Chapter 31 e on, it’s your turn to bark!

They didn't get along well, so there was no point in talking. All the way back, Su Mei didn't speak to Huo Jianguo again.

When she arrived at the yard, she found that many people had gathered at the gate.

The news that Su Mei and Zhao Ying signed an agreement in the afternoon had already spread to every corner of the compound.

In such a remote and backward place, with no entertainment options, people naturally can't help but come over to join in the fun when they smell the gossip.

"Make way." Su Mei shouted from behind the crowd.

After hearing the noise, the crowd of onlookers finally realized that the real culprit had finally arrived.

The crowd quickly made way for Su Mei and Huo Jianguo to enter.

Su Mei looked around but didn't see Mei Mei. She couldn't help but feel a little strange. Why didn't she come when everyone else came to watch the fun?

Could it be that Meimei is afraid of offending others and therefore is unwilling to come out and testify for her?

While she was thinking, Su Mei had already walked into the yard.

In the yard, Chen Yilon moved a chair and sat under the eaves. He held a piece of letter paper in his hand, which appeared to be the agreement signed by Su Mei and Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying, accompanied by a timid-looking woman, stood on Chen Yilon's right side.

Seeing Su Mei entering the yard, Zhao Ying immediately took the initiative:

"Su Mei, we have all the evidence, what else do you have to say?"

"If you say everything is there, then everything is there. If solving a case is that easy, what else do we need the police for?" Su Mei said as she walked towards Yao Jinfeng. She asked Yao Jinfeng:

"Yao Jinfeng, are you sure the cabbages I pulled out are from your fields?"

"Yes...sure, it's...from my field." Yao Jinfeng lowered his head while speaking, not daring to look into Su Mei's eyes.

Su Mei nodded: "Okay, since you said it's yours, then take me to the vegetable field now and tell me where in the field it is and which trees it is."

"The evidence is all here, what's the point of comparing it?

Su Mei, Chief Chen is here today, and I showed him the agreement you wrote. If you want to deny it, Chief Chen will not agree. "Zhao Yingting knows how to wave the flag.

Although Chen Yilon didn't say a word from beginning to end, she dared to use Chen Yilon.

After all, Chen Yillong was tired of this kind of trivial theft, and if Chen Yillong ran into it, he couldn't just ignore it.

"This concerns my innocence, so I must be honest. If I didn't steal, should I allow others to splash dirty water on me?" Su Mei asked Zhao Ying in return, and then continued:

"Since Yao Jinfeng is sure that I stole it, what's the harm in going to the ground to take a look? Even if I die, I should die with a clear conscience."

"What a joke, Su Mei. Just pick anyone in this compound and ask if there is anyone who thinks that you, Su Mei, are innocent enough to be slandered?" Zhao Ying took over Su Mei's words and said sarcastically.

There was an immediate burst of laughter in the courtyard.

Apparently everyone thought that Su Mei was born unworthy of innocence.

At this time, Chen Yilong, who had been silent, stood up and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, stop arguing. Since Comrade Xiao Su has opinions about the witnesses and evidence, let's go to the field and take a look.

There is a saying that goes, never let a bad person go, but never wrongly accuse a good person.

We are trying to pin the crime of theft on one person, so we'd better get things straight."

Since Chen Yilon had spoken, Zhao Ying naturally did not dare to express any opinions. So a large group of people, led by Yao Jinfeng, began to walk towards her vegetable garden.

When the group was leaving the yard, Huo Jianguo walked around behind Su Mei and asked in a low voice:

"How long do you want to make trouble?"

"Chief Chen has agreed to go and take a look at the site. What's the matter, Commander Huo, do you have any opinions about Chief Chen? If you have any opinions, go and talk to him directly. Don't be sneaky and mysterious in front of me." Su Mei deliberately raised her voice to attract the attention of the people around her and Huo Jianguo.

This kind of gaze made Huo Jianguo feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. He quickly separated from Su Mei and didn't want to bother with this stupid woman anymore.

Does this stupid woman think Chen Yilon wants to make the decision for her?

Of course not. Chen Yilon just wanted to find direct evidence to prove the crime, so that he could kick her out with the most direct evidence.

She was rushing there so eagerly, but she was only courting death faster.

If things didn't get out of hand, he might even be able to get her a small yard in the military area for her to live in until she left.

This matter was brought to the attention of Chen Yillong. Once Chen Yillong intervened, the most he could give her would be a small room where she could be locked up.

It was simply foolish, but she insisted on seeking death so bravely. Huo Jianguo could do nothing about her and could only say sorry to Grandpa Su in his heart.

Su Mei thought that after walking such a long distance from the yard, she should be able to meet Aunt Wang and Mei Mei soon, but everyone had already walked into the vegetable garden and there was no sight of the two people.

Su Mei couldn't help but wonder in her heart, with such a short distance, Aunt Wang should have found the person long ago, right?

There was no point in just muttering, and Su Mei could only follow Yao Jinfeng to the fields to take a look.

When she reached the ridge leading to Yao Jinfeng's field, Su Mei had already discovered something. Logically speaking, if someone had walked in the snow, there should have been obvious footprints left on the ground.

But the footprints on the ridges of the fields were in a mess, trampled in a disorderly manner, and it was basically impossible to tell the size of the shoes. It seemed that someone had taken care of this field a long time ago.

Three pits were dug in the snow-white ground, which were particularly obvious among the bright vegetable fields.

Zhao Ying was the first to walk into the vegetable field. She placed the cabbages she had brought into the field one by one, then turned around and asked Su Mei in a cold voice:

"What else do you have to say?"

"I have a lot to say." Su Mei walked to the front with a smile, looked at the cabbages in the field, and asked Yao Jinfeng:

"Are you sure this cabbage is yours?"

"Of course." Yao Jinfeng nodded, and this time he didn't stutter.

Su Mei's smile became more obvious: "Oh, since these vegetables are yours, then can you explain why the ropes tied around these three cabbages are different in thickness from the ropes tied around the other cabbages in your house?

And why are these three cabbages so much smaller than the other cabbages in the field? It’s because you were biased when you watered them with feces. You had something against these three cabbages, so you deliberately watered them less.”

After saying that, Su Mei squatted down and brushed off the snow on several other cabbages on the ground, completely revealing the ropes tied around the waists of the other vegetables.

"It's really different." Someone in the crowd suddenly said.

"They are indeed different, not only in thickness, but also in the materials of the ropes. The cabbages in Yao Jinfeng's house are obviously flax-like, and the ropes on the cabbages that Su Mei picked are of a different kind than what I have seen before."

"And those three vegetables do look a little small in this vegetable field."

The eyes of the crowd are sharp. Following Su Mei's actions, many voices favorable to Su Mei were soon heard from the crowd.

Su Mei collected the key information from these conversations, and then still pointed the gun at Yao Jinfeng and asked:

"I ask you, why are they different from the other cabbages in your garden?

Also, could you please tell me what material the strings on these three cabbages I picked are made of?"

"I'm asking you a question!" Su Mei suddenly raised her voice when she said the last four words.

Yao Jinfeng was really scared.

“I...I...I....” Yao Jinfeng asked me for a long time but couldn’t make any sense to me.

Su Mei pressed on: "What's wrong? I won't come out?"

"She is a stutterer and a disabled person. It is inconvenient for her to speak. Isn't it normal that she can't speak?" At this time, Zhao Ying suddenly stood up and protected Yao Jinfeng:

"You keep asking her questions, and she's getting nervous and speechless. Can't you let her think about it carefully? Who can remember the things in this place so clearly?"

Although Zhao Ying seemed very calm when she spoke, as a general practitioner who had studied all subjects seriously, Su Mei still discovered her uneasiness from her little movements.

When Zhao Ying was there, he kept pulling his collar with his hands.

When people feel nervous when telling lies, the nerve tissue in their face and neck will involuntarily produce an itchy sensation, which is why Zhao Ying kept pulling his collar and rubbing his neck.

At this point Su Mei could almost conclude that it was Zhao Ying who instructed Yao Jinfeng to lie and frame her, but she didn't know what kind of hatred or grudge could make her do this.

At this point, Su Mei believed that someone of Chen Yilong's status could already see some clues. She did not ask any more useless questions, but turned around and cast her gaze towards Chen Yilong:

"Commander Chen, you said you would never wrongly accuse a good person, and you would never let a bad person go. I believe you will make the most fair decision."

The matter had been thrown into Chen Yilong's hands. Since Chen Yilong had taken over the matter, he would definitely take care of the details. He walked up to Yao Jinfeng and stared at her with his fierce eyes:

"Since Comrade Xiao Su has doubts, Comrade Yao Jinfeng would like to explain why these three cabbages are different from the ones in your field in every way."

Chen Yilon's aura was so strong that Yao Jinfeng felt unsteady on her feet as she was stared at like that, and she fell to the ground.

"Yao Jinfeng, don't be anxious. Think carefully. Chief Chen will be waiting for your answer." Zhao Ying swallowed hard as she spoke. Her face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. She looked at Chen Yilong nervously and said:

"Chief, aren't these all cabbages? It's normal for crops in the field to be different. Don't be confused by Su Mei's words!"

"I really don't like it when idle people interrupt me for no reason when I'm asking questions." Chen Yilon glanced at Zhao Ying coldly. Although he wanted to find something bad about Su Mei, he hated it when others used his prestige to settle some personal grudges.

Especially taking advantage of him and treating him like a fool.

Yao Jinfeng on the ground was already crying loudly at this time. She just agreed to help Zhao Ying tell a lie to drive Su Mei out. Zhao Ying promised her that as long as the matter was successful, he would take care of her daughter who was studying in the town in the future.

Yao Jinfeng was afraid that if she didn't agree to Zhao Ying, her daughter would be targeted by her. She also thought that Su Mei was a threat, and even if she framed her, no one would find out, and it would also be a good opportunity to get rid of the harm for the compound. So, she, who had always been honest, agreed to accompany Zhao Ying to act out this drama.

She and Zhao Ying put in a lot of effort, and even secretly went to the fields to do the work.

But Yao Jinfeng had never seen the vegetables that Su Mei had, and she had never imagined that the vegetables would be so small. Zhao Ying was a person who had never been involved in housework, so he would not notice such details at all.

Originally, she had done something on the spot, thinking that Su Mei had no way to deal with it, but she didn't expect that the usually stupid woman would find out the clues right away.

For a moment, Yao Jinfeng was in a dilemma. She didn't even dare to lie because she couldn't tell what the other three cabbages were tied with.

"Yao Jinfeng, you can't remember it, right? Then think about it slowly. When you figure it out, tell your father and let him tell me the answer."

"No, no, no, please don't... don't... don't tell my dad." Yao Jinfeng cried even louder.

It is obvious that Yao Jinfeng is very afraid of her father.

Her father was a cook when he was young. He was injured when he failed to evacuate in time during the war. Later, he worked as the deputy minister of logistics while injured.

Although she had no real power, she was well treated and her father was always grateful for the country's kindness. If her father knew that she lied and deceived others for her own selfish desires, he would definitely beat her to death.

Yao Jinfeng was trembling with fear. Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer. She stammered, "........ I said, actually Su Mei, Su Mei, she......"

"Jinfeng, don't be anxious, just speak slowly." Seeing that the truth was about to be exposed, Zhao Ying, under tremendous pressure, warned Yao Jinfeng in a seemingly comforting tone.

The amazing thing is that after being warned by Zhao Ying, Yao Jinfeng suddenly sped up her speech order and spoke a long and complete sentence without stuttering a single word:

"It's all my fault. I hated Su Mei and wanted to drive her out, so I deliberately framed her. Uncle Chen, I'm sorry."

After saying this, Zhao Ying's body softened and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

At this point, the answer is obvious.

Su Mei didn't want to care about how things would be handled.

Anyway, the things that happened in the compound will definitely not be brought to justice. After all, the original owner had done so many bad things and still remained unscathed.

All she can do now is to ask for a little interest to prove her innocence.

She walked slowly to Zhao Ying, took out the agreement that she had kept for a day, and said with a sneer:

"Come on, didn't you say that as long as I was wronged, you would apologize to me by barking like a dog? Teacher Zhao, it's your turn to bark!"
