When Xia Zhiqiang saw Xia Weian, he seemed to have found his backbone. He staggered to his feet, rushed over and grabbed Xia Weian's arm.
Xia Weian was so frightened by Xia Zhiqiang's actions that he almost threw him out.
"Third brother, you are finally back. What should I do? My father is gone too. What should I do?"
Xia Zhiqiang kept muttering these few words.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xia Weian couldn't just throw the man out. He raised his hand and patted Xia Zhiqiang on the shoulder, then pushed the man out, one step away from himself.
"Second brother, take care of Dad's funeral first. We can deal with the rest after eldest brother comes back."
"Wow! What should I do? My dad is gone, and I will be without a father or a mother in the future." Xia Zhiqiang became more and more sad as he thought about it, and he could not hear what Xia Weian said at all.
Xia Weian naturally had no mood to comfort Xia Zhiqiang. He could still vividly remember how he had treated him in his previous life.
Xia Weian looked at Tian Guihua who was standing stupidly beside him.
"Second sister-in-law, help my second brother back to his room to rest."
Tian Guihua staggered forward when her name was called, but she couldn't even help Xia Zhiqiang.
"Xia Ziheng, Xia Zichen, you two come and help your mother." Xia Weian said coldly.
Xia Ziheng and Xia Zichen shuddered at the same time. They didn't know why, but when they looked at their third uncle, they felt a little scared.
The two brothers hurried forward and helped Xia Zhiqiang back to the room.
Xia Zhiqiang fell down on the kang, his eyes still a little dull.
Tian Guihua followed him into the room and looked at Xia Zhiqiang. She was so nervous that she started crying.
"Dad, please don't get hurt. If you get hurt, what will happen to our family?" Tian Guihua sobbed.
Xia Zhiqiang just felt it was too noisy, so he waved his hand and fell down.
Tian Guihua screamed and the people in the yard rushed over to check.
Xia Zhiqiang has fainted.
"Go and call the barefoot doctor over." Someone shouted.
The guy who was fast on his feet had already run out to call a barefoot doctor.
Wang Yousheng and Huang Dewang also arrived at Lao Xia's house. Looking at the messy yard, Wang Yousheng sighed several times.
He came here with Huang Dewang after he finished presiding over everyone's work today.
Who would have thought that just as Old Mrs. Xia passed away yesterday, Old Man Xia hanged himself today.
This old man and old lady don't usually seem to have such deep feelings for each other, so why...
Wang Yousheng sighed and exchanged glances with Huang Dewang.
"I'll go in and see how Zhiqiang is doing." Huang Dewang said as he walked in.
Wang Yousheng and Xia Weian were outside greeting everyone and expanding the mourning tent a little.
Xia Jianguo hasn't come back yet, and Xia Zhiqiang is like this again, so Xia Weian has to go out to help old man Xia find funeral supplies.
Wang Yousheng looked at the things in the yard and made sure that they were almost done. He sent the others to work in the fields and left three militiamen to help.
Not long after, Xia Weian and a few young men brought the coffin over.
Wang Yousheng couldn't help but sigh again, "Weian, let's change your father's clothes."
Xia Weian shook his head and said, "Let's wait for the police to come and check before we change."
Wang Yousheng was stunned. "Weian, what do you mean? Do you suspect your father didn't hang himself?"
Wang Yousheng's eyes were filled with shock.
Xia Weian nodded.
"I know my father's character. He's selfish. Even though he and my mother have lived together for these years, from what I know about him, he would definitely not commit suicide for my mother."
Wang Yousheng shuddered. He really couldn't bear to think about who would want to kill Old Man Xia, an old man whose wife had died.
As the two were talking, Shen Weidong drove to the door of Xia's house.
Early in the morning, Shen Weidong received the news that Old Man Xia had hanged himself, and he immediately sent Xia Jianguo back.
Xia Jianguo was still confused when he walked in. He didn't know why his parents were gone in just two days, and his father had hanged himself.
"How is this possible? Impossible, my father couldn't have hanged himself, absolutely impossible, is there something wrong?" Xia Jianguo asked in a trembling voice.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yousheng looked at Xia Weian. It seemed that there might be other reasons for Old Man Xia's death.
Xia Weian walked up to Shen Weidong.
"Director Chen, I don't know if the forensic doctor has arrived. Ask him to check my father as well. My father is not the type to hang himself." Xia Weian said.
"Here I come."
The forensic doctor hurried forward to examine the body. This examination was not serious. The forensic doctor himself was shocked. He stood up and walked in front of Shen Weidong.
"Chen Ju, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
"Okay." Shen Weidong responded, and he and the forensic doctor walked to the place where the person was carried.
The medical examiner whispered, "This old man was clearly strangled to death and then hung. There are two strangulation marks on his neck. Although the second mark was deliberately placed along the first, you can still tell the difference between the deeper and lighter marks."
Shen Weidong waved his hand, indicating that he understood, and asked the forensic doctor to make a good record.
Shen Weidong walked a few steps to Xia Weian.
"Weian, when did you come here?"
"I came here after sending the children to school this morning," Xia Weian replied.
“Where’s your second brother? I want to question him.” Shen Weidong looked into the yard.
"He fainted..." Xia Weian was also helpless. These people in the Xia family were really helpless.
Shen Weidong took a deep breath and said, “Then let your eldest and second sister-in-law come out. I have something to ask them.”
"Okay." Xia Weian responded and called Zhao Meilan and Tian Guihua over.
"Did you two hear anything last night?"
Both of them shook their heads; they heard nothing.
"Did the children hear anything?" Shen Weidong asked.
Zhao Meilan and Tian Guihua looked at each other and called their children over.
Shen Weidong asked again, and the children all shook their heads.
They both went to bed very late last night and fell asleep as soon as they lay down, so they didn't hear any noise outside at all.
Shen Weidong frowned, that is to say, there was no sound of fighting, which meant that the person who came was acquainted with Old Man Xia.
Shen Weidong walked to Old Man Xia’s door and looked carefully to see that there was no sign of damage to the door, which made Shen Weidong more determined in his thoughts.
He felt that the biggest suspect was Jiang, the leader of the Revolutionary Committee.
not good!
An idea flashed through Shen Weidong’s mind, and he turned and strode out.
Xia Weian followed immediately.
"Director Chen, what happened? Can I help?" Xia Weian asked.
Shen Weidong opened the car door and said, “Get in the car and come with me to do something.”
Xia Weian responded and got into the car directly.
Shen Weidong stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car sped away, heading straight for the Revolutionary Committee office.
When they arrived, Comrade Xiao Jiang had taken the team out to do some work. Only his colleagues who followed him knew where they had gone.
Director Guo of the Revolutionary Committee personally received Shen Weidong. He said cheerfully, "Director Shen, is there anything that requires the cooperation of our Team Leader Jiang?"
