Chapter 65

The fruit farmer frowned: "That's too much. Usually, I leave after two days of work. But I have kept accounts, and my mother and I want to see them."

As the fruit grower said, he took out an account book from the drawer of the chest of drawers and handed it to Jiang Wenchi. Jiang Wenchi browsed quickly, and soon his eyes stopped on a familiar name.

—— Zhuo Meng.

"Zhuo Meng? Is it Ah Meng from the homestay?"

Walking out of the fruit farmer's house, Li Yiran asked Jiang Wenchi: "I remember Xiao Jiang, didn't you say that the two of them have no serious problems?"

Jiang Wenchi was a little embarrassed: "I just thought it was unreasonable for Xiaohe to use Ah Meng."

Li Yiran nodded and looked at Qin Chuan: "Captain Qin, then tomorrow, shall we first investigate Mutian or Ah Meng?"

Qin Chuan: "Split up, Xiao Jiang and I will go to investigate Ah Meng and Xiao He, and you and Xuanzi will go to Mu Tian's house as soon as we get the search warrant. Check carefully, this Mu Tian seems to be very clean, if it is really The suspect, the evidence should have been cleared by him, and no detail should be missed."

Everyone: "Yes!"

Early the next morning, Jiang Wenchi and Qin Chuan had already knocked on the door before the B&B opened.

When Ah Meng came to open the door, he was shirtless, wearing a pair of black sports shorts, his long hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and he was frowning with displeasure.

I have to say that there is a sense of wild and unruly sex.

If Jiang Wenchi hadn't seen him beside Xiaohe, with red eyes choking like a wronged child, he would be more sexual.

Sensing Jiang Wenchi's relentless gaze, Qin Chuan coughed displeasedly, and Jiang Wenchi immediately lowered his head and looked away.

After all, in front of leaders, the moral foundation of no evil should be observed.

"Sorry to bother you two again, we..."

"The two police officers have any questions, just ask."

Xiaohe's ethereal voice sounded a little more moderate today, her hair was still stained with water, she must have just taken a shower, and she was wearing a long skirt of avocado green, standing tall and graceful like fresh grass after the rain, with her name Very well proportioned.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiaohe appeared, the impatient expression on Ah Meng's face disappeared instantly. Then, under Xiaohe's signal, he politely welcomed Jiang Wenchi and Qin Chuan into the inn.

Xiaohe thoughtfully poured a cup of mung bean paste for Jiang Wenchi and Qin Chuan.

"I made it with my own hands, you two have a taste, it's refreshing."

Jiang Wenchi took a sip of the bowl politely, and was full of praise immediately: "Xiaohe's craftsmanship is really good, this bean paste is much better than the one I bought in the drink shop in Xinchuan, it is sweet and refreshing, not at all greasy."

Xiaohe smiled: "I added yellow rock sugar and orange peel produced in the village. If Officer Jiang likes it, I'll bring you some when I leave."

Jiang Wenchi waved his hand: "That's not allowed. If you come to visit and even eat and take food, you will be disciplined."

As Jiang Wenchi said, he secretly glanced at Qin Chuan with a serious face, and winked playfully at Xiaohe.

Xiaohe smiled knowingly, and did not continue this topic.

The seemingly relaxed and cheerful atmosphere was quickly broken by Qin Chuan.

"Ah Meng, where were you around eleven o'clock the night before yesterday?"

Qin Chuan cut to the point and asked very directly.

Ah Meng was stunned for a moment, then looked nervously at Xiao He.

Xiaohe smiled reassuringly at him: "It's okay, it's okay to tell Captain Qin, it's not something you can't say."

Ah Meng nodded, and then answered Qin Chuan: "At that time, Xiaohe and I were in the hometown of Zhai."

Jiang Wenchi and Qin Chuan looked at each other, with some doubts: "Zhai's hometown? You are so late, what are you going to Zhai's hometown for?"

Ah Meng opened his mouth, but he didn't seem to be able to organize his words well, so he looked at Xiaohe again.

Xiaohe smiled helplessly, and said, "Old Zhai helped us so much, and he just disappeared. We have to show our hearts. But you also know those ridiculous rumors in the village..."

Jiang Wenchi came to a sudden: "So you chose to go at night?"

Xiaohe nodded: "Yes. We originally wanted to send our hearts and leave, but we didn't expect..."

When Xiaohe said this, his eyes were a bit bitter, and he stroked the hair on the side of his ear helplessly. Only then did Jiang Wenchi realize that there were a few scratches on one side of Xiaohe's cheek. Nails cut through the skin left behind.

"You were beaten in Zhai's hometown?"

Jiang Wenchi thought of Mrs. Zhai's trembling and submissive appearance, and felt a little incredible.

Xiaohe smiled wryly and nodded: "I knew they would be angry when they saw me, but I didn't expect to be so angry. The old lady doesn't know anything about Mr. Zhai's funding for us..."

Xiaohe sighed when she said this, and her eyes were red: "If I had known, I shouldn't have gone, I shouldn't have told her about this, the old man in Zhai is gone, and I added trouble to the old lady, I didn't think about it." week."

Jiang Wenchi: "Does she not know anything about the family's financial situation? The elder Zhai gave you so much money, and she didn't know until she saw you the night before?"

Xiaohe nodded: "Yeah, we didn't expect this to happen. I thought at the time, pay more this time, and then give the old lady an IOU, and we will slowly pay back the rest with interest. An explanation. Who knows that half of what I said, she just..."

"She is simply an unreasonable old woman!"

Seeing Xiaohe's crying appearance, Ah Meng couldn't hold back anymore, and finally said something.

Jiang Wenchi stared into Ah Meng's eyes: "Were you present the whole time?"

Ah Meng was taken aback: "What?"

Jiang Wenchi: "When Xiaohe and Mrs. Zhai had a conflict, were you present the whole time?"

Ah Meng said displeasedly, "Of course I was there. If I wasn't there, Xiaohe wouldn't know how he would be bullied by them. It's a pity that I only cared about stopping that bastard, Ah Cong. I didn't expect that old woman to lose her way. Hit people with strength!"

Jiang Wenchi: "A Cong is here?"

Xiaohe nodded: "Yes, it was past ten o'clock when we went, and Ah Cong and the old lady were at home."

Jiang Wenchi: "How long have you stayed in Zhai's hometown?"

Xiaohe recalled: "It was a bit chaotic at the time, and I didn't pay attention to the time, but it was already past twelve o'clock in the morning when we got home."

Jiang Wenchi: "Didn't you start a fight? Why did you talk for so long?"

Xiaohe said helplessly: "A Cong and the old lady were impulsive when they heard the news, but I really wanted to repay the debt. So after they calmed down, I explained our repayment plan to them in detail, but Ah Cong didn't quite agree, so he wasted time."

Qin Chuan: "A Cong disagrees?"

Xiaohe nodded: "Ah Cong wants us to pay him the homestay directly. It's not that I don't want to pay back the money, but I don't know how many days are left in my body. I want to leave the homestay to Ah Meng, and I will give it to him. Do you want Ah Meng to do odd jobs for the rest of his life?"
