Chapter 14 What Sin
The next day, Hu Yifa and his wife came again, and this time they were accompanied by two policemen.
Perhaps because the police were around, the couple was much bolder than yesterday and went straight to Lu Neng's house and knocked on the door.
But I knocked for a long time but no one answered. I don’t know if it was intentional.
Then the police came and knocked on the door, with the same result.
After an hour of stalemate with no response, they had no choice but to go to the village chief to coordinate the work.
Lu Zhengde was working diligently in the fields. When the police came to his door, he had no idea what had happened.
"Comrade police officer, what brings you to our Xiaoshi Village?"
"Hello, we'd like to talk to Comrade Lu Neng to help us investigate something, but no one answered our knocks just now. I wonder where he is now?"
"Ah? Lu Neng is in poor health and rarely goes out. He should be at home." The village chief was a little unsure.
The people who were watching the excitement in the field next door stopped what they were doing when they saw the police coming and pricked up their ears to listen to what was happening here.
Hearing them talking about Lu Neng, the man immediately interrupted, "When I left home this morning, I saw that although his door was closed, there was still a fire in the kitchen. There must be someone home."
Someone who was more familiar with Lu Daliu responded, "It seems that Lu Daliu did not go out today. There is no one in his field."
"It seems his grandson didn't see it today either."
"The whole family hasn't been seen going out."
The people working in the fields nearby became more and more excited as they talked, almost starting to chat.
"Comrade police, what crime has happened to his family?"
"I didn't expect that Lu Neng, who looks so skinny and weak, would get into trouble."
"Who can say for sure? There's a young man in the next village who looks like a decent person, but he does that kind of thing in private. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
The aunt also directly cared about other things, "Young comrade, is your work hard? Have you found a partner? I know a few very good girls. Do you want me to introduce them to you?"
The police were surrounded by the enthusiastic aunts and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Later, the village chief rescued them.
The village chief found it strange that their door was closed in broad daylight.
People in Xiaoshi Village usually do not close their doors during the day.
"Uncle Daliu, are you home? I, Zhengde, have something to ask you. Please open the door."
He shouted twice, but no one answered.
Then someone else called out, "Lu Neng, are you home? Why did your house suddenly close? Is there something wrong?"
"I have something to ask you, could you please open the door for me?"
After knocking for a few minutes, a weak voice came from inside, "Village Chief, my family is not available today. Let's talk about it another day."
"Lu Neng, if you're home, please open the door for me. I hear you sound unwell. Is your illness getting worse?"
"Your uncle and aunt are here if you need anything. Don't fight it alone."
"We can talk about this another day. If you feel unwell, open the door immediately and I'll take you to the city."
Lu Zhengde heard the voice in the room was much weaker than before, and he was a little worried. "Are you still taking the medicine? If it doesn't work, I'll take you to the city to get another prescription."
"Village chief, I'm fine. It's just an old illness. You can go back."
"Alas." The village chief looked back at the others embarrassedly, "Comrade police, I'm really sorry, look at this situation——"
The police officer looked at Hu Yifa and his wife and asked, "How about we come back another day?"
Wang Xiufen was a little anxious. "Comrade police, we just want to do a paternity test with his child. If he's not feeling well, can we talk to other family members or the village chief?"
Lu Zhengde didn't know what was going on. "What child? What happened to the child?"
After learning that the couple's child was taken away by mistake, the village chief began to understand their anxious attitude.
"The child's matter is indeed a big deal. How about I ask for you again?"
He turned around and wanted to try knocking on the door again, but unexpectedly the door was suddenly opened.
Lu Neng staggered out holding his wife covered in blood, shouted "Village Chief" and then fainted.
After that, there was a chaos and several people carried the person while pressing the bleeding wound and ran towards the village entrance.
Fortunately, the couple came here today by car, so they could use this car to transport the injured.
If we use the village's ox cart, we don't know how long it will take to get the person there.
Because both the couple were taken to the emergency room, the village chief had to bite the bullet and sign the family form.
Not long after, the nurse from the emergency room suddenly ran out, looked at the village chief, and ran to the police with a serious face and whispered a few words.
The expressions of several people became equally serious.
Wang Xiufen thought the two people in the emergency room were in critical condition and became a little anxious, fearing that something might go wrong with their child at this critical juncture.
"What happened?"
The two policemen exchanged glances, and the thinner one called the village chief aside. "How much do you know about Comrade Lu Neng's family?"
"Their family doesn't go out much, and I only had a good relationship with Lu Neng when I was a child." The village chief was a little nervous.
"What's his temper like? Does he get into fights impulsively?"
"Ah? Officer, how could Lu Neng have gotten into a fight? He couldn't even breathe when doing any heavy work, and the doctor kept telling him to stay calm." The village chief hurriedly explained, "Could he have fainted because of a fight?"
"Lu Neng had some injuries, but they weren't enough to make him faint. However, his wife's injuries were much more serious, and they weren't ordinary injuries."
"Ah, this-this, this, did the doctor make a mistake?" The village chief was confused and didn't know what to say.
The police didn't say anything more.
Two people are still being rescued.
Lu Neng's injuries were relatively minor and he woke up not long after.
His wife was seriously injured and bleeding profusely, but fortunately the bleeding had stopped and she would slowly wake up after the anesthesia wore off.
The two people were assigned to different wards because of the severity of their injuries.
After he woke up, he grabbed the village chief's hand and asked to see his wife, "Village chief, how is my wife? How is she now?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Your wife has survived the emergency treatment. They arranged her in another ward to prevent her from getting infected."
The village chief didn't dare to speak too loudly, because even if he woke up now, he was in very bad condition and seemed like he would faint at any time.
"You should have a good rest. We can talk about anything after you get better."
Several people turned around and wanted to leave, but they didn't expect him to suddenly speak.
"I knocked my dad unconscious. He should still be lying on the floor at home."
"I gave Tianci sleeping pills, and he doesn't know anything."
"What—" The village chief looked at this childhood friend and for the first time felt like he didn't know him. "What's wrong with you? Why are you talking nonsense?"
"Don't I know what your temper is like? If you have anything to say, wait until your injury heals before you talk."
"Village chief, please let me speak. After today, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to speak anymore."
"Comrade police officer, if you have any questions, please ask. If I know anything, I will answer it."
The police looked at each other and took out the notebook, "Is Lu Tianci your biological son?"
"No, my wife gave birth to a daughter. I replaced her with someone else's son while no one was paying attention."
"Were you instructed to do this? What is your purpose?"
Lu Neng thought for a moment and said with a wry smile, "No one told me to do that. Only by giving birth to a son can the family line be passed on, so I replaced my daughter with a son."
"I am guilty, I plead guilty."
He took the initiative to stretch out his hands and confess his guilt.
The village chief was standing by, anxiously wanting to say something, but he didn't dare to speak freely.
Hu Yifa and his wife also looked at them nervously.
The police were not in a hurry to arrest him. Instead, they continued to interrogate him, "Do you know anything about the unusual injuries on your wife?"
This time, Lu Neng remained silent for a long time.
The police asked again, "Do you know?"
"Informed."
"Did you do this?"
"Comrade police officer, my wife and I only slept in the same bed after we gave birth to our daughter."
"Which injuries are you asking about? New or old ones?"
Instead of answering directly, he asked the police a question.
"If it's a crime for me to secretly swap a child, then is it a crime for a father-in-law to sleep with his daughter-in-law?"
He spoke out his doubts word by word, his dark eyes staring at the policeman in front of him, as if trying to find an answer to their previous painful lives.
