Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 155: The Killer

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: The Killer
The police questioned Lin Xiang with many questions, and Lin Xiang answered all of them one by one.
"Comrade Lin Xiang, as the last person to see Comrade Huang Jiayun, you are obligated to cooperate with our investigation. During this time, do not leave Mianyang Town, as we may need to summon you at any time."
Lin Xiang understood the procedure and had no objections. More than being summoned at any time, she wanted to know who was so ruthless to harm Huang Jiayun.
Such a good young girl, she had escorted her mother and brother onto the train back home and had excitedly told her that she was finally free from her original family and could get along well with Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu...
Lin Xiang suddenly thought of this person and said to the police, "Huang, the Smartie doesn’t have many close friends at the educated youth point. However, I heard she is quite close to Zhu Zhu, the son of Zhu the carpenter from our Li Hua Team. The two might be in a romantic relationship."
"Alright. We will investigate based on the clues you provided."
The police then went to find the team leader and others to understand the situation.
The team leader was very busy, not only responding to the police but also dealing with the educated youth office’s inquiry.
An educated youth being murdered is big news anywhere. Not to mention the team leader, even the educated youth office was in a panic at this moment.
Lin Xiang didn’t know how she got back to Fifth Aunt’s house.
Once she returned, she locked herself in the room.
She took off her coat, shoes, and socks and lay on the bed. Despite having a thick quilt wrapped around her, Lin Xiang still felt very cold.
Last night, while she was trying every means to keep warm, Huang Jiayun lay alone on a rough and cold ground, with a knife stuck in her abdomen. Blood oozing from the wound, she was in pain and cold. How did she endure that night?
Thinking of Huang Jiayun, who not long ago had shared her joy of gaining freedom with a spirited face, Lin Xiang couldn’t stop crying.
This girl, who suffered so much unfair treatment, had the courage to cut ties with her original family.
She was about to have a new life, date a comrade she liked, and have a family-in-law that treated her well.
But why did fate have to play tricks, taking away her life just when she was about to touch happiness?
The tears quickly soaked the pillow.
Lin Xiang was now more certain that the world in this book was actually an independent space-time.
Huang Jiayun was not a soulless paper character; she had self-awareness, and she was a living person with her own thoughts and pursuits, wasn’t she?
Outside the room, the Lin Family members looked at each other.
"What’s wrong with Sister Niu?"
"Maybe Huang, the Smartie, didn’t make it?" Dong Sheng, speaking without a filter, said, "When we saw her, there was so much blood..."
"Phooey, phooey, phooey!" Fifth Aunt pulled Dong Sheng, "Come, spit with me, phooey, phooey, phooey!"
"Phooey, phooey, phooey!" Dong Sheng followed suit and spat a few times, then didn’t dare mention Huang Jiayun again. He just looked worriedly at Lin Xiang’s room, "I’ve never seen Sister Niu like this."
In his impression, Lin Xiang was always full of energy. Although sometimes she had a temper, it was only when someone bullied her directly, and she would vent her anger immediately. But otherwise, Lin Xiang was a good-tempered big sister.
Moreover, she was knowledgeable, aware of many new things that others didn’t know.
But the Lin Xiang from just now seemed desolate, empty, like a puppet doll without emotions.
Dong Sheng was very concerned about her situation.
But he also knew that what Lin Xiang needed most now was a quiet space. He couldn’t go into the room to disturb her.
"Bang bang bang—" Someone was pounding hard on the gate in the yard, "Open the door!"
Fifth Uncle stood up, "I’ll go take a look."
He opened the door and saw Zhu Zhu with bloodshot eyes. His face still had traces of dried tears. "Uncle Lin, is Sister Niu home? I need to talk to her."
"Sister Niu isn’t back yet. If you have something to say, just say it here." Seeing Zhu Zhu like this, Fifth Uncle was worried he might harm Lin Xiang, so he lied.
But Zhu Zhu just sat down at the doorway, not caring about the muddy floor, "Then I’ll sit here and wait for her to come back."
Fifth Uncle bent over, firmly pulling him up, "Zhu Zhu, if you have something to say, just say it straight. Sitting at my door, what’s that about? You should go back first. When Sister Niu returns, I’ll tell her."
Zhu Zhu shook his head, "I’m not leaving. I want her to take me to the police station. I know what happened to Yunyun."
Fifth Uncle didn’t expect a human life to be involved and had to go inside to find Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang furrowed her brows, "If he knows what happened to Huang, the Smartie, why not go straight to the police station? Why insist on finding me?"
"Should I refuse him first?"
Lin Xiang shook her head and forced herself to sit up, "This is a serious matter. We can’t miss any clue. Fifth Uncle, let Zhu Zhu come in; otherwise, with people coming and going outside, it might not look good if someone sees."
Zhu Zhu entered the main room and said to Lin Xiang, "There are some things I can only tell you."
"No." Fifth Uncle refused without a second thought, "My family’s Sister Niu is still a young lady. How can we let you two be alone? If people start talking, how will my family’s Sister Niu get married?"
Fifth Uncle was actually worried that Zhu Zhu’s request to be alone with Lin Xiang was not good for Lin Xiang.
Zhu Zhu had no choice but to compromise, requesting only Fifth Uncle to be present.
Fifth Aunt and Mrs. Lin took Chunya and Dong Sheng to the yard.
In the main room, Lin Xiang went straight to the point, "Since you know who harmed Huang, the Smartie, why not go directly to the police and insist on me taking you?"
Zhu Zhu lowered his head, speaking in a muffled voice, "I know who, but I have no evidence. I’m afraid if I go, the police won’t believe me. You know the big leaders in town; they will surely believe you. Also..."
Zhu Zhu paused, looked up at Lin Xiang, and there was a complex emotion in his eyes that Lin Xiang couldn’t understand, "You also know that person."
Lin Xiang knew that it wasn’t just about knowing them. It was likely someone related by blood.
"Who is it?"
"Yu Yuan, your eldest cousin."
Lin Xiang’s heart skipped a beat, "Do you have any evidence for saying this?"
Zhu Zhu’s eyes were red, "He had long coveted Yunyun. He had mentioned dating to Yunyun, but she never agreed. Recently, he had someone he was interested in, and everything was going well. It even got to the point of discussing marriage, but suddenly the girl demanded a new house before talking about marriage."
"Coincidentally, before that, Yunyun and I went to the girl’s house to deliver furniture. Since the two girls got along well, they chatted more. Somehow, Yu Yuan found out about it; he assumed that the girl was unwilling to get engaged to him because Yunyun instigated her, so he held a grudge against Yunyun."
It was indeed something Yu Yuan could do. That family, except for Yu Fang who could barely be salvaged, the rest were rotten to the core.
