When Wang Miaozhi saw that Qiao Guangde no longer cared about what happened before, she was immediately happy. She and Qiao Guangliang looked at each other and said with a smile.

"Brother, we still have plenty in the vegetable garden. I will send the vegetables to the kitchen and you will fry the beans for dinner in the evening. There has been a lot of rain this year, so the beans are growing very well."

Wang Miaozhi carried the vegetable basket into the kitchen. When she saw Xia Lan washing dishes in the kitchen, she was surprised and said, "Hey! Why are you here?"

Qiao Wanyue guessed that she would ask questions when she saw Xia Lan, so she answered at the door of the kitchen and said, "I'm bored at home, so I asked Lan Lan to come over and play with me for a few days."

Wang Miaozhi curled her lips, her baby was gone, and she was still in the mood to run out and play. Sure enough, she didn't feel sorry for her silly son's death.

Although she thought so in her heart, she did not dare to say it out loud. She came here to ease the relationship with her eldest brother. Qiao Wanyue was his darling, and she could not offend Qiao Wanyue again.

Wang Miaozhi poured the beans and pepper into the vegetable basin with a stern expression, and carried the vegetable basket out of the kitchen. Qiao Guangliang was asking about Qiao Guangde's construction of a new house, and she listened with open ears.

When she heard that Qiao Guangde planned to build a courtyard house, she answered excitedly: "Hey, brother, building a courtyard house will cost at least several thousand yuan, right?"

Qiao Guangde shook his head: "I don't know, Wanyue is responsible for this matter."

Wang Miaozhi said subconsciously: "With so much money, can you rest assured that it will be left to Wanyue for safekeeping?"

Qiao Guangliang glanced at Qiao Wanyue's face, and then glared at his wife. Wang Miaozhi understood and quickly changed his words: "Brother, Wanyue, don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that I shouldn't leave it to you for safekeeping, but I'm afraid that you are young and don't get caught by the man who built the house. Got fooled."

Qiao Wanyue asked her: "The person who built the house was found by the village chief. With him as a guarantee, why should we be worried?"

Wang Miaozhi couldn't answer the question. The village chief had found him. If she said anything else, she would be questioning the village chief.

Qiao Guangliang came here this time to ease the relationship and inquire about his eldest brother's house building. After his purpose was achieved, he did not wait long: "Brother, we are going back first. If you need help while building the house, just go and call from behind. We have several children at home, and what we don’t lack most is labor force.”

Qiao Guangde sent the two of them to the road and came back after seeing them go far away.

When Tang Yuchen saw Qiao Guangliang and his wife leaving, he stepped forward and asked, "Why did your second uncle and second aunt change their gender?"

He thought he was here to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that he was delivering food.

Qiao Wanyue sneered: "How could the weasel be so kind as to pay New Year greetings to the chicken? He must have had a bad idea when he saw that my family was going to build a new house. My second uncle's sons were all crowded into a few mud houses. Seeing us When my family builds a new house, my jealous teeth will almost burst into pieces.”

Wei Cheng, who came over, looked at her and answered: "You know them well."

Qiao Wanyue winked at him: "Not only do I understand them, I also understand you."

Wei Cheng's eyes were filled with smiles: "Tell me and listen."

"Ahem..." Tang Yuchen interrupted the conversation between the two: "Please take a look at Zheng Tong, he is almost smoking."

This case was too big, with so many lives lost, and the higher-ups had already put pressure on it. The atmosphere in the public security bureau was very depressing all day long, and no one dared to say anything. If they didn't find some clues, they wouldn't be able to make it back.

Qiao Wanyue habitually brought the medical kit: "Let's go, I'll go with you. If Guo Lili is really the girl who ran away last night, she might be injured, and I will just go and help her look at her injuries." Wei Cheng and Tang Yuchen had no objection. It was a bit awkward for a grown man to face a little girl, so it would be more convenient for Qiao Wanyue to go.

After saying hello to Qiao Guangde and Xia Lan, the four of them went to town together. A young police officer led the way to Dahe Village. The distance was not far, only 10 minutes by car.

There are only about 30 households in Dahe Village. The village is located at the foot of the mountain, and cars can only park at the entrance of the village. As soon as they entered the village, some villagers came up to talk to them.

"Are you going to Guo Youfu's house?"

The village is small and in a remote location. People from outside the village rarely visit. The news that the police came to see Guo Youfu in the morning has spread in the village. When I saw them now, I naturally guessed that they came to see Guo Youfu.

Qiao Wanyue blinked and took the opportunity to ask: "Auntie, how do you know?"

"Of course I know, I am Guo Youfu's neighbor." The aunt said mysteriously: "I'm telling you, his little girl didn't go to her relatives' house, she was staying in the house. I saw her before lunch. Go to the latrine."

Restrooms in the countryside are always built behind houses, and the two families are neighbors. After learning about the affairs of Guo Youfu's family, the aunt has been paying attention to his family, and she knows so clearly about his family's affairs.

The few of them looked at each other and then went to Guo Youfu's house together. He was squatting under a big tree and knitting a backpack with wattle sticks. When he saw the police coming, he got up with a straight face and chased them away without saying a word.

"We are the police in the city. We just want to find your daughter to investigate what happened last night. We hope you can cooperate." Zheng Tong discussed with Guo Youfu in a good voice.

"I don't know anything. Stop looking for me. It's useless to look for you again." Not only did Guo Youfu not cooperate, he even got angry.

"We're just asking a few questions, there's no harm in it."

Tang Yuchen also joined the persuasion team.

However, Guo Youfu remained unmoved. He refused to let a few people into the house, and chased them away with a straight face: "I told you, we don't know anything, and my daughter is not at home, so don't come here again."

"Your daughter's encounter with the bad guy last night has spread to everyone in the village, maybe to the bad guy's ears. If he feels that your daughter poses a threat to him, her situation is very dangerous, and only we can help you."

Wei Cheng's voice was deep, with a strong sense of oppression. He didn't say anything. As long as he stood there, people would think that he was the leader among these people.

Therefore, when Guo Youfu drove people away, he never dared to touch Weicheng. Now when he heard Weicheng's words, his expression changed drastically.

He didn't dare to let his daughter see the police because he was afraid of being retaliated by the bad guys. However, when he heard what Wei Cheng said, he felt that it made sense and he didn't know what to do.

Qiao Wanyue on the side saw that his expression was shaken, and struck while the iron was hot: "They are specially sent by the city to investigate this case. As long as you cooperate, they will definitely ensure the safety of your family before the bad guys are caught."

Zheng Tong immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, if you are really scared, we can leave someone here to guard you at night."

"Comrade Public Security, I am willing to cooperate with you." Suddenly an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl ran out of the room. Her skin was a little dark, but her facial features were quite delicate. She had a braid hanging on her shoulders and her eyes were stubborn.

"You girl, why are you not obedient at all? Go into the house." Mother Guo wanted to pull her back to the house angrily.
