Zhou Zhigao responded by smiling politely with his mother-in-law.
This woman is also a family member living in the military compound. Before joining the army, she had been farming in her hometown, raising pigs and raising children. Even after joining the army, her temperament developed over many years in the countryside has not changed at all.
Chewing the steamed bun in her mouth, her cheeks were stuffed to the brim, and she didn't waste any time opening her mouth.
When she opened her mouth, the crumbs of the steamed bun fell out rustlingly from the corner of her mouth. A mouthful of dry steamed bun suddenly blocked her throat, choking her and stretching her neck, vomiting, hiccupping and rolling her eyes. It didn't stop her from gossiping.
"You said that the Liang family is really nothing! I heard that Jiang Xiaohan was slashed by Ding Dahua, and her face was bruised! Now Jiang Xiaohan is hospitalized, and her mother has gone to the hospital to take care of her! Liang Yunsheng and his father are busy with Ding Dahua's funeral. Didn’t you know that there is a daughter-in-law at home who is hospitalized? No, she didn’t know how to stay with her in bed in the hospital, and even went to Jiang’s house to raid her!”
Zhou Zhigao and Zhou Guangyi looked at each other suspiciously.
This old woman doesn't have a job on weekdays. Her biggest hobby is standing on the street chatting and gossiping. She is similar to the director of a rural street information station. Even if a family buys new clothes and relatives come to the house, they can't escape her eyes.
Although the words are exaggerated, most of them are true.
The matter of Jiang Xiaohan's surrender is still kept secret, so outsiders naturally don't know about it, including Liang Yunsheng and his son.
In other words, when there was no one in Jiang Xiaohan's family, Liang Yunsheng and his son came to the house?
What are you doing at home?
Looking for money? Figure property?
Jiang's mother did not have a serious job, and she struggled to survive on a meager pension in her early years. Later, after Jiang Xiaohan started working, most of Jiang Xiaohan's salary was used for the family's daily expenses. Now the family does not even have any valuable furniture or appliances.
So what are they trying to do?
"Liang Yunsheng and Liang Bailao are really nothing. They have been busy since they came here. They couldn't find anything rich, so they just took the two quilts home. Do you think they are immoral?"
The old woman looked indignant.
"I helped Jiang Xiaohan's mother sew those two quilts. Don't we have a saying that when you marry a girl, you have to find someone with children and men to sew the quilts! The quilts are so good that Jiang Xiaohan doesn't want anything. She insisted on leaving it for her mother, but the scoundrel took away the two new quilts while there was no one at home!"
"They thought it was dark and no one saw it! Huh, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing but yourself. I was just watching from the side! It's so wicked..."
After talking for a while, the old woman suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It was actually understandable that Liang Yunsheng and Liang Bailao came to pick up things. After all, the two families were in-laws. It was also an excuse to take this opportunity to take the valuable things back home to avoid being taken away.
What are Mr. Zhou Zhigao doing? They are neither relatives nor friends, and can't find any reason.
Could it be that because Jiang Xiaohan had a relationship with Zhou Zhigao before, she wanted to take advantage of the situation and go to Jiang's house to salvage something?
No, everyone in the Zhou family has a good job, and they are not short of money, so they can’t do this, right?
Then I thought about it, who wouldn't want to transfer it if it was cheap? It would be better to get more. Wouldn't it be a loss for her to lie on the wall stupidly and not do anything?
Thinking about this made me anxious, and I was worried that Zhou Zhigao and his wife would take away all the better things if I was late, so I hurriedly jumped off the wall...
Oops...
This jump doesn't matter, it's a tragedy.
Her ankle was sprained. The painful old woman's face turned pale and she was sweating. Half of the steamed bun she was holding in her hand fell to the ground. She sat on the ground clutching her red and swollen ankle and couldn't get up for a long time...
When he raised his head, he was even more dumbfounded. He saw Mr. Zhou Zhigao coming out of the yard and locking the door with an iron lock. Zhou Guangyi was still holding a baggage in his hand...
After coming out of Jiang Xiaohan's house, Zhou Zhigao and Zhou Guangyi did not go home immediately. They walked towards the Liang family while talking.
Just now at Jiang Xiaohan's house, I didn't find anything.
In a hidden corner near the yard, a piece of blood-stained clothing and a sack used to hold cloth heads were found.
In order to support the family, Jiang Xiaohan's mother would find some handicraft work at home on weekdays, and the sack at home was exactly the same as the sack containing Ding Dahua.
On the road from the yard to the outside of the house, there were some darkened blood stains.
Having lived in a military compound for many years, Zhou Guangyi naturally knew Jiang Xiaohan's mother very well. She loved to be clean and tidy. The cement floor at home was swept spotlessly, and the pots and pans were placed in designated places. Although the two of them were not rich, , but always dressed neatly and neatly.
On the stove at home, there was a pile of unwashed dishes and chicken bones that had not been thrown away.
This is even more suspicious, because Jiang Xiaohan's mother converted to Buddhism because she had been taking medicine for many years because of her poor health. She was a vegetarian, so how could she eat meat?
Now it looks suspicious.
First, judging from the situation at Jiang Xiaohan's mother's home, there should be someone living at home during this meal. This person has a large appetite, poor living habits, and loves to eat meat.
Second, judging from the color of the blood clothes and blood drops on the ground, it was about two or three days old. This time coincided with the death of Ding Dahua.
So the question is, whose blood stains are these? Is it Jiang Xiaohan’s mother or someone else?
Or is it actually Ding Dahua?
Zhou Guangyi made a bold guess.
The real place where Ding Dahua was killed was at Jiang Xiaohan's home.
Ever since Jiang Xiaohan married Liang Yunsheng, the young couple had been having constant conflicts. The previous mother-son relationship between Ding Dahua and Liang Yunsheng had also been greatly affected. Ding Dahua was angry with her son and daughter-in-law, and she often came to Jiang Xiaohan's mother to vent her anger.
He made a bold inference.
"After Ding Dahua and Liang Yunsheng had another quarrel, they once again prepared to trouble Mother Jiang. She came to Mother Jiang and discovered some secrets that she shouldn't have discovered, and then she was killed and silenced!"
Zhou Zhigao completely agreed with his father's inference. He whispered to his father that Liang Yunsheng and his son made a big fuss and insisted that Zhou Zhi was the murderer of Ding Dahua. They seemed to use too much force, as if they were deliberately confusing people.
"This tactic of blaming Zhou Zhi is really a bit out of this world. Anyone with a discerning eye can imagine that if Zhou Zhi has any trouble with Ding Dahua, he will not risk his own future by doing such a thing! Besides, if Zhou Zhi has any trouble with Ding Dahua, he will not risk his own future! This matter requires evidence, so we can only say that they are covering up something."
Zhou Zhigao said that he would go back to the bureau in the afternoon. After the forensic doctors identified the blood stains on the bloody clothes, they would have a clear answer as to whether their reasoning was correct.
There were plant ashes scattered at the door of Liang's house. Zhou Guangyi couldn't help but frown when he saw it.
In my hometown in the countryside, when someone passes away in the village, there is a custom of spreading plant ashes at the door, just to prevent the deceased soul from returning home.
Counting on the fact that Ding Dahua passed away just two days ago, there are still five days left before the first seven souls return. During this period of time, her soul can return home.
