Chapter 267 Murder Case

Si Ningning rummaged through the box containing the sweater yarn and found red yarn inside. She took out a piece of yarn and drew it, but she vaguely felt that it was too thick and uncomfortable.

Frowning, Si Ningning stuffed the wool back into the box, and continued rummaging to find a thinner cashmere thread.

The paper packaging box containing the cashmere yarn was 28 inches in size. Si Ningning tore off the sealing tape twice and threw away the outermost knitting tutorial booklet, revealing the various colors of cashmere yarn inside.

There are many types of cashmere threads. After a quick glance, I saw that each color is individually packaged in a simple package. There are five rolls of cashmere threads of the same color in one package, and each roll is as thick as a bowl mouth.

Si Ningning took out the bags one by one and didn't stop until she found the red and burgundy cashmere thread at the bottom.

Burgundy is more suitable for larger parts such as scarves, sweaters, etc. For small parts such as bracelets, headbands, etc., bright red will be more vivid and beautiful, and it will not be out of place.

Si Ningning thought silently for a while, took the big red bag of cashmere yarn, put the others back into the box and pushed them to the corner of the study.

Si Ningning took out a roll of red cashmere thread and sat in front of the sewing machine. She measured the thickness and felt it was OK, so she found a soft ruler and cut out twelve sections of cashmere thread, each section about fifteen centimeters long.

Divide the twelve sections of cashmere yarn into two parts. Si Ningning chooses one of the two ends to tie a knot first. The shorter end is slightly arranged into a fluffy tassel, and the longer end of the other end is knotted with a six-strand rope.

The method is to weave slowly.

Si Ningning knitted until the remaining part was equal to the length of the previously reserved tassel, and then Si Ningning stopped and tied a tight knot.

Straightening the braided part in the middle, and combing the two broken tassels smoothly, Si Ningning used his hands as a comb, pulled the hair twice to gather it together at the back of the head, and wrapped it twice with the braided hair just now.

I fumbled awkwardly and tied a small crooked bow, then I went to the bathroom mirror and shook my head to check.

Not to mention, I am used to seeing people with low braids, but suddenly they wear high ponytails, with a faintly visible red headband, which is really energetic and playful.

That should be possible, right?

Si Ningning continued to turn her head left and right in front of the mirror. After her thoughts were finalized, she tilted her head slightly, held the corner of the hair rope on the back of her head with her small hand and gently pulled it, causing her long black hair to fall loosely over her shoulders.

In this era, people's clothes were mostly simple, and girls had almost no accessories or headdresses. The only thing that was reasonable, common and acceptable was the red headband.

The price of a pair of red headbands sold in department stores ranges from eight cents to two cents, and the difference lies in whether the headbands are made of thread or rubber bands.

Si Ningning thinks this price is not expensive, but others in this era don't think so.

Girls either have short hair that reaches their ears, or those with long hair can just pull a piece of rope and use it as a headband. Buying a headband alone is something that many girls find luxurious and envious.

If it was bought with money, Yan Wenshu might not accept it, but if she made it up herself, that would not be the case.

When he met Yan Wenshu in the afternoon, Yan Wenshu was wearing two braids. Si Ningning thought about it and sat back in front of the sewing machine beside the bed in the study. He gathered the remaining six pieces of red cashmere thread together and compared them with the ones just braided.

Tie the headband into a knot and continue braiding.

After the headband was braided, Si Ningning nodded with satisfaction and smoothed it out. He didn't bother wrapping it in a gift bag or anything, so he folded the headband in half, cut off a piece of white cashmere thread, wrapped it around and tied it into a bow, and that was done.

When she met Yan Wenshu for the first time, there was no friendship at all. The tie was not to please Yan Wenshu, but to apologize for her unfriendly attitude at that time.

It is always better to have something in hand than to go empty-handed, and if it is too formal and grand, it will not be appropriate for people to accept it, nor will it be appropriate to refuse it.

Si Ningning clutched her headband and thought about what she might say tomorrow. She was adapting to the situation. It was not about taking precautions, just for peace of mind.

After a few passes in silence, Si Ningning felt much better. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave the space.

Putting the headband under the pillow to hold it down, Si Ningning patted the corresponding place on the pillow, then lay down gently and slowly closed his eyes.

His thoughts were confused, and Si Ningning quickly fell into sleep.

At three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, it started to rain lightly, and the temperature turned slightly cooler. Si Ningning felt a little cold in a daze, so she got up in the middle of the night, shook off the blanket, and fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, he was awakened by the sound of male "hehehehehe" outside the house. Si Ningning got up with one eye open and the other closed, and looked towards the window through the mosquito net.

The sky was already bright, and the outside scene could not be seen clearly through the mosquito net. Only a group of figures could be vaguely seen running past slowly.

It's the security team.

Si Ningning's thoughts slowly came back to life, and a few questions arose in her mind.

Usually, the security team on the team at the Educated Youth Point would only occasionally find time to come over, and at most two people would come over each time. It was really rare for such a neat and small team to come over like today.

Could something have happened?

Si Ningning dozed off and ran for most of the time. She gathered her hair and tied it into a low ponytail on the back of her head and shoulders. She opened the mosquito net, stretched out her legs first and put on her shoes.

Jiang Yue, who was on the bed opposite her, opened her eyes drowsily, closed her eyes again after a while and muttered drowsily, "What are you doing up so early? Let's take a nap."

"...I have an urgent need to pee." Si Ningning made a casual excuse, but after the words fell, there was no movement from Jiang Yue's side.

Si Ningning looked up and saw Jiang Yue's lips parted slightly, breathing in and out, and fell asleep again.

Si Ningning took out her pocket watch and took a look at it. It was only around six o'clock in the morning, which was indeed a bit early.

Afraid of disturbing everyone, Si Ningning walked and opened the door with extra caution. It was not until he pulled the latch of the main room door that he completely relaxed and strode out.

Just as Huo Lang returned from a patrol with his team, Si Ningning stepped on her toes, leaned forward slightly and made a move with her right hand in mid-air.

The meaning was obvious, she was calling Huo Lang over.

From afar, Huo Lang saw Si Ningning standing on the doorstep.

Of course, I saw not only Holang, but also seven or eight young men behind him.

The young, energetic, and single young men could not resist the culture and appearance of the urban female educated youth, and all of them glanced at Si Ningning.

If it weren't for the fact that Huo Lang was still there, they would have blown the whistles of ridicule.

When Huo Lang saw Si Ningning looking for him, he immediately walked up to Si Ningning without saying a word, taking three steps at a time and two steps at a time.

He didn't say anything else when he arrived. He just adjusted the angle to cover Si Ningning tightly. This was not enough. Huo Lang turned back to the young man from the security team and said:

"After the patrol here, you go to Nanshanjiao to have a look. Pay attention to the situation at the experimental field."

"...It's okay, Lange."

A group of young men responded in unison, vaguely feeling as if they were aware of something, but not as if they were not?

As he was leaving, he looked in the direction where Si Ningning was standing, but except for the broad back of their captain, he couldn't see anything about the beautiful female educated youth.

The young men scratched the backs of their heads. Although they felt a little regretful, they could only follow the assigned "Hey, hey, hey, hey" steps and go to the other side to continue patrolling.

Si Ningning's chin was tensed into a peach core, her cheeks were slightly bulging, and her eyes were following a group of young people running away. Huo Lang looked at her unconscious display of playfulness, and felt angry and amused. He stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead:

"What's so good about them? They look better than me?"

"Ouch--"

Si Ningning covered her forehead. She stared at Huo Lang with wide eyes. Her slightly bulging cheeks instantly turned into an angry pout. She raised her hand and touched Huo Lang's stomach.

It was a subconscious counterattack, but unexpectedly, Huo Lang's abdominal muscles were strong and the punch hit her hard. Si Ningning didn't know whether Huo Lang was hurt or not, but her hand was numb anyway.

Si Ningning speechlessly took back his hand and shook it, demanding forcefully, "Next time, don't pull my braid, and don't flick my forehead! Otherwise, otherwise I will..."

Huo Lang wanted to nod in agreement, but when he heard Si Ningning stop mid-sentence, he laughed teasingly and asked curiously, as if he knew what he was asking: "What do you think?"

Si Ningning stared at Huo Lang with dissatisfaction and said angrily: "I'll just bounce back!"

"Hmph..." Huo Lang chuckled twice, completely amused by Si Ningning.

However, he was still laughing. Huo Lang glanced at both sides of the educated youth spot, and suddenly said seriously: "Go in and change clothes first. I'll wait for you to come out and tell me if you have anything to do."

"What's wrong with me dressing like this?"

Si Ningning lowered his head and looked at it.

She was wearing a nightgown. In fact, it was not an orthodox nightgown. It was a half-sleeved dress with a cotton and linen texture that reached her calf. She wore a small vest underneath, which did not expose any spots. The style was quite satisfactory. Even though not many people wore skirts in the countryside, it still

Can't fault it.

"No problem, I just rarely see you dressed like this." Huo Lang pursed his thin lips slightly, and his peach blossom eyes flashed twice.

Not only in terms of clothes, but also in the feeling that emanates from the whole body.

Delicate and soft, casual and casual, with a hazy and naive feeling in the morning...

Huo Lang knew that Si Ningning had just gotten up and was not really dressed up, but he didn't know why. He just wanted to hide Si Ningning like this and didn't want anyone else to see it.

Si Ningning seemed to hear something else, and her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Obviously this conversation was not out of the ordinary, but I don't know why, but I just felt embarrassed.

Si Ningning hesitated for a while, pursed her lips in embarrassment, and glanced to the side of the educated youth spot, "Then wait for me, I'll be here soon."

"good."

Huo Lang understood. After Si Ningning entered the house, he walked towards the side of the house.

Mo Yue waited for five or six minutes before Si Ningning came out of the room again and asked, "Huo Lang?"

At that time, Huo Lang crossed his arms and leaned against the wall lazily. When he heard the movement, he turned around and saw Si Ningning trotting over slowly.

He is still wearing a light green half-sleeved shirt, blue-black pants, and his hair is also styled in the usual braid that falls on the back of his head.

But for some reason, Huo Lang felt that Si Ningning's cheeks were flushed with red. She vaguely seemed to need someone's careful care and protection more than before.

Si Ningning already felt embarrassed, but Huo Lang kept staring at her, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

I didn't know how to respond for a moment, so I raised my chin, widened my eyes and said fiercely: "Still looking? What are you looking at?"

Huo Lang blurted out, "Look at you."

"..." Si Ningning was at a loss for words and glared at Huo Lang again, "Not serious... If you do this again, I will go back!"

"Okay, okay, if not, I won't look at you anymore."

Seeing that Huo Lang really turned away and looked aside, Si Ningning breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

Si Ningning walked around the corner of the house and stood next to Huo Lang. Si Ningning asked about his doubts just now, "Has the team received any news again? It's so good, why did you start patrolling so rigorously again?"

"This is not rigorous, this is normal." Holang paused and then said: "It will always be like this in the future. The security team will come here in the morning, noon and night."

When Huo Lang didn't tell him any news, Si Ningning naturally couldn't guess it. She just thought it was because of the Wu Yong incident that had awakened Zhao Hongbing's alarm.

We were worried that something might happen to a lesbian, so we asked the security team to step up patrols.

Si Ningning thought about it for a moment and nodded in a low voice: "As the popularity increases, the number of snakes, rats, rats and ants will decrease, so that's good."

In the future, when literacy classes are started, there will be more children here, which will be a good thing both emotionally and rationally.

As she was talking, she remembered what Huo Lang had said half way through last night. Si Ningning could vaguely guess what Huo Lang wanted to say. She was embarrassed to bring it up, so she turned around and mentioned another matter with her pupils twinkling slightly:

"How was your visit to the county a few days ago? What news is there?"

"There is news." Huo Lang nodded, "I should have come back long ago, but something went wrong."

Si Ningning tilted her head nervously and met Huo Lang's worried eyes, "What's going on? Is it related to Wu Yong?"

"I don't know if it is related to Wu Yong, but it must be a group of them." Huo Lang pondered for a while, then told Si Ningning the situation in detail, "At that time, the superiors gave the news, and the evidence was available and sentenced to imprisonment.

In the 22nd year of Wu Yong, the accomplices and a group of people were suspended for seven years."

"I didn't even come out after I finished speaking. Someone came from below to report that a murder had occurred in the Zhougang Second Team. The family members made a fuss from the brigade to the commune. Director Li had no choice but to take the person to the county."

Si Ningning nodded and motioned for Huo Lang to continue.

"The county sent people, led by me, to investigate this matter for several days, and found out that the cause of death of the deceased was pregnancy and miscarriage... a 16-year-old girl."

Si Ningning's brain buzzed, and she shook her head in disbelief, "What?"

Huo Lang knew that this result was not acceptable to everyone. He patted Si Ningning on the shoulder and comforted him calmly and regretfully: "This matter is disgraceful. If it hadn't been for a murder, most people would have chosen to swallow their anger."

Because the girl was gone and her family didn't have to worry about the girl's dignity, they chose to break the jar and angrily demand an explanation.

A girl who is only sixteen years old...

Si Ningning suddenly shuddered.

She didn't have any thoughts, she just felt a little cold all over her body for a moment.

"Then what's the final result?"

After bullying a girl and risking someone's life, is it as simple as just being imprisoned for a few years?
