Now is the time to show his skills, and Song Anmin is definitely going. After he finished speaking, he realized that no one was paying attention to him, so he awkwardly touched his nose.
Murder cases are too far removed from reality.
Song Yun reminded Xu Guiying and Mo Hong to be careful tomorrow.
Mo Hong smiled and said, "Luo'an Town is not so poor that it produces troublemakers, otherwise Xu Zhongtang would not have been able to keep it a secret for so long."
Xu Guiying thanked Mo Hong again and rode her bicycle back to Heping Lane.
This day has been exhausting.
Xu Guiying has been riding the same amount of bicycle as she would normally do in a month during this period.
Only Grandpa Song, Grandma Song, and Song Yangmin lived at home.
Grandpa Song quickly asked about the follow-up.
"Guiying, how is it?"
Xu Guiying narrowed her eyes slightly and told Chen Zhi directly. There was no point in hiding it. The old couple were cautious and wouldn't go around spreading rumors. They might even be able to help provide some ideas.
After Xu Guiying finished speaking, Grandma Song was speechless.
"Old man, the Xu Zhongtang family is too ruthless, even more vicious than bandits."
Grandpa Song's eyes were experienced yet sharp.
"Go there tomorrow, but don't provoke them."
With Mo Hong and Song Anmin following Xu Guiying, no matter how much trouble Xu Zhongtang caused, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly. But after they left, Xu Songyuan was left alone in Xingfu Village.
If Xu Zhongtang and his father were to harden their hearts again, they might be capable of killing someone again.
Xu Guiying's heart skipped a beat. "Dad, then I'll bring my brother back tomorrow."
Grandpa Song shook his head. "No, it's too unusual for Xu Songyuan to be away from home. It will arouse suspicion."
Grandpa Song frowned slightly. "I'll go with you tomorrow."
Grandma Song immediately said, "No way! With your old arms and legs, you can't even outrun them. You'll just be a hindrance!"
Old Master Song slapped his thigh and said, "How dare you talk like that? Who said I couldn't outrun them? At the time, I just pretended. It's not like I haven't been to Luo'an Town before. The Chinese herbal medicine market there wasn't very developed back then, and Wang Ergou often went there to play cards. I even went to Luo'an Town with his father to arrest people."
Xu Guiying also thought it wouldn't work, "Dad, with Mo Hong and Song Anmin with us, it should be fine."
The old man had already made up his mind: "Your objections are useless. Tomorrow I'll just pretend to be a passerby. There are only Chinese medicine wholesalers over there. What, do I have to know you?"
Xu Guiying tried to persuade him to no avail, so she had no choice but to borrow a bicycle for the old man.
Xu Guiying was thinking that she would buy a second-hand bicycle after this matter was over.
The couple takes turns riding this bicycle at home. Whoever has an urgent matter at work rides it, but Xu Guiying uses it most of the time.
That evening, Song Xinfu returned.
Upon hearing that even his father was going, he wanted to go too!
Xu Guiying: "No! There are too many people! If you go, people will suspect you. Let me tell you, you injured your knee before, and the doctor told you to take good care of it."
Song Xinfu frowned. "How could I be absent at such a crucial moment?! Even the third brother went!"
Xu Guiying laughed, "Alright, alright, Dad has already represented you, so you don't need to go."
Song Xinfu: "..."
The next morning, Mo Hong drove to Heping Lane.
The old man originally wanted to ride his bicycle, but Mo Hong pulled him onto the bike. "Dad... no, Uncle Song, you can just get on the bike. I'll stop in town and we can go to Xingfu Village one after the other."
Driving directly into the village would be too conspicuous.
Mo Hong's face was still a little red after he finished speaking.
The old man patted Mo Hong on the shoulder, "Alright, then I'll take the car. Mo Hong, we haven't gotten the marriage certificate yet, so let's wait a bit."
This time, both Grandma Song and Xu Guiying burst out laughing.
Song Anmin also arrived.
"Mom, is it just the two of us riding bicycles?"
Xu Guiying: "No one is forcing you if you don't want to ride."
Song Anmin quickly pedaled his bike to catch up, "...Mom, I was just saying it offhand."
...
After driving for about half an hour, the car was parked on the side of the road leading into Luo'an Town.
The old man got out of the car first, and more than ten minutes later, Mo Hong got out of the car. The two of them headed towards Xingfu Village.
Xu Guiying and Song Anmin arrived in Luo'an Town at 8:30. On their way to Xingfu Village, they saw the old man and Mo Hong, who were a few hundred meters apart.
The location and terrain have already been discussed in advance.
The old man was waiting at the teahouse at the village entrance, while Mo Hong was going to Cao Dashan's house later.
Xu Guiying and Song Anmin went directly to Xu Songyuan's house.
Xu Songyuan didn't go out that morning; he stayed home to wait for his eldest sister.
Upon seeing his elder sister and Song Anmin arrive, Xu Songyuan quickly invited them inside.
"Where are Xu Zhongtang's family? Did they go out?"
"Xu Zhongtang went to drive a tractor, Xu Xue went to work, and Xu Chenggang went to play cards on the street."
Xu Chenggang usually only goes to town when it's market day. He probably won money yesterday, so he went to town early this morning.
Xu Guiying didn't waste a minute and went straight to what Mo Hong had said yesterday.
"Let's go ask Cao Dashan if he has any more details today. Let's not let anyone see us. Find a side path and lead us there."
Xu Songyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Okay."
They went around the mountain and arrived behind Cao Dashan's house. Cao Dashan was sitting at the door when he suddenly heard a noise inside and turned around to go inside.
Before long, Mo Hong arrived outside Cao Dashan's house. He looked around and then took a small path behind the field ridge to go next to Cao Dashan's house before going inside.
When Cao Dashan saw so many people, he was so frightened that he trembled in the pigsty.
Fortunately, Cao Dashan knew Xu Songyuan, who quickly calmed him down and gave them two steamed buns to eat.
Xu Songyuan then looked at Mo Hong.
Mo Hong sat on a small stool opposite Cao Dashan.
After Cao Dashan calmed down, Mo Hong finally spoke:
“I know you witnessed Chen Zhi’s death.”
