Chapter 410: Husband and wife work together to solve the case 2 His family asked my mother to be a matchmaker, and I...
After hearing what Zhang Mingli said, Yao Zhizhi could understand why the system was so quiet.
This really matches up. The relationship between Zhang Mingli and Li Jin is probably more than just a simple relative.
Let me ask, if they were just ordinary relatives, why would Li Jin often go to Zhang Mingli's house to play?
Now, what Yao Zhizhi needs to figure out is whether Zhang Mingli lived in the countryside or in the city when she was a child?
She smiled and asked, "Oh, Li came to your house to play? Did he go there by car?"
Zhang Mingli shook her head. "That's not the case. When Li Jin was a kid, his mother was often ill. Unable to get proper care in the countryside, they rented a house in the city. Since it's close to my house, he often comes over to visit. Are you familiar with him?"
"Not very well." Yao Zhizhi checked her watch. She had no idea what was going on with Qi Changxiao, and there was no news from Xiao Jin either. Anyway, she decided to just keep dragging Zhang Mingli along. She shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. Li Jin is too naughty. He keeps bullying his classmates, and I can't beat him up. So I went home and complained to my parents, who switched me to a different class. We haven't been classmates since."
Zhang Mingli smiled awkwardly. "That's true. He was quite naughty. My mom told me that every time he came to play at my house, he would make me cry. But I was still young then, so I don't remember it clearly."
Yao Zhizhi raised her eyebrows helplessly, as if she was talking about irrelevant gossip: "Just making you cry is still polite. There was an unlucky guy in our village who was forced to jump into the river by him and almost lost his life."
Zhang Mingli had heard of this, and she sighed, "Yeah, my mom also said he was a bad boy, always causing trouble, so his family came to my mom to be a matchmaker, but my mom didn't agree."
"Matchmaking? Are you going to match you to him?" Yao Zhizhi finally got the key information and couldn't help gossiping.
Zhang Mingli laughed and said, "How is that possible? My father is his uncle. Even if my last name isn't Li, I'm still his cousin. His family told my mother that the daughter he told my stepfather about was his ex-wife's daughter."
"Oh? You don't have your father's last name." Yao Zhizhi pretended not to know. "Are your parents divorced?"
"Even if my parents didn't divorce, I would still have my mom's last name because my dad married into the family." Zhang Mingli smiled. "It's a good thing I have my mom's last name, otherwise, I would be in trouble."
"What?" Yao Zhizhi raised her eyebrows. Sure enough, there were some twists and turns in this matter that she didn't know about.
Zhang Mingli smiled awkwardly. "Since you're from Yaowang Village, you should know about what happened to Yao Erdan's family, right? Yao Erdan got into big trouble by switching his own daughter with a relative's daughter. That daughter was bullied by Li Jin."
Yao Zhizhi feigned shock: "Really? The one who jumped into the river?"
Zhang Mingli sighed, "That's right. When my mother heard about this, she quickly sent me to a textile school in the provincial capital, fearing that I would be implicated. Because of this, my mother canceled my engagement. That family was so angry that they spread rumors about me, saying I was immoral and had eloped with someone else. To protect my reputation, my mother had to pay that family a sum of money to shut them up. Now, more than ten years have passed, and the bullied girl doesn't seem to be looking for revenge, so my mother let me come back."
Yao Zhizhi suddenly realized that Zhang Mingli was not only Li Jin's closest relative, but her stepsister was almost introduced to Li Jin.
It seems that her system is really good at building relationships.
Although this guy always likes to be mysterious, as long as you reason according to its noisy or silent rules, nothing will go wrong.
Yao Zhizhi shouted silently in her heart: "Hey, she didn't lie to me, did she?"
"No." The system muttered, "Don't ask me, just figure it out yourself. It's not a big deal."
Yao Zhizhi rolled her eyes and continued to tease Zhang Mingli. She asked, "So you know Li Man, right?"
"Ah, she's been dead for several years." Zhang Mingli shrugged nonchalantly. "There's no point in admitting we didn't know each other."
"Why is it meaningless? She should be your aunt." Yao Zhizhi whispered, "Doesn't she have a daughter in Yicheng? Aren't you guys going to visit her?"
"Why leave? My mom divorced my dad, and the Li family was so mad that they even had trouble with my mom. The two families broke up a long time ago and have no contact at all." Zhang Mingli was a little indignant at first, but when she thought of what her father said last night, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
If it was really her mother who cheated first...
Then it is reasonable for the Li family to cause trouble for her mother.
Her father is blind and was kicked out. He was originally a son-in-law, so isn't divorce equivalent to being kicked out of the house?
Oh my god, the more I think about it, the more miserable my dad is.
Zhang Mingli suddenly fell silent, unable to utter a word because of the heartache.
Seeing her instantly disappointed look, Yao Zhizhi didn't ask any more questions. She just sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about the grudges of the older generation. If the younger generation doesn't listen to them, they'll get angry."
"Yeah." Zhang Mingli looked at the wall clock weakly. She didn't know if her father had escaped. At least she had stopped this woman. She asked, "I don't know what you do for a living, sister? You're not sleeping at this hour."
"As for me, my family planted watermelons. After the rain stopped, I was afraid that the watermelon fields would be flooded, so I went to drain the water." Yao Zhizhi spoke without hesitation. Anyway, when Yao Erdan and the others got into trouble, Zhang Mingli was arranged to go to the provincial capital. As long as she didn't say anything, Zhang Mingli would never know her.
It is very impolite to ask questions to a stranger who kindly sent you to the clinic to treat your wound.
Zhang Mingli was a perceptive person, so she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she sighed, "Growing watermelons is not easy. You also have to be careful about them being stolen."
"Yes, watermelons don't taste good if there's too much rain, and it's hard for farmers to make money. Fortunately, the production quotas are now assigned to each household, and each is responsible for its own profits and losses. The laborers in the family can also go out to work to supplement the income. Otherwise, the production team would deduct work points, which would be very uncomfortable." Yao Zhizhi spoke in the tone of an old farmer.
Although Zhang Mingli thought that her clothes did not look like those of a country girl, she could not find anything wrong with her words, so she just smiled and changed the subject.
As we were chatting, Qi Changxiao arrived.
After he and Yiyi separated at the door of Cuicui's house, he quickly called Yang Shuming and asked his brother-in-law to quickly arrange people to go to the address he gave to arrest the person.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Xiao Jin had returned and reported the case.
At this moment, Yang Shuming and others had come to support and would arrive soon. However, Qi Changxiao did not go directly to the commune clinic to find Yao Zhizhi. Instead, he went back to the city first and found the snake mother who was hatching the eggs.
Snake Mom was too busy to help, but her original group of children were all around Yi City, so she asked Jiaojiao to find other brothers and sisters around to convey her instructions, and then go back to the nest to continue incubating the eggs.
Soon, Qi Changxiao had a few more white snake helpers. He led them to the house behind the fenced courtyard first, and asked Jiaojiao to take a few little snakes to guard the three treasures. He then rushed to Baibo Village downstream of the canal, leaving a few snakes to help Yiyi. Finally, he had time to rush to the clinic to see if his wife was there.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the clinic, I met people from the Liu family.
When Old Liu saw Qi Changxiao, he was so enthusiastic that he quickly grabbed his arm and asked him what he was doing there.
Qi Changxiao was afraid that he would reveal some key information and be heard by Zhang Mingli, so he took Lao Liu's arm and went out.
"Uncle Liu, do you have any relatives in Baibo Village?" Qi Changxiao walked to the supply and marketing cooperative diagonally opposite, bought a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Old Liu.
Old Liu smiled and said, "Of course I do. What? Do you need me to run errands?"
"You go over there and help me spread the word in the village over there that a group of people from outside the village broke into Yaowang Manor last night and left behind several bags of gold and silver that no one claimed." Qi Changxiao was preparing for a fishing expedition.
He believed that those who hesitated until the last moment to leave were reluctant to give up those bags of gold, silver and treasures.
As long as this news is released, there will definitely be people who will be itching to get it back secretly, and then we can catch them in the act.
Old Liu was puzzled and asked, "What gold and silver jewelry? Are you kidding me? Who can afford jewelry these days?"
"If you can't afford it, you can't afford to dig it up?" Qi Changxiao smiled. "Uncle Liu, don't ask how this thing came about. When you get to Baibo Village, tell them that the production team leader has posted a notice at the small auditorium at the entrance of Yaowang Village, asking people to claim it. If no one claims it within three days, the item will be confiscated."
Old Liu was no fool. He probably guessed something and asked quietly, "Could it be tomb robbers? There's a large Han Dynasty tomb right next to Yaowang Manor. It's said to belong to some prince. If it were really dug up, it would be a disaster."
Qi Changxiao smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, don't ask any more questions, and don't think about things that shouldn't be thought about. Think about Liu Hongwei's future."
Old Liu understood that his son was the most promising one with the hope of moving up the ladder. If he was greedy for money and made trouble in such matters, he would really be a drag on his family.
He quickly lit a cigarette and said, "I'll do it right away. By the way, if there really is such treasure, you'd better hide it well. Otherwise, when the news gets back to Yaowang Manor, the treasure will run away."
Qi Changxiao certainly understood what he meant. Treasures will not grow legs, but greedy human hearts will help treasures grow legs.
He reminded: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
After Old Liu left, Qi Changxiao looked at his watch. It was almost ten o'clock in the morning. Xiao Jin and the others should have arrived at Baibo Village, right?
No matter what, he had done his best. He turned around and walked back to the clinic, found out Zhang Mingli's ward, and rushed over directly.

Baibo Village.
Li Zhiqiang was dozing off when he suddenly felt a chill on his ankle. Without hesitation, he immediately grabbed the bamboo pillow under his head and hit his ankle.
Yiyi, however, took the lead, shot up, and headed straight for his face.
In order to prevent this man from giving orders to other tomb robbers, Yiyi had to capture the leader first.
It directly wrapped around Li Zhiqiang's neck and knocked him unconscious.
Almost at the same time, Yao Weihua and Lu Henian drove their cars into the territory of Yicheng. After driving another ten kilometers, they would enter the city.
Yao Weihua stopped at a gas station at the intersection and used the toilet.
When he came out of the bathroom, he saw a familiar face.
He frowned and walked forward, looking at the man he hadn't seen for several years, and said with disdain: "Why are you here?"
