Chapter 209 Sister Jia
Shanshui Haoting is one of the high-end villa estates in Xing City, and its residents are either wealthy or noble.
Because the east side of the city is far away from the urban area and the supporting facilities are not yet complete, the occupancy rate here is not very high. Many people buy villas and only come back to live there on weekends.
The security work of Shanshui Haoting is very good, and the access control is strict. Xia Mufan showed her police officer ID and explained her purpose. Only then did the security guard agree to let her bring people in.
With two wild cats leading the way, everyone soon arrived at Building 11 in Area B.
[It’s right here.] 】
[That ugly guy lives here.] 】
Coal Ash finally found someone, meowed, and squatted beside Xia Mufan. His eyes were wide open, staring at the gate of the villa, and he was determined to pounce and bite Sister Hua, who tortured and killed cats, as soon as she appeared.
Fa Cai spread his wings and flew high, circled the villa, and made a croaking sound in the air.
[There is no one in the yard.] 】
[The room was very quiet, as if no one was there. 】
Xue Gao sneezed, lowered his head uneasily, and made a low whimpering sound in his throat.
[The mint flavor is gone. 】
[The person is missing.] 】
Zhong Yinghong's car drove over and parked skillfully in the villa garage.
Zhong Yinghong took Liangliang's hand and got out of the car. She walked to Xia Mufan and pointed at the house behind them: "Does the person you are looking for live here?"
Xia Mufan did not give a direct answer, but looked at Zhong Yinghong with a probing look in his eyes: "You live here?"
Sister Hua and Liangliang live together?
Why did she bury Liangliang's dog alive?
Who is she to Zhong Yinghong?
Before Zhong Yinghong could say anything, Liangliang had already excitedly invited her: "Police sister, this is my home. Do you want to come over and have a seat?"
The villa is large and has a beautiful environment, but it is still too quiet for Liangliang, who loves the hustle and bustle. It was a rare occasion that so many people were standing in front of his house today, and they also helped him find the dead Lingling. Liangliang really wanted to invite them to his home to play.
Whenever Liangliang sees Xia Mufan surrounded by a dog, a cat and a bird, his eyes are filled with envy. In the minds of children, anyone who can live so harmoniously with small animals must be a very good person.
Zhong Yinghong opened the door: "Officer Xia, Liangliang and I live here, please come in."
The gate of the villa faces the community road. The arch columns of the porch imitate the Roman style. When you push open the door, you can see the huge living room. The milky white marble floor is shiny, and the crystal chandelier hanging above the head is crystal clear. The decoration is extremely luxurious. It can be seen that the owner of the villa is very rich.
Xia Mufan didn't sit down, but went straight to the point: "My dog followed the smell to your house. The person who killed Lingling should live here."
Zhong Yinghong was about to call the nanny to pour tea, but she was stunned when she heard Xia Mufan's words. She turned her head and looked at Xia Mufan: "My family? In my family, besides me, Liangliang, and my husband, there are usually only the driver and the nanny. They are all very good to Lingling and it is impossible for them to harm it."
Xia Mushige walked to a family photo, pointed at the man with a round face, thick lips and a big nose in the photo and asked, "Is this your husband?"
Zhong Yinghong said calmly, "Yes, my husband's surname is Jiang. He opened a foreign trade company and the business has been pretty good in recent years."
The business must be good, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford such a high-end villa, let alone decorate it so luxuriously. Xia Mufan looked around the layout of the villa and spotted the nanny coming out of the kitchen to pour tea for the guests. She was in her thirties, with a plain face and no scars on her face.
That's strange.
The wild cat saw with his own eyes that Sister Hua drove to the reservoir to catch cats. Ice cream also followed the smell and found Building 11 in Area B. However, there were only five people living in the villa. Where was Sister Hua?
Xia Mushige asked: "Has anyone else come to your house? His face was burned by the fire."
Zhong Yinghong shook her head: "I haven't seen anyone like this."
The nanny opened her mouth, but closed it again after looking at the hostess.
Noticing the nanny's micro-expression, Xia Mushi looked at her and said, "Have you seen this person?"
Zhong Yinghong glanced at the nanny and said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, tell the police. Don't hide it."
The nanny said: "Every two weeks, the gardening company would send people to prune the branches, apply fertilizer, and trim the lawn. The gardener had a scar on his face."
Xia Mushige asked: "Female?"
The nanny nodded: "Yes. She is not tall, but she is very careful in her work. She is busy in the yard for hours. Maybe because of the scar on her face, she doesn't like to talk and usually wears a hat."
Xia Mushige asked: "She has a car?"
The babysitter said, "There was a small white pickup truck."
When Zhong Yinghong saw Xia Mufan asking so carefully, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the gardener was the one who killed Lingling? She comes once a month, why have I never seen her?
When Zhong Yinghong thought of this, she felt a chill in her heart for some reason: "Did she come to our house yesterday? Did you let her in?"
The nanny also became nervous because of the hostess's tone: "Yes, she came yesterday morning. She said she was thirsty, so I let her in through the back door and poured her a glass of water."
Zhong Yinghong frowned and asked, "Yesterday morning? Why didn't I see it?"
The nanny clasped her hands together and said in a vague voice, "She came not long after you sent Liangliang to school. She left at eleven o'clock, and you hadn't returned from the city yet."
The villa is far from the city. Liangliang studies at the Red Scarf Primary School in the city center, and it takes forty to fifty minutes to drive there. Zhong Yinghong used to start a business with her husband. Now that the company is on the rise, she has returned home to become a full-time housewife. After sending Liangliang to school, she will walk around the city and meet friends for tea, chat, and go shopping.
Mr. Jiang Zheng is usually busy with work and goes out early and comes back late. Her son Jiang Jialiang goes to school during the day and does not get back until five in the afternoon. Zhong Yinghong usually spends more time with the nanny, and the house is only lively at night. Therefore, Zhong Yinghong has been feeling a little uncomfortable since she moved into the villa last year.
Hearing that the nanny knew the family better than she did, Zhong Yinghong felt very upset and said unhappily, "You are so kind that you let a gardener into the house."
Nanny Wang Xiuzhen could see that Zhong Yinghong was unhappy, and hurriedly explained: "The master usually doesn't talk much, she is just a person who works silently. She is very careful to park the car at the other end of the yard and never enters the house. It was a bit hot yesterday, she asked me for water to drink, I felt sorry for her, so... Madam, I was wrong, I shouldn't have let her into the house. But don't worry, she just stood at the back door and didn't dirty the floor."
Zhong Yinghong's face darkened: "Did she take Lingling away?"
Wang Xiuzhen hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, Lingling was playing by herself in the living room yesterday morning."
Zhong Yinghong also remembered that Lingling was lost when she was walking with Liangliang yesterday evening, so she snorted and turned to look at Xia Mufan: "Officer Xia, that gardener was sent by Dapeng Gardening Company. Is she the person you are looking for?"
Just now, when Zhong Yinghong was talking to the nanny, Xia Mufan had been listening attentively.
Coal Ash and the two little wild cats that led the way were already wandering around the yard behind the villa, meowing from time to time. Xue Gao squatted obediently at Xia Mufan's feet, motionless, with his ears perked up, alertly paying attention to everything here.
Hearing Zhong Yinghong's words, Xia Mufan nodded: "That's the person."
I never thought that Sister Hua would become a hard-working gardener and be so low-key?
Why did she burn the cat and provoke herself?
Why did she grab Lingling and bury her alive?
Why did she want to get close to the Jiang family's nanny? Is there any ulterior motive?
All kinds of doubts came to his mind, and Xia Mufan felt that everything in front of him was a mess. But all of this is not related and no inference can be made.
The most urgent task is to catch Sister Hua.
Thinking of this, Xia Mufan looked at Wang Xiuzhen: "What's her name? Have you ever talked to her? What did you talk about?"
Wang Xiuzhen licked her lips nervously. Zhong Yinghong raised her voice and reprimanded, "This man is the one who killed Lingling. Tell the police everything you know! If you hide anything, you can stop working in my house."
Wang Xiuzhen nodded hurriedly: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, Madam, please don't fire me."
Wang Xiuling didn't know the gardener's name. Every time she came, she would drive over alone with her tools and work hard. After finishing her work, she would say hello to Wang Xiuzhen and leave.
This year, the two gradually became familiar with each other and spoke a few times. She told Wang Xiuzhen her last name was Jia, and Wang Xiuzhen called her Sister Jia because she was a few years older than her.
Wang Xiuzhen works as a nanny in the Jiang family. She has a good salary and the work is not busy. The only drawback is that there is no one to talk to. Therefore, every half a month when she saw Sister Jia, Wang Xiuzhen would stay by her side, watch her work, and talk to her about her family affairs and the preferences of her host family.
At this point, Wang Xiuzhen raised her head and looked at Xia Mufan timidly: "When we talked, I talked more and she said less. I only know that her last name is Jia, she was married, but her husband died later, and she worked outside alone, which was quite hard."
Last name Jia? Then this information may be false.
Xia Mushige asked: "What does she like to hear from you the most?"
Wang Xiuzhen thought for a long time before she said cautiously, "She likes to ask about Liangliang."
When Zhong Xiaohong heard this, her body stiffened and her voice became higher: "Why did she look for Liangliang? Is she a human trafficker? I told you not to tell others about our family affairs, why didn't you listen?!"
Wang Xiuzhen's face flushed red: "Madam, I didn't say anything nonsense. She just liked to ask, so I told her some things that everyone knows. How old I am, what grade I am in, what kind of food I like to eat..."
Liangliang's attention was always on Xue Gao, and he was too lazy to listen to what the adults were saying. Suddenly she heard her name, and then she looked up at Zhong Xiaohong: "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Zhong Xiaohong hugged her son, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "It's okay, we are looking for that bad guy. Xiuzhen just said that the bad guy is asking about you, I'm afraid she will kidnap you, so I'm a little scared."
Liangliang, however, was not afraid at all. He patted his chest and assured loudly like an adult: "Mom, don't be afraid. Liangliang has grown up. I can protect myself and mom."
Zhong Xiaohong's throat choked up a little, tears flashing in her eyes: "Okay, Liangliang is a good child."
Xia Mufan was increasingly confused about Sister Hua's motives, so he said to Gong Weiguo, "Go to Dapeng Horticulture Company and find this Jia."
