At this moment, Lin Nanxi's cell phone suddenly rang, and Tong Si's name appeared on the screen. Seeing this, she hurriedly pressed the answer button.
Just before leaving, Lin Nanxi sent a message to Tong Si, asking if she had any connections in Huairen County who could help inquire about her uncle's situation. Unexpectedly, Sister Si acted so quickly!
After the call was connected, Lin Nanxi couldn't wait to ask, "Sister Si, is there any news?"
Tong Si spoke gently, "Well, just now, I successfully contacted the director of Huairen County through a classmate I'm very close to. Don't worry, I've already talked to the director. Your uncle will definitely not be bullied in there. However, the specific case is quite complicated and still requires further investigation."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Sister Si. You've worked hard."
Tong Si heard this and soothed him gently, "Xixi, don't worry too much. It's just a routine investigation. As long as your uncle hasn't done this, everything will be fine soon. What you need to do now is to comfort your family."
Just as Tong Si said, the real culprit had been caught before Lin Nanxi and his group arrived in Huairen County.
It turned out that the police, through checking Song Li's social relations, discovered that she had a lover named Lu Dong. After some investigation and interrogation, they finally identified Lu Dong as the murderer of Song Li and Erniu.
After receiving the news, Lin Nanxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground! She then told the good news to her grandparents and asked them to relax.
Huairen County.
As soon as they entered the county town, Lin Nanxi asked the driver to go to Yurui Hotel. After all, no one had lived in his house for a long time, so it must be dirty and messy.
Moreover, she is a public figure now, and if she goes home rashly, it may cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, staying in a hotel becomes their best option.
The whole family had no objection to this. After all, Lin Nanxi's current status was different. Even if it was to avoid those who came to the Lin family to ask for help in finding a job or to get close to them, he couldn't go back.
After checking into the room, Lin Nanxi asked her parents to take her grandparents to rest. Although the murderer had been caught, Zeng Qiang could not leave until the interrogation was over. All they could do now was wait for news.
Because the grandparents were very worried about their son's condition, they insisted on going to the police station. Seeing that his parents could no longer persuade him, Lin Nanxi stood up:
"Grandpa, grandma, before the matter is investigated thoroughly, we won't be able to see Uncle even if we go to the police station. Don't worry, the real suspect has been caught. As long as he confesses and it is confirmed that the whole thing has nothing to do with Uncle, he will be able to come back. So what you need to do now is to have a good rest. We will go together to pick Uncle up later, okay?"
The old couple were still a little worried after hearing Lin Nanxi's words. They frowned, and their eyes revealed deep worry:
"Xixi, even though the real murderer has been caught, we still feel like a huge stone is weighing on our hearts. Why don't you ask the driver to take your grandfather and me to the police station? Even if we can't see your uncle, it's good to be closer to him."
Grandma's voice was choked with sobs, and she held Lin Nanxi's hand tightly, as if trying to draw strength from her.
Grandpa stood silently by, his eyes full of worry!
Seeing the two old people so worried, Lin Nanxi felt bad too, but she knew clearly that if they rushed over now, not only would they not be able to help, but they might also encounter unexpected situations due to the long journey and overwork.
It would be better to stay in the hotel and wait for news. Thinking of this, she explained patiently and clearly:
"Grandpa and grandma, the police will definitely handle this matter fairly and won't wrongly accuse any good person. They also need time to investigate the truth of the matter. If you go now, it will distract the police and delay my uncle's release."
Upon hearing this, Yue Wenying gave up the idea of going to the police station in person. "Okay, then your grandfather and I will go and rest first. If you have any news, please notify us immediately, okay?"
"good!"
Watching them walk into the room, Lin Nanxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She knew that this period of time was a torment for her grandparents and parents, but she believed that her uncle would definitely come out safely.
In the following period of time, Lin Nanxi took care of his family while following the progress of the case.
Police station.
After a day of interrogation, and considering that this was Lu Dong's first crime, he, with his weak mental state, could not withstand such torture.
Faced with a mountain of irrefutable evidence, Lu Dong soon couldn't bear the pressure and confessed all his crimes.
It turned out that Lu Dong missed Song Li so much last night that he could not suppress the impulse in his heart. He finally decided to go to Zeng Qiang's house to see Song Li on the pretext of borrowing farm tools.
"Is Brother Qiang at home?"
Zeng Qiang was bathing his son in the yard. When he heard Lu Dong's voice, he looked up and asked, "Xiaodong, why are you here so late? What's going on?"
Lu Dong did not answer Zeng Qiang's question, but pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Brother Qiang, why are you giving Xiao Mao a bath? Where is your sister-in-law?"
Zeng Qiang smiled and explained, "Er Niu is already over 30 years old and still hasn't found a partner. Last time your sister-in-law's cousin came to our house, Er Niu fell in love with her at first sight. Now Er Niu is pestering your sister-in-law all day, asking her to help set them up. They went to your sister-in-law's cousin's house to meet each other, and they haven't come back yet!"
After hearing Zeng Qiang's words, Lu Dong immediately felt that something was wrong. After all, how could they not finish seeing each other so late?
Besides, Erniu is an old bachelor full of vigor. Who can guarantee that he will not be tempted by lust and do Song Li on impulse?
I have to say, Brother Qiang is really generous. He is not worried at all that his wife hasn't come home yet?
No, Zeng Qiang may be confident, but Lu Dong is not. After all, Song Li is his woman now!
Lu Dong said absentmindedly, "Haha, Brother Erniu is finally getting it. Oh, and my dad asked me to dig the soil tomorrow, but I don't know where he put the shovel, so I thought I'd come to your house and borrow one."
Zeng Qiang heard this and pointed to the corner of the wall. "It's over there. Go find it yourself. Just remember to return it to me when you're done."
"Dele."
After saying that, Lu Dong hurriedly took the shovel and left. "Brother Qiang, I'll take it away. I'll return it to you tomorrow when I'm done using it."
"Um."
