Um?
If it's true, then it's not just a casual chat.
Zheng Dachang dropped his head in shock and stared at Ye Xiaozhen.
Ye Xiaozhen didn't even look at him.
"If this is true, then of course it counts."
Zheng Dachang was scared at this moment. He was so anxious that he was incoherent. "The rest of this damn girl is talking nonsense. She was only as big as a hairless mouse at that time. What could she know? This heartless thing is just biting me randomly."
The village chief spoke up, "I also suspect that they discovered something unusual and took money from Ye Zhengguo to keep quiet."
He made his own guess.
Then Grandma Liu recounted what happened that year.
Although these are all speculations and there is no evidence, people still listen to them.
Zheng Dachang didn't understand so much. He didn't know that in order to convict someone of this kind, evidence was needed, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
"I...I didn't. My father took the money. I didn't take any."
Good guy, originally they had no evidence, and even if he insisted on confiscating the money, there was nothing they could do to him.
Finally, he couldn't stand the pressure and admitted it himself.
What he didn't know was that no matter who received the money, his admission would prove that they knew about the crime but did not report it, and were shielding the murderer.
Who is a court lawyer?
Ordinary people cannot guard against the rhetoric of these people.
Especially for someone like Zheng Dachang whose psychological quality is not that good.
After a few words of guidance, he confessed.
"It was my wife who changed my sister's clothes for burial. She found something wrong with her neck and asked my parents to check it out. Later I also went to check it out and it was not right. Then I pulled Ye Zhengguo over to kneel in front of my sister's coffin and asked him what was wrong.
Ye Zhengguo refused to speak at that time, and my father and I beat him up before he became quiet. He cried and said that my sister couldn't stand the pain, so she fell off the bed and broke her neck. It looked like the neck couldn't be broken by a fall.
But Ye Zhengguo, that bastard, stuffed a passbook into my father's pocket. When my father saw the money, he said nothing. He asked Ye Zhengguo to leave first, and we had to discuss it. My father said that since his daughter was gone, he could still get some money. He should forget about it and treat it as if he had really fallen.
Comrade, this matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't take any money. It was all my father's idea. My father has a bad temper and the whole family has to listen to him. I can't do anything about his decision."
"What about your father?"
"My father died a few years ago. This man has no debts. You can't arrest him, right?"
He was so smart that he thought he could blame everything on a dead man.
But he didn't expect that his statement had already been taken, and in the near future he would be sitting in the dock like Ye Zhengguo.
Perhaps because this matter was exposed, Zheng Dachang suddenly became quiet and sat aside without saying a word.
Ye Xiaoqiang and the other two were mumbling something to each other, and they would glance at Ye Xiaozhen from time to time.
The court date was not announced and was postponed.
After a while, a staff member came to tell Ye Xiaozhen that Ye Zhengguo wanted to see her.
Of course, whether she wants to meet him or not depends on her own willingness.
Things have come to this point. The staff said that if Ye Zhengguo could find his conscience and persuade him to hand things over himself, the case would be much easier to handle.
The meaning is still to advise Ye Xiaozhen to persuade him well.
Ye Xiaozhen understood what they meant.
This case happened more than 20 years ago, and Ye Zhengguo and Sun Qing were at the murder scene. Now they each have their own version of the story, and they are in a difficult position.
"Okay, I'll go see him." Ye Xiaozhen said.
Xie Linan stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Ye Xiaozhen looked at the staff, and when she saw that they were right, she nodded in agreement.
Ye Zhengguo was placed in a separate room. As a murder suspect, he was shackled on his hands and feet and forced to sit on a special chair, unable to move.
With a shaved head and wearing a prison uniform, he looked particularly ferocious.
After they were brought in, the staff left and considerately closed the door for them.
Ye Xiaozhen and Xie Linan sat down on the chairs opposite him.
Ye Xiaozhen looked at him and spoke slowly, "I heard you wanted to see me?"
Ye Zhengguo nodded and looked at her with red eyes, "Xiaozhen, Daddy is sorry for you, sorry for you. I am also sorry for your mother. I have dreamed of her every night these days. In my dreams, she scolded me, beat me, and blamed me. I am sorry for her. I will not be able to see her even if I die..."
Ye Xiaozhen didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so she said to him, "If you really feel sorry for her, tell her what happened that day."
"I have been a good friend, and I am telling the truth. I didn't kill your mother, it was that bastard Sun Qing who killed her."
Xie Linan said sarcastically: "Don't try to deceive Xiaozhen. I think you don't want to die. You want to avoid the death penalty and deliberately avoid the main issue. Mother-in-law's neck was broken by someone. Sun Qing doesn't have that much strength."
Ye Zhengguo said excitedly, "It really wasn't me. I never thought of taking her life. She is my wife. I hoped that she could give birth to the child safely, forgive my mistakes, and live with me well. But I didn't expect that she was too excited that day. No matter how I persuaded her, she kept yelling. I was worried that she would wake up Mrs. Zhao, so I hugged her tightly from behind and covered her mouth. It was Sun Qing. She rushed over to help, but ended up suffocating Xiaoqin to death."
No one knows whether he died first or his neck was broken.
It was so chaotic and they were so scared that they didn't even know it.
At the same time, Sun Qing was discussing this matter with her lawyer.
She wanted to see Ye Xiaoqiang and Ye Xiaochun, who were also next door at the time.
"Mom, did you kill Zheng Xiaoqin, or did Dad...Ye Zhengguo kill her? You have to explain clearly. If you lie, you will never be able to get out."
Sun Qing knew about the young woman who was sentenced to be shot for hooliganism in the newspaper a few years ago. During the days she was in prison, someone found some old newspapers and showed them to her.
She knew that if she killed Zheng Xiaoqin, she would most likely not survive, and the best case scenario would be life imprisonment.
Thinking of being imprisoned and killed, she might as well be shot. Twenty years later, she is a good man again.
This time, she will be born into a good family.
So she was determined to drag Ye Zhengguo into the water.
"Of course it was Ye Zhengguo who killed him. He was very vicious and could even kill his own wife."
Ye Xiaoqiang and Ye Xiaochun looked at each other.
They were given a job to do. They were sent in to persuade Sun Qing to be honest and surrender.
It has come to this, they can no longer care about their grandchildren, they can only hope to be able to stand on their own feet and that the lives of those who are alive in the future will be better.
“But they say it was done by someone else.”
