Chapter 12 A Custom, a Bitterness
"Not a traitor, not a thief. Zhuang Qing answered.
Fu Tingshu raised his eyebrows, seemingly not convinced.
"But it's true that there is something that wants to trouble Lawyer Fu, and that's true. ”
"Listen up. Fu Tingshu replied.
When it came to business, Zhuang Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Does Lawyer Fu know anything about Grandpa?" I hope that if Lawyer Fu knows some inside information, he can tell him everything. ”
"I can understand Dr. Chong's eagerness to find out the murderer, but these things are the work of the police. Fu Tingshu smiled and declined.
Although it was a polite refusal, it also meant that Fu Tingshu did know something. What does he know? I am afraid that it is some important clues for Team Zhao to contact him several times.
"Lawyer Fu, I believe in the police, but I believe in myself more. Zhuang Qing said.
While talking, the two arrived at the elevator entrance, and while waiting for the elevator, the conversation between the two continued.
"Everyone's energy is limited, and they can't and can't put all their minds on Grandpa's case. I don't know how long it will take to know the truth in such a situation, a month, a year, or even longer, I can't afford to wait, and I don't want to wait. Lawyer Fu, since you have some friendship with your grandfather, presumably, you also want to find out the murderer and bring the murderer to justice, right?" Zhuang Qing's words were sincere, and it was indeed one of the reasons why she wanted to investigate, but the most important point, she couldn't mention.
Fu Tingshu looked at Zhuang Qing: "Are you suspicious, Zhuang family?"
In this way, Fu Tingshu suddenly understood why Zhuang Qing wanted to read the will, and why on the day of the reading of the will, she hid outside to observe the Zhuang family, she listed these people as suspects, this is not wrong, if the old man Zhuang was killed by him, the Zhuang family is the most likely to commit murder.
Zhuang Qing's thoughts, Fu Tingshu can understand one or two, but he does not agree.
"Risking one's life is not a smart idea. Fu Tingshu said.
If the murderer is really in the Zhuang family, Zhuang Qing's behavior is undoubtedly exposing himself to the murderer's nose, and since the murderer can kill the old man Zhuang, it is very likely that he will also attack Zhuang Qing. Moreover, Zhuang Qing is not popular with the Zhuang family, which is not difficult to guess.
It is a very unwise choice to enter the life of a bookmaker.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, you have to be brave a few times in life, but fortunately, I am alone, I don't have to worry too much, I just want to be worthy of my heart." Zhuang Qing hooked his lips and smiled, with some bitterness in his smile.
Fu Tingshu was silent.
"Lawyer Fu, I sincerely ask you, if you know some inside information, I hope you can tell me. Yu Qing, you have such a relationship with the old man, Yu Gong, if Lawyer Fu is willing to inform, I am willing to give a certain remuneration. I know that Lawyer Fu is making money every day, and he may not care about these small favors, but Lawyer Fu, I hope you can understand that Grandpa's death is really important to me. When Zhuang Qing said this, he was facing Fu Tingshu's gaze, and his eyes were sincere.
Fu Tingshu wavered for a moment.
He has seen all kinds of people, he can be sure that Zhuang Qing's words are a little true and a little false, she is indeed very concerned about the death of Old Man Zhuang and wants to find out the murderer urgently, but- Fu Tingshu shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you." Dr. Chong, I still believe that the less you know, the safer option for Dr. Chong. ”
Zhuang Qing's face paused slightly, she opened her lips, wanting to say something more, but in the end she could only swallow back.
"Sorry to disturb Lawyer Fu. Zhuang Qing said.
Before entering the elevator, Zhuang Qing hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I won't give up, I hope that Lawyer Fu will change his mind one day, goodbye." With that, Zhuang Qing entered the elevator.
Fu Tingshu stood at the elevator door until he saw the elevator door close, and then turned to leave.
In this world, some sympathetic tragedies happen every day, he is not a savior, not even a good person, he can't take into account the luck of others, for Zhuang Qing, the old man's kindness, Fu Tingshu thought, he has almost repaid, and those things, Zhuang Qing is not involved in the best choice for her, he still believes that his decision is correct.
However, looking at Zhuang Qing's appearance, I am afraid that it is indispensable to come to him.
Fu Tingshu sighed, he felt that this Zhuang Qing was probably not so easy to get rid of.
The bookmaker has been very lively for the past two days.
When Zhuang Qing returned home, a shed had been erected in the courtyard of the Zhuang family, and there were many people coming and going.
Seeing Zhuang Qing, everyone didn't care, there are many outsiders today, and Zhuang Qing is not the first. When Zhao Ai saw Zhuang Qing, his face changed slightly, and he just saw Huang Ying on the side, and said with a smile: "Xiaoying, take your Sister Zhuang Qing to stay inside, it's too messy outside." ”
Huang Yinghu glanced at Zhao Ai suspiciously.
Being looked at by the junior with such eyes, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Zhao Ai's face, but fortunately, Huang Ying didn't bother much, considering Zhuang Qing's situation, it was indeed better in the house.
"Sister Zhuang Qing. Huang Ying trotted to Zhuang Qing and grabbed Zhuang Qing's arm: "Let's go in." ”
Zhuang Qing reluctantly smiled and replied, "Okay."
Seeing Huang Ying take Zhuang Qing away, Zhao Ai breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuang Qing's existence can't be known by others, especially in the village, once it gets out, those who have broken mouths don't know how to bury them behind their backs, they are parents, and they have to be pierced through the backbone, patriarchal everyone, but when it comes to accidents, one is fairer than the other, and they only want to see their jokes.
Thinking of Zhuang Qing, Zhao Ai sighed again.
Her mood is very complicated.
In the past few days, she has not paid attention to Zhuang Qing at all, she still has some connections, and after a little inquiry, she knows that Zhuang Qing is now working in the third city hospital, and I heard that she is very valued by the hospital, and she is studying in a key medical school, which is a little better than Zhuang Jiangmao's university, and her daughter can be so good, Zhao Ai is a little proud, but when she thinks that this daughter is likely to bring a series of troubles to herself, Zhao Ai is more of a complaining mood.
A variety of emotions are mixed, and there may be some mother-daughter affection for Zhuang Qing, but under the temptation of money, compared to his own face, it seems so insignificant.
Zhao Ai didn't have much time to think about it, and soon someone called her, Zhao Ai was busy with these thoughts, and turned to devote herself to busy work.
The courtyard is lively, but the mourning hall is very quiet.
When Huang Ying brought Zhuang Qing over, only Zhuang Lan was guarding alone.
Zhuang Lan is the daughter of Zhuang Liqiang and Wang Shujuan, and Zhuang Qing met once yesterday.
Zhuang Qing's gaze stayed on Zhuang Lan for a while.
Zhuang Lan's eyes were a little red, obviously she had just cried. For Zhuang Lan, Zhuang Qing's mind quickly appeared with the corresponding information.
In the Zhuang family, Zhuang Lan is probably the most sober person.
The idea of preference for sons over daughters can be regarded as deeply rooted in the older generation, especially in the countryside, even in the more developed cities. Zhuang Lan, as the only granddaughter of the Zhuang family, does not take things as expensive, from childhood to adulthood, she has lived in the shadow of her brother Zhuang Jiangmao.
Zhuang Lan and Zhuang Jiangmao's brother and sister have a good relationship, but between Zhuang Liqiang and his wife, it can be said that he is cold, after Zhuang Lan got married, he rarely went home, except for some days when he had to move around, he almost broke off contact with the Zhuang family, and Zhuang Lan did not attend on the day he read the will before, and yesterday, when talking about the old man's funeral, Zhuang Lan also mostly put on an attitude of staying out of the matter.
For her, the dealer does not seem to be a home, but just a responsibility that cannot be shirked.
"Sister Zhuang Qing, this is the eldest cousin, the younger sister of Cousin Jiang Mao. Huang Ying introduced Zhuang Qing, but Zhuang Qing knew everything in his heart.
Zhuang Lan smiled at Zhuang Qing: "Zhuang Qing?"
Zhuang Qing bowed slightly, even if he had said hello.
Zhuang Lan's attitude towards Zhuang Qing is not intimate, and there is alienation in friendship.
"You stay with Grandpa, I'll go out and help. Zhuang Lan spoke, she had no intention of making more contact with Zhuang Qing.
Zhuang Qing watched Zhuang Lan leave, thinking about something in his heart.
"Sister Zhuang Qing, let's sit and say. Huang Ying pulled Zhuang Qing to sit down on the side, and without waiting for Zhuang Qing to ask, she revealed Zhuang Lan's bottom completely: "The eldest cousin is very miserable, the uncle is patriarchal, when he was in high school, he almost didn't let the eldest cousin go, and in the end, it was the grandfather who paid the tuition for the eldest cousin, and when he was admitted to college, the uncle felt that the girl's family should get married early, it would be very embarrassing, and then Jiang Mao's cousin couldn't look at it, so he stood up and spoke, the uncle attached great importance to Jiang Mao's cousin's words, and the eldest cousin had the opportunity to go to college." When she got married, too, the family arranged a lot of blind dates for her, anyway, it was quite speechless, fortunately, there was Jiang Mao's cousin, the eldest cousin was a little resentful of the uncle, and she rarely went home after getting married, she shouldn't have any bad thoughts about you, and after a long time, you will know, the eldest cousin is actually very good. ”
Zhuang Qing was a little surprised, but felt that it should be so, in this kind of deformed family, what a bitter existence her daughter is.
Zhuang Lan is not a person that Zhuang Qing needs to pay special attention to, but Zhuang Yan and Qian Zheng. Zhuang Qing's eyes fell on Huang Ying, perhaps, Huang Ying was her breakthrough.
"By the way, I think everyone seems to have arrived, Zhuang Qin, doesn't she have any children?" Zhuang Qing didn't plan to recognize her relatives, but called her by her name, and at this moment, she seemed to be simply curious about why Zhuang Qin didn't have any children around.
Huang Ying didn't notice that something was wrong, and obviously didn't expect Zhuang Qing to get the news from her: "Yes, my aunt has a son named Qian Zheng." But he's just a pistachio, he doesn't have much sense of proportion, and he often can't find anyone for a long time. Saying that, Huang Ying nuns his mouth: "My cousin is muddy, but my grandfather is very good, my grandfather has an accident this time, he probably doesn't know it, if he knows, he may not be sad." ”
"After Grandpa died, Qian Zheng hasn't appeared yet?" Zhuang Qing asked.
Huang Ying nodded and said, "Yes, my aunt is also looking for him everywhere, but I can't get in touch." ”
Zhuang Qing had some thoughts in his heart.
