Chapter 100 Go with confidence
“Who is it?”
When the tenth clap was made, a rough voice came from inside the door.
Yun Qingqing didn't answer and continued to bang on the door.
A man's cursing voice was heard from inside, and soon the door opened, and a burly man appeared in front of them.
This man had prominent brow bones, a pair of triangular eyes, a toad mouth, crooked shoulders and one foot higher than the other. He should be the Jiang Lame mentioned by Shitou.
"Hey, does this young lady want to talk to me about something?"
As soon as he saw Yun Qingqing, his eyes lit up with an obscene light and he grinned, completely unaware that there were two people, one big and one small, standing beside him.
But Shitou suddenly rushed into the yard, looking around and shouting:
"Mother! Mother, where are you!"
Jiang Guizi was startled, turned around and looked, his face turned cold:
"Isn't this the kid from the widow Wang's family on the next street? If you want to find your mother, go find her. Why do you come to my house to look for her?"
He rushed over while cursing, picked up a stone and threw it hard on the ground.
Shitou asked him loudly with red eyes:
"Is my mother here with you? Hand her over to me! What have you done to my mother?"
The panic on Jiang Guizi's face flashed away, and he raised his foot and kicked the stone viciously.
"What are you talking about, you little bastard! Who has ever seen your coquettish mother? How dare you slander me and beat you to death!"
Just as the kick was about to hit Shitou's chest, Tao Yu suddenly rushed over, pushed him away, and turned around to support Shitou.
"Are you okay? Can you get up?"
"How dare you, little bitch, attack me?" Jiang Guizi was not paying attention and was pushed to the side, stepping back several steps before he could stand firm. He angrily grabbed a fire stick and smashed it down on the two of them.
Tao Yu was so scared that he screamed "Ah", turned his head and pressed the stone to protect him.
Just as the fire stick was about to hit Tao Yu on the back, suddenly a huge force came, and Jiang Guizi cried out, flew two feet away, and fell against the wall.
Yun Qingqing retracted her foot and looked at him coldly:
"This child is just looking for his mother, but you reacted so violently. Are you feeling guilty?"
Jiang Cripple was knocked unconscious by the fall, and stood up with a grin on his face. He looked at Yun Qingqing, who was full of aura, and knew that he would not gain any advantage by fighting, so he softened his tone and said:
"Miss, you don't know that Widow Wang is not a decent woman and seduces me all the time. I can't hide from her, so I got angry when this boy accused me of hiding people."
"You're talking nonsense! My mother is not that kind of person!" Shi Tou was so angry that he wanted to rush up to argue with him, but Tao Yu held him back.
"Don't be impulsive, you can't beat him! How are you going to find your mother if you get hurt?"
After hearing Tao Yu's words, Shi Tou finally calmed down, but he was still glaring at Jiang Cripple.
"Forget it. I am unlucky. I won't bother with this brat."
Jiang Quezi looked at Yun Qingqing and swallowed his saliva, suppressed the lust in his eyes, and waved his hand unwillingly:
"Widow Wang has never been to my yard. Leave now. If you cause trouble again, I will report you to the police!"
Tao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and waited for Yun Qingqing to speak before quickly pulling Shi Tou out.
However, Yun Qingqing said coldly:
"Okay, even if you don't report it to the police, we will! Calculating the time, the police should be here soon."
Jiang Quezi listened to the footsteps getting closer in the alley and looked at her hesitantly:
"W-what? Did you report it to the police?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Yu appeared at the door. When he saw Yun Qingqing, he immediately called out to the person behind him:
"Sir, this is it!"
A constable with tough features and dark skin entered the yard with a team of officers.
"Someone reported that there was a murder here. Tell the truth quickly!"
The black-skinned constable looked around and finally his gaze fell on Yun Qingqing, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Yun Qingqing pointed at the stone:
"He is the plaintiff. His mother was killed by this Cripple Jiang and the body was hidden and destroyed."
When Shitou heard this, his face turned pale. He pulled Yun Qingqing's sleeve tightly and asked:
"How could it be! My mother really...really..."
"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Jiang Lame said hurriedly, "I, Jiang Da, have always been honest and have never hurt anyone!"
As he said this, he stared at Yun Qingqing with a look of injustice on his face and said:
"Are you sick, woman? I have never seen you before and I have no grudge against you. Why did you frame me for murder?"
"You insist that I killed Widow Wang. Do you have any evidence?"
Seeing this, the black-skinned constable also said:
"If you want to accuse me of murder, you must provide evidence. Otherwise, I will have to take you back and charge you with disturbing the peace and making false accusations."
Yun Qingqing pointed directly towards a big tree beside the courtyard wall:
"He was afraid of being found out after killing someone, so he buried the body there. If we dig it up, we will naturally find evidence."
The color on Jiang Guizi's face suddenly drained away.
The black-skinned constable immediately ordered his men to dig the soil.
Jiang Guizi suddenly ran out the door and reached out to push away Yun Qingqing who was blocking his way.
Yun Qingqing dodged and raised her foot, and Jiang Quezi was unable to dodge and was tripped.
The black-skinned constable drew his knife and put it on his neck. He finally dared not move and begged for mercy loudly.
"Sir, please spare me. I know I was wrong, and I had no choice! I was just attracted by her beauty and didn't want to kill her at all. But she insisted on struggling and resisted, and I accidentally hit my head..."
The black-skinned constable frowned and ordered his men to tie up Jiang the Cripple.
The digging officer suddenly stopped:
“Found it!”
The men moved faster and soon dug out a female corpse.
Leng Yu was so frightened when he saw the corpse that he let out a low scream, hid behind Yun Qingqing, turned his head away and dared not look.
The corpse had begun to rot and was a horrible sight, but Shi Tou still recognized it at a glance from its clothes and rushed over, wailing loudly.
Tao Yu was also frightened and her face turned pale, but seeing Shi Tou so sad, she stepped forward and comforted him softly.
The black-skinned constable sighed softly and stepped forward and said:
"My condolences... This is a homicide case. The body must be brought back to the government office for examination by the coroner. Please..."
Yun Qingqing interrupted him and said:
"Jiang Quezi was tempted by a beautiful woman and decided to kill someone and bury the body. The facts are clear and the evidence is irrefutable. There are so many people present who can bear witness to this. There is no need for a child to be brought to the government office for questioning, right?"
The black-skinned detective hesitated for a moment:
"At least one witness is needed to go through some formalities at the government office. Where are the other relatives of this child?"
"Shitou's mother has passed away. He has no relatives or friends now."
"...Then wouldn't that make him an orphan? What will happen to his future life?" The black-skinned detective was surprised and sympathetic, and for a moment he didn't even care about the procedures.
Yun Qingqing looked at Leng Yu and Tao Yu with some deep meaning.
"I have some manpower in Tianming Pavilion, so I can see if anyone is willing to adopt him."
Leng Yu was slightly stunned, lowered his head and quietly took half a step back.
Tao Yu was trying to comfort Shi Tou who was crying uncontrollably. When she heard this, she looked up at Yun Qingqing in a daze.
But she hesitated only for a moment before making up her mind:
"Master, if my brother were still alive, he would be about the same size as Shitou. If Shitou doesn't mind, from now on I will be his sister!"
Yun Qingqing looked at her steadily:
"You should think it over carefully. If you, a weak woman, raise this brother who has no blood relationship with you and send him to school, your life will probably be even harder than before."
Tao Yu's eyes were firm:
"I have lived through the hardest days before. Having many family members around me who depend on each other is a fate that no amount of money can bring. I have thought it through."
Yun Qingqing smiled slightly and nodded towards the big tree in the yard.
"Did you hear everything? Go ahead and don't worry."
Everyone present was startled and followed her gaze towards the tree.
But I only saw the breeze sweeping through the fallen leaves, and no one was in sight.
