Chapter 191: Pretending to Suicide by Hanging
Li Zhi chimed in, raising her eyelids and her gaze fell on Liu Fu's mother, who was standing at the back of the crowd. "Are you the mother of the girl who hanged herself?"
Mother Liu pushed through the crowd, walked up to her, stopped, and nodded, "I am."
"Was there anything unusual before your daughter died?" Li Zhi asked.
Mother Liu thought about it carefully and shook her head. "No, she has been working in the city. This time she happened to have a holiday so she came back to stay for a few days."
"She seemed to be in a good mood, chatting and laughing, enjoying everything she ate. She even brought us a lot of gifts. She didn't seem to be worried about anything..."
"Yes, and Xiaohui doesn't have a boyfriend, so it's impossible for her to be heartbroken." Liu Fu's wife also came over and added, "She also told us that her boss valued her and gave her a promotion and a raise. She was so happy when she said that, and she even gave me and my mom 500 yuan each."
Li Zhi raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, you said that someone who had nothing wrong with her even got a promotion and a raise, why would she be so upset that she would hang herself?"
She paused and continued, "Besides, if she really committed suicide, why didn't she write a suicide note and arrange for all her money and property to be given to her family?"
After hearing what she said, the villagers realized that it was true.
"Yes, I saw Xiaohui yesterday morning when I was at the beach. She was chatting and laughing with me, and she even shared the breakfast she brought with me."
"Hey, don't mention it. I've met him before and even chatted with him for a while. He certainly doesn't seem like someone with something on his mind."
Liu's mother didn't believe that her daughter, who had always been cheerful and optimistic, would suddenly become so depressed that she would hang herself.
But from the time the incident happened last night until now, after witnessing the death of his daughter, he couldn't bear the shock and fainted. After waking up, he kept crying and had no mood to think about anything else.
After calming down and listening to Li Zhi's words, he subconsciously clenched the towel in his hand and said slowly, "Miss, are you trying to say that my Xiaohui didn't commit suicide by hanging, but was murdered by someone?"
Li Zhi nodded, "That's right."
"Miss, do you know who killed my Xiaohui?" Liu's mother asked again.
"I know." Li Zhi turned around and pointed at A Bin, her voice slightly cold. "He's the murderer, the village chief's son. He killed your daughter first, and then made it look like she had committed suicide by hanging."
As soon as these words were spoken, they hit the ground like a grenade, catching everyone off guard.
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on the village chief and his son, and they began to talk at once.
"No way, how is this possible? The person who killed Xiaohui was Abin from the village chief's family?"
"How do you know the murderer is the village chief's son? You can't just say that. You need evidence."
"Yeah, could it be that you saw it with your own eyes?"
"Hey, haven't you noticed that the village chief and Abin haven't said a word since they arrived?"
Mother Liu grabbed Li Zhi's hand, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably, and asked, "Miss, is everything you said true?"
Li Zhi hummed, "It's true. No matter how much I say, everyone will still have doubts. It's better to let the father and son tell you the truth in person."
Before she finished speaking, she moved her fingertips slightly, releasing the restraints on the father and son.
"Don't slander me like that. Liu Hui's death has nothing to do with me!"
After saying this, Abin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and realized that he could speak again.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to look at the village chief beside him, subconsciously reaching out to pull him, "Dad, I can speak now!"
Abin paused, lowered his eyes to look at his hands, and said in surprise: "Dad, I can move too!"
The villagers who were gathered around him couldn't help but ask after hearing his incoherent words:
"Abin, what are you talking about?"
"What's this? It can talk, it can move. Could it be that it's also possessed by evil spirits?"
"Why didn't you and the village chief talk just now? Did something happen?"
"Abin, did you really kill Xiaohui?"
A Bin's expression tensed up, and he was about to deny it, but he blurted out, "Yes, I killed him!"
Suddenly, the village heads' eyes changed when they looked at him, and their expressions were all filled with shock and astonishment.
"Oh my God, it's true!"
"How could this be possible? I grew up watching Abin, how could he do something like murder?"
The village chief was shocked to hear Abin admit it so easily. He looked at him with disbelief. He didn't expect that he would confess without being beaten.
"What are you talking about, crazy?!"
A Bin raised his hand to cover his mouth, shook his head, and said in horror: "I don't know, Dad, I didn't mean to say that... I didn't expect Liu Hui to die, I didn't mean to kill her..."
The village chief's pupils trembled, and he immediately realized what was going on. He looked at Li Zhi again, his face frighteningly gloomy, and said in a firm tone: "It's you who did it again!"
Before Li Zhi could say anything, Liu's mother suddenly threw the towel in her hand at Abin, and then slapped him in the face.
She pointed at him with trembling fingers, her eyes filled with undisguised anger, and cried out in tears, "You beast!"
"How could you do such a thing? How did my Xiaohui offend you? You actually want to kill her. You will not have a good death!"
"I didn't mean to kill Liu Hui. She rebelled against me. I was careless..." Before Abin could finish his words, the village chief beside him covered his mouth tightly.
"Shut up!"
“Mmmmm…”
The village chief looked up at the villagers who were staring at him, his eyelids twitching, and he quickly explained: "Abin is possessed by evil spirits and is talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously. Liu Hui's death has nothing to do with him."
The villagers were not stupid, so they naturally didn't believe what he said.
"Village chief, please don't try to scare us. This is not the kind of nonsense you can expect from someone possessed by a demon."
"That's right, don't even think about shielding your A-bin. If you kill someone, you have to plead guilty and go to jail."
"Oh, I think we should call the police and let them handle it."
The village chief's heartbeat was throbbing, and he wanted to say something else when he suddenly heard Li Zhi's voice.
"Village Chief, I see you knew from the beginning that your son had killed someone, right?"
The village chief frowned, and naturally wanted to deny everything in his heart, but he still told the truth in detail.
"Of course I know. Last night, Abin rushed home in a hurry. After I noticed something was wrong, he confessed to me that he accidentally killed Liu Hui under my questioning."
"In order to prevent him from going to jail, I faked Liu Hui's suicide by hanging."
