Chapter 5: Plum Blossom Town (3)
Lin Hui clapped his hands and smiled: "Let's talk, let's talk, Dad, come on, it's Sister Xiuzhi." β
This young man is really naΓ―ve.
Zhao Nan stood still and didn't move, and Mayor Lin had already walked in.
"This brother, I don't know where my friend is, since he is here, just ask me if there is anything, the dog is not in good health, I'm afraid there are many things that can't be said clearly."
Mayor Lin arched his hand at Zhaonan, and Lin Hui on the side stopped doing it, and cried with a pout: "Dad, you say bad things about me again." β
Such a big young man cried when he said he cried, and he cried very sadly. Zhao Nan was stunned for a moment, and Mayor Lin walked over and hugged his son's shoulders to comfort him.
"Don't speak ill of me." Lin Hui muttered while wiping his tears.
Mayor Lin nodded: "Okay, okay, cry again, Miss Xiuzhi is going to laugh at you again." β
As soon as he heard Xiuzhi laugh at him, Lin Hui immediately wiped away his tears: "Dad, I won't cry anymore, if you ask someone to go to Xiuzhi's house to propose marriage, I will be obedient." β
Mayor Lin coaxed his son into the house to sleep: "Okay, I'll send someone, you go to sleep, good." β
"Don't snatch my bag, it's mine, Xiuzhi gave it to me."
Lin Hui wrapped the wool in it. Mayor Lin closed the door and sighed: "This gentleman, you have seen it all, this kid is really simple-minded, it is impossible to do anything murderous." β
At the same time, he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and Zhao Nan was not polite, and followed him out of the backyard to a pavilion in the front yard and sat down.
When Mayor Lin saw that Zhao Nan had taken off his black veil and revealed his true appearance, he asked, "Sir, but is he from the police station?" β
"I'm a reporter, I'm more interested in this matter, I saw Xiuhe girl outside your house today, and I heard that Ling Lang came back with Xiuzhi girl's woolen bag on the day of Miss Xiuzhi's murder, and I was curious, so I came to ask."
Zhao Nan said that he was high-sounding, and he resolutely did not mention that he came in over the wall in the middle of the night and pretended to be a ghost.
"What do you want to know? My son is mentally handicapped, what news do you want from his mouth? Mayor Lin suddenly raised his voice, obviously unhappy.
"What are you doing with such a loud voice? Scaring people? β
In the quiet night, there was a woman's chuckle, and there was an indescribable smell of coquettishness in the laughter. Mayor Lin was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up, and a woman walked in with a lantern.
The light shone on her face, delicate and a little weird.
The Lin family is also a big local family, and there are guards at home, how did this woman swagger in with a lantern?
Mayor Lin looked at Ye Liang who came over and then at Zhao Nan, and there was a kind of panic in his heart. This man came in over the wall, and he knew this very well, so how did this woman appear quietly?
Ye Liang saw a trace of fear slipping across his face, smiled, and put the horse lantern on the table: "Mayor Lin thinks that the house is heavily guarded?" β
Without waiting for Mayor Lin to reply, she sighed: "It's a pity that in my opinion, there are many flaws, of course, even if you increase the manpower tenfold, you can't prevent me." What I want to do, no one can stop. She also reached out and scratched her neck, although she smiled, but the threat was obvious.
Mayor Lin is not a stupid person, although he is also annoyed that Ye Quan's words are full of threats, but he understands the actual situation, he really doesn't know how this woman came in, if this person is armed with a weapon, it is really taking the life of his own family and entering a no-man's land, so he doesn't want to have any verbal disputes, and he doesn't want to offend her when he can't figure out the number of ways for this woman, so he nodded and said: "What you said is very true, Miss is really a master, but I don't know what happened to visit late at night." β
"Like him, I want to ask Ling Lang about Yu Xiuzhi."
Ye Liang sat down, sighed and said, "Don't hide it, I was sent by Senior Commander Yu, and my surname is Ye." β
Mayor Lin knew that Yu Xiuzhi's brother was the head of the regiment, but he didn't expect to be promoted to division commander so soon. He didn't dare to provoke these Qiu Ba who had guns and people, so he nodded and said: "Mr. Yu also came out of our town, what kind of person am I, Lin someone, the town is obvious to all, even if Mr. Yu has military power, he can't just wronged me." Ye Limit sneered: "Wronged? Mayor Lin, everyone is a smart person, open the skylight and say, our division commander really wants to invite Ling Lang to sit, and Ling Lang is also of the age of being a soldier. β
Mayor Lin slapped the table: "Don't go too far, Hui'er is not mentally complete, how can you become a soldier?" β
"I don't know if I like Miss Xiuzhi, I will stick to it, if I have grown up, I will pay it back?" Ye Liang deliberately angered him.
Mayor Lin calmed down, sat down and asked, "That woolen bag was really picked up by Hui'er." β
"Xiuzhi grew up in our town, and even if I watched it grow up, this child was killed, and I didn't feel good. Yes, I have thought about it, but there is no way, I have a son of Hui'er, and I have not remarried over the years because I am worried that Hui'er is different from other children, if I marry my wife and Hui'er after I go home, I am worried that Hui'er will be wronged in the future. Later, when I saw that Hui'er liked Xiuzhi, I thought it would be better to ...... It's not as good as ......."
Mayor Lin hesitated, not knowing how to continue.
"Why don't you marry Lin Hui's wife in name, but actually be your wife? It's a shame that you came up with such a disgusting solution. Zhao Nan sneered when he heard this.
"Hui'er likes Xiuzhi, but he really can't ...... it"
Mayor Lin's voice sank: "Hui'er took too much medicine when he was a child, and his body was broken, he couldn't walk humanely, no matter how much he liked Xiuzhi, he could only just look at it." β
"Oh? Are you sure he can't...... Can't do that kind of thing? β
As soon as Ye Limit raised his eyebrows, he listened to Zhao Nan cough dryly, Ye Limit didn't care, his eyes were shining, and he stared at Mayor Lin.
"I always bathe him, of course I know where he is...... It's no different from a child, even if you marry Xiuzhi home, you can't do anything, you can't pass on the ancestry, I will also be blinded by lard, thinking that since Hui'er likes it, it's better to marry back, nominally Hui'er's wife, but actually her stepmother, Hui'er will not suffer in the future, after all, with that name, I can rest assured that I will die in the future. β
Speaking of this, he couldn't help patting his head: "I'm also confused, and I have that kind of dirty mind." β
"Then how did Miss Xiuzhi's woolen bag get into Lin Hui's hands?"
Zhao Nan knew that Yu Xiuzhi was raped and killed, and since Lin Hui's body was not developed, he couldn't do that kind of thing, but he was not allowed to kill Xiuzhi.
"It was really Hui'er who picked it up, he told me when he went home, saying that Xiuzhi had gone bad, and he was with a foreign student with glasses, and the two of them were arguing a few words at the time, Xiuzhi threw the bag away angrily, Hui'er didn't dare to step forward, so he secretly picked up the bag and went home."
Speaking of this, he got up and said, "At that time, there was still some miscellaneous items in the bag, and I didn't hand it over to the police, so I will show it to the two of you." β
"Why didn't you hand it over to the police?" Ye Liang asked, "Since the bag was really picked up by Lin Hui, why didn't you hand it over to the police as evidence?" β
"Alas, Miss Ye, it's better to have more than one thing, how dare I make trouble again, Hui'er picked up something and came back to be seen, there are rumors in the town, I don't want to get into a lawsuit."
Soon, Mayor Lin took out a cloth bag from the house, and when he opened it, there was a notebook, an embroidered wallet, and a comb and a small mirror, which could be seen to be a young woman's belongings.
Ye Liang picked up the hardcover notebook and saw a line written on the second page: Shen Dong, English of Soochow University.
Who is this Shen Dong? Why is his book in Xiuzhi's bag?
