Chapter 62 Xiao Huayu comes again
Qian Duoduo and Sun Ya were both worried about the cherry blossoms, but they still had to face what they had to face. The next day, Sun Ya came to the cherry forest again.
This time, she took away most of the red cherries.
At the same time, the guesthouse also brought the results of its discussion on the incident.
Since the arson was a force majeure, the guesthouse will not pursue the matter. However, the fruits on the cherry trees must be picked as soon as possible to offset the deposit paid in advance.
In the following three days, the cherries gradually ripened. In the end, Huang Xinran still needed to pay Sun Ya back 125 yuan.
However, Sun Ya used some of the "thorn bubbles" as compensation and settled the matter.
Although the Lu family suffered considerable losses after this incident, they still made nearly two thousand yuan in total.
At this moment, the date for Lu Yunchen to return to the team is approaching.
Lu Yunchen wants to go back to the army, but the current situation of the Lu family makes him feel uneasy.
Just when he was about to go to the Public Security Bureau to ask, two police comrades came to Lu's house again.
"There's a guy called Xiao Huayu, do you know him?"
As soon as they arrived, they asked Huang Xinran a question that was difficult to answer.
"know."
Huang Xinran was much calmer than they had imagined: "When I was young and ignorant, I lent him some money. In the past few years, I have been trying to get the money back. This matter is a big deal and a small deal, and I haven't told anyone about it. However, just a few days ago, I gave him an ultimatum: he must pay back the money within a week! However..."
"What's strange is that Jiang Yurou came to me the next day and even took the initiative to speak on behalf of this person."
She hesitated for a moment. "Since you have investigated Xiao Huayu, you should also know that we were once engaged. Before the wedding, he married my cousin instead... The money was actually the money he cheated from me. Jiang Yurou came to persuade me, and I suffered this loss. How could I possibly agree to her?!"
"You mean Jiang Yurou and Xiao Huayu know each other?"
"Yes! Of course I know him. They are both very knowledgeable. They studied together a lot in the past and pursued the lofty Marxist ideas. Oh, and when the college entrance examination was just resumed a few years ago, they took the exam together for several years in a row. Every word I say is true. If you don't believe me, just go out and ask around and you will know."
Huang Xinran was indeed telling the truth.
Xiao Huayu and Jiang Yurou took the college entrance examination together several times, but they both failed in the end.
As he was getting older, his chances of passing the exam became increasingly slim, so he set his sights on Tang Yueyue.
The two police officers said goodbye and left with a hint of excitement in their eyes.
However, Huang Xinran always felt that they should have found some clues.
Sure enough, just one day later, news came that the suspect in the cherry orchard arson case had been arrested!
When Huang Xinran heard the news, his heart was pounding!
Caught?
Is it Jiang Yurou or Xiao Huayu?
But when she saw the unfamiliar face of the arsonist, she was dumbfounded.
She didn't know this person at all.
The other party cooperated well with the police's questioning and confessed to his crimes.
"Name."
"Wang Shidong."
"Age?"
"43."
"Why did you go to Lu's house and set the fire?"
"I, I didn't mean to do that! I just wanted to drug his big yellow dog and climb the tree to pick some cherries. I didn't expect that his family actually kept a white-haired beast on the tree. I was startled and bitten, and my hand was not steady, so I dropped the cigarette butt... I saw the fire and tried to put it out. I really didn't mean to do that! Public Security comrades, you have to believe me, what I said is true..."
"Behave yourself! You are still lying at this time..."
Outside the window, Huang Xinran and Lu Yunchen looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other.
"Do you think it was him?"
"It doesn't feel like that."
“I think so.”
Huang Xinran thought of another question. After the arson, the little fox disappeared. But from what this person just said, he seemed to have been attacked by the little fox? In this case, the little fox might have escaped?
Her heart was stirred.
He held back until the interrogation was over, then approached the police officer who was walking out of the interrogation room with a tired look on his face and said, "Comrade, the man inside..."
"Oh, he is the suspect, and the case is still under trial. However, he has just admitted that he set the fire. As for the rest, we have to wait for the follow-up results to be further confirmed. Please wait patiently." In fact, what he didn't say was that according to the clues they currently had, the other party was undoubtedly the suspect in the arson case.
The two looked at each other, and Lu Yunchen spoke first: "Thank you! Well, we will wait for your good news at home. Thank you for your hard work."
After the two men left, Huang Xinran walked quickly.
"What's wrong? Did you find something?"
"That's not the case."
Huang Xinran gritted her teeth and said, "I just think that person doesn't look like the murderer..."
"But he just admitted it himself. Maybe it was an unintentional mistake, but the loss he caused us was not small."
“…Maybe.”
Huang Xinran didn't know what to say and simply remained silent.
After returning to Lu's house, Huang Xinran went to see the big yellow dog first. Seeing that Ah Huang had recovered well, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to go into the mountains to look for the whereabouts of the little fox. Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, she saw Xiao Huayu hiding behind a tree not far away and waving at her, "Hey, Ranran! Here..."
"Why is it you?"
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Huayu looked left and right, as if he was avoiding someone: "Let's go to the back hill to talk."
He originally didn't plan to come over now, but he couldn't help it in the end. After forcing himself to do so for a few days, he finally came over.
Huang Xinran didn't move.
Xiao Huayu ran for a while and found that Huang Xinran was not keeping up, so he turned back and said, "What are you doing? Hurry up!"
"I'm not going. Did you bring the money you owe me? Just give it to me directly."
She stretched out her hand.
“…”
Xiao Huayu was furious.
How could he afford so much money? Besides, he came here today for other reasons...
"It's inconvenient to talk here. Come with me quickly to avoid being seen by others. Hurry up!"
Xiao Huayu urged anxiously.
He saw Huang Xinran and Lu Yunchen coming back together. He was very angry at first and wanted to leave, but he was unwilling to do so. In the end, he waited until Lu Yunchen left the Lu family before he dared to look for Huang Xinran.
If we don't leave now, what if Mr. Lu comes back and sees us...
There was a sharp pain in his cheekbone, as if he had been hit by that man again. It was like a conditioned reflex that his flesh ached whenever he thought of the other person.
Looking at Xiao Huayu who was sneaking around like a dog, Huang Xinran sneered silently and followed him with a swagger.
The show is about to begin!
