Chapter 241: Shallow Pond with Many Turtles



However, Shi Xiu waited and waited but never saw the figure she was expecting. It was not until the sky began to brighten that she hurried back home. She had to pretend that she had been sleeping at home, otherwise it would be difficult to explain if something really happened.

Her dream of making a fortune was shattered. You know, they had agreed yesterday that if Brother Qiang succeeded, he would give her at least one-third of the money. According to Wang Ji, Li Tong, a lady from a wealthy family, must have got at least several hundred dollars!

Wouldn't she be able to get two or three hundred yuan? You have to know that their family can only save a few dozen yuan a year after living frugally. Sometimes when the harvest is bad or someone is sick, they have to pay extra money! This amount of money is a huge sum for her.

What a pity, Shi Xiu, lying in bed, cursed and swore at this so-called Brother Qiang, saying he was not reliable at all.

However, things went against his wishes. After Gao Qiang slipped out of the educated youth camp, he changed his direction after just a little thought. That ugly woman was definitely a vicious woman. It would be better to have less contact with her in the future. So, it would be better not to see her. As for the money in his hand, wouldn't it be better to spend it himself? Besides, he had "borrowed" it at such a big risk.

In this way, the three people in the police station each had their own thoughts, but the real criminal had already escaped.

Wang Ji seemed to be confessing everything, telling how much he loved Li Tong, how he had been entangled with her, and even what malicious intentions he had in mind. After all, he hadn't done anything substantively illegal. However, he hadn't revealed his conspiracy with Gao Qiang. He wasn't stupid.

As for Shi Xiaomei, she was even safer. She was basically ruled out as a suspect simply because she left a little late and described in detail what happened after she returned home at night. The forensic doctor determined that Li Tong died in the second half of the night, and judging from Li Tong's final condition, he must have been beaten. It was impossible for Shi Xiaomei to have that kind of strength to kill someone and still be unharmed.

When Shi Xiu was questioned, she just kept crying, as if she was in a state of panic. She looked pitiful and acted like a timid and cowardly village girl. She didn't reveal anything, but during the investigation, she couldn't explain why she suddenly went to the educated youth site and stayed there for so long. She just mumbled and said she went out to play...

In the end, several people were sent back, but with very different moods.

Seeing the three people coming back, the villagers became excited again, and the many malicious guessers were slapped in the face.

However, Shi Xiu's appearance, as if she had just returned from a victorious battle, made Chu Xi, who was hiding and watching the excitement, feel disgusted. With her little intelligence, she guessed that this matter must be related to her, otherwise she wouldn't have such an expression. Chu Xi wouldn't mind stabbing her if she found any useful clues...

Only Shi Xiaomei was in a daze, as if she had lost her soul. Indeed, one of her few good friends, such a beautiful girl with a good family background, was gone just like that, and she didn't know if she had been bullied before.

What a sin! Misfortune always comes to the poor people. God is so unfair!

"Look at Xiaomei, has she been criticized? She must have done something bad..."

"That shouldn't be the case. This person is back."

"Who knows? She might deny it even if she's beaten to death. Anyway, she's the most likely person. She left so late that no one knows what she did..."

Everyone has returned, but these malicious people are still pointing fingers and making comments. Are they presuming guilt?

I don't know if it's because ugly people are more likely to cause trouble, or is it because shallow ponds have more turtles?
