Chapter 160: Clock and the murderer?(1/2)

 The deaths of Granny Ge and her eldest son attracted a lot of criticism.

However, due to the cold weather, it would probably take a long time to report the matter to the county government. Apparently after talking to Mei Bei and his family, the village chief also realized that Mrs. Ge and the others might have died due to being targeted and robbed.

But after two days the matter was over.

In the end, even Mei Berry and his family were told by the village chief that it was the end of the year and it would be better to do less than to do more.

No matter how high-quality Mrs. Ge's family is, it is still not worth dying for.

Mayberry once again felt the fact that human life is insignificant in this era.

“As the village chief said, it is better to do less than to do more.

You see, something happened to Mrs. Ge. Her eldest daughter-in-law, apart from crying a few days ago, didn't she just pack up and run back to her parents' home years ago?

Even the funeral was organized by Uncle Erhe and the others.

Even if the people closest to you don't pursue the matter, it's useless no matter how much others think about it."

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Mei Mei helped her family put up the Spring Festival couplets, and then went to Mei You's house to see if her Spring Festival couplets were put up well.

Mei Sanma and his wife were working on it, and Mei You pulled Mei Bei aside to talk. Hearing that Mei Bei was quite concerned about this matter, she comforted her a few more words.

"Actually, I don't pity Mrs. Ge, but I feel that if there is a murderer and the murderer goes unpunished, it will eventually cause harm to others."

Mayberry was not so kind-hearted about Mrs. Gerard's death. She was just worried that the person who killed Mrs. Gurdung might try again.

"I don't know if Mrs. Ge has made any enemies or if the leakage of wealth is being targeted."

Mei Bei told Mei You about being ridiculed by Mrs. Ge in the town that day.

"If you say that, I remember that when I came back from the mountains a few days ago, I saw Granny Ge with a happy face and something very excited like she was holding something in her arms."

Meiyou went into the mountains a few days ago when the snow had not stopped completely. Meiyou knew about it that time, and Meiyou even sent two rabbit skins afterward.

I just didn't expect that Meiyou would bump into Mrs. Ge when she was going down the mountain.

"She didn't notice me. When she left, I followed the footprints on my way back. She seemed to have come back from the fields."

"The field? What is she doing in this snowy field?"

"I don't know, but I couldn't see what she was holding in her arms. Her face was excited, and she was muttering something like, 'Get rich.'

If, like you said, she suddenly became rich and died violently, then it is very possible that what I saw that night had something to do with it."

Mayberry:!!!

The system's clock-in sound suddenly sounded, and Mei Berry was extremely horrified!

When the system makes this sound, do you think she is stupid?

【Is this related to Old Man Mei?】

Mayberry got straight to the point and asked about the system.

It's a pity that the system doesn't speak, so Mayberry has to check in and explore on her own.

"Sister, is there anyone you suspect?"

Now that all the punch cards have come out, regardless of whether the system is alive or dead, Mei Berry can only start with Mei You.

The system notification sounds are like this, and it’s impossible for Mei You not to notice it.

"Well..." Mei You seemed a little embarrassed, "I took a special look to see Mrs. Ge's trace that day. I was worried that she would sneak into the fields and damage our fields in the snow, so I took a look."

"What did you see?"

"Next to Uncle Erhe's land, a big hole was dug in the land next to the old house."

"I'll go! That's..."

In the flash of lightning, Mei Berry suddenly remembered what Mei You had told her before, and what Mei Berry had seen before.

Her father often went to the fields at different times than others, and the soil and water in the land next to Ge Erhe's house were not good, but when the family was separated, Old Man Mei stayed.

Even old Mei used her uncle as an excuse to suddenly have extra money...

"Is it possible that some treasure is buried in that field?"

Mei Mei asked. Mei Mei nodded and said, "Although the dug pit was empty, I checked later and found that there were other things in the field."

Mei You took advantage of the darkness to take two objects, and then left directly following the traces made by Mrs. Ge.

"I went to the field again the next morning, only to find that the hole, including the one I dug later, had been filled in again... Apparently someone went there again later."

Hearing Meiyou say this, some kind of guess gradually formed in Meiyou's mind.

Just as she was about to say a few words to Mei Youduo, Mei Sanma and Miao had already packed up the house and came out to greet the two children standing at the edge of the yard.

"It's getting late, let's go to the old house."

You don’t have to go to the old house during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it would be bad if you don’t go there for dinner this year.

After hearing the sound, Mei Bei and Mei You followed. When they arrived at the door of their house, Mei Bei also called out to her parents, and the six of them went to the old house together.

This time there were almost the same people in the old house as there were during the Dragon Boat Festival, except that there was an extra Mei Lian.

But I don’t know if it was my imagination, but the atmosphere in the old house was much more harmonious today.

Mei Dahu was chatting with Mei Youqian and others while leaning on a cane. He was less gloomy than the previous days. He spoke with full energy and held his head high, as if he had gained some confidence.

But Mei Youqian still noticed the hint of condescension in his tone.

However, it was the Chinese New Year, and Mei Youqian didn't criticize the other person very much when he saw him. He was like this, so Mei Youqian just treated him as a man of moral integrity, and was too lazy to argue with him on the last day of the old year.

Auntie Jiang was busy cooking and cooking today, and she was not as picky as before when she looked at people and spoke.

However, the excitement and joy that occasionally showed up in her eyes today showed that she was in a good mood, so she made her look kinder.

Otherwise, Mei Berry really thought Jiang had changed his gender!

"Sister-in-law, are there any happy events at home recently?"

Wei Meili, who was chopping vegetables, couldn't bear to hear her singing a country tune because she was in a good mood, so she simply interrupted her entertainment.

"No~ you are thinking too much."

Although Jiang really wanted to share her happiness, when she thought of Mei Dahu's instructions and the fact that the relationship between the two sisters-in-law in front of her was not that good, she simply rolled her eyes and denied it.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, even if I'm happy... it's probably because on New Year's Eve, everyone can have meat on the table!"

After Jiang said, even Miao, who was washing vegetables, couldn't help but look up at Jiang.

Can her sister-in-law say this?

If she were to say that she was eating meat alone, would she be able to smile like this and be happy that everyone could eat meat at the table?

It's fine if she's not sour.

Regarding Jiang's refusal to tell the truth, Miao and Wei Meili looked at each other and tacitly agreed not to ask.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with them anyway.

Mei Mei and Mei You haven't been to the old house for several months.

They neither approached the kitchen to help, nor did they approach Mei Youqian to chat.

The two of them stood under the eaves of the corridor, staring up at the frozen ice in a daze, when they suddenly heard a voice coming from behind them.

Turning around to look, Mei Berry found that they were actually standing at the door of Mei Lian's room.

This place used to be the place where Mei Berry's family lived, but now Mei Lian is actually assigned to live alone. It's really true - they are both Mei family girls, but they have different fates.

Mei Lian invited the two of them into the house.

Mei Bei was quite surprised. After all the trouble between them some time ago, Mei Lian could still calmly invite them to sit in the house.

Mei Mei and Mei You didn't refuse. As soon as they entered the house, they saw the unfinished embroidery work in the bamboo basket on the small table of Mei Lian Kang.

Mei Bei took a closer look and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

The kind of female red embroidery that can only be seen in TV dramas suddenly appeared in front of Mei Berry's eyes, and Mei Berry was really amazed.

She and her mother traveled here and after a few months of struggling, she was able to sew clothes.

It would be absolutely impossible to embroider some patterns on it.

Although Mei Lian has some problems with her character, her craftsmanship is really impressive.

Looking at the lifelike green bamboo embroidered in the other person's hand, Mei Berry couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so beautiful, isn't it, sister?"

"Hmm! (Where~)"

Suddenly, two different responses sounded in the room.

Mei Lian and Mei You looked up at each other, and then their eyes fell on Mei Berry, the "culprit".

Mayberry:0.0!

What kind of Shura field is this?
