Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 707 Investigation Clear

Wang Shu was dumbfounded, "Could it be Huang Zhiqing?"

He reassured himself that it couldn’t be, just an unpopular young girl—how could she possibly kill five men?

But why was his heart pounding? This was really not a good sign.

"Did you go to the hospital to ask? Did Huang Zhiqing go for a checkup?"

"We went, and they said a girl did go for a checkup, and then she asked the doctor to prescribe medicine."

"So, she didn’t get admitted to the hospital then?"

"Yes."

"You say she’s unfamiliar with the area, where could she have gone? No, I have to go to the Zhiqing office tomorrow, could something have happened?"

"Anyway, things in the county are quite strict; I heard a neighbor saw a female comrade entering and exiting that courtyard."

"What’s all this trouble? Really worrisome." Wang Shu felt they’d drive him to his grave sooner or later.

"Village Chief, today we came back on Li Family Village’s tractor; they went to the county, the city to sell cabbage. With so many people, it must’ve been a truckload."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu felt a toothache. Originally, Li Yungui was the least noticed village chief, but quietly he bought a tractor, a rotary tiller, a sowing machine. He made a lot of money from his village.

Now they had profitable ventures, but even if he envied, it couldn’t be done. From the village to the county, to the city, it was too far; even good items couldn’t be transported.

Wang Shu sighed, nothing was going smoothly.

This tractor must be bought, the rotary tiller and sowing machine must be bought.

Wang Shu gritted his teeth, if necessary, let everyone pool funds. This was for everyone.

Wang Shu made up his mind, he’d collect funds from each household after the autumn harvest.

After figuring it out, he felt a bit better. Tomorrow, he’d have to go to the county, really their turn.

Xing Xiangzhang said there would be more Zhiqing by the end of the year; even if criticized, they definitely wouldn’t accept another this time, couldn’t stand the anger.

The next day, the village’s ox cart took Wang Shu to the township, then he took a ride to the county.

He went directly to the Zhiqing office. Today’s duty staff was still Lantian.

Since she arrived here, she discovered she was pregnant; at that time, she didn’t want the child, but the fierce look in a certain person’s eyes reappeared in her mind, making her tremble with fear.

However, the reputation of being pregnant was unpleasant. People in the village looked at her with peculiar eyes.

In the end, she kept the child. She had money, over two thousand yuan, so she took a gamble, directly giving 1,000 yuan to the head of the Zhiqing office, Director Tang accepted the money satisfied, and transferred her to the county Zhiqing office as a clerk.

Therefore, she felt a bit sympathetic towards the incoming female Zhiqing.

But upon hearing the village chief’s account of Huang Ying’s situation, Lantian frowned, "Village Chief Wang, this should still be reported to the police. There’s a record of her coming here. She’s only been here once."

Wang Shu looked at the date; it was the day before Huang Zhiqing took leave to go to the hospital.

"Village Chief Wang, I’ll register here and immediately report it above, find the contact for Huang Ying Zhiqing, they’ll investigate.

But you should still report to the police, shouldn’t you? After all, she has been missing for many days."

"Alright, comrade, I’m reporting to the police now." Wang Shu already knew in his heart this wasn’t good news, he felt inflamed.

But it was indeed a living person missing, still a young girl, truly their problem.

Wang Shu went to the police station and explained the situation. They took this matter very seriously.

"Fellow townsman, the timing of this female comrade’s visit coincides with the timing of a case. Go back and wait for news. We’ll do our best."

The policeman who received Wang Shu immediately reported this situation; they sent someone to the Zhiqing office to retrieve Huang Ying’s file.

"Comrade police, we’ve already called Huang Ying’s hometown from the Zhiqing office, they’ve investigated too, I’ll inform you once there’s news."

"Okay, thank you for cooperating with us."

"It’s my duty."

Lantian felt it must be Huang Ying, just a gut feeling.

The police comrade took Huang Ying’s file, fortunately, it had a photo.

He handed the file over to colleagues dealing with the murder case.

Here, they immediately summoned the neighbor from the scene.

"Yes, it’s this female comrade, it’s her."

"How can you be sure?"

"Because I’ve seen her twice. The first time, the man from that house brought her inside at noon, the second time was the next day at noon when she came by herself.

We met by chance both times; now thinking back, she seemed evasive when I met her the second time."

"Alright, thank you for your cooperation. We’ll contact you if needed."

Now the case had a breakthrough. At least the suspect was identified.

But where did that woman go? Disappeared without a trace. The police took Huang Ying’s photo to the train station. But after checking around, no ticket seller or crew member had an impression.

"Comrade, actually at this time, sneaking onto trains was quite common."

Now it was practically like finding a needle in a haystack. They reported to the municipal bureau, just waited now.

However, they did visit Jin Family Village, informing them the female Zhiqing from their village, Huang Ying, was a murderer.

This stirred the village. The common folks had never heard of such things? When Wang Shu called everyone when the police comrades arrived, he informed all villagers and Zhiqing that they must attend.

Once the police announced the result, hundreds of villagers went silent below, stunned.

They all wondered if they had ever wronged Huang Zhiqing before. After thinking for a while, everyone was relieved they hadn’t wronged this murderous devil.

However, several Zhiqing looked troubled; they had indeed wronged Huang Ying, a few were terrified.

"Everyone, don’t panic; though the criminal Huang Ying has likely escaped, even if she really was here, there’s no need to fear. After all, we have strength in numbers."

But everyone disagreed—how could she, a female comrade, kill five people at the same time?

The police gave another lecture to everyone and then left.

But the villagers didn’t leave, all eyes stayed on the village chief.

"Everyone, there’s no need to fear, it’s fine, Huang Ying must’ve escaped, she wouldn’t dare return."

"Village Chief, is this true?"

Wang Shu thought, how would he know? But he reassured everyone, "Whether it’s true or not I don’t know, but surely if we were criminals, we’d escape, right? No one stays waiting to be caught."

Everyone pondered and agreed with this logic, gradually dispersing.

Old Yang supported Zhao Xiaoli, who was frightened, her face devoid of color.

"It’s fine, she’s long gone."

"Really?"

"Yes, someone saw her go to the train station, but it’s unclear where exactly, no need to worry, I’m here."
