Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 219 Looking for someone

Ding Hongxi rode Qiangzi's tricycle back to Sister Ying's courtyard.

Sister Ying found a sack for him and said, "Hurry, get the body away."

Ding Hongxi took the sack and swallowed, "Just take it away like that? What if someone discovers it on the road?"

Sister Ying said: "The more afraid you are, the easier it will be for someone to spot the problem. Now that it has just stopped raining and there are few people outside, hurry up and bury him. No one will notice."

Ding Hongxi had no choice but to kill Sister Ying, otherwise both of them would be prosperous and lose.

He hummed and put Chen Zuwang's body into a sack, carried it to the car, and made two sacks to cover it.

Although it couldn't be seen from the outside that there was a corpse inside, Ding Hongxi was a little afraid to ride out no matter what.

Sister Ying urged: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave."

Ding Hongxi stuttered a little: "I, I, I'm scared."

Sister Ying stepped forward to tidy up his clothes, kissed him again and said, "Hong Xi, you can do it. When you come back, I will be your wife. You will have a child next year."

A thunder suddenly sounded.

He rode very fast on the road, and his wheels brought up a string of water lines.

Xu Deyong and Xu Huizhen talked, took Liu Dezhu to the grain store, loaded the grain and covered it with a tarpaulin, and then rode away, leaving early and returning early.

"Well..."

It rained again for a while, and in the evening the sky finally cleared up, and a rosy cloud appeared in the sky.

Erya said: "My aunt went to see my uncle."

Xu Huizhen hugged Xiao Lier and played with the raindrops remaining on the flowers and leaves.

Chen Xueru said: "What's so good about my brother? As long as he has money, he won't starve to death."

Xu Huizhen came back when she saw Xu Deyong and said, "Well, leave it to you. This little guy will have endless fun."

Xiao Li'er poked it with her little hand, and the raindrops on the flowers and leaves flowed down.

Xu Deyong couldn't help but take a second look.

After entering the house, Xiaohou Kui crawled on the ground and came towards her.

He rode fast all the way out of Yongding Gate and arrived at the cemetery outside Shashakou.

Hey, no, why did I end up in this situation?

Yes, it's because of my brother-in-law Liao Yucheng.

……

"boom……."

Ding Hongxi was suddenly frightened. He glanced at the sack containing the corpse and almost wanted to throw away his bag and run away.

Ding Hongxi smiled bitterly. Now he finally had a taste of what it meant to steal the chicken but lose the rice.

Xu Huizhen touched her belly and looked at them with a smile.

Chen Xueru looked down, picked him up and said, "Look at how stupid you are. You can't be stupid anymore when you grow up."

"Ah bah..." Xiao Li'er didn't care at all and continued to play.

……

Chen Xueru took off her thin coat and hung it up and said, "Erya, where is my mother?"

Chen Xueru carried the small bag and staggered back home.

Xiao Li'er just chuckled, her little arms and legs swaying happily, and then she continued.

The rain has just stopped, the weather is still gloomy, and I look like I will "cry" to you even if I don't agree with you.

After leaving the city, a tricycle came towards me, and it was riding very slowly.

Hey, the license plate seems to belong to the guy named Qiangzi, but the rider is obviously not.

Xu Deyong took it with a smile, patted Xiao Li'er's little butt and said, "Look, your mother is tired."

The two sides passed each other, and Xu Deyong didn't think much about it.

Damn it, you can’t relax even if I’m not at ease!

With his heart pounding, he dug a hole in the mud, carried the sack inside, and hurriedly buried it. He briefly disguised himself, then dragged a pair of muddy shoes onto his car and fled.

Ding Hongxi took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, got on his tricycle and headed out of the city.

Xiaohou Kui has climbed to Chen Xueru's feet, holding Chen Xueru's calf happily.

After the rain stopped, Liu Dezhu came over and informed Xu Deyong that the grain store asked him to go to Shashakou to deliver grain.

Ding Hongxi was riding his bicycle on the road. There were not many pedestrians. He was nervous when meeting people, but no one paid him any attention.

Xiaohou Kui grinned and pulled Chen Xueru's hair.

Erya didn't speak when he heard this.

If you have a job, you have to do it, otherwise people won't look for him next time.

After delivering the goods and getting the receipt, Xu Deyong went to the grain store to pay the bill, collected the money, chatted with Director Ma over a cigarette, and then went home.

Seeing no one around, he quickly took out a shovel from the car and started digging in an empty field.

Chen Xueru said angrily: "Don't pull, be honest..."

After a while, Chen's mother came back and said to Chen Xueru: "Xueru, your brother hasn't been back for two days. There's no way to go on like this!"

Chen Xueru spread her hands and said: "What can we do? He doesn't do anything at all. It's not that we didn't ask him to help before, but he is good and has been unhelpful."

"Hey..." Mother Chen sighed and said, "People say that when you start a family, you need to make arrangements to start a family first. Maybe you will change your gender after you have a wife and children."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes when she heard this and said, "With his reputation, he won't even think about good girls in the city, and he doesn't look down on ordinary people. What do you think we should do?"

Chen's mother said: "How about you ask someone to go to the countryside to give Zhang Luo a handsome one? We can pay more."

Chen Xueru said: "Of course it is possible, but you have to convince your son first. After all, marrying a country girl is a shame for him."

Mother Chen nodded and said, "Well, if you see Zu Wang again, you have to force him to agree. He is already a grown man. If he doesn't agree, his money will be cut off."

Chen Xueru said: "You should have done this long ago."

……

Tomorrow after tomorrow, Chen's mother went to Chen Zuwang's residence, but there was still no sign of her coming back. Chen's mother began to panic.

He quickly went to the silk store to find Chen Xueru and said, "Xueru, your brother hasn't been home for four or five days. What if something happens to him?"

Chen Xueru's eyes narrowed slightly and she said: "Look for it first. If it doesn't work, you can only go to the police station to report the crime."

Mother Chen said anxiously: "Where can I find him here? Who knows where he often hangs out!"

Chen Xueru said: "Mom, don't worry. You go search near his house first. I'll ask someone to help with the search."

The mother and daughter went their separate ways. Chen Xueru went to Dashilan and asked several restaurants where Chen Zuwang frequented, saying that she had not seen Chen Zuwang these days.

Chen Xueru suddenly had a bad premonition. Although Chen Zuwang was out of character, he was her relative after all.

After meeting up with my mother, there was no result, so I decisively went to the police station to call the police.

After taking notes, the police said: "We will ask the street inspectors to pay attention, and we will also send people to visit, but our manpower is limited, and your family members should try their best to mobilize relatives and friends to search for you."

"Thank you, Comrade Public Security." Chen Xueru could only say thank you and come out.

At this time, the family lacked a backbone, and both mother and daughter were a little helpless.

Mother Chen said with a mournful face: "Xue Ru, you know many people, ask them to help search for her."

Chen Xueru nodded, forced a smile and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry too much, maybe my brother is fooling around somewhere."

Chen's mother said: "This is the first time he has not been home for such a long time. Every time I don't give him too much money because I am afraid that he will not be seen for such a long time."

Chen Xueru said: "Mom, please go home and wait. I may come later. I'll find someone to help search for her."

"Hey, then go quickly." ...

At this time, Chen Xueru would subconsciously think of Xu Deyong.

Then he hurried to Xu Huizhen's home.

At this time, Xu Deyong was instructing the Ma Fei brothers and sisters, teaching them how to repair various clockworks.

Chen Xueru glanced at the door, then opened it and walked in.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Hey, Sister Xueru, what kind of wind has brought you here."

Chen Xueru said: "I don't have time to chat with you. My good-for-nothing brother hasn't been seen for several days. I reported him to the police station. Please help me look for him."

Seeing that there was serious business, Xu Deyong also put away his smile and asked: "Where does your brother usually go?"

Chen Xueru said: "I usually don't care about his affairs. My mother gives him a few dollars. At most, he goes out to play for two or three days and then goes home."

To be honest, Xu Deyong has heard of Chen Xueru, the "second generation ancestor" brother, but he has never seen him.

Now with all this information added up, we have a general understanding of Chen Zuwang's image.

I'm single, unemployed, and have some spare money. What else can I do when I go out to play these days?

Chen Xueru said: "Deyong, you ride out to help look for it, and I will find other people to help keep an eye on it."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Ma Fei, who was waiting to say hello, just opened his mouth but no words came out.

Seeing Xu Deyong not moving, he couldn't help but said: "Brother Deyong, let's help find someone quickly."

Xu Deyong said: "You also need to be strategic when looking for people. What do you think a person with some spare money and nothing to do usually does?"

"Let's play cards and mahjong and bet on two hands." Ma Fei said casually.

Xu Deyong said: "It's possible to find a woman."

Ma Fei's eyes lit up and he said, "If you find people playing cards and hanging out nearby, you might get the news."

"Yes." Xu Deyong nodded and said, "Ma Ying, you can help look after Xiao Li'er at home. Your brother and I will go out and help find someone."

Ma Ying thought for a while and said, "If you have no clue, you can ask Uncle Yu. He knows many people in this area."

Ma Fei said: "I know."

At the same time, the public security also announced to the streets that they were looking for Chen Zuwang.

As a member of the street security team, Liao Yucheng naturally received the news, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Using the excuse of looking for someone, he went straight to his father-in-law's house to look for his brother-in-law Ding Hongxi.

Ding Hongxi also went out to stock up on things for two days and came back without hearing any news.

It wasn't that he wanted to come back, it was Sister Ying who said she would go to the police station to report the crime if she didn't see him for three days.

He doesn't dare to gamble!

Seeing Liao Yucheng's arrival, Ding Hongxi became a little angry and said sarcastically: "Hey, brother-in-law, you come to your husband's house empty-handed!"

Liao Yucheng didn't care about his tone. He pulled him aside and said, "Hong Xi, Chen Zuwang is missing. The police station asked the streets to pay attention. Does this have anything to do with you?"

Seeing his look, Ding Hongxi felt inexplicably happy and whispered: "Brother-in-law, I did all this according to your instructions."

Liao Yucheng's heart trembled and he said, "Hong Xi, don't scare your brother-in-law!"

Ding Hongxi grabbed his collar with his backhand and said angrily: "You know you are afraid. It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I would have been in such a situation!"

Liao Yucheng held his wrist and said, "What's going on! You won't... won't kill him, right?"

Ding Hongxi said: "No, but he died on a woman's belly. And because of your bad thing, I was also there at the time. I moved my hands and was blamed."

"Where is that person?" Liao Yucheng said.

"Buried."

Liao Yucheng said angrily: "Hong Xi, you are getting deeper and deeper!"

Ding Hongxi said: "Then what should I do? Call the police? I will definitely take responsibility. I don't want to be a slave."

Liao Yucheng felt like he was in trouble.

Ding Hongxi said: "You have now realized how I felt at that time. If we are held accountable, you will not be able to escape the responsibility. You were the one who ordered me. Even if you don't take the job, you will not be able to keep this job."

Fuck, Liao Yucheng was a little crazy. If Chen Xueru knew about it, he would definitely finish it off.

How did things develop to this point?

Heaven and earth, he could only pray that this matter would never be discovered.

……

Xu Deyong and Ma Fei searched around Chen Zuwang's house.

Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways. It's the same as people who have never experienced anything. They can't find the way and can only be busy and peaceful.

Someone needs to guide you!

So the two of them found Yu Xun and asked people who played cards and gambled in this area.

Naturally, Yu Xun would not remember such a trivial matter, but he just called someone.

After hearing this, the man said directly: "The people playing cards in this area are naturally Ma Wu and a few poor people."

Upon hearing this, Ma Fei said: "Take us quickly to find them."

Xu Deyong thanked Yu Xundao, and the three of them came to the "stronghold" where Ma Wu and others often stayed, which was exactly where Chen Zuwang played cards before.

"Ma Wu, have any of you seen Chen Zuwang?" Ma Fei asked directly.

Ma Wu didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the person who brought them here, and said quickly: "We've met, we met two days ago. We played cards together. After playing, he should go to find his wife."

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes and said, "How do you know?"

Ma Wu smiled and said, "Hey, he still had some money at that time, and he said he wanted to feed his brothers below."

"Then do you know where to go?"

Ma Wu and others looked at each other, and one of them said: "I should go to Sister Ying's place..."

Before he finished speaking, two more people came outside, and one of them said: "Which one of you is called Ma Wu?"

Ma Wu was wondering, why is it so lively today and everyone comes to see me?

Seeing that their temperaments were somewhat different, he smiled and said, "I am, I am."

The man took out his ID and let him look at it and said, "We are the police. I heard that sometimes there is gambling in the drama here."

Ma Wu said quickly: "Comrade Public Security, it's absolutely nothing. Sometimes we just play a few cards to sharpen our skills. There is absolutely no gambling."

When I said it, I was cursing my mother in my heart, because that bastard told them out.

The policeman said, "I want to ask you something. Have you ever seen this person Chen Zuwang?"

Ma Wu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and glanced at Xu Deyong and the others.

The policeman was very alert and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you here to find someone too?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Comrade Public Security, we are looking for someone at the request of Chen Zuwang's family. We have already received clues that we may be looking for a woman named Sister Ying."

The police officer glanced at Ma Wu.

Ma Wu said quickly: "Yes, yes, that's Sister Ying."

The police comrade nodded and said, "You think quickly, so let's go and have a look together."

Xu Deyong said: "It's just a fluke."

Many people think they are doing things without knowing it, but in the eyes of people with a higher vision, there are flaws everywhere.

Hidden in a person's character are the paths you have traveled, the things you have done, and the people you have met.

A group of people came to Sister Ying's courtyard and knocked on the door.
