Hearing her say this, Uncle Wang's beard trembled with anger. He slammed his cane on the ground and shouted:
"Stop quibbling! We live in the same compound, how could you mistake someone for someone else? Captain Fu, you must give us an explanation today. When will you pay us back? If you don't, we won't accept it!"
Aunt Zhang continued to echo excitedly:
"Everyday I see you two so affectionate and loving, I thought you were a model couple, but you're doing this right under our noses! We treat you as family, and you're fooling us like this!"
Everyone was talking at once, the emotions were getting more and more excited, and some people even started rolling up their sleeves, as if they wanted to ask for an explanation.
Qin Ying had never seen such a scene before. Surrounded by the crowd, her eyes suddenly turned red with anxiety. She shouted anxiously:
"Everyone, stop arguing. It really wasn't me. I never borrowed any money, and I don't have any conduct issues. Someone is deliberately framing me!"
But no matter what she said, she was still condemned by everyone.
Fu Hanzhou's face was grim, and he said loudly:
"Everyone, be quiet! Listen to me!"
The crowd's voices died down.
He went on to say:
"I, Fu Hanzhou, will pay you back today's money."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Qin Ying quickly grabbed Fu Hanzhou's arm and said anxiously:
"Fu Hanzhou, it's clearly not our fault. We should call the police and let the police investigate!"
Fu Hanzhou nodded, patted her hands, signaled her not to worry, and comforted her:
"We must report it to the police, but we can't throw the aunt's money away in vain. After all, their original intention was to help us, and we can't cause them any losses. We must return the money first, then investigate the truth and give everyone an explanation."
After hearing this, although everyone was still a little dissatisfied, they were also calmed down by Fu Hanzhou's responsibility, and the situation gradually calmed down.
Qin Ying looked around the crowd and asked:
"Auntie, how much did I borrow from each of you?"
Hearing this, everyone who had borrowed money took out an IOU from their pocket.
Qin Ying took it and looked through it. It was about 1,500 yuan.
Fu Hanzhou took the IOUs from her hand, looked at them, and said to the crowd:
"Everyone wait here, I'll go back and get the money."
Seeing Fu Hanzhou's attitude, the crowd was quiet for a while, and then began to discuss again:
"Is it really not borrowed by Qin Ying?"
A voice came out softly.
"Impossible. One or two people are wrong, but so many people are wrong?"
"That's right, it's not like we don't know her, right?"
Fu Hanzhou acted as if he didn't hear it. He said something to Qin Ying and went home to get the money.
After the money was repaid, the tense atmosphere eased a lot.
Aunt Zhang received the money and said a little embarrassedly:
"Captain Fu, I'm sorry. Everyone got too excited just now. Now that the money has been repaid, we'll tell you about the circumstances of the loan. Maybe we can help you find the truth."
Aunt Li continued:
"Yes, now that we have the money, we were all so excited just now. Now I will tell you in detail about the circumstances of borrowing the money so that you can solve the case later."
Qin Ying listened and analyzed their words carefully.
When they had almost finished talking, he asked in surprise:
"Auntie, you mean it was evening and I was wearing a sun hat and a mask?"
"right!"
Qin Ying's brows furrowed even deeper. On the day they were talking about, she was in the hospital taking care of Xu Jinshu and was not in the compound.
She glanced at Fu Hanzhou and continued to ask:
"The person who borrowed the money was so secretive, how did you know it was me?"
When Aunt Li heard what she said, she sighed and said confidently:
"Qin Ying, you're already familiar with us in this courtyard. Why wouldn't we suspect you over others? Even though the light isn't good in the evening, that figure is definitely yours! And the way you talk is also yours! There's no doubt about it!"
Qin Ying understood that someone had impersonated her.
Who would borrow money in her name?
Is it just because Xu Jinshu happened to be sick and hospitalized, and he was looking for an opportunity to make a fortune in distress?
After everyone left, they were the only two left in the square.
Qin Ying thought for a moment and said:
"Have you noticed that those who borrow money are usually older and less vigilant? I think imposters are taking advantage of this trait and targeting the elderly!"
"Besides, this is a military compound, and it's evening, when most family members are here. No one would suspect someone with bad intentions has entered."
Fu Hanzhou nodded, a gleam in his eyes, and continued:
"But this person must have known our situation. She acted very precisely and knew I wasn't home. She must also be very familiar with you, or very familiar with you. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to imitate you so well!"
"I'm sorry to trouble you!"
Qin Ying sighed. In fact, she was very grateful to him. Fu Hanzhou encountered this kind of thing just after he came back, but he didn't complain at all. He silently covered for her and was very considerate.
"We are husband and wife, and it was because I was not at home that someone took advantage of me and broke in. You are also a victim."
Fu Hanzhou stood face to face with her. There were not many people left in the square.
The street lights in the family compound had already been turned on. She looked up at Fu Hanzhou with eyes full of gratitude.
He could actually sympathize with her situation.
When she came home from get off work today, she was surrounded by people in the compound. She was stunned.
No wonder the people who came to visit Xu Jinshu at home said those inexplicable words when they left on the day she was discharged from the hospital.
