Drunk and fell into the water!

Another drunk fell into the water!

Chen Guanlou's whole body was numb.

He didn't even listen to what Warder Fan said later. After handing over the account books, he thought about it and called the jailer Chen Quan, and together they went to the county government office to identify the body.

Chen Quan kept sighing along the way. He really couldn't accept that a good person suddenly disappeared. This happened so suddenly and so exciting.

He was more honest and not as cunning as Xiao Jin. He asked cautiously, "Tou Chen, this matter has nothing to do with our prison."

Chen Guanlou shook his head, and then sighed, "Yesterday Li Tou and I had a fight, and today there is no one else. If I hadn't been sure that I hadn't done anything illegal, I would have doubted whether I was dreaming. What did you do? Why did you think it was such a coincidence? Or did you die in the same way as Jiang Yucheng? "

When Chen Quan heard him mention Jiang Yucheng, his whole body suddenly felt bad, "Tou Chen, don't scare me."

"I'm not scaring you."

Along the way, Chen Guanlou thought a lot but still had no clue.

When we arrived at the county government office, we exchanged identities and were taken to a remote house far away from the government office, which was cold and cold. It makes people shiver in the summer, so it is perfect for storing corpses.

"There are people inside, so I won't accompany you in."

When working in Tianlao, the last thing you fear is dead people. Chen Guanlou and Chen Quan stepped into the morgue without any taboos. There was just a corpse, placed on a wooden board in the center of the room.

"It's Li Tou! It's really him, there's nothing wrong with it." Chen Quan was the first to shout.

Chen Guanlou didn't say anything, but walked closer, using his shallow knowledge of work to identify. There was no obvious trauma or signs of poisoning. The nails were relatively clean and there should have been no violent struggles before death. The clothes are still the same as yesterday.

"Where's the wallet?"

"What purse?"

"Li Tou has been wearing a purse embroidered with a duck for a long time. It contains scattered silver. Go and ask them if they saw a purse when they found the body."

Chen Quan was ordered to go out to inquire about the situation. He returned after a while and said, "They all said they didn't see the purse. Could it have been dropped in the water?"

"It's possible."

Chen Guanlou didn't know the origin of the purse, but he was sure that Li Dahong, a rough man, valued his purse.

He was not a professional operator and could not see any problems. For the time being, he accepted the theory that Li Dahong was drunk and fell into the water. After that, he followed the people from the county government to the Li family to inform him of the death and asked the Li family to send someone to claim the body.

When we arrived at Li's house, the person who opened the door was a young, beautiful and gentle woman.

Everyone was shocked to learn that the little woman was Li Dahong's wife.

The county government officials were very envious and asked Chen Guanlou in a low voice, "You people in Tianlao have such high standards for marrying wives? Our government officials' income is not low, so why can't we marry such a beautiful woman?"

Chen Guanlou wants to say that this is definitely an exception.

He has seen Lu Datou's wife, Xu Fugui's wife, Zhang Wantong's wife, Wan Jian's wife, and the wives of several jailors under his command. Without exception, they are all shrews, with big shoulders and round waists.

He never expected that Li Dahong would marry a pretty little lady, so beautiful and blessed.

He asked Chen Quan quietly, "Did you know this before?"

Chen Quan shook his head frequently, "I don't even know when Li Tou got married, I only know that he has a family."

Everyone entered Li's house and took a look. The house was neatly tidied inside and outside. I hired an old lady to buy food, cook, wash and sweep the floor.

Li Dahong's wife's surname is Liu, and she has a little maid to serve her.

Come to think of it, if I were to marry such a beautiful little daughter-in-law at home, I wouldn't be able to bear the thought of her washing and doing rough work all day long, getting her hands dirty, hurting her body, and turning her into a yellow-faced woman.

Mrs. Liu burst into tears when she learned that Li Dahong was dead.

She is indeed a beauty, she is so delicate and beautiful even when she cries. The county government officials felt very distressed and didn't know how to comfort him because they were clumsy and tongue-tied.

Chen Quan on the side was also very intolerant and said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, please express my condolences."

As for Chen Guanlou, he was used to seeing beautiful women, let alone shed a few tears, even if he cried in torrents, he would remain indifferent.

"May I ask where your sister-in-law is from? Are there any fathers, brothers or elders in the family? Are there any other relatives in the Li family? We in Tianlao can handle the subsequent funeral and arrange for a few people to come and help. We can also notify the relatives on both sides one by one. ”

Ms. Liu shook his head slowly. The softness of his figure and the sadness of his expression made Chen Guanlou think of a word, weak Liu Fufeng.

"So that Mr. Chen can know that my parents are gone, and I have a brother, but he is not in the capital now. We won't notify you for a while. In the Li family, my husband has three brothers, and the family has been separated since the death of my parents-in-law. , I haven’t been in contact with each other for several years. I’m not very happy, and I haven’t given birth to a boy or a girl yet. However, my husband had a son from a previous marriage.”

"Li Tou has a son?" Chen Quan's mouth is always faster than his brain, "I've never heard of him."

Li Dahong is not young. It is reasonable for a man in his thirties to have a son.

"It would be great if Li Tou has a son. If you dare to ask where Li Tou's son is, I will send someone to call him back." Chen Guanlou asked eagerly.

Madam Liu held the handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, "I don't know where he is."

Everyone looked confused.

Ms. Liu continued to explain: "The father and son had a fight the year before last, and Dalang ran away and never came back. Now, I don't know where to find someone for a while."

Mrs. Liu is pitiful, and she doesn't understand most of the questions. She is a typical housewife.

Chen Guanlou made a prompt decision and asked the yamen runners to send people to help find Li Dahong's son. He also arranged for Chen Quan to go back to Tianlao and call a few more people to help. First, Li Dahong's body was moved back, the mourning shed was set up, and the scene was prepared. All the silver needed, everyone just had to pool it together.

Liu was very grateful.

Seeing that no one was around, Chen Guanlou asked presumptuously, "May I ask when did you marry Li? Is it the 10th birthday?"

Liu's face changed, but she still replied, "To be honest, I married Li the year before last, and it's already the 10th birthday."

Chen Guanlou:...

"I'm sorry for being so abrupt. It's often inconvenient for women to come forward for such a big thing. You should write to your brother and ask him to come back early. We will also find Li's son as soon as possible and ask him to come back to fulfill his filial piety. It's reasonable to notify the Li brothers. If there is a fight, don't be afraid, Tianlao will support you. Don't let Li go without peace of mind."

Fight, it will definitely be a fight!

Chen Guanlou has anticipated the situation in the next few days, and there is a high probability that someone will make a fuss. Li Dahong has saved a lot of money over the years. Let alone other things, just say that there must be someone in the Li family who is jealous of the house where Liu lives.

Liu has no children, and Li Dahong's previous son may not recognize her as his stepmother. Once the situation gets out of hand, the Liu family will definitely suffer.

From ancient times to the present, there has always been a lack of people who take advantage of widows’ money.
