After cycling all the way back to the city, Xu Guiying's feet were practically sparking with exhaustion, so she went straight to Chenguang Park.
Song Anmin went along too.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Song Anmin remained calm throughout the journey.
Only Song Yun and the staff member helping out were in the store; Mo Hong should be at work.
When Song Yun saw Xu Guiying, she saw that she had a serious expression and a stern face, as if she was about to chop someone up.
Song Yun was startled and led the person to the back yard. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Xu Guiying's expression darkened slightly. "Third Sister, I need to speak with Mo Hong. Will he come over after get off work?"
Song Yun frowned and said, "If I get off work on time, I usually come over. Sister-in-law, what happened?"
Xu Guiying sighed, "I have a relative whose wife drowned more than ten years ago. The cause of death was a bit strange. I want to ask Mo Hong about it."
Song Yun was extremely surprised, "Which relative of yours is it?"
Song Yun had never heard of her sister-in-law's family having connections.
Xu Guiying pursed her lips. "I'll tell you all about the family members who got separated from me when Mo Hong arrives."
Song Yun nodded quickly, "Okay."
"Third sister, you go ahead and do your work. I'll sit here for a while."
Song Anmin was standing in the shop when he saw his third aunt come out. He quickly asked, "Third aunt, what happened to my mother?"
Song Yun shook her head. "Are you hungry? Your third aunt will cook you a bowl of dumplings."
Song Anmin rubbed his stomach. "Eat, I'm hungry."
A few days after Mo Hong met the Song family, he took Song Yun to meet his parents.
Mo Hong's parents were easy to talk to, came from a scholarly family, and had a pleasant home atmosphere. They even invited Song Yun to bring Song Xiaoxiao over to visit whenever she had time.
Mo Hong still comes to the shop to help out after get off work, and he brought up marriage with Song Yun the day before yesterday.
Song Yun felt it was a bit early and wanted to spend more time together to see how things went.
Mo Hong agreed and didn't force Song Yun to make a decision.
Around 6:30, Mo Hong appeared on time.
Song Yun pulled Mo Hong aside and said with a serious expression, "My sister-in-law is behind us. She wants to ask you something about the case."
Mo Hong raised an eyebrow slightly. "Alright, I'll go take a look."
Song Yun was worried and said, "I'll go with you."
This was the first time Song Anmin had met his aunt's boyfriend. He had no idea who he was meeting before, and he stared wide-eyed as the man went to the back.
Song Anmin quickly followed.
Xu Guiying finally saw him and reached out to shake hands with Mo Hong. "Officer Mo, I'd like to ask you for a favor, something I'd like to consult you about."
Mo Hong: "Sister-in-law, just call me by my name. There's no need to be so polite among family. You go first and tell me what's going on."
Xu Guiying spoke calmly, first explaining her relationship with Xu Songyuan, and then her relationship with Xu Zhongtang's family.
Chen Zhi's death was mentioned last.
"Sixteen years have passed. I learned this information from Cao Dashan. The first time Cao Dashan saw Xu Zhongtang trying to bully Chen Zhi, he probably failed and that's why Xu Zhongtang stole the silver bracelet. The second time, Cao Dashan saw it again. Xu Zhongtang failed to bully Chen Zhi, and there were people nearby. He probably pushed her into the water because he was afraid Chen Zhi would scream."
"The witness is Cao Dashan, and the physical evidence is that silver bracelet."
Mo Hong narrowed his eyes slightly. "Where is the silver bracelet now?"
"The silver bracelet is currently in a silver shop in town. The craftsman can testify that Xu Zhongtang brought it to sell, and he can also confirm that the bracelet was given to Chen Zhi more than ten years ago. The night before, my brother overheard Xu Zhongtang's family talking, and in their conversation, they implied that Chen Zhi's death was related to them."
After speaking, Xu Guiying was somewhat nervous. She looked at Mo Hong, waiting for him to continue.
Mo Hong pursed his lips. "Cao Dashan is an idiot. Even if you say he was sober at the time, you can't completely believe what he says. As for the silver bracelet, at most we can only conclude that Xu Zhongtang snatched it from Chen Zhi. There is no evidence to prove that Xu Zhongtang was involved in the drowning incident."
This is precisely what made Xu Guiying hesitate.
Based solely on Cao Dashan's one-sided statement, the evidence is insufficient.
After hearing this, Song Yun's eyes widened in anger.
Although they are just cousins, they still share the same bloodline, yet they did such a beastly thing!
He killed someone's wife, tricked her into participating in a drug trial, robbed her of her money, and now he wants to raise money for his daughter's dowry!
That's incredibly shameless!
He should be dragged out and shot!
Song Anmin was also stunned. No wonder his uncle and mother had those expressions; anyone could bear it!
The Xu Zhongtang family is all bad; it turns out the whole family knew about Chen Zhi's affair but kept it a secret for so many years!
Song Anmin clenched his fists in anger, still wanting his uncle's life to scrape together money for that bitch Xu Xue!
Song Anmin had contact with several women over time.
Compared to Xu Xue, Liu Aimei and Jiang Hong are simply no match!
Mo Hong added, "If there were other witnesses or physical evidence at the crime scene besides Cao Dashan that could prove Xu Zhongtang's involvement, the police could arrest the suspect first. Once arrested, a little interrogation would reveal his true colors."
Xu Guiying frowned. "Cao Da Sha?"
Mo Hong nodded. "You all said he's an idiot and doesn't remember clearly, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so many years to tell your brother. Maybe there was still evidence left at the crime scene."
"Xu Zhongtang discovered him and threatened him not to tell anyone."
"The two had contact."
Xu Guiying felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She hissed, "I'll go back and ask about the details of the scene later."
Song Yun frowned. "Can we call the police first?"
Mo Hong looked at Xu Guiying and said, "When the town reports a crime, there is usually a coordinated effort. Xu Xue's fiancé is the son of the town's party secretary. Only after the town reports the crime will it be reported to the county or district authorities, and then the criminal investigation team will be dispatched."
"If you find any clues, have your brother report it to the Min'an District Police Station."
Luo'an Town is under the jurisdiction of Min'an District.
Xu Guiying nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Mo Hong added, "I'll be off the day after tomorrow. I'll go with you to Luo'an Town and ask Cao Dashan."
Xu Guiying asked in surprise, "Is this alright?"
After all, the police haven't been called yet.
Mo Hong smiled, "It's just helping to find evidence, there's nothing wrong with that."
Song Anmin quickly said, "Mom, I want to go too!"
