In the capital, Hei Quezi had already arrived. He brought Chen Xiong with him. Chen Xiong gasped after listening to Wu Lao Hu's description of the theft.
"Master Hei and Master Hu, their modus operandi is exactly the same. It is 100% certain that they are the same group of people."
Black Cripple's cloudy old eyes radiated murderous intent. "How dare you steal from my eldest brother? Are you tired of living?"
Chen Xiong's face was full of grievance. Hei Ye, now you should believe that it was not me who embezzled the money, right?
Over the past year, he had been suspected by Hei Ye and had no way to express his suffering. Today, he finally cleared his name.
Li Xiyue: Then you have to thank me.
Chen Xiong: Thank you and your whole family.
Li Xiyue: That’s not necessary.
"Brother, what do you think we should do about this?" Hei Quezi asked Wu Lao Hu, who had been silent the whole time.
Wu Lao Hu said helplessly, "You've been investigating for a year and haven't found any clues. I've mobilized everyone on my side, but we still can't find anything. Even the police haven't given us any information. What can we do?"
"There's no way so many things could be moved without making any noise. At least they'd leave traces, unless we're haunted!" Black Cripple limped a few steps, waved his hand, and overturned his own conclusion, "I don't believe there are ghosts in this world!"
Wu Lao Hu rubbed his swollen and painful brows, "But there really is no trace at all. It's as if those things disappeared out of thin air."
That was his savings of many years, and it was all gone in an instant. To say he wasn't heartbroken would be a lie. But taking a step back, money can be earned again, but it's still a bit frustrating.
This is not just a loss of property, but also a loss of face.
Think about Wu Lao Hu, he was a big shot in the old city, but he capsized in the gutter, and his face was almost thrown into Shichahai.
Chen Xiong thought for a moment and said, "Master Tiger, Master Black, if we can't find anything, then let's check the people. Have you encountered any strange people recently?"
He remembered that when he lost his things in March, a man went to the black market and bought pork worth 100 yuan in one go. The man only appeared once and was never seen again.
He once suspected that the man was the thief.
"A strange person?" Wu Lao Hu's eyes blurred and then focused again. "There really is one. She's the future granddaughter-in-law of the Chu family in the military district. She's a girl in her teens. She looks delicate but incredibly strong... Oh, I asked Lu Feng to check her out. She's from Su Province."
From Jiangsu Province?
Black Cripple slapped his knee and said, "Brother, could it be that little girl who did this?"
"Master Hu, Master Hei, I think it's very possible." Chen Xiong felt that he had uncovered the truth.
When the other party was in Su Province, his house was robbed. When she came to Beijing, Tiger Master’s house was robbed. It must have been her who did it.
Even if it wasn't her, it was definitely related to her.
Wu Lao Hu couldn't understand. "That shouldn't be the case. She's just a little girl. She doesn't have the ability to empty my warehouse overnight."
"Could it be that the Chu family is secretly helping?" Hei Quezi guessed.
Wu Lao Hu shook his head, denying this possibility. "Who are the Chu family? They're well-known figures in the capital. The entire Chu family is made up of upright national heroes. How could they do something so shameful? If the Chu family dislikes me, they have a hundred ways to deal with me, but they would only deal with me openly and honestly, not resort to such underhanded tactics."
Besides, does the Chu family need this little money from him?
Li Xiyue: I am neither bright nor upright. I have brought shame to the Chu family.
"If it's not the Chu family, she's just a little girl?" Hei Quezi didn't believe that a little girl who was still wet behind the ears could have such great ability.
Wu Lao Hu thought for a moment and said, "Old Black, when we reconcile the accounts at the end of the year, will the grain and meat circulation in Hunan Province be greater than in other places?"
"It seems so." Hei Quezi nodded.
Wu Lao Hu touched his chin and said, "That girl happened to be working in the countryside in Hunan Province."
"It seems that there is indeed something wrong with that girl." Hei Quezi's eyes were cold.
Wu Lao Hu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Lao Xiong? You go to Hunan Province and investigate. Use the excuse of investigating the flow of goods in Hunan Province as an excuse to secretly keep a close eye on that girl. Tell me and Lao Hei immediately if you find anything. But remember one thing: you can't touch her without my permission. Understand?"
She is a future member of the Chu family. From the information he has heard, the Chu family attaches great importance to her and will not touch her unless it is absolutely necessary.
Chen Xiong responded, "Yes, Lord Tiger."
Li Xiyue didn't know that Wu Lao Hu and his gang had already suspected her. Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't be afraid.
She ate and slept on the train, and everything went smoothly along the way. Two days later, the train arrived in Hunan Province.
Li Xiyue got off the train and just walked out of the station when he saw Chen Yu waving at him from a distance, "Sister-in-law, here."
Li Xiyue ran over with a small suitcase, "Chen Yu, why are you here?"
"The leader asked me to come pick you up." Chen Yu took her luggage and put it in the trunk. He opened the door like a gentleman and said, "Sister-in-law, it's cold. Get in the car quickly."
After coming back from the north, I feel that the cold in the south is child's play. Li Xiyue is wearing a lot of clothes and doesn't feel that cold.
"Chen Yu, did you have a good New Year?" Li Xiyue asked with a smile.
Chen Yu replied while driving, "It's fine."
Li Xiyue saw that his face was flushed, and it seemed that there was some good news.
"Sister-in-law, do we want to go back to the village directly or rest in the provincial capital for a night before going back?" Chen Yu asked.
Li Xiyue hadn't seen her fellow educated youths in the community for half a month, and she missed them terribly. She felt a strong urge to return home, so she said, "Let's just go back."
It's still early, and we should be able to get back to the village before dark.
"Okay." Chen Yu also wanted to go back as soon as possible.
It took three hours to drive from the provincial capital to the county town, and another two hours to drive from the county town to the commune. I had a meal, rest, and use the toilet on the way, and called the Chu family to report that I was safe. It took six or seven hours in total. I finally returned to the village when it was dark.
When Li Xiyue saw the tree at the entrance of the village, she felt a sense of belonging.
It was cold, and the villagers stayed indoors after dinner. Even the children didn't come out. Li Xiyue didn't meet anyone along the way.
At the entrance of the educated youth center, Huang Xinrui had been waiting eagerly for a long time.
"Yueyue!" Huang Xinrui saw the figure from afar and rushed over like a rabbit.
But faster than her was a black shadow, which appeared in front of Li Xiyue in the blink of an eye, jumping up and down and acting coquettishly, "Yueyue, you are finally back, Xiaobai missed you so much."
Li Xiyue hugged the big dog that rushed over to her, "Xiaobai, it's only been a Chinese New Year, how come you've become so fat?"
Xiaobai: I feel like I won’t fall in love anymore.
"Xiaobai, you're so fat, how come you run faster than me?" Huang Xinrui ran over to complain.
Xiaobai: Let me go, no one can hold me back.
