The witnesses that Magistrate Song asked the government officials to bring were all villagers from Hedong Village.
According to these villagers, Ge Chunhua is kind-hearted and her ex-husband Huo Qiu is also an honest man. Even though he seems weak, he usually does not argue with others.
However, not much is known about the couple. They only know that Ge Chunhua was in poor health, they had no children, and Huo Qiu died suddenly of illness half a year ago.
Magistrate Song also asked about the relationship between Ge Chunhua and Niu Laowu when Huo Qiu was alive.
Some villagers said that Niu Laowu has never married, and Ge Chunhua is so good-looking that his eyes straighten every time he sees her. As for whether the two have any other relationship, he doesn't know.
After hearing this, Niu Laowu wanted to take off his shoes and throw them at him. Can such nonsense be said?
The villagers went to court for the first time, but they were not afraid. They also mentioned that one time Lao Niu Wu drank too much at his house and did say that he liked Ge Chunhua.
Of course Niu Laowu likes Ge Chunhua, otherwise he would not marry her, but what we are talking about now is Huo Qiu's death. Do these people have any brains?
Magistrate Song continued to ask whether Huo Qiu had seen a doctor before he died of illness.
Ge Chunhua visibly hesitated.
Now even the people watching could see something was wrong.
Magistrate Song calmly handed over witnesses.
The first person to come up was a young man wearing coarse clothes, who claimed to be a grocery store clerk. The people were talking about it, and Magistrate Song had already asked.
"Have you ever seen Ge Chunhua?"
The clerk looked at her, nodded and said, "Grassmen have good memories and will never forget anyone they meet. She went to our shop to buy rat poison half a year ago."
Ge Chunhua's face suddenly turned pale, "You're talking nonsense!"
One villager asked without hesitation: "Isn't it just buying rat poison? Who doesn't buy it? Why are you anxious?"
Only then did Ge Chunhua realize that she had made a mistake.
Magistrate Song did not expose her, but also reported an aunt from Hedong Village.
The aunt said: "Caomin once saw Ge Chunhua throwing herself into Niu Laowu's arms and crying, complaining that Huo Qiu was not treating her well, and wanted Niu Laowu to stand up for her."
Niu Laowu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, "Sir, the common people have really never harmed Huo Qiu."
Magistrate Song ignored him and continued to ask the aunt: "How did Niu Laowu react at that time?"
The aunt thought for a while and said, "He pushed Ge Chunhua away and let her live a good life with Huo Qiu."
"Any more?"
The aunt shook her head.
Magistrate Song sent another witness, one of the people in the village who helped Ge Chunhua bury Huo Qiu.
"At that time, the grassroots heard that Huo Qiu died of illness. When they were carrying the coffin, they accidentally saw that his face was pale and they did not dare to look more."
The magistrate of Song County also called the village doctor.
The doctor said: "The common people have not seen Huo Qiu and don't know his physical condition."
Magistrate Song looked at Ge Chunhua, "Your ex-husband is sick, why didn't you ask a doctor?"
This statement didn't make sense, and the sweat on Ge Chunhua's forehead was pouring down.
She just wanted to send Niu Laowu to jail so that she could leave here on the pretext of going back to her hometown to visit relatives, but she didn't expect that she would shoot herself in the foot.
Seeing that Ge Chunhua was speechless, Magistrate Song slapped him angrily, "Why don't you hurry up and recruit her truthfully!"
Ge Chunhua had never seen such a formation before, and she was so frightened that she quickly explained everything.
Xiao Xixi, who was watching the show in the crowd, suddenly felt bored. She thought she was a king, but she didn't expect such a talent. She was so frightened after just a few words.
According to Ge Chunhua, she and her husband were habitual offenders, and they cheated everywhere. She pretended to be pitiful and weak, and her husband pretended to be honest and useless, and asked her to find other men to act as a matchmaker to defraud money. After the money was defrauded, the two of them took the money and left.
Every time they go to a new place, it takes them two years to gain the trust of the people nearby.
The person they were targeting this time was Niu Laowu, but Ge Chunhua didn't want to live like this anymore. She felt that she was not as clean as the girls in the building, so she wanted to give up this kind of life and live an honest life in the future.
But Huo Qiu disagreed, and even said that if she continued to be disobedient, he would sell her to the building to let her experience what it means to act cleanly.
Ge Chunhua obeyed on the surface, but in fact she secretly bought rat poison, poisoned Huo Qiu to death, and then lied to the public that he died of illness.
After Huo Qiu died, Ge Chunhua pretended to be heartbroken, but took advantage of the darkness to turn the yard upside down, but could not find a penny left by Huo Qiu.
She wanted to leave here, but she didn't even have the travel expenses. At this time, Niu Laowu showed his kindness to her, so she wanted to get some money from Niu Laowu before leaving.
Although Niu Laowu gave her all the money in the family, Ge Chunhua didn't expect Niu Laowu to be so poor, so she thought of selling Niu Laowu's house and family land.
So she thought of sending Niu Laowu to prison, and then she would leave.
I thought that no one would find out what happened in the past six months, but I didn't expect that the clerk at the grocery store would have a photographic memory, and she would leave so many mistakes unknowingly.
Before Xiao Xixi finished hearing what Magistrate Song had decided, Leng Moran had already walked out of the county government office.
Xiao Xixi had no choice but to chase after him reluctantly.
"Are you leaving here?"
Leng Moran nodded: "Well, let's go."
Xiao Xixi was thinking that she didn't seem to be of any help this time, not even Leng Moran. Magistrate Song was responsible for the investigation, so the garbage system shouldn't give her points, right?
Just as I was thinking this, the system prompted.
[The host’s participation in this mission is too low. Although the mission is completed, the host cannot obtain points]
Xiao Xixi asked: "Then what should I do to achieve high participation?"
[The host must be helpful in advancing the case, but it is meaningless and it is not advisable to lie down like this]
Xiao Xixi wanted to say that she was lucky to be able to lie flat, but even if she tried hard, the system would not give her points.
"Whatever, I understand, I just want to act in there."
[Yes, the host please always remember that you are bound to the acting improvement system. If you are not acting, you will not get points. 】
Xiao Xixi had a cold face.
Seeing the unhappy look on her face, Leng Moran said: "Ge Chunhua will be punished by the law. She must kill someone to pay for her life. Even if she has a reason, she shouldn't kill someone."
Xiao Xixi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Leng Moran was explaining to her that she had not watched Magistrate Song's trial.
Her mood instantly improved.
"My husband is so kind to me. I want to make delicious food for him." Xiao Xixi rolled her eyes and said, "How about baking a few more big cakes to take with you on the road?"
Leng Moran shook his head and sighed.
The group packed their luggage and continued walking south.
At noon, the carriage stopped for a rest and a meal.
Leng Moran was afraid of fire, and others had to make a fire to cook, so he simply didn't get off the carriage.
Xiao Xixi took out the chicken that had been marinated in the morning, and then saw the attendants cooking porridge, then adding chopped dried meat and eating it with cold pancakes.
Xiao Xixi felt so sad when she saw it, so she asked Feng Yan to kill two raw chickens, then lit a fire and fried the chickens wrapped in flour in a pan.
The aroma of the chicken dissipated immediately, and the guard who was nibbling on the hard pancake suddenly felt that the pancake in his hand was no longer fragrant.
