Chapter 88: Mysterious case in an urban village (5)
Du Dayong received three thousand yuan and set off with Luo Xin.
Although he could only take the train with this money, Du Dayong had no time to take the train, so he took Luo Xin straight to the airport and arrived at the capital of Xiangnan Province at two o'clock in the afternoon. The two of them rushed to Zhuzhou without stopping.
It was not until nearly 4 o'clock in the afternoon that I finally arrived at Zhuzhou, and then contacted the Zhuzhou police. With the help of the Zhuzhou police, I arrived at Li Meiling's home at 8 o'clock that evening.
When the Li family heard that Li Meiling had been murdered, the whole family burst into tears. It wasn't until about nine o'clock that they stabilized their emotions.
"Uncle Li, has your Meiling contacted you recently? Or written to you?"
Li Meiling's father thought for a while and shook his head.
"No! I called my home during the Chinese New Year, or the village chief's home. I picked it up."
"Then on the phone or when you went to Qinglu last time, did you notice anything unusual about Mei Ling?"
"No! I didn't hear anything wrong when she called me during the Chinese New Year! It was said that Xiao Wang's place was going to be demolished. After the demolition, she discussed with Xiao Wang and gave them some money so that we could demolish the old house.
Renovate it.”
"I was quite happy when I said it! I don't think anything else is wrong."
"Uncle Li, what did you use the 20,000 yuan you got back from Qinglu last time?"
When Li Meiling's father heard this, he hesitated a little.
Du Dayong took a look and asked, "Is there something you don't want to talk about?"
"Uncle Li, this involves Mei Ling's murder, so we need to talk about all the circumstances."
"Officer Du, it's actually nothing. It's all our fault as parents."
Li Meiling's father started crying again as he spoke.
Although Du Dayong was anxious, he still comforted him and asked him to calm down quickly.
After Li's father recovered, he explained the reason.
"Her mother was ill at that time, and I didn't have money to treat her illness at that time, so I had to arrange a marriage for Meiling first and received a gift of 10,000 yuan from someone else. She said that when Meiling was old enough, she would give her another 10,000 yuan, and we would
Marry Meiling."
"Later, Mei Ling called and told her that she had found a boyfriend in Qinglu, and the boyfriend's family conditions were not bad, he still had a registered residence in the city, and the two of them still worked together. I told Mei Ling about that. Later, Xiao
Wang told me that I can just refund the money."
"I didn't agree at the time. I thought about going to see it, and then I went to Qinglu. My daughter sent me the travel expenses, so I went there."
"After the results went there, I really found that Xiao Wang was really good. Then they asked me to spend 20,000 to solve the problem, which made me feel more relieved."
"I spent 12,000 yuan to solve this problem when I came back, and I even got a favor from someone else. Who knew that Meiling would be in this situation now!"
Du Dayong looked at Luo Xin's records and thought for a while.
Father Li looked at Du Dayong in a daze and thought he had said something wrong.
"Officer Du, what I said is true. Please help me catch the murderer."
"Uncle Li, what was the name of the family you engaged Meiling to?"
"Huaishu's father's family! I grew up with Huaishu's father, Li Laowei'er, and I watched his son Li Huaishu grow up, and he is also working outside now. The young man is also pretty good, but my Mei Ling
Don’t really like it.”
Du Dayong thought that Li Laowen'er's family was quite wealthy. In a rural area like this, it was not an ordinary family that could afford 10,000 yuan in the past few years.
"This Mr. Li's family is quite rich!"
"Of course his family is rich. He has been killing pigs for so many years, how could he have no money? If it weren't for the good conditions of his family, I would be able to make this decision for Meiling."
Du Dayong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, he's killing pigs!
"Then Li Sophora tree can kill pigs?"
"Of course you can. It's an ancestral craft from his old Li family. Both sons and girls can do it."
"But the two girls have been married a long time ago, and now only the younger son Yushu is following Lao Wei'er to kill pigs. Huaishu went to work in Guangdong Province a few years ago."
"Meiling was initially planning to go to Guangdong Province to work. Later, when she heard that Sophora japonica was there, she went to Qinglu to work with people from other villages."
