Chapter 194 You Should Still Come With Me
“It’s not good to go hungry, it can upset your stomach. I’ll cook you some noodles, and it won’t bother anyone else.” Deng Xiuzhen said, turning to go to the kitchen.
Afraid of making a sound, they hunched over, shrunk their shoulders, and tiptoed around.
Tian Guoqiang looked up and saw Deng Xiuzhen's furtive back, like a Japanese soldier entering a village. He almost burst out laughing and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
I secretly followed them to the kitchen.
What he didn't know was that his timid and cautious demeanor was even more hilarious than Deng Xiuzhen's.
"Delicious! Absolutely delicious!" Tian Guoqiang slurped down the last mouthful of noodle soup, his eyes slightly narrowed, a look of pure bliss on his face.
After finishing the noodles, Tian Guoqiang told Deng Xiuzhen that the DNA comparison results were in, confirming that the pieces of meat in the refrigerator and the human head in the pressure cooker were indeed Liu Youzhen.
The fingerprints under the stool, the fingerprints on the cigarette butt outside the window, and the saliva DNA test all belonged to Li Zhigang.
With irrefutable evidence, they confessed that they were the ones who murdered Liu Youzhen.
He said his original intention was only to teach Liu Youzhen a lesson for Li Xiaomei, but he accidentally killed her. To cover up his crime, he tried to destroy the evidence.
“Impossible! That’s a devil, he must have committed murder on purpose!” Deng Xiuzhen said in a low voice, but her tone showed that she was very agitated and angry.
"Xiuzhen?" Tian Guoqiang patted Deng Xiuzhen's arm reassuringly.
"That day I heard him say with my own ears that no one who fell into his hands was ever untied while still alive."
I also heard him tell his accomplices that after they had their fun, he would dismember Li Xiaomei!
"If you hadn't arrived in time, I probably would have ended up in the refrigerator or pressure cooker too." Recalling that scene, Deng Xiuzhen felt a chill run down her spine and trembled all over.
Tian Guoqiang patted Deng Xiuzhen's back and whispered, "Yes, I will definitely find evidence and make him pay with a bullet. I will never let this kind of demon come out and hurt people again!"
"How did Li Xiaomei end up sending the information to Liu Youzhen's phone? And how did she know the old man's specific situation?" Deng Xiuzhen suddenly thought of these two questions.
"Didn't you say that Li Xiaomei was mainly responsible for training, receiving customers, and distributing flyers at your place? How could the people who distribute flyers not know the recipient's address?" Tian Guoqiang asked curiously.
Deng Xiuzhen replied, "The dispatcher will definitely know the customer's address and needs. But the dispatcher won't know how many people are in the customer's family or what their ages are."
Moreover, Li Xiaomei didn't get along well with anyone, and no one talked to her about her work situation in private. She lived far from West Street.
"Perhaps she overheard those people talking amongst themselves after work. She probably chose a place far from home to avoid running into acquaintances, and besides, this place is dilapidated and uninhabited," Tian Guoqiang analyzed.
Upon hearing this, Deng Xiuzhen thought it made sense and didn't say anything more.
Tian Guoqiang again instructed Deng Xiuzhen not to go to West Street for the time being, so as not to disrupt their plans. Then he quickly left.
He had to immediately re-interrogate Li Xiaomei: Why was the text message sent to Zhang Liuying? Whose phone number was it, or where did it come from?
How did they know about this place and choose it as the location to take revenge on Liu Youzhen?
……
Also, before the case is solved, someone needs to be arranged to protect Deng Xiuzhen 24 hours a day.
I didn't tell Deng Xiuzhen because I was afraid of making her panic. I was also afraid that her unusual emotional state would alert her.
After Tian Guoqiang walked away, Deng Xiuzhen went back to bed and lay there to wait out the time. Finally, dawn broke, and the lights in the nearby houses began to turn on, and pedestrians appeared on the road.
Deng Xiuzhen then got up, turned on the washing machine, and started cleaning.
The hands and feet were bruised and swollen, but this was only because they had been tied up for a long time without moving around, and there was no bone damage.
She thought that since sitting still would hurt anyway, she might as well do something to ease her worries.
After tidying up the house and washing the clothes, Deng Xiuzhen changed into a loose-fitting outfit with long sleeves and trousers before heading to her company.
On the way, I received a call from Zhang Liuying, saying that the old man from West Street Alley had called again, specifically requesting Deng Xiuzhen to go. She asked what to do, whether she should explain to the old man and then send someone else.
Deng Xiuzhen said no need, and told Zhang Liuying to wait, and she would talk to her at the company.
Upon arriving at the company, Zhang Liuying rushed to greet them, followed by Liu Youzhen's child.
The little girl glanced timidly at Deng Xiuzhen and hid behind Zhang Liuying.
“Boss, it’s not that I wanted to bring her, it’s just that the child wanted to come herself, and I really couldn’t bring myself to refuse,” Zhang Liuying explained.
"Lanlan is very obedient and even helps with chores," Xiaoying said, patting Lanlan's head.
"What's your name?" Deng Xiuzhen squatted down and asked the little girl gently.
"Liu, Liu Lanlan," the little girl said, her eyes darting around nervously, but she still managed to answer the question.
"How old are you?" Deng Xiuzhen took Liu Lanlan's hand, pulled her to her side, and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I'm seven and a half years old, Auntie. Do you know where my mother went?" Liu Lanlan felt the warmth and kindness, and was no longer nervous. She blinked her big eyes and asked Deng Xiuzhen.
"I haven't seen her yet. Do you want to live with me and wait for your mother to come back?" Deng Xiuzhen asked softly.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll go with you. Will you take me to my mommy? I'm very obedient and well-behaved..."
“Lanlan, you should stay with me. Don’t trouble Boss Deng. After all, your mother entrusted you to my care,” Zhang Liuying interrupted Liu Lanlan.
"Auntie, can I not go with her and go with you instead? Will you take me to find my mother?" Liu Lanlan glanced at Zhang Liuying and quickly turned back to ask Deng Xiuzhen.
She stared longingly at Deng Xiuzhen, her little hands involuntarily gripping Deng Xiuzhen's clothes tightly.
"Yes," Deng Xiuzhen nodded with a smile.
"But you have to go to work soon, how will you take care of the child..."
“It’s alright, I’ll let her stay at the company while I’m at work, and I’ll pick her up when I get back.” Deng Xiuzhen said, taking Liu Lanlan’s hand and walking towards the service desk.
"Liu Ying, you come to work with me. Let Xiao Ying watch the company..."
"Boss, I have special circumstances today, can I not work with you?" Zhang Liuying quickly interrupted Deng Xiuzhen.
"Sister Liu Ying, it's inconvenient for you, so let me go with you. My leg is much better. The doctor said that as long as I don't do heavy work or stand for long periods of time, there won't be any problems," Yan Wenying said considerately.
Zhang Liuying looked at Yan Wenying with gratitude.
Deng Xiuzhen glanced at Zhang Liuying, then looked at Yan Wenying and said, "Alright, then you can come with me. But if you can't, just tell me. Don't be reckless!"
"Yes, yes, I know, boss, don't worry!" Yan Wenying shouted, her face beaming with barely concealed excitement.
Deng Xiuzhen went to pack her things, and Liu Lanlan followed behind her, watching quietly and obediently.
When Deng Xiuzhen was carrying her things and preparing to leave, she quickly followed behind them.
"Lanlan, don't run!" Zhang Liuying shouted.
