Chapter 209: The roots are not straight and the seedlings are not straight



The group was halfway through their meal when Xiao Liu unexpectedly came over to Song Zhiqing and whispered a few words in his ear. Then the two of them left the table for a while.

When he came back, Song Zhiqing's expression was obviously much more relaxed.

"What happened to Second Uncle?"

Song Zhiqing looked at Song Qi and said, "We have already found out all the information about Wang Donglai's family."

"What do you mean?"

Song Zhiqing pointed outside and whispered, "Let's talk somewhere else after dinner."

They immediately understood that he was afraid that there were eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall.

Could it be that there is someone in Chuan Xiaoxiang?

The few of them quickened their eating pace. After the meal, Song Zhiqing originally said they would go to his place, but thinking that it would be a bit far for Sun Jun to come back, they went to Sun Jun's residence.

A residential area very close to Chuan Xiaoxiang.

A red-walled building with two bedrooms. As soon as you enter the door, there is a large balcony with many large flower pots, but they do not contain flowers, but peppers and onions.

It was the first time that so many people came to Sun Jun's home. She warmly invited everyone to sit down in the living room and hurried to boil water.

"Auntie, please don't boil water. I just drank a lot of soda while eating. I can't drink water. Please stop working."

"Yes, Auntie, stop it. I can't drink it."

Sun Jun sat down only after being called by Ling Ju and Sun Yun in turn.

Song Zhiqing introduced the topic directly.

"Wang Donglai has an older brother named Wang Xilai, who is the uncle that Wang Donglai's wife Guiqin refers to. This Wang Xilai was just released from prison two years ago, and he was in prison for theft."

Sun Jun thought, "Then he might be the one in our store."

Song Zhiqing continued, "Wang Donglai's wife, Guiqin, was right. She did go back to her hometown in Henan and didn't return to Beijing until Wang Donglai was admitted to a second hospital for severe burns. She did borrow money from her hometown in Henan to pay for Wang Donglai's hospitalization, but the money went through Wang Xilai's hands."

"Wang Xilai did pay for Wang Donglai's medical expenses for a period of time, but the money was not spent. After Guiqin returned to Beijing, Wang Xilai never went to the hospital again. My people followed him for a few days and found that he went to a house in the north of the city every afternoon."

"That house is quite remote, and Wang Xilai is always very cautious every time he goes there."

"I originally thought it was a gambling den, but I didn't expect it to be a prostitution den."

Song Zhiqing paused here, looked at the female comrades and saw that they didn't seem to be showing any unusual behavior. He then continued, "As I said above, Wang Xilai went to solicit prostitution. I suspect that the medical expenses Guiqin gave Wang Xilai were also used by him as payment for prostitution."

"Wang Xilai also suggested that Guiqin go to the compound to cause trouble and ask me for money. My people also provided information that Wang Donglai has a serious tendency to domestic violence, so Guiqin's brain is not very good. The neighbors who live in their area know that Wang Donglai often beats his wife after drinking."

The corner of Ling Ju's mouth twitched. She hated people who beat their wives and bullied the weak the most.

"I now suspect that Wang Xilai was the one who caused Wang Donglai's burns, and the hospital records show that Wang Donglai's skin was later scalded by hot water.

Although it won't kill you, it's still painful enough. You'll probably have to live with these ugly scars for the rest of your life."

When Sun Yun heard this, she sneered, "Serves you right."

"However, the lost items were not found at Wang Xilai's residence. My people sneaked in to check while Wang Xilai was away, but they didn't find anything. Of course, it's also possible that he put it somewhere else or that he has accomplices."

Ling Ju thought of Wang Xilai and Wang Donglai's parents. "Is it possible that the accomplice is my parents? I always feel that there's something strange about that old couple. That day in the hospital, I didn't feel that they loved Wang Donglai at all, and they even scolded Guiqin. Guiqin's little girl was also pitiful and said nothing. She was so thin."

However, some of Guiqin's actions that day made Ling Ju understand. At that time, she thought Guiqin was acting or lying, but she didn't expect that she was not in a good mental state.

Song Zhiqing thought about it and told the truth, "Actually, Xiao Liu told me another thing, but I'm not sure if it's true."

"You said?"

Song Zhiqing pursed his lips. "Xiao Liu said that the Wang family's neighbors said that Wang Xilai raped Guiqin. But there's no evidence, it's all speculation. And Wang Xilai has always had a bad reputation. His parents doted on him, so he flirted with women, dropped out of elementary school, and spent his days hanging out on the streets, doing nothing serious."

Ling Ju sighed, "Loving a son is like killing him. Wang Xilai will soon get his comeuppance. But that Wang Donglai is no good either. He eats and eats for free and beats his wife. He has no moral integrity."

Sun Jun looked at Song Zhiqing's serious face and asked, "So what are you going to do next? Contact the police?"

Song Zhiqing thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle this privately. Now all we have to do is find the thief."

"Uncle, this incident has no impact on your work, right?" Sun Yun asked with concern.

Song Zhiqing shook his head, "It's okay, don't worry."

In fact, after this incident came out, his immediate superior asked him what happened, but before he could explain, the two brothers of the Yan family helped him finish what he was saying.

In the end, not only was he not scolded, but he was also comforted by his boss.

"Don't leak anything about our conversation, kitchen staff, front of house staff. Don't tell them anything about this. Also, carefully observe everyone for any abnormalities over the next few days."

Sun Jun nodded, "I understand. Yunyun, why don't you give those two guys a few days off to lure the snakes out of their holes? If they stay there all day, the snakes won't dare to come out."

"OK."

It was already nine o'clock when they left Sun Jun's house, and Ling Ju was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.
