After Xu Aihong left the police station, she went home directly.

Gu Fanghua had just cooked a meal, and she didn't know that there was a fire in the store and Zhao Daguang was burned to death, but seeing Xu Aihong going home with a pair of swollen eyes, Gu Fanghua couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Aihong glanced at Gu Fanghua angrily, and said impatiently, "Zhao Daguang is dead." ”

Gu Fanghua was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Zhao Daguang is dead?" ”

The two of them were fine when they left home this morning, why was it only half a day, and Zhao Daguang died.

Gu Fanghua hurriedly asked, "How did Zhao Daguang die?" ”

Xu Aihong's face did not have the slightest sadness, and her eyes were full of fear and indifference after the matter was exposed.

Xu Aihong said casually, "When there was a fire in the store, he was burned to death." ”

When Gu Fanghua saw Xu Aihong's appearance, she was a little unbelieving and even a little suspicious in her heart, but at this time, Gu Fanghua didn't ask deeply, but said, "Zhao Daguang is dead, what can we do in the future?" Is the loss in the store big? ”

Xu Aihong glared at Gu Fanghua, who was chattering, "Can you say a few words?" ”

"There was such a fire, the store burned out, what else is left?"

Gu Fanghua saw that Xu Aihong was angry, and she was dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Soon, the surrounding neighbors, as well as those who worked for Xu Aihong and Zhao Daguang, also knew that the store was on fire, Zhao Daguang was burned to death, and the workers' wages for this month had not been paid, so they immediately blocked the door.

"Director Xu, we heard that Director Zhao died, and our hearts are also very uncomfortable, but there are some things that we have to make clear, right?"

"This month's wages should have been paid a long time ago, and you have been delaying the payment, saying that you will not pay us until the clothes are sold, but now that Director Zhao has been burned to death, and the clothing store is gone, what will happen to our wages?"

The reason why these workers are called Xu Aihong, the factory director, is also a rigid rule for these two people, these two people only rent a few rooms, and the scale is very small, and it is good to call them boss.

But Xu Aihong and Zhao Daguang have a good face, so they have to let the workers call them factory directors, and the workers don't care about this in order to make more money.

Xu Aihong listened to the words of the workers, suppressed the anger in her heart, and showed a touch of softness and pity on her face, "Sister-in-law Chen, as soon as my family left, you blocked the door and asked for money, this is to bully our Zhao family!" ”

The leading sister-in-law Chen listened to Xu Aihong's words, and she was also a little guilty, and said, "Director Xu, we don't want to do this either." ”

"But now in these years, it's not easy for anyone, we worked hard for you for a month, you pay us wages, this is as it should be, can't just because Director Zhao died, this salary will not be given to us, right?"

"Yes, Director Xu, our family conditions are not good, my two children are waiting for the money to pay for school!"

Seeing this scene, the surrounding neighbors couldn't help but gather, seeing that the crowd was gathering more and more, Xu Aihong was most afraid that others would pay attention to her at this time, worried that things would be exposed, and her heart was very weak.

So he said, "Sister-in-law Chen, don't worry, I will definitely give the salary, but my family has just died, can you let me delay for two days, please." ”

Sister-in-law Chen, these people are not hard-hearted, after all, Zhao Daguang just died, and they blocked the door, which is indeed a bit excessive.

But Xu Aihong and Zhao Daguang are not very creditworthy, and they always owe them wages, and they can't do anything about it.

After listening to Xu Aihong's words, Sister-in-law Chen discussed with everyone, then nodded and said, "Okay, Director Xu, then we will come to you in two days, I hope you can give us our salary at that time." ”

Xu Aihong nodded again and again, expressing her agreement, and when the workers left, Gu Fanghua said anxiously, "What can I do now?" ”

Xu Aihong didn't speak, in her heart, these are all trivial things, and what she is most worried about now is that someone suspects Zhao Daguang's death.

Zhao Daguang's matter, only two people in the world know, one is her, and the other is Zhou Fang.

Xu Aihong thought of Zhou Fang, and regretted it for a while, and she didn't know what evil she had fallen for at that time, she actually fell in love with that man, and killed Zhao Daguang by mistake for that man.

But after Zhao Daguang's death, Zhou Fang's various performances made Xu Aihong feel cold.

Just after dinner in the evening, Xu Aihong stood up and walked out, Gu Fanghua hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Xu Aihongtou didn't reply, "Don't care." ”

Gu Fanghua pursed her lips and watched Xu Aihong leave the house.

Xu Aihong knew where Zhou Fang's house was, but Zhou Fang said that he didn't go home often, but Xu Aihong was so late that she couldn't find Zhou Fang, so she could only go to Zhou Fang's door to have a look.

Zhou Fang's family is very poor, living in an alley, the house is dilapidated, two narrow huts, but there are 10 or 20 people, their clothes are patched, and they all have vegetables on their faces.

Xu Aihong didn't dare to go in, so she hid outside, waited for most of the night, and didn't see Zhou Fang, Xu Aihong could only go home unwillingly.

The next morning, when Xia Zhi went to work, Gu Beicheng asked Xia Zhi, "I heard that a clothing store in the capital caught fire yesterday and burned a person to death?" ”

After Gu Beicheng finished speaking, he looked at Xia Zhi worriedly, "The clothes are all flammable, you tell the clerks to be careful, even if there is a fire in the store, we can do without things, but people can't have problems, especially you." ”

Gu Beicheng held Xia Zhi's hand, "No amount of money can change your life, you can't have an accident and leave me and the child behind." ”

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful." ”

Old Man Gu who was sitting here, Old Lady Gu also asked, "What's the matter?" How can a fire start in a clothing store? ”

Old Man Gu thought for a while and said, "Even if there is a fire and things burn out, people should be able to escape?" ”

Xia Zhi shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this matter. ”

Xia Zhi glanced at everyone, and then said, "The person who burned to death is Xu Aihong's current husband, Zhao Daguang." ”

"What? Xu Aihong's husband? ”

Gu Beicheng and Old Man Gu, Old Lady Gu were all surprised, she didn't expect things to be so coincidental.

After Gu Beicheng was surprised, his face was calm, he had already regarded Xu Aihong as a stranger.

And Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu didn't show anything, Xu Aihong had nothing to do with the Gu family for a long time, even if her husband died, it was none of their business.

Xia Zhi rode her bicycle to work, still thinking about this matter in her mind, and she always felt that something was wrong.

After coming to the store, the clerks had already arrived, and Xia Zhi called a few clerks over, and then asked, "When the clothing store opposite caught fire yesterday, did you observe carefully, how many people ran out of the store?" ”

Several clerks glanced at each other, and one of the young men said, "Boss, I saw two people." ”

"Two people?"

The young clerk nodded and said, "One is the proprietress of the clothing store, and the other is a very handsome young man with long hair, a white shirt on the top and bell bottoms. ”

Xia Zhi listened and nodded, that young man should be Zhou Fang.

There was a fire in the store, Xu Aihong and Zhou Fang both ran out, and Zhao Daguang died, and Zhao Daguang was brought back by himself, and he came back to catch the traitor.

But the strange thing is that there was no fierce noise from the clothing store opposite, and Zhao Daguang was still dead.

Xia Zhi waved her hand and let the clerks disperse to work, she still felt that this matter was probably not so simple, even if there was a fire in the store, Zhao Daguang should not have time to run out.

The next day, Xu Aihong went to Zhou Fang's house again, this time Xu Aihong was not at the door, but went directly into Zhou Fang's house and asked where Zhou Fang was?

Brother Zhou Fang told Xu Aihong that Zhou Fang might be at the house of several of his friends, and he also told Xu Aihong the address.

Chang Mingan looked at Zhou Fang, who was lying on the bed, covering the quilt, reluctant to get up, and said helplessly, "Dude, what's wrong with you?" You've been asleep for two days, and if I tell you to get up and eat something, you won't eat, so you won't worry about starving yourself to death? ”

Zhou Fang covered the quilt, and a muffled voice came from under the quilt, "You don't care about me, I'm fine." ”

Chang Ming'an sighed, "Dude, I'm worried that you will starve yourself to death and die in my house, and I won't be able to explain it to the police uncle at that time." ”

Hearing Chang Ming'an say the word death, Zhou Fang suddenly sat up and lifted the quilt, at this time Zhou Fa no longer had the same vigor as before, he was graceful, his eyes were deep-set, his face was sallow, and he looked listless, which scared Chang Ming'an.

Chang Mingan reached out and touched Zhou Fang's forehead, but he didn't feel a fever, so he frowned and said, "Dude, what's wrong with you?" If you are sick, talk to me, although I don't have much money, but I should still have the money to treat you. ”

Zhou Fang sighed weakly, then glanced at Chang Ming'an, thought for a while, and said, "Dude, if you encounter someone killing someone, will you go to the Public Security Bureau to report the murderer?" ”

Chang Mingan didn't want to think about it, "Of course we have to report, we are the flowers cultivated by the motherland, the future successors of socialism, since we have seen that kind of vicious criminal, we naturally have to go to the public security bureau to report and arrest him, so as not to harm others again." ”

Young people in this era have a really heavy sense of responsibility, although they usually love to joke and play crazy everywhere, but these young people have a strong sense of responsibility.

After Chang Ming'an finished speaking, he noticed that something was wrong, and looked at Zhou Fang suspiciously, "Dude, don't scare me, did you really see someone killing?" ”

Seeing Chang Ming'an's uneasy face, Zhou Fang pretended to be relaxed and patted Chang Ming'an's shoulder and sneered, "Dude, I just say it casually, and you can believe it too." ”

Chang Ming'an saw Zhou Fang like this, so he relieved his heart, glanced at Zhou Fang and said, "Dude, this kind of joke can't be made casually in the future." ”

Zhou Fang nodded, and his heart was even more entangled.

Zhou Fang naturally has no feelings for Xu Aihong, he doesn't like Xu Aihong, he only likes Xu Aihong's money, he is good with Xu Aihong, and it is also for Xu Aihong's money.

But now Xu Aihong killed Zhao Daguang by mistake for him, although Zhou Fang promised to help Xu Aihong hide these things, but he was just an ordinary young man after all.

A living person died in front of him like that, as long as he thought of Zhao Daguang's death, Zhou Fang couldn't eat or sleep, Zhao Daguang's face kept wrapping around him, making him unable to sleep with peace of mind.

Chang Ming'an saw Zhou Fang's depressed look, he was also a little worried, thought about it, and suddenly laughed and patted Zhou Fang's shoulder, "Dude, let's go, eat, eat your favorite mutton." ”

Zhou Fang heard it and looked at Chang Ming'an with a smile, "Do you have the money to invite me to eat mutton shabu?" ”

Chang Mingan patted his chest with a smile and said, "Dude said that you should eat shabu mutton, then you must be rich, less nonsense, hurry up and wash your face." ”

said, and couldn't help but tease, "If you look like you today and let those women who like you see it, they will definitely kick you right away." ”

Zhou Fang listened to it and shook his head with a wry smile, where can he take care of so much now? The events of that day were like a big mountain, weighing on his heart and making him uneasy.

As soon as Chang Mingan pulled Zhou Fang out, he ran into Xu Aihong who came to find Zhou Fang.

Chang Ming'an's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Aihong, he snorted, and said with a smile, "What a rare guest, why did the proprietress think of me?" ”

Zhou Fang, who was standing behind Chang Ming'an, saw Xu Aihong's face change the moment he saw him, and his body trembled a little nervously.

Xu Aihong's gloomy eyes swept over Zhou Fang, and then smiled casually, "I'm not here to find you today, I'm here to find Zhou Fang." ”

Chang Ming'an glanced at Zhou Fang and Xu Aihong, and said with a smile, "Understood, understood, the two of you have spoken, and I will leave first." ”

After Chang Ming'an finished speaking, he patted Zhou Fang's shoulder, "Dude, it seems that we have to change the day for this meal." ”

Zhou Fang only nodded perfunctorily, Chang Mingan didn't think much about it, turned around and left.

Xu Aihong saw Chang Ming'an leaving, so she looked up at Zhou Fang and said, "Let's talk." ”

Zhou Fang had to nod.

Xu Aihong took Zhou Fang to a small park next to him, found a secluded place, and saw that there was no one around, Xu Aihong nervously grabbed Zhou Fang's arm, Zhou Fang consciously wanted to hide, but did not dodge.

Xu Aihong noticed Zhou Fang's movements, and her eyes became even more gloomy, "You didn't tell the matter." ”

Xu Aihong's eyes were staring at Zhou Fang tightly, not letting go of the slightest expression on his face.

Zhou Fang was uncomfortable by Xu Aihong, but he also shook his head and said, "No." ”

Xu Aihong was a little unconvinced, and asked again, "What about Chang Ming'an?" He doesn't know either? ”

Zhou Fang was asked impatiently, and his tone was a little bad, "Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone." ”

When Xu Aihong heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then her face changed, her expression immediately softened, and she looked at Zhou Fang pitifully, "Zhou Fang, you have to understand me, if this matter is said to be out, I will really be finished." ”

Zhou Fang's face was gloomy, and he nodded, "I know, I will not lose my word about what I promised you." ”

Xu Aihong suddenly happily threw herself into Zhou Fang's arms and said, "Zhou Fang, you are so good to me, and you will not be in vain to me, kill Zhao Daguang for you." ”

When Zhou Fang heard Xu Aihong's words, his body stiffened, resisted the urge to throw Xu Aihong out, gritted his teeth, and did not speak.
