Chapter 357: 357 was taken away by the police (additional update)

Lin Tang saw that her cousin looked like she had taken a fall, with a red mark hanging on her arm.

Blood was oozing out in some spots.

Her hair was speckled with a few dry leaves.

She looked incredibly disheveled.

Lin Tang brought over a basin of water for her to wash up.

"Sister Xiaojing, wash up first and then take your time talking, I’ll take care of your wound," she said.

Lin Xiaojing shook her head, wiping her tears.

"No need, don’t worry about me for now, my mom has been taken away by the Public Security Bureau, I’m so anxious..."

Li Xiuli was shocked by the news, her whole body trembled.

"What? Your mom was taken away by the police? Why would that be?" she asked anxiously.

It made no sense at all!

Lin Xiaojing was frantic and completely lost.

"I don’t know, a few police officers just came to our house saying my mom had committed murder and then they took her away.

My dad went to inquire about it, my brother went to notify uncle, and I came to tell you all."

She felt totally weak now.

Her mind was a blank.

She had no idea what to do...

As her cousin spoke, Lin Tang found a moment to wipe her arm and apply some medicine.

She listened to the recount of events with one ear.

Murder?

Could her aunt really kill someone?

She couldn’t bring herself to believe it.

In her memory, although her aunt was thought to be heavy-hearted, she had a soft heart.

How could she possibly commit murder?

"Sister Xiaojing, calm down for a bit.

Let’s first get a clear understanding of the situation, we can discuss the rest after we have more information," she suggested.

Keeping a clear head was very important no matter the situation.

Getting flustered would only make things worse.

Saying this, Lin Tang looked to Lin Qingshan.

"Big brother, let’s go to the county to inquire about the situation."

Lin Lu stood up, saying, "I’ll go with you!"

Lin Qingshan was worried about any complications that might arise in the county and didn’t want to risk his father and sister’s safety.

"Let me go instead, we’re just going to find out what’s happening; it shouldn’t take too long."

He was tall and strong, and in the face of any sudden situations, he could handle it.

Li Xiuli was also worried about the head of the family going out at his age.

"Alright, let the eldest and Tangtang go."

She advised Lin Tang with concern, "Tangtang, be careful, and let your big brother take the lead if there’s any trouble."

Lin Qingshan nodded earnestly, feeling helpless inside.

"Mom, don’t worry, I’ll protect my sister."

Seeing his wife go on and on, and worried that Lin Shou might run into trouble, Lin Lu tugged at her arm.

"Stop the chatter!

Qingshan, Tangtang, you just go and get a sense of the situation.

We’ll discuss what to do specifically after that."

The two siblings agreed and left on their bicycles.

No sooner had they left, Lin Fu’s family arrived.

Seeing Lin Xiaojing there, they knew the news about the second family’s mother-in-law’s troubles had reached them.

Gao Ping’s expression was extremely serious.

"Xiuli, you’ve heard, right?

My husband and I came over to see if we could come up with a plan together to deal with this situation..."

The situation with Hongyan had truly stunned her.

Only on the way over did her mind start to clear up a bit.

Li Xiuli’s mind was also a bit muddled, her heart pounding fiercely.

"Qingshan and Tangtang have gone to the county to get news, let’s wait for them.

Once the news comes back, then we’ll figure out what to do."

Without the news, not knowing what happened, any plan would be futile.

When Lin Fu heard that Qingshan and Tangtang had gone to the county to get information, he felt slightly relieved.

He looked towards the two siblings, Lin Qingya and Lin Xiaojing.

"Qingya, Xiaojing, haven’t you noticed anything off about your mom?"

Such incidents of murder don’t just arise out of thin air.

If the third daughter-in-law really did commit a murder, wouldn’t the family members have felt something amiss?

Lin Qingya, after a period of training at the Sauce Factory, had become much more composed.

Although he was also anxious, he managed to maintain his composure somewhat.

He thought carefully but couldn’t pinpoint anything unusual.

So he shook his head, "No, I haven’t noticed anything amiss with my mom."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qingya turned to Lin Xiaojing, "Xiaojing, what about you? Have you noticed anything?"

He was thinking that maybe a girl’s intuition might have caught something.

Lin Xiaojing’s mind was a blank, unable to recall anything.

"I don’t know, I’ve been living in the factory all this time, only coming back to stay for one night on rest days, and I didn’t notice..."

At this point, her voice suddenly stopped short.

Gao Ping’s expression tightened.

"What’s wrong? Have you thought of something?"

Lin Xiaojing licked her dry lips and said, "There was a period when my mom specifically told me to be careful when going to and from work. She mentioned it several times..."

Her mom had repeated it several times, and at the time, she found it quite strange.

But she didn’t pay much attention to it!

Now, for some reason, it had suddenly come to mind.

Gao Ping and Li Xiuli exchanged puzzled looks.

They both began to feel uneasy.

Hearing Xiaojing mention this, they also seemed to remember something.

Hadn’t Hongyan said something about her sister before? Could it be related...?

Gao Ping speculated, "Could it be related to the incident involving Hongyan’s sister?"

Li Xiuli thought, what else could it be? Hongyan suddenly mentioned that there was something off about her sister.

Lin Fu pinched out the cigarette in his hand and asked with a frown, "...What incident?"

While the Lin Family members were guessing the truth behind Zhang Hongyan’s incident, Lin Qingshan and Lin Tang had arrived at the county.

As soon as they got there, they went straight to the Public Security Bureau.

At that moment, Lin Shou was angrily speaking with a young police officer.

"You take my daughter-in-law to the Public Security Bureau without saying anything. I ask for a reason, and you give no explanation. Are you bullying us country folk?"

Talking about my daughter-in-law murdering someone?

Bullshit!

All these are nonsense.

Utterly preposterous, it’s the pinnacle of absurdity.

My daughter-in-law is as soft-hearted as tofu; how could she possibly murder someone?

Even if... even if she did murder someone, it would have been out of desperation.

The young police officer rubbed his ears, forcing out a bitter smile.

"Fellow countryman, listen to me, it’s not that I won’t explain to you, I genuinely don’t know.

This case is being handled by our boss. What I can tell you, I’ve already told you.

No matter how much you press me, I can’t give you a clear explanation."

He was new and had only vaguely heard it was a homicide case.

Beyond that, he really knew nothing more.

Lin Shou’s mind was fully occupied with his daughter-in-law, and he could not absorb a single word.

"If you don’t know, someone must know. Please call someone who does, so I can ask them."

Lin Qingshan and Lin Tang heard what their third uncle said as soon as they arrived.

"Third Uncle!"

Lin Shou turned his head upon hearing the voice.

"It’s Qingshan and Tangtang, why have you come?"

Lin Tang: "Third Aunt has had an incident, how could we not come?"

After speaking, she looked towards the young police officer.

"Comrade, hello. We are relatives of Comrade Zhang Hongyan, my name is Lin Tang.

May I know which comrade is in charge of my third aunt’s case? We would like to understand the situation.

If the comrade handling the case is not available, I would like to speak with Comrade Liu Guoan."

The young police officer: "..." You’ve already said so much, what else can I say?

He forced a universally recognizable smile, "Alright, I will go call Captain Liu."

Having said that, he dashed off as if chased by a dog to fetch Liu Guoan.
