Chapter 471 A murder case
The young man raised his head, revealing his collar, which was covered with white marks.
There were bumps on his collar, showing how much he had cried before.
When he swallowed his snot and opened his mouth, the first sentence he said shocked Xiao Nuobao.
"My father was involved in a murder case and was sent to prison. The government said... that he will be executed in three days!" The young man clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, and his tears were about to burst again.
Xiao Nuobao's mouth was bigger than an egg.
"Murder case? Could it be that Uncle Qin had a fight with someone and accidentally hurt someone?" She asked subconsciously.
The young man shook his head desperately, "No, it's worse than this."
"Some time ago, two orphans died in the orphanage in the city. Prefect Xu of the prefecture has already solved the case and said that my father is the murderer."
Xiao Nuobao's head was buzzing as if it was about to explode.
Orphanage?
Murder of orphans?
At this moment, Feng and Jiang Fengnian rushed over, and their hearts skipped a beat.
Mrs. Feng's face turned pale. "What are you talking about? Boss Qin was involved in an orphan murder case. What's going on?"
Jiang Fengnian clenched his fists and suddenly realized, "No wonder. When I went to the city these few days, I saw that the doors of your Qincai Ju were all closed. I also asked the surrounding merchants, but when they heard that I was familiar with Boss Qin, they all avoided me. It turned out to be because of this!"
The young man's eyes were swollen from crying, "But my husband really didn't commit a crime. He was wronged."
"On weekdays, he couldn't take me with him except when he went to the toilet. Otherwise, he was with me. I dare to guarantee with my life that my husband would never hurt anyone!"
After saying that, the young man reached into his sleeve and took out a government document.
It had the official seal of Prefect Xu on it.
He sobbed and told her everything that happened that day in detail.
Qin Bu Tong was very kind and generous. He would often give alms to beggars or donate a few thin coffins to charity houses.
However, the place he went to most often was the orphanage in the north of the city.
There were abandoned babies and orphans there. Although it was a government-run place, its daily expenses still depended on donations from the rich.
"The old man often donates to the orphanage. That afternoon, although it was not his usual donation day, the old man felt it was too hot and was afraid that the children in the orphanage could not bear it, so he bought some ice cream and watermelons and asked me to accompany him to deliver them."
"When we arrived at the gate, I stayed outside to watch the carriage. The old man said he would come out after dropping off the things."
"But who knew, he stayed in there for a long time, and I even heard a thud." The young man pursed his lips, "When I felt something was wrong and ran in, the old man had been knocked unconscious to the ground, and the watermelons were all smashed to the ground. Two children were lying beside him. Not only were they dead, but it seemed that all the blood in their bodies had drained out..."
The Jiang family felt a chill down their spines when they heard this.
It was a hot day, and it was as if a piece of ice suddenly stuck to their backs, making them shiver.
Feng took a deep breath, "Did you report to the police immediately?"
The young man wanted to cry, "Don't you think this is strange? I woke up the old man and planned to report to the police, but the soldiers got there first!"
"Because only my old man and I were there, and the manager was gone, we were taken as suspects and arrested together."
"Later, because this was a serious murder case, County Magistrate Tian was taken over by Prefect Xu of the prefecture before he could investigate thoroughly."
"Prefect Xu sent a coroner to perform an autopsy, and it was confirmed that the bloody handprint on the knife handle was from my grandfather. The children from the orphanage also came out to testify, saying that they saw the grandfather swinging the knife and committing murder. This crime was pinned on the head of the grandfather, and there is no way to get rid of it!"
The young man regretted so much that he wanted to slap himself to death. He should have accompanied Qin Bu Tong to deliver the watermelon.
Now, even he doesn't know what the grandfather has experienced in there.
But there is one thing he can be sure of.
From the time the old man went in, he saw the old man fainted, but it only took a cup of tea.
But the two orphans had already bled to death, how could they have died in a cup of tea.
Xiao Nuobao sat on the chair, digging his little fingers into the armrest, his eyes rolling around.
If this is true, isn't it too bizarre?
Mu Yihan listened for a while, put down the book in his hand, and saw the key point.
But he deliberately didn't say it, wanting to let the girl play by herself. After all, in his eyes, the little cotton jacket has long been a living god who can go to heaven and earth and do everything.
Sure enough, his little cotton jacket never got loose.
When Xiao Nuobao raised his head again, Linglong's mind had already moved, and he touched his chin and muttered.
"Uncle Qin went to the orphanage on impulse, so no one would deliberately set up such a trap to harm him."
"Then, there is only one possibility." Xiao Nuobao picked up the short legs of the white radish and said crisply, "Someone must have harmed the child, and Uncle Qin happened to see it, so the bad guy complained first!"
You know, the bloody handprint only needs to be touched, and it is not ironclad evidence.
As for the children's testimony, it is even more difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
The young man cried with joy, and his clothes were soaked. "It's good that the young noble is willing to believe my master. I dare to swear on my head that if I told a lie just now, my body will be exposed in the wilderness."
Seeing that he is so loyal, he is a rare good servant.
Feng sighed and pulled him up, "Child, don't kneel down anymore. You have to save your strength to redress the injustice for your father."
Hearing that the Jiang family was willing to help, the young man not only stood up, but also banged his head on the ground full of stones.
"Thank you very much!"
"If my father can be saved, I will be your slave, even your pig, dog or sheep."
He wiped his eyes and stood up staggeringly until his forehead was about to ooze blood.
Feng felt distressed, "What a sin, who is this wicked person who killed the children for no reason, and killed two children at a time, causing others to suffer."
Xiao Nuobao suddenly widened his eyes.
"The other kids must have been instructed to point out Uncle Qin. There's something wrong with the orphanage! Big brother, quickly prepare the carriage. We'll find out after a trip!"
