A moment later, two police cars screeched to a halt outside the yard.
The car door opened, and several serious-looking police officers got out and walked towards them.
"Second brother, the police have really arrived. Li Hehua can't escape now."
Yu Xiangcao's voice was filled with excitement.
She could not forget the woman's repeated humiliations and mockery, nor could she forget the harm and abuse she had inflicted on her family.
"Yes, yes, the police are here. They will definitely be able to find out the real cause of Old Lady Wang's death."
Yu Chengyuan nodded.
Justice may be delayed, but it will never be denied.
Therefore, it's best not to do evil, otherwise retribution might come one day.
"Big sister is right, Li Hehua can't escape now, she can go and reunite with her man in prison."
Yu Ping'an's tone carried an imperceptible joy.
Several police officers approached them, asked a few questions, and confirmed that they had not gone to the wrong place.
Yu Chengyuan took the police officers inside.
After entering the house, Yu Chengyuan pointed to Li Hehua, who was sitting there trembling, and said, "Police officer, that village woman is Li Hehua, and the one lying on the bed is her mother-in-law, Old Lady Wang."
The police nodded, then whispered a few words to each other, which of course no one could hear clearly.
However, Yu Chengyuan could guess that they were definitely discussing the case.
After all, someone dying is no small matter; caution is necessary in all things.
Otherwise, if they make a mistake, they will be punished when they go back.
The one in the lead was slightly taller, with sharp eyes like an eagle. He walked up to Li Hehua first, his voice steady and unquestionable: "You are Li Hehua."
Tell us everything about Old Lady Wang now.
For example, when did you find out that your mother-in-law was dead?
For example, what did your mother-in-law say to you before she died, or did she do anything else unusual today?
Li Hehua's face turned deathly pale, her eyes darted around, and she murmured but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Li Hehua was usually arrogant and domineering, but she was just an ordinary village woman who had never seen anything like it. Of course, she was afraid when facing the police.
It wasn't until the police asked again, "Li Hehua, why aren't you speaking? Please cooperate with our work," that the situation changed.
Faced with the police's stern questioning, Li Hehua murmured after a long while, "Police, my mother-in-law didn't do anything unusual before she died, she was just like usual."
Nothing much happened before she died. She just had a few arguments with me about family matters, and that was it... nothing else.
I am truly innocent! Please, officers, do me justice!
She didn't dare to tell anyone that she had slapped her mother-in-law a few times, so she deliberately kept it a secret.
“Officer, Li Hehua is lying. She didn’t just have a quarrel with my mother; she hit her.”
She admitted it herself; the villagers all heard it.
Yu Erzhu said loudly and angrily.
The tall policeman's sharp eyes swept over Li Hehua. "Li Hehua, do you know what the consequences are for deceiving the police?"
Was what the villager just said true?
Li Hehua trembled with fright and said in a trembling voice, "Officer, I'm sorry, I... I was too nervous just now and forgot to say that."
Why did you hit your mother-in-law?
Did you know that abusing the elderly can lead to imprisonment?
"Officer, I was wrong. My mother-in-law scolded me, and I got angry in a moment..."
Li Hehua was terrified and filled with regret.
Another police officer glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Which one of you is the village chief?"
Zhou Jianguo quickly stepped forward and said, "Police officer, my name is Zhou Jianguo, and I am the village chief of Zizhu Village."
The police officer nodded and asked, "Village chief, please tell us the whole story. Other villagers can also add their information if they have any."
Zhou Jianguo hurriedly poured out everything he knew, as well as everything the villagers had heard.
Meanwhile, the three Yu siblings were also busy, and were each called aside by another police officer to get information about the situation.
Yu Xiangcao poured out her story like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, briefly recounting how she and her fiancé had argued with Li Hehua that morning.
As long as this wicked woman is punished, she doesn't care if she loses face.
Meanwhile, the forensic doctor was meticulously examining Wang's body.
He wore a mask and gloves, and every movement he made was extremely professional.
A moment later, the forensic doctor stood up, nodded to the two police officers, and whispered, "It can be confirmed that she killed him."
The old woman had clearly struggled before her death, and there were scratch marks on her body.
The preliminary diagnosis is that the person suffocated from something.
He then picked up a pillow and pointed to the marks on it, saying, "There are obvious dents on this pillow. The murderer used this pillow to suffocate Old Lady Wang to death."
Upon hearing this, the tall policeman's eyes sharpened, and he looked at Li Hehua again, his tone becoming more serious: "At this point, you still don't intend to tell the truth?"
You'd better confess honestly and try to get leniency.
Li Hehua's legs went weak, and she knelt down with a thud. Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed, "I...I really didn't mean to. I was upset outside today, and when I got home, Grandma kept scolding me. I just couldn't hold back...and then..."
The two police officers exchanged a glance, and they both understood each other's intentions.
Then, they took out handcuffs, cuffed Li Hehua with a "click," and led her to the police car.
