After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 2257: A Suspect





Ordinary families could not even afford meat, let alone raise cows. The lives of his family relied on these cows! Now that the cows had been poisoned to death, his family did not even have the will to live anymore!

Some time ago, the old man was stopped by a woman when he was on his way to Li Gui's restaurant. The woman said that she was in a hurry to move house and wanted to borrow the old man's three-wheeled vehicle for a few days. She gave him a deposit of 100 dollars and also promised to pay him rent of two dollars a day.

The old man had agreed to this woman's request at that time. If she rented the three-wheeled vehicle for five days, he would make 10 dollars! This was enough to buy three pounds of pork! Moreover, that lousy three-wheeled vehicle was not worth 100 dollars at all. It did not matter even if the woman did not return it to him.

Three days later, the woman returned with the three-wheeled vehicle. In order to get more money, the old man even claimed that the woman had damaged the vehicle and asked her for an additional 20 dollars for the repair fee. At that time, the woman did not hesitate at all, as if she wanted to get away from the old man as soon as possible. She had thrown the money at him and ran off.

"Is he telling the truth?" Qiao Mei asked.

"Yes, he is. The old man and his family have lived in that village for generations. There are many people who can vouch for him. During this period of time, he hasn't left the village and has been at home taking care of the sick cows," Xia Wen said.

"Does he still remember what that woman looked like?" Qiao Mei asked again.

"That woman had wrapped herself up very tightly. She wore a mask and her clothes were very simple. It's impossible to tell where she's from. She's about 30 to 40 years old and is quite tall," Xia Wen said.

The Xia family had offended countless people, but not Qiao Mei. After all, she had personally sent all the people who offended her to jail.

Two faces appeared in Qiao Mei's mind. One of them was Zhou Hua. However, Zhou Hua was not tall and she was older. She did not match the old man's description, so it was very likely that it was the other person...

"Has Tan Jing done anything recently?" Qiao Mei probed.

After all, Tan Jing and Xia Wen had been husband and wife before. Qiao Mei was worried that Xia Wen would be affected by this past relationship and feel awkward if he was the one handling this matter.

"It's fine. I know what you want to say. I've already checked on her right after the incident. She has an alibi for that period of time and many people in the Huang family have also vouched for her very definitively. It feels quite strange actually. We can't believe everything that the Huang family members say but we can't find any other evidence at the moment," Xia Wen said.

Although Huang Quan was already in jail, Tan Jing was not divorced from him yet. This matter had already received widespread attention in society and even the Xia family could not protect themselves, let alone a down and out family like the Huang family. They did not want to have to take responsibility for a large sum of medical fees at this time!

"Eldest Brother, if... if it's too weird for you, you can leave this matter to Yao Nian," Qiao Mei said.

"Don't think too much about it. I have my own family and my own kid now. The past is no longer important to me, but I just feel a sense of pity for her. When we got the divorce back then, I wanted to scare her for a few days and sent her to a mental hospital. Who would have thought that she would really become crazy now," Xia Wen lamented.

"It's not your fault. If there's anyone to blame, it's herself." Qiao Mei thought for a long time and asked, "Do you have any news of Qiao Yu?"

Xia Wen chuckled and said, "You're quite vigilant. You still remember to screen her." "Although the description doesn't match her age, she fits all the other criteria. She also has the motivation to do this," Qiao Mei said.

"But you didn't consider the fact that she doesn't have the brains to come up with this," Xia Wen said mockingly.

Qiao Mei did not deny it. If Qiao Yu was really smart, she would not have left the capital dejectedly back then, nor would she get herself pestered by a scumbag and be unable to escape, nor would she have intentionally provoked Qiao Mei.

"Is she doing well now?" Qiao Mei asked.

"How should I put it? Yao Nian's search for her ended near a mountain area. However, she's no longer the same person from before. We hear that she has become the leader of the human traffickers," Xia Wen said.

During the period when Qiao Yu lived in the capital, she had put on some weight. When she was in Foshan Village, she did not even have food to eat and was as skinny as a matchstick. Her figure had developed well after her stay in the capital and she could even be considered a young and beautiful girl. In the end, she was targeted by a group of human traffickers and kidnapped by them.

Qiao Mei already knew about this and originally thought that this was the end of Qiao Yu. She did not expect Qiao Yu to offer herself to the leader of the human traffickers and then build a good relationship with them. She worked together with this group of people to earn more money by setting up marriage scams.

"She probably has nothing to do with this matter. I'll get Yao Nian to continue keeping an eye on her. Give me some time and I'll go and investigate Tan Jing's background again. I also want to know if she's the culprit," Xia Wen said with a sigh.
