Chapter 177 Salvaging Evidence
"Since she writes in her diary every day and doesn't hide it, will she carry the latest diary with her?"
"We didn't find it on her body that year. Did it fall into the pond?"
Xia Xian's eyes lit up and she put forward her own idea.
Of course, this is something that people easily think of. They had thought of this back then, so they asked many people to go down to the pond to salvage. They almost drained the water out of the pond. They searched bit by bit, but still found nothing.
"The paper became a mess after being soaked in water, and nothing could be seen. And after so many years, it would be useless even if it was salvaged now."
Shen You wanted Xia Xian to give up and stop doing those useless things. They had tried every possible method they could think of back then, but to no avail.
They almost searched the road that Tao Ruxin had walked, but couldn't find it. They even offered a reward. If anyone picked up her notebook and handed it over to them, they could get 100 yuan!
This is already a lot of money. If someone picked it up, they would definitely not take a useless notebook and not exchange it for money. So no one picked up the notebook, and no one knows where it went.
Quan Ruifeng could be easily cleared of the charge of murder, but he could never be cleared of the charge of seducing his childhood friend’s fiancée. He has been following them like a shadow all these years, and in the hearts of the Yue and Tao families, he will always be a sinner!
However, it is enough for his family to believe him, and there is no need to make unnecessary proofs. Justice is in the hearts of the people.
So in the end, Quan Ruifeng himself gave up looking for answers and focused on solving other cases.
However, after listening to what Shen You said, Xia Xian not only did not give up her idea, but became more determined!
"Since you also think that the notebook is in the pond, no matter what state it is in after it is fished out, or whether the handwriting on it can be clearly seen, I will find a way to find it!"
"What if I can see it clearly? It is more important than anything else to clear Quan Ruifeng's name and resolve his emotional issues!"
She wants to teach Yue Hangyi a lesson. He will always owe Quan Ruifeng!
Quan Ruifeng had never done anything wrong to him!
"Well, if you want to find it, then go ahead."
You won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. Chen You also understands this feeling. She did not comment. After all, this is Xia Xian and Quan Ruifeng's business, and they don't need to interfere.
"Did he hold anything in his hands when he met Quan Ruifeng that day? I didn't see it in the file. The only thing salvaged was a body, nothing else."
Xia Xian continued to ask. Logically speaking, since she was planning to let Quan Ruifeng take her to find Yue Hangyi, even if she didn't bring any luggage, she wouldn't go empty-handed. She would at least bring some souvenirs or something. This is etiquette. Even a piece of candy or a bag of biscuits is much better than going empty-handed.
But she had nothing on her.
"I don't know. Ruifeng didn't pay attention either. After all, he wanted to avoid suspicion and didn't even look at her, so naturally he didn't know that much."
In short, all the details of that year are in these files. Unless you ask the late Tao Ruxin or Quan Ruifeng, he won’t know anything else.
"All right."
This is also a problem.
Since asking would not give her any more information, Xia Xian decided to just give it a try. She rolled up her sleeves and without saying a word asked Zhou Xingshi and the others to take her to the pond. She wanted to take a look at it for herself and also fish in some fish.
She had prepared the clothes and bamboo pole.
The two men couldn't persuade her, so they had to agree and took her to the pond.
Because several years have passed, everyone has forgotten about this incident and children dare to come to this place to play. There are still some lotus roots and lotus flowers growing in the pond, but they are all wilted and lifeless. The lotus roots have all been pulled out and these plants have been severely damaged.
When Xia Xian and her friends arrived, they saw two children sitting on a wooden board, using it as a boat, floating back and forth in the pond. They were simply risking their lives!
The water in this pond is very deep! Even an adult can be drowned, let alone little kids like them. Zhou Xingshi immediately lowered his face to scare them.
"Whose children are you? What are your parents' names? Which school do you go to? Who told you to come here to play? And you dare to go into the water? Do you want to die?"
"If this board flips over, I think you will all die here today!"
He was so aggressive that he snatched Xia Xian's bamboo stick and wanted to hit the two little brats on the head.
But these two naughty kids were not afraid at all. They even stuck out their tongues and made faces at Zhou Xingshi.
"Which school are you from? Are you a teacher? Why do you control us? Besides, we can swim, so we are not afraid even if we fall!"
“Lululu!”
One of the little kids pulled his mouth with both hands and stuck out his tongue, making a slight face with a rather smug expression. However, both of his hands had left the board and he was moving. Without holding on to the board, he had no way to keep his balance. As soon as he finished making the face, he fell into the water with a splash!
Two children, each occupying one end of the board, fell down. The board lost its weight, and the child on the other side naturally couldn't keep his balance and fell into the water with a splash.
"Hey, hey, hey, look, I can swim! I'm really good at it!"
"I can do that, too!"
Both naughty kids fell into the water, but they were not angry or afraid. Instead, they looked proud and showed them their swimming skills.
It really makes me want to bite!
Stephen Chow actually wanted to jump into the water to rescue the two naughty kids. He was relieved to see that they could really swim, but he still angrily slapped the water surface with the bamboo pole.
"Are you guys going to come up or not?"
"No! Lululu, come down and catch us if you can!"
This little bear deserves a beating!
Zhou Xing was so angry that he took off his shoes and shirt, and really went into the water to catch the two men. When he caught them, he would spank them severely to punish them!
"Come and chase us, you won't be able to catch us!"
The two naughty kids were not afraid of death and were even provoking Zhou Xingshi. When they saw him jump down, they kept swimming towards the center of the pond, their short legs tumbling very fast.
You can never teach people, but you can learn things once you teach them.
Xia Xian didn't bother to pay attention to the two naughty kids and turned to ask Shen You.
"Do you remember where she fell? And where she was salvaged from? I'll go down and take a look. I can swim, too."
"It's in front. I'll take you there."
This pond is quite large. Chen You took Xia Xian forward for a few dozen meters and pointed out a location to her. She has always had a good memory, and even after so long, she still remembers it clearly.
"She didn't float to the center. She was nearby."
"We searched the entire pond. If you really want to find it, you can look for it in the cracks and use a bamboo pole to dig up the mud underneath to see if there is anything covered."
Shen You was giving advice seriously.
"good."
Xia Xian still listened to this advice. She jumped in without saying a word!
