Brother and sister Hai Jiao and Hai Tang looked at each other for a while.
Hai Jiao was a little hesitant: "I returned to the city directly from the old soldier Zhuangzi of the Zhou family today. I didn't detour to other villages to say goodbye to Zhuangtou and the others. They didn't seem to know that the old military advisor and the others had already found the Zhuangzi of the Tu family and the Du family. It is estimated that before the results of the investigation are obtained, they will not inform the senior military advisor and others of the information they have obtained in advance." The veterans in the third room of the Zhou family are probably still thinking of avenging their shame.
Haitang blinked: "According to what my brother said before, Tujia Zhuangzi was quite cooperative today, and the head of the village has a very good attitude. As long as we make sure that the number of caravan guards on their Zhuangzi has not changed, and no strangers have come recently, the old military advisor I guess he will turn around and concentrate on investigating the Du family, right? At present, the situation in the Du family's village is even more suspicious. Strangers have also appeared, and the attitude of the family towards the old Zhou family members left behind by their late mistress is also unclear. It’s not very good and it’s worth checking out.”
Hai Jiao pursed her lips: "But now... the people sent by Mrs. Ma went to the other village to do some strange things. It was as if they were imitating the killer to harm Jin Jiashu, and then went to Tujia Village to spend the night. . The old military advisor will definitely feel that Tujia Zhuangzi’s suspicion has increased."
The old military advisor and the others knew nothing about Du Boqin's betrayal in his previous life. Of the two Zhuangzi who are equally suspected, one is owned by an old in-law of a wealthy businessman who is estranged from the Zhou family, and the owner of the other is the son-in-law of the Zhou family who has always had a good relationship and is a senior official of the local health center... Military advisors and veterans from the Zhou family system , which side will you be more inclined to believe?
Hai Jiao scratched his hair: "The Tu family is now far less prosperous than before. The caravans are used to traveling all over the country, and they often go to Beijing. In the past, they would try their best to marry their daughter into the third room of the Zhou family in order to gain access to the Zhou family. , now in order to revitalize the family business, it seems that it is not impossible to rely on a few powerful people in the capital. Sunge has been famous for decades, and there are many wealthy businessmen relying on his family..." Why did he think more and more? The more I feel, the Tu family can’t clean it up this time?
Haitang hurriedly comforted her brother and said, "Brother, don't worry. Even if the Tu family is implicated by Mrs. Ma and takes the blame for the rest of their lives, they won't be blamed for the rest of their lives. The real culprit and the fake culprit will be known once you investigate. As long as the Tu family is innocent, you are still afraid of old age. Did the military advisor wrongly accuse them? Zhuangzi, a veteran of the Zhou family, has enough manpower. Even if the veteran military advisor suspects two Zhuangzi at the same time, it is not impossible to investigate them at the same time, and the business will not be delayed. "
Hai Jiao calmed down a little: "Young sister is right... I'm just worried that they wasted time and alerted the snake, which will make the eighth killer escape, and give Du Boqin enough time to clean up the traces. The Zhou family will check everything. If you don’t come out, you will still be plotted by Du Boqin in the future.”
Haitang thought for a while: "To put it bluntly, this is the reason for the poor communication of information between the two people in Zhuangzi. If my brother is worried, why not simply act as a communication bridge for them? Anyway, my aunt originally planned to let the Ma family and his son find a way. Revealing Mrs. Ma's true intention to the people in Zhuangzi, a veteran of the Zhou family, you can do it for them. As long as the people in other villages know that the people sent by Mrs. Ma are genuine and not assassin accomplices who pretend to be here to attempt the assassination, you can do it for them. Mrs. Arima’s real purpose is to build a glass workshop on the villa without telling others, so that they will no longer involve this matter with the murder case of the Jin family.”
In fact, there is no need for the people of other villages to take their face too seriously. They will work together with the old military advisor and others to find out the truth as soon as possible, arrest all the murderers who dare to kill people under their noses, find out the instigators behind the scenes, and then protect the people. Wouldn't it be more meaningful to expose Du Boqin's true identity as a killer?
A smile appeared on Hai Jiao's face: "That's right. My aunt is very worried. She is always worried that she will be blamed by Mr. Wu. She has to beat around the bush before telling people about something that is obviously very simple. She asked the Ma family and his son to report the news, I'm afraid I also thought that the Ma family will soon become members of our Hai family, and even if Mrs. Ma exposes her in the future, she will not suffer retaliation.
"But what do I have to worry about? I am a descendant of the Hai family, so I don't need to be as wary as my aunt. I can just go and tell the truth to the head of the other village. Even to the old military advisor, I can speak frankly. The old military advisor thinks so highly of me, how can I let him down? Now that I know the secrets related to the third room of the Zhou family, of course I have to discuss it with him first! As for whether to tell the Zhenguo government, that is the old military advisor's own business. "
Hai Jiao and Hai Tang looked at each other and both showed sly smiles.
Hai Jiao whispered: "Grandma is very dissatisfied with me running to the village all day long. My little sister thinks... if I say that I plan to go to the village to help my aunt, will grandma let me go?"
Haitang blinked: "Brother, don't worry. I think grandma is quite easy to talk to."
Hai Jiao suddenly laughed: "That's right! I'm not only trying to help my aunt, but I'm also dissatisfied with Mrs. Ma's confidant talking nonsense in Biezhuang and slandering our Hai family! Jin Jiashu was rescued by our family and was arranged by our family to stay in Biezhuang. Not only did we leave Cui Xiaodao to take care of him, but we also left the money for medicine and food. My aunt and the people in the village didn't say anything, so why did Mrs. Ma's men say that we let Jin Jiashu eat for nothing? Are you still alive? This is slander! We have to show Mrs. Ma some color and let her know that there is no one in my aunt’s family to support her!"
It sounds like a decent reason. Haitang didn't stop her, leaving Hai Jiao to speak to her grandmother.
As expected, Ma hesitated. Before dinner, she had scolded her eldest grandson in front of her husband Hai Xiya, saying that he ran to other villages all day long and refused to listen to the elders at all. But when she heard that her grandson was going to support her aunt, she couldn't stop scolding her. She was also deeply angry at the behavior of her eldest sister and step-mother-in-law.
She could only say with a dark face: "Okay, then you go and take a look. You have to make it clear to them, the Hai family will not take advantage of the eldest sister for free! On the contrary, they have three rooms in the Zhou family, and they want to take advantage of the eldest sister all day long. How cheap does it look like the behavior of a wealthy family?! If they continue to mess around, they will call their parents-in-law's brother and sister-in-law to question them in the Zhou family's clan house to see if the Zhou family really has such broken rules. Specialize in robbing your wife’s marriage property?!”
Everyone agreed and asked her to calm down.
But how could Mr. Ma be so easily relieved?
Speaking of her natal brother and sister-in-law, she recalled that she had sent messages to her natal family for three days in a row, but had never received a reply. She didn't know when she would be able to return to her natal family to visit her brother. Even though she knew that her brother had been sick and in poor spirits, she couldn't help but feel irritated. The eldest sister always told her to wait patiently, but because of Mrs. Ma’s surveillance, the eldest sister didn’t even go out. How could she arrange for her sister to return to her parents’ home to visit her relatives? ! If it continues to be delayed, will it be possible that she will have to wait until the Chinese New Year before she has a chance to see her brother? !
Ma stood up angrily, turned around and left the main room: "Why hasn't the kitchen sent food yet? The whole family is starving to death!"
After his wife left, Hai Xiya looked up at his grandson and confirmed to him in a low voice: "Did the old military advisor really agree to let you work with them to track down the whereabouts of the escaped murderer? Has he mentioned the origin of the murderer to you?"
Hai Jiao blinked: "The old man didn't mention it, and I didn't intend to ask. No matter what the origins of those murderers are, they can't kill women and children at will! Now that I live in Chang'an, how can I just watch the murderers commit crimes in Chang'an? What? I am also a kid in the military. I can learn more by being with the seniors!"
Hai Xiya smiled and said: "Okay, since you plan to ask the elders for more skills, then you should study hard. You are not allowed to take risks, and you are not allowed to ask too many questions. You must go home before dark every day."
Hai Jiao agreed to all the conditions proposed by his grandfather and was secretly happy. With his grandfather's permission, he doesn't have to be afraid if his grandmother stops him from going out in the future!
