Chapter 55 Found In the evening, Uncle Lu and Lu Jiajie came back. The identity of the old woman in the portrait has been found out. Her name is Hu Ermei, her husband's surname is Yang, and her youngest son Yang Jun works in Jinshi Cotton Mill and is the deputy director of the quality inspection department of the factory. However, Hu Ermei went to Jinshi to take care of Yang Jun's children after the Lantern Festival this year, and has not returned yet.
Lu Jiaxin said: "It's not surprising that she didn't come back. After killing someone, she must have returned to Jinshi quickly so that no one would think that she was the murderer."
Through her original body's memory, she had long guessed that this old woman was not a real human trafficker, otherwise her original body would not have escaped so easily.
Uncle Lu has also thought about this. What he is more worried about now is that the other party will not admit that she went back to Feng County: "It is not difficult to prove that she was not in Feng County during that period. Just ask the people in the cotton mill family building street and you will know. However, she can say that she went to visit relatives or go out for fun. Even if we expose her lies, she can say that she is old and has a bad memory."
Lu Jiaxin really didn't expect this. She thought for a moment and said, "I didn't communicate with the people sitting next to me at the time, so I don't know their names and addresses."
Now is different from the later times. You need to use your real name to take the train. You can check it on the railway bureau computer. If that doesn't work, you can ask for help on the Internet. Now information is not well developed, and it is difficult to find someone without knowing their name and address.
Uncle Lu thought she was oversimplifying the matter: "Even if we find her with great effort, Mrs. Hu can tell the police that she just couldn't bear to stay in the guesthouse. It was you who overreacted and thought she was a human trafficker, and accidentally hit your head while running away."
"Xinxin, that old lady Hu is a very frugal person. When she bought two taels of meat, she would ask the butcher to give her a big bone. When she bought a fish, she would ask someone to give her a piece of ginger. If she said that she didn't stay in the guesthouse to save money, the police might believe her."
Lu Jiaxin was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "We can't convict them of human trafficking, but we should be able to convict them of theft and manslaughter, right?"
Uncle Lu nodded and said, "Given her frugal and stingy nature, if she took your money and valuables, the police would believe it."
Lu Jiaxin thought for a moment and said, "I had more than 300 yuan in cash with me at the time, and the watch that was taken away was also worth more than 300 yuan. For something worth more than 600 yuan, I should be sentenced to several years in prison!"
She knew very well that if the police convicted Mrs. Hu of stealing property, she would not be sentenced to a few years. Now that she was under severe crackdown, Mrs. Hu's behavior was so bad that she would have to stay in prison for 20 years even if she didn't eat peanuts. Lu Jiaxin felt that eating peanuts was a bargain for her, and spending 20 years in prison and suffering torture was revenge for her original body.
Although the person was found, there was no other evidence except Lu Jiaxin, the person involved. The Fengxian Public Security Bureau could only go through the procedure and ask Old Lady Hu to come back to assist in the investigation.
Lu Jiaxin was not worried that the old woman would escape. Once she escaped, the crime would be confirmed and the Yang family would be implicated. Nowadays, whether it is factory recruitment or college entrance examination, political background screening is very strict. This does not include retaliation from the Lu family. With Lu Hongjun's connections, as long as he is willing to stand up for his daughter, Yang Jun can lose his job. So what she has to do now is to wait patiently.
The next day, Xiao Qiu came back from outside and whispered, "Aunt, I just went to find Zaohua, and it's just like what Sister Qing said, Aunt Gen wants her to get married."
"Why would you really marry the son of a commune secretary?"
"No, Mrs. Qing is wrong. He is the son of some deputy secretary of the second airport in the county. He is 21 years old and not very smart."
At this point, Xiao Qiu said uncomfortably: "Zaohua doesn't want to, but Aunt Gen insists that she get married. She has refused to eat since yesterday."
This is preparing to go on a hunger strike. Alas, crying, making a scene, and then hanging oneself, it is really sad to use such a drama on one's own daughter.
Lu Jiaxin felt very sympathetic towards the girl. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Can you ask Zaohua to come out? I want to talk to her."
"She's at home now. I'll go get her."
Lu Jiaxin held her back and said in a low voice, "We can't ask her to come home. Otherwise, if Zaohua doesn't compromise, her mother will think we are the ones who instigated her to come home and make trouble."
Now she didn't know what kind of personality Zaohua had. If she was careless or weak-willed and gave herself away, it would make the first wife uneasy. The matter of human traffickers had already troubled the first and second wives, and she didn't want to cause more trouble for her family.
Half an hour later, Lu Jiaxin saw Zaohua on the hillside behind the village. The girl had dark skin, was about the same height as her, had a long braid, and her hair was shiny black. But she had a sad face and dull eyes.
Zaohua was a little surprised to see Lu Jiaxin. Xiaoqiu just said that she had something to tell her, but it was inconvenient to be at home, so she made an appointment here. She was just about to go to the fields to work, so she turned around and came over.
Xiaoqiu introduced: "Zaohua, this is my aunt. She knows that you have excellent grades and were admitted to the best high school in our county. She said she wants to meet you."
Zaohua saw Lu Jiaxin's fair skin and the beautiful dress she was wearing, and a bitter smile appeared on her face: "So what if she passed the exam? I can't go to school anyway."
Lu Jiaxin asked, "I heard from Xiaoqiu today that the other party is not very smart, but your mother wants you to marry him. If you don't want to, she will go on a hunger strike to force you to do so."
"I won't marry."
Lu Jiaxin said bluntly: "Can you bear to watch your mother starve to death? If your mother really starves to death, her saliva will drown you."
Zaohua's mouth moved several times, but in the end she didn't say a word, just tears fell down.
Lu Jiaxin didn't say anything, just looked at her.
Xiao Qiu supported her and said, "Your mother just wants to use this trick to force you. How could she bear to let your two younger brothers die when they are still so young and haven't married yet?"
Lu Jiaxin still didn't say anything. Even Xiaoqiu understood this principle, so Zaohua was so smart that she knew it even better. It all depended on whether she was ruthless enough to do it.
After a long while, Zaohua wiped her tears and said, "You are right. My mother is reluctant to die. She forced me to marry that idiot so that the family would have money to build a house and my eldest brother would have a job. I would rather die than marry a idiot."
When he said this, there was determination in his eyes.
Lu Jiaxin gave an idea: "Your mother is on a hunger strike, so you should also follow her. This way, no one will say you are unfilial."
Xiaoqiu thought this was a bad idea, but she couldn't think of a better one.
On the way home, Lu Jiaxin saw that she was confused and asked with a smile: "Just say whatever you want to say, so you don't have to hold it in and feel uncomfortable."
Xiaoqiu then spoke out what was in her heart.
Lu Jiaxin said, "She compromised and married this time. If her family has problems in the future, will her mother not come to her house for help? If she doesn't help, she will threaten to die. If she helps, her life in her husband's house may be more bitter than Huang Lian."
Xiaoqiu shuddered. She really didn’t think so much about it.
"She can't compromise, or her life will be over." Lu Jiaxin said. If Zaohua dared to risk her life to fight, she would support her to continue her studies; if she wanted to compromise and get married, she would not interfere.
