Song Shiting looked up and saw Song Shirong.
Song Shirong smiled gently and said, "Third brother, is your injury healed? What are you doing here?"
As he spoke, he walked towards Song Shiting.
Song Shiting looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes.
With a calm gaze, Song Shirong looked at Song Shiting and said, "My vacation here is almost over, and I'm about to go back. Before I go back, I'd like to have a meal with you."
Is Song Shirong really that good?
Song Shiting's eyes were cold as he said directly, "I'm busy."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Song Shirong.
Song Shirong wasn't angry, and asked, "Third brother, what do you mean? Do you think family ties are worthless?"
Song Shiting didn't turn around, but a voice came from behind him: "Do you really hate your family that much in your heart? You need to understand that your parents gave you life."
Song Shirong's words only made things worse. Song Shiting suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Song Shirong coldly.
Song Shirong paused for a moment under his gaze, but a smile still played on his lips as he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Song Shiting smiled mockingly, but instead of asking whether there was anything wrong with his question, he asked, "Do you think there's any kind of kinship between you and me?"
Song Shirong smiled very elegantly, but to Ruan Qingling, his eyes looked like those of a wolf in sheep's clothing.
A forced smile!
Song Shirong said, "In my heart, you are my younger brother."
Some people really do lie without even blinking or thinking.
Song Shiting was too lazy to continue talking to Song Shirong.
It seemed as if Song Shirong only noticed Ruan Qingling's bleeding foot at this moment, and said in surprise, "So sister-in-law is injured. I was just wondering why you two were being all lovey-dovey on the road. It turns out it's because your foot is injured. How did you get injured?"
His surprised expression looked completely fake to Ruan Qingling!
Ruan Qingling's foot injury wasn't too serious. She stood up with Song Shiting's help, but because her foot was bleeding, she couldn't move around easily.
Song Shiting was worried that she would bleed if she moved, so he said, "Don't move around, or you'll bleed again."
Ruan Qingling: "You can't hug me now, I'll hurt your injury."
Song Shiting insisted, holding the person down: "You can stay still, nothing will happen."
Song Shiting left with Ruan Qingling.
Song Shirong smiled knowingly.
Song Shiting quickly discovered that the unlicensed van had been abandoned on a slope outside the city wall.
The driver had long since disappeared, and the wrecked van actually belonged to Zhao Mei's cousin, Zhao Zhigao.
Ruan Qingling received the news the next afternoon. Because of his injured foot, Song Shiting asked Lao Wu's wife for help while he went out to investigate the case.
Ruan Qingling always felt that Song Shiting was willing to bleed and fight to the death on his own, but unwilling to let his woman work herself to death.
Looking down at her feet, she realized they weren't that serious; compared to Song Shiting's injury, they were nothing.
Song Shiting sat down, took a sip of water, and said strangely, "This matter is a bit different from what I thought."
Ruan Qingling asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Song Shiting then revealed his thoughts: "The clues point to Zhao Mei's relatives, and we can't find Zhao Zhigao now; we don't know where he's hiding."
So, does that mean Zhao Zhigao has fled to avoid punishment?
Zhao Zhigao? Zhao Mei's cousin? Was this clue obtained by Zhao Mei's side?
Ruan Qingling asked, "Besides these clues, are there any other clues?"
Song Shiting shook his head: "That's all for now."
Ruan Qingling frowned slightly. Something seemed right, yet not quite right. She said, "It seems like there's no problem, but it also seems like there is a problem."
Song Shiting looked at her and asked, "What's the problem?"
Ruan Qingling: "If it were Zhao Mei, would she be so foolish as to go looking for her own relatives? Has she become so arrogant that she doesn't care anymore?"
This is clearly a case of "protesting too much."
Although what Zhao Mei did was very obvious, this was definitely not her usual way of doing things.
Ruan Qingling's words made some sense, and it was exactly what Song Shiting had guessed: this matter should not have much to do with Zhao Mei.
Song Shiting suddenly stood up.
Ruan Qingling looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Song Shiting said, "Go investigate the other person."
After saying that, he was already outside. He had to be quick, otherwise the other party might escape unscathed.
However, Song Shiting walked to the door and turned back to say, "If your foot is inconvenient, don't go to class. Anyway, I'll have the spot you want later."
Because he was in a hurry, Song Shiting quickly walked outside after saying those words.
Ruan Qingling frowned slightly. Song Shiting should have been taking good care of his injuries this time, but instead... he was even more exhausted.
She called out from behind, "Take care of your injury, and don't walk too fast."
Song Shiting had already gone outside. He could still hear what Ruan Qingling said. He didn't reply, but he felt a strange warmth in his heart.
...
However, when Song Shiting arrived at the bureau, another matter awaited him.
He had been searching for who had cut off the cow's tail, and in the afternoon, someone actually came forward to confess.
This person is from the village next door. It is said that he cut off the cow's tail because he couldn't stand the cow eating their vegetables.
But he didn't know that the cow, with its tail cut off, would run wildly into the road and hurt people.
Song Shiting squinted at the person who had come to surrender.
The other person sat obediently with his eyes downcast and his back straight. Only his hands, which were slightly clenched on his knees, betrayed his nervousness.
Zhao Dongsheng was particularly annoyed with him and wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
"Now that someone has turned themselves in, the case can be closed."
Song Shiting disagreed: "It can't end like this yet."
Zhao Dongsheng asked, "It can't end here. What do you want? This man has already turned himself in, and you still don't believe him?" Song Shiting walked directly to the man's side, staring at him with hawk-like eyes: "You said you cut off the cow's tail with a knife?"
The person who came was surnamed Gao, and he was the third in his family. He was called Gao San.
When Song Shiting asked him a question, he was stunned.
Then, he gestured with his hand: "Grab the cow's tail and chop it off directly."
Song Shiting stared intently at him with his sharp eyes and asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I'm sure, that's exactly what I did," the senior student nodded, but the more he spoke, the more guilty he felt.
Song Shiting reached out and pulled him up.
The senior high school student trembled with fear.
They were pulled out, cowering in fear.
Song Shiting asked, "What kind of knife are you holding?"
