"No, no, it can't be true."
"This is fake, this is fake, you're all lying to me, aren't you? You're all lying to me!"
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me, you killed our son, it wasn't me!"
"It's them, yes, it must be them. I, Chang'an, have no grudge against anyone. It must have been them. Officer, I know who did it. It's Li Yueniang, it's Li Yueniang and her family. They live in Liuhuai Lane. Go and arrest them, go and arrest them..."
Qin Xiangxiang scrambled to her feet, frantically grabbing the police officer's sleeve. "I swear on my life, it must have been them! You have to investigate! You have to investigate! They must have left some clues!"
Su Yi felt a chill run through him, as if he were meeting Qin Xiangxiang for the first time. "How many more innocent people are you going to drag into this?"
"You've ruined your family, causing your wife and children to break apart, and even your family to be destroyed. You still don't repent and are thinking of harming others?"
Qin Xiangxiang completely ignored Su Yi's reprimands. She was like a madwoman, insisting that it must have been Li Yueniang's side who did it.
The police officer handling the case reassured her, "Don't worry, we will definitely investigate thoroughly and will never wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a bad person go unpunished."
That afternoon, the police officers handling the case went to Liu Huai Lane.
"What? Really? Su Chang'an is dead?"
Is this because he's done too many immoral things? Or has God finally taken notice?
No, I must eat an extra bowl of rice tonight.
Li Yueniang made no attempt to hide her excitement. Before she could even make a move, the most dangerous person over there had inexplicably died. She no longer had to guard against him like a thief. How could she not be happy?
The two policemen who came to the door both turned pale. "Old comrade, please watch your attitude."
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, let me control my emotions." Li Yueniang pressed her fingers down to her lips, trying hard to control her emotions. She couldn't laugh in front of the police. Even if she wanted to laugh, she had to go home and hide to laugh secretly, otherwise it would be too immoral.
"Hey, buddy, officer, is he really dead? Is he completely dead?"
No, I can't control my schadenfreude at all.
The conflict between our side and that side has reached a point of no return; if the other side dies, then our side will be safe.
The two policemen exchanged a glance and immediately understood that, given the old woman's blatant behavior, the matter should have nothing to do with Liu Huai Lane.
"Excuse me, where were you all yesterday?"
Li Yueniang spoke with a strong voice, "It's cold, so we haven't gone out."
Guo Xiaomao nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, we didn't go out. We stayed home and warmed ourselves by the fire."
"Where are the others?"
"The others? My two sons are both recovering from their injuries at home, my youngest daughter-in-law is taking care of us at home, the children are in school, and my eldest daughter-in-law is with my granddaughter in Jiaxi Hutong."
After registering the information, the two police officers visited the neighbors and confirmed that what Li Yueniang and the others said was true.
"Please give us the address of your granddaughter in Jiaxi Hutong."
"Oh, it seems to be No. 9, Lane 3, Jiaxi Hutong. Officer, if you ask me, you don't need to investigate this. It has nothing to do with us. It must be because Qin Xiangxiang has done too many despicable things. This is definitely retribution on her children. Don't you know that she and her daughter are both murderers? Her daughter is still on the run. Maybe they are hiding and fighting amongst themselves now."
The police officer was exasperated by the old woman's sullen expression. He had come to investigate and find the murderer, and she made no attempt to hide her gleeful look that she was glad she had died!
"Comrade, don't make things up without evidence, or it's slander."
"Alright, alright, I won't talk nonsense. I was just afraid of wasting your time. Go ahead and investigate."
After leaving Liuhuai Alley, the two policemen went to Jiaxi Hutong.
When Xu Weihua returned home yesterday, he immediately took an unburnt coal briquette to his neighbor's house to exchange for coal.
With sleepy eyes, pretending to have just woken up, she said, "Hey, are you home? Oh, my neighbor, it's so cold outside. I took a nap and didn't even add any coal. It went out. I just wanted to ask you to replace some coal."
Across the street, Aunt Li, seeing the coal briquettes clamped in her tongs, beckoned her to come inside.
Xu Weihua chatted with Li Dama for a while, and learned that Li Dama was helping her son and daughter-in-law take care of their child.
Xu Weihua immediately began praising the dual-income family and her chubby grandson, making them laugh heartily.
After a while, he looked up at his wrist and saw that it was already five o'clock.
Xu Weihua's eyes darkened, and she said apologetically, "Oh dear, it's already past four o'clock. We've been chatting for half an hour. I have to go back now. Thank you, sister. You're so kind. We get along really well. Come visit my daughter's house sometime."
After seeing Xu Weihua off, Aunt Li from next door looked up at the sky. It was only a little past four o'clock. She didn't have a watch or anything, and the weather seemed about right.
This morning, Xu Weihua went to the other party's house again to borrow vinegar and garlic, revealing his whereabouts over the past few days in his conversation.
He was worried because his daughter-in-law was hospitalized, and his son and daughter were taking care of her at the hospital. He also mentioned how expensive chickens were on the black market and that he needed to deliver food to her later.
When the police arrived, Xu Weihua was making chicken soup.
Similarly, after asking some questions, the police also visited the two neighboring houses.
Aunt Li's chance to shine came: "Her? These past few days? Yesterday afternoon, she came to my house to change the coal briquettes after waking up from her nap. It seems she overslept and forgot to add coal. That woman isn't very diligent, taking a nap. Oh, and she chatted with me for almost half an hour."
