The entire dining hall of the inn fell silent. No one could have imagined that this mother, who already knew about her son's murder, could still pretend to have just found out when she reappeared.
How cruel can this person be?!
Is this really her biological son?
“Yesterday morning, Qiangzi went out. At noon, I hung a ribbon on the tree at the gate of the yard. That was my secret signal with Lao Liu. If the ribbon was hanging, it meant that Qiangzi had gone out. If it wasn't hanging, it meant that Qiangzi might come back at any time.”
"Qiangzi clearly said he was going to the beach for at least ten days, but he came back that night. At that time, Lao Liu was at my house and Qiangzi happened to run into him. Qiangzi was going to kill Lao Liu with a knife, and Lao Liu started fighting with Qiangzi. The first time Qiangzi found him, Lao Liu wasn't prepared, so he was easily subdued. But afterwards, he was always ready, carrying a small knife on his person. I was afraid he would hurt Qiangzi, so I told him to point the knife at me."
"Qiangzi was afraid I would get hurt, so he didn't touch Lao Liu. Lao Liu just held me hostage and walked to the door. Suddenly, Qiangzi threw the kitchen knife at me and pulled me over. He did it so fast that Lao Liu was almost hurt. I could tell that Qiangzi really intended to kill me, so I pretended to be in pain and faint. Qiangzi came over to help me. Just then, Lao Liu used a rope from the yard to strangle Qiangzi from behind."
"Qiangzi was immediately strangled to the ground, and then Lao Liu used a bit too much force, and Qiangzi just died like that."
“Princess, Lao Liu really didn’t mean to kill Qiangzi. He was just terrified by the kitchen knife that Qiangzi threw at him, so he didn’t control his strength properly.”
Zhong kept explaining to Butcher Liu.
Everyone around was stunned. The one who died wasn't someone else's son, it was your own son!
Your own son was worried about you and went to help you up. You could say he was killed by his lover because of you, and now you're speaking up for his lover?
"Sister Zhong! Is Qiangzi really your son?" Du Sanniang asked, voicing everyone's unspoken question.
Zhong looked at Du Sanniang suddenly, her eyes completely different from the initial trust and reliance, as if she had become a different person. Du Sanniang frowned.
"What's it to you?" Zhong's tone was no longer the same as before.
Du San Niang was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Not to mention Du Sanniang, even Gu Xin was a little confused. How did Zhong Shi suddenly become such a different person?
Could it be that she might encounter the schizophrenia that her sister and Renren had told her about?
Gu Nian and Gu Ren told Gu Xin about a case involving dissociative identity disorder, where some people become a different person after being traumatized.
Gu Xin believed them wholeheartedly; she always felt that Gu Nian and Gu Ren seemed to know a lot of things.
To be precise, she believed that Gu Nian knew a lot and had heard a lot of things from others. The reason Gu Ren knew was because Gu Ren often pestered Gu Nian to listen to stories.
"Mrs. Zhong, is Qiangzi your biological son?" Since Mrs. Zhong did not answer Du San Niang, only Gu Xin could ask.
Whether she has a split personality or not, Gu Xin doesn't know right now, but after talking to her for a while, she should be able to determine it.
Lu Zheng looked thoughtfully at Madam Zhong and then at Du San Niang. He felt as if he had heard someone mention a case in his past life that was somewhat similar to the one in front of him.
