Fu Hanzhou chased the man to no avail, and hurried back to Qin Ying. He stared at the boy with such a terrifying look that the boy even trembled when he spoke:
"I...I told her everything. She gave me money and told me to slip a note to this classmate, saying that if I could get it done, she'd give me...five hundred yuan. I only know she was a woman. I don't know anything more than that!"
Hearing him say this, Fu Hanzhou's anger intensified. The invisible sense of oppression he felt as a soldier made his words even more weighty:
"You're doing this to harm others and yourself. You're ruining other people's futures and yourself!"
The boy suddenly realized the seriousness of his words, and his face turned pale with fear. He racked his brains to come up with some useful information, but after thinking for a long time, he came up with nothing and stammered:
"I...that's really all I know. She was wearing a mask and a hat, so I couldn't see what she looked like. She met me at the breakfast shop in front of the school. She gave me a note and a 100 yuan deposit in advance, saying she would pay me the rest after the deal was done."
Qin Ying was so angry that she was shaking all over. She couldn't understand his actions.
"The college entrance exam is the most important opportunity to change your destiny. You framed me for such a small sum of money. Don't you have any conscience or morals?"
Being questioned by Qin Ying in a resounding voice, the boy lowered his head, not daring to look into her eyes:
"I... I was just possessed by a ghost. My family is poor and I need money. She gave me a lot of money, so I..."
Fu Hanzhou felt helpless and sighed heavily:
"You've studied so much just to take the college entrance exam and change your fate, but you don't understand that a gentleman should earn money in a proper way. It seems that even if you pass the exam, you won't be a useful person. However, it's too late to say anything now. Come with me to the police station and explain everything clearly!"
As he spoke, he slapped the boy on the shoulder. A silent aura enveloped him. He didn't even dare to resist. He followed Fu Hanzhou and Qin Ying to the police station dejectedly.
When we arrived at the police station, we recounted the whole story in detail.
The police questioned the boy in detail and recorded his information, then asked Fu Hanzhou and Qin Ying to go home and wait for news while they launched an investigation.
After returning home, Qin Ying couldn't calm down for a long time. This incident felt too familiar to her.
She was drugged and had diarrhea the night before yesterday, and was reported for cheating today. In fact, the purpose was to prevent her from taking the exam.
Regarding the diarrhea, she couldn't think of anyone else except Gu Ping'an, and Gu Ping'an was the only outsider present that day.
Her bowl of rice was handed to her by Gu Ping'an. It was the first time that Gu Ping'an was so enthusiastic when eating here.
Her reason at the time was to wish her a successful start.
Is this her hidden purpose?
Qin Ying sat in the living room, thinking silently.
Fu Hanzhou sat down on the single sofa next to her, his deep eyes falling on her silently.
He was a little puzzled. Ever since the incident of borrowing money, incidents targeting Qin Ying had been ongoing.
Is this a coincidence?
Even if borrowing money was a coincidence, what happened today was not!
His expression gradually became ugly, and his voice became low:
"Don't worry too much. Since we already have a clue, the public security comrades will do their best to find out the truth. I'm here. Everything will be settled after the exam."
Qin Ying's thoughts were interrupted. She looked at Fu Hanzhou and nodded slightly.
Thinking of what the boy said, that he and the contact person first met at the breakfast shop next to Yancheng No. 1 Middle School, she thought for a moment and said:
"We can go to the breakfast shop next to the school and see if we can find some clues."
Fu Hanzhou felt that what Qin Ying said made sense, but he still refused and comforted her:
"There's no need to rush. I'll go with you to ask about the situation after the exam tomorrow."
Qin Ying did not object. No matter who it was, the most important thing now was the exam.
She did very well in the next few exams and didn't encounter any bad problems.
At noon on the last day, all the exams were completed, and Fu Hanzhou was waiting for Qin Ying outside the examination room as usual.
Instead of going home directly, they went to the breakfast shop next to the school.
Because the exams were over and the students had all gone home, there were few customers in the store at this time. The proprietress was sitting behind the counter, concentrating on counting the change.
Seeing them come in, the proprietress stopped what she was doing and greeted them:
"What would you two like to eat?"
Fu Hanzhou walked in front with a straight posture, nodded slightly to the proprietress, and asked in a deep voice:
"Sister, we won't eat. I have something I want to ask you."
The proprietress had just stood up. When she heard his words, she was stunned for a moment and looked at the two of them.
After looking at the military uniform on Fu Hanzhou, he did not refuse and said politely:
"What do you want to know?"
"A couple of days ago, a man and a woman came to your place. The man was about this tall, thin, and wearing a blue cotton shirt. The woman was rather unusual. She was bundled up tightly even in the hot weather, wearing a hat and a mask. Her attire was quite unusual."
The proprietress frowned slightly and recalled carefully:
"...I remember! That woman was really terrible. As soon as she walked in, she looked disgusted and said my table was dirty."
As she spoke, she curled her lips and continued:
"She took out a handkerchief and wiped everywhere, first the stool and then the table. She wiped for a long time before sitting down, still mumbling. The man was sitting opposite her, and they talked for a long time before leaving."
At this point, the proprietress turned around and took out a handkerchief from the drawer under the counter and handed it to them:
"This handkerchief was dropped by that woman. It's of great quality. I was going to chase her and give it back to her, but she walked away too quickly. I thought it looked good so I put it away, just in case she came back to look for it, but she never did."
Qin Ying reached out to take it. The handkerchief was soft and beautifully embroidered. It didn't look like an ordinary handkerchief. The ones she had seen on the market were all made of printed and dyed cotton.
Embroidered styles like this look quite expensive. She stroked the handkerchief gently. Anyone who can afford this kind of handkerchief will not be short of money.
Fu Hanzhou's eyes fell on the handkerchief, and there was a hint of doubt on his face.
The proprietress continued to chatter:
"That woman was wearing a denim suit, wrapped up from head to toe. She wore long sleeves and long pants even in the scorching heat, but she didn't feel the heat. Even so, you could still see her arrogance. She wiped the table with this expensive handkerchief, but she just casually put it aside and left without even turning back or even glancing at it. I was like, 'Whose daughter is this? She's so spoiled.'"
Qin Ying had a rough idea of who she suspected, nodded slightly, and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Miss. If you think of anything else later, please contact us."
As he spoke, Fu Hanzhou took out a piece of paper from his pocket with his contact information on it and handed it to the proprietress.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely contact you if I remember anything."
The People's Liberation Army is always worthy of respect and trust. The proprietress took the note and sent them out.
