Chapter 81 - 81 080 Murder Case from Seven Years Ago (First Update)
?Chapter 81: 080: Murder Case from Seven Years Ago (First Update) Chapter 81: 080: Murder Case from Seven Years Ago (First Update) Cui Ying’s story was short.
“Seven years ago, four wealthy young masters went to a small town for fun. They took a fancy to a very beautiful woman; when she refused them, they drugged her. A part-time working teenager accidentally stumbled upon their misdeed and was then beaten to death by them.”
This story was a murder case.
“Tong Taishi was one of the four murderers?”
“Yes.”
Xie Shang fiddled with the business card in his hand, “Who told you this story?”
Sitting across the table, Cui Ying involuntarily tightened her grip on the cup she was holding, her head lowered, “Tong Taishi let it slip himself when he was drunk.”
“And the other three people?”
“I don’t know.”
Xie Shang didn’t continue to press, “What do you want to use this story for?”
She lifted her head, her eyes becoming resolute, “I hope Tong Taishi receives punishment.”
“Alright.”
If the owner of Ruyi Pawnshop was in a good mood, he really was easy to talk to and wouldn’t skimp on playing the good guy once.
Leaving Ruyi Pawnshop, Cui Ying kept walking forward. When she reached the middle of the road, she turned back and looked at the clock shop. The small door to the right of the clock shop wasn’t closed, and the nurse sister who had given her the business card was standing at the doorway.
Cui Ying silently mouthed: Thank you.
Wen Changling could read lips.
“No need to thank me.”
She closed the door, entering the house.
*****
Two days later, the fans who clamored for it got their wish.
At exactly noon, Tong Taishi’s dirty grand package crashed the entire server. Eight girls provided a total of thirteen recordings and five videos.
The incident was too significant; within half an hour, all of Tong Taishi’s works were removed from shelves.
“Meow.”
“Meow.”
Huahua was meowing, affectionately rubbing her head against Wen Changling’s feet.
Wen Changling put down the watermelon and spoon he was holding, got up from the bamboo bed, and rubbed Huahua’s chubby belly, “Are you hungry?”
Wu Haomin was collecting bed sheets in the yard, “I just fed her half an hour ago.”
So it wasn’t hunger.
Wen Changling then asked Huahua, “Are you craving something?”
“Meow.”
Huahua was already quite fat.
Wen Changling went to fetch her some dried fish. The dried fish was kept in the fridge in the yard, which wasn’t really a fridge, it was a “cupboard”. Granny Zhu couldn’t bear to throw away the fridge that was no longer in use, so she made do with it as a cupboard.
Wen Changling grabbed a handful of dried fish for Huahua, placing it in her bowl. The evening sun was still intense, so Wen Changling specially placed Huahua’s bowl in the shade of a tree.
“Go ahead and eat.”
Huahua nibbled on the dried fish.
Tongtong was playing the guqin under the cool arbor formed by grapevines, and even though it was out of tune, she played it with utter seriousness.
Wen Changling, holding an iced watermelon, scooped it out with a spoon while sitting on the bamboo bed, swinging her bare feet back and forth, humming a song that was also out of tune, but she hummed it very seriously.
Wu Haomin asked her with a smile, “You’re in a good mood today?”
Wen Changling nodded, “The weather is very nice today.”
Wu Haomin looked up at the big sun.
Thirty degrees, where’s the good weather.
Wen Changling hummed the song.
Tongtong recognized it, “That’s Little Star. I know that one, Brother Xie Shang taught me.”
Tongtong was too young and learned slowly, she only got the hang of Little Star.
She played and sang along.
“Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are, up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky…”
*****
Boom.
There was a sudden thunderclap in the evening, and after several sunny days, it seemed as if a thunderstorm had been waiting for this moment.
Xie Liangjiang sealed his cup with a lid, the high-quality porcelain making a piercing noise, “Do you realize you have offended the Tong Family thoroughly?”
Xie Shang replied indifferently, “I know.”
