Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 136 Disorganized Information

"It seems your older sister and Aunt Wang were arrested because of that man."

"How could that be? Li Minghao went back to his hometown a long time ago. My mom said he's too poor to afford such a large dowry..."

Ji Hao buried his head in his hands, lost in memories, his brows furrowed in pain.

"Second sister, did that man bully my eldest sister and my mother? You have to help them, that man is no good."

"When will my mom be able to come out? I want to ask her in person."

Ji Hao had a headache, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was extremely emotionally vulnerable.

"Right now, only I can help Aunt Wang and your older sister. Just tell me the man's name, and Aunt Wang has mentioned him to you a few times, and tell me exactly what he does."

Ji Sisi was worried that if he continued down this path, he would be taken back before visiting hours were over.

Ji Hao's next words were still disorganized, and Ji Sisi could only extract keywords from them and then summarize them into useful information.

When they were almost finished talking, a prison guard spoke up to remind them.

"Time is up."

Ji Hao was taken away, and Ji Sisi also left the prison under the guidance of the prison guards.

Xie Zhonghua, who had been waiting outside, came up to greet him. "Well, did they say anything?"

“He has a mental problem, his mind is not clear, and what he says is fragmented.”

Ji Sisi also had a headache. Ji Hao even started to stutter towards the end. The prison guards saw that he was not in good mental condition and tried to take him away several times.

"She didn't say much. What we can confirm right now is that the man's name is Li Minghao, and he works as a temporary worker at the meat processing plant. His relationship with Ji Nian shouldn't be as bad as she described."

After listening to Ji Hao's words, Ji Sisi made a bold guess.

After relaying the information Ji Hao had revealed to Xie Zhonghua, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you think it's possible that Li Minghao has fallen for Ji Nian?"

"Actually, Ji Nian's actions weren't in self-defense; there's more to the story?"

Xie Zhonghua dared not agree rashly. "I found out that this Li Minghao has done a lot of petty theft and is a frequent visitor to the police station. He is a seasoned veteran who has been detained several times."

Ji Sisi remained silent.

Was it self-defense or premeditated murder?

"Attorney Xie, could you please organize these documents? We'll just submit the materials; the investigation will be handled by the police."

What she wanted wasn't the truth, but to get rid of her troubles as soon as possible, preferably all at once.

The more evidence they gather, the lower Ji Nian's chances of winning become.

Including the research institute, Qi Yan, and Aunt Zou, that's actually enough.

But Ji Sisi still wanted to try and see if she could get anything out of Wang Cuifen.
-
Detention center.

"Wang Cuifen, someone has come to see you."

Footsteps echoed in the quiet corridor, followed by the sound of a lock being opened and Wang Cuifen's puzzled expression.

"Who, who came to see me?"

Ji Nian quickly turned her back to the aisle, not daring to let Wang Cuifen recognize her.

"Your youngest daughter."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Cuifen turned and went back into her room, shouting, "I'm not going, I'm not going. She's not my daughter. I don't want to see her."

Ji Nian's pupils contracted, her heart filled with shock.

Why is Ji Sisi back? Could it be that she brought Mom in?

Seeing that Wang Cuifen was unwilling, the police were briefly in a difficult position, but quickly compromised.

"Are you going or not? She asked me to give you a message, saying it's about Ji Hao's recent situation."

Wang Cuifen suddenly looked up. "She went to see Hao Hao?"

The police officer patiently asked again, "Are you going or not?"

"I'll go!" Wang Cuifen nodded emphatically and eagerly left the room.

Visits at the detention center are more relaxed than those in prison. Wang Cuifen was led to a room where Ji Sisi had been waiting for a long time. Hearing the door open, Ji Sisi stood up.

As Wang Cuifen entered the room, she met Ji Sisi's eyes, which seemed to be both smiling and not smiling, and her heart pounded like a drum.

"Why are you going to see Hao Hao? He can't handle any more stress right now. What exactly do you want?"

“I didn’t do anything. If Aunt Wang doesn’t believe me, she can ask him when she gets out. Anyway, he’ll spend the rest of his life inside, and he’s not going to run away.”

Wang Cuifen sensed the sarcasm in Ji Sisi's words.

"What do you want from me?"

"I want to ask about Li Minghao."

Upon hearing the name, he immediately turned his head and said, "I don't know him."

"How did Ji Hao know?"

Wang Cuifen looked at Ji Sisi with resentment and hatred in her eyes.

"Stop beating around the bush, what exactly do you want to know?"

"What exactly happened with Li Minghao?"

Three thousand yuan. Even though Qi Yan's family was wealthy, they only gave about a thousand yuan as a bride price. How dare Wang Cuifen ask a small-time hoodlum for such an exorbitant amount?

Wang Cuifen said sinisterly, "If you hadn't taken all my money back then, would I have had to resort to extorting a scoundrel?"

"Since it's life imprisonment anyway, does it really matter whether I pay or not? Since you're unwilling to talk about it, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you."

Ji Sisi stood up. "I've finished speaking. Thank you, officer."

The speed of the visitation surprised even the police.

When Xie Zhonghua saw Ji Sisi come out so quickly, he was just about to rest and sort out the evidence when she came out of the station.

"I've been through a lot today, and I don't have the patience to waste any more time with her. I know her well; if I leave her alone for a few days, she'll naturally tell me everything."

Xie Zhonghua thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

Busy until evening, before Aunt Liu got off work, Ji Sisi took a slightly longer route past her workplace, hesitating whether to call Qi Yan that night.

Aunt Liu was carrying a bag and pushing her bicycle when she came out of her workplace.

"Sisi, there's a telegram for you. You've come at the perfect time."

Ji Sisi took the telegram and told the truth, "Unfortunately, I just came to see if there was a phone call or telegram for me."

Aunt Liu looked at her with a doting smile, unable to do anything about it, yet feeling very gratified.

Ji Sisi used to be a quiet person, keeping everything to herself. Now she's much better; she's outgoing and speaks her mind.

She likes this straightforward personality.

"Then I'll head back to the guesthouse now. Goodbye, Aunt Liu."

Upon receiving the telegram, Ji Sisi couldn't resist opening it to see what Qi Yan had written for her.

Seeing that the restaurant next to the guesthouse was still open, Ji Sisi sang the empty city strategy and walked straight into the restaurant without hesitation.

Eating while watching is the same.

"A bowl of noodles with minced meat sauce, please."

"Okay, just wait." The waiter wrote down the menu and handed it to the kitchen. "Nothing else?"

"No, I'll just have a bowl of noodles."

It was just past dinner time, and the restaurant wasn't crowded. Ji Sisi found a corner seat and sat down.

She took out the telegram and carefully opened it.

[Sisi, is everything going smoothly? You didn't call me back from Jianghai, which made me a little worried. Coincidentally, Zhifeng is also arriving in Jianghai soon; he's expected to arrive on August 20th. If anything urgent happens in the next few days, please call or send me a telegram.]

Just when Ji Sisi thought that was it, she discovered there was another letter inside, with much more words than the previous page.

She unfolded it, and the further down she looked, the more her lips curled up in a smile.
