No matter how much of a headache it is, the director still has to deal with the Gou family.

He had heard from the company commander that a group of bigwigs had taken Xiang Mianmian to City B, so the safety of the Xiang family in his jurisdiction was of paramount importance.

If these people broke in with sticks and saw the manuscript and stole it, he would not be able to bear the crime.

Fortunately, the retired uncles and aunts were very quick and rushed into Xiang's house to maintain public order, preventing the suspect from entering the room.

So the charges against this group of people were changed from domestic violence to burglary, and they were detained for a few days to see how the situation develops.

Gou Fugui never thought that beating his wife would become the most insignificant crime. He kept pestering Li Tao and demanded to see her and ask her to issue a letter of apology.

Oh, being detained is no big deal. His uncle was also detained for domestic violence, and the beating was more serious.

My aunt was beaten so badly that her left leg was broken and her shoulder was dislocated. Her family was in a panic. When they took her to the police station, they found that as long as my daughter-in-law signed a letter of apology, nothing would happen.

They put pressure on my aunt's family, saying that there were several children to raise and that it would be difficult to get married after the divorce, and they persuaded them to stay.

Gradually, the family members became more and more comfortable with beating the daughter-in-law, just like beating a child on a rainy day. It was the same principle as when they had nothing to do. When they were upset outside, they would take it out on the daughter-in-law.

As a result, the Gou family's family tradition became worse and worse, and it became increasingly difficult for them to find a wife. They could only fool outsiders like Li Tao.

Li Tao went for an injury assessment overnight. The scar on her head was so big that she needed eight stitches. It was unknown what kind of firm belief made her insist on running to Xiang's house for help.

If they hit someone somewhere else, it could be considered a minor quarrel between a couple, but hitting someone on the head is a real death!

Aunt Gongsun couldn't bear to see the injury report, so she tried to persuade her, "My daughter, listen to my advice and file for divorce. This is going to cost you your life!"

Li Tao was more determined than anyone else: "I want a divorce! I'd rather die of starvation or exhaustion than live with Gou Fugui again!"

When he was pinned to the ground and beaten, Li Tao knew that there was no turning back.

She rushed to the Xiang family regardless of anything, mainly because the county town was so big, she was only slightly involved with the Xiang family, and she also knew that there were people guarding the area near the Xiang family, so there was no need to worry about safety issues.

As for the police?

Who knows if we might encounter a mediator who can make a big deal out of a small matter and not take this domestic violence seriously?

The fate of the Xian family had spread throughout the family compound, and Li Tao felt that the only solution he could think of was to rush to the Xiang family to seek refuge.

Reuniting Gou Fugui with his aunt is a meritorious deed.

If Gou Fugui was clear-headed, he would not have rushed into the Xiang family to arrest Li Tao. The problem was that this group of people were drunk and rushed in to arrest people with a sense of self-righteousness.

Originally, Li Tao only planned to sue Gou Fugui for domestic violence and the burglary that the director reminded her of, and attempted to divorce.

Unexpectedly, when the police searched Gou Fugui, they found the agreement in his pocket. When they saw Xian Ma's name on it, everyone was stunned.

Having an improper and illegal transaction with a death row inmate who was suspected of spying on state secrets?

If they don’t investigate you, who else should they investigate?

They quickly contacted the people in the prison to interrogate Xian Ma, and at the same time interrogated Gou Fugui.

Gou Fugui felt that these people were repeatedly interrogating people without regard for human rights, yet they were still protesting, saying that normal procedures should be this and that, and that police should not abuse lynching.

His behavior is pure pretense.

Faced with national security, these interrogators used every possible means and soon made Gou Fugui confess the truth.

He said that he was innocent and had no idea what the Xiang family had. He just accidentally entered the Xiang family because he wanted to pursue his wife Li Tao.

Even if he was hit and his nose was bleeding, Gou Fugui still used the same excuse.

Although he was not very smart, he knew that he must not confess at this time. If he confessed, it would be the end of him. Besides, he really did not do it, so he could not confess the truth!

The interrogators stopped in doubt, waiting for Xian Ma's testimony.

What do people who have been sentenced to death and received a one-year reprieve care about most?

Of course it’s an opportunity to reduce my sentence!

Xian Ma was waiting to die in prison with a haggard look in her eyes, but was suddenly brought in for interrogation to find out if there was any connection between her and her nephew Gou Fugui?

Facing the interrogator's upright and cold face, Xian's mother was overjoyed to hear this.

Her eyes lit up like a sun appearing in the night sky: "The connection with Gou Fugui... He is my nephew, and he married my former daughter-in-law Li Tao!"

The interrogator remained silent and looked indifferent.

Who would want to listen to this kind of information that can be obtained by just looking it up? Don’t they have the hands and feet to look up the information, or even open their mouths to ask?

The interrogator flipped through the documents and made impatient noises.

Xian Ma, who observed their expressions, knew that this was not what they wanted. Her mind was racing: "I also sold a job to Gou Fugui, he..."

She paused deliberately, wondering if this was what the interrogators wanted to hear.

As expected, the interrogator looked up at her and said, "Keep telling me the truth. Why are you selling your job? What's the connection between you two?"
