Back to 80s, pretend to be in debt and get out of the misery

Mu Chenze saw that Chu Xuan deliberately pushed Chu Feng away and didn't care that Chu Xuan's answer was wrong.

"That's right. I saw oil stains on the stone road outside her house. Someone must have smeared it on purpose."

Chu Xuan poured him a glass of water, which was just the right temperature to drink. "Drink some water first. Have you reported the crime?"

Mu Chenze was indeed thirsty. He took the cup and drank it in one breath. He put the cup aside and said, "I whispered this to Ji Ping. Ji Ping has reported the case. But unfortunately, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. Waiting for the public security When personnel arrived, all traces were washed away..."

Chu Xuan whispered in a low voice, "Who on earth wants to harm a person suffering from cancer? Could it be that she accidentally learned someone's secret and was silenced?"

Mu Chenze nodded in agreement, "I think so too. Li Qin's body was taken away by security personnel, who said they would ask professionals to conduct an autopsy."

"Then Li Qin's funeral affairs can't be settled in the past two days?"

"That's right." Mu Chenze pointed to the pot, "The pot is on, let's put the dumplings in. I'll go back."

"Wait until you finish eating the dumplings before leaving."

"I eat a lot."

"Xiao Feng and I made a package for four people, enough for you to eat!"

Chu Xuan originally planned to eat fried dumplings tomorrow morning, so she made some extra ones.

I didn't expect it to come in handy tonight.

Every time she could invite Mu Chenze to dinner, she was very happy, after all, she was able to return a favor.

Unfortunately, Mu Chenze refused to stay, "It's already dark, and my mother is still waiting for me to come home."

Get up and leave.

When he was almost home, he realized that Chu Xuan had not yet answered how much hairtail fish cost per pound, and felt that the 160 yuan bonus was a bit much.

Forget it, don’t go back and ask, he will just give it up if the dividends are distributed in the future.

After walking into the house, she saw Qin Mahua standing at the door of the kitchen and looking towards the courtyard door.

"Mom, are you waiting for me?"

Qin Mahua felt sorry for her son, "Seeing that you are covered in mud and water, hurry back to the house and change into clean clothes. I will deliver the food later."

"No. I'll go back to the house to change after dinner. I'm starving."

Mu Chenze opened the courtyard door, walked quickly into the kitchen, took off his raincoat, and hung it on the kitchen door.

Qin Mahua hurriedly took out the warm food from the stove pot.

Braised eggplant, hairtail and rice.

It's Mu Chenze's favorite dish.

"Mom, the food you cook is so delicious."

Eat well.

Qin Mahua was praised for blooming happily. "Then you eat more. We have already eaten."

"Okay." Mu Chenze ate hairtail and spat out the spines skillfully, "Mom, let's make dumplings tomorrow? I want to eat lotus root meat stuffing."

In fact, he was very hungry for dumplings, but considering that he would not be able to go out due to the upcoming weather and the Chu Xuan family's limited supplies, he did not stay to eat.

Qin Mahua prepared a lot of supplies in advance, including lotus roots and meat. "No problem. Just... won't you have dinner at Shanda Mei's house tomorrow? Don't you have to hold a funeral for three days?"

"It can't be done for the time being. Li Qin's body was taken away by the security team for inspection. We don't know when it will be returned."

"What? Why were you taken away?"

"It may have been homicide. However, the heavy rain has washed away the traces of the crime. It is difficult to say whether the real murderer can be found. If the autopsy cannot find anything, it will most likely be classified as an accident."

"Who is so heartless as to attack a woman who has less than a few months to live? It's really shocking."

"Who knows."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Qin Mahua held an umbrella and went out to open the door.

Ji Ping stood at the door holding an umbrella.

"Hingzi, come in quickly! Haven't you eaten yet? There is some in the kitchen."

Ji Ping was moved and said, "Aunt Qin, thank you!"

Didn't really eat.

I only had breakfast today, not lunch or dinner.

When Mu Chenze heard it was Ji Ping, he quickly took out a pair of empty bowls and chopsticks and helped him scoop a bowl of rice.Ji Ping took it and ate it quickly without saying anything.

Everyone else in the Mu family has gone to bed.

Qin Mahua made ginger and egg tea for them.

After getting caught in the rain, drink a bowl to get rid of the cold.

After eating and drinking, Ji Ping spoke, "Aunt Qin, I want to ask you something. Sheng Shengmei is afraid of being alone at home. Can you stay with her..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Chenze refused directly, "I don't agree with Shanda Mei living in my house. She didn't say she was afraid when she did all kinds of things that had no moral bottom line."

Qin Mahua lightly slapped her son on the back and said, "Listen to Pingzi."

Looking at Ji Ping, he continued, "As long as you give me a suitable reason. Why do you want to help Sheng Shengmei?"

Ji Ping responded in a low voice, "Because she is my half-sister."

"But your surname is Ji, and her surname is Sheng."

"My adoptive father's surname is mine. Here's the thing..."

After hearing the details of the incident, Qin Mahua finally agreed to let Shengmei live in the Mu family for the sake of Ji Ping and promised to take care of her.

Ji Ping took out a wad of money from his pocket and put it in Qin Mahua's hand, "Aunt, this is her living expenses. She just had a miscarriage a few days ago and suffered the death of her mother. Her body collapsed and she needs more nutrition. Here. You’re looking for trouble.”

Qin Mahua didn't refuse and accepted the money, which made Ji Ping feel better.

There is an empty room and a kang at home. With a little tidying up, people can live there.

Mu Chenze was helpless, her mother was so kind-hearted.

Half an hour later, Ji Ping came over carrying Shangsheng Mei and a baggage. After settling in, he was ready to say goodbye and leave.

Mu Chenze called out, "Pingzi, what did Shangshengmei's mother say to you before she died?"

Ji Ping wiped away his tears and said, "She asked me to take care of Shengmei, otherwise you think I will take care of Shengmei? You have asked me this question three or four times, why are you still asking?"

"If you think about it carefully, did she say anything about the real murderer?"

Ji Ping tried to think back, "I really didn't say anything else."

"Is there any action? For example, who or where is it pointing at?"

"Does pointing to the roof count? At that time, she said "I", pointed to the roof, and then breathed her last."

"roof?"

"Yes, it's the roof."

“I remember her house had a mezzanine in the roof.”

"So what? Is there any money on the roof? If so, does she need to spend my money?"

"Go! Let's go and see."

"It's dark and rainy, let's talk about it tomorrow! I want to go back and rest. I'm almost exhausted..."

Before Ji Ping could finish speaking, Mu Chenze had already put on his raincoat, "If you don't want to go, give me the key and I'll go by myself!"

"Someone just died in that house, are you really going to go? Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid! I'm afraid that the real murderer will go unpunished! Maybe the evidence is on the mezzanine of her roof."

After being reminded by Mu Chenze, Ji Ping picked up his umbrella and said, "I'll go with you!"

Sheng Shengmei was immersed in sadness, lying on the kang, and didn't hear what they said at all.

Qin Mahua heard this, took out two kitchen knives from the kitchen and handed them to them respectively.

"Bring it with you so you can defend yourself if you encounter danger!"

Mu Chenze and Ji Ping took it without hesitation.

If the real culprit goes there to look for evidence and comes across one, he will definitely take action.

More than 20 minutes later, using flashlights, they arrived at Shanda Meijia.

The courtyard door is locked.

Ji Ping took out the key from his pocket and unlocked the door.

As soon as I opened the courtyard door and walked in, a strong wind blew and blew the courtyard door shut.

Mu Chenze and Ji Ping were both terrified, but for the sake of the truth, they still had the courage to walk into the bedroom where Li Qin lived before his death.
