Chapter 230 Chu Miaomiao Likes Begonia Flowers
Chu Miao was watching Crayon Shin-chan from the side when she received a look from Wen Li, and she immediately put on a serious demeanor.
"Sure, I can give you my mom's contact information. It's just that I'm a little short on something lately. I don't mean to ask you for anything, I just wanted to say that I'm indeed missing something." Chu Miao said, stroking her chin.
Butler Lu was both amused and exasperated. He knew all too well what Chu Miao meant; that was exactly what she meant!
"Alright, alright, my little miss, just tell us what you need." Butler Lu said with a smile, "It's not that you're asking us for it, it's that we insist on giving it to you. If we don't give it to you, we'll feel uncomfortable."
"Alright then." Chu Miao nodded, agreeing as if reluctantly.
As Wen Li watched this scene, the corners of her lips slowly turned up, and a gentle smile appeared in her eyes.
……
Chu Miao had been having a great time these past few days, while Si Yelin was investigating another matter.
The human trafficking case in Anhe Village has come to an end. The mayor of Anhe Town was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment, while the other people involved in the trafficking were sentenced to prison terms ranging from ten to twenty years.
Si Yelin went to the police station to meet with Mayor Wen.
After a month at the police station, Mayor Wen had become skin and bones, with obvious wounds on his clothes, clearly indicating that he had been severely bullied in prison.
"Young Master Si, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please let me go! Let me go! I really don't know where what you want is, and your mother really didn't give me anything when she came to me."
“I came to see you, not to hear you repeat yourself.” Si Yelin’s back slowly leaned against the back of the chair, his dark eyes calmly looking at him. “If you still say the same thing, then there’s no need for us to talk.”
After saying that, Si Yelin stood up. Seeing that he was about to leave, Mayor Wen panicked and hurriedly said, "Young Master Si! I'll talk, I'll talk!"
Si Yelin turned around, his eyes devoid of any color or emotion.
Mayor Wen gritted his teeth. He knew that if he didn't speak up, he would have an even worse time in prison.
He was truly scared, truly scared...
Prison is simply not a place for humans.
He didn't ask Si Yelin to release him, he only begged Si Yelin to stop torturing him.
He doesn't even dare to mention conditions to Si Yelin anymore.
“Your mother came to Anhe Village to find me before she passed away, and she did leave me something—a key.”
Si Yelin looked at him calmly, waiting for him to speak, without saying a word.
“Your mother once saved my life and trusted me quite a bit. She gave me a key, saying it was the key to unlocking something. If you ever come looking for this thing, let me give it to you.”
"But that key..." Mayor Wen said somewhat guiltily, "About half a month after your mother gave me the key, a group of mysterious people came looking for me and forced me to hand it over. They were so powerful, I dared not refuse! If I didn't give it to them, I would lose my life!"
"So, I... I gave it away! You can't entirely blame me, can you? I was just trying to save my own life!"
"What kind of mysterious group are they? What are their characteristics?" Si Yelin asked.
Mayor Wen immediately replied, "They have a distinctive totem on their shoulders, it looks like... a begonia flower totem!"
Crabapple blossoms...
Si Yelin's eyes darkened.
He had initially thought that the group that killed his mother had gone to Mayor Wen for the key, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
The group that killed his mother did not have the crabapple blossom totem on their shoulders.
Therefore, it wasn't just one group of people targeting his mother, but two groups.
Si Yelin's heart sank.
Things are getting more and more complicated.
Who exactly targeted his mother, and what did they do with the key?
These things, like mysteries, haunted him. But it didn't matter. No matter how difficult it was, Si Yelin would find out the truth and avenge his mother!
"Young Master Si, I've told you everything I know. Please, please let me go. Just for the sake of me, someone your mother once trusted and relied on, please spare me!"
Mayor Wen covered his face and wept bitterly.
"If my mother knew that the person she once helped, a man full of ambition and determined to do practical things for the people, would one day turn out like this, she would definitely regret helping you back then."
Tears slowly streamed down Mayor Wen's face through his fingers.
Si Yelin's words reminded him of a long, long time ago.
Anhe Village is the poorest mountain village in the surrounding area.
Anhe Town is also very poor, and the town mayor is even more incompetent.
He was full of ambition, and he was determined to do something practical for the people one day.
He was fortunate enough to meet Si Yelin's mother. Seeing how poor Anhe Town was and how ambitious he was, Si Yelin's mother decided to support him.
This led to him being appointed as the village chief, and then as the town mayor.
At first, he genuinely wanted to do practical things for the people, but as time went on, he forgot his original intention.
They started engaging in illicit activities.
Human trafficking.
Once you've done it once, you can't stop.
They'll do it even more often.
The deeper they sink, the deeper they sink.
……
Si Yelin came out of the police station.
Then I received a message from Chu Miao.
"Boss Si, look at my new crabapple blossoms, aren't they beautiful?"
"By the way, I tricked the Lu family out of a lot of medicinal herbs, all of them extremely precious. I can use them to refine another batch of pills for your people!"
As Si Yelin read the message from Chu Miao, the coldness in his eyes unconsciously melted away.
The first message he clicked on from Chu Miaofa was a picture of several crabapple blossoms. It turned out the little girl liked crabapple blossoms.
Before Chu Miao spoke, when he mentioned the begonia flower, perhaps he was thinking of the begonia flower totem of that mysterious organization.
It is dark.
Chu Miao said that the next time she thinks of crabapple blossoms, she will think of the little girl.
"nice."
He typed a reply.
Then he replied with a second sentence.
"Don't overwork yourself. There's no rush for the pills. This afternoon I'll visit your aunt and see you. I've also brought you a delicious cake, your favorite."
Si Yelin returned home, and as soon as he got there, Xiao Lang came running over, asking him how the interrogation went.
Si Yelin did not hide anything and told Xiao Lang everything.
Xiao Lang frowned after hearing this.
"A crabapple blossom totem?"
"How could an ordinary person use a crabapple blossom as a totem?"
"Either the leader of this organization is a woman, because only women would like something like crabapple blossoms. Or, the leader of this organization is a man, but he has a woman he likes, and that woman especially loves crabapple blossoms."
"So he used the crabapple blossom as a totem to win that woman's favor. Who knows, this organization might even have been established for that woman!"
Xiao Lang felt that his analysis made perfect sense.
That's for sure!
Si Mu couldn't help but chuckle: "Young Master Xiao, you're not talking about men or women, of course. There are only two kinds of people in the world, men and women."
"Speaking of crabapple blossoms, Miss Chu really likes them."
