Chapter 101 The Hundred and First Melon
"Nightmare? Is it a nightmare or is it real?"
Mrs. Zhou's son frowned and asked his mother.
Mrs. Zhou was helpless and spread her hands: "I don't know either. If Miss Gu hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten about it."
"Oh, that's not the case. I'm fine. Why is there bleeding? I think she is just too tired and her mind is confused."
Aunt Lin's pupils contracted and she spoke stubbornly.
The patrolman looked at Mrs. Zhou and asked, "Mrs. Zhou, are you sure you saw her bleeding?"
Mrs. Zhou is just not sure.
She said, "If you ask me, it certainly didn't seem like a dream, but if it was real, it would be hard to explain why Aunt Lin was fine."
Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was unable to explain, Aunt Lin smiled slightly.
The patrolman suddenly said, "In this case, we have to investigate the room."
Aunt Lin and her husband were stunned. "Ah, Sir, what right do you have to go in and investigate?"
The patrolman said solemnly and righteously: "Since a citizen said he saw this situation at your home, it is reasonable for us to go in and check. Please cooperate."
"this……"
Aunt Lin and her husband looked at each other.
The patrol officer urged again, "Please cooperate. We will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we miss a bad person."
"That's right, if you don't have shit in your heart, then there's nothing to be afraid of."
"It's been so long, even if there's no body in their house, there must be something fishy going on."
Everyone urged.
Aunt Lin and her husband had no choice but to open the door and let the patrolman in.
Everyone wanted to follow in, but they were stopped by patrol police. Only Gu Xicao and Mrs. Zhou were allowed in.
Aunt Lin led everyone to the balcony and pointed at it, saying, "Look for yourselves, there is something there, a dead body. This is a joke."
Mrs. Zhou looked around.
Aunt Lin’s balcony is the same as theirs. There is bird droppings on the ground, but not much. However, there is a stove built on the east side.
"Hey, when did you build a stove in your house?" Mrs. Zhou used to come here often, so when she saw the stove, she felt it was strange and subconsciously wanted to walk towards that side.
Before she could even touch the stove, Aunt Lin anxiously slapped Mrs. Zhou's hand away.
Mrs. Zhou was startled, and she screamed and covered her hands, confused and hurt, "Why did you hit me?"
"Then who told you to touch our things without your permission?"
Aunt Lin spread her hands, pointed around, and said to the patrolmen: "Do you see any bodies? No, right?"
She spoke confidently, as if she made a lot of sense.
Her husband also said: "It has delayed our meal. If you don't find the body, get out quickly. We still need to make lunch."
"No hurry, let's do a blood test." The patrolman took out a bottle of spray from his waist bag and looked at Mrs. Zhou: "Mrs. Zhou, you said you saw Aunt Lin's hand on the balcony. Where was it?"
Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, then she hurried over, squatted down and pointed at the connection between the two balconies, "It's here. I remember she was lying here, with her hand stretched out, patting us."
The patrolman nodded, motioned for Mrs. Zhou to move aside, and sprayed the reagent on those locations.
Although Aunt Lin and her husband didn't know what was going on, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they saw the patrolman's face change after he saw the glowing spots.
The wall gradually lit up with a light blue fluorescence.
Several patrolmen began to breathe rapidly. After looking at each other, two patrolmen stood up and looked at Aunt Lin and her husband. "Aunt Lin, you just insisted that you were not injured, right?"
Aunt Lin didn't know what was going on, and swallowed hard, "Yes, I, I wasn't injured, but my husband might have been injured here."
She winked at the man.
The man understood and said hurriedly: "I am a careless person. I might have been injured when I was building the stove and didn't even notice it. It's just a few drops of blood. It's not that exaggerated."
"This is not just a few drops of blood!"
A patrolman couldn't help but pointed at the ground and said, "There are so many traces of blood. That person lost at least 100CC of blood. You two should stop playing dumb. Tell the truth now. You may get a lighter sentence in the future. What's with all this blood?"
"Sir, it seems like flies keep flying out of that stove."
Gu Xicao pointed at the stove and said.
The patrolmen looked towards the stove with eyes as quick as lightning.
Aunt Lin subconsciously took a step back and stood in front of the stove.
"Get out of the way." The patrol chief's hand had already reached for the gun bag and he took a step forward.
Aunt Lin and her husband were both sweating profusely.
"I confessed that I am innocent. It was she who killed the person!"
Facing the patrolman's oppressive gaze, the man collapsed first, kneeling on the ground, crying and shouting: "I was forced by her to help her deal with the body!"
The man's voice was very loud. Although the others could not enter Aunt Lin's house, they could still hear the man's voice clearly in the corridor.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then it exploded as if a torpedo was thrown into the water.
"Fuck! There really is a dead body! Why has our building been so spooky these past few months? Someone must have died!"
"Did Aunt Lin really kill someone? No, we've been neighbors for more than a decade, but I never saw her as such a person."
"You're a piece of trash!"
Aunt Lin still wanted to hold on, but she never expected the man to be so useless that he confessed immediately. In a fit of rage, she kicked the man.
The man was kicked and felt aggrieved and angry. "I am a loser, and you are nothing. If you hadn't killed your sister, would we have been arrested by the police now?"
"So, there really is a body hidden in the stove?!"
The patrolmen immediately became serious, pulled out their guns, and stared at Aunt Lin and her husband vigilantly.
Aunt Lin's man was so frightened when he saw so many guns that his face turned pale. He swallowed hard and said, "Sir, don't shoot. I will tell you the truth. The body is inside."
The patrolman immediately asked someone to bring a hammer.
The stove was not solid to begin with, and after a few hits with the hammer, the body hidden inside was exposed.
The strong stench that had been hidden for a long time also broke out, and flies and bedbugs were buzzing around.
People inside and outside the house were all smelled badly.
"Aunt Lin? Isn't this Aunt Lin?"
When the patrolman was calling his men for help, Mrs. Zhou suddenly looked at the body on the ground and cried out in surprise.
The patrol chief looked at Mrs. Zhou and asked, "What's going on? Do you know the identity of the deceased?"
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were filled with shock. She looked at the body on the ground, then raised her head to look at Aunt Lin who had been arrested. She shook her head and said, "No, something is wrong. Why are there two Aunt Lins?"
After three months, the body is basically just bones.
But Mrs. Zhou still recognized that this was Aunt Lin at a glance, because the clothes Aunt Lin was wearing were particularly familiar, so familiar that she only took one look and knew in her mind that this was Aunt Lin.
"Are you sure?"
The patrolman found what Mrs. Zhou said a little mysterious.
Mrs. Zhou affirmed, "That's right. Aunt Lin and I have known each other for many years. I can recognize people by the sound of her footsteps. This dress is her favorite..."
When she said this, her face turned paler and paler. She looked at the living "Aunt Lin" with a look as if she had seen a ghost. "The one I saw that night was the real Aunt Lin. Who are you?"
In broad daylight.
Everyone who heard these words felt a chill down their spine; it was no exaggeration to say that their scalp went numb.
Aunt Lin sneered, "What are you talking about? I am Aunt Lin. I think you are crazy."
"Impossible, you're a fake!" Mrs. Zhou reacted immediately, "Since that night, you've become a different person, and you suddenly brought this man back. I couldn't understand it before, but now I finally understand, that's because you're not Aunt Lin at all."
"I'm not Aunt Lin, then who am I?"
Aunt Lin still refuses to acknowledge her identity.
She knew that at her age, even if she went to jail, she would only serve a few years at most, and as long as she could be released, she could still live a good life.
"you--"
Mrs. Zhou was extremely anxious, but she didn't know who the other person was.
"You are Aunt Lin's twin sister." Gu Xicao was wearing gloves and holding a photo hidden in the dead man's coat with tweezers. "Everyone can take a look at this photo. The real Aunt Lin in the photo is very similar to this person, but there is one difference. Aunt Lin has a mole on her ear, but she doesn't."
The photo has turned yellow and is very blurry.
But even so, everyone can see that there are two middle-aged women in the photo who look very similar.
The fake Aunt Lin's pupils trembled, and it seemed as if a thunder exploded next to her ears.
"Did you not expect that your sister actually kept the photo you took together?"
Gu Xicao held the photo and looked at the fake Aunt Lin with cold eyes.
The fake Aunt Lin's lips trembled and she lowered her eyelids. "I don't know what you are talking about."
"You don't know, you don't want to admit it, because you want to pretend to be Aunt Lin, so that you can live in her house and spend her money in the future, right?" Gu Xicao looked at the man: "What about you, if you don't cooperate, the police will treat you as an accomplice."
The man's face was pale, his hands were handcuffed behind his back, "I confessed, the things are exactly what you said, she and I are not husband and wife, we are just living together, a few months ago she said she was going to be rich, I thought she won the lottery, who would have thought that she called me here the next day and asked me to help her bury the body. Sir, I really didn't want to, but I was afraid she would kill me too, so I helped her. That woman is her sister, she pretended to be her sister after killing someone so that she could inherit the property and savings."
"You idiot, I must be blind to fall for a useless thing like you!"
The fake Aunt Lin was so excited that she cursed at the man with spit flying everywhere.
The patrolman immediately grabbed her and said, "Be honest, tell me who you are now!"
"I, I remember now, you are Lin Lu, right?"
Mrs. Zhou suddenly slapped her thigh and pointed at Lin Lu excitedly.
Lin Lu was stunned, "You know me?"
"Of course I know you. Aunt Lin told me that she has a sister named Lin Lu. When she was young, she was fooled by her ex-fiancé and ran away with him. She said that she has always been thinking about you and worried that you are not doing well."
When Mrs. Zhou said this, her eyes gradually turned red and her nose felt sore.
The patrol officers around couldn't help but look reluctant.
"You are talking nonsense. How could she possibly worry about me? She hates me to death!"
Lin Lu suddenly retorted excitedly: "When I eloped with that man, she scolded me and said she wished I would die!"
"You said it was back then, decades ago. You did something like this, isn't it normal for her to hate you?"
Mrs. Zhou looked at Lin Lu with anger and grief: "But decades have passed, she has let it go, and even kept asking people for information about you, but you actually..."
Lin Lu opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but said nothing.
The body was carried out on a stretcher.
Both Lin Lu and her lover were taken away by the police.
When the two were leaving, some people who couldn't stand it threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at them.
"Aunt Lin is so pitiful. She has been a good person all her life, but she didn't expect to meet such a sister."
Mrs. Zhou kept wiping away her tears.
The other neighbors also sighed. Originally, everyone thought that Aunt Lin was a murderer and was outraged. But who would have thought that Aunt Lin was a victim and was killed by her own relatives? This made people feel even more distressed.
"Mrs. Zhou, don't think about it. It's all God's blessing now. At least the murderer who killed Aunt Lin will be punished."
Mrs. Lin comforted her.
Mrs. Zhou wiped her nose and nodded. She looked at Gu Xicao and insisted on giving her the gift. "If you hadn't come to help this time, I don't know when Aunt Lin's matter would have been discovered. You must take these things away. If you don't, I will feel bad."
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Gu Xicao only accepted one bag of tea.
The paparazzi in Hong Kong are really well-informed. As soon as this case was discovered, the news was all over the next morning newspapers.
"Mrs. Wu, buy a newspaper." Wu Ni was pulling the shopping cart and passing by a newspaper. She casually glanced at it and was stopped by the newspaper seller.
She stopped and looked at the newspaper. "What's the news today?"
The newspaper seller handed her the Daily Times and said, "Big news! A sister killed her sister and buried her body in the New Territories. The sister even disguised herself as her sister when she went in and out. It's even more bizarre than a TV drama. What's even more bizarre is that it was calculated by Master Gu."
"Master Gu, is the TV too Gu Xicao?"
The neighbors nearby heard this and asked out of gossip.
The newspaper seller immediately said, "That's right, that little girl is really capable. If you ask me, she's much smarter than many charlatans."
"Then give me a newspaper." Without saying a word, the neighbor took out the money and took a newspaper.
Wu Ni hesitated for a moment, then paid for one.
She went home with bags of vegetables, made breakfast, and called her family out.
Her husband Zhang Yao helped her mother-in-law out. Seeing the dishes on the table, her mother-in-law Wang Hui frowned and said, "Why did you buy so many dishes so early in the morning? You bought chicken wings and fried dough sticks. Can't we survive at home?"
The little girl was eating chicken wings. When she heard this, she paused and put down the chicken wings hesitantly.
Wu Ni felt sorry for her daughter and said to Wang Hui, "Mom, no matter how short of money our family is, we don't need children. Miao and Li are both growing up. If they don't eat enough now, how will they grow taller in the future?"
"Then you can just buy Ali's. Why does a little girl like Miao need to eat so well?"
Wang Hui looked at Wu Ni with disdain. "You, if you don't go out to earn money, how would you know how hard it is for my son to earn money? To run a household, you must save money, spend less on things that shouldn't be spent, and we women should eat less, it won't kill us."
When Wu Ni heard this, she was furious. Save money, save money. She was always told to save money, but she lost four hundred thousand in one trip!
"Ayao, look at your wife. I just said a few words to her, and it was for the good of everyone, but she was so harsh to me." Wang Hui wiped her tears and said, "I know that my sister-in-law has been dissatisfied with me since I was drugged and my money was cheated away. I don't want to do this either, and I have handed over all the money in the family. What can I do?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yao couldn't help but look at Wu Ni helplessly.
Wu Ni was getting angrier and angrier. She put her things down and said, "Mom, when did I ever say I had something against you? Our family doesn't have much money right now, but even if we have no money, I won't save money for my daughter. If we really have no money, then we'll all have to starve together!"
"Auntie, why are you so rude to Mom so early in the morning?"
As soon as Wu Ni finished speaking, her uncle Zhang Xin came over with his wife and son to have a free meal.
Zhang Yao tried to smooth things over: "It's nothing. It's inevitable for a family to have a few quarrels. Your sister-in-law is very filial."
Zhang Xin sat down and was about to take a fried dough stick when Wu Ni slapped his hand away. "Uncle, I'm sorry. Our family doesn't have much money right now. Mom always says that I spend money lavishly, so I'm only going to prepare meals for a few mouths in our family from today on."
Zhang Xin's face darkened and he looked at Zhang Yao, "Brother, look at how sister-in-law behaves. She talks as if we often come to your house for free meals. It's just one or two meals. If it weren't for mom being here, we wouldn't want to come over to see her face."
"Ah Xin, stop talking. Mom is a sinner now."
Wang Hui cried and looked extremely aggrieved. "Mom knows that I'm old and can't make money, and I lost all my money. It's understandable that my sister-in-law hates me. But, Hui, think about it yourself. I'm a widow who raised you two brothers. I've suffered so much. You two brothers have caused me trouble since you were young. Mom has never said anything. Even if she beat me, it was only once. Mom has worked hard for you. Now, you just did one wrong thing, and your sister-in-law treats me like this. Mom is really heartbroken."
"mom!"
Zhang Yao was a filial son. He felt bad when he saw his mother crying and complaining about these things. He looked at Wu Ni with some anger, "Wu Ni, even if I beg you, just be nicer to my mother. No one wants to lose money."
"Daddy, Mommy didn't..."
Zhang Miao saw that Wu Ni's eyes were red with anger, and felt so distressed that he wanted to speak up to help Wu Ni.
Wu Ni stopped her and looked at Zhang Yao, "I never mentioned this matter from the beginning to the end. It was your mother who kept bringing it up. But since she has brought it up, let's get to the bottom of this matter today."
She took out the newspaper and threw it on the table: "This fortune teller is very accurate, let's ask her to calculate who cheated my mother out of her money!"
Everyone in the room was stunned.
Wang Laoshi cleaned the living room so clean that it was mirror-proof. He opened the door when he thought it was time to open the door. Before he went back home, he saw a group of people walking towards him.
"Welcome, do you have a number?" Wang Laoshi asked.
Wu Ni paid someone to buy today's number. She took her little daughter's hand and took out the number.
The other group was a father and his sons. Seeing the whole family, they couldn't help but take a closer look. One of the sons even asked Zhang Yao curiously, "Brother, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Yao looked unhappy and ignored his son.
Wang Hui wiped her tears and looked aggrieved: "We are here to avenge the crime of an old woman like me. I was defrauded of my family's money and I deserve to die. My daughter-in-law wants to find a master to calculate where the money went."
Wu Ni ignored her. Having been the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Wang Hui for so many years, she already knew that her mother-in-law's acting skills were better than those of female stars. She could cry when she was told to cry and laugh when she was told to laugh.
Wu Ni's reputation has been ruined because of her mother-in-law.
"Oh, isn't that a coincidence?"
The son clapped his hands and said angrily, "My dad was also defrauded of his money not long ago. All his coffin boards were swindled away, a total of more than 300,000 yuan. We heard that this master is very powerful, so we came to find him to find out where the swindler who cheated us of our money is hiding!"
His father was probably in his seventies, with a big belly. He coughed before he even opened his mouth, and there was a heavy phlegm sound: "That's right, that liar is so wicked. I'm in my seventies and I rely on this money for my retirement. Who would have thought that I would be swindled out of it when I went out for a walk that morning."
Wang Hui immediately resonated with him and said to him, "Brother, I feel the same way. We all don't want this to happen. We regret it more than anyone else. I haven't slept well for several days because of this. I even had nightmares. My daughter-in-law blames me, but I can understand. It's hundreds of thousands of dollars. How long will it take to save up this money? We are the sinners in the family."
Wang Laoshi listened to the two people muttering with a smile on his face, not taking it to heart at all.
After traveling around a lot, you will know that you can trust more than half of what people say. He asked, "Which of you two families will come first?"
Wu Ni immediately said, "Let's go first. The sooner the truth is revealed and the liar is found, the better my mother will feel. She won't have to tell everyone every day that she is a sinner. She may not be tired of it, but I am."
Wang Hui's face darkened and she glanced at her daughter-in-law.
The look was fierce and resentful, and Wang Laoshi, an outsider, was shocked when he saw it. He thought to himself that this mother-in-law didn't look like a pushover.
It’s hard to say who is the good person and who is the bad person between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
"Then you go first, you go first."
Dad is very generous.
The three sons and their daughters-in-law were somewhat dissatisfied and grumbled a little, but since they had already said it, they could not regret it and could only watch Wu Ni and her family go into the office.
"Please take a seat." Gu Xicao asked Wu Ni and the others to sit down. After collecting the money as usual, he asked, "What do you want to pay?"
