietress came out with a military water bottle, handed it to Qin Yi with a smile and said, "Comrade, it's filled up and heated up as you said."
Qin Yi took it, thanked the proprietress, and handed it to Su Tong, "Take it with you on the road."
Su Tong felt warm in his heart, secretly praised his thoughtfulness, and reached out to take the kettle.
When she was about to get in the car, her eyes suddenly froze.
Although the roads in the county town are not wide, they are all black asphalt roads. However, there are two obvious white tire tracks on the road ahead, extending forward.
Su Tong walked forward a few steps, bent down and took a look. It was quicklime.
Qin Yi noticed Su Tong's strangeness, followed her gaze and said:
"The provincial chemical plant is not far ahead. This is quicklime that was scattered during the long transportation. Is there any problem?"
Su Tong shook his head, "It's just that seeing the quicklime reminded me of something."
Sure enough, the car didn't drive far before the two tire tracks turned a corner and extended to a big gate on the left side of the road. On the gate hung a big sign that read "Ezhou Chemical Plant".
Since there was nothing to do in the car, Su Tong told him about some of the things she had discovered in the village about Wu Tong becoming a "disaster star". After she finished telling him about the situation in Zhuzi's grandmother's vegetable garden, she said:
"I made a mistake before, thinking that quicklime was only found in quarries, but I forgot that chemical plants also have it. Moreover, here there is not only quicklime, but also pyrolyte. It seems that if I go back and check with the people in the village who are related to the chemical plant, I should be able to find some clues."
Just after saying this, Su Tong was stunned...
She didn't know who was related to the chemical plant, but she knew that someone had been using chemical raw materials.
Rosin and wood asphalt are both chemical raw materials. Zheng Liangping's family are all bamboo craftsmen. In order to increase the flexibility and extend the service life of bamboo products, a large amount of these raw materials will be used. I am afraid that they often deal with chemical plants.
Zheng Liangping?!
She thought of the dark, thin and taciturn young man, and suddenly thought of the footprint in the backyard, size 41, and a height of about 1.74 meters...
The features really match!
Is it him?
Qin Yi was silent for a while after listening to this. He was surprised that Su Tong could find the problem and quietly find so many clues.
If people living in the village form an inertial thinking about a problem for a long time, it is difficult for them to jump out and clearly see what is behind it. Just like "Wu Tong" has been regarded as a "disaster star" for so many years, everyone will only consider the problem from the point that she is a disaster star, and no one will think about why she is a disaster star?
But now she can keenly discover problems and quietly conduct investigations. She is sober and rational, which is extremely rare.
It's just a little puzzling that she has been carrying this reputation for so many years, why did she only realize now that there is a problem...
Seeing that Qin Yi didn't speak, Su Tong asked:
"Comrade Qin, do you think my perspective is wrong?"
Qin Yi came back to his senses and said slowly:
"No, your analysis makes sense. There must be someone behind these things. Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences. If your suspicion is true, you should also investigate the causes of death of the people you were engaged to..."
Su Tong was shocked, "You mean..."
Qin Yi nodded, "It's possible that it wasn't a normal death."
Su Tong had thought about this, but most of the things that happened because of her being the "disaster star" were trivial matters. Something like Aunt Wangcai breaking her leg was already considered serious, but it was far from the point of causing loss of life.
Therefore, she has always been more concerned about someone playing a prank on her. After all, the reputation of "disaster star" over the years has only alienated and disgusted people with her. Apart from the mental level, it has not caused her any physical harm.
But if human life was involved in the first place, what was the purpose of that person? Did he take such a big risk just to isolate her?
The carriage fell into silence.
After a moment, Qin Yi said, "This matter should be taken seriously. I will ask Director Jiang to investigate secretly. You should pay attention to your own safety and don't let the other party find out that you are paying attention to these things. After all, his target is you, and any action you take may be in his sight."
Su Tong nodded immediately.
Qin Yi's words reminded her.
Don't alert the enemy.
If the death of the two engaged people was not an accident, then the other party might be involved in a murder crime. It is no longer a personal grudge and cannot be viewed in an ordinary way.
To go to the neighboring province, one has to pass through the provincial capital. Qin Yi needs to go to the provincial bureau to get a business license. In order to save time, Su Tong waited in the car.
Unexpectedly, when Qin Yi came out, in addition to having a military coat in his hand, another person followed him out.
When Liu Shiwen heard that Su Tong was in the car, he also came out to say hello.
Su Tong asked about Dongdong's situation, and Liu Shiwen gave him a brief account.
Dongdong is basically getting better. He doesn't reject outsiders approaching him, but he doesn't like to talk to people other than his parents. He sometimes has nightmares when he sleeps at night. It seems that it will take some time for him to fully recover.
In addition, Liu Shiwen specifically reminded Su Tong that Meng Huzi, the leader of the robbery gang in which Wu Jiafu participated, had escaped and was still being pursued.
He asked Su Tong to pay attention to his own safety in the near future, fearing that those people would bear a grudge and wait for an opportunity to retaliate. After all, Wu Jiafu's arrest was related to Su Tong. Then he told Su Tong to just ask if he needed any help, and he would definitely help if he could.
Liu Shiwen gave this reminder out of concern for Su Tong. Su Tong understood his good intentions and she herself was not afraid of anything, but she then thought of Xing Dongyang.
If revenge is really wanted, she might not be the only target.
She thought for a moment and said to Liu Shiwen:
"Dad Dongdong, if you want to ask for help, I really have something to ask of you."
