Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 39
in the courtyard.

A woman in her 50s stood opposite Su Jizhi and Wan Yan.

This is the mother of the deceased.

Su Jizhi called her Qian Shi.

With the experience from last time, Wan Yan knows that her role is to observe words and expressions, and help the adults get more clues.

And... discerning the flavors.

When the adults asked questions, Wan Yan secretly remembered the main points in her heart to distinguish the adults' reactions.

If the adult frowns, it means that he is thinking, or the answer is different from what the adult expected.

Wan Yan knew what to ask when she was alone with Qian Shi.

Mother Qian was crying all the time, trembling all over, still immersed in shock and grief.

"I'm Tongshan Mansion Yin Su Jizhi, Mrs. Qian. The officer has already asked me about it, but I want to ask you again."

Mrs. Qian nodded and said angrily, "Women are not afraid of being asked by adults, as long as they can catch the murderer..."

There was hatred and puzzlement on Qian's face: "Catch my son-in-law who killed a thousand knives, you can ask me whatever you want, my lord, you want to avenge my daughter."

Qian's stature is tall, Wan Yan has met Qian Xi'er, and the two women are similar in stature.

However, the woman was wearing a short double-breasted cloth dress, her hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head, and although she spoke loudly, she seemed a little gentler than Qian Xi'er.

Su Jizhi raised his eyebrows lightly, a sense of majesty rushed over his face, Qian shrank back, not daring to look at each other.

"The case is still pending. Mrs. Qian, I hope you don't spread such remarks. How do you know that it was your son-in-law Guo Wanfu who killed Qian Xi'er?"

Qian Shi was startled for a moment, and clenched her back teeth.

"Now there is no evidence to prove that Guo Wanfu killed Qian Xi'er. I hope you will be calm and calm. What will you say when I ask you now?"

Shocked by Su Jizhi, Qian nodded sharply.

"When did you find out that something happened to Qian Xi'er?"

"In Weishi, the woman came to see her daughter. When she opened the door, she found that there was no movement in the yard. When the woman entered the main room, she found her daughter lying on the ground, motionless."

After speaking, Qian's eyes turned red.

"When you came, the door was locked from the outside?"

"Yes."

"Who has the key on weekdays?"

"Xi'er's house has a lock on the back of the door. Everyone in this area is familiar with it. On weekdays, they leave the house with the lock on. They don't need a key at all. This morning, the women are wondering why they locked the door today?"

"You come to Qian Xi'er every day?"

Mrs. Qian shook her head: "A pair of grandsons of the folk woman are raising by my side. Today, the family cut a piece of meat. I made some braised pork at noon, and I want to send it to Xi'er."

Mrs. Qian pointed to the stove in the house: "The woman carried the food box and found out that Xi'er had an accident. She was so scared that the meat fell to the ground."

Wan Yan suddenly realized that the smell of meat she smelled should be this smell.

"How is the relationship between Qian Xier and Guo Wanfu on weekdays?"

Qian shi sighed: "How should I put it? Xi'er is acting perversely, but the two of them have a good relationship, and they are well-known in Niuzhuang... good."

Perhaps Qian himself didn't believe it, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"But what I heard is different from yours. Qian Xi'er and Guo Wanfu often quarrel and even fight. It's just that it's not Guo Wanfu who does it, but Qian Xier does it."

Qian hurriedly defended: "No, my lord, Xi'er has been spoiled by women since she was a child, and she has a bad temper, but they already have two children. If it's not good, they would have divorced long ago."

Su Jizhi recalled the scene Wan Yan described to him. It seemed that Qian Xier and his wife were two, and Guo Wanfu was on the weak side.

"What do Qian Xier and his wife live on on weekdays?"

"Xi'er sews and mends, and my son-in-law goes out to run some business and fish from time to time, so he lives by the river."

"Is there any conflict between the couple recently?"

This time, Mrs. Qian was very serious: "Contradictions. How should I put it? Two people outside the family often quarrel. This is a fact. A while ago, Guo Wanfu traveled far away. After he came back, I only saw him once."

Qian said and glanced at the yard: "Look at this yard, it's a mess, it's the same as when I came last time."

Wan Yan also took a look around, there was no vegetable plot, and the small yard was not tidy. She wondered whether it was Qian Xier who was not good at housework or Guo Wanfu who was lazy.

"Why do you think Guo Wanfu killed Qian Xi'er?"

Biting her lips, Qian said, "The woman met her neighbor just now, and she said that Guo Wanfu and Xi'er quarreled again yesterday. When I came in and saw this scene, of course he was the first one I thought of."

Su Jizhi's face darkened, just now he made a preliminary investigation, and Qian Xi'er died last night.

In this case, Guo Wanfu is indeed the most suspect.

"Which neighbor said these words?"

"The first one in Dongtou."

Wan Yan secretly made a note, and the adults will definitely check it later.

"How long has Qian Xier been married to Guo Wanfu?"

"Seven years."

Su Jizhi's eyes were heavy: "Seven years? Qian Shi, Qian Xi'er died unfortunately. We are looking for the murderer. If you suspect that Guo Wanfu committed the crime, you have to tell the truth to this officer. How can you hide it? Tell this officer that they are very emotional. OK?"

Qian's lips trembled, and she sighed deeply: "Xi'er's temper is well known in Niuzhuang, and I know what the neighbors are talking about. Occasionally, I can't hold my head up."

"In this case, why do you still say that Guo Wanfu killed Qian Xi'er?"

"The housewife...was also very angry for a while. When I heard that they were arguing, the first thing that came to my mind was that my son-in-law couldn't stand Xi'er and fought back."

Wan Yan's heart sank, even Qian Shi thought so, let alone the neighbors?Looking at the situation, could Guo Wanfu be the murderer?

"Qian Xier and his wife didn't get along after they got married?"

"Well, Xi'er is not satisfied with this marriage, so she has been unhappy after getting married. I can see Guo Wanfu's patience and persuade Xi'er, but she doesn't listen."

"So you think that Qian Xier's Lion Roaring in the East River, Guo Wanfu couldn't stand it and killed her?"

Mrs. Qian nodded: "One time Wanfu drank too much and complained to our old couple that he married a shrew. Alas, we have two children. Xi'er is still dissatisfied with Guo Wanfu, and there is nothing we can do about it."

"I can see that you love Qian Xi'er very much, so she disagrees with her marriage with Guo Wanfu?"

"Yes."

"Then why did you two leave and let her marry Guo Wanfu?"

Qian sighed: "Because Guo Wanfu once saved the old man's life."

"how do I say this?"

"More than ten years ago, Xi'er's father was fishing in the river. It was August, and the rainstorm came at any time. His father's boat was overturned by the rainstorm. At that time, there was no one in the river. time."

Qian said, wiping away tears: "Just when his father was about to lose his hold, Guo Wanfu passed by on a boat and saved his father's life."

"Guo Wanfu was in his 20s at the time, and his family had no parents. Apart from being poor, everything else was fine. He was also able to fish and make a living. His father was tempted, so he betrothed Xi'er to him."

"What about these years? Are you satisfied with Guo Wanfu?"

Qian lowered her head: "There are dissatisfaction, but our old couple is getting old, I still hope that Xi'er and Wanfu can live well."

Wan Yan heard that Qian's evaluation of Guo Wanfu had changed from a person who killed a thousand swords to calling Wanfu now.

"Qian, after thinking calmly just now, do you still think Guo Wanfu is the murderer?"

Qian looked at the window of the main room quietly: "Although he is not so firm, but my lord, besides Guo Wanfu, who else wants to kill my daughter?"
