Old man Shen held Chen Xiashu's head and cried, "Son, you are my good son!!!"
After Old Man Shen cried for a while, he looked at Chen Xiashu with tears in his eyes and said, "Dad knows that you did this for the Shen family. Dad thanks you on behalf of the whole family!"
"However, this is also a worst-case scenario. What if the police can't find out?"
He wiped the tears from Shen Xiashu's face. Old man Shen was reluctant to let go of his son.
After all, among the three sons, only the second one worked wholeheartedly, was not picky about food and clothing, and did not compare with others.
If the Shen family lost him, Old Man Shen would really feel a little sad.
He calmed himself down and said to Chen Xiashu, "Since you have made up your mind, Dad will not persuade you anymore, but we have to think about how to tell the police in advance."
Then Old Man Shen went over the whole thing with Shen Xiashu, from the beginning of the incident to the moment he smothered Old Lady Wang to death.
He just replaced himself in the incident with Chen Xiashu to prevent him from letting the cat out of the bag when facing the police.
With Old Man Shen's constant corrections, Shen Xiashu was finally able to fluently tell the whole story.
Then Old Man Shen asked Chen Xiashu to change the plan of suffocating Old Lady Wang to saving her from choking by holding her mouth.
The two of us thought about it over and over again and finally figured out the whole process.
Old Man Shen kept comforting Chen Xiashu: "Second brother, don't be afraid. This is not your fault. It all started because your mother wanted to take away the food, so you got angry."
"When the time comes, we'll tell the police the reason. I'm sure they'll understand us."
"Dad, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid at all." Chen Xiashu didn't know whether he was talking to Old Man Shen or to himself, but he kept repeating the three words "not afraid".
The Shen family was rehearsing their confession, and after Shitou pulled Shen Siyue out of the Shen family, he sent her home first.
Shen Siyue was still a little unhappy that Shi Tou didn’t let her watch him at the Shen family’s house, and she pouted and refused to look at him.
Shitou could only explain softly, "I really don't feel comfortable leaving you alone at the Shen's house. It's impossible for those people in the village to stay at the Shen's house together to watch over you."
"If Mrs. Wang's death was really man-made, then the Shen family might be desperate. I'm afraid they will kill you to cover up the truth."
After Shitou’s reminder, Shen Siyue was also scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
If you think about it carefully, it is possible.
Now is not the time when various laws will be perfected in later generations.
In this remote rural area, the villagers are not well educated and have rather conservative ideas. It is no exaggeration to say that their ideas are still uncivilized.
Shen Siyue stood on tiptoe and kissed the stone: “Thank you for reminding me.”
Shitou touched the cheek that was kissed, and his handsome face slowly turned red: "How about...how about I go to town later?"
By noon, the thing was not done, but he was still holding it in!
Shen Siyue poked him in the waist with a wicked smile: “Hey, why are you so full of yellow thoughts?”
"Yellow thoughts? What are yellow thoughts? My head is full of you, no other thoughts." Shi Tou had no idea what yellow thoughts meant. He just wanted to be intimate with his wife now.
Looking at this man who looked like an ancient man, Shen Siyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The two of them were affectionate for a while, and Shen Siyue couldn't wait to drive him out: "Go quickly, it takes a long time to go back and forth!"
Shi Tou knew that she was eager to hold the Shen family accountable. Although he also disliked them, it would still be difficult to take down the Shen family this time.
"Wife, you can go and report the case, but don't hold your hopes too high. The police may not really arrest the Shen family."
Shen Siyue frowned in confusion: “Why?”
Shi Tou took a deep breath. How should he say this?
One reason is that Old Lady Wang was old and a paralyzed patient, so her death was most likely due to old age.
Based on this point, the police will most likely not conduct a very thorough investigation and will just go through the motions.
If the Shen family insists that Old Lady Wang died on her own and the police have no solid evidence, the case will most likely remain unresolved.
After listening to Shi Tou’s explanation, although Shen Siyue was a little dissatisfied, these were just guesses. Who knew how things would turn out?
Now that the secret of the Shen family has been discovered, it must be put to use. Whether it will succeed or not will be discussed later.
In the afternoon, Shitou went to town but did not go to work.
Liu Changshan also learned from others what happened at the Shen family at noon.
He left his work in the fields and rushed to Shen's house.
But when they arrived at the Shen family's house, they did not see the body of Old Lady Wang, so Liu Changshan asked Old Man Shen, "Where is your wife's body?"
Old Man Shen: "The eldest and third brother have been carried up the mountain and buried."
Liu Changshan: ...
He took a breath.
At first he thought that Shen Siyue hated the Shen family, so she deliberately found fault to frame the Shen family.
But now the Shen family is in such a hurry to bury Old Lady Wang, it's too abnormal!!!
Didn’t we go around the village borrowing coffins before?
If you didn't have something to hide, why would you be so anxious?
Liu Changshan looked at Old Man Shen blankly: "Zhi Fu, your old woman..."
He originally wanted to ask Old Man Shen how Old Lady Wang died, but then he changed his mind and thought, even if Old Lady Wang died in an odd way, would the Shen family admit it?
The person has been carried away and buried. No matter how he died, he should be considered to have died of old age.
Liu Changshan barely suppressed his pounding heart and waved his hands randomly: "I... I still have a lot of work to do in the fields. I'll leave first."
So Liu Changshan walked out of the Shen family quickly as if he was escaping from a vicious dog.
Liu Changshan's head was buzzing. The Shen family was really going too far.
He now believed 80% of what Shen Siyue said.
But Liu Changshan kept guessing who did it.
It is said that Old Mrs. Wang passed away in the morning. At that time, only Old Man Shen and Old Man Shen were at home, right?
The person who did it must be one of them.
But just now, seeing that Old Man Shen's eyes were red, and he didn't show any guilt or fear when talking to him, could it be that Old Man Shen killed his mother?
Liu Changshan was in a state of confusion at this moment, and he didn't know which side he should stand on.
He didn't want any major murder to happen in the village under his jurisdiction, but he also hated the Shen family so much that he wanted to drive the whole family out of Dongliang Village.
But even though this thought would pop up every time Liu Changshan was angry, he knew that it was not realistic at all.
Even though he is the village chief, he does not have the power to drive an entire family out of the village.
But if the Shen family really killed someone, it would be bad for his reputation and the reputation of the entire village!
I'm afraid that when people mention Dongliang Village in the future, the first thing they think of is that someone here killed someone and then went to jail or was shot.
