Chapter 345 Hexagram 8!
Chapter 345 Gossip!
"Qiuyu! I went to your house yesterday to look for you, but you were not there. People in your courtyard said that you went to your brother-in-law's house. Is this true?"
At around seven o'clock on Monday morning, Lin Qiuyu took the bus to school. When she was about to enter the campus, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her.
Lin Qiuyu heard the shouting from behind and subconsciously stopped. When she saw the owner of the voice, she thought of the days she spent at Jia Dongming's house this weekend and happily introduced her to him, "Wenfang! My brother-in-law has a TV, so on Saturday, I went to watch TV at my brother-in-law's house."
"TV! Is it the kind of device that can be used to watch movies in Wangfujing Department Store?" When Wenfang heard Lin Qiuyue mention the TV, she remembered the TV she saw when she went shopping with her parents in Wangfujing Department Store not long ago, and she hurriedly asked Lin Qiuyu curiously.
When Lin Qiuyu learned that Wenfang actually knew the function of a television, she was surprised. Thinking of the days she had spent at her brother-in-law's house, she was looking forward to the next day off coming soon. She replied eagerly, "Wenfang! You're right. It's the kind of appliance that can be used to watch movies and Peking opera."
"Qiuyu! What does your brother-in-law do? How come there is a TV in your brother-in-law's house?" When Wenfang heard Lin Qiuyu's answer, an incredible expression appeared on her face, and she hurriedly asked Lin Qiuyu.
When Lin Qiuyu heard Wenfang's question and saw her best friend's surprised expression, she didn't think much about it and introduced her to Wenfang: "Wenfang! My brother-in-law is the head of the security department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He also works part-time as the deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau."
"Not long ago, my brother-in-law solved a big case, and the Public Security Bureau rewarded him with a TV receipt. He took the receipt and bought the TV at Wangfujing Department Store. If it weren't for my home being too far away, I would have wanted to go to my brother-in-law's house every night to watch TV."
When Lin Qiuyu said this, she thought of the room that Jia Dongming had specially arranged for her. She smiled happily and said to Wenfang, "Wenfang! I have a separate room at my brother-in-law's house. From now on, I will stay at my brother-in-law's house for two days on weekends, and I can also watch TV at my brother-in-law's house."
When Wenfang heard Lin Qiuyu's introduction, she thought of what the salesperson at the TV counter in the department store had said. She asked Lin Qiuyu with a curious look on her face, "Qiuyu! What movies are played on the TV every day? Can I watch it from morning to night?"
When Lin Qiuyu heard Wenfang's words and thought about the TV's broadcast time, she replied with a depressed look on her face: "Wenfang! The TV can only be broadcast from 6pm to 9pm. The TV station does not broadcast programs at other times."
When Wenfang heard Lin Qiuyu's introduction, she immediately showed envy when she thought about how Lin Qiuyu could go to her brother-in-law's house to watch TV every week. She murmured to herself, "Why doesn't my brother-in-law's house have a TV? If there was, I could go to my brother-in-law's house to watch TV every week like you."
When Lin Qiuyu heard Wenfang's words and saw her envious expression, she smiled and said to Wenfang, "Wenfang! We are good friends. My sister is your sister. If you want to watch TV, I will take you to my sister's house on the weekend this week to watch TV. You can sleep with me then."
When Wenfang heard Lin Qiuyue's words, she immediately showed an ecstatic expression on her face, and hurriedly asked Lin Qiuyu: "Qiuyu! Are you serious? Can I really go to Sister Qiuyue's house with you to watch TV?" Lin Qiuyu heard Wenfang's question and saw Wenfang's ecstatic expression. She nodded very affirmatively and replied with a smile: "Of course it's true, but I need my uncle and aunt's consent."
When Wenfang heard Lin Qiuyu's words, she said to him excitedly, "Qiuyu! Don't worry, I just need to tell my parents that I'm going to stay at your house for one night, and they will definitely agree to let me stay at your house."
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Qin Huairu arrived at the logistics warehouse office on time. As soon as she entered the office, she heard a burst of sighing and discussion in the office, so she asked everyone in the office curiously: "Sister Mei! Sister Li! What were you talking about just now? Why were you talking so enthusiastically?"
When Sister Mei heard Qin Huairu's question, she was visibly stunned. Then she turned around and saw Qin Huairu walking into the office from outside. She smiled and said to everyone, "It's said that if you mention the devil, he will appear! It's really true."
When Qin Huairu heard Sister Mei's words, she showed a puzzled expression on her face and asked Sister Mei curiously, "Sister Mei! What do you mean by speaking of the devil?"
When Sister Li heard Qin Huairu's question and saw her puzzled expression, she thought of the topic they were discussing just now and asked Qin Huairu: "Huairu! I heard from the Propaganda Department that Cui Hao's lover was killed the day before yesterday afternoon and was also raped by the murderer? Is this true?"
When Qin Huairu heard Sister Li asking about the rape and murder case of Cui Haozhong, she finally understood why these people said those things when they saw her.
Qin Huairu saw the curious expressions on everyone's faces, and thinking of what Jia Dongming had told her, she nodded instinctively and answered, "Sister Mei! Sister Li! Cui Hao also lives in Tongluoguxiang. I did hear from my uncle that he was murdered. The murderer was caught that night, and he will probably be sent to the suburbs to be executed in a few days."
Everyone was very depressed when they saw Qin Huairu only said that Cui Hao's wife was killed, but did not mention the truth that the deceased was raped and murdered. Sister Mei could not wait to whisper to Qin Huairu: "Huairu! We heard that Cui Hao's wife was raped by the murderer before she died. Is this rumor true?"
When Qin Huairu heard Sister Mei asking about Cui Hao's wife being raped and murdered, she felt very embarrassed when she saw everyone's gossiping expressions. She started to persuade Sister Mei and the others, "Sister Mei! Sister Li! Ladies and gentlemen, Cui Hao's wife is dead. As for how she died, why do you have to dwell on this question? After all, the dead are the greatest."
Although Qin Huairu did not directly respond to Sister Mei's question, everyone understood what Qin Huairu meant. Sister Mei immediately agreed and said, "Huairu is right. Death is the greatest thing. We really shouldn't discuss this matter behind her back."
