Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Treating her as a private property that should not have any thoughts...
Chapter 38
The suspicion on Fu Weikai cannot be easily cleared by just a few words.
Qin Ye and Li Quan first took Fu Weikai back to the Public Security Bureau, and then quickly went to Du Anqing's home, preparing to temporarily detain Du Bao for interrogation.
Before entering Du Anqing's house, I could hear the cursing and shouting from outside the door.
"Tell me, tell me, where did you take Du Zhen? Tell me! Do you know how pitiful Yaya is? She doesn't even drink her milk powder properly, she's almost starving to death... She's your granddaughter after all, don't you really feel sorry for her at all?!!"
Qin Ye immediately recognized that the person speaking was Liu's mother.
Liu's mother probably hadn't met Lei Shun yet, so naturally she didn't know about Du Zhen's death.
The Du family seemed to be unable to bear Liu's mother's harassment. Du Bao yelled at her: "Are you crazy, old woman? A dead girl and a liar, let her starve to death, but you are crazy and treat her like a baby. I told you my sister ran away, my sister ran away, how long are you going to pester us?!!"
Du Anqing chimed in: "Mother-in-law, Zhenzhen is indeed gone. We didn't expect that she would be so cruel as to abandon Yaya and leave."
Du's mother stood aside, looking at the Liu family, then at her own family, with a bitter face and not saying a word.
…
Qin Ye's knock on the door interrupted the argument between the two families.
Seeing her and Li Quan, several people hurried over to greet them. Especially Du's mother and Liu's mother, each holding one of her hands, their eyes full of expectation, hoping that she could bring good news about finding Du Zhen.
Unfortunately, she had to expose the cruel truth: "We found Du Zhen's body at noon today."
“W-What?!!”
Du's mother was so frightened that she fainted on the spot. Fortunately, Qin Ye and Liu's mother were quick to support her and prevent her from falling to the ground.
Liu's mother was relatively calm, but she couldn't stop her tears from flowing down: "Where is the murderer? Qin Gongan, have you caught the murderer? Did the kidnapper think the money was not enough and went back on his word and killed the hostage?"
The night breeze was blowing, and Qin Ye glanced at the people in the yard calmly. Compared with Liu's mother and Du's mother, Du Bao's reaction was too normal.
His face showed no emotion until he noticed her eyes on him, then he finally made a shocked expression: "My sister is gone?"
Li Quan saw Du Bao's poor acting skills and sneered. He picked up the handcuffs and shook them in front of Du Bao: "Stop pretending and come with us. Fu Quezi has confessed to us that you gave Du Zhen's Santana to him. We now suspect that you are the murderer of Du Zhen."
"Impossible! Impossible, Public Security Comrade."
Du's mother didn't care that she was still dizzy. She staggered to Du Bao and opened her arms in a protective gesture. She was unwilling to let the police take her son away: "Xiao Bao couldn't have killed Zhen Zhen. You must have made a mistake. Fu Quezi is lying to you."
Qin Ye stepped forward, forcibly helped Du's mother away, and advised: "We, the police, will investigate who is the murderer of Du Zhen. Don't worry, we will not wrongly accuse a good person."
Du's mother opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
At this moment, Du Bao behind her suddenly said: "Mom, I killed her. I killed my sister."
…
Du Bao's cold tone was more biting than the biting cold wind.
He pushed aside Du's mother who was trying to block his way again, stretched out his hands to Li Quan, and confessed his guilt frankly: "Ever since the police came to my house, I knew this day would come."
Mother Du covered her chest, her face pale, obviously unable to accept this fact: "Xiaobao, you...Zhenzhen, she is your biological sister! How could you have the heart to do that to her?"
"Who told her to listen to the old witch?"
Du Bao pointed at the tearful mother Liu and said with gnashing teeth, "If you want to blame someone, blame this old witch! It's all her fault for not allowing my sister to buy good things for me, and not allowing my sister to run the business left by my brother-in-law!"
Liu's mother knew the Du family's character best.
When she heard Du Bao's curse, she had no intention of swallowing her anger. She rushed up and wanted to scratch Du Bao's face: "You bastard! Why should we give you our Liu family's business? ! ! Zhenzhen is blind and let you, an ungrateful wolf, kill her!"
Snap——Snap——
A slap hit Du Bao's face before Liu's mother could.
Everyone looked at Du Anqing who had beaten Du Bao.
Du Anqing pointed at Du Bao and cursed, "Asshole! Asshole! How could you kill your sister?!"
Cursing, he raised his arm again, as if he wanted to hit Du Bao again.
Du Bao hugged his head almost at the same time, taking a defensive posture.
Qin Ye saw Du Bao's skillful movements of protecting himself, and she couldn't help but look at Du Anqing twice more.
Du Anqing still had his arm raised, but when he saw her looking at him, he quickly put it down, wiped the cloudy corners of his eyes, and choked up, "It's a misfortune for our family, it's a misfortune for our family - after something like this happened, how am I going to live in the future?"
It is indeed a tragedy that a daughter was killed and buried by her son.
…
However, Du Anqing's performance made Qin Ye suspicious.
According to the villagers, Du Anqing is old-fashioned and conservative. He is the most patriarchal person in the whole family and even in the whole village, and he especially loves Du Bao.
Every time Du Bao made a mistake, no matter whose fault it was, Du Anqing would stand up for Du Bao unreasonably.
In Qin Ye's opinion, Du Anqing's reaction when he learned that Du Bao had killed Du Zhen was a little too abnormal.
The other party seemed to immediately accept the news that his son had killed his daughter, and he demonstrated his "fairness" by beating his son.
But Du Anqing was not a fair person to begin with, and his actions seemed like an attempt to distance himself from the matter.
Of course, all this is just Qin Ye’s guess now.
She had no way to immediately prove that Du Zhen's death was also related to Du Anqing.
She chose to temporarily suppress her guess and planned to take Du Bao back to the Public Security Bureau for interrogation to see if she could find any new clues from him.
…
When Qin Ye and Li Quan brought Du Bao back to the county public security bureau, the police from the Criminal Investigation Department had already completed the interrogation of Wei Kai.
The red Santana that Du Bao sent to the repair shop was also taken back to the bureau by Hu Xuan from the inspection department for blood testing in the car.
"Here, Qin Ye, this is Fu Weikai's confession."
The police officer from the Criminal Investigation Division handed the transcript to Qin Ye and glanced at Du Bao with a cold look. "Fu Weikai has confessed. The person who killed Du Zhen was indeed not Fu Weikai. The blood test results in Santana should be out soon. When the time comes, I will let Hu Xuan take you directly to the interrogation room."
Qin Ye took the transcript, thanked the police from the Criminal Investigation Department, and took Du Bao into the interrogation room.
She walked and read through Fu Weikai's confession.
The confession was very detailed. Fu Weikai couldn't say how much he liked Du Zhen, but he liked the money in Du Zhen's hands.
After Du Zhen ran away with Yaya, he had given up hope. Unexpectedly, Du Bao suddenly came to tell him that Du Zhen did not seem to have run far, and someone saw Du Zhen's car in the village near the old house.
So, Fu Weikai gathered his friends and started looking for Du Zhen near the old house where Du Zhen rented.
They searched around the old house for several days but could not find any trace of Du Zhen. Just at this time, Du Bao came again and told him that Du Zhen had run away to another place alone, and even abandoned her newborn baby on the wasteland.
Fu Weikai had no doubts at all, and Du Bao was willing to give him Du Zhen's red Santana as compensation, so he happily accepted it.
Two days later, Fu Weikai saw the missing person notice posted by the Liu family and thought about extorting more money so that he could drive away and start a new life somewhere else.
From beginning to end, he didn't know that Du Zhen had been killed.
…
Qin Ye closed the notebook and looked at Du Bao opposite him: "Tell me, how did you find Du Zhen hiding in the old house?"
Du Bao hung his head, kept picking at the dead skin on his fingertips, and said in a muffled voice: "Everyone in my family cares about face. I know my sister would never run back to the Liu family before the New Year. She doesn't want her mother-in-law to know about my family's scandal, so she will definitely find a place to hide secretly."
Du Zhen had just finished her confinement and was very weak, so it was impossible for her to drive too far with the child.
"She was driving a red Santana, which was very eye-catching, so I secretly asked people about it. On New Year's Eve, I heard from people buying things at the supply and marketing cooperative that a red Santana had been appearing near their village recently."
Du Bao revealed the news to Fu Weikai, hoping to use him to find Du Zhen effortlessly.
At this point, he called Fu Weikai a loser again: "Who knew he was so unreliable? I couldn't find my sister after searching for several days, so I had to go out on my own. On the third day of the first lunar month, the day you found Yaya in the wasteland, that morning, I went to look for my sister nearby and happened to see her leaving the yard to get some water."
Without saying a word, he rushed forward and wanted to take Du Zhen home.
Du Zhen said she didn't want to go back no matter what. She knew that once she returned, she would be forced to marry Fu Weikai. She didn't want to marry Fu Quezi, and begged Du Bao not to reveal her whereabouts.
"I knew she had money, so I threatened her to give me all the money. Of course, I also wanted her car. She refused to give it to me, so I got angry and stabbed her and took the car keys."
Du Bao raised his hand, put his five fingers together, and made a stabbing motion. "She ran away with her money-losing goods. I drove after her and dragged her into the car. After a while, she died, so I buried her in the old house she rented."
…
Qin Ye patiently listened to Du Bao's story, wrote it down in his notebook, and then asked: "After Du Zhen ran away, when did you drive to chase her?"
Du Bao was slightly startled, but quickly replied, "Of course I chased her immediately! She was smart and knew to run to the side road. I went around in circles for a long time before I found her hiding in the wasteland."
"Oh? Really?"
Qin Ye screwed the pen cap on and looked at Du Bao with a half-smile, "Then why did the people of Waping Village see the red Santana turn back twice and drive towards Dujia Village?"
From the old house where Du Zhen rented to the wasteland where she hid, no matter which way she took the road, it was impossible to pass by Waping Village.
However, if you drive from the old house to Dujia Village, Waping Village is the only way.
Du Bao didn't expect that there would be witnesses on the road. He was silent for a long time before he said, "I said, I'm lost."
“Nonsense!”
Li Quan slammed the table heavily. "No matter how lost you are, you can't drive to Waping Village, right? Are you fooling around here?!"
Du Bao looked up at the two of them, muttered "I forgot", and was unwilling to reveal another word.
…
There was silence in the interrogation room for a moment.
Until Hu Xuan knocked on the door from outside and handed in the inspection report: "In addition to bloodstains on the back seat of the car, there were also tobacco fragments. I also found trace amounts of tobacco fragments around the wounds of the deceased."
Qin Ye glanced at the inspection report and found that the tobacco crumbs were not from cigarettes sold in the supply and marketing cooperative, but from the dry tobacco that the farmers usually made themselves.
Dubao does not smoke.
It can even be said that among the people who are close to Du Bao and Du Zhen, only one person smokes tobacco - their father, Du Anqing.
Qin Ye understood and looked at Du Bao again, shaking the report in his hand: "Du Bao, the person who killed your sister was your father, right? He panicked after stabbing her, and drove your sister's car home to find you and ask for help. That's why your sister's car turned back twice."
Du Bao still didn't say anything. He scratched his fingers even harder, not daring to look her in the eye.
His reaction fell into Qin Ye's eyes. Qin Ye was more and more certain that his guess was correct, and asked again: "Did you do it voluntarily, or did your father force you to take the blame for him?"
"Du Bao, don't think that we can't do anything to you just because you don't speak."
Li Quan stood up from his seat. "We now have evidence. We can bring your father back for questioning immediately. When the time comes, both of you will have to go to jail. Guess how the villagers will laugh at your family behind your back and bully your mother, a woman?"
Li Quan grew up in the village and knew that villagers were most afraid of being stabbed in the back, especially in a village like Dujia Village where family ties were close.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Du Bao's eyes began to waver.
He knew it best himself. Those relatives flattered his family in every way because they saw that his sister married well and had money. If both he and Du Anqing went to jail, Du's mother, a person from an outsider family, would be bullied in the village.
…
"My dad...my dad didn't mean it."
Du Bao finally gave up resisting and said, "He just wanted to scare my sister, but he didn't expect my sister to really pounce on him and get stabbed in the stomach."
On the second day of the first lunar month, he unexpectedly ran into Du Zhen coming out of the old rented house. He was afraid that if he showed up rashly, Du Zhen would run away with the child overnight, so he secretly returned home and told Du Anqing about Du Zhen's whereabouts.
Early in the morning on the third day of the first lunar month, Du Anqing went to the old house alone to find Du Zhen.
In Du Anqing's opinion, a woman must find a man to live with. If she becomes a widow and raises a child like Liu's mother did, she will be criticized by the villagers.
He couldn't stand his daughter being laughed at by the villagers, so after his son-in-law Liu Hao passed away, he had been planning to have Du Zhen remarry.
The family conditions of the person who remarries cannot be too good, and the person cannot be too smart. After all, Du Zhen has no opinion of her own. If the new son-in-law is too powerful and swindles Du Zhen of her money, then the Du family will have a hard time in the future.
After a few visits, Du Anqing fell in love with Fu Quezi.
Unexpectedly, Du Zhen, who had been obedient since childhood, refused to listen to him this time no matter what.
After Du Anqing found Du Zhen in the old house, he began to curse Liu's mother in front of her. He was convinced that it was Liu's mother who had drugged Du Zhen, causing her to think of becoming a widow and raising a child.
Du Zhen couldn't stand his cursing of Liu's mother, and said bluntly that Liu's mother treated her as well as her own daughter.
The reason why she didn't want to remarry was that she wanted to be single and raise Yaya in peace. She was worried that Yaya would be bullied after she remarried.
Du Anqing couldn't understand Du Zhen's thoughts at all.
In his eyes, his children are his private property. Children should do whatever he says and should never challenge his authority!
What's more, my granddaughter Yaya is a money-loser! For the sake of a money-losing guy, Du Zhen refused to marry and even caused the Du family to be secretly stabbed in the back by the villagers. It was simply ridiculous!
Du Anqing picked up the kitchen knife from the chopping board and pretended to kill Yaya, hoping to force Du Zhen to agree to remarry.
He didn't expect that Du Zhen, who was always gentle and timid, rushed up and tried to snatch the knife from his hand in order to protect Yaya.
During the argument between the two, the knife stabbed into Du Zhen's abdomen.
Du Anqing was dumbfounded on the spot. He quickly took away Du Zhen's car keys and said that he would go home and call Du Bao to help Du Zhen treat her injuries.
…
Du Bao's face became increasingly gloomy when he said this: "When my father drove me back to the old house, my sister had already run away with the child in her arms, injured."
Perhaps she was afraid that Du Anqing wanted to hurt Yaya, so she fled the old house with injuries.
Du Anqing and Du Bao immediately drove to chase after her and found Du Zhen, whose injuries had worsened, in the wasteland.
"My sister was barely alive at the time, so my father and I carried her into the car. I was just about to go to the grass to look for Yaya when I heard my father calling me, saying, 'My sister is dead.'"
Du Anqing panicked on the spot and forced Du Bao to find a solution immediately: "Hurry up and find a solution! I have loved you for twenty years. This time I accidentally killed your sister, and it was all for you! If I didn't want to get your sister's assets for you, how could I kill her?!!"
Du Bao has listened to Du Anqing since he was a child, and his father's words are like an imperial edict to him.
So he used all his life's wisdom and finally came up with a "good idea".
Du Bao ignored Yaya in the wasteland and drove back to the old house with Du Anqing. They buried Du Zhen in the yard, creating the illusion that Du Zhen had abandoned her daughter and escaped from marriage alone.
He also specially gave Du Zhen's Santana to Fu Quezi. Before that, he did not forget to send the car to the repair shop for a thorough cleaning.
Even if the police have suspicions in the future, the first person to investigate will be Fu Quezi.
But Du Bao did not expect that Fu Weikai would have evil intentions and send a kidnapping letter to Liu's family, which led to the police arresting Fu Weikai as soon as possible and intercepting the Santana in the city that had not yet been fully cleaned up by the repair shop.
…
The next morning, Qin Ye and Li Quan went to arrest Du Anqing.
When the handcuffs were put on his wrists, he was still cursing at his wife: "Great! Great! Look at the good daughter and son you raised! One of them is seeking death and causing me to go to jail, while the other one refuses to take the blame for me. If I had known this would happen, I should have drowned them in the urinal as soon as they were born!"
Du's mother stared at Du Anqing with tears in her eyes. For the first time, she felt that the person next to her was so strange.
In the past, she just thought Du Anqing was a male chauvinist and she endured it.
When Du Anqing favored boys over girls, she didn't say anything; when Du Anqing asked Du Zhen for money, she didn't say anything; when Du Anqing forced Du Zhen to remarry, she also didn't say anything...
She didn't expect that her tolerance made Du Anqing believe that he was the "king" who could control this small family at will.
In Du Anqing's eyes, Du Zhen's act of running away with the children challenged his authority as the head of the family. In the end, he chose to accidentally kill Du Zhen and bury the body, and even asked his son to take the blame for him.
When Du's mother thought of this, she couldn't bear it anymore.
She picked up the freshly fermented farm manure in the corner and threw it at Du Anqing: "Go to hell! A beast like you should be shot by the police!"
Isn't it a matter of face? She just wanted Du Anqing to be covered in farmyard manure, to be laughed at by the whole village, and never be able to rest in peace until his death.
Poor Zhenzhen, she will never come back.
…
The case came to an end. When Qin Ye opened the live broadcast room again and connected with his client Melinda, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
At first, she thought it was a murder for money.
Unexpectedly, it was just Du Anqing's tragedy caused by his desire to save face.
He was feudal and conservative, and achieved nothing in most of his life. The only thing he was proud of was that his daughter Du Zhen married a rich man. He sucked Du Zhen's blood to make himself and his son look good.
In his eyes, his daughter was never a living person with a soul, but a puppet that should be controlled by him.
He was dissatisfied with Du Zhen's awakening. He wanted to firmly control Du Zhen's money, Du Zhen's future and even Du Zhen's life.
Unable to grasp it, he chose to destroy it.
…
"Thank you, Officer Qin."
Melinda's face soon appeared in the live broadcast room. Her eyes were red, but the corners of her lips still had the same smile as before. "Thank you for letting me know that I have never been abandoned by my mother. I am a child born out of love."
Her grandmother and her mother are both very good people.
In that era full of male chauvinism, her grandmother and mother were delighted by her birth. Her mother protected her with her life, giving her the opportunity to grow up.
After Melinda learned the truth about being "abandoned", she chose to return home and report to the police.
At first, the police thought she was joking. It was not until the police actually dug out Du Zhen, who had long since turned into bones, from the old house that the murder case from many years ago finally came to light.
In Melinda's current world, the police also successfully arrested Du Bao and Du Anqing. The two lived in fear for many years, but ultimately could not escape legal sanctions.
"Officer Qin, this time when I returned to China, I also found my grandma."
Melinda picked up the framed photo on the table and held it in front of the camera to show Qin Ye, "She is really a very wise and thoughtful woman. I believe that in your world, I will grow up just as healthy and happy as my grandmother."
Qin Ye looked at Liu's mother, who had white hair but a smiling face in the photo, and curled the corners of his lips along with Melinda.
She also believed that Yaya in this world would grow up happily and safely with Liu's mother.
The live broadcast room was closed, and Qin Ye's ears once again rang with the prompt sound of the system task completion - [The commission to find Melinda's biological parents has been completed, reward: a small courtyard in the county town]
…
As winter passed and spring came, Qin Guman and Qin Ze successfully opened a tailor shop in the county town, and Sun Jinfeng also went to work in the textile factory.
Qin Ye lied that the small courtyard in the county town she got after completing Melinda's commission was rented cheaply from someone she knew.
In order to facilitate work, she and her family moved from Juexing Village to the county town.
On the day of departure, almost everyone in Juexing Village came to see him off. Even the usually sour aunt-in-law stopped being sour and smiled awkwardly: "Ye Ye is promising. She has moved her whole family to the county town."
The other villagers also nodded.
I'm so envious. I used to laugh at the Qin family for having a hard time. Look at it now, Sun Jinfeng has gone to work in a factory as a worker! The Qin family father and son also opened a tailor shop in the county town, and I heard that their business is booming!
Since the aunt-in-law didn't say anything sarcastic, Qin Ye naturally smiled at her good-temperedly and waved goodbye.
The family drove the ox cart borrowed from the production team and headed to the county town with their bags.
On the way, Sun Jinfeng smiled happily and shared with her family what she had seen and heard while working in the textile factory: "There are two pretty girls in the factory. The skirts they wear are all made by themselves. They are very beautiful. Ye Ye, when your mother finishes work this month and gets paid, I will buy some cloth for you and ask your father to make one for you."
Sun Jinfeng has only been working for a few days, but the changes are visible to the naked eye. She has become much more outgoing.
Qin Ye was pleased with her change and agreed immediately: "Okay, then I'll thank you first."
"No thanks, no thanks. Let me see which girl I can ask for a blueprint proof."
Sun Jinfeng thought carefully, "I'd better ask Liang Xiaoju. She's cheerful every day and seems easier to get along with than Xiang Tian."
drop--
The commission reminder sounded in Qin Ye's ears again: [I received a commission from Liang Bing. Please help me find out the truth about the death of my sister Liang Xiaoju. 】
