"If we can't find evidence of your innocence within two days, you'll be convicted and sent to a Northwest Farm for reform! For now, we'll lock you up. Family members will be allowed to visit while we collect evidence. You're on your own!"
Under the watchful eyes of the public, the Hong'an special envoys opened all the back doors for Lu Fengying. They tried to delay the case that was bound to be sentenced and tried their best to verify it, which was also a way to repay Lu Fengying for her kindness.
After saying that, Lu Fengying was taken by Hong An to be locked up in a small dark room.
"Comrade!" Fang Youzhi was unwilling to accept this. He would not feel at ease until Lu Fengying was sent to the farm.
"No need to say more, we know what's going on! Go back!" Seeing that Fang Youzhi was going to insist on an early verdict, the special envoy's eyes flashed with contempt and he drove him out.
Lu Fengying collapsed to the ground. She had no relatives to support her. Her mother died early and her father remarried.
Now, the love and care that once seemed to be held in the palm of his father's hand was just an illusion. Now the family was run by his stepmother and stepbrother. Before, she was the director of the glass factory, and it was fine, as relatives, they came and went. Now, the stepmother was probably too busy hiding, so how could she let her father interfere? Otherwise, after all these days of commotion, they still didn't show up. What else did he not understand?
"Wait!" Mu Qingli couldn't help but come out when he saw this.
She was not a saint, but she always felt that a good woman who was praised by everyone should not end up like this.
Moreover, she felt that there was something wrong with this man, which was evident from his frequent eye contact with a young woman hiding in the crowd.
And the poisoned old woman was almost unconscious, but she was still insisting on not going to the hospital. She was really looking for death. She was also curious.
Why did the mother and son have to break up with the woman who seemed to be very ambitious and upright? If this woman was hypocritical and not a good person, she would have many ways to make her pay the price. Why not help her first? What if she really was a good person?
"Little girl! Who are you? Stop making trouble!" The Hong'an special envoys who were about to take Lu Fengying away stopped and said when they saw Mu Qingli.
"Comrade Hong'an, I am the one who seeks justice for Aunt Lu!" Mu Qingli's words were shocking. Even Lu Fengying straightened up again, staring at Mu Qingli blankly, wondering about the origins of this girl.
"Little comrade! Nonsense! How can you have the confidence to brag?!" The Hong'an special envoy couldn't help but get angry when he saw that a little girl who was only in her teens was challenging the authority of their Hong'an Bureau.
"Comrade Hong'an, didn't you just say that relatives are allowed to visit the prison and collect evidence? I'll help her collect evidence, isn't that okay?" Mu Qingli blinked her big, ignorant eyes and asked innocently.
"...The evidence is conclusive. Lu Fengying refuses to plead guilty. Our Hong'an Bureau serves the people. In the spirit of not wrongly accusing anyone, we allow relatives to help provide evidence! Where did you come from, little girl? Why are you making such a fuss?" The male Hong'an couldn't help but feel annoyed. This little girl really didn't know her place and was not afraid at all.
"Hehe, Comrade Hong'an, calm down! I said the wrong thing. I know that our Comrade Hong'an is sympathetic to our people and can't bear to see such a good person suffer an injustice!" Mu Qingli saw that the male Hong'an's beard was about to stand up with anger. Of course, the premise was that he had a beard, so he couldn't help but flatter him.
"Hmph! Tell me! How are you going to help Lu Fengying provide evidence!" The man, Hong'an, was persuaded by Mu Qingli and was too lazy to argue with her.
"Aunt Lu, do you like growing flowers?" Mu Qingli asked out of the blue, completely irrelevantly.
"...I like it! I have a lot of flowers and plants in the yard and house at home!" Lu Fengying hesitated, but still answered.
"Oh! That's good!" Mu Qingli said with a smile.
"No! Little girl! Does this have anything to do with growing flowers?" Male Hong'an was almost laughed out of anger by her. He suspected that this girl was here to waste his time, and he had evidence.
"Don't worry, comrade! Of course I have a way! However, as a great detective, I can't work in vain... Look at me, I'm dressed in rags and I'm hungry..." As he said that, Mu Qingli turned his head and looked at Lu Fengying.
"Tsk..." After he finished speaking, the people watching at the door all snorted in unison. Their nervousness was in vain. They originally thought that he was a brave man who was willing to help others, but he turned out to be someone who took advantage of others' misfortune!
"Little girl, if you can redress my grievances, I will definitely make sure you have enough food and clothing. You can buy whatever you want to wear and eat yourself! I will also provide you with enough meals! Auntie has been working for many years and has saved all her salary!" Lu Fengying was desperate and tried every possible means, not caring whether she could do it or not. She spoke of the reward in a very obscure way, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Lu Fengying, you vicious woman, those are all from my Fang family!" Fang Youzhi couldn't help but get angry when he heard that Lu Fengying was going to spend money, and he was distressed that he couldn't find where the money was hidden.
"Well... as long as we have enough food and warm clothes, that's enough. Comrade Hong'an, come with me to Fang's house. I want to take a look at the scene!!" After Mu Qingli finished speaking, Hong'an's face became even darker. Originally, he thought Mu Qingli could be a little reliable, but now, he felt that she was not reliable. At home, the Fang family might have cleared away the evidence long ago, but she actually wanted to go to the scene. Did she really think she was a detective?
"Sun Hai, let's go with her. If anyone obstructs the investigation, we will arrest him!" A male Hong An said with a dark face, which made Mu Qingli jump three feet high with joy. Comrade Hong An is really awesome.
"Okay, Zhou Tao, then what about Lu Fengying..." Sun Hai said hesitantly.
"Well... take it with you first!" Zhou Tao pondered for a moment and spoke.
Oh my! The two Hong An comrades are so cute, they can discuss things, but they are a little impetuous! Mu Qingli thought secretly, but did not dare to say more. How could this lovely comrade Hong An be so angry all the time?
