Chapter 364: 364 things
Zheng Lanying and Ma Dongmei were both locked up in the office. When Feng Baoshan returned, he heard terrifying cries and screams.
It startled him, and he turned around to leave immediately. Ma Changshun's young woman really seems to be quite frightened.
He can go home and work today, but he can't stay here any longer. It's too terrifying.
Zheng Lanying is now curled up in the corner of the wall. Her heart is filled with fear, frightened by Ma Dongmei stabbing her, and also by Xiang Zhiqiang's death, which terrifies her greatly.
At that time, seeing Ma Dongmei wildly waving the scissors was simply too terrifying.
Actually, she had nothing with Xiang Zhiqiang. Xiang Zhiqiang's clothes were cut by Ma Dongmei, and they were also burned.
It really has nothing to do with her. But even if she says so now, she estimates no one will believe it?
She knows she's done for, really done for. Even if she didn't kill the person, she definitely can't be disconnected from it.
Zheng Lanying keeps shedding tears. Why? Why did it turn out this way?
Another voice in her heart said, if not for her bad intentions, this wouldn't have happened.
In truth, she knows Ma Dongmei doesn't fancy Xiang Zhiqiang. It's all because she devised such a sinister plan; otherwise, this wouldn't have happened. It's all her fault.
Now it's too late to say anything. She still doesn't know what's waiting for her.
Zheng Lanying knows she absolutely must not admit to having anything with Xiang Zhiqiang. That would be truly irrecoverable.
Now she's just waiting for the police station to come. Then she definitely shouldn't talk nonsense; say what needs to be said and not a word more.
For Zheng Lanying, fear is infinitely expanding. She feels like each day is as long as a year. The torment is unbearable.
She can still hear Ma Dongmei's mad sounds, which scares her even more.
Zhao Yanli went home and went directly to Second Sister's house. The two then went to the Li Family's house together.
In an era without entertainment, that's one of the big reasons people enjoy gossip.
"Sister Xiao Li, this is really a big deal, isn't it?" Li Liyun was stunned.
"Yeah, you don't know how hard it was to get in; once I know the outcome, I'll definitely write to Yuanyuan."
"Sister Xiao Li, you should write now, and then once the result is known, write to Yuanyuan."
"But I don't have Yuanyuan's address now. I guess her letter will arrive soon."
Li Liyun remembered too. That's right. Sister Yuan Yuan hasn't written back yet.
The impact of this matter isn't as simple as they imagined. Really, soon the whole farm will know.
The negative impact is too big. People aren't talking about farming anymore; it's all about this matter.
When Xu Hongbing came back, he didn't bring any useful information; primarily, they didn't have access to it.
By noon the next day, five people from the police station arrived, showing great attention to this matter.
Zhao Yanli saw a few people pass by, so hurried home to catch the car and follow them.
Wow, she ran into a lot of people along the way. Zhao Yanli was puzzled at how fast the news spread at this time?
Finally squeezed in, but still doesn't know anything, just waiting outside.
Everyone was discussing this matter.
"I heard that Xiang Zhiqiang was involved with Zheng Lanying."
"Isn't that nonsense? How could he be lying naked on a young woman's bed without being involved?" Person B retorted.
"What's good about Xiang Zhiqiang? I think I'm better than him. Why don't I have his skills? Wow, he has three women."
Zhao Yanli felt sick upon hearing this. What kind of person is this?
"Why don't you look at yourself in a puddle of water? What use are many women? Isn't he still dead?"
The person who was talking didn't speak anymore. That's right. What's there to envy? He's dead and can't enjoy anything.
"I heard Ma Dongmei doesn't fancy Xiang Zhiqiang. I heard the three drank together, and then this happened."
"Then Xiang Zhiqiang deserved his death."
Actually, these are words spread by Ma Changshun, hoping everyone sympathizes with his young woman, so maybe she'll be okay.
Zhao Yanli stood here. She felt very uncomfortable listening to all the nonsense. It's truly annoying, but she couldn't bear to leave because she wanted to know the news sooner.
She squeezed out again and sat on the donkey cart. It was comfier this way, thinking she should go to the office later; maybe she should go there and wait first?
But she wanted to know the news immediately, finally deciding to wait here.
After waiting for over half an hour, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.
Zhao Yanli immediately tried to squeeze inside, but now it was impossible to get in, and she heard some sounds coming from inside.
After a while, a path was opened, and this time four people from the police station left.
It seemed one was left behind to keep watch.
No one left; they just followed behind them. However, it was particularly quiet.
Arrived at the office. Feng Baoshan was waiting outside.
"Everyone listens outside; don't interfere with the officers' work."
Zhao Yanli sat on the cart waiting. Because there were no acquaintances, no one came to sit with her; everyone just waited outside.
This time the police station came with the director leading the team directly.
They started understanding the situation.
Ma Changshun repeated what he said yesterday. His explanation was very reasonable and highly credible; even though he's Ma Dongmei's father, they would consider his words.
After recording, they began collecting information from the day before yesterday.
Some people saw Ma Dongmei and the other three fighting.
They all said Xiang Zhiqiang pushed Ma Dongmei down.
This increased the credibility of Ma Changshun's words.
Next was Ma Dongmei, but after bringing her in, she was sent away again; given her current madness, it's impossible to get any information out of her.
So Zheng Lanying was brought out.
Zheng Lanying looked at the people outside and the blinding sun, feeling dazed.
People are always biased initially, as Ma Changshun was the first to give his statement. So when Zheng Lanying denied having a relationship with Xiang Zhiqiang, most people didn't believe her.
A young man rudely asked, "Then why was Xiang Zhiqiang lying naked on your bed?"
"That was Ma Dongmei who killed Xiang Zhiqiang, after which she cut off the clothes and burned them in the stove."
Her words were extremely lacking in credibility.
"You just said Ma Dongmei was already mad at that time, so did she still know how to cut clothes?"
Now Zheng Lanying was stumped. She didn't know what to say anymore, looking bewildered at the person questioning her.
