"Brother Meng, why did you come to see me...?" Li Chu was a little confused as to why he would come to him about something like this, since he didn't know how to solve cases.
"Let me finish," Zhang Meng waved his hand.
"This guy was out committing crimes again last Friday night."
"Holy crap!" Li Chu almost cursed. This guy was ruthless. With the situation so tense, he still dared to defy the odds.
"However, the power plant has increased its patrols because of what happened before, so the guy was discovered by the patrol team as soon as he drugged the woman and before he could do anything to her. He ran away as soon as he saw this."
The patrol team split into two groups: one group chased after the fleeing man, while the other group stayed behind to guard the scene and report the incident.
Believe it or not, those team members actually caught a suspect.
"Why did they identify that person as a suspect?" Li Chu was now just listening to the story.
"Because on their way to catch him, the guy who was running jumped over a wall. He probably didn't notice that there were shards of glass on the wall, and he cut himself somewhere. There were a few drops of blood on the wall and on the ground."
The patrol team caught the man in a toilet near that wall. He had a wound on his arm, several centimeters long, which looked like it had just reopened.
"Then what?"
"After we brought this person back to the station, we interrogated him. The young man surnamed Fu who was arrested refused to admit it no matter what. He said he was going to steal something from somewhere, but he couldn't say where the wound on his arm was cut."
Tests showed the blood on the wall matched his blood type; both were type A. But he kept insisting he was innocent.
After a pause, Zhang Meng continued, "To be honest, I'm a little uneasy. I don't want to let criminals go unpunished, but I also don't want to wrongly accuse anyone. If it's determined that this guy surnamed Fu committed the crime, he's doomed. But if he only stole something, then he doesn't deserve to die."
"So, Meng-ge, what are you planning to do now?"
"Actually, I don't know what I should do either," Zhang Meng said, spreading his hands.
"Did you check where this person surnamed Fu was when the previous five cases occurred?"
"The key is that even he himself can't explain it clearly."
"What did he use to commit the crime? For example, how did he drug those women?"
Zhang Meng didn't speak, he just shook his head.
At this moment, Li Chu's eyes revealed a hint of fear when she looked at him.
"No way, Brother Meng, you're already going to finalize the case without any evidence?"
"Sigh, that's why I think he might be wrongly accused. But it's been more than half a year since the first case was filed this year, and everyone is exhausted. Plus, there's a deadline, so..."
"We can't just do whatever we want. What if, I mean, what if, after we knock this person's head off, the real culprit reappears? How are you going to explain that?"
While Li Chu was discussing matters with Zhang Meng, Li Wenxuan's wedding procession had already arrived at Uncle Wang's house.
However, Wang Yueyue's house door has already been blocked by several of her best friends.
The other party's request wasn't difficult: either you and the others who came to pick up the bride drink all three cases of liquor, or you do as they ask.
Three cases of baijiu, or even Erguotou. If they really finish drinking it all, the wedding party won't have to do anything else; they can just find a place to sleep.
Even giving red envelopes didn't work; the women blocking the door waved their hands, saying that no amount of red envelopes would help.
This really stumped people.
"Tell me what you need me to do to open the door," Li Wenxuan said through gritted teeth, looking at his wife's girlfriends outside the door.
"Hey, Li Wenxuan, you seem pretty unconvinced," a girl who looked to be under twenty said, hands on her hips.
"Then just drink! It's that simple!"
"No, no, no!" Li Wenxuan quickly waved his hand. "Little Miss, just tell me what you need me to do?"
This girl is quite the little devil; no one in this compound dares to mess with her.
The door was slammed open from the inside.
Wang Yueyue, dressed in a red wedding gown, appeared behind the door.
"Tong Ling, you're not allowed to bully Wenxuan!"
"No way, Sister Yueyue, you're already protecting her before she's even married into the family."
Li Wenxuan was staring at his wife with wide eyes.
He knew that Wang Yueyue had learned to make clothes from his mother and was going to make a wedding dress for him.
But they kept it a secret from him and never let him see it. This was the first time he had seen the finished product.
The bright red wedding dress made Wang Yueyue's face look rosy.
"This is my man, if I don't protect him, who will! Let me tell you, Tong Ling, don't forget, you're not married yet!"
Wang Yueyue's words drew cheers from downstairs, while Li Qiaoyun, who had been standing at the top of the stairs looking up, shook her head helplessly.
I've never seen a daughter so fierce.
"Old Wang, your granddaughter is quite something!"
Downstairs in the living room, five or six elderly people were sitting on the sofa. One of them spoke to Uncle Wang.
"The two kids grew up together and have a really good relationship." Uncle Wang smiled broadly, clearly in a very good mood.
"Hey, wasn't it said that the Li family has a boy and a girl? How old is that girl?"
The person who asked this question was an old man who had recently retired and returned to Beijing.
"They're twins!"
"You're of marriageable age now, haven't you asked someone out yet?"
"Old Dong, don't even think about it. That girl is already engaged to Old Chen's grandson."
The old man, known as Old Dong, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Uncle Wang.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"You actually agreed to this?"
"Hey, it's someone else's daughter. She can marry whoever she wants. What do you mean I can agree to that?"
"Everyone knows your relationship with Quanyou. What's the difference between his son and your son? I don't believe he would marry off his daughter without consulting you."
"Old Dong, Old Wang and Old Chen are on good terms now, I reckon Old Chen will be going over today too."
The person who was speaking also glanced at Uncle Wang.
"We should go over there, but I didn't ask for the specifics." At this point, Uncle Wang glanced at the clock on the wall and then called out loudly, "Jianshe, go and make arrangements. We'll go over first, and let them play here. The children aren't having enough fun sitting here with us old folks."
That's right. After the people upstairs found out that the old folks downstairs had gone over first, the laughter and chatter grew even louder.
Upstairs, the young men from the two courtyards stood up from Li Wenxuan's back with smiles on their faces.
Xu Yang and another person quickly helped Li Wenxuan, who had been lying on the ground, to his feet.
Two young men were sitting on his back, and Wenxuan managed to do ten push-ups while carrying them, which really exhausted him.
Li Qiaoyun, who was watching from the bottom of the stairs, tugged at Wang Jun's arm.
"Junzi, will everything be alright?"
"Don't worry, Lingling may be a little mischievous, but she knows her limits," Wang Jun said with a smile, looking upstairs.
