The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 696: The Foot-Washing Girl Wants to Get Promoted (39)
"There is no poison in the rice. But your wife is dead. As for suspicion, you are the most suspicious as you are with your wife day and night." Shi Yi pushed away Zong Ying's hand that was supporting her and stood up. She patted the dust on her body and looked at the slightly bulging belly of the corpse covered with white cloth on the ground. "I heard that your wife has some mental problems, but she listens to you the most. She obeys you. Tell me, if she knew that you would poison her to death, would she crawl out of the ground to find you?"
"Don't talk nonsense here." Wang Qiyun looked at her fiercely, "You little girl, what does this have to do with you? If you interrupt me again, I will beat you up."
"Wang Qiyun, tell me the truth." Director Wu also saw something.
In fact, if you use your brain, you will understand that the Zong family will not poison the rice. The Zong family's rice shop business has been in business for hundreds of years, passed down from generation to generation, and has a good reputation. How could they do such a self-destructive thing.
Moreover, Wang Qiyun did not call the police after his wife got into trouble but chose to solve the matter privately. There was no hidden secret in this, and no one believed it.
"Director Wu, you are very perceptive. How could I, a commoner, do such a heinous thing?" Wang Qiyun hugged his wife's body and cried pitifully.
The policeman standing behind Wu'er took out a large bag of gold nuggets from his bag and said in a serious tone, "Wang Qiyun, explain to me where all these valuables in your home came from! At the same time, we investigated your neighbors, and they all said that you are not good to your wife on weekdays, and you always beat and scold her. You also cursed her many times why she doesn't just die. If you don't have a suitable reason, we will detain you."
"I worked hard to earn this." Wang Qiyun rushed forward to grab the gold, but was kicked to the side by the tall policeman. "Because you are suspected of murdering your wife and extortion, we are taking you back to the police station for investigation."
The police took Wang Qiyun away, and Zong Ying turned to Shi Yi, with both relief and praise in his eyes, "How did you know that Wang Qiyun had problems?"
"It's very simple." Shi Yi said bluntly, without showing off his knowledge, "If a man really loves his wife, he would not be willing to drag out his wife's body and embarrass himself. Moreover, if there was nothing wrong with Wang Qiyun, he would not have come to the Zong family to bargain instead of reporting to the police when his wife was in trouble."
"Anyway, the solution to this matter depends on Brother Wu'er. If it weren't for his cleverness, Wang Qiyun's conspiracy wouldn't have been exposed so quickly." Shi Yi gave Wu'er, who was standing next to him, a thumbs up.
"You two are both my right-hand men." Zong Ying comforted himself. When he encountered troubles, there were still people around him who could help.
However, Wang Qiyun couldn't have such a big courage to do such a thing. Who was the person behind him?
He soon knew the answer.
The fact that Wang Qiyun was arrested at the police station was quickly known by the owner of Wang's Pawnshop. He didn't expect that Wang Qiyun was so useless that he couldn't blame the Zong family for the loss of two lives.
The new police chief had nothing to do with him. He was worried that Wang Qiyun would expose him, so he immediately bribed the people in the prison to secretly kill Wang Qiyun. Unfortunately, he still found a person who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish things. Not only did he fail to kill Wang Qiyun, but he was also caught. He, the mastermind behind the scenes, was exposed.
The news that a father-in-law wanted to harm his son-in-law would make people laugh. Zong Ying specifically asked Director Wu for mercy and went to meet his father-in-law in private.
Shopkeeper Wang has been shrewd for most of his life, but he didn't expect that he would scheme himself into prison when he was old. Looking at his son-in-law who came to "visit" him, he didn't want to look at him.
"You won't be sentenced to death." Zong Ying didn't want him to be sentenced to death. For a living person, the most terrifying thing is a life with no end in sight.
"I have already found out that you colluded with the old housekeeper to falsify the accounts. I have not said anything to give the old housekeeper a chance, and also to give you a chance." Zong Ying smiled, "You don't think I am really that stupid, can't you see the fake accounts?"
Shopkeeper Wang snorted heavily, "You also think I have been stupid for so many years? If I hadn't thought about your Zong family's property, would I marry my daughter to you? And lose my grandson."
Thinking of Baoer, Zong Ying's eyes darkened, "I have never forgotten Baoer's death. One day, I will avenge this grudge."
"You still have some conscience. Baoer definitely didn't drown himself." Shopkeeper Wang hid the grief in his eyes.
The news of his grandson's death was such a difficult thing for him to accept. He also hated Zong Ying for not investigating it carefully, so when his daughter handed him a letter and asked him to find a way to ruin the Zong family's business and bring down the Zong family, he agreed without hesitation.
"Does Wang Linlang have anything to do with this?" Zong Ying was silent for a long time before asking this irrelevant question.
Shopkeeper Wang turned his back and stopped talking to him. He did not continue to ask.
Wang Linlang in the side courtyard heard the maids talking and realized that her father had been sent to prison. She couldn't figure out what went wrong and let Zong Ying find it out.
She screamed hysterically, and several maids who were playing cards saw that she was crazy again and threw the melon seed shells at hand into the crack of her door.
"Stop making noise. How can you live when you can't even take care of your own child?" Nanny Wang glanced to the side and called to the sisters, "Come on, let's continue."
Wang Linlang knelt on the ground, thinking of her son who was lively and energetic when he was alive. She really lost her mind and banged her head against the door frame like a madman.
"Hey, hey, hey, do you think the Third Madam will be killed in there?" Aunt Cai looked reluctant, "How about we go in and tie her up?"
"Oh. If she wanted to die, she would have died long ago. Why wait so long?" Aunt Li took out the cards in her hand and urged, "Hurry up and play. Don't waste time."
"That's right, that's right. If she really wanted to die, she wouldn't have made such a big noise. Think about that person, when she really wanted to die, she would have stuck the hairpin into her neck and died, right?" Aunt Wang didn't intend to pamper the Third Madam who was exiled to the side courtyard. After all, she couldn't get any benefits, right?
Aunt Cai thought for a while and felt that it made sense, so she agreed, "That's right. Let's continue playing cards."
Wang Linlang cried, "Oh God, why are you so unfair? Give me back my Baoer."
