After hearing this, Ms. Liu was shocked and said: "You kid, what are you talking about?"
The girl was so frightened by her that her shoulders shrank, but she still puffed up her face and shouted: "Daddy is bad! Daddy drinks all day long, and he always beats my mother, and even me!"
Jiang Wu frowned: "The deceased often beat you when he was alive?"
Liu's face was pale and she smiled reluctantly: "Adults, don't listen to the nonsense of children. My husband is a very good person, how could he hit someone? At most, it was just a quarrel between us husband and wife...
…”
Before she could finish her words, the girl had already knelt down beside her, crying and asking her: "Mom, why didn't you tell me? Daddy treats you so badly, it's not as good as the one next door... Ugh!"
Liu covered the girl's mouth mid-sentence. She looked at Jiang Wu in fear, kowtowed and explained, "You are wise to learn from children's words, so don't listen to them!"
Jiang Wu said: "Since you are just a child, why are you so afraid?" She looked at the little girl, walked to her side and said warmly, "What's your name?"
The little girl had a pair of big almond-shaped eyes. Perhaps she had just cried, and her eyelashes were slightly moist. She stared at Jiang Wu, feeling in her heart that she was a very beautiful sister, and even stopped crying.
"My name is Chen Ying." she said.
Jiang Wu squatted down and held her shoulders, smiling: "Can you guarantee that what you just said is true?"
Little Chen Yinghao nodded without hesitation and said: "My mother has taught me not to lie since I was a child. My mother was always beaten by my father, and her body was bruised and bruised. The grandparents in the neighborhood said that my father was bad."
The little boy next to him was not happy and rushed towards the girl to scratch her face. He shouted, "You are talking nonsense. Daddy is the best man in the world!"
Little Chen Ying yelled: "That's because Daddy is only good to you! Every time Daddy has some snacks and preserved fruits, he gives them to you, and I don't get any of them!"
Mrs. Liu watched helplessly as a pair of children argued with each other. For fear of disturbing the official's intimacy, she covered her daughter's mouth to prevent her from speaking. She then turned around and scolded her son for being nosy. After a long time, the two finally calmed down.
.
Jiang Wu was sitting in the hall with an unpredictable expression on his face.
Zhou Xianen on the side asked: "Your daughter just said that the deceased did not treat you as well as the neighbor. Who is this neighbor's name?"
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she suspected her neighbor's elder brother?
She trembled and said, "My neighbor is Brother Liao, who sells side dishes. We and I are quite busy on weekdays, so our children sometimes leave them next door to him to take care of."
When she saw that the two adults were silent, she became even more panicked. She mustered up the courage and said, "Could it be that the two adults are suspicious of Brother Liao? It's impossible. Brother Liao is a kind person and has a good relationship with everyone.
, it is impossible for him to kill my husband."
Jiang Wu and Zhou Xianen looked at each other and decided to set off for Linxian in the afternoon. After all, it was difficult to make a conclusion based on just one person's words. It had to be combined with the testimony of others.
During the trial, Princess Wen Xian had been sitting in the back and did not show her face. Jiang Wu walked to the back of the hall and asked her: "Princess, do you want to continue watching?"
Princess Wen Xian looked at Mr. Liu intently through the curtain. She felt a little confused for some reason. It was not until Jiang Wu called her twice that she came back to her senses. She looked at Jiang Wu and said in a daze: "Do you doubt her?
?”
Strictly speaking, Princess Wen Xian cannot sit in on the case, but she is a princess after all, so she has to listen if she wants to. After all, she is only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, so she really can't understand it.
Jiang Wu originally thought that she was just trying to be lively and fresh, but she didn't expect that she whispered: "It can't be hers."
Jiang Wu asked: "Why?"
Princess Wen Xian said: "Because she is the same person as my mother and concubine."
…
This time we were traveling with some Qianbai households. They were mainly responsible for taking confessions. Jiang Wu was in charge of listening. Jinyiwei was supposed to wear flying fish clothes when traveling, but before leaving, Jiang Wu felt that ordinary people would be confused when they saw the flying fish clothes.
I was afraid that I might have to kneel down and kowtow three times to ask a question. It would be better to pretend to be an ordinary official inquiry. This would be more efficient and would not cause panic around the deceased's home.
Zhou Xian'en thought it was a good idea, so he ordered his subordinates not to wear Feiyu uniforms today, but to wear ordinary official uniforms. They went to Chen Qi's home, and before they even got close, they saw a group of people gathered together who didn't know what they were talking about.
"I heard that this woman was kidnapped by Jin Yiwei early this morning!"
"Ah? Isn't that a big deal? Otherwise, why would the Jin Yiwei come to arrest people?"
"Tsk, tsk, I've seen that little lady usually looks well-behaved, but it turns out that she is secretly holding back all evil. She was actually taken away by the Jin Yiwei. I think the master of the house is not here today either."
"How did I hear that a man from this family had an accident and died? That's why the government asked Mr. Liu to question him."
The arrival of Jiang Wu and a group of strangers obviously interrupted their gossip. Jiang Wu stepped forward and asked, "Is this Chen Qi's home?"
Those people saw that all the uninvited guests had serious faces. Although they were not wearing official uniforms, they did not look like characters to be trifled with. They all slowly calmed down. The aunt at the head said: "Yes, this is Chen Qi."
Who are the officials in your family?"
Did Jiang Wu think it was so obvious? She was startled and nodded.
Zhou Xian'en said: "Chen Qi died unexpectedly last night. The details of the case require your cooperation to verify."
This sentence was like a big stone thrown into a small pond, causing thousands of waves. The group of people behind him started talking, some said it was a pity, and some said that Chen Qi deserved it. Jiang Wu raised his hand to signal
Everyone fell silent, and the entire questioning process was more lively than serious.
Jiang Wu first asked the aunt whether she had much contact with Chen Qi on weekdays, and then asked a few neighbors who seemed to be more lively. The aunt hesitated for a moment and said, "Chen Qi is usually a pretty good person, and he is easy to get along with."
Yes, he is just a little rough with his wife sometimes."
As soon as this statement came out, someone immediately refuted, "How can he be called good? When he was drunk and refused to recognize people, he could beat Mr. Liu several times a day until his skin and flesh were bruised. He is just an ordinary person.
Huddled in the dark alleys of brothels, I looked at Mrs. Liu who was really pitiful."
It is not certain whether Chen Qi is a good person, but the neighbors all agree that Mrs. Liu is a pitiful woman.
"She can't make much money by washing people's clothes, and she still has to be robbed by Chen Qi. She spends it all in casinos and brothels. So do those girls from brothels. They all came to her door last time!"
