Ren Tiezhu told Xie Wan what happened.
“Your mother was strangled to death.
The police have come to investigate and have taken Ren Tiezhu away. They suspect that Ren Tiezhu killed Tao Hongmei."
"Everyone was working in the fields that day, and your mother was alone at home because she was injured.
Everyone in the village was checked, and none of them were suspects.
Only your stepfather Ren Tiezhu came home once during the trip, and there was no one else besides him."
Xie Wan was a little surprised. Did Ren Tiezhu have the guts to kill Tao Hongmei?
After continuing to listen, she realized that there was a reason why Ren Tiezhu was arrested.
Because Ren Tiezhu had fresh scratches on his body from Tao Hongmei.
Ren Tiezhu has confessed under interrogation by the police.
He did go back home that day. It was said that he suspected Tao Hongmei was cheating on him and ran back to catch them in the act.
"Ren Tiezhu came back but didn't catch the adulterer."
As he said this, the captain glanced at Xie Wan with some resentment.
Xie Wan felt inexplicably guilty.
"Tiezhu was disgusted with Tao Hongmei for staying at home instead of going out to work and earn work points, so he cursed her a few times, and then the two of them started scratching each other.
Tiezhu insisted that when he left, Taohongmei was still alive and well and not dead.
He also didn’t admit that he pinched Tao Hongmei…”
The captain told everything he knew in one breath.
Xie Wan, however, found this matter somewhat puzzling.
However, the criminal investigation methods at that time were still very simple, and Ren Tiezhu was indeed the most suspicious.
"Ren Tiezhu will definitely be shot!" Ren Dazhuang said to Xie Wan with certainty.
Xie Wan frowned. She didn't quite believe that Ren Tiezhu would beat Tao Hongmei to death. After all, she knew that Tao Hongmei's fighting ability was very strong.
When the couple fights, the odds are basically evenly split, with each winning and losing, and it's not likely that anyone will get killed.
However, Xie Wan was still very happy that Ren Tiezhu was imprisoned or even shot.
This stepfather is not a good person.
When Ren Chuan and Ren Erya saw the captain praising Xie Wan, they didn't dare to act arrogantly.
Ren Erya grabbed Xie Wan's hand and begged, "Third brother, you are capable now, think of a way to help Dad. He must be innocent, he couldn't have killed your mother."
Xie Wan was unmoved, she shook off Ren Erya's hand and said, "He is your father, not my father, and has nothing to do with me.
He killed my mother, and I didn't seek revenge on him. I already trust the government and don't seek revenge privately."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Xie Wan, Ren Erya pushed out the 14-year-old Ren Lao Si, Ren He, and said, "Lao Si, please beg your sister. You and she are born of the same mother, so your words will work."
Ren He is the son of Tao Hongmei and Ren Tiezhu.
This guy used to be the most favored one in the family, and he never took his sister Xie Wan seriously at all.
When he saw the new rubber shoes on Xie Wan's feet, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "You bastard, take off your shoes and let me wear them!"
Not only did he want Xie Wan's shoes, he also wanted to take Xie Wan's shoulder bag.
Xie Wan kicked towards Ren Laosi.
Ren Laosi was stronger than her, and this kick only made him retreat a few steps.
Now Ren Lao Si was like a madman and wanted to beat Xie Wan, shouting, "I'm going to beat you to death, you bastard!"
Fortunately, Xiao Wang, the driver who accompanied Xie Wan back, helped, otherwise Xie Wan might have really been beaten up by this ruffian.
After all, Xiao Wang came from the army, so his skills must be better than Ren Laosi's.
Xiao Wang grabbed Ren Laosi from behind in a few moves and forced him to half-kneel on the ground.
Ren Chuan and Ren Erya wanted to step forward to help, but were subdued by the captain and his men.
Xie Wan slapped Ren Lao Si in the face with both hands and cursed, "Ren He, if you don't learn your lesson, you'll end up in jail like your father!"
After beating them till he was tired, Xie Wan said to Ren Dazhuang, "Uncle Dazhuang, this family is full of bad elements.
If the team doesn't discipline itself properly, and something goes wrong in the future, it will all be your responsibility!"
Ren Dazhuang had been a little afraid of Xie Wan before, and now that he knew that she had truly recognized her biological father and that her biological father had sent a car and people to accompany her back for the funeral, he could no longer afford to offend her.
Ren Dazhuang said flatteringly: "Xiao Wan, you are right!
This family are all bad elements and must be reformed through labor.
Starting tomorrow, I will ask the militia to supervise their transformation and assign them the most tiring work in the team."
Now, the three siblings of the Ren family were frightened.
Ren Erya was so mean and asked, "Uncle Dazhuang, is the third child really the bastard born to you and Tao Hongmei? Why are you so partial to her?"
Ren Dazhuang vomited blood.
He pointed at the military vehicle outside and shouted, "You are blind. Don't you see what that is? It's a military vehicle.
Xiao Wan's biological father is the division commander of the army, a high-ranking official, so how can I be her father?"
Now, everyone in the village heard it clearly.
Most people in Renjia Village have bullied Xie Wan to some extent.
When he heard that Xie Wan's biological father was actually a high-ranking officer in the army, he was so scared that he didn't dare to look at her.
The three siblings of the Ren family were also stunned.
They knew that Xie Wan's biological father sent her money every month.
Tao Hongmei used all this money to support the Ren family.
But they didn’t know that Xie Wan’s biological father was actually an official.
The idea that the people should not fight against the officials was deeply rooted in the rural areas. The Ren brothers and sisters dared not make trouble anymore and shrank like quails.
Xie Wan was too lazy to pay attention to these people.
She walked into the room where Tao Hongmei had lived, took a look, and asked symbolically, "Where are my mother's things?"
Ren Erya said: "It's all here."
Xie Wan flipped through it and pretended to be angry and yelled, "You're talking nonsense. How could my mother's things be so few? All the valuables are gone. Did you steal them?"
Ren Erya was so scared that she started to howl again: "No, no, she was robbed when she died.
Everything was turned upside down, it must have been stolen by the person who killed your mother."
When Xie Wan heard that he had been robbed, he felt something moving.
She suddenly felt that Tao Hongmei’s death might be related to the jade ring.
