Quick Transmigration: Leisure
Chapter 148 The Festive Widow in Historical Fiction 19
"Ah! Someone's dead!!"
Screams pierced the sky, and panic spread with the surging crowd.
Xia Youmi, who was in the school office, nearly spilled the ink because her hand trembled. She exchanged a serious glance with Lü Zhu, who was looking through documents beside her.
"What's wrong."
"Go and see."
The two walked hand in hand toward the crowd, but the further they walked, the more they felt something was wrong. This was clearly the well where Teacher Gu had the accident.
After Teacher Gu's murder, the well was drained, and there are some fences and signs prohibiting people from approaching it.
It can change over time.
The place has gradually become overgrown with weeds due to neglect, and students occasionally come here for "adventures".
Simultaneously,
With the continuous spring rain, the well has once again filled with murky water.
Today, the body was discovered by students who were playing around.
She was completely naked, very fair-skinned, and not yet swollen.
At first, the discoverers laughed it off, thinking it was a prank, deliberately throwing some fake specimens down to add to the eerie atmosphere.
Until the water plants covering her face were pushed aside, someone recognized her.
Yes—Hu Xiaodan.
When Xia Youmi arrived, the police had already secured the area. She only caught a fleeting glimpse of her face before it was covered by a white sheet.
The Tao family members arrived quickly, their expressions varied, but all wore expressions of sorrow.
Especially when Grandma Tao held Hu Xiaodan's still bewildered eldest son, her cries were deafening. This stirred up Tao Guo'er's second child, Tao Tianbao, who was also in her arms, and he joined in the mourning for his mother.
Tao Xiangcai looked numb, his unwillingness to admit the truth prevailing. He desperately tried to block everyone's gaze from Hu Xiaodan.
He even covered the exposed, pale and bluish section of his lower leg with his clothes. He looked around, as if searching for something.
Old Tao was nowhere to be seen, but his eldest son's wife was sent over.
Xia Youmi lowered her head and remained silent.
The system's screen captured everyone's expressions, and she wanted to know if the murderer was at the scene and who was so audacious.
Moreover, the perpetrator is very likely the same person who murdered Teacher Gu back then.
Perhaps, at this point, people have not yet definitively linked the two victims together.
However, Xia Youmi is also quite experienced in solving cases.
Recalling the similarities between Teacher Gu's deceased appearance and Hu Xiaodan's, both of them had marks left from having their mouths bound.
Therefore, it is highly likely that their hands and feet will be bound, their head will be roughly tied, especially around their mouth, and then they will be pushed down to drown.
People who do this kind of thing feel no fear or remorse.
They revel in the victims' helpless struggles, desperate cries for help, and utter despair. And their location is so conspicuous, yet they show no fear of being discovered.
This suggests that their actions also carried a warning.
But why target Hu Xiaodan? Although she wasn't popular, she hadn't offended anyone in particular.
To name someone who is generally considered to have a conflict with her.
That's Xia Youmi herself!
Moreover, recently, the conflict has shown signs of escalating.
If we're talking about who was behind all of this, we have to trace it back to the third brother delivering fish. No, it started when Tao Pu skipped a grade. Around the same time, something else happened to Hu Xiaodan.
Erwa is going to be given to Tao Laoda.
This matter was clearly common knowledge, but it was quickly overshadowed by new trending topics.
If not for a deeper truth that Xia Youmi is unaware of.
The most suspicious people are the Tao family.
"Comrade Xia, please cooperate with our investigation." Soon, the police found Xia Youmi. According to the public, Xia Youmi had recently had an argument with Hu Xiaodan.
At this point, it doesn't matter who caused trouble for whom; the deceased is the most important person.
Moreover, she was so humiliated and died in a vengeful manner that everyone began to sympathize with this poor girl.
Xia Youmi cooperated and followed the police officers' steps.
Aunt Kang's figure stood out in the crowd.
She had a worried look on her face, while Lü Zhu was explaining Xia Youmi's movements at school, as well as her position and achievements.
I hope the other party will be treated well.
Her case is not an isolated incident. Hu Xiaodan's relatives, witnesses, witnesses, and those suspected of having conflicts were all taken away.
However, after the forensic doctor determined the time of death, coupled with Xia Youmi's self-defense and Teacher Li Xing's testimony, and after Aunt Kang and several senior students who had fought with Tao Pu were summoned, her suspicion was cleared.
Hu Xiaodan died last night.
Professor Li Xing was at her home, and his testimony was very compelling.
Although a series of footprints were found running from her door to the well, they were just typical rubber shoe prints.
In addition, there was a series of footprints on Xia Youmi's shoes that led to Aunt Kang's house, and the soil matched.
The evidence is airtight and there is no way to break it.
The first people who went to her house to search have already returned with the results.
It definitely matches perfectly.
When Xia Youmi was released, there were several comrades who were on their way to check on the Tao family. They parted ways at the Tao family's gate and said goodbye to each other.
Then, we witnessed a scene that came close to the truth.
"Sir, there's a letter I'd like you to take a look at." Old Tao, dressed neatly with a medal pinned to his clothes, solemnly handed a document to the leader.
The junior police officers following them couldn't see it.
However, with the help of the system, Xia Youmi, who was passing by, saw it.
"Understood! Sorry to bother you, please cooperate by providing any clues you may have."
"Ok."
Then, amidst the gasps of the onlookers, the car drove away.
Not a single tree or blade of grass belonging to the Tao family was touched.
This is incredible; everyone is wondering if the Tao family is some kind of mysterious national organization that commands such respect.
I trusted them completely after just looking at one document.
When Xia Youmi arrived home, Tao Pu was waiting behind the door.
"You didn't go to school today." Xia Youmi was a little tired after spending the night in the detention center. She didn't expect that Tao Pu, who was always law-abiding, would not go to school.
"Wait for you, the food is ready." He brought out a basin of warm water for her to wash her hands, and then brought out the heated food, without mentioning anything about what had happened before.
"I am fine."
“I know, Teacher Li went to testify for you. Besides, how could you possibly do such a thing?” Tao Pu probably didn’t understand the human nature involved.
He simply believed that our sister wasn't a bad person.
"Okay, from now on, stay away from the Tao family," Xia Youmi instructed. She didn't want this boy to benefit from their influence, nor did she want to invite trouble upon himself.
The letter wasn't very specific, but it earnestly stated that the Tao family were heroes of the people and that their family should not be publicized, lest it invite retaliation.
The Tao family needs to receive the highest level of protection.
There are layers of seals on it, along with the words "Top Secret".
The article did not reveal their specific contributions, but Xia Youmi noticed the date at the end.
1952.
That year, something happened nearby that could be called a people's hero's deed.
The only thing that caused a nationwide sensation was the suppression of bandits.
A unique history has shaped a different situation.
In the past, this place was rife with bandits.
It is through the hard work of many people who conquered one mountain after another that peace and tranquility were achieved.
Some records mention that the destruction of many large villages was due to the efforts of undercover agents.
This group of people is often the target of revenge by roaming bandits.
They are under a high level of protection.
Act with discretion.
