Demon detective

Chapter 145 Inferior Roots
"I've said... I've said it more than 200 times, and it's really none of my business!" Li Qian said to Xu Zhen in the temporary interrogation room, "Three years ago, why didn't I want to go to Uncle Meng's house for a wedding? Have a wedding drink, but I really dare not go, Zhi Lian, Zhi Xiao, Zhi Bin and several uncles and grandpas relatives, I owe them money.

"If I go to a wedding, they'll have to charge me for the bill."

"Li Qian!" Xu Zhen slapped the table, "Aren't you telling the truth? If you poison Meng Qinghui's family, your mother-in-law, Meng Shaojun, will be able to get the approval document for selling drugs and become the richest man in Yaochang Village, so you have serious suspicions." .”

"Oh, what is the richest man?" Li Qian grinned, "At that time, I was kicked out by her old man, so what does it matter to me whether she is the richest man or not!
"Master Catcher, I offended you before, it was my fault, I will compensate you, and I will not fight for the property of my mother-in-law's family, please forgive me!"

The current Li Qian is Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror—he is not a human being inside or outside.

The villagers hated him deeply, and Li Youcai and others also vented their anger on him, so after being imprisoned, two groups of people took turns to beat him, and he was almost beaten to death.

"Also," Li Qian recalled something, and added again, "When the accident happened, I hid in Shouliushu Town, and I was with Silhouette and others from the same village, and they can all testify to me.

"Besides, we have been talking about this for three years. Fortunately, we didn't go to the wedding banquet. Fortunately, we didn't go to the wedding banquet..."

"Li Qian," Xu Zhen paused for a while, and his tone suddenly softened, and said, "Now... let's chat, what can you think of about what happened three years ago?"

"What?" Li Qian was taken aback, "Three years ago, I... I wasn't in Yaochang Village at all!"

"It doesn't matter," Xu Zhen said, "I just want to hear the truth. If your words can help me, I will not only let you go, but I can also intercede with the county magistrate to let you get part of Meng Chaojun's inheritance .”

"Ah!?" Li Qian's eyes widened in excitement, and then quickly organized his words, and said quickly, "Meng Qinghui is kind, but I have never borrowed money from him, because his family has a high threshold, and he is not familiar with him. Excuse me...

"Meng Qinghui and Meng Shaojun are the same great-grandfather, but in the village, there are too many people with this kind of relationship..."

"I mean," Xu Zhen corrected with a dark face, "What can you think about the mass poisoning incident three years ago?"

"Oh...Although Meng Qinghui is kind," Li Qian said again, "the villagers in Yaochang Village are not kind. They don't say anything on the surface, but they are very jealous in secret! I guess Meng Qinghui cast a curse, hoping that there would be many people in his family who would be ruined..."

In this way, Li Qian kept on talking, telling all the things he knew about Meng Qinghui.

Although there is generally no discrepancy, through Li Qian's description, Xu Zhen still understands that the villagers in this Yaochang village do have very serious bad habits.

Back then, after the mass poisoning case occurred in Meng Qinghui's home, the villagers' first thought was not how to find the murderer, nor how to bury the dead and heal the injured.

But at the very first moment, they impatiently went to Meng Qinghui's family Xingshi to question the crime, demand sky-high compensation, and robbed Meng Qinghui's house on the spot.

At that time, Meng Qinghui hadn't even been buried yet, and his bones were still cold.

Later, when Baozheng classified the incident as poisoning caused by counterfeit alcohol, the villagers did not protest or defend, but intensified their efforts and forcibly divided up all the property of Meng Qinghui's family.

Meng Zhichao and his wife were forced to move out of their ancestral home and live in a dilapidated hut.

During the past three years, many unscrupulous villagers still came to harass them from time to time, trying to extort more money.

Even when the couple wanted to leave the village, they were opposed by the villagers. They were not allowed to leave, and they even said that they would make the couple forgive the sins of the whole village...

Ugh……

Only then did Xu Zhen understand, no wonder why Lizheng Meng Zhicai framed Meng Zhichao and his wife after poisoning Meng Shaojun's family.

In the past three years, the two of them have been bullied and oppressed by the villagers, which is really pitiful.

Especially that Yuniang, who originally married into the richest family in Yaochang Village, thought that she could enjoy all the wealth and honor, but unexpectedly, the family was ruined before the wedding was held, and she ended up in such a miserable state.

Thinking of this, the next person Xu Zhen asked was Meng Zhichao's wife, Yuniang.

This time, Xu Zhen interrogated alone without Meng Zhichao.

Yu Niang is indeed a beautiful woman, but unfortunately, she was ruined by fate, and her body has many vicissitudes and traces of fireworks.

According to Li Qian, in the past three years, many unscrupulous men in the village tried to get her ideas, but Yu Niang beat them all away.

In fact, with such a ruined family and disfigured husband, Yuniang could have remarried instead of suffering like Meng Zhichao.

However, she chose to stay in the end, and her quality is admirable.

"Yu Niang," Xu Zhen asked, "what happened to your husband Meng Zhichao's leg?"

"Report to the head arrester," Yuniang replied with her head bowed, "Msanggong was born lame, it has nothing to do with the poisoning."

"Since he is lame," Xu Zhen asked, "then why did you marry him?"

"I..." Yuniang replied, "My parents decide, so I can't help Yuniang. Besides, Zhichao's family was the richest man back then."

"Then..." Xu Zhen pondered for a while and said, "I heard that before betrotting you to Meng Zhichao, your parents betrothed you to another family. Is there such a thing?"

"Ah?" Yuniang thumped, her expression unnatural for a moment, but she still replied, "Yes, the first betrothed was Meng Qingxi's family from Yaochang Village, who betrothed me to Meng Qingxi's son Meng Zhixiao. "

"Then why, did you change your mind again?" Xu Zhen asked.

"Because...because..." Yuniang said, "Because Master Meng Qinghui gave a higher dowry, and my parents were greedy for money, so they betrothed me to Meng Zhichao..."

"Yu Niang," Xu Zhen said with a long sigh, "What is the relationship between you and that Meng Zhixiao?"

"Ah? This..." Yuniang raised her head suddenly, and after seeing Xu Zhen's serious eyes, she finally realized that nothing could escape Xu Zhen's eyes.

Sure enough, something happened, Xu Zhen already confirmed the answer in his heart, and immediately said: "There are only you and me here, in order to find out the truth, you should tell the truth!"

"I...I..." Yuniang burst into tears, "Before we got married, I was a good couple with Meng Zhixiao..."

"Oh?"

Xu Zhen's eyes suddenly sparkled, and he spoke in his heart, could it be... the poison murder case three years ago was a murder for love?
