Chapter 131: Only with the heart can we see the truth
Ye August excitedly handed her hand to Ling Heng, and a piece of cloth the size of a fingernail with a blue flower on a gray background appeared in her palm.
"This is the fabric of Mrs. Cui's clothes!" Ling Heng recognized at a glance who the owner of this fabric was.
Ye August's eyes immediately emitted two bright lights of hope, "That's right! She's wearing this fabric this morning! It seems that my suspicions are accurate, and it was really her who followed us last night! ”
Ling Heng took the fabric with a solemn expression, and looked at it carefully, "This fabric is indeed on her clothes, but it's ......"
"But what?" Ye August asked puzzled.
Ling Heng carefully put the fabric in the pocket of his shirt, and did not continue the topic just now, but said, "Let's go, let's go back first." ”
Ye August looked at him strangely, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
As soon as they walked from under the tree to the road, they saw a man.
Qiao Meishi, dressed in sportswear, was running lightly from a distance to this side.
"Jo Meishi? Is she going for a morning jog? Ye August was surprised by her appearance.
Ling Heng didn't expect Qiao Meishi to be a morning jogging enthusiast.
Ling Heng observed her for a few seconds before saying, "Judging from her state, she looks like a person who has been running for a long time. Let's go say hello to her. ”
"Good!" Ye August nodded, and immediately adjusted a natural smile.
"Sister-in-law, it's early! I didn't expect you to like morning jogging! No wonder you're in such good shape! Ye August greeted Qiao Meishi familiarly, smiling very sweetly.
Qiao Meishi waved her hand at them energetically, smiling brightly, "Why did you get up so early?" Isn't it a good night's sleep? ”
"The two of us usually wake up early. Sister-in-law, how long do you run every day? Ye August continued to ask.
"I have to run for about 40 minutes every day, and during this time, I haven't run much when I'm busy getting married, and both legs are sinking." Qiao Meishi's answer was natural, and her healthy complexion was enough to prove that she was a long-term exerciser.
Ye August and Ling Heng quickly exchanged glances, and Ling Heng continued: "There are not many people who can have such healthy habits, it can be seen that you are very persevering. Then we'll stop bothering, see you later! ”
Qiao Meishi smiled and nodded, "Well, I'll see you later!" ”
The two of them stared at Qiao Meishi's back for a while, and Ling Heng couldn't help but ask, "Do you think she is really not worth doubting?" ”
Ye August said affirmatively: "Physical evidence has been found, do you still need to suspect her?" ”
Ling Heng looked at Ye August meaningfully, and pointed to the pocket on his chest, "Don't believe too much in the so-called physical evidence, don't forget, sometimes the eyes can also deceive people, only by looking at the world with your heart can you see the truth." ”
After speaking, Ling Heng walked forward on his own.
However, Ye August was not very convinced by Ling Heng's preaching, she still thought that the physical evidence was the best evidence, and she was determined to reveal the true face of Mrs. Cui.
As soon as they went back, they smelled the smell of rice, and Choi Hoon also got up and was setting up the dishes and chopsticks.
"You two are back? Did you not sleep well last night? Choi Hoon looked guilty.
Ling Heng smiled and said, "We slept well. We just saw my sister-in-law jogging in the morning, and this perseverance is really admirable. ”
Hearing that his daughter-in-law was praised, Cui Xun scratched his head embarrassedly, "Hehe, she just has such a hobby, she is usually busy with work, and she only has time to exercise in the morning." ”
"What does my sister-in-law do?" Ye August took the opportunity to ask.
"Oh, she's a nurse." Cui Xun said, and beckoned them again, "Come and sit, don't wait for her, let's eat first." ”
Ye August glanced at the kitchen suspiciously, "What about aunts and uncles?" They get up early in the morning to get busy, why don't they come to breakfast? ”
Cui Xun pointed to the back garden, "The two of them went to the garden to pick vegetables and prepare to eat at noon." By the way, how do you plan to stay for a few days, how do you want to find Brother Cheng and them? ”
"We had breakfast and left." Ling Heng said decisively.
Cui Xun asked puzzledly: "Aren't you looking for Brother Cheng and them?" Why are you leaving so soon? ”
Ling Heng said calmly: "We want to find them as soon as possible, but our ability is limited, so let's not make a mess, and leave the matter of finding them to the police." ”
Cui Xun nodded helplessly, "What you said is also true, this matter can only rely on the police." I've told the police everything I know, and the two of them left without any misery, and as you know, it's not that far from here to the city, and you won't get lost even if you don't have to navigate. Alas, it's really an evil gate, did they cross over? ”
"Don't worry about it, the police are not decorations, the two of them must be fine!"
Mrs. Cui walked in with a handful of vegetables, and Uncle Cui followed behind her, covering his mouth and coughing, looking unrefreshed.
As soon as they saw Old Lady Cui, Ling Heng and Ye August were all nervous, and the two of them carefully looked at her from head to toe, and sure enough, there was a small gap on the right side of her clothes that she didn't even realize.
Ling Heng took the dish in her hand with great discernment, Cui Xun came over to help Uncle Cui, and said to him: "Dad, these two are my friends, they came last night, you drank wine and went to bed early last night, and you didn't see them." ”
Uncle Cui looked at Ling Heng and Ye August and said politely to them, "Hello guys!" I'm really sorry, I drank too much last night and slept first, and I didn't say hello to you. ”
"Uncle, you are too polite, in fact, we took the liberty to disturb ......"
Ling Heng was continuing to be polite, but Old Lady Cui interrupted him, "Don't be polite, come and eat, the dishes will be cold in a while!" ”
A few people came to the dinner table and sat down, and Ye August said quietly: "Auntie, do you have any discomfort when you get up this morning?" ”
Mrs. Cui replied confusedly: "I'm fine, nothing uncomfortable." Why do you ask? ”
Ye August thought to herself, Mrs. Cui is really scheming, her expression and tone are naturally without the slightest flaw, if she hadn't seen the missing corner of her clothes, she really would have to believe that Mrs. Cui is an ordinary old lady.
Ye August immediately glanced at Ling Heng, Ling Heng understood what she meant, and smiled slightly at Old Lady Cui, "Auntie, do you know that you are sleepwalking?" ”
"What? Sleepwalking? Old Lady Cui looked at Ling Heng incredulously, not only her, but also Uncle Cui and Cui Xun also showed stunned looks.
"Judging by the looks on your faces, it's clear that you don't know about her sleepwalking." After Ling Heng finished speaking, he first quickly observed everyone's reactions, and then continued: "Aunt Cui got up in the middle of the night last night and sleepwalked, I was worried that it would not be safe for her to go out in the middle of the night, so I followed her and saw her go to that room. ”
Ye August then said: "I also saw it, Auntie's behavior is really worrying." ”
"How can such a thing happen?" Cui Xun looked at Mrs. Cui in disbelief, and a worried look appeared on her face.
Old Madam Cui frowned and shook her head, "When did I have such a problem?" Why don't I know at all? ”
Uncle Cui patted her arm, "People will inevitably cause problems when they are older, but fortunately, these two young people found you, or no one will know if you just go out of the gate." ”
Mrs. Cui let out a long sigh, "Alas, this is not a good problem, I heard that sleepwalkers can unlock the lock even if they lock him, as if they have a special function." If you can't keep an eye on me, I'll have to run out in the middle of the night, and I'll probably disappear. ”
As soon as he heard the word "missing", Cui Xun's face became even more ugly, and he immediately said worriedly: "I'll take you to the city today to see a doctor, there should be a cure for sleepwalking, right?" ”
"By the way, my sister-in-law also saw my aunt sleepwalking last night, and helped her back with us." Ye August said it lightly, and did not say in detail what Qiao Meishi appeared last night.
When Cui Xun heard this, the astonishment on his face increased a little, and then he said guiltily: "She also saw my mother sleepwalking last night?" Why didn't she tell me? Alas, I slept to death last night, and I don't know about her getting up, my son and husband are incompetent! ”
Ling Heng immediately comforted him, "You must have been busy lately, so it's normal to sleep heavily." Now that you know about Auntie's sleepwalking, take her to the city for a check-up as soon as possible, and you can rest assured that she can be cured of her sleepwalking. ”
"Hmm!" Cui Xun answered, and then said to Mrs. Cui: "Mom, don't worry, let's go into the city after eating!" ”
"I'm back." Qiao Meishi walked in with a ruddy face.
"You're back pretty early today, come and eat." Cui Xun thoughtfully served porridge for her.
As soon as Qiao Meishi sat down, Cui Xun whispered in her ear: "Why didn't you tell me about my mother's sleepwalking last night?" ”
Qiao Meishi immediately looked at Ling Heng and Ye August, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she also whispered to Cui Xun: "I was in too much of a hurry in the morning, I didn't have time to tell you." ”
Cui Xun didn't complain much about Qiao Meishi, but felt that it was very worrying that Mrs. Cui suddenly had a problem of sleepwalking.
"After breakfast, let's take my mother into the city to see a doctor, and cure her sleepwalking as soon as possible."
But Cui Xun still couldn't hide the gloom on his face, and he cried bitterly in his heart, not knowing why so many things happened during his new marriage.
Qiao Meishi immediately asked, "What about Brother Ling?" Let's go, what will they do? ”
"They'll be gone in a minute." Cui Xun said with a bitter face.
Qiao Meishi immediately looked at Ling Heng and Ye August questioningly, "Aren't you looking for Brother Cheng and his wife?" Why is this gone? ”
Ling Heng shook his head helplessly, "Our ability is limited, so we will still wait for news from the police." ”
"Didn't you run for nothing?" Qiao Meishi said, I don't know if it was intentional, and her eyes stayed on Mrs. Cui for a moment.
Ye August has been observing the family's expressions, Uncle Cui is an ordinary old man, Cui Xun doesn't seem to know anything, and the most suspicious person is Mrs. Cui.
But suddenly, Ye August inadvertently glanced at the ground, and found that Qiao Meishi's shoes were stained with a little red on the side.
Ye August secretly touched Ling Heng's leg, and Ling Heng immediately followed her gaze knowingly, and his face changed suddenly.
