Chapter 173 The Ability of Acting

Lu Jinping met Jianguan Jia: "You just said that her mother-in-law and father-in-law might kill her, so why is that?"

Manager Jia turned his head and looked at the Han Yuanwai couple in the distance, and his voice was lowered, as if he was afraid that the two old people in the distance would hear it: "These two people are nice now. In fact, they are the most mean, and they have bullied Eleventh Lady a lot." Eleventh Lady was not a wife, and she stayed at home honestly, and was flirting with her everywhere. Her father-in-law was not a good man, so she told everyone that Eleventh Lady was a broom star, and she killed his son and insulted her family. By the way, I also heard that her parents-in-law once forced Eleventh Lady to go to Tongzhou to sell laughter, saying that it was because the money was coming soon. Eleventh Lady refused to do anything!"

Lu Jinping looked at Jianguan Jia curiously and said, "How did you know about this kind of thing?"

Manager Jia was stunned. He was happy just now. Unexpectedly, Lu Jinping would ask this back and stammer, "I heard what others said."

"Who said it? What's the name? Is it nearby? You want to call her here, I want to verify this."

Manager Jia didn't expect Lu Jinping to hold on to this matter and ask him down, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked and said, "Who said it specifically... I can't remember it. Anyway, someone said that, and many people in the village know."

"No, right? Such a thing is not a good thing. It will not be of any benefit to her parents-in-law and Eleventh Lady. They will not tell them, so who will spread it? I'm afraid it's a rumor you made?"

Manager Jia suddenly panicked. He couldn't afford to wear this hat and looked at Lu Jinping in panic.

Lu Jinping said: "To be honest, where did you hear this? Otherwise, I will punish you for slandering others!"

Manager Jia's forehead was sweating coldly. Unexpectedly, he missed something and was firmly held by Lu Jinping. He could only mutter, "It was my son who told me that my eleventh mother and my son are very good. My son once went to the house to propose marriage and wanted to marry her as his wife. I don't care about marrying a widow as his daughter-in-law. Anyway, no one respects us in business. It's good to marry a widow, it depends on their own fate. That day, I saw that my son was in a bad mood and seemed very angry, so I asked him what happened? He asked several times before he said that, and just now, Eleventh mother told him that her mother-in-law forced her to go to Tongzhou to sell laughter, and she had a big fight with her mother-in-law. She really didn't want to stay in that house, so I knew. What I was telling the truth is that you can check with my son, absolutely right."

"I will verify. Where are you at noon today? Can anyone testify?"

"I went to collect the bill at noon, at Lao Litou's house in our village. He had two bags of seeds from me when it was spring, and he had not paid any money until now. I asked for it several times, but he said he had no money and had to delay it until after the autumn harvest. I was anxious to argue with him. He just begged, so after a long time, I finally had a meal at his house before coming back. As a result, when I first arrived at the door, I heard something happened here, so I ran over with Lao Li and we. Lao Li's family could testify. I was at Lao Li's house from almost morning to noon."

Lu Jinping asked Jiangui Jia to step down first and called his son to verify. His son admitted that he learned about the matter from Eleventh Lady. He told his father, and then Lu Jinping called Lao Li to ask if Jiangui Jia was at his house at noon. Lao Li and his wife and children both testified that one morning. At noon, Jiangui Jia both asked for debts at their house, and finally forced their house to treat him to lunch. As soon as he went out, Lao Li and his others arrived at the door and saw someone running to the entrance of the village. After inquiring, they realized that something big happened here, and they ran over to see it together.

There is evidence that Jiangui Jia has no time to commit the crime, and his criminal suspect can be ruled out.

Lu Jinping called the vegetable farmer over and began to investigate him.

The vegetable farmer seemed very nervous. Lu Jinping asked: "You said before that you were in the shack all afternoon and didn't leave, did you?"

The vegetable farmer laughed and said, "The weather is hot, so I am too lazy to go out and enjoy the cool in the shack. I haven't come out of the shack since morning to noon, so I didn't see whether Eleventh Lady came over the road."

"Didn't you come to the toilet?"

"No, I was in the shack all morning and noon, and I never went to the toilet."

"Don't you have any convenience in the morning and noon?"

The vegetable farmer laughed and said, "I am too lazy to run when I urinate, so I pour it directly into the vegetable field under the shack. The stool is smelly. I usually pull it directly into the vegetable field after the sun sets. Hehe."

"That means, you have no evidence to prove that you have not been to the toilet, or that there is no evidence to prove that you have been in the shack and have not left. Is that true?"

The vegetable farmer's face was a little pale. He had already realized the intention of Lu Jinping's words. Finally, he nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."

Lu Jinping said: "Then you are the major suspect in this case. Because Eleventh Lady died in your toilet, and the toilet is closest to your shack, you can see that from here. But you said you didn't see her. At the same time, someone testified that you saw you hooked up with Eleventh Lady and was scolded by Eleventh Lady. You were angry and pointed at her behind her as if threatening her. So you have the motive for committing the crime and have time. I am afraid that you have to go to the yamen with me. The yamen has the means to let you tell the truth."

These few words scared the vegetable farmers to death. Of course, he knew that it was easy to get out of the ancient yamen. Once he didn't speak, he would be punished. At that time, he couldn't even think about it. Even if he didn't have this matter, he had to make it up. He was so scared that his legs softened and he knelt on the ground and begged: "Sir, I really didn't kill anyone. Although I had evil thoughts about Eleventh Lady, I am a man who has a thief heart but no courage. If I really want to treat her, I can't do anything to kill me. Moreover, I... I actually had someone to prove that I didn't have time to kill someone."

Lu Jinping sneered and said, "You say there is no evidence and then you say there is evidence. Which sentence do you tell me to believe you?"

"I'm telling the truth." The vegetable farmer gritted his teeth and finally decided to tell the truth: "Master, I, I said you must keep it secret for me, otherwise, if you tell this, I will be beaten to death by her husband."

"you say."

"It's like that. In the morning and noon, I was not in the shack. I went to deliver vegetables to Fatty Qu's house, and then..., I slept with his wife all morning. When I heard something happened here at noon, I hurriedly left her house and came out."

"Fatty Qu? Who is he? What's going on with you and his wife?"

"Qu Dafa Fatty is a farmer in our village. He is tall and fat, so he got this nickname. He has a very bad temper and often beats his wife. He is a good farmer and has a good family background. He often asks me to deliver vegetables to his family. Once when I was delivering vegetables to his family, he was not at home. His wife was injured by him and took off her clothes and was applying medicine. I accidentally broke in and saw that she was stripped of her legs and was covered with scars. I, I have never touched a woman since I was a child, and when I fainted, I ignored her and... I slept with her."

"At first, she struggled, but later she obeyed me. When she left, she told me to go find her again and come quietly. She wanted to take advantage of the fat man's absence. Fatty Qu likes to drink, often go to the villages and alleys to drink together for a day, sometimes not going home for two or three days. Every time, I quietly go to sleep with his wife. Today, this is the case. In order to survive, I can only tell this. Master, don't tell Fat Man Qu, otherwise he will swallow me alive."

Lu Jinping cursed angrily: "Why didn't you expect this when you were sleeping in someone's wife? I need to verify this. You go down first and stay honestly."

The vegetable farmer quickly retreated in shame.

Lu Jinping did not go directly to Qu Dafaizi's wife to verify the matter, because that would probably be exposed. He didn't care whether they had an affair, although an affair was a crime in ancient times. Lu Jinping was educated by modern law and did not treat this behavior as a crime, so he had no interest in investigating such matters.

Lu Jinping called Ye Qingqing, whispered the story, and asked him to go to Qu Da Fatty Aunt Qu to verify the matter in private. He asked for details. When Ye Qingqing heard that Lu Jinping had given her such a task, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, helping Lu Jinping investigate the case was also something he had always dreamed of, and of course he would not refuse.

During the time when Ye Qingqing went to verify, Lu Jinping called Grandma Han to ask. When Grandma Han saw Lu Jinping, she was at a loss and lowered her head, and the tears at the corners of her eyes had not dried yet. Lu Jinping smiled and said, "You are still very capable of acting."

When Grandma Han heard this, she was shocked and looked at Lu Jinping in panic and said, "Sir, I don't know what the Lord's words mean?"

"Previously, I saw you crying so sadly, as if I really felt sorry for your daughter-in-law. However, after I investigated, I realized that you were not very good to your daughter-in-law. You actually forced your daughter-in-law to go to Tongzhou to sell laughter and make money to you two. Is there any such thing? I warn you, you must dare to tell lies and deceive me. I have some ways to deal with troublemakers like you!"

Lu Jinping now knows that Guanwei is very useful in many cases, so he doesn't mind pretending to be an official air when necessary.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Jinping put on the air, Grandma Han immediately cried and cried, kneeling on the ground, her body trembling, and said, "Master, I, I was confused for a moment. I did something wrong. Please spare my life."

"What other bad things have you done besides forcing her to go to Tongzhou to sell laughter and make money? Let's talk about it all in a simplified manner, otherwise, if I know that you have hidden something, I will also make you look good!"

Lu Jinping has confirmed from the performance of Grandma Han just now that what Manager Jia heard from his son was true. He was very annoyed by the old woman who forced her daughter-in-law to make money by selling laughter and said nothing. (To be continued...)
