Chapter 773

In the end, the court pronounced the verdict: Wang Dachui was sentenced to death for intentional homicide and corpse disposal. His methods were extremely cruel, the social impact was extremely bad, and his crimes were extremely serious. He was sentenced to death in accordance with the law and the execution was immediate.

Wang Yue was convicted of accomplice for assisting in disposing of the body, destroying key evidence and concealing the facts of the crime. However, considering that she was coerced and surrendered herself, and that she is currently pregnant, she was sentenced to four years' imprisonment in accordance with the law, but was temporarily released on parole due to her pregnancy.

Wang Dachui sat in the dock in prison clothes, his hair mostly gray, and there was no emotion in his cloudy eyes, as if the death sentence was not passed on him.

It was not until the bailiffs came forward to escort him that he suddenly looked up at the gallery, his gaze sweeping across the empty family area, and then fell back on Su Miao - there was resentment and unwillingness in his eyes, which eventually sank into a stagnant pool.

Wang Yue's pregnancy is not very obvious yet, and she doesn't look like a pregnant woman at all when she wears loose clothes.

When she heard the verdict, her shoulders slumped, tears fell on her knees, and a tiny sob came out of her throat.

When the judge mentioned "temporary release from prison during pregnancy", she subconsciously touched her belly, with panic and a hint of indescribable confusion in her eyes.

As a family member of the victim, Su Miao received appropriate financial compensation according to the law. However, Wang Dachui was already penniless and on death row, so he naturally could not take the initiative to compensate.

Su Miao applied to the court for compulsory execution without hesitation.

Finally, after the court's ruling, Su Miao, as Liu Xu's only legal heir, inherited half of the property rights of the house that Wang Dachui and Liu Xu lived in during their marriage, and the other half that belonged to Wang Dachui was also awarded to Su Miao as compensation.

The court asked if he needed help with the auction. After considering it, Su Miao decided not to sell it first, but to go through the transfer procedures directly and transfer the house to his own name.

After all, this wife-murder case that shocked the whole city made this house a famous haunted house. Not to mention selling the house itself, even the housing prices in the entire community were lowered.

Originally this was a truly high-end community, but after this incident, it has lost its glory and the residents are complaining.

Su Miao is an adult now, and it is much easier for her to get things done than before. After transferring the ownership of the house, she plans to keep it and sell it when the time is right.

Although Wang Yue could serve her sentence outside prison, Su Miao would never let her come back to live here, so she could only return to Ning County in disgrace. How she lived thereafter had nothing to do with Su Miao.

However, Su Miao was still merciful and let her go back to get her luggage.

It just so happened that I also wanted to go with my father to clean the house. After all, the people inside left in such a hurry that they didn’t have time to pack up everything.

When Su Miao and his father arrived at the door, Wang Yue was already waiting by the door, wearing a loose dress and with her hair casually tied up.

Seeing them coming, Wang Yue moved his mouth but didn't say anything in the end.

Su Miao took out the key, opened the door and went in. The sound of metal colliding was particularly clear in the quiet corridor.

Everything in the house was still the same as when Wang Dachui and Wang Yue left.

The fruit in the fruit bowl in the living room had begun to rot, the juice had soaked through the bottom of the bowl, and it gave off a strange smell.

There was a men's jacket on the sofa, with unknown stains on the cuffs, as if it had been thrown there casually and never touched.

Su Yuanzheng brought two snakeskin bags with him, specifically to carry the sundries and garbage for disposal.

Su Miao walked to the balcony and pushed open the glass window. The wind blew in, rolling up the corners of the curtains and blowing away some of the foul air in the room.

In the garden downstairs, a few old people were sitting on a bench chatting. Their voices floated up, vague and unclear, but made the room even more dead silent.

Wang Yue packed up her clothes and shoes, filling two large bags. The past few years since she came to the Wang family were indeed the most affluent days of her life.

She hesitated for a moment and said to Su Miao, "Do you want Mom's clothes and shoes?"

"I don't want them. You can take them all, including Wang Dachui's. You can take as much of their clothes as you want. If you can't take them, I'll throw them away today."

Wang Yue's eyes lit up, and she went to the living room to make a phone call, saying that her mother and brother had come to Yongcheng from Ning County and were staying in the guesthouse, and asked her to come over to help carry things.

Su Miao shrugged indifferently and started cleaning with his father.

All electrical appliances needed to be turned off, and the refrigerator, kitchen and bathroom had to be cleared. Wang Yue looked at the gray floor and actually took a broom and mop to help.

The atmosphere was calm and eerie. This was the most peaceful moment for Su Miao and Wang Yue in the past two lives.

Wang Yue lowered her voice and said, "Don't you hate me? I was the one who betrayed your mother."

Su Miao was wiping the stains on the coffee table with a rag, without even looking up: "It's your mother."

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to realize that Su Miao was not scolding her, and it seemed that he really didn't care about Liu Xu anymore.

Ten minutes later, Wu Hua and Liu Xiaobao arrived.

After a few years, Wu Hua looked very old, with a hunched back and wearing a faded blue cloth jacket. She was about the same age as Su Yuanzheng, but looked like a generation older than him.

The "sharpness" he had before was completely gone, leaving only the timidity worn down by life. As soon as he came in, he nodded and bowed to greet the father and daughter of the Su family.

Liu Xiaobao has grown up. He is dark and thin but looks very energetic. When he saw Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng, he even bent over, which was unprecedented.

Su Miao didn't want to communicate too much with them. He waved his hand and told them to move their things quickly and not waste time.

The two of them thanked him profusely and packed up all their clothes and shoes and left. The snakeskin bags made their fingers red.

Before leaving, Wang Yue said to Su Miao:

"Mom... Auntie still has a few pieces of jewelry left in the dresser drawer. Most of the salable ones Wang Dachui has already sold. Wang Dachui has a very expensive watch that he is reluctant to sell. It is on the bottom shelf of their bedside table... I'm sorry, Su Miao."

"Well, you'll be on your own from now on."

Wang Yue bit her lip and hurried away with her mother and brother. The sound of their heavy footsteps dragging their luggage down the stairs could be heard in the corridor.

After the three people left, the father and daughter cleaned the house without distraction, covered the furniture and appliances with dust cloth, closed the windows and left.

After returning home, Su Miao took out the jewelry and expensive watches he had brought back and said to his father:

"Dad, let's sell all these things. It's bad luck to keep them."

Su Yuanzheng opened the box and his eyes lit up when he saw an antique silver bracelet:

"This...Miaomiao, this bracelet was given to Liu Xu by your grandma."

"Grandma gave it to you?"

Su Miao picked up the bracelet and looked at it. It was very heavy and had a lotus pattern engraved on it, but it had turned yellow due to being unused for a long time.

"When she got married, your grandmother melted down two silver hairpins from her dowry and made them for her. She said that our family was not well off now and we couldn't afford to give her the three golds, but she still wanted to give them as a token of her appreciation.

Later one year, Liu Ming got into trouble and needed money. She said she had sold it, but she didn't expect she still had it."

Su Miao put the bracelet on her wrist and said, "Since it's grandma's, returning it to us will be considered returning it to its original owner. Dad, from now on, just pretend you've never met this person. All the paths we take are our own choices."

Su Yuanzheng nodded with mixed feelings. After all, they had lived together for more than ten years, and it was impossible for him to not be moved by the death in such a tragic way.

But now that things have come to this, the murderer is about to be executed, and let the past be forgotten.

But what he didn't know was that his daughter did another thing.
