Chapter 29 Suspicious Points in This Case
Lin Yuesha was still angry when she saw her stepbrother, who was being taken advantage of, trying to smooth things over again. She couldn't help but retort, "You always want to play the good guy. It's not like we're talking about you."
As her stepbrother, he should be on her side, like two peas in a pod. It's one thing to be a nice guy all the time, but why would he side with her when it really matters?
The villagers, unaware of the truth, didn't pay much attention to Lin Yuesha's comments, waiting for the truth to come out.
But Wang Pozi was different; she mocked her for not having a father, that old hag!
"Oh my god!"
Granny Wang slapped her thigh and continued watching the commotion, completely unaffected.
Xiao Qi's eyes darkened. He only felt momentarily satisfied arguing with an old hag like Granny Wang. He didn't like to confront people directly.
It's better to be low-key in life, to strike unexpectedly and catch the enemy off guard, to deliver a fatal blow decisively and cleanly.
What's the point of showing off with words?
However, Xiao Qi wouldn't tell Lin Yuesha any of this; he had to maintain his image as a nice guy.
Lin Yuesha was only briefly angry and decided to remember the incident for future revenge. Her focus then returned to the cause of her older cousin Chen Dahua's death.
"Officer, look at the bruises on the back of my daughter's neck. How can you be sure she wasn't strangled and then hung from the tree?"
Lin Yuesha revealed the suspicious points she had discovered to Chen Xiaohua, who then told her mother.
Wang Jinhua immediately stepped forward and requested the coroner to conduct a second autopsy.
"This might have been caused by someone pinching him."
The coroner looked down carefully and saw that Chen Dahua did have a bruise behind her ear, but that did not prove that she had been strangled and then hung from the tree.
Although there are suspicious points in this case, it seems more like a suicide out of shame.
After all, being in such a remote place makes it more likely that she's having a secret rendezvous with her lover.
The officers unanimously agreed that Chen Tieniu was being unreasonable and had brought them no benefit whatsoever, making them run around in the cold weather. Therefore, they were very rude.
"Officer, my daughter has been gone for so long, and the Ma family hasn't sent anyone to inquire about her at all."
Wang Jinhua wiped away her tears. She still wanted to go to the Ma family with the officials to demand an explanation and to bolster her courage.
"That's your family matter."
The leading officer was already quite impatient. The coroner said there was nothing unusual about the body and he didn't understand what the Chen family was insisting on.
"Officer, my sister would never do anything like cheating on me."
Chen Lin gritted his teeth and stuffed some loose silver into the head constable's hand, saying, "It's freezing cold, please get some wine to warm yourself up."
Chen Lin was humble and subservient, while the officials were arrogant and haughty. Lin Yuesha watched all this and felt a chill run down her spine.
Human life is at stake, yet it was easily dismissed with mere words.
Lin Yuesha reminded herself that she had already traveled through time.
In modern society, with its advanced technology, even the slightest clue can become crucial evidence. Autopsies, DNA testing, and other advanced methods are constantly emerging.
Here, human life is cheap, and the lives of ordinary people are even less valuable. Who cares about strangers?
Lin Yuesha clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
Yes, the officials and the coroner were unwilling to continue investigating the case, so in the end, the death of Cousin Chen Dahua could only be concluded as suicide out of shame for having an affair.
Putting aside the fact that Chen Dahua died with her eyes wide open in disbelief, the Chen family would never be able to hold their heads high in the village again, and the marriage of her second cousin, Chen Xiaohua, would also be affected.
What should we do? What should we do?
Lin Yuesha was getting anxious. She wanted to express her opinion, but no one paid attention to what a little girl was saying.
