I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

After breakfast the next day, Xu Congyi told his family that he was going to the city, and then he went out. Because he now had the space travel function, he didn't have to get up too early. But even so, it was still a little early, so Xu Congyi planned to go to the dock to take a look.

She came to the dock where the female corpse was found that year. It was completely new. On the dock, workers carrying large bags were replaced one after another. The young faces were full of longing for the future, while the older generation of fishermen still stayed here, weaving the web of life with their wisdom and sweat.

There happened to be a few elderly fishermen resting near the dock, so Xu went over to try to get some unknown clues from them. After some effort, she learned an important piece of information: that summer, a strange man did appear frequently near the dock, and his behavior was quite mysterious. The reason why he had an impression of him was that the docks here generally did not attract passengers, but were used to transport goods and fishermen to dock their boats. Therefore, these people were not rich, and because they had to work, they wore clothes that were not very good, so they would not feel bad if they got dirty.

The old fisherman's eyes flashed with a glimmer of reminiscence, and he slowly said, "That summer, a strange man did come to the dock. He was not like us who did rough work. He was dressed neatly and his behavior was mysterious. It's strange to say, our dock is usually used for transporting goods, and there are few customers hanging out here, let alone as frequent as he is. I remember it very clearly because he always came alone and always appeared at dusk, as if he was looking for something."

"Do you have any impression of the girl who fell into the water?" Xu Congyi asked.

The wrinkles on the other old fisherman's face seemed to deepen when he heard this. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before slowly raising his head, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "That girl, ah, what a pity." He sighed and continued, "Although I have never seen her appearance with my own eyes, her misfortune spread all over the dock at that time. I heard that she was from another place, very pretty, and somehow she fell into the water. She was found at the dock early that morning. Everyone was very busy at that time and had no time to meddle in other people's business. There was another young man who was crying bitterly while holding her body."

At this point, the others also sighed, as if they were also touched by that past event.

"However," he changed the subject, a gleam in his eyes, "I remember that at that time, a few young men privately discussed that there seemed to be some unusual connection between the strange man and the drowned girl. Because after the girl fell into the water, the young man never showed up again. But these are just speculations. Without solid evidence, no one dared to speak nonsense."

Xu Congyi thanked the fishermen and asked others about the species of fish in the river. Without any other gains, he walked towards the Shen family.

"Brother Shen Xiao!" Xu Cong knocked on the door.

"I'm coming!" Shen Xiao's voice came from inside the door, followed by the creaking sound of the door hinge turning, and Shen Xiao's figure appeared behind the door.

"Yi Yi, why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast?"

Xu Congyi smiled and nodded, "I have eaten, Brother Shen Xiao, and I just went to the dock to ask some old fishermen. They mentioned some clues that I think may help us find the truth."

Shen Xiao's expression became serious when he heard this, "Really? Come in quickly, let's talk about it in detail." He stepped aside to let Xu Congyi in, and the two walked towards the main room together.

After sitting down in the main hall, Xu Congyi told Shen Xiao everything he had heard about the strange man at the dock and the fishermen's private discussions. Shen Xiao nodded as he listened, his brows furrowed, and he was obviously thinking seriously about the meaning of these clues.

"This strange man is indeed suspicious," Shen Xiao pondered, "His appearance and disappearance are too coincidental with the time when Chen Yuanyuan fell into the water. We can't help but consider the connection between them. However, it is not easy to prove this point. After all, we only have these vague descriptions and no substantial evidence."

Xu Cong nodded in agreement, "Yes, so when we talk to Mr. Tang later, we can tell him about this."

That's right, the reason why Xu Congyi came here today was because she and Shen Xiao told Tang Wenhao about the suspicious matter. She hesitated whether to tell him or not, after all, this was the Tang family's business, but Tang Wenhao had been busy with Shen Xiao's work for Uncle Han, and they had established a friendship in the process of doing business, so she wanted to help Tang Wenhao.

"Brother Shen Xiao, we should not only tell Young Master Tang these clues, but also encourage him. Whether Chen Yuanyuan is still alive or not, we should let him know that life still has infinite possibilities and he deserves to pursue new happiness." Xu Congyi continued to add.

Shen Xiao gently patted Xu Congyi's shoulder and gave her a supportive smile. "Yiyi, you are right. Wenhao is a strong man, I believe in him."

After a little preparation, the two went to Tang's Pastry Shop together. When Tang Wenhao learned that Xu Congyi and Shen Xiao were coming together, he immediately put down the book in his hand and opened the door to welcome them.

"Oh, you two are here together", Tang Wenhao seemed to be back to his heartless self. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes could not hide his fatigue. It seemed that he did not sleep well last night.

"Wenhao, we came here today because we have something important to tell you." Shen Xiao said straight to the point.

Hearing this, Tang Wenhao sensed that what Xu Congyi and Shen Xiao were about to say was of great importance. He motioned for them to sit down and discuss in detail.
