I'm a street kid, but my wife, a policewoman, won't divorce her

Chapter 155 Why stand under the lion

Chen Xiao finished speaking while minding his own business.

He picked up the pen again and wrote down the third question on the paper.

"Why did Uncle Wande run away?"

This question was written because of a habit that Chen Xiao has developed now.

"It was probably because of me that time that Uncle Wan De didn't dare to call the police easily. But then, why did he choose to go away?"

Chen Xiao asked, subconsciously looking at Lin Xi.

The latter frowned and thought, and said while thinking: "You can't help yourself, right? Maybe he wants to find another chance, but he has too many worries."

Chen Xiao chewed this sentence in his heart, and then nodded: "It is very likely that the murderer definitely has more than one deterrent method, which is why Uncle Wan De never went to the police. In the end, he couldn't bear it and decided to leave. This just explains Uncle Wande’s unusual parting words when he said goodbye to Dad at the station.”

"He told my dad to keep the family well. For my dad, besides himself, the only people in his family should be me and my mom. Protecting this family means protecting my mom and me."

Chen Xiao said and looked at Lao Chen and his mother again.

Lao Chen didn't speak. He fell silent all of a sudden, as if something called a heavy thing was suddenly pressed in his heart.

Chen Xiao ignored him and said to Lin Xi, "Xiaoxi, are you going to the county bureau with me, or are you staying at home with mom?"

Lin Xi looked at her mother-in-law's condition, smiled and said, "I'm at home with my mother, you go ahead."

Chen Xiao nodded and did not dwell on this matter. He walked out of the house and got into the car with Lao Chen.

Lao Chen was involved in placing the stone lions back then. Chen Xiao felt that he needed to take him with him to make a record to avoid being talked about.

After getting in the car, Chen Xiao called Li Hui. He was already taking Chen Ding and Cheng Qing's family members to the township.

Going to towns is to save time, otherwise a lot of time would be wasted going back and forth to the county town.

Chen Xiao drove to the township police station and said after seeing Li Hui: "I have a suggestion, you leave two people behind. The rest take Cheng Qing's family members to the Hongshan branch as soon as possible. The top priority now is to determine the identity of the skull." "

Li Hui glanced at Chen Ding and others in the police station's inquiry room, he hesitated.

You know, Chen Xiao and Chen Ding are related!

Chen Xiao didn't say anything, and Li Hui made all the decisions.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Hui nodded: "Okay, I'll leave it to Mr. Chen to inquire about Chen Ding and the descendants of the craftsmen."

"Don't worry, I'll let the two people you left behind ask. I'll be watching from the side."

Li Hui felt relieved and left two guys to follow Chen Xiao.

After Chen Xiao explained some of the questions they wanted to ask, he followed him into the inquiry room.

In the room, Chen Ding was very anxious.

When he saw Chen Xiao, Chen Ding seemed to have found his backbone: "Chen Xiao, what do you mean, why did you bring me to the police station again?"

Chen Xiao looked at him indifferently: "Calm down, you have to come when a case involving human life requires you to come. Later, cooperate with the questioning of these two police officers. As long as there are no problems, you will be fine. Going back."    "Okay."

In desperation, Chen Ding could only sit down.

One of the detectives asked: "First question, when did your father, Chen Yuan, decide to place a stone lion at the door of his house? Is this his personal idea, or was it someone in your family's suggestion?"

Chen Ding was a little confused and replied: "I have explained this problem before. My father wanted to place the stone lion. He thought it was grand. Finally, he found a gentleman who knew Feng Shui and decided on the date for the placement based on his suggestion. And the orientation. According to what my cousin said, the date when the stone lions were placed was the Dragon Boat Festival."

"In other words, the person who wants to place the stone lion is your father, and there is no other person's suggestion, right?"

"I really can't guarantee this. At that time, I was away from home all year round and had no time to take care of my family's affairs." Chen Ding replied, and the police officer who asked the question changed his question:

"How many of your relatives were at home at that time?"

"My father, my mother, and my second brother and younger brother are all here. The second brother is currently imprisoned in Dongzhou, and the younger brother passed away due to an accident during the summer vacation of the second year."

"What accident?"

Chen Ding: "He was admitted to a prestigious school, and his family was so happy that they held a thank-you party for him. Seeing that he had grown up, they allowed him to toast. Unexpectedly, after going back and forth, he actually got alcohol poisoning. The next morning when my dad called him, he was already out of breath."

Chen Xiao nodded towards the police, indicating that this matter was true.

After the police understood, he then asked: "In your memory, did your father ever deliberately mention the pair of stone lions? I mean in later life, or did he often pay attention to the pair of stone lions? "

Chen Ding thought about it and replied: "I don't remember clearly whether I mentioned it before, but my dad really cherishes the pair of lions. He will clean them every once in a while, because the material is cement, so he always maintains it. It's very good, I'm afraid someone will bump into it."

"I can confirm this. When I was a child, I climbed up out of curiosity and was chased by my father all over the village." Chen Xiao said. The police officer who asked the question was stunned. When he was about to continue, Chen Xiao asked first. :

"Do you know why your pair of lions are made of cement?"

"How did I know this? My dad said he wanted to do it at that time. I was so busy outside that I didn't worry about it. I just asked how much it would cost and sent the money home."

"How much money did you send back?"

"I was making money at that time, probably 10,000 yuan."

"In 1991, the ten thousand yuan in our country meant that your father was rushing to use good materials. At that time, even if the pair of stone lions were made of granite, they wouldn't have cost that much. If they were made of cement, they probably wouldn't even cost a fraction. Lose."

Chen Xiao said, and Chen Ding nodded repeatedly: "Yes, so I think I deliberately cheated me out of money. After all, there are two younger brothers in the family. You are our family, so you must know that my father loves the youngest son the most." "

"Well, although I don't have much impression of your little brother, I can tell from listening to others over the years."

Chen Ding spread his hands: "In addition to leaving money for my two younger brothers, I also thought that I might have been cheated. The Feng Shui master and the stone carving factory probably teamed up to set a trap for him. As for him, Just because I have been able to make money for so many years, I don’t treat money as money. How stupid!”

Chen Xiao did not answer and silently leaned his back against the wall of the inquiry room.

Seeing this, the two criminal policemen could only continue to ask Chen Ding, who knew everything and answered endlessly.

I don't know how much time passed, but Chen Xiao suddenly turned his head and asked, "Chen Ding, why did your dad stand under the suspended stone lion that day?"

Ok?

When Chen Xiao asked this question, both Chen Ding and the two detectives turned their heads at the same time.
