A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Jiang Guangming, who was standing to the side, was curious when he saw Qi Tongwei making such a big fuss here.

"Are you really sure the knife is in this river?"

Qi Tongwei nodded.

"I'm pretty sure!"

"why?"

“I was certain that Liu Wenjing’s family wouldn’t want the knife to be discovered after the incident. Knives are usually made of metal and will sink if they are placed in water. And this canal is the only body of water around Kang Village, so I concluded that the murder weapon must have been thrown into it by Liu Wenjing’s family!”

Hearing Qi Tongwei's analysis, although it made sense, it seemed too subjective.

Of course, the fact that this crucial piece of evidence was in the river was not something Qi Tongwei deduced in the first place.

That's what they saw in the original drama before their soul traveled back in time.

Looking at the people who were desperately trying to salvage the situation, Han Ming asked.

“I think it will take a long time here. Section Chief Qi, why don’t you consider going to Hao Xiuping’s house to see her?”

Hao Xiuping is the wife of the victim Wang Yongqiang, and she was played by Zhao Liying in the original drama.

Qi Tongwei looked at Han Ming and nodded.

Soon, the group arrived at Hao Xiuping's house.

As soon as everyone entered the house, Hao Xiuping immediately recognized Jia Lianyu.

They greeted each other with squeaks and groans; in the original drama, Hao Xiuping was a mute.

Jia Lianyu looked at Hao Xiuping in front of him and pointed to Qi Tongwei behind him.

"Hao Xiuping, this is a leader from the Provincial Procuratorate. He wants to understand your husband's case, so he has some things he'd like to discuss with you."

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Evidence Has Been Found

Upon hearing that Qi Tongwei was a leader from the province, Hao Xiuping immediately began gesturing towards him.

Jia Lianyu, who was standing to the side, said to Qi Tongwei.

"She means that her husband is an honest man and she hopes you can help her!"

Hao Xiuping nodded repeatedly after hearing Jia Lianyu's words.

At this moment, Qi Tongwei noticed a tag above Jia Lianyu's head: "[Sign Language (Purple)]".

Seeing this, Qi Tongwei thought, "I can do this myself, do I need you?"

"System, please bring me the entry for [Sign Language (Purple)]!"

[Ding! We have retrieved the relevant keywords for you!]

Qi Tongwei smiled and looked at Hao Xiuping.

"I know your husband has been wronged, and that's why I'm here!"

Hao Xiuping seemed very excited after hearing Qi Tongwei's words.

He continued gesturing anxiously.

At this moment, everyone looked at Jia Lianyu, hoping he could translate.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lianyu suddenly frowned at this moment.

"I'm a little confused for a moment, I don't quite understand what she means..."

Upon hearing Jia Lianyu's words, Hao Xiuping became extremely anxious and began gesturing frantically.

Upon seeing this, Qi Tongwei quickly spoke up.

“I know your husband was forced into it and it was self-defense!”

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, everyone looked at him in surprise.

Jiang Guangming asked with some surprise.

"Section Chief Qi, do you know sign language?"

Lü Lingling was also very curious.

"Tongwei, you know sign language too?"

Qi Tongwei smiled as he looked at the expressions of curiosity and admiration in one of them.

"I know a little!"

At this moment, Hao Xiuping expressed herself in sign language.

"Liu Wenjing is so bad! He bullied me, and I had no choice! It's not like what they say. I didn't do it willingly, even though my husband owes him a lot of money!"

Qi Tongwei nodded.

“I know, I’ve looked into this matter, and I believe you’re not the kind of person who would do something like that for money.”

Hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Hao Xiuping seemed very moved, her eyes filled with tears.

In Kang Village, someone went to the home of Liu Wenjing's father, the village head Liu Bingren.

"Village chief, something terrible has happened!"

"What's the big deal? Why are you making such a fuss?"

"A leader from the province came and went to Hao Xiuping's house with a lot of police officers."

"Go to Hao Xiuping's house?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bingren, who was sitting down, immediately stood up.

"Yes, village chief, what should we do?"

Liu Bingren took a deep breath.

"It's alright, there won't be any progress on this. They won't find any evidence, so don't panic. They're probably just here from the province to make a show of things. Once they leave, we'll go to that little wench's house and teach her a lesson!"

It was already quite late when I left Hao Xiuping's house.

At that moment, a police officer ran over.

"Sir, the evidence has been found!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

Jia Lianyu's eyes widened.

"Really? They really found Liu Wenjing's knife in that canal?"

The officer nodded.

"It should be. We've temporarily taken the items to the appraisal department, and we expect to have the results soon."

Upon hearing this, Jia Lianyu slapped his thigh hard.

"Wow! Section Chief Qi, you're amazing! I never expected that this evidence would be exactly as you analyzed; it was actually found in the canal!"

Qi Tongwei smiled slightly.

"That's not important, as long as the physical evidence has been found!"

Jiang Guangming's eyes also lit up. He had already said that whoever captured Gu Jiming would become his man.

That's great! Qi Tongwei is not only young and handsome, but also so capable.

Jiang Guangming couldn't help but be tempted.

Needless to say, Lü Lingling's worship of Qi Tongwei was mindless; she simply liked him.

Han Ming also changed his attitude towards Qi Tongwei at this time. At first, Han Ming thought that Qi Tongwei was just lucky to be able to solve Gu Jiming's case.

Now, Han Ming has to admit that Qi Tongwei does indeed have some ability.

Han Ming looked at the stars in the sky, then at Qi Tongwei, and then said.

"Section Chief Qi, it's getting late. Returning tonight would be too risky. Why don't we stay here and visit Liu Wenjing's father, Liu Bingren, again tomorrow morning?"

Qi Tongwei nodded.

"Okay, then let's stay in Kang Village for one night."

When the group arrived at the hotel in Kang Village, the receptionist told them that there were only four rooms left.

However, there are 5 people who need accommodation: Qi Tongwei, Han Ming, Jiang Guangming, Lü Lingling, and Jia Lianyu.

The police officers were fine; they all returned overnight.

Qi Tongwei looked at Lü Lingling beside him and said.

"It's okay, Lingling and I can share a room."

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Lü Lingling immediately blushed.

"Tongwei, that won't do! No matter how close we are, men and women shouldn't touch each other..."

Seeing Lü Lingling lower her head shyly, looking embarrassed.

It didn't seem like she was faking it, but that night Lü Lingling was like a war goddess, almost tearing down the hotel's presidential suite.

Why are you saying such things now?

Qi Tongwei suddenly remembered the entry on his body: "[Lv Lingling's Secret After Drinking (Gold)]".

If Qi Tongwei's guess is correct, Lü Lingling probably doesn't remember what happened that night at all.

Upon seeing this, Han Ming quickly said...

"It's alright, Section Chief Qi. Jia Lianyu and I can share a room. You and the two ladies can each have a room and get some rest!"

After hearing Han Ming's words, Qi Tongwei nodded in agreement.

Jiang Guangming looked at Lü Lingling with some surprise. What did she mean? Were the two of them having an affair?

After returning to his room, Qi Tongwei called Zhong Xiaoai to let her know he was going on a business trip.

Afterwards, he prepared to wash up and go to bed.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Qi Tongwei was somewhat surprised. Who was this person? A service salesperson?
