Chapter 42: Catch the Real Culprit
"I see!" Chi Yue suddenly realized, "Did someone secretly buy that person and ask him to help him teach the victim a lesson?" In this way, everyone could not suspect the person, and when they suspected the real murderer, they could not find out anything! ”
Listening to Chi Yue's reasoning, Mu Chen bowed his head, "Miss Chi is so smart, no wonder she is able to find another way to start a business that others can't do at a young age." ”
Chi Yue was absent-minded about Mu Chen's praise, but there was another thing on her mind.
Isn't the story Mu Chen told exactly like what she was experiencing?
It is highly likely that the person who tramples on the mushroom field that destroys her will be used by those who hate her, if not those who hate her.
It's just the old mansion, and the down-and-out Mo family, where does the money come from to hire people who are not afraid of death?
Unless it's the village chief's house.
Chi Yue narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Miss Chi, can you sit down and have a meal together?" Mu Chen said to Chi Yue, who was standing there thoughtfully.
On the side, steaming delicacies are constantly served to the table.
Chi Yue shook her head and said firmly: "Thank you Boss Mu for your kindness, it's just that the little girl still has some things to deal with, so let's leave first." ”
As he spoke, he turned away.
After walking a few steps, Chi Yue thought of something, turned around and asked: "By the way, thinking about the ending of that story, it is natural that Boss Mu went to report to the official, and then the wicked man finally got the evil reward, yes or no?" ”
Unexpectedly, Mu Chen shook his head, "I didn't report to the official, I just left and went to the next place." ”
Chi Yue blinked in surprise, "Then why didn't you report to the official?" Don't you want to see the wicked rewarded and the victims compensated? ”
"Good and evil will be decided, why should I be concerned?" Mu Chen's cold thin lips said casually, "Those whose land is trampled on have their own antecedents, and the wicked have not yet been rewarded, just because the merit has not yet been enjoyed." I'm just a passer-by, watching some ups and downs, clouds going up and down. ”
Although Chi Yue said that her mind was mature, these words in the clouds and fog made her scratch her head.
"When I finish this matter, one thousand taels of liquidated damages will be delivered on time." Chi Yue solemnly assured.
"One thousand taels of silver are free." Mu Chen's words once again caught her by surprise, "Because of this force majeure, in my opinion, it is not your fault. ”
So, she didn't break the contract?
Chi Yue looked at him intently for a while, but she couldn't see through this person.
"Thank you!" Chi Yue bowed, thought about it, and added, "If there are any business opportunities in the future, I will tell you the first one and make a fortune together." ”
Looking at Chi Yue's smiling face, Mu Chen laughed, "Okay, I'll wait!" ”
Out of the natural residence, Chi Yue hired a carriage and ran back to Wuxiang Village non-stop.
She came to Xu Er's house first.
Xu Er has always been ashamed of Chi Yue, and when he saw her, he couldn't raise his head in shame, "Chi Yue, isn't there an eyebrow in that matter?" ”
Chi Yue didn't answer, and asked straight to the point: "Let me ask you, who poured you the wine that night?" ”
"That day my niece got married, and I drank more of it myself, and I poured it into my own with many village buddies." Xu Er raised his eyes and thought about it, "There is ......"
counted a few people, and added, "Among them, the one who poured me the most is my second aunt's grandson Xu Qiang." I haven't seen you for a long time, and he has to get drunk with me......"
Chi Yue was a little disappointed.
She thought she could start here and narrow down the search. But it seems that Xu Er was drunk himself, and then someone took the opportunity to commit the crime.
She went back to the house, but she didn't expect that the silhouette was waiting at home.
Seeing Chi Yue, he said, "Miss Chi, my son-in-law heard that there was no progress in your matter, so he sent me to investigate." There were also other guards waiting around, ready to be sent by the girl at any time. ”
Chi Yue was shocked, Gu Han actually had a secret guard? There are inevitably too many masters around him, so I will take the opportunity to ask him for a few next time.
She nodded, there are a few pervasive masters such as silhouettes, this small five-spice village, I'm afraid I can't find the evildoer!
"Let me go and check the homes of those who have nothing to do with my family and who have the strength to do so."
Unexpectedly, Chi Yue would give such an order, if it was replaced by the previous two officials, I am afraid that they would have stopped doing it a long time ago, and it would not be possible to ask for a reason that could prompt them to do it.
But the silhouette is a silhouette after all, he is Gu Han's subordinate. In the past, no matter how many inexplicable orders Gu Han had, he had to obey the orders without asking the cause and effect, and never procrastinate.
Gu Ying told him to obey Chi Yue absolutely, so he obeyed Chi Yue.
After some inspection, when the sun set, I finally had an eyebrow.
"According to the Dark Guard, there are traces of mushrooms on the hoe in a yard." The silhouette said, "I went to investigate again, and found that the person's name is Xu Qiang, in his thirties, he used to be a gangster who did not do his job, and he lost all his family fortune due to gambling a few years ago, which caused his wife to be separated, and he has been in a slump since then." Recently, somehow, he appeared in the casino in the town again, losing more and winning less, and the few dollars in his hand were about to be empty again. ”
Xu Qiang...... Chi Yue remembered what Xu Er said, and became more and more sure that it was him.
"Where did he get the money, and how much money he had, do you know?" Chi Yue asked.
The silhouette shook his head, "Time is in a hurry, these have not been checked for the time being." However, according to the owner of the casino, this man has brought more money in recent days than in the past five or six years combined, and wonders where he made his windfall. ”
"That's right." Chi Yue's eyes lit up with excitement, like a cat seeing a mouse coming out of the hole, "Someone must have hired him for a lot of money to dig down my mushroom field!" ”
She geared up and led the two officials and said, "Let's arrest someone!" ”
Seeing that things finally had an eyebrow, as if the clouds were clearing, the Zhou family was sad and scattered, and they smiled.
Very smoothly, in Xu Qiang's house, several people successfully caught him.
Seeing Xu Qiang's beard and ragged clothes, like a beggar, even if he was carried by someone, he didn't forget to grab the wine barrel in his hand, and refused to let the wine spill.
"Why do you let me go, why do you arrest me? Let me go, or I'll go to the village chief and ask him to administer justice!" ”
"The village chief?" Chi Yue walked up and down in front of him and looked at him funny, "Why don't you go directly to the county magistrate, but the village chief?" It's the county magistrate's person who caught you, and the village chief only came forward to help with errands, and it wasn't his turn to speak. ”
Hearing this, Xu Qiang's eyes became more and more anxious, "Why do you let me go?" If I don't go to the county master's place, I won't go to ......."
Xu Qiang acted like a young child, making people cry and laugh.
Chi Yue thought of the ridiculous things he had done in the first half of his life, and felt that it was perfect for this childish match.
People who can do whatever it takes for money, who can ignore the laws of kings and gods, are probably the only ones who have confused thinking, have no moral constraints, and act without rules.
"It's up to you." The officials said, carrying Xu Qiang, who was crazy, and escorted him to the city.
The next day, the good news came.
Xu Qiang could not resist torture to extract a confession, and confessed to his crimes.
But it turned out that it was the village chief's daughter, Fat Ya, who privately gave Xu Qiang a heavy sum of money and hired him to take revenge on Chi Yue.
Going around and around, the culprit turned out to be a fat girl!
The fat girl was arrested by the officials and taken to see the official.
When the village chief heard this, he was very frightened and hurried to find Chiyue.
Chi Yue was keeping accounts in the workshop, and the village chief didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, and chased closely behind the busy Chi Yue, and said in a low voice: "Chi Yue, do you know that the fat girl was arrested by the people in the county government?" ”
"Really? Because of what? Chi Yue pretended to be surprised and looked up at him.
"Naturally, it's because of your mushroom field." The village chief was embarrassed to speak, but he had to say, paused and continued, "Hey, it's all my fault, I made my daughter look like this, and I didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and I did this thing behind my back. It's all my fault and her mother, it's all our fault! ”
As he spoke, his face was full of shame, and he was about to shed old tears.
Chi Yue didn't raise her eyes, she kept her accounts by herself, and it seemed that the village chief's self-blame had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that the verbal bitter meat trick didn't work for Chi Yue, the village chief had no choice but to change his strategy, knelt down with a "poof" to Chi Yue, and began to stage an upgraded version of the bitter meat trick that was even more moving to others.
"Chi Yue, you have to help the fat girl, she just can't figure it out for a while, that's why she treats you like this. Don't worry, I will compensate you for all the crops you have lost, and I will compensate you twice, how about it? If you are not idle enough, even if you put forward the conditions, as long as you can let my daughter go, her mother and I will burn incense in front of the Bodhisattva every day and worship the Buddha and pray for you! ”
Chi Yue snorted coldly, "There's no need to burn incense and worship the Buddha." It's just that I want to ask you, do you think this matter can be solved with money? Fat girl is a person who has regarded money like dung since she was a child, and even if you spend more money to solve problems for her, she will not know gratitude. ”
The village chief also knew this reason, and asked cautiously: "Then what do you think should be done?" ”
"I just want her to suffer a few days in prison, so that she can have a long memory."
Chi Yue's cold words were resolute and uncompromising, and the village chief knew that she had made up her mind, so he had to reluctantly say, "Just a few days, right?" Okay, I hope that in a few days, Chi Yue will raise your noble hand and let the county government release my daughter back. When the time comes, I will carry her and come to you to make amends to you in person! ”
When the village chief left, Xiaocui came over and said to Chi Yue: "I didn't expect that the mastermind behind this scene was a fat girl, I thought she was just lazy to eat, where did I think she also had such a vicious mind." It's incredible that you only said a few words to her, and she held a grudge so much, and for so long. ”
Chi Yue also felt strange.
Yes, two months have passed, and the fat girl has made something out of nothing, hating her to such a deep extent, to deliberately plot sabotage, what is it for?
Is it because of jealousy? But since she treats money like dung, how can she be jealous of her thriving career?
When the fat girl comes back, she will have to ask carefully.
It's a pity that she never expected that she would never have this opportunity in the future.
The next day, the government issued a document to remove the village head of Wuxiang Village.
The village chief stepped down, fearing that people who had offended him would come to the door to find trouble, so he fled with his family that night with a portable package.
As for the fat girl, after being released by the county government, she disappeared in an instant.
Later, Chi Yue learned that the decision to remove the village head was done by the county magistrate Wen Xing to slap Gu Han, because Wen Xing could see that Gu Han was very concerned about her affairs.
It's just that he did something bad with good intentions, and Chi Yue is not grateful.
