Chapter 3: Plum Blossom Town (1)
There are many merchants who come and go from the south to the north in Meihua Town, so a single lady who is well-dressed and a little charming will not attract attention here.
This young lady seems to like the excitement very much, came to Meihua Town, picked the most famous local teahouse to sit down, ate fruits, drank tea, listened to small songs, walked down for a few days, the well-known restaurants in this town have been walked all over, and the food has also been eaten, so comfortable.
So when Zhao Nan found Ye Quan, she was listening to the commentary in a teahouse, with a few plates of dried fruits in front of her, and the tea in the teacup was also like a blue ring.
"It's really too much, I'm looking around the scene in Merlin Town to find evidence, but you're eating tea and listening to tunes here!"
Zhao Nan sat down, full of grievances, reached out and grabbed a handful of small walnuts, threw one directly in his mouth, and knocked it open with a bang.
Ye Liang raised his eyebrows in disgust: "It's really rude." ”
"Rough? I've been looking for news on the streets every day these days, and it's not fair that you're enjoying it here. ”
With a gabba sound, Zhao Nan bit open a small walnut again.
"I'm looking for news on the streets, so let's hear what you've heard?"
Ye Quan's eyes flashed, and he was a little teasing.
Zhao Nan really couldn't be provoked, and told him all the things he had inquired about in the past few days.
"That Yu Xiuzhi left from her classmate Xiao Hong's house, Xiao's family lives in Furong in Shanghai, it is a small businessman's family is quite solid, according to that Miss Xiao, Yu Xiuzhi left at three o'clock in the afternoon, she lived in Xiao's house for two days, because of the university registration, she applied for St. John's University."
Speaking of this, Zhao Nan picked up the teacup in front of Ye Quan and drank it in one gulp, Ye Quan sighed and didn't stop, Zhao Nan wiped his chin with his sleeve: "I'm thirsty, this tea is good, it's a little bitter, and it's defeated." ”
"It's really tasteless, are you drinking tea or drinking cattle and horses, what is a little bitter, and it is a pity that this good tea."
Ye Liang sighed, but Zhao Nan had already taken the teapot in front of her, poured another cup and drank it.
Ye Quan could only shake her head helplessly, and then her words said:
"Walk at three o'clock in the afternoon, if there is no delay on the road, I will arrive at Meilin Town at six o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky is still bright, and that Meilin is the traffic artery connecting the two towns, there is no reason to have an accident there at that time."
"How do you know it's a traffic artery?"
Zhao Nan was stunned for a moment, he remembered that he hadn't shown Ye Liang the police records, and he had never mentioned it to her.
Ye Quan was proud: "That's naturally the result of eating, drinking and having fun here in the past few days, most of the things you investigated, it is estimated that most of them are found in the teahouse restaurant in this plum blossom town, this town has really been peaceful for too long, nothing has ever happened, and the situation of the Yu family has been quite legendary in recent years, and the murder of the youngest daughter of the Yu family has already become the most lively topic in the streets."
"I think Miss Yu was delayed in the city for a while, these two towns are very prosperous, it was dark at about seven or eight o'clock, Miss Yu should have appeared there after dark."
Zhao Nan said.
"It is impossible for a young lady to go there alone, but can you find out who sent her to the woods that night?" Ye Liang gently opened the small walnuts, dug out the walnut kernels little by little, and put them on the handkerchief. During this period, Zhao Nan kept watching her movements, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.
"This has not been investigated, there are no witnesses, no one knows how she got there, I think it should be a rickshaw, I deliberately found a rickshaw to test it today, it does take about two hours to get from Xiao's box to the forest, and now I can't know where Miss Yu went after coming out of Xiao's house, who she met, whether she went by car or with others." When Zhao Nan said this, he sighed, shook his head, reached over, grabbed the handkerchief containing the walnut kernels, poured all the walnut kernels in his palm, and ate them all with his neck up.
Ye Quan shouted: "You are a person, you really will really enjoy it, is this for you to peel?" ”
"Don't be duplicitous, it's not like you want to bribe me and know more about the case?"
Zhao Nan smiled, and pushed the dried fruit plate over: "If you can work hard, what if you can peel one more plate?" Hey, my guy was bullied by you so badly, it's time to ask me to take back a little capital. ”
Ye Limit snorted and pinched a walnut a little proudly, smashed it with a small hammer, Zhao Nan was just about to reach out and take it, but Ye Limit knocked him on the hand with a small hammer and put the walnut kernel in his mouth.
"If you don't give food, you won't give it, why do you have to beat people." Zhao Nan muttered, and then heard Ye Liang say: "I have investigated, the woolen bag in the hand of Mayor Lin's son is indeed the bag that Miss Yu carries on weekdays, this Lin Gongzi is very suspicious, but unfortunately, the Lin family is now like a frightened bird, I really can't enter the Lin family, you can only think of a way." ”
It turned out that Ye Liang was not in the teahouse restaurant for enjoyment these days, and she asked for a lot of useful information.
The only son of the Lin family is called Lin Hui, according to people familiar with the Lin family, although Lin Hui has some mental problems, but he is really in love with Xiuzhi, he and Yu Xiuzhi are the same age, when he was a teenager, he met too Xiuzhi on the street, fell in love at first sight, and since then he has always gone to Yu's house to be obsessed. Later, Yu's parents died one after another, the eldest son was studying outside, Yu Xiuzhi and her cousin Xiuhe and two orphan girls, they were able to live in the town without being bullied, and they mostly relied on this Lin Gongzi, although he had some problems in his brain, after all, he was the only son of the town mayor, and everyone had to give a little thin face.
"Looking at it this way, a lot of what Xiuhe said is not the truth."
Zhao Nan frowned slightly, he was a little worried that Xiuhe would be eaten up by the contract if he told a lie.
"It's not to the extent that lying is so serious, Xiuhe, as Xiuzhi's cousin, is actually the same as her own sister, in her eyes, Xiuzhi is naturally a perfect and good sister, Lin Hui, a mentally incomplete person, thinks of her sister, of course she will be very angry, and it is also very common for her to have an opinion on the Lin family's father and son."
It's rare, what Ye Limit said is quite pertinent.
"Mayor Lin doesn't have any thoughts about Xiuzhi?"
"It's hard to say this, my fair lady and gentleman are good, not to mention that this Mayor Lin is still a middle-aged man who is only in his forties, and he can be regarded as a legitimate prime of life, and he has some thoughts about Xiuzhi, which is not too out of line."
"Father and son and wife are not out of line?" Zhao Nan was a little angry.
"I also inquired about this matter, Mayor Lin did ask the Yu family for his son, and the matchmaker was driven away by Xiuhe, but Xiuhe and his sisters were arrested by Mayor Lin not only because of this incident, but because of the rent problem, it turned out that the house where the Yu family lived for 20 years was the Lin family, and the sisters have not paid the rent since the death of the Yu family's parents, and later because his son failed to ask for marriage, Lin Daocheng was annoyed and angry, and the two things were mixed up."
Hearing this, Zhao Nan nodded: "In this way, it seems that Mayor Lin is not a completely unreasonable person. ”
"He is still reasonable, but now in order to clear the suspicion of his only son, he can't be reasonable, Lin Hui was taken to the police station for questioning, and Lin Daocheng hid at home and never showed up again."
Saying this, I heard the bustle outside the door, and someone shouted: "Go and see, the eldest girl of the Yu family went to the mayor's house with a kitchen knife to make trouble!" ”
