Zhou Songbai suddenly woke up from his dream, sweating in the cold weather. He looked out the window and saw that the sky was still dark.
Recalling the scene in the dream, my face was burning. I got up and changed into a pair of shorts. Feeling guilty, I fetched water in the dark to wash them clean, and hung them among a pile of clothes drying outside.
He couldn't fall asleep again after lying on the kang for a while, tossing and turning. As soon as it was dawn, Zhou Songbai got up, washed up, and waited for the bus to the county town without eating breakfast.
When Yun Zhiping went out, he saw the tail of a car passing by. He asked Zhou's father beside him, "Uncle Zhou, what's the urgent matter with Song Bai?"
Zhou's father didn't know where his son was going. He definitely didn't go out on his bike to look for Zhiyu. Was he going to the county town to buy things?
"Don't worry about him. He's not a two-year-old kid. He can't be lost." Zhou's father said with a smile.
Since his own father didn't care, he, as an outsider, naturally wouldn't say anything. Yun Zhiping went to the kitchen to get some hot water to wash up.
Meng Zhiyu had breakfast in the yard today because she saw Mu Ziwei sitting in the yard eating steamed buns, so she kindly gave him a bowl of extra porridge.
Finally, the four people in the backyard and the three people in the front yard squeezed onto the table in the yard to eat breakfast, listening attentively to Mu Ziwei and Zhang Yang talking about the investigation.
Mu Ziwei took a sip of porridge and said, "We reported it yesterday. We checked everything about the captain's beloved yesterday and found some problems."
Zhang Yang ate the steamed buns provided by Li Tingman and drank the porridge provided by Li Qingqing. "Yes, yes, we found that the expenses of the captain's family far exceeded the income of all the members of their family."
Mu Ziwei continued to pick up a piece of crisp and delicious side dish, "This morning we secretly explored Li Lian'er and He Zhida's new house. We found that although there wasn't much to see from the outside, there were a lot of good things inside. The house was better kept than some of the houses in the county."
Zhang Yang finished the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl and said, "But these don't mean anything. We still need to find as much evidence as possible. The people above us will have to investigate deeper." The main reason was that they didn't have the authority.
Meng Zhiyu hesitated for a long time, but finally expressed his guess, "Brother Mu, Brother Zhang, maybe you can talk to Sister Zhang. She might know something."
"Mrs. Zhang?" Mu Ziwei and the others were surprised. "Mrs. Zhang, isn't your mind a little unclear? How can you ask this?"
Zhang Yang and Yun Zhiping reacted the fastest, saying in unison, "Is Mrs. Zhang playing dumb?"
"What?" Li Qingqing and the others were stunned. They had obviously never thought about this question.
"Mrs. Zhang was really crazy at first, but now she's lucid," Meng Zhiyu explained. "I don't know why, Zhiyu."
Li Tingman thought about her past life. The child was not found, and Mrs. Zhang fell into the river before she returned to the city. "When did you know this? Why didn't I tell you?"
Meng Zhiyu sighed. It was not that she did not want to say it. After all, it was the other person's choice to play dumb. Why should she expose him when he was pretending so well? But now it was different. Since it involved the case, she naturally could not pretend to be ignorant anymore.
"Brother Mu, when you go there, avoid people and don't expose our sister-in-law." Meng Zhiyu warned.
"Don't worry, we know."
After dinner, Mu Ziwei and Zhang Yang went out again. Yun Zhiping borrowed Li Tingman's bicycle to go to the county town to do some business. As for why he didn't borrow Zhiyu's, it was because the base of her bicycle was a bit low.
Meng Zhiyu stayed in the room reading a novel and didn't come out until Zhou Songbai came back from the county town and knocked on the door.
"What did you get?" Meng Zhiyu looked at the big package in Zhou Songbai's arms.
