Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

Xu Mei looked at the child lying in Zhang Yanyan's arms, wrapped tightly in a quilt, and couldn't understand it.

In the sultry summer, set off firecrackers.

How big of a show is this for Zhang Yanyan to come over with her son who has just turned six months old?

Could it be that he wanted Zhang Jinhua, a wealthy uncle, to give a big red envelope to the child he met for the first time?

"Hey, did you see that?"

Next to Xu Mei, one fat and one thin, two men in their fifties took out candies from their pockets. The exquisite packages were printed with letters that she could not understand. At first glance, they were not from the village store.

The thin man said: "I saw it, it's so beautiful and shiny, how much does it cost!"

"How much? No eighty or ninety thousand?"

Eighty or ninety thousand?

Xu Mei's eyes widened.

Isn't it just candy? It doesn’t cost eighty or ninety thousand to make it out of gold! !

Xu Mei glanced sideways and saw that the attention of the two people who had just spoken was not on their hands at all, but on the opposite side, behind Zhang Jinhua's family, the silver-gray SUV parked in the self-built house compound.

"Eighty to ninety thousand? Can it be that much?" the thin man asked in shock.

"Didn't Zhang Jinhua, his father's brother, already buy a car when he married his wife? I heard it cost 70,000 yuan."

"Let me put it this way, Zhang Jinhua's car is better than his. It costs 100,000 yuan." After saying that, the thin man lowered his head and played with the candy in his hand and asked, "Do you know him?"

"What do you know?"

"brand?"

The fat man shook his head: "I don't know foreign words."

Then, the thin man opened the golden tin foil package and looked at the dark things inside with some confusion.

"Why is this black? Can you eat it?"

The fat man looked at the identical candy in his hand and was equally puzzled.

"It should be possible, otherwise what would Zhang Jinhua do for us?"

The thin man took a bite, wrinkled his face as if chewing wax, and said, "What kind of candy is this? Why does it still taste bitter? Isn't it bad?"

"No way, he is already a big boss. Isn't it shabby to give us expired things?"

Suddenly, there were loud cheers and cheers. Xu Mei came back to her senses and saw Zhang Jinhua, who was standing among the villagers talking eloquently, finally finished his speech.

As soon as they heard that the Zhang family was hosting a banquet for the whole village today, everyone rushed to the courtyard in a lively manner.

Xu Mei was not interested in eating for free, and was about to turn around and leave when she heard Zhang Yanyan calling her.

She looked back at her good friend who was running towards her with her child in her arms, and said bluntly: "The weather is so hot, if you hold him like this, you will get prickly heat all over your body!"

Zhang Yanyan smiled slightly and explained: "I didn't give him a quilt originally because I was afraid that the sound of firecrackers would be too loud and the child wouldn't be able to bear it."

"Won't you stay away if you knew he couldn't bear it? You are relatives, not strangers. No one will say anything to you if you go into the house and wait."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to get it when I go inside."

As she said that, Zhang Yanyan took out two shiny golden candies from her pocket, which were exactly the same as those in the hands of the two men who were talking to Xu Mei just now.

"Chocolate was brought back from Yue'an by my cousin. It is produced in a country called Italy. It sells for a thousand yuan per pound. It is very expensive!"

"one thousand!"

Xu Mei pondered over and over the candy in her hand, which was only as long as her thumb. In her ears, Zhang Yanyan crackled her words about the rumors that were self-defeating, like a voice-over, distant and vague.

"Okay, stop looking!"

Zhang Yanyan snatched the chocolate from Xu Mei's hand and put it into her pocket.

Then, she seized the opportunity where she was stunned and carelessly thrust the child into Xu Mei's hand!

"What are you doing?!"

Xu Mei was startled. She hugged the drowsy baby tightly and softly, for fear of waking him up.

Zhang Yanyan slowly moved her arms, which had been sore for a long time, and said with a grin: "I'm so tired, please help me hold her for a while."

Xu Mei curled her lips.

It wasn't that she was unwilling, it was just that she couldn't help but dislike Zhang Yanyan for being so stupid.

"I told you before to use the baby carrier to free your hands and not be so tired, but you just didn't listen and insisted on carrying it alive and suffering!"

Zhang Yanyan straightened her stiff back, and the reason remained the same.

"It doesn't look good."

When she is too busy at home and has to take care of the children, she will take care of them.

But if I want her to come out like that, I won’t do it.

"Okay." Zhang Yanyan leaned over and glanced at her son who was sucking his thumb, and blinked at her friend excitedly, "Let's go eat!"

Xu Mei shook her head repeatedly: "Forget it, I won't go."

Dozens of people had just gathered around the door of Zhang's house, waiting for them to go in and eat, not to mention big fish and meat, rice and bread. If they found a piece, she would lose.

"It's okay!" Zhang Yanyan grabbed her arm and dragged her into the gate, "The villagers are eating in the yard, I will take you in to eat."

When she walked in, Xu Mei was so surprised by the magnificent decoration that she forgot to think.

They live in the same village and live as if one is in heaven and the other is on earth.

Zhang Yanyan pulled Xu Mei, who was holding the baby, all the way to the restaurant on the second floor. When the uncle saw her, he immediately waved enthusiastically and kept asking: "Where have you been and why did you come up here?"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Yanyan to answer, she turned around and asked her aunt to give Xu Mei some dishes and chopsticks.

Xu Mei stood up in a hurry. Just when she was about to say that she could do it, Zhang Yanyan pulled her to sit next to her cousin Zhang Jinhua.

Meeting Zhang Jinhua's gaze, Xu Mei nodded awkwardly.

"You," Zhang Jinhua said, "have we met before?"

Zhang Yanyan was shocked: "Cousin, you actually remember?!"

"Why can't you remember?"

"That was already when I was very young! Ten years ago!"

Zhang Jinhua took a sip of wine and said, "But you only have a few friends."

Hearing her friend, Zhang Yanyan immediately waved her hand and corrected: "Ignore those things, now, this is the only one."

Zhang Jinhua didn't answer Zhang Yanyan's words. He looked at the reserved Xu Mei and asked, "I remember you seem to have a younger brother? Or is it an older brother?"

When Xu Yuanhong was mentioned, Xu Mei was so angry that she instantly forgot her nervous mood just now and said calmly: "It's my younger brother."

Seemingly not noticing the difference in Xu Mei, Zhang Jinhua picked up some vegetables and chatted: "How old is he and what is he doing now?"

"17, no school, no job."

"It's a good age." Zhang Jinhua gently put down his chopsticks, crossed his hands and looked at the delicious food on the table, and said, "When you go back, you can ask him if he wants to work."

Xu Mei looked at Zhang Jinhua in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Zhang Jinhua looked at Xu Mei and showed a very gentlemanly smile, "My business is getting bigger and bigger, and I am in urgent need of manpower."

Xu Mei's heart moved, "You mean, go to Yue'an?"

"Of course, my career is there."

"How much can you earn?"

Zhang Jinhua looked at Xu Mei with interest. After a moment, he said, "Do you want to go?"

If there was a good opportunity for her to leave home without being favored or forced to marry, she would really like to give it a try!

Xu Mei opened her mouth, which was so excited that she was shaking, and glanced outside the window behind her at the cars parked in the compound.

"Can you make one hundred thousand a year?"

Xu Mei's casual glance caught Zhang Jinhua's eyes. He smiled slightly and asked, "Do you know Che?"

Xu Mei shook her head.

Zhang Jinhua took out the car keys and placed them between the two of them, "One year, a BMW X5."

"One hundred thousand?"

"Seven hundred thousand."
