Chapter 216 New Love
After making up their minds not to admit anything, Zhong Yinghong and Jiang Zheng relaxed.
As long as they don't admit it, the police won't be able to find evidence to prove that they are Sister Hua, so what is there to worry about?
The couple was about to make love when they heard the child's cry outside the door: "Solar Ash, Solar Ash——"
Jiang Zheng was worried when he came back. He didn't care what the name of Xia Mufan's cat was. When he heard Liangliang's cry, he looked at his wife Zhong Yinghong in surprise: "What rose? What is Liangliang shouting?"
Zhong Yinghong stood up from the bedside at once: "What Rose? Liangliang is calling Coal Ash, the cat that Xia Mufan raised."
Jiang Zheng also stood up: "The cat is missing? This is terrible. What if Xia finds a reason to search our house? That would be terrible."
After saying that, he quickly opened the bedroom door and looked at his son who was standing in the hall on the second floor: "Liangliang, wasn't the cat helping you with your homework just now? How come the cat is gone?"
Liangliang looked around and said, "Yes, Coal Ash has been lying at my feet obediently while I was doing my homework. I was afraid that he would get bored, so I gave him a small ball to play with. However, when I finished my homework, I found that he had disappeared. The policewoman said that he was very well behaved and would not run around. You must still be at our house, but I don't know where you have gone."
Jiang Zheng and Zhong Yinghong looked at each other and narrowed their eyes: "Look for it quickly, don't let it get lost." There was one more thing he didn't say, which was: Could this dead cat really be hiding in some corner and eavesdropping on our conversation?
The family was just about to look for the cat when they suddenly heard a cat cry: "Meow..."
Turning my head and looking in the direction of the cat's meow, I saw Coal Ash coming up from the stairs, seemingly holding something black in its mouth.
Liangliang shouted happily: "Meihui, where have you been?" and stretched out his hands to hug him.
Coal Ash came closer, and Zhong Yinghong took a closer look. Only then did she see clearly that what was in Coal Ash's mouth was a gray rat! The mouse's tail is still moving!
Zhong Yinghong was shocked and hurriedly stopped her son: "Well, the cat is catching mice, don't hug it."
Soot opened his mouth and swung the mouse onto the wooden floor. As soon as the mouse was free, it got on all fours and started to run away. Unfortunately, after it had taken just two steps, Coal Ash came as fast as lightning and stretched out his front paws to hold the mouse down.
Jiang Zheng finally saw clearly what was under Mei Hui's claws. He was not afraid, but angry: "How dare we call our community a high-end residential complex? How can the property management keep it clean? There are still rats! I will file a complaint with the property management tomorrow. This is outrageous!"
Liangliang was not afraid at all and watched the fight between Coal Ash and the mouse with great interest.
As soon as the coal ash's claws loosened, the mouse just ran away half a meter, but was pressed down by the coal ash again. The claws loosened again, and the mouse ran away again, and was pressed down again. This happened over and over again several times. Finally, the mouse became desperate and its four legs went limp, and it stopped struggling.
Coal Ash was tired from playing, so he picked up the mouse again.
Zhong Yinghong was afraid that Mei Hui would eat the mouse alive in front of her, so she screamed: "Throw away the mouse, don't dirty the floor!"
Mei Hui glanced at Zhong Yinghong, seemed to understand what she said, and walked slowly towards the stairs. After a while, he disappeared.
After waiting for a few minutes, Coal Ash appeared in front of Liang Liang again, but the big rat had disappeared. Coal Ash's mouth and body looked clean, and it didn't look like he had eaten the big rat alive.
Only then did Zhong Yinghong feel relieved. Looking at Liangliang, he said, "Take the cat back to the room and close the door. Don't let it run around, or we will have to help you find the cat."
Liangliang picked up the cat and muttered reluctantly, "But the policewoman said her cat is used to being free, so it won't run around."
Zhong Yinghong raised her voice: "Liangliang, be obedient!"
Liangliang pouted, carried the cat into the house, and slammed the door.
Jiang Zheng felt a lot more at ease. The cat was busy catching mice, so there was no way it could be hiding in the dark and eavesdropping on his conversation. It seems that it is just an ordinary cat, no need to worry.
Unfortunately, Jiang Zheng made a wrong judgment. Coal Ash was not an ordinary cat.
Xia Mufan is not an ordinary policeman either.
When Liangliang fell asleep, the coal dust came out of the open window, quickly climbed down the downspout outside the wall, and disappeared into the night in a short while.
After listening to Meihui's words, Xia Mufan looked at his watch first.
Now Zhong Yinghong might have taken the medicine that made her throat hoarse, and it is too late to stop it. Asking Cai Yutie to identify her as Sister Hua by her voice is not feasible.
But, there are many people who have seen Sister Hua, so what if she covers her head and face? People can also be identified by their body shape, posture, and behavior.
The most important thing is that Jia Xihua's son was sold to Jiang Zheng's cousin. Following this clue, Jiang Zheng cannot escape the crime of child trafficking.
Thinking of this, Xia Mufan did not rush to take action. He smiled and touched Meihui's little head: "You ate a lot of dried fish tonight, so I won't reward you for the time being. Your information is very useful. You are really a smart police cat."
After receiving the praise, Coal Ash squinted his eyes happily, rubbed Xia Mufan's palm, and meowed.
[Right, right?] I'm so smart. 】
[I hid behind the curtains and they didn't notice me. 】
[As soon as the door opened, I ran out of the window, and caught a mouse and went upstairs to scare them. 】
The height of the second floor of the villa is not a problem for Coal Gray. Even if there is a screen blocking the window, he can push it open with his claws. Coal Gray has thick paw pads and walks silently, which makes him very suitable for spying.
If it weren't for the coal ash, Xia Mufan really couldn't be sure that Sister Hua was the couple Jiang Zheng and Zhong Yinghong.
These two people, one acting as a strategist behind the scenes and the other charging into battle in the front, work really well together.
If Zhong Yinghong had not stepped forward this time, and if the person she chose to take the blame had not been Jia Xihua, who had been involved with her husband ten years ago, they might have really been able to escape.
Xia Mufan stood up and stretched, then said to Meihui, "Let's go home. We don't need to go to Shanshui Haoting."
Coal Ash was happy and ran away very fast.
[Ruyi, Ruyi, here I come!] 】
[That damn starling of Fa Cai, didn’t he bully Ruyi when I was not at home? 】
Early the next morning.
In the Jiang family villa, Liangliang looked for coal ash as soon as he woke up, but he couldn't find it after searching the entire house. He burst into tears in panic.
However, Zhong Yinghong had no way to comfort her son. She took medicine last night and her throat felt sore as if it had been scraped by a knife when she woke up in the morning. She couldn't speak at all.
Jiang Zheng was fully prepared, but all he got was a call from Xia Mufan: "Mei Hui went home on his own. We won't be coming today."
Jiang Zheng was a little confused. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Zhong Yinghong and said, "Well, the police said they are not coming."
Zhong Yinghong widened her eyes, clenched her fists and hit her legs hard twice, making "Ah! Ah!" sounds.
She was speechless, her face flushed with anxiety, and she tore off a piece of paper and wrote, "The police didn't even target us. The medicine was wasted!"
Jiang Zheng had not expected this result and was somewhat confused about the police's actions: "Why did they take the dog house away? Did they find nothing in the dog house, so they stopped watching us?"
Zhong Yinghong nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of annoyance, and slapped the paper heavily: "When will my throat get better? It hurts!"
Jiang Zheng felt bad seeing his wife in so much pain, and tried to comfort her: "Don't worry, the pain will only last a week at most, and you'll be fine soon. You can rest at home for the next few days, and let the driver pick up Liangliang."
A burning pain came from her throat and Zhong Yinghong trembled all over in pain. Jiang Zheng didn't think anything of it when she fed medicine to the abducted women and children before, but when it really happened to her, she realized how deep the pain was. She only drank half of it and it hurt like this. How miserable would those who drank a whole packet of medicine be? !
Not knowing whether it was pain or regret, Zhong Yinghong waved her fist angrily and hit Jiang Zheng hard. Tears flowed like crazy and her heart was roaring.
——What do you mean the pain will only last for a week at most? Would you like to try it? !
——It’s all your fault. You’ve killed me by being so nervous!
A week later, everything was back to normal.
Jiang Zheng finally felt relieved.
It was getting dark, but Jiang Zheng didn't want to go home.
Ever since Zhong Yinghong's voice was poisoned and she became hoarse, her temper became very strange. She would get angry at the slightest provocation and glare at Jiang Zheng whenever she saw him. The family atmosphere was very bad.
Jiang Zheng lit a cigarette in the office, puffed on it for a while, then picked up his cell phone and made a call: "Hello, it's me. I'm staying at your place tonight."
A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, I'll wait for you, Baoer misses you too."
In the Shanshui Haoting villa, Zhong Yinghong sat alone for the whole night.
Watching the sunset outside the window, the street lights light up, the morning glow fills the sky, and the sunlight shines into the bedroom.
Jiang Zheng didn't come back the whole night.
Zhong Yinghong held the latest silver mobile phone in one hand and dialed Jiang Zheng's number over and over again, but the call was not picked up.
It was not until Liangliang's voice was heard outside the house: "Mom, I'm going to school." Zhong Yinghong smiled at herself and slowly stood up.
This is not the first or second time that Jiang Zheng has not returned home at night. He always says that he is busy with work or has to socialize, but is it really so?
Zhong Yinghong didn't sleep all night and felt a little dizzy.
Until the nanny called her downstairs and saw Xia Mufan standing at the door of the villa, she didn't react and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why are you here?"
Xia Mufan asked her, "Do you know where Jiang Zheng is?"
Zhong Yinghong shook her head: "I don't know." Her eyes were red as she stared at Xia Mufan blankly, as if she understood something. "You know?"
Xia Mufan took out some photos and said, "Jiang Zheng has a new lover. She stayed there last night. It's this woman."
Perhaps because she had been waiting for a whole night, Zhong Yinghong felt a little numb. She took the photo and looked at the young girl with her arm around Jiang Zheng and a sweet and gentle smile on her face. She didn't say a word for a long time.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from the heart.
The pain was so severe that she couldn't breathe.
Zhong Yinghong pressed her left breast with one hand and held the photo tightly with the other hand, and twitched her lips: "Jiang Zheng, you really deserve me."
Xia Mufan said: "Her name is Ke Jie, and she gave birth to a daughter for Jiang Zheng last year."
Zhong Yinghong interrupted Xia Mufan: "Why are you telling me this?"
Xia Mufan's eyes were sharp: "Please go to the police station to ask something."
