Chapter 96: Even the tightest mouth can be pried open by him
"What's going on?" Su's father and mother looked confused.
"Mom and Dad, there's a thief in our house!" Su Chen said indignantly.
Su Wan was also a little shocked. A thief came? She didn't even sense it. If Su Chen and Jiang Yu weren't there, what would she do?
"This matter is not simple. Let's bring the man into the house first and interrogate him slowly. Don't alert the enemy!" Jiang Yu saw that this was intentional and there must be someone behind it.
"Also, go and see what's going on with Wangcai." Jiang Yu said to Su Chen again.
This matter is full of doubts. It must have been well prepared, and fully prepared.
Su Chen also felt strange:
"Yeah, why isn't Wangcai humming tonight?"
He walked into the yard and called Wangcai twice, but no dog answered him. He ran to the doghouse built for Wangcai and saw that Wangcai's body had become stiff.
"Wanwan, Jiangyu, Wangcai is gone!"
When Su Wan heard this, he also ran to the yard and took a kerosene lamp to check. He saw Wangcai's body and there were no signs of being beaten or killed, so he must have been killed by poison.
Her brows were tightly furrowed, but the dog was very lively during the day.
"Someone must have planned this in advance. Has this bastard appeared near our house today?
And who came to our house today? Logically, Wangcai was tied up in the yard, so he couldn't have gone out to find food. That means someone came in and fed him medicine beforehand. If they had given him the medicine then, it wouldn't have taken effect so quickly; it would have taken time. So this person must have had an accomplice!"
She was not at home during the day, so she didn't know who had come. It must have taken quite a while for Wangcai to take the medicine and see its effect. After nightfall, she heard him humming in the yard for a while, but no one paid attention because he usually hummed happily.
Father Su was at home all day today. He thought carefully about who had come to his house, and finally only one person came to his mind.
"Old He came by this evening and asked us to go to his house for dinner and help out on his daughter's wedding day!"
It was a coincidence that Village Chief He had been here. Su Wan already had the answer in his mind.
"Dad, is there anyone else besides him?"
"No, no one else has come except him. But it couldn't be your Uncle He. He and I have the best relationship and he would not harm me."
Father Su trusted his brother very much and subconsciously denied his suspicion.
"Dad, didn't we talk about going to his house to help the other night we had a drink? And we also talked about it the day you went to pay back the money. There's no need to come over and say it again. This is a bit like trying to cover up one's own faults. It's not that I don't trust Uncle He, but people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. They may not be good people just because they appear to be good people. And I remember that night when we had a drink, Uncle He repeatedly asked you if your family was really getting better. Isn't that strange? Why do I feel like he doesn't want our family to get better?"
Su Wan spoke frankly and said that she would not rule out his suspicion just because Su's father had a good relationship with him.
Moreover, Su Wan knew his little thoughts. Now that the Su family had paid off their debts, they didn't owe anything. How could he use favors to get things done in the future?
"Impossible. Your Uncle He and I grew up together. When we were young, we were so close that we could wear the same pants. It is impossible for him to harm me, let alone be jealous of me." Father Su was still stubborn.
At this time, Jiang Yu tied the man up and came out of the house.
"Whether he ordered it or not, we'll know after the interrogation. As long as he's not a desperate criminal, we can always pry open his mouth!"
Jiang Yu walked out of the room while straightening his messed up cuffs. The tone of his voice gave people a sinister feeling, as if he was a living devil.
Su Wan couldn't help but think of the Jinyiwei in the TV series who were responsible for interrogating criminals. Their methods were ruthless and they were confident.
Father Su was a little panicked. He didn't dare to think about how he would face him in the future if it was really his good brother who ordered him to do so.
Su's mother noticed her husband's mood and patted his back to comfort him:
"Let's ask first, what if it's not true?" In fact, Su's mother didn't quite believe it either.
If it was really Lao He who ordered it, then what was his motive?
Only Su Wan knew this motive, but she couldn't say it out loud.
Everyone entered the house. Su Yun and Su Yi were still unconscious. The thief was tied up by Jiang Yu with a cloth stuffed in his mouth. When the kerosene lamp was lit, his face was clearly visible. No one had seen him before.
"This person looks unfamiliar, as if I have never seen him before. Could he just be a thief who stole things?" Father Su asked.
"That's impossible. If he was just passing by to steal something, he could have poisoned our dog in advance." Su's mother thought it was impossible. He must have been targeting them for a long time.
The thief looked quite brave. He was not panicked at all when facing so many people surrounding him.
"Uncle and aunt, why don't you let me handle the interrogation? I can pry open even the tightest of lips. If that doesn't work, I'll beat him half to death and report him to the police. He'll suffer enough in jail.
You tell me, it's so cold now, if someone is beaten half to death, left with injuries, and then thrown into the government office and locked up for several months, is he still going to survive?"
Jiang Yu will show you how to say the coldest words in the calmest tone.
Sure enough, when the thief heard this, his eyes were filled with fear uncontrollably.
"Okay, then you can try him. Thank you for your help, Mr. Jiang!" Father Su didn't know how to handle this matter, so he simply handed it over to Jiang Yu.
"It's my duty. It's no trouble."
Jiang Yu answered with a smile and gave Su Wan a meaningful look.
Su Wan didn't understand what he meant, and her mind was completely focused on this thief, not thinking about anything else.
Jiang Yu walked up, pulled the cloth out of the thief's mouth and threw it on the ground. He dragged a stool and sat directly in front of him with a very cold expression.
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
“No one ordered me to do that!”
He is still a tough guy and doesn't want to talk, but the person he meets is Jiang Yu, and he has ten thousand ways to make him talk.
"You are not from this village, yet you are still so protective of your master at the critical moment. Let me guess, you must be a gambler who owes a lot of money."
The thief was stunned when he heard this, thinking, how did he know
"You have calluses on the pads of your thumb and index finger. The calluses on your thumb are thicker than those on your index finger. This is from years of rubbing the numbers on the cards. The thumb bears the most pressure, so naturally the calluses are the thickest. I've seen many gamblers with hands similar to yours. And since you're left-handed, these calluses are all on the pads of your left hand. When I subdued you just now, you habitually used your left hand to block first!"
Jiang Yu had amazing observation skills. Su's father and mother looked at each other in confusion. Su Wan was also curious and began to listen carefully to see how he would interrogate him next.
