Chapter 86 Looking for Medicine
Cheng Zhuoyue took the police dog to investigate the clues, while Chen Zhuyi and Huo Jinzhi were still observing the trivial footprints left behind.
"Logically speaking, they should have reached this position, and they are very familiar with my place, and they should have done their homework in advance." Chen Zhu said, frowning.
Seeing her slightly worried expression, Huo Jinzhi smiled and said softly, "Don't worry. There are only a few people on the island who like to take advantage of others. If you count those who have conflicts with you, there are even fewer."
He had narrowed the scope of his suspicions quite a bit, but even so, finding that person was like looking for a needle in a haystack and would require some effort.
"Now, the dumbest way is to sit back and wait. The thief has already stolen the benefits here, and he will definitely come to visit many times in the future." Huo Jinzhi looked at Chen Zhuyi's anxious face and analyzed the situation with him softly.
Since there is the dumbest way, there must be a smarter one.
Chen Zhu looked at him with a burning gaze, a little impatient: "Stop keeping me in suspense, tell me quickly!"
"A smarter way... is to find medicine. The thing you want is not an ordinary gadget. Whoever gets it will definitely have some medicinal smell on his body." Huo Jinzhi said as he looked at Chen Zhuyi with trust.
With her medical skills, it is not difficult for her to identify the ingredients in the drugs. After visiting a few more houses, she will naturally be able to tell them apart!
Chen Zhu suddenly realized something.
"Okay, then let's go and talk to them together tomorrow!" Chen Zhu clapped her hands and agreed immediately.
It was getting late, so Huo Jinzhi left first.
Cheng Zhuoyue had reminded them before leaving that as long as they controlled themselves and didn't let Sui Sui eat those messy things, he would be a spirited dog again in a couple of days!
Dusk enveloped the village, and it was quiet all around. Chen Zhuyi tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She managed to take a nap for a while, and dreamed that someone deliberately entered the house with a weapon, which woke her up suddenly, and her back was covered in cold sweat!
"Ouch!" A woman's scream came from outside. She was probably in pain from being beaten, so she was yelling.
Chen Zhuyi immediately put on his clothes and walked out. Suisui was eating the bones on the ground. In addition to the fishy smell, the bones also emitted a faint fragrance.
"Don't eat anymore!" Chen Zhu made a quick decision and patted Sui Sui's dog on the head. He didn't mind that these things were dirty. He gathered them together with his hands, put them away, and strode out.
The light of the flashlight was particularly dazzling on such a night. The woman was still struggling. When Chen Zhu walked out, he saw Grandma Cheng and Huo Jinzhi entangled with each other.
Perhaps because he heard the sound, Huo Jinzhi didn't dare to pull too hard. The old lady was old and her bones were brittle. If she was accidentally bumped into something, let alone asking her to pay for it, they would probably have to send Grandma Cheng to the clinic first.
"I thought the thief would come here at night, so I came here to patrol. As luck would have it, I really found him." Or maybe he just said that as he used more strength in his hands and forcibly held down Grandma Cheng.
The light from the flashlight forced Grandma Cheng to cover her face as much as possible, cursing under her breath. A piece of fresh bacon fell next to her, and she picked the best one.
"You and I have no grudges in the past or present, so why do you come to steal things from me? Let's go to the police station later and sort it out!" Chen Zhuyi also breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately walked over and spoke loudly. Grandma Cheng was indeed a powerful person who could open the door silently.
Grandma Cheng said nothing and kept struggling. The key in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound!
"Isn't this the key to your house?" Huo Jinzhi recognized it at a glance and asked in confusion.
Chen Zhuyi reached out and fumbled around to make sure he had the key. He then saw that the key was tied with a red string, which looked brand new. He immediately asked, "Where did you get this key?"
At the beginning, only the village committee had the key. Later, Ye Xumei had one in his hand and Chen Zhu had one in his hand. There were only these two in total!
The key given to Ye Xumei already showed signs of time. Unexpectedly, Grandma Cheng now has a third key in her hand. Who else in the village has the key to this place?
Grandma Cheng looked at Chen Zhuyi's anxious expression, snorted coldly, but had no intention of answering at all.
Seeing that she was not moved by his soft words or hard words, Chen Zhuyi made a quick decision: "Send her to the police station first!"
Before Grandma Cheng could take advantage of her age and seniority, Huo Jinzhi knocked her unconscious, carried her on his shoulders, and dropped her at the door of the police station.
The military dog barked twice. Cheng Zhuoyue, who was on night watch and thinking about how to solve the case, heard the noise and immediately came out. He saw Huo Jinzhi holding a piece of fresh bacon and bringing Grandma Cheng with him. His eyelids jumped suddenly: "This case... is solved just like that?"
"We've found the suspect. She has a key in her hand, which complicates the situation. Grandma Cheng probably didn't have access to the key in her hand, so where this one came from is a big question."
Huo Jinzhi explained the current situation in a few words.
Cheng Zhuoyue immediately imprisoned Grandma Cheng. When the old lady woke up and saw the cold, hard walls everywhere, her tone suddenly became a little dissatisfied. Still relying on her old age, she said nonsense: "What are you doing?"
"I was just resting at home, but the moment I opened my eyes I found myself here. What do you want to do to me?"
"It's better for you to confess, otherwise this matter will not only affect you, but also the future of your grandson and son." Cheng Zhuoyue looked at her trying to argue for justice and warned her with a stern face.
Huo Jinzhi and Shen Zhuyi were listening to the noise outside, with the same look of suspicion on their faces.
"I don't understand what you're saying. It's definitely inappropriate for you to detain me here by force. I want to see your director and release me quickly!"
Grandma Cheng did not directly answer Cheng Zhuoyue's question, but continued to make loud noises, trying to attract other people's attention in this way.
Seeing that Cheng Zhuoyue was still stubborn, Grandma Cheng struggled and pretended to cover her heart and shouted, "I can't take it anymore. I'm going to suffocate here. You'll be the murderer later!"
The old man is old, and it is inevitable that he will have some illness. Even Cheng Zhuoyue didn't dare to take the risk at this moment and walked over immediately.
"Let me go quickly, or I will die here!" Grandma Cheng threatened again with a hint of pride on her face.
