Chapter 56

The trio came out of the neighbor's house and stood at the gate of the Miao family. At this time, the gate was hung with white cloth.

The gate was wide open, and Sun Qin's room could be seen clearly.

The door of the room was open, and it was pitch black, like a huge man-eating hole, which was creepy just to look at.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but I always feel that Sun Qin’s room seems particularly gloomy and cold.

The case had not been solved yet, so even though Sun Qin's body was taken away, the house was not tidied up and was left as it was.

Wang Heizi said with certainty: "The murderer must be Zhou Qiang, let's go and arrest him now!"

"Have you forgotten the last time you almost lost your life?" Tang Qingqing said unhappily.

Wang Heizi touched his nose. He was really scared at that time and felt that his life was over. But now it was the most worthy thing to brag about.

Miao Shuixiu walked out of the east room, hunched over, and avoided looking at the person opposite her.

Suddenly, a few dark shadows appeared in the corners of her eyes, which scared her and made her scream.

"What's going on?" Aunt Luhua rushed out immediately after hearing the noise.

Old Mrs. Zhang and Old Man Miao were so anxious that they wanted to get up from the bed. Such a big thing happened at home that the two old people couldn't hold on and both collapsed.

Miao Shuixiu took a closer look and found that it was Tang Qingqing and the others. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Since she was discovered, Tang Qingqing walked in.

Aunt Lu Hua saw them and asked quickly:

"How is your uncle? Qingqing, your uncle is definitely not the murderer. He doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, how could he be a murderer? Please help Auntie to ask the police to release him as soon as possible."

Aunt Luhua's eyes were red. She had just returned from her parents' home yesterday and heard about such a big thing happening at home.

My husband was also taken away, and the whole family didn't know what to do.

Tang Qingqing walked forward, covered Aunt Lu Hua's hand, patted her hand and said calmly:

"Aunt Luhua, Accountant Miao was just taken away for questioning as a routine matter and will be back tomorrow at the latest."

"real?"

"When have I ever lied to anyone?"

When Aunt Lu Hua heard Tang Qingqing say this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was very clear about the weight of Tang Qingqing's words now, and she knew her abilities even better. If she said it was okay, then it would definitely be okay.

"We are really wronged. We really don't know why that person came for Sun Qin but didn't touch other people in the courtyard. Normally we have some conflicts, but who doesn't have some conflicts? It's impossible that he wanted to take her life for such a small matter."

"My uncle is definitely not that kind of person. I raised him and I know his character very well. He would never do such a thing even if he was angry, not to mention that he treats Sun Qin very well."

"That's not nice to say. We still have to live in this house. How could he do such a thing in his own home? He is so filial, isn't he afraid of scaring his parents? Several children in the family are hiding in the house now and dare not come out. They have nightmares at night when they see the house opposite."

If the police hadn't asked them to stay where they were, Aunt Luhua would have taken her children back to her parents' home to take shelter for a while.

It is really terrible to live here. I feel horrified when I think of Sun Qin's tragic death.

"Aunt Luhua, I came here to ask you a few questions."

"What? You tell me."

"Do you know Zhou Qiang?"

Aunt Luhua was stunned at first, and it took her a while to react.

"Oh, you mean Qiangzi? Of course I know him."

Aunt Lu Hua's expression suddenly changed, "Why are you asking about him all of a sudden?"

Tang Qingqing did not answer, and continued to ask: "Did you see him when you went back to your parents' house for the wedding banquet that day?"

"Yes, he was sitting next to your uncle. He got your uncle drunk."

Aunt Luhua was a little unhappy when she mentioned this. Mr. Miao was not good at drinking, but he was not good at drinking, so he seldom got drunk.

He had something to do the next day, so he was even more sensible.

As a result, Zhou Qiang kept persuading him to drink one cup after another, and threatened to scare him with all kinds of words if he didn't drink, so Accountant Miao drank too much.

Tang Qingqing and Zhai Hongyi looked at each other.

Zhai Hongyi: "Does he know that Sun Qin has a lot of money?"

Aunt Luhua's face changed, and she thought of something.

"My brother-in-law won a bonus for his achievements a while ago, and he sent it to Sun Qin along with his allowance. The bonus was not shared with the old lady, and she complained a lot. At that time, Zhou Qiang said that he would help the old lady teach Sun Qin a lesson in the future."

Aunt Luhua looked flustered. "The old lady was just saying it casually. Every mother-in-law would complain about her daughter-in-law. She was also very rude when she talked about me. Qiangzi wouldn't take it seriously, right?"

"When was the last time he came?"

Aunt Lu Hua thought for a moment and said, "It's been almost a month, right? Sometimes he comes very often, and sometimes he disappears for months."

"Does he know Tang Qingqing's abilities?"

"Of course, our commune wouldn't know Qingqing's abilities, not to mention that she came from our brigade. Their brigade is not far from ours, and Qingqing has also been to their brigade and solved a theft case, so she is very familiar with it."

Tang Qingqing is the pride of the Rongshan Brigade, and people in the brigade often mention Tang Qingqing outside.

Especially after Tang Qingqing came along, the number of thefts decreased significantly.

Thieves know there is such a capable person here, and they will be caught if they steal, so they just steal in a roundabout way.

This made everyone like the promotion even more, hoping to use Tang Qingqing to scare those with bad intentions.

After leaving Miao's house, the trio went directly to the captain's house and informed him of their latest findings.

Without saying a word, the captain called the militia to arrest Zhou Qiang immediately and take him to the town police station first.

"Qing girl, are you sure it's Zhou Qiang and not Miao Xiaohui?"

The team leader's hands were shaking. As the team leader, he didn't want to see the promising kid in the team go to that step.

"The murderer is not Miao Xiaohui, but Zhou Qiang is a major suspect."

The captain rubbed his hands, "Okay, your words are enough."

"Captain, I'll go with you."

"What are you going to do? I'll take him to the police station and let the police interrogate him."

"I'll be able to confirm if he is the one if I see it with my own eyes."

The captain heard this without hesitation and said, "Okay, let's go together."

Since Tang Qingqing went, Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi would naturally follow.

The captain led the militia along the way in high spirits and the militiamen also had happy looks on their faces.

They had heard before that Miao Xiaohui was a major suspect, and they were very upset, but Miao Xiaohui was a hero in their hearts!

If their wives were killed for such a trivial matter, they really wouldn't know how to describe their feelings. They would feel angry, annoyed, and regretful. In short, all kinds of emotions.

Now it's better, the murderer is not Miao Xiaohui, and I feel relieved all of a sudden.

Although they were very noisy along the way, when they arrived at the Paektu Mountain Brigade where Zhou Qiang was, they immediately restrained their aura and acted as if they were visiting.

The captain first went to find the captain of the brigade. The captain of the Baidu Mountain Brigade was named Ma. After learning about the situation, Captain Ma took them to Zhou Qiang's house without saying a word, but found nothing.

Captain Ma asked Zhou Qiang's wife: "Where is Zhou Qiang?"

Zhou Qiang's wife was small and thin. She looked at people with fear in her eyes. If someone spoke a little louder, she would tremble with fear.

"I, I don't know either."

"You don't even know where your man is?"

The neighbor next door had seen the huge team coming a long time ago, and was very curious, leaning over the wall to check the situation here.

When he heard this, he shouted, "Zhou Qiang didn't come back yesterday. He must have gone out somewhere again."

"Do you know where he went?"

The neighbor avoided his gaze, but Captain Ma knew at a glance that there was something fishy going on.

"Hurry up and tell him that Zhou Qiang is in big trouble. We must find him as soon as possible."

"If I say it, you won't dare say it was me who said it."

"What the hell are you talking about! Hurry up!"

The neighbor slid down the wall, walked around to Captain Ma, and whispered:

"Captain Ma, you can't sell me out, or I will be killed by this guy. You don't know, Zhou Qiang is a ruthless guy."

The captain frowned and said, "Tell me what's going on."

"He must be in the quarry now."

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening and many people had already gone to bed. Why go to the quarry at this time?

"When did he become so willing to do this?"

"How can that be possible? You know what I'm talking about." The neighbor winked at Captain Ma.

"You got a cramp in your eye?"

The neighbor slapped his thigh and said anxiously: "Oh, you know what I mean!"

Zhai Hongyi: "Where is the game going on?"

"You said that. I didn't say anything. It has nothing to do with me."

After saying this, the neighbor slipped back home and closed the gate to the yard.

Captain Ma was so angry that his face turned red. He thought he was doing a good job of management, but he didn't even know that a casino had opened on his territory.

And I was exposed in front of a large group of people. It was so embarrassing!

"Let's go, let's go there now! Damn it, if I catch them, I'll skin them alive!"

Wang Changfu, the captain of the Rongshan Brigade, was not in a hurry. He said, "You should call the militia of your brigade as well. If a gambling game really happens, they will run away faster than anyone else. We are not familiar with the environment and it is easy to lose people."

Captain Ma also reacted and quickly sent someone to gather the militia from the brigade.

Wang Changfu added: "We need to go into the house and search, or you can search while we watch."

This is not their territory, so you cannot enter the house without permission.

Captain Ma didn't want people from other groups to search his territory at will, so he led his own people in.

Zhou Qiang's wife had no intention of resisting and silently stood aside with the child.

Captain Ma searched for a long time but found nothing.

Tang Qingqing had been keeping an eye on Zhou Qiang's wife, trying to get some clues from her expression, and then she saw that Zhou Qiang's wife was staring at one place.

There were firewood and branches piled there. Tang Qingqing walked over as if possessed by a ghost and pushed the firewood aside, but found nothing.

Tang Qingqing scratched her head, was she overthinking?

"What's wrong?" Zhai Hongyi came over.

"I just saw Zhou Qiang's wife staring at this place, and I thought there was something here."

Zhai Hongyi took a sweep and used his feet to push away the dust and branches on the ground, revealing the stone slab underneath.

He moved the slab away and there was a hole underneath.

There was something wrapped in clothes in the cave. Zhai Hongyi took out the bag and opened it. Inside was a tape recorder, a watch, a flashlight, and a stack of money and tickets.

Zhai Hongyi roughly counted the money and found that there was more than 800 yuan.

When Tang Qingqing saw the dress, she was surprised and said, "This is Teacher Sun's dress. I've seen her wearing it before!"
