Chapter 21 Chaos and Farce
Xu Heng was stunned on the sofa, looking at the phone in his hand. His facial features were almost packed into a lump, filled with disgust and speechlessness.
You can't get along with a woman like Zhou Yanan.
She really doesn’t know what’s going on.
Last time he told me to run quickly, and this time he told me not to go out, but each time he didn't explain clearly what happened.
The **** Riddler!
Xu Heng immediately stood up and walked to the window to look out. Although the street was a little deserted, it was still normal. Some shops were already open for business.
Everything is calm.
I did not receive any early warning on my mobile phone, so I can be sure that it was not a solar pollution outbreak.
What else can happen?
He frowned and immediately called Zhou Yanan back with his cell phone.
“Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off...”
“Crack!”
Xu Heng pressed the hangup button hard and took a deep breath.
Good, very good.
I have learned this trick.
He sat back on the sofa, crackling his cell phone to send a message to Zhou Yanan.
“Team Zhou, something bad has happened, I @%&*#@%…”
Looking at the pile of garbled characters behind him, Xu Heng pressed the send button.
But when I thought that Zhou Yanan's cell phone was still turned off, I felt really unhappy, so she immediately sent Tang Hou the same text message.
There is no way, I can’t be the only one who is curious.
“Dingle bell…”
As soon as the text message was sent, the phone rang immediately. It was Tang Hou’s call.
“Hello!” Xu Heng answered the phone weakly
"Holy shit, Xu Heng, what are you doing? What happened?" Tang Hou's voice came from the phone.
"fine."
“Don’t be alright. Is it inconvenient for you to tell me that your senior sister is here? Let’s use code words, Hengsang, is the sun shining today?”
“No need for code words, my senior sister just left this morning, and I’m probably getting ready to go back to school.”
"Hey, Senior Sister You is ready to leave. Xu Heng, it's not that I'm unloyal, but I've been busy studying recently and haven't had time to see you. Isn't it a coincidence today? I just went out to go to school, and happened to pass by again. Downstairs at your house, I was just about to buy breakfast..."
"Tang Hou, you are a beast. You have to pass by my downstairs every day when you go to school. I sent you a message asking you to call me out. You pretended not to see me. Do you know how I spent this month at home?"
“Well, there’s no other way. Who told your senior sister to be at home? If I go to find you, I’ll definitely be beaten.
Don’t forget that when I went to your house three years ago, you stole her black silk stockings and wore them on her head to act like a gangster, but you were caught in the act. Why the **** did you say that I was the one who instigated this matter... Huh? "
On the phone, Tang Hou was angrily recounting the past, but suddenly he was surprised.
“What? Did you step on shit?” Xu Heng asked.
"No, what's going on at your door... Damn, something's wrong. Don't go out yet. I have to notify the inspection department immediately." Tang Hou said in shock.
"Huh? What's the situation? First tell me what's going on at my door?" Xu Heng asked hurriedly.
“There is an ambush at your door. Several strange faces are squatting near your house. Their eyes are very wrong and they keep looking at your door. I walk this road every day, and there is usually no one there. There must be something wrong with this group of people.”
Tang Hou spoke softer and quieter, as if he had found a place to hide and tell Xu Heng secretly.
Xu Heng immediately realized that something was wrong when he heard this.
Combined with Zhou Yanan's phone call just now, Tang Hou is definitely not talking nonsense, there is really someone squatting outside the door.
"Mr. Tang, the people from the Inspection Department called me this morning and are on their way to my house. Please tell me first, how many people are outside?"
Xu Heng looked solemn.
Senior sister just left early this morning, and someone immediately came to guard her. Zhou Yanan must have received some news, so she called anxiously to tell him not to go out.
But the Inspection Department is not far from the old house. It has been quite a while since Zhou Yanan hung up the phone. How come she hasn't arrived yet?
“About eight or nine people, and there are a few more that I’m not sure about...Hey, wait, one of them has just finished answering the phone and is gesturing to the others, as if he’s about to withdraw.”
As soon as Tang Hou said this, he suddenly exclaimed: "Damn it, Xu Heng, someone just climbed out of the window of your house. It was the window of your room. When did he get in?"
"What?"
Xu Heng stood up suddenly and rushed directly to the door.
With a bang, he kicked open the door, and there was no one inside.
But the window was open and the curtains were fluttering in the wind.
There were obvious signs of being disturbed in the room. The desk cabinet was only half closed and the closet door was still open.
But no one has lived in the house for a long time, and there is nothing of value, not even a few pieces of clothing.
What are they looking for?
"Xu Heng, how are you? Are you okay? The people from the Inspection Department are here. Let me wipe you. There is a very good-looking girl with huge long legs. She came to your house. Just wait, I will come right away." Tang After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
“Dong dong dong!”
The next moment, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Heng frowned and stepped forward.
As soon as the door opened, Zhou Yanan appeared at the door with a large group of people, her expression a little ugly.
"Is nothing wrong?" After Zhou Yanan saw Xu Heng, she breathed a sigh of relief and glanced around the room.
“What’s going on?” Xu Heng asked in a deep voice.
"There was an accident on the road just now. Someone tried to stop us, but it has been resolved. You follow me to the inspection department first, and we will talk as we walk."
Zhou Yanan said, leading the people to push back and make way for Xu Heng.
At this time, Tang Hou was also running over from across the road.
Before Xu Heng could speak, Zhou Yanan waved her hand and signaled her men to stop Tang Hou back.
"Don't let your friend get involved, otherwise he will get into trouble. I will send someone to inform him later that he will stay in the school these days and don't come out." Zhou Yanan explained as she walked. "What's going on? My senior sister just left this morning, and there are people who can't wait to take action against me?"
Xu Heng asked, and also sent a message to Tang Hou, reminding him to pay attention to his safety.
“This time it was from the Lin family. The murderer in Lin Cheng’s case had not yet been found, so the Lin family found some connections and got a copy of the investigation report of the case from the Inspection Department.”
"Then what?" Xu Heng frowned even more after hearing this. Why is this case not over yet?
"They think you are the murderer, and think that your senior sister used her connections to help you clear away the suspicion, so they have come here several times to cause trouble, and it suddenly stopped in the past two days, but this morning we got information that the Lin family is waiting Your senior sister leaves and then attacks you."
“Didn’t you show them the evidence?”
“They didn’t believe it. They said it was a forgery. Even the verification report of the surveillance video said it was fake. They also said that we were all bribed by your senior sister.”
When Zhou Yanan said this, she rolled her eyes, obviously feeling very unhappy.
Xu Heng was also a little dumbfounded. He remembered that the Lin Cheng family was considered a very wealthy family in Darong City. Why were they so unreasonable?
"Will your inspection department just let them make trouble like this? They even sent people to sneak into my house today and ransacked my room. I don't know what they wanted to do."
Xu Heng became a little angry when he said this. He was just suspected before and was violently taken away by Du Guowu.
Now that the Lin family is about to take action against him, the Inspection Department does not cause trouble for the Lin family. Instead, he just takes him there for protection.
“Don’t worry, I’ll explain this to you later, but for now you’d better go to the Inspection Department to stay for a few days, lest your senior sister makes the matter a big deal.”
"My senior sister? Didn't she leave early in the morning?" Xu Heng was startled.
"Are you sure that your senior sister has really left?" Zhou Yanan looked at Xu Heng helplessly.
"What do you mean?" Xu Heng was stunned. Didn't the senior sister leave?
At this time, they had turned the corner and came to the street where the inspection department was located.
Zhou Yanan was opening her mouth to continue explaining, but was suddenly interrupted by the sight in front of her.
The gate of the Inspection Department was actually crowded with people, making it extremely lively.
More than twenty people wearing white scarves and mourning clothes blocked the gate of the inspection department.
There were also people holding various banners with words such as "The Inspection Department is corrupt, perverts the law, despises human life, and shields murderers."
There were even several middle-aged and elderly women kneeling at the door, crying and howling.
This scene also attracted many passers-by to watch, so that the whole street became noisy.
“Did they make trouble like this before?” Xu Heng looked at Zhou Yanan in disbelief with a look of shock on his face.
How can the Inspection Department tolerate such a commotion?
“Not before.”
Zhou Yanan's face was livid, she gritted her teeth and shook her head, her eyes sternly sweeping towards her subordinates.
When the Lin family came to the Inspection Department to cause trouble before, it was just a few people arguing in the office, not such a big fight at all.
But today, when I just went to pick up Xu Heng for protection, the Lin family was already blocking the door and making such a big noise. It was clear that they had received the news in advance and were prepared.
"The murderer, he is the murderer of my son. Neighbors and neighbors, take a look. The people from the inspection department are so close to him, they must be in the same group!"
At this time, a middle-aged aunt suddenly stood up, pointed a finger at Xu Heng, and shouted in a harsh voice.
The eyes of everyone in the room immediately focused on Xu Heng.
The crowd suddenly became more noisy, and some people started pointing in Xu Heng's direction and talking in low voices.
“This young man looks quite young and has a good face. How could he kill someone?”
“Hey, this seems to be the son of the Xu family near my home. His father is Xu Hanshan. Do you still remember the wife-murderer back then?”
“No way, this young man is Xu Hanshan’s son?”
“That’s a bit serious, like father, like son.”
“Is it true what the Lin family said, that the Inspectorate actually covered up this kid’s murder because of that genius named Fu Yongqing?”
The discussion in the crowd became more and more intense.
It was obvious that someone was deliberately guiding everyone's first impression of Xu Heng to be that he was the son of a wife-murderer.
Coupled with Fu Yongqing's former reputation in Darong City, many ordinary people began to recognize this conspiracy theory from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that he was a genius who used his connections to protect the murderer.
“Murderer, you murderer, give back my son’s life.” At this time, the middle-aged aunt was already screaming and rushing towards Xu Heng.
Several members of the inspection department nearby immediately stepped forward to stop her.
"You are still protecting this murderer? Look, everyone, the inspection department is beating people. The inspection department is protecting the murderer and is beating people..."
The middle-aged aunt refused to give up, screaming and waving her hands and feet wildly, scratching the face of the inspection team member.
At this time, there were two middle-aged aunts behind, supporting a white-haired old lady, and hurried over.
“What are you doing? My good grandson was killed, and you don’t arrest the murderer, but you bully us ordinary people instead?
Come to me if you have the guts. My dear grandson is dead, and I don’t want to live anymore. You might as well kill me too. "
The old lady’s voice was sharper, even more powerful, and she didn’t look old at all.
She shouted while hitting the patrol team members with her cane.
Two other middle-aged aunts also stepped forward to help.
But they were not warriors, just ordinary people. Several members of the inspection department did not dare to fight back, so they could only stop them while raising their hands to protect their faces.
There were more than a dozen men from the Lin family wearing sackcloth and mourning in the rear. Not only did they not come forward to help, they started shouting at the back, "The inspection department is beating someone."
The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.
"Stop everyone, what do you Lin family want to do? You attack the members of the Inspection Department for no reason. Even if you are ordinary people, we have the right to arrest you!" Zhou Yanan shouted with annoyance.
But this did not act as a deterrent, and it also made several aunts and old ladies even more wanton.
“Arrest us, okay, come and arrest us.”
“As long as you arrest us, no one will say you are harboring the murderer.”
“What benefit has this little beast given you?”
