Chapter 89
Tang Qingqing was awakened and opened her eyes on the bed.
The window of Tang Qingqing's room was just above the main door, so she could clearly hear what was happening downstairs.
When Su Rong heard the words of the person knocking on the door, her legs went limp with fear. She quickly opened the door:
"What, what happened? What happened to Zhenzhen?"
"Aunt Su, please go to the hospital quickly, Zhenzhen was beaten!"
Su Rong felt empty inside and would have collapsed if she hadn't held onto the door.
"You're hurt?! How badly are you hurt?! Who hurt you?!"
Su Rong hurriedly turned around and went back to the house to get the key, her voice trembling.
"Aunt Su, you should go and check it out yourself. Zhenzhen is in the hospital now."
Su Rong hurriedly left with that man, and the downstairs soon returned to silence.
Tang Qingqing was wondering what Tang Zhenzhen was doing. Not only did she not come back so late, but she was also injured?
Although the person knocking on the door looked nervous, Tang Qingqing felt that it should not be a big deal.
She didn't take it too seriously and turned over and fell asleep.
The next day, Tang Qingqing went for morning exercise. When she went downstairs, she found that the doors of Su Rong and Tang Jianguo's rooms were open and there was no one inside.
Tang Qingqing couldn't help but frown. Is it so serious?
She went for morning exercise as usual. The old lady saw her and quickly pulled her over.
"Qingqing, what happened yesterday?"
Tang Qingqing guessed that she was talking about Tang Zhenzhen, "Grandma, what are you talking about?"
"Oh, you don't know yet?"
The old lady clapped her hands suddenly, and other old men and women around her also gathered around.
Tang Qingqing shook her head. "When I woke up today, no one was home. I didn't know what happened."
"Something happened to your Zhenzhen!"
The old lady said this while observing Tang Qingqing's expression.
"Really? I'm not sure."
Tang Qingqing's expression was very calm. Although she didn't deal with Tang Zhenzhen, she just ignored her and never showed any emotional expressions or words in front of others.
The old lady was probably too eager to share gossip and was not discouraged by her coldness. She continued to share what she knew.
"Last night, she took several people from the factory out, saying that they had found a thief who stole our factory's money, so they went to stake out the case. Unexpectedly, the police were also there, and I don't know how, but I ran into them."
When Tang Qingqing heard this, she was shocked.
"How did she find out the real murderer?"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, the two groups bumped into each other, and the police were in plain clothes. They all thought the other party was an accomplice of the criminal. Anyway, it was quite chaotic at the time, and I don't know how they started fighting. As a result, I don't know how, they accidentally injured Tang Zhenzhen who was nearby. Don't you think this is a coincidence?"
"I heard that someone wanted to bully Tang Zhenzhen, and this is what happened?"
"It's nothing, it was just an accident."
Tang Qingqing's mouth twitched. She had been working for the Public Security Bureau over the years and had also participated in arrests during the tracking process, but no matter what, the scene would not be so chaotic.
Even if the police are in plain clothes, they will reveal their identities early and there should be no accidents.
"What about the thief? Did he not run away?"
"Caught it, otherwise it would be a joke."
An old lady nearby said, "You can't say that. The children are kind-hearted."
"It's also frustrating when good intentions lead to bad results. The police are clearly there, so why are these kids joining in the fun? Aren't they just causing more trouble?"
"It's so disheartening to hear you say that. This is just an accident. If more people were to investigate, wouldn't it be possible to catch the thief sooner and recover the money sooner?"
"By the way, have you recovered the money?"
"I really don't know about that. Should it be recovered?"
The old men and women started chatting, but Tang Qingqing did not continue to join them and continued her day's exercise.
She returned home after her morning exercise. Su Rong was already busy in the kitchen. She saw Tang Qingqing and said loudly:
"Qingqing, I've already bought breakfast and put it on the table."
When Tang Qingqing walked into the kitchen, she saw Su Rong busy chopping meat.
"What are you doing?"
"Zhenzhen was injured. She said she felt dizzy and wanted to eat the halved noodles I made."
When Su Rong said this, she did not forget to observe Tang Qingqing's expression and was very cautious.
"If you're not hungry now, would you like to try it? Zhenzhen is a patient now, so I made this especially for her."
"No, I'll just eat soy milk and fried dough sticks." Tang Qingqing was not the type to get jealous of a patient. "I have to go to the Public Security Bureau later, and I guess I won't be back until late."
"If it's too late, call me back and I'll ask your dad or your brother to pick you up."
Tang Qingqing agreed and saw that Su Rong looked haggard and there were purple spots under her eyes. It was obvious that she didn't sleep well yesterday.
But now she was still busy chopping meat and pulling noodles, which made her frown slightly.
After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but say, "You didn't sleep last night, make sure you get some rest today."
Su Rong was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, Tang Qingqing had already gone upstairs.
Tang Qingqing brought the information to the Public Security Bureau, and Shi Pengfei walked out with an untidy beard. It was obvious that he must have stayed up all night last night.
"Have you had breakfast?"
“I’ve already eaten.”
After hearing this, Shi Pengfei stopped paying attention to her and started talking about work.
"We arrested the suspect in the machine shop theft yesterday, but something went wrong."
Tang Qingqing: "I also want to ask you about this matter. What happened? I heard that someone was injured?"
"Hey, we sent people to stake out the suspect, and it turned out that a group of people from your machinery factory were also there. These young people wanted to show off in front of the girls, and they insisted on catching the suspect before us."
"In the end, our people were pushed aside and the suspect almost escaped. As for the injured person, she was unlucky. The suspect's mother somehow found her and knew that she was the one who led the suspect over, so she rushed over and beat him up."
The scene was in chaos and the place was particularly small.
Everyone focused their attention on the suspect, and no one noticed an old lady sneaking out of the house. By the time they reacted, the old lady's rolling pin had already landed on Tang Zhenzhen's head.
If everyone hadn't intervened in time, Tang Zhenzhen's face would have been in tatters, and the old lady was about to hit her in the face with the rolling pin.
Tang Qingqing didn't know what to say. Tang Zhenzhen was really unlucky enough.
But this is how the arrest scene is. Even with the most detailed planning, there are bound to be mistakes.
After all, the scene is complex and unexpected situations may occur at any time.
Whenever this happened, Tang Qingqing would hide far away. She knew that she was not good at fighting, so she would not go up to cause trouble.
When she was hiding, she would also pay attention to her surroundings to avoid any accidents happening to her.
This is also a result of long-term experience. After her reputation rose, everyone knew that it was she who solved the case as soon as they saw her.
The criminals hated her so much that they often wanted to attack her. Sometimes the criminals' family members wanted to teach her a lesson for harming their loved ones.
She was almost beaten at first, but luckily Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi were there to help her.
If she were alone, she would be careful to avoid it and protect her own safety.
Tang Zhenzhen was very unfortunate. She was locked up and injured in this way, which made people laugh and cry.
"How did they know that person was the suspect?"
"That was what the injured girl said. She concluded that the suspect was very suspicious, so she took some people to block the way and see if they could find out anything. But one of the men had a bad temper. When he saw the suspect, he grabbed him and wanted to beat him up and ask him about the situation."
Tang Qingqing was even more surprised. After this case happened, the Public Security Bureau did not announce any results to the public. How did Tang Zhenzhen know who the thief was?
Tang Zhenzhen had to go to the art troupe and had no time to investigate.
"She said that she saw this person acting suspiciously one day and had a feeling that there was something wrong with him, so she wanted to stake out him."
Shi Pengfei investigated Tang Zhenzhen and was sure that she had no connection with the case, so although he had some doubts, he did not continue to investigate.
This case is so big, and Tang Zhenzhen, as the daughter of the factory director, wants to relieve her father's worries, so she pays more attention to it. This reason is also understandable.
As for the sixth sense, although it is mysterious, it sometimes really exists.
Tang Zhenzhen is not a suspect, so there will be no further investigation.
Tang Qingqing didn't believe it. It was just some sixth sense. She thought Tang Zhenzhen was very strange.
Thinking about the book I had read, since she could see it, did it mean that others could too?
The more Tang Qingqing thought about it, the closer she felt to the truth. Tang Zhenzhen wanted to use her intelligence to solve the case, but she didn't expect such an accident to happen.
Shi Pengfei waved his hand in front of her.
Tang Qingqing came to her senses and passed the information over:
"From the footprint in the photo, we can tell that the owner is a male, 1.76 meters tall, of medium build, about 23 years old, with pigeon toes."
Shi Pengfei touched his chin and said, "The features you described are exactly the same as those of the previous suspect. No wonder the old man made a mistake. The back view is the same."
"Then I'll study it further to see if I can find anything else."
"How about I take you to see that person later?"
Tang Qingqing looked up at him, and Shi Pengfei continued, "I don't know why, but I always feel that he is not so innocent."
Shi Pengfei had dealt with the suspect before, and it was obvious that this guy was not an honest person. Something must be wrong with him, but he couldn't find out anything.
"Okay, I want to go and have a look too."
Shi Pengfei did what he said and took her to find the suspect.
Because the matter was sudden, the bureau had arranged a car, so Shi Pengfei took Tang Qingqing there on bicycles.
The two men each rode a bicycle and it took about twenty minutes to reach the suspect's residence.
Shi Pengfei was not in a hurry to take Tang Qingqing to find someone, but took her to chat with a group of old men who were chatting and playing chess under a tree.
"You mean that kid? He's become rich recently and is very generous now. He eats out every day and even bought a TV for his family."
Shi Pengfei narrowed his eyes slightly: "Where did he make his fortune?"
"We don't know about that. The kid is always messing around and no one knows what he is busy with."
Shi Pengfei then took Tang Qingqing away and knocked on a door.
There was no response from the house, so Shi Pengfei knocked several more times before someone opened the door.
"What are you knocking for? I'm being chased by a ghost... Captain Shi, why are you here?"
Shi Pengfei pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
"You're living a good life. Where did you make money recently?"
Zhang Dafa laughed: "They are just some cheap wines, not worth much money."
"Really?" Shi Pengfei said with a wry smile.
Zhang Dafa flattered, "Captain Shi, I am a good citizen. What do you want to talk to me about? The last case was closed, and I was not at home that day. Although I am a bit of a gangster, I would never do such a thing."
"We are just conducting a routine investigation. Don't be nervous."
Shi Pengfei held Zhang Dafa's hand while talking, and they walked back and forth in the small room from time to time, and Zhang Dafa followed them all the time.
Tang Qingqing kept staring at Zhang Dafa's feet. In fact, Zhang Dafa had already felt Tang Qingqing's presence, but Shi Pengfei's strong aura prevented him from getting close to the beauty.
Tang Qingqing looked for a long time before looking away, pretending to walk around the room casually, and kicked the other shoes scattered on the ground to reveal their soles.
Zhang Dafa was busy dealing with Shi Pengfei's various tricky questions and didn't pay much attention to Tang Qingqing, a young and beautiful girl.
It was not until Tang Qingqing nodded to Shi Pengfei that Shi Pengfei stopped talking to Zhang Dafa about irrelevant things.
After the two of them walked out, Shi Pengfei asked Tang Qingqing: "How is it?"
"The owner of the footprints is definitely not him."
Shi Pengfei was not disappointed, after all, he had expected it.
"We probably missed something, so we need to conduct a thorough investigation."
Tang Qingqing shook her head: "The focus is still on Zhang Dafa."
"What do you mean?"
"That person looks very similar to Zhang Dafa, whether it's the pace or the body shape, they are very similar."
"What does this prove?"
"Does Zhang Dafa have any brothers?"
Shi Pengfei shook his head: "I only have one sister, who married a local when I was sent to work in the countryside."
Tang Qingqing frowned, "That's strange. I just looked at the other shoes scattered on the floor of their house, and there was a pair of shoes that didn't belong to Zhang Dafa. Although the shoe sizes were the same, the wear marks on the soles showed that their walking postures were different, so the locations of the wear on the soles were also different."
Shi Pengfei fell into deep thought.
"This person is very similar to Zhang Dafa, so the difference is not that big. I think that person is not only Zhang Dafa's brother, but also his twin brother."
Shi Pengfei immediately made the decision: "Zhang Dafa gave birth to the baby in another place. I will call and ask about the situation there."
Shi Pengfei was a man of action. After deciding what to do, he took Tang Qingqing directly back to the Public Security Bureau and prepared to call the police station there to ask them to help investigate Zhang Dafa's birth circumstances.
Shi Pengfei went to do other things, and Tang Qingqing was not idle either, and began to read the information about the murder case.
Tang Qingqing couldn't help but frowning when she saw the first photo.
The first thing I saw was a sea of blood. I saw a person lying in a pool of blood, his death was extremely tragic.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Tang Qingqing couldn't help but gasp.
It is especially unbearable to see the photos of the three children's bodies.
The male owner died the most tragically. First, her throat was cut, and then she was stabbed many times. Some of the stab wounds were so severe that her intestines flowed out.
After the hostess was awakened, she tried to rush out, but was caught by the criminals. She was stabbed four times in the back and then stabbed more than ten times in the front. Her death was very tragic.
There were three children. The youngest daughter was suffocated to death in her sleep and then stabbed again. There were no signs of a struggle, just the little body lying there. It was heartbreaking.
The eldest and the second child are both boys, one is twelve years old and the other is eight years old.
The two children slept in the same bed. It can be seen that the eldest brother's death was particularly tragic. He was stabbed more than 20 times, several of which were on the arms. According to the forensic report, these were probably injuries sustained by the brother in order to protect his younger brother.
The injuries on my brother's body were incredibly severe. It seemed as if the murderer had deliberately cut his body, without aiming at the critical parts, and just used the knife to cut everywhere.
My brother died of excessive blood loss and suffered great pain before his death.
My younger brother didn't have that many knife marks on his body. He had wounds in four places, and the fatal wound was a cut throat.
The murderer was very calm. The floor had been cleaned and several places had been mopped. Mop marks could be seen in the photos, and there were no fingerprints of the murderer on the mop.
The victim's family was well-off and lived in a small three-story house they built themselves. The couple lived on the third floor and the children lived on the second floor.
Although Tang Qingqing felt very uncomfortable looking at the photos, in order to seek justice for this family, she suppressed the discomfort and focused her attention on the traces at the scene.
From the traces in the photos, it can be seen that the murderer first entered the third floor and killed the male and female owners, and then went down to the second floor and killed the children, not sparing any one.
There were no signs that the door had been pried open, but an iron railing in the kitchen had been twisted open, and it was very likely that the murderer had crawled in from there.
However, there were no signs of the murderer crawling in, and no shoe prints on the windowsill.
The criminals were very careful and left no trace.
Tang Qingqing felt that she couldn't tell anything just by looking at the photos, so she put the information away and went to look for Shi Pengfei.
When he asked, he found out that Shi Pengfei had already been sent out as there was another case that required him to go to the scene.
"When will he be back?"
The female police officer shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. There was a group fight and we don't know what the situation is now."
"Who else in the bureau is in charge of the murder case?"
The female police officer said, "They are all in charge of the same team, and they have all been sent out now."
"Can anyone come with me to take a look at the scene?"
The female police officer looked apologetic and said, "We really don't have any more people right now. We worked all night yesterday and couldn't rest today. We have all been sent out."
Tang Qingqing had no choice but to leave with the information to see if she could find any clues.
She didn't dare go to the crime scene alone, and it was not against protocol, so someone had to be present.
When Tang Qingqing returned home, she saw the letter written to her by Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi in the mailbox at the door, which made her smile.
When Tang Qingqing walked into the room, she saw that Tang Zhenzhen had already returned home.
Tang Zhenzhen was sitting on the sofa with a gauze tied around her head. She looked very unhappy. She couldn't keep a friendly expression when she saw Tang Qingqing.
Tang Zhenzhen was almost mad with anger; she never expected such an oolong scene to occur.
She brought so many people with her, but she didn't expect that she would get injured!
What a bunch of good-for-nothings!
The only thing to be thankful for is that her face wasn't injured, otherwise it would have been a complete disaster.
But she now has a mild concussion and cannot do strenuous exercise for some time. She doesn't know if she can keep her position as the lead dancer.
If she missed it, her first encounter with the hero would be completely ruined!
Even if Su Rong was present, Tang Zhenzhen couldn't look happy.
If the woman in front of her hadn't come back, she wouldn't have fallen into this situation.
It was just a matter of one last step, but she was trembling with fear.
Now he is deliberately using some means of solving the case to attract people's attention, forcing her to think of using this opportunity to let everyone know that she is the best.
result!
The more Tang Zhenzhen thought about it, the angrier she became, and the pain at the back of her head started to get worse.
“Ouch—”
Tang Zhenzhen couldn't help but scream, and Su Rong, who was busy in the kitchen, ran out quickly.
"What's wrong, baby? Is it hurting again?"
Tang Qingqing's eyebrows twitched. This name was so familiar. She had clearly heard her mother calling her that in her dream.
After she came here, she never heard Su Rong call Tang Zhenzhen or herself like this.
Tang Zhenzhen pouted her lips and looked like she was about to cry: "Mom, it hurts so much."
"My poor baby, let me give you a blowjob?"
Tang Zhenzhen snuggled in Su Rong's arms, looking at Tang Qingqing with eyes full of provocation.
Tang Qingqing pretended not to see it and went upstairs.
Su Rong then realized that she had not noticed that Tang Qingqing had returned and had completely forgotten to say hello. She felt very upset.
But Tang Zhenzhen stuck to her, leaving her with no time to spare.
"Your father and your brother are such a jerk. Such a big thing happened at home, and they haven't come back yet! Especially your third brother. I don't know what he is busy with all day. He didn't even come home yesterday!"
Su Rong was very angry. If the men were not at home, she would not be so panicked.
When she heard that Tang Zhenzhen was injured last night, she almost felt cold.
When something happened to a girl late at night, Su Rong thought of the worst.
Fortunately, I was only hit on the head and had a mild concussion. I will be fine after some rest.
Su Rong originally wanted Tang Zhenzhen to continue observation in the hospital, but Tang Zhenzhen couldn't stay there, so she came back early.
"I don't know what has stimulated Third Brother, but he has become even more reckless than before," Tang Zhenzhen complained in a low voice.
The volume was loud enough for Su Rong to hear. Su Rong thought of Wang Heizi, sighed secretly, and changed the subject:
"Zhenzhen, you must not act recklessly again. Catching bad guys is the job of the police, so don't get involved. I'm lucky this time, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."
"Mom, I just wanted to help." Tang Zhenzhen felt very aggrieved. "I didn't expect that I can't compare to my sister in everything. I'm just causing trouble for you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are all excellent children, and none of you is inferior to the other."
Tang Zhenzhen looked gloomy.
Su Rong: "Don't think too much. Mom was just criticizing you for being too risky. Our Zhenzhen is very capable. She identified the real culprit so quickly."
"Mom, I didn't really want to be in the spotlight. I was just worried that the man had escaped, so I hurriedly gathered people. I left based on my feelings, and I didn't know how to explain it to the police, so I didn't have time to call the police."
"Mom knows you're a good kid. I'm just worried about your safety."
"My sister is fine, too. I'm not as good as her."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Zhenzhen, you are smart and beautiful. You and Qingqing are both my daughters. Don't belittle yourselves."
Tang Zhenzhen said shyly: "Mom, will you blame me for being too naive? I don't want to compete with my sister, I just want to be as good as her so that you can continue to love me."
Su Rong scratched her nose and said, "Mom doesn't love you just because you're outstanding."
Tang Zhenzhen then revealed a brilliant smile, her eyes looked towards the stairs, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Tang Qingqing went upstairs and hurriedly opened Wang Heizi's letter. She quickly scanned it and quickly found the content about Old Liu.
I mentally introduced that Old Liu was doing very well now. He had even been to the commune before and helped the commune solve a case.
"The old man was very angry and said that he had to rely on you to tell people that he was your master so that people would believe that this one-eyed old man was a powerful figure."
"Although he said this with a straight face, I knew he was very happy and proud in his heart. It made him feel even more proud that someone still remembered our uncle."
"My grandfather told me to write to you and remind you not to worry about him. He is doing well in the brigade. Your uncle and aunt often visit him and take care of him. They help him dry and wash the blankets at home regularly. If there is any delicious food, they will also remember to give him a portion."
Wang Heizi finally said: "The old man is no longer as withdrawn as before. He interacts with people in the village. He is in good health and a much more cheerful person than before."
After seeing this, Tang Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. Without reading the rest of the content carefully, she tore up Zhai Hongyi's letter.
Zhai Hongyi first explained why it took him so long to write to me. "I went to the south a while ago. The development there is very fast. I think there is a lot to be done there in the future. I will probably go there to develop after graduation."
When Tang Qingqing saw the letter, she knew that Zhai Hongyi would not take the path that everyone thought.
After graduating from university, he will not follow the arrangements and do the job assigned to him, but plans to work alone to create his own career.
Zhai Hongyi is now much more ambitious than when he was in the mountains and is full of hope for the future.
But his family members were not optimistic about him and thought he was just wasting time.
Zhai Hongyi rarely mentions his father.
"My father said I was taking the capitalist road, and he was afraid that I would become like my uncle's family and become a member of the bourgeoisie. I was like an antique, and I didn't realize what era we are in now."
"I ignored him. Even if the policy changes in the future, I will not regret my choice. I am not angry and I don't want to go against them. I did have such thoughts before. I had to do what they didn't want me to do."
"Now I think economic development is also a top priority. I can feel happy in it and my talents can be used. Why not do it?"
"It's a pity that there are too few people who understand me. They all think that I have a good way to go but I have to take a thorny road instead."
Regarding what Tang Qingqing mentioned before, that she wanted to teach those people a lesson.
Zhai Hongyi even said bluntly: "It is normal for you to have such thoughts. Otherwise, it would be boring if you don't care about anything at such a young age."
"If you don't have the ability and ideas to punish those people now, then you should develop yourself. Only when you have strong abilities can you take the initiative."
"I believe you have the ability to do this. You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, and you don't have to give those people too many looks."
"It is necessary to let those people get what they deserve, but it cannot affect your own life because they don't deserve it."
Zhai Hongyi wrote in the end: "I am quite busy this year, so I cannot visit you when I go south. I am very sorry. When I am not so busy, I will definitely visit you when I go south."
When Tang Qingqing saw this, she was so happy that she couldn't hide her smile anymore.
Although she didn't know when this future would come, it was enough to make Tang Qingqing happy.
Otherwise, she would have thought they would have to wait until she was admitted to college before they could meet.
Tang Qingqing couldn't help but wonder what Zhai Hongyi looked like now after not seeing him for a few years, and whether he had grown taller.
If he grows taller, she will probably still have to look up at him at her current height.
But they have definitely become more mature. Wang Heizi doesn't even look like a teenager now, let alone Zhai Hongyi.
Tang Qingqing couldn't help laughing when she recalled the first time she met Zhai Hongyi. She mistakenly called him uncle because of his big stature.
After reading Zhai Hongyi's letter, Tang Qingqing went to read Wang Heizi's letter. After reading the other contents carefully, she picked up her pen to write back to them.
So many things happened during this period that she wanted to talk.
Especially when it comes to Tang Zhenzhen, that mysterious feeling makes her always want to talk to someone about it.
The master was originally the best candidate, but he could not read, so he needed someone to read the letter to him.
Although Wang Heizi is a reliable person, he can't control his mouth sometimes, and it's easy for him to let something as bizarre as this slip away.
Tang Qingqing didn't want too many people to know about this, so she had to give up and replaced him with Zhai Hongyi.
When Tang Qingqing went downstairs again, everyone else had come back and were all surrounding Tang Zhenzhen. If you didn't know, you would have thought she was half-dead.
Tang Zhenzhen saw Tang Qingqing coming down from the building. She said to Tang Jianguo:
"Dad, all the money is gone. If Zhang Yaoguang had stolen it, he wouldn't have spent it all so quickly."
"We have inquired about it. He has not left his house during this period and has no place to hide the money. His uncle is the accountant of our factory. It must be his uncle who instructed him to do this. There must be something wrong with our factory's accounts!"
Tang Jianguo frowned slightly: "You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."
"Dad, I'm not kidding! Didn't you check the accounts yesterday? Did you find any problems?"
Tang Jianguo's eyes darkened slightly, and he said, "That's not true, kid, don't let your imagination run wild. He may have hidden the money somewhere, and the police will find it soon."
Dad! Hiss——" Tang Zhenzhen suddenly got excited and ended up tearing the wound on her back.
"Just take a good rest first and don't think too much."
Tang Jianguo left Tang Zhenzhen's side directly. Tang Zhenzhen wanted to say something but was stopped by Tang Jidong.
"Your current task is to take good care of your injuries. Don't worry about anything else."
Tang Zhenzhen was immediately annoyed: "Brother, why are you like this? Don't you believe what I say?"
"Okay, okay, stop talking. I'm going to have a headache again. The National Day Gala is coming soon. If your injury doesn't heal, all your previous efforts will be in vain."
Tang Zhenzhen was very angry and felt that her opinions were not taken seriously.
Why did she have to suffer like this for nothing!
"Anyway, this matter is definitely not that simple. If you don't believe me, you will definitely regret it!"
Tang Zhenzhen went upstairs angrily.
Su Rong poked her head out of the kitchen: "Zhenzhen, it's time for lunch, don't rush upstairs."
"My head hurts, I don't feel like eating."
Su Rong was puzzled: "What happened? Who of you offended her?"
Tang Jixue quickly distanced himself from the matter: "It has nothing to do with me, it's my second brother and dad."
Su Rong looked at Tang Jianguo and Tang Jidong suspiciously. These two usually doted on Tang Zhenzhen the most and did whatever they said. So what was going on today?
"Mom, it's okay. Zhenzhen is not feeling well, so she is in a bad mood. She will be fine in a while."
"She's injured now, please be patient with her."
Tang Jixue rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Aren't we giving in enough? I don't even know how many conditions I agreed to. It's as if I hurt her."
Su Rong was unhappy: "She is your sister! Why do you care so much? I haven't said anything to you yet. I don't know what you are busy with all day. Yesterday, you didn't even come home!"
Tang Jixue ran away quickly to find Tang Qingqing to hide away. Su Rong saw that Tang Qingqing was also downstairs. She didn't dare to mention Tang Zhenzhen anymore and told her to wash her hands and prepare for dinner.
"Qingqing, I heard that you were involved in that family-destroying case?" Tang Jixue looked at Tang Qingqing with excitement.
Tang Qingqing nodded: "You are really well-informed."
"Of course, Mom asked me to stay with you for the next few days."
"That's not necessary. Just go and do your thing."
"No matter how busy I am, I have to take time to protect you. I remember Wang Heizi said that I have to stay by your side when you are working on a case. You are always unlucky and it is easy for you to run into a group of people with problems."
Tang Qingqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are listening to his nonsense."
"Is it true that you were almost hit by an axe before?"
Tang Qingqing was helpless: "These are things that only happen with extremely low probability."
"That has happened before, and the murderer was even more brutal. I have to stay by your side even more!"
Tang Qingqing squinted at him and said, "Don't you need to take care of your business? Don't fish for three days and dry the nets for two days."
"Don't worry, Wang Heizi and Zhai Hongyi can both take care of it, so can I."
"Their situation is different from yours. They all started small businesses, and they have a living with me, so it's not a big deal."
"I have learned their spirit. I am now very down-to-earth."
Tang Jixue looked around and saw Tang Jianguo sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Tang Jidong went upstairs. Su Rong was busy in the kitchen and whispered in Tang Qingqing's ear:
"I bought a batch of goods and have let someone else sell them."
Tang Qingqing frowned: "Let others sell it? How big is your business? Do you need help?"
"Hey, I sell them wholesale to those people, and I get a commission. It's not that I'm afraid of being embarrassed, but those things are girls' gadgets, and it's not appropriate for a big boss like me to sell them. I guess girls will avoid me when they see me."
Tang Jixue did not aim too high. After listening to Wang Heizi's experience, he felt that his previous idea was wrong. One should not look down on a few cents, as a little bit can add up to a lot.
And in this process, you can also learn a lot.
Therefore, Tang Jixue did not think about doing any big business. Instead, he spent a month conducting research and then decided what kind of business he wanted to do.
He actually didn't have much money, but as the third son of a machinery factory director, it was still easy for him to get by.
He obtained a batch of small items such as hair ties and hair ornaments without any collateral, and then found female educated youth who had returned to the city and asked them to sell them at the gates of various factories and schools.
Tang Jixue's years were not wasted. He got to know many people of his age, especially educated youth who had returned to the city, including many girls.
Although being a self-employed person is shameful now, and some people would rather not work than do this kind of work, some girls come from poor families, and when they return from the countryside, there is no place for them in their families, and their families are not so welcoming to their return.
For a grown girl to share a bed with her parents, it might be okay for families who love their daughters, but life would be a little harder.
Those families who favored boys over girls were often yelled at to kick them out of the house, and they couldn't even have enough food to eat, which made them very frightened.
It's hard to find a job now. I've been to the Youth League Office so many times, but there's still no news of any job.
At this time they had no time to save face, and as soon as Tang Jixue approached them, they immediately agreed.
"I am just waiting to see the results. I am also interested in other businesses, but I dare not expand too much at the beginning."
Tang Qingqing was surprised: "You actually used my father's name?"
Tang Jixue used to be particularly averse to doing this because it made him feel like he had no ability at all.
Tang Jixue shook his head in embarrassment, "I really have no money on hand. I have used up all the money I had before. And now that you are here, I am even more..."
"Wait, what does this have to do with me?"
Tang Jixue looked up at the sky, smiled dryly and said, "Nothing..."
Tang Qingqing's eyes were sharp. "If you confess, you will be treated leniently. If you resist, you will be treated severely."
"Really, it's nothing!"
Tang Qingqing didn't believe him. He looked like something was wrong.
Tang Jixue touched his nose and said, "Can you not ask?"
"I don't have to ask, but you have to ask yourself whether it's right to do that."
"I am actually avenging you."
"What do you mean?"
Tang Jixue refused to say anything this time. Tang Qingqing knew that something must be wrong with him, and she guessed it was related to money. A vague idea emerged in her mind.
"You didn't embezzle the money that your family sent back to you, did you?"
Tang Jixue almost choked on his own saliva, "You, what nonsense are you talking about!"
As soon as Tang Qingqing saw the expression, she knew she had guessed right, and she didn't know what to say.
Tang Qingqing really didn't want to send the money back, but after all, it was wrong for Tang Jixue to do so.
"I hope you can come clean to your parents yourself."
Tang Jixue cried, "Sister, my dear sister, you can't betray me like this."
"If you don't even have the courage to take responsibility for your mistakes, how can you take on the responsibility?"
"Then can you give me some time? I've kept a record of everything. I'll confess once I make some money."
Tang Qingqing didn't force him any further. "Just remember what you said. You have to be careful with your money in the future and don't spend beyond your means."
"I didn't spend all the money on myself. I know you all look down on my friends. Some of my friends are really not good, but some are really good. They are in really difficult situations, so I lend a hand."
"This time, I was able to complete the business without showing my face, and it was all thanks to them."
"Anyway, you should think more about what you do in the future. You are an adult now. If Wang Heizi and Brother Yi knew about your behavior, it would be strange if they would take you seriously."
Tang Jixue swore and promised again and again, and only then did Tang Qingqing let him go temporarily.
