Chapter 285: Witnesses
Mo Yanfei's eyes smiled into a crescent moon, "It's so good, I envy those who can go up the mountain to collect medicine, just like going up the mountain to pick up money, if you dig out the root ginseng, you will be rich." ”
Mrs. Zhou shook her head, "How can it be so easy." ”
"Mother, I'm back." A woman's voice came in.
Mo Yanfei looked out the window and saw a girl in her twenties walking into the courtyard from outside.
Zhou Xue walked into the inner room, saw Fu Wenpeng sitting on a chair, was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask her who her mother was.
Turning his head, he saw Mo Yanfei sitting on the kang in a police uniform, "Mother, who are these two?" ”
Mrs. Zhou introduced: "These two policemen want to ask if your father recognizes Yu Lili." ”
Mo Yanfei saw Zhou Xue, who was around twenty years old, and her facial features were quite weekly, but she had a sad face.
Mo Yanfei smiled, "Miss Zhou, have you heard of the name Lili?" ”
"No, there is no one with the surname Yu among my relatives." Zhou Xue's tone was light.
Mo Yanfei was still smiling, "Miss Zhou seems to have something on her mind." ”
"What can I have on my mind?" Zhou Xue's tone was obviously displeased.
"I was offended." Mo Yanfei put on his shoes, "Doctor Zhou won't come back until five o'clock, I'll go to Zhang's house not far away to sit down first, and I'll come back at five o'clock." ”
Mrs. Zhou said, "If you are tired, just sit at my house, why bother walking back and forth." ”
"Miss Zhou is back, Dapeng and I are sitting here, the girl's house is inconvenient, let's go out for a walk." Mo Yanfei walked out of the house as he spoke.
Fu Wenpeng followed behind Mo Yanfei, and the two of them walked out of the courtyard.
Fu Wenpeng asked softly, "Where are we going?" ”
Mo Yanfei walked forward and said happily: "The two neighbors who testified." ”
Fu Wenpeng asked puzzledly: "What are you happy about?" ”
"I've found everything I'm looking for, and I'm happy."
Fu Wenpeng scratched his head: "What are you looking for?" ”
"Is this the case?" Mo Yanfei asked, pointing to the door next door.
"There's no one in this house, the one in front." Fu Wenpeng said, leading Mo Yanfei to a house with the door of the courtyard wide open.
Mo Yanfei saw two women in their fifties sitting under the jujube tree in the yard with the soles of their shoes.
She smiled and said, "Auntie, are you busy?" ”
The two women looked up and saw Mo Yanfei in a police uniform standing at the door, and one of them said with a smile: "Yo, Miss Mo, why are you here." ”
Mo Yanfei's mind was racing fast before he remembered that this was the old maid of the Zhang family, "Aunt Yi, I was passing by here and happened to see you at the door, so I came in to say hello to you." ”
"Miss Mo, sit down." Aunt Yi took out her handkerchief and wiped the chair next to her.
"Thank you, Aunt Yi." Mo Yanfei sat on the chair, "I haven't been here for a long time, is Aunt Yi still working in the Zhang family now?" ”
"It's been a long time since I did." Aunt Yi sighed, "How can the new lady take a fancy to someone like me, since the eldest lady left, I won't do it anymore." ”
Mo Yanfei smiled faintly, "Aunt Yi is forty, right?" ”
Fu Wenpeng glanced at Mo Yanfei and muttered in his heart: What kind of eyes, this old lady is in her fifties, right?!
Aunt Yi laughed, "Miss Mo is really good at laughing, I'm almost fifty." ”
"Oh, no, I'm twenty-one, you're not going to be fifty." Mo Yanfei said, "At your age, you should enjoy light blessings at home, so why bother anymore." ”
Aunt Yi looked at Mo Yanfei, "Time flies so fast, you were still a little girl at that time, and you went to school behind the fourth master, and now you are married to the fourth master." ”
Mo Yanfei's face flushed, "Aunt Yi, I just want to inquire with you about something, you were helping with cotton work at Dr. Zhou's house the afternoon before yesterday, right?" ”
"Yes." The woman nodded, "I had lunch the day before yesterday, and the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family came to find me on purpose, and I also made an appointment with Mrs. Li." ”
Mo Yanfei blinked, "Does it take three people to make a cotton coat?" ”
"She is preparing a box for her Xiaoxue, so she specially invited me and Mrs. Li, this Quanfu person to do it." Aunt Yi explained.
"Is her Xiaoxue going to get married recently?" Mo Yanfei asked curiously.
Aunt Yi sighed, "Alas, Xiaoxue's girl is very good, and she also got married to the second son of the Sun family last year." But in the past two years, her father has lost money for everything, and a while ago I heard that the Sun family was going to quit their family. ”
The woman sitting on the side muttered: "This can't be blamed on the Sun family for quitting the family, who marries a daughter-in-law, and doesn't want to take care of the right person in the future." Xiaoxue's family owes so much money outside, even if the Sun family is good at Xiaoxue and doesn't want a dowry, can Xiaoxue ignore her mother's family? That kind of mother's family is a bottomless pit, who dares to marry! ”
Aunt Yi echoed: "You are right, with Dr. Zhou's tossing energy, ordinary people really don't dare to marry his girl." ”
Mo Yanfei frowned, "I'm going to quit my family, why does the Zhou family still make things for packing?" ”
Aunt Yi sighed: "Alas, which mother doesn't feel sorry for her girl, Xiaoxue and her mother also have her plans." ”
Mo Yanfei fiddled with the ring in his hand, "I don't know which Sun family Xiaoxue Xu is?" ”
"It's the second son of the blacksmith Sun's family on Front Street." Aunt Yi replied.
The woman on the side sighed: "At the beginning, it was Sunsmith's family who climbed the Zhou family, but now Blacksmith Sun complains about Zhao Matchmaker every day, saying that he delayed him to hold his grandson." ”
Mo Yanfei smiled, "Look at me, I chatted for a long time and forgot about business." Sheriff Sun asked me to check again, what time did Dr. Zhou arrive home the day before yesterday? ”
"Oh." Aunt Yi approached Mo Yanfei and asked in a low voice, "Miss Mo, do you suspect that Dr. Zhou killed that Mr. Chen?" ”
"You can't say that." Mo Yanfei waved his hand and said, "Before the police identify the murderer, everyone who has dealings with the deceased has to be questioned. ”
The two women would not believe Mo Yanfei's explanation, they knew that the police would not come to the door for no reason.
Aunt Yi thought for a while, "The day before yesterday, Dr. Zhou entered the house with a medical box, and his daughter-in-law asked him why he came back at five o'clock. I glanced at the wall clock, and the hands were just over five o'clock. ”
"And then you go on with your work?" Mo Yanfei asked.
"She's all back, how can we continue to stay in her house." Aunt Yi said with a smile, "I cleaned up with Old Li Po and came back." ”
Mo Yanfei asked, "When you got home, what time was it?" ”
Aunt Yi hesitated, "Five-fifteen." As soon as I got home, it was time to make dinner, so I glanced at the clock. ”
Mo Yanfei frowned, "The Zhou family didn't take a few steps to get to you, why did it take so long?" ”
"It's been a long time." Aunt Yi muttered.
