Chapter 37: Whoever is locked in is the murderer!



"Okay, okay."

The captain also had a headache. Looking at the two people crying to each other, he turned his gaze to the fat aunt not far away.

Auntie Pang was stared at and quickly nodded: "Captain, what Auntie Wang said is true. Wen Zhiqing and Huo Jue were both found by my daughter!"

"Can Huo Jue and Wen Zhiqing come out and see me now?"

"It should be possible."

When the team leader heard what Aunt Pang said, he quickly called someone to go look for her.

Wen Xia Nuan and Huo Jue arrived on the road in a short while.

When Li Mei saw Wen Xia Nuan, she was furious and pointed at her and cursed, "You vicious thing! It's all your fault, you jinx! Since you came here, our Huo family has never had peace!"

Wen Xia Nuan was not a sheep to be slaughtered. Seeing her hand pointing at him, he took it and folded it over.

Li Mei's face turned pale with pain and she couldn't help crying out loud.

Wen Xia Nuan looked at Li Mei coldly: "Aunt, for Huo Jue's sake, I'm giving you a piece of advice. Let's keep out of each other's way. If you're rude to me, I won't indulge you!"

"Also, please remember this: I really don't like people pointing at me like this. If there's a next time, I won't show you any mercy either~"

Wen Xia Nuan shook off Li Mei's hand. Li Mei was in great pain and cursed at Huo Zhiguo, "You useless piece of shit! Look at my finger. It's all your fault!"

Huo Zhiguo was already terrified when he saw Wen Xia Nuan's appearance, let alone going forward to confront his wife!

I really can't believe that Wen Xia Nuan, who looks so weak, actually has such explosive power!

He actually underestimated Wen Xia Nuan!

Wen Xia Nuan couldn't help rolling her eyes as she stood there. Seeing Li Mei and Huo Zhiguo, each one more cowardly than the other, she really didn't bother to bother them anymore.

"Captain, what do you want to talk to us about?"

Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on the captain.

The captain rubbed his brows in pain, recounted the whole story, and looked at Wen Xia Nuan and said, "Wen Zhiqing, I just want to ask you, is this true?"

Wen Xia Nuan glanced at Li Mei, then glanced at Wang Li a few times: "What Aunt Wang said is true. Huo Jue and I were indeed locked up in the granary by Huo Chen."

"Huo Jue, are you sure that person is Huo Chen?"

Huo Jue was silent for a moment. Li Mei, who was standing beside him, looked at Huo Jue and said, "Ajue, you and your brother are of the same blood. You should be careful with your words. I believe you know what to say and what not to say, right?"

Li Mei stared at Huo Jue with a burning gaze. Huo Jue was silent for a moment before speaking, "It's true that Huo Chen is my cousin, but he did something that wanted to kill me. Auntie, after Huo Chen did all these things, why didn't he consider that I'm his cousin?"

"you!"

Li Mei frowned and looked at Huo Jue with disbelief in her eyes: "Huo Jue, did you do this on purpose?"

She took a step forward and reached out to hold Huo Jue's hand, but Huo Jue took a few steps back.

"Aunt, I've already said what I should and shouldn't say."

Huo Jue's eyes fell on Li Mei. Li Mei's fingers were shaking with anger. She looked at Huo Jue, but couldn't say anything in front of so many people.

"Huo Chen happens to be in the village committee. We have to ask him about this matter."

After the captain gave the order, Li Mei and others left.

A large group of people from the village committee appeared in the house, causing everyone in the house to look out the window.

The captain appeared, and Huo Chenteng stood up and looked at him: "Captain, I have written this self-criticism. Can I go home now?"

His nervous gaze fell on the captain, who waved his hand: "Huo Chen, look at him."

Huo Jue and Wen Xia Nuan's figures fell into his sight. Huo Chen took a few steps back and looked at the captain: "Captain, what do you mean by this?"

Also traveling with them were Chen Yanfang, Aunt Pang, his parents and Wang Li.

Huo Chen's heart sank. Seeing the captain still looking at him, he was at a loss: "Captain, I've seen Huo Jue and I'm the same person. What exactly do you want me to see?"

Chen Yanfang didn't know that Huo Chen was such a good actor!

She sneered, "Huo Chen, why don't you stop acting now?"

Chen Yanfang stared at Huo Chen with a burning gaze. Her expression was cold: "During the lunch break, you hurriedly passed by my door, right?"

Huo Chen responded, and Chen Yanfang continued, "I asked you about this at the time, but you looked flustered and hesitated when you spoke. Is this true?"

"Chen Yanfang, what do you want to say?"

Chen Yanfang didn't speak at this moment, and Huo Chen's eyes fell on her: "Whatever you want to say, just say it!"

Chen Yanfang looked at Huo Chen with a frank gaze, then said, "You're the one who locked up Brother Jue and Wen Zhiqing in there, right?"

Huo Chen remained silent. Chen Yanfang looked at the captain and said, "Captain, I also have an idea."

"you say."

Chen Yanfang thought for a moment before saying, "This is what happened. When I broke the lock open, I only wanted to take Wen Zhiqing and Ajue away quickly, so I didn't take the unlocked lock with me. Later, when I went back to get the lock, I found that it was gone."

Her eyes fell on the captain. "So I wonder if the person behind this is so anxious to take the lock because they feel guilty about it?"

"In other words, you suspect the person with this lock in their home is the murderer?"

The captain thought for a moment and looked at Chen Yanfang: "But how can you guarantee that this lock is definitely at home?"

Chen Yanfang curled her lips and said, "Captain, the lock must still be in that person's hands. It's not that easy for him to get rid of it in such a short time."

"You're right."

The captain nodded thoughtfully, looked at Huo Chen and said, "You keep saying you're not the murderer, so why don't we go to your house and see if you have the lock?"

Huo Chen gritted his teeth. What he feared was really coming true!

Now looking at the captain, Huo Chen quickly said: "Captain, I have a clear conscience anyway. If you want to search, then go ahead."

He glanced at his mother, and Li Mei responded, "Yes, Captain, I'll go with you!"

Li Mei was very enthusiastic. Wen Xia Nuan knew something was wrong. She thought for a moment and quickly said, "Captain, I'll go with you."

Li Mei paused and glanced at Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, you'd better stay out of these things!"
