After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again
Chapter 82 Returning Home (8)
Before Guo Xin came, the person who contacted Lao Fang every day in the name of pouring night incense was Tian Ma.
After she learned from Lao Fang about the situation of the second-in-command of the bandits, they both analyzed that it was revenge by their enemies, and told Tong Jia without delay.
Because he was not sure whether Rong Xinzhi would go to the hospital or the police station, he could not miss such a good opportunity to "encounter" Rong Xinzhi by chance.
She said, "Mother Tian, find any excuse to go to the hospital. Besides asking about the conditions of those people, see if you can see Rong Xinzhi.
If you meet her, tell her I've been looking for her and bring her over.
Lele and I went to the police station to report the case, saying that my sister was missing. Since something happened there, the police station would definitely ask everyone about the situation.
Even if we don't meet him today, we will definitely get news in the next two or three days."
Mother Tian nodded, and the three of them ate some whole sweet potatoes for breakfast, then went off to do their own things.
It just so happened that Xiao Kong was among the people sent to question. When Tong Jia went to the police station to report the case, it was just when the first group of people who were questioning had returned from their shift change. Couldn't this information be exchanged openly?
In fact, it was not such a coincidence. When Tong Jia reported the case and was about to leave, Xiao Kong and others were returning to the police station.
Xiao Kong and Tong Jia had originally wanted to pretend they didn't know each other and just pass by. However, Xiao Kong's colleague was so impressed by Rong Xinzhi that he asked, "Brother Kong, am I possessed by a demon? Or did that woman with the eyelids cry? Why does everyone look like her?"
Xiao Kong and Tong Jia were both stunned when they heard this, but Tong Jia was the quickest to react. She immediately turned around and grabbed the sleeve of the patrolman who was speaking, and asked excitedly, "Sir, where have you seen a girl who looks like me?
My sister is missing, and I am here to report the case and look for her.
May I ask the name of the girl you are questioning, and where is she now?
Xiao Kong looked at Tao Junle and then at Tong Jia, knowing that the two of them were officially going to contact the bandits.
But he felt that now was not a good time. Those bandits had just gotten into trouble. Judging from the interrogation, they had clearly lost something, but everyone was hesitant, sometimes saying they had lost something, and sometimes saying they hadn't. If they recognized each other at this time, it was hard to say what would happen.
He originally wanted to come back and rest, so he went to Yang Jixia to discuss whether to change the original plan. He didn't expect Tong Jia to be so fast.
Since the person has already arrived, we can't chase him out, so we can only follow the route we had agreed on.
Xiao Kong found the colleague who had just received the call, looked at Tong Jia's confession record, and was thinking about how to start the conversation when the policeman who said Tong Jia looked similar to others spoke.
He said, "Wow! This is such a coincidence. Among the relevant people we just asked this morning, there was a person named Rong Xinzhi, and now someone has come looking for Rong Xinzhi. The two look so similar, they must be sisters..."
"If you say so, then it is? We still have to follow the necessary procedures and regulations." Xiao Kong patted the brim of the man's hat and very proactively exchanged a few words with the policeman who had previously given Tong Jialu's confession.
The police officer politely said to Tong Jia, "Ms. Rong, we have something else to check with you. Please take a seat. We'll take up a moment of your time."
Tong Jia nodded and sat back in the chair she had sat in when she reported the case.
It is said to be verification, but in fact it is not only verifying her words, but also verifying Rong Xinzhi's confession.
Rong Xinzhi was worried that if she told the truth, she would expose the other people's true identities as bandits, so she just said that she was here to visit relatives. This was completely inconsistent with what Tong Jia said about her disappearance after being kidnapped in the mountain village.
Xiao Kong asked, "Ms. Rong, do you have a relative named Hu Huihuang?"
"Hu Huihuang? I have no impression of him. I've been married for several years now, and I don't remember much about some of my relatives from my mother's side.
Does this have anything to do with me looking for my sister?" Tong Jia pretended to think carefully before answering.
Xiao Kong said: "Originally it's not related, but the two confessions don't match, right?
You said that you and your sister got separated in a mountain village two or three days ago, but we received a call this morning. There was a person of interest in the call, a woman who looked similar to you and had the same name as your sister, Rong Xinzhi. She said that she was seeking refuge with relatives and took the initiative to look for Hu Liu, Hu Huihuang's mother.
One said his sister was missing, and the other said he took the initiative to seek refuge with relatives. Your testimonies don't match. Who lied?"
Tong Jia said, "I don't know what's going on. Can I see my sister? We can talk it over and see if I misunderstood or if she has something to hide."
Xiao Kong and the other patrolman looked at each other and both nodded.
Xiao Kong said, "Then let's go and bring them out in batches and provide them with a separate room to see if the Hu family is actually bandits or good people."
The reason they had to be brought out in batches was because there were too many people living in that yard.
A standard courtyard house was home to sixty or seventy people. They spent nearly four hours just questioning them.
This number is slightly different from the number counted by Tong Jia and Tao Junle last night. They counted nearly a hundred heads last night. Except for Hu Huihuang and Rong Xinzhi who lived in the same room, the others, including Hu Huihuang, lived in a room with fifteen or sixteen people. There were people on the beds, on the floor, and even in the corridor.
Of course, Tong Jia would not tell Xiao Kong the number of people right now. If she did, she would be admitting her guilt.
When Xiao Kong and others brought the three key people, Hu Huihuang, Hu Liushi and Rong Xinzhi, to the police station for questioning separately, Tong Jia met Rong Xinzhi.
Rong Xinzhi was taken to a small dark room alone and was very scared. When faced with repeated questions from the police, she answered tremblingly even when she told the truth.
Until the moment Tong Jia appeared, she seemed to have found her backbone, and she threw herself into Tong Jia's arms and burst into tears.
Since meeting Rong Xinzhi in Shanghai, Tong Jia's impression of her has changed several times.
She changed from being cute and obedient at the beginning to being deep-minded and calculating, then to being innocent with ambition written all over her face, then becoming arrogant and domineering after earning dividends, and then becoming a widow who was like a frightened bird and cried uncontrollably when something happened.
Every time there was a change, Tong Jia felt that it was really hard to judge whether this person had brains or not.
You could say she's smart, because she'll expose all her weaknesses to her opponent before she even knows his or her character.
You might say she's brainless, but whenever she's in a bad situation, she pretends to be a little white rabbit, making everyone think she's innocent and harmless.
But Tong Jia would not be fooled. She knew that Rong Xinzhi's crying was just an attempt to soften her heart and stop the policemen from asking any more questions.
So, Tong Jia patted Rong Xinzhi on the back and whispered to her, "Xiaozhi, this is not Shanghai. Your brother-in-law and I have only just arrived. We will meet at the police station. I came here to report the case and wanted them to help find you. And since something happened over there, we sisters can meet each other."
Your brother-in-law and I don’t have any acquaintances in the police station here, and we can’t talk to anyone.
Tell the truth to whatever the police ask you. The sooner you finish, the sooner we can go home."
After hearing Tong Jia's words, Rong Xinzhi cried even harder, and this time she really wanted to cry.
She could no longer remember what lies she had improvised in the morning in response to Hu Huihuang and Hu Liu's glances.
Especially when Tong Jia (Rong Xintong) appeared, her confession of seeking refuge with relatives was proven to be a lie.
Xiao Kong glanced at Tong Jia and said impatiently, "You two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. She's very emotional. Please comfort her first. When she calms down, I'll come over to ask questions."
Tong Jia waited for Xiao Kong to leave for a long time before she sat down and looked Rong Xinzhi in the eye. She stared into Rong Xinzhi's eyes and asked, "Xiaozhi, tell me honestly, is Hu Huihuang really a relative of our family? Why don't I have any memory of him at all?"
Also, how did you leave that cottage?
What happened in that mountain stronghold? How come it suddenly became empty? Not even a boat was left for us.
If we hadn't found a little girl hiding under the bed and hadn't led us over the mountains to the provincial capital, we might all be trapped to death in the mountain village now."
"I...I...wuwu...I don't know...wuwu..." Rong Xinzhi burst into tears again.
She couldn't explain these things. If Tong Jia knew that Hu Huihuang was the second in command among those bandits, and that she had voluntarily followed him out of the stronghold, and that she hadn't thought about the lives of Tong Jia and the others when she left, then Tong Jia would definitely ignore her if she encountered any problems in the future.
She really couldn't explain it, so she hoped that crying would soften Tong Jia's heart.
But this time Tong Jia wanted to get some accurate information from Hu Huihuang from her, so how could she let Rong Xinzhi fool her?
Rong Xinzhi, whose voice was almost hoarse from crying, saw that even though she was crying so miserably, Tong Jia remained unmoved. Even Tao Junle, who was sitting on the side waiting, looked at her with a hint of teasing.
She simply stopped crying and started to play the victim: "Sister, I'm not telling the truth, nor am I deliberately hiding it from you.
Hu Huihuang was the second in command of the mountain stronghold. He killed all the people in the stronghold, especially the maidservant beside her mother. When we were leaving, we pulled his ankle and he stabbed her with a bayonet, turning her into a bloody gourd.
I was really scared. I was worried that if I revealed his true identity, his men would come after me, you, and my brother-in-law to retaliate.
So, I followed their instructions and said they were relatives of our family, so that I could have an easier time in their hands...
Sister, you have no idea how many people and weapons they have. I couldn’t even sleep well these days around them.
Fortunately, you found me, big sister. If I had stayed with them for a long time, I would have been scared to death, wuwu..."
It seems that Rong Xinzhi has a good sense of judging the situation. At least she knows that it is not feasible to continue pretending to be a relative of Hu Huihuang in front of Tong Jia.
Since Rong Xinzhi has already confessed, although what he said is half true and half false, he has revealed the existence of the weapon.
Tong Jia took this opportunity to call Xiao Kong in. The confession would only count if Xiao Kong and the others were the ones to ask.
When Xiao Kong came in, Tong Jia took Tao Junle out.
When she went out, she happened to pass by Hu Liu. Because Tong Jia had sprinkled forgetfulness powder on Hu Liu, when Hu Liu passed by Tong Jia, she just felt that she looked very similar to Rong Xinzhi. Apart from that, she didn't remember anything else.
Tong Jia had a slight doubt in her heart. She had always thought that the forgetfulness powder would produce different forgetfulness reactions according to the degree of evil deeds done by the person. It stood to reason that Hu Liu had lived in the village for so many years and it was impossible that she had never done anything evil. But now it seemed that her reaction was the mildest.
It seems that her previous judgment on the effect of forgetfulness powder was wrong. In this case, she actually wanted to go back to the Yang family to take a look.
The two people who first enjoyed the forgotten fans should be in the Yang family now. I don’t know what the current situation of Yang Jiqiu and Yang’s eldest sister-in-law is.
She and Tao Junle sat in the police station's office playing with their fingers for about half an hour, and then Rong Xinzhi came out accompanied by Xiao Kong.
But when the two of them came out, their expressions were not very good.
Xiao Kong quietly pulled Tong Jia aside and whispered, "She said that there were more than a hundred people living in that yard, and that they had hidden a lot of weapons. But when I went to question her this morning, I even went to the kitchen and didn't see even a kitchen knife.
There are no cold weapons, let alone hot weapons.
If what she said is true, we'll have to get a search warrant and search the house.
Sister-in-law, do you think her words are credible? I'm afraid I'll apply for a search warrant and end up finding out she's just making it up. I'll be embarrassed in front of my superiors."
Rong Xinzhi's words were actually believable, but the things in the secret room had already been taken away by her, so whether she applied for a search warrant or not would not have much effect.
Tong Jia said, "Don't rush to apply for a search warrant. I'll ask her later.
My sister is different every day. I don’t know if what she says today is reliable.
Now that you've finished your questioning, what should we do? Should we let her go back with Hu Huihuang and the others, or with me?"
Xiao Kong pondered for about a minute and said, "Sister-in-law, the situation over there is still unclear. We don't know whether your sister is telling the truth or not. Your place will be a contact point for us in the future. Before we eliminate the unstable factors in her, I think it's better not to bring her back."
Tong Jia nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell her that I'll take her home after this case is concluded.
Please help confirm Rong Xinhua's whereabouts as soon as possible. Once it is confirmed, it is not certain which home she will return to."
This matter was related to whether they could successfully rebuild the organization in the provincial capital. Xiao Kong also attached great importance to it. After nodding solemnly in agreement, he sent Tong Jia and Tao Junle out.
