"Can you read?" Yuan Mengge asked, noticing the expression on her face as she looked at the paper.
Wang Meiting nodded.
Yuan Mengge: "That's fine then, I'm leaving."
She then rode her bicycle away from the hotel.
The reason she left Zheng Shaoying's information with Wang Meiting was because she knew what situation Wang Meiting would encounter next.
Although it's unknown whether she will choose this path, it's good that she has another option.
She was a young woman who had been missing for so long. Suddenly, she returned home covered in injuries. Even if she didn't say anything, her family members, unless they were completely stupid, would guess what had happened to her.
If her family is well, that's certainly a good thing.
However, given Yuan Mengge's understanding of this era and the local environment, there aren't many families who truly care about their daughter.
Initially, people might cherish the feeling of getting something back for a while, but as time goes on, this feeling gradually fades, and they will slowly change their attitude in the face of gossip from others.
Wang Meiting probably couldn't figure out why she would give her such a piece of paper, but Yuan Mengge also hoped that she wouldn't need it.
That evening, Yuan Mengge went back and took everything out of the suitcase, then wrote information on each item and packed them into separate bags.
After packing, she went back to her dorm to sleep.
The next morning, Wang Meiting got up early, took the money Yuan Mengge gave her, and went straight to the station by taxi.
There were breakfast vendors at the station entrance, so she bought some to fill her stomach before going into the station to buy a ticket for the first bus home.
After a two- or three-hour drive, Wang Meiting finally returned home.
Her family lived in the town of Sanxian County. They were not well-off and lived in a poor neighborhood on the outskirts of the town.
When she knocked on her own door, she saw her shocked family.
When her family saw her suddenly reappear after disappearing for three years, and that she was covered in injuries, they were all excited and asked her where she had been for the past three years and how she had ended up like this.
The mother's concern was genuine, but the father and siblings' eyes didn't show much concern. They were more concerned about what had happened to her and why she was covered in injuries.
"Why are you covered in injuries? What happened to you? What did someone do to you? What happened to the injury on your foot?" Wang's father looked her over, his brows furrowed, his eyes showing no pity, only dissatisfaction and suspicion.
Wang Meiting naturally didn't want to say anything; she just kept wiping away her tears and crying.
The mother interrupted the father, "Is this the time to ask these questions? Let's go find the village doctor to come and take a look at her foot injury!"
Wu Meiting's siblings were all curious and wondering why she had become like this.
The village doctor was called in to examine her foot injury. The doctor told Wang's parents that the injury was likely caused by something being stuck on it for a long time.
These words immediately made Wang's parents think of something, and both of them showed a rather unpleasant expression.
But he didn't say anything in front of Wang Meiting.
However, a few days later, Wang Meiting heard her parents arguing in their room.
"She's been missing for three years... and she still has those kinds of injuries on her body... she must have been kidnapped and sold into marriage..."
"So what if she was kidnapped and forced to be someone's wife? It's already a miracle she came back alive! What more do you want?"
"She's been kidnapped and given away to be another man's wife... What's the point of her coming back? Is she just here to embarrass us? We might as well let her die out there..."
"How can you say such a thing? Are you even her father? Your daughter has suffered so much, and all you care about is your own face?"
"Did I say something wrong? If she hadn't run around everywhere, would she have been kidnapped? She deserved to be kidnapped because she was disobedient... Now look what's happened, who would be willing to pay a bride price to marry her? I bet apart from that mute guy at the end of the village, no one would want her!"
Hearing these words made Wang Meiting feel even more distressed than when she was being abused and assaulted by Wu Zhendong.
She never imagined that after escaping hardship and returning home, she would be treated like this.
It seems she won't be able to stay in this house anytime soon.
After finishing her classes for the day, Yuan Mengge secretly threw the pile of evidence and the murder weapon into the Niutou Town Police Station that evening.
The police officers at the local station, who had been extremely busy these past two days because of the skull incident, had investigated all three items, but there hadn't been much progress. Then, one morning, they discovered that someone had delivered a strange bag.
The person who delivered it this time was the owner of the shop next door.
The shop owner said that when he opened the shop early in the morning, he found the bag at his door with a note on it, asking him to hand it over to the police station next door.
The police officers at the local police station were quite familiar with the shop owner, so they didn't doubt his words too much.
The important thing is that the person delivered much more this time than the day before yesterday.
And what's more! They even sent the murder weapon!
Whether these are murder weapons or not, they need to be sent to the county's public security forensic department for identification to find out.
This time, more items and a lot of information were delivered.
In addition to the deceased's belongings, the murder weapon was also found, along with a burial address.
In particular, the murder weapon was found at the home of a man named Wu Zhendong in Dahe Village.
Having a suspected criminal makes things much easier.
The police immediately arranged two teams of officers. One team sent plainclothes officers to the village to investigate Wu Zhendong, while the other team went to check the burial site written on the note.
Plainclothes police officers went to Wu Zhendong's home to conduct an investigation, but they did not find him at home.
But they found something strange in his house.
The villagers said he didn't have a wife, but they often heard a woman screaming in his house.
Furthermore, there were women's items in the room.
Meanwhile, several police officers went to a rubber plantation behind Dahe Village, which was in a relatively remote location.
The police officers from the local police station came to check with some skepticism, after all, they couldn't completely believe the contents of an anonymous note.
But they couldn't ignore it, so they went to the location above to search.
Now that we know it's the place where the body was buried, finding what we need is relatively easy.
Land that has been dug up and then reburied will always leave traces, no matter how much time has passed.
After an hour of thorough searching, someone suddenly shouted, "Found it!!!"
Upon hearing this, the director immediately went over.
Sure enough, they found a skeletonized corpse buried in the ground.
The body had been completely decomposed by the soil, leaving only clothes and bones, but there was still a strong stench of decay in the soil.
After the first body was unearthed, everyone's expression changed slightly, which proved that the person who anonymously delivered the evidence was right!
