South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Yuan Mu did not choose to go back that day, but chose to stay for a day, because he had long wanted to visit Shenzhen of this era.

He was also thinking about doing some business. Although he didn't have the time, maybe he could find someone to cooperate with in the future. It wouldn't hurt to do some research first.

Moreover, he has a lot of things in his space, and since he is in Shenzhen, he might as well sell them all.

The most valuable ones are the two large ginsengs, but he has to keep one, in case it comes in handy in the future.

The rest were all found on the mountain outside the prison, including various furs, herbs and the like.

In the end, the odds and ends were sold for quite a bit, totaling several hundred yuan, which was a considerable sum of money in that era.

It seems that I have to go to the mountains when I have time. There are many good things in the mountains in this era. The most important thing is that there is no hunting ban now, and the resources in the mountains are abundant. I will wait for an opportunity and see when I can have a long vacation and go there.

The next day, Yuan Mu, Ming Yu and Li Minghua boarded the train back to Ningyang, which was another three days and two nights of travel.

Yuan Mu returned home that night. He was so tired during this period that he felt listless and just wanted to have a good sleep.

As soon as I entered the compound, I saw Niu Dali and Yao Yuling talking there.

"Da Li, Xiao Yao, what are you doing?"

Yuan Mu's voice startled the two of them, and they only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was Yuan Mu.

"Oh my god, Brother Yuan, you scared me." Niu Dali touched his chest with lingering fear.

"Brother Yuan, what have you been doing recently? I can't see you at all." Yao Yuling's standard coquettish voice came out again, giving Yuan Mu goose bumps.

"I'm busy. I'm just taking a break from my busy schedule. Okay, you guys continue chatting. I have to go home." Yuan Mu waved his hand and pushed his bicycle towards home.

"Hey." Yao Yuling wanted to talk to Yuan Mu, but Yuan Mu didn't give her the chance and went home directly.

Yao Yuling could only look at Yuan Mu's back and pout. In fact, she liked Yuan Mu very much. He was mature and charming, handsome, had a good job, had a house, and there would be no mother-in-law relationship if she married him. He was a good choice.

But after Yao Yuling tried several times, Yuan Mu had no interest in her at all, so she gradually shifted her focus to Wang Xin.

Although Wang Xin is not as mature and charming as Yuan Mu, he is young and handsome, and has a good job. The only problem is that if he gets married, he will have to live with his father-in-law, and might feel a little uncomfortable without a mother-in-law.

"Yao'er! Yao'er!" At this time, Yao Yuling heard Niu Dali calling her and suddenly came back to her senses.

"What are you doing?"

"Yao'er, what are you looking at?" Niu Dali looked in the direction Yao Yuling was looking.

"I didn't see anything."

"Yao'er, look what this is?" Niu Dali took out the thing in his hand as if to seek credit.

"Oh my god, bean cakes!" Yao Yuling's eyes lit up.

There were few delicious foods in this era, and bean cakes were considered a good food.

"What did you do there?" Yao Yuling asked with a scrutinizing look.

"An acquaintance gave it to me." Niu Dali said with a smile.

"Oh my God, aren't you from Niujiagou? How come you have acquaintances here?" Yao Yuling looked incredulous.

Just as the two were pulling each other, a beam of flashlight shone over.

"Are you whispering here?" It turned out to be Cai Xiaonian.

"Don't talk like that." Yao Yuling glared at him, then turned and left.

"Hey, Yao'er, take it!" Seeing Yao Yuling leaving, Dali hurriedly called for help.

"What is this?" Cai Xiaonian shone the flashlight curiously.

"Nothing." It was obvious that Niu Dali didn't want to give the bean cake to Cai Xiaonian. He wanted to save it for his Yao'er.

But unfortunately, Niu Dali was finally tricked by Cai Xiaonian, and the price he paid was that Cai Xiaonian gave him advice on how to pursue Yao Yuling.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The next morning, Yuan Mu continued to investigate Tan Hui's whereabouts with Mingyu, but Ningyang was so big that it was really hard to find him. Besides, he had not taken a train or bus out of the city, unless more police force was deployed.

So the two of them could only continue to investigate and search, and keep looking for witnesses to see if they could find the whereabouts of Tan Hui.

It is true that quite a few people have seen Tan Hui, but where Tan Hui went in the end is a mystery.

It was not until a few days later that news came that Tan Hui had taken a train to Linji.

Why did he go to Lingji? Tan Hui's hometown was deserted. His parents died in the war, and other relatives were missing. It could be said that he was alone.

Linji is Wei Honghua's hometown. What is his purpose in going to Linji? If it was really Tan Hui who killed Wei Honghua, then the biggest certainty of his going to Linji is...

Yuan Mu and Ming Yu boarded the train again. This time their destination was Erdaohe, Tuan County, Linji, which is Wei Honghua’s hometown.

The two of them did not dare to stop along the way and went to Wei Honghua's house as quickly as possible, because according to Yuan Mu's guess, the biggest possibility that Tan Hui went to Wei Honghua's house this time was to silence her.

Because he found out that Wei Honghua had cheated on him, he wanted to take revenge on Wei Honghua. Killing her was not enough, he wanted to kill Wei Honghua's family.

Wei Honghua's family already knew about her death and had come to her house, but the case was not closed, so the body could not be buried. So Wei Honghua's parents returned to their hometown and waited for news.

It was already afternoon when Yuan Mu and Ming Yu arrived at Wei Honghua's house. They found the place according to the address and saw white flowers hanging on the door of Wei Honghua's house.

Wei Honghua's house is the kind with a courtyard at the entrance, a big gate outside and a house inside, divided into east room and west room.

I knocked on the door, and soon a woman in her sixties came out.

"You are?"

"Hello, Auntie. You are Wei Honghua's mother, right?" Yuan Mu spoke first.

"I'm."

"Auntie, we are from the Ningyang Railway Police. We came here today to learn about the situation from you."

"Ah, hello, police comrades, have you found the murderer who killed my daughter?" The old lady was immediately excited.

"Auntie, don't get excited. The murderer hasn't been found yet. We came here today to investigate the situation." Yuan Mu hurriedly comforted her.

"Okay, then come in." The old lady was a little disappointed, then pushed open the door and let Yuan Mu and Mingyu in.

"Auntie, you are alone at home. Isn't uncle here?" Yuan Mu asked after observing the surroundings.

"She's in the house. Her father has been sick since he learned that Xiaohua passed away." The old lady sighed.

"Don't worry, Auntie. We will definitely find the murderer."

"You said my daughter is an honest and well-behaved girl, how come she got into this trouble?" Thinking of this, the old lady burst into tears again.
