Chapter 411: The truth is revealed bit by bit (2)
"Of course it's her!"
"How could it not be!"
"That's her! She's the one you're looking for! She's not my granddaughter, she's your granddaughter! That's her!"
Because of her emotional agitation and her old age, Old Lady Xu looked increasingly insane.
She kept shouting at Qin Jiulie.
"Give me money... give me money! I have raised him for decades and even raised a daughter for him! The money you gave me was just a little bit, and I have already spent it all! Give me money! Give me money! Give me money now!"
Whether it's real madness or pretending to be madness.
The only thing that Old Mrs. Xu could not forget was the money that she was always thinking about.
Those chaotic eyes, emitting golden light, stared at Qin Jiulie, never moving away for a moment.
However, Old Lady Xu did not answer any other questions from Qin Jiulie.
Whether it is asking about the cause of death of the child or any clues that may have been left behind.
Old Mrs. Xu just pretended to be crazy and stupid and refused to say a word even if she died.
The only reply is...
"Give me money, give me money quickly, give me money and I will help you raise the child... raise the child... give me money..."
Qin Jiulie's appearance also alarmed the village party secretary.
The village party secretary accompanied Qin Jiulie to Old Lady Xu's home.
The village party secretary saw everything.
The village party secretary was helpless and could only persuade Qin Jiulie.
"Leader, you have seen what kind of condition Old Lady Xu is in. She has been like this in the past few years in the village. One moment she is lucid, the next she is crazy. Not a single sentence she tells is true. She just wants money from the beginning. I think you should forget about what you want to investigate. You won't find anything."
The village party secretary can just say "forget it" and end the matter.
But Qin Jiulie came here this time with an important mission, and he must find out the truth.
Since Old Lady Xu wouldn't say anything, Qin Jiulie could only use the dumbest method, which was to find someone of the same age and from the same village as Old Lady Xu.
In the past, the village was secluded and people would meet each other everywhere. All the trivial matters of the family would always be known to others.
If Old Mrs. Xu had really abandoned her child, she would have definitely been discovered.
But such an investigation is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
There are two difficulties.
First, it was a long time ago, and most of the people of the same age as Old Lady Xu are no longer alive.
Even those who are still alive are no longer conscious and can no longer remember what happened so many years ago.
second.
Because of the wars in those years, after leaving her original village, Old Lady Xu actually lived in several villages one after another.
In the end, she followed a man and settled in Qingjiang Village.
In other words, many elderly people in Qingjiang Village did not actually know Old Lady Xu.
My impression of her is that she is a middle-aged woman who makes a living with a little kid.
Even so.
Qin Jiulie still overcame many difficulties and investigated the household registration files of the township government, from which he found an old man who was still alive and who lived in the same village as Old Lady Xu in the earliest years.
He visited in person.
The old lady was very old and her memory was fuzzy. She only vaguely said that Old Lady Xu did have a child, a son, who had been taken care of by her side until he grew up...
I don’t know what happened after that.
As for who that child is, there is no way of knowing.
Qin Jiulie's investigation has run into a dilemma.
…
In the living room.
Everyone listened to Qin Jiulie telling these stories.
Jiang Yuanshan and Gu Yunshu also heard about it for the first time. They didn't expect that so many things had happened in the meantime.
Grandpa Qin has been frowning in thought.
He is a strategist who came from the battlefield. Now facing such an important matter, he is even more focused and serious.
Grandpa Qin questioned Qin Jiulie.
"Then, how did you find the breakthrough point?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiulie turned his gaze to Jiang Yuanshan.
Because this breakthrough point is - the living Jiang Yuanshan.
During the investigation, Qin Jiulie quickly realized that his thinking had reached a dead end.
He kept searching forward, but time destroyed all the evidence and he could no longer find any new clues.
What if... the other way around?
He is not going forward, but backward.
Looking back, Jiang Yuanshan is still alive, he is the living evidence.
Because he was the child abandoned by Old Lady Xu, and he looked exactly like Lin Tong back then.
It just came to me in a flash.
Qin Jiulie went to the next county to pick up Jiang Yuanshan and brought him to Qingjiang Village.
At the beginning, he didn't say anything, just said someone asked Jiang Yuanshan for help and had some things to deal with.
Then Qin Jiulie took Jiang Yuanshan to meet Old Lady Xu.
After meeting Jiang Yuanshan, Old Lady Xu went crazy again.
And this time, it was completely and utterly crazy.
She first moved closer and stared at Jiang Yuanshan's face.
Then he waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to believe the person in front of him.
Then there was a crazy laugh.
"Hahahaha...it's fake...it must be fake..."
"Impossible! Impossible! He's dead... He died a long time ago... It's impossible for him to still be alive..."
"Ghost...it must be a ghost...you are a ghost! You should have gone to the underworld and reincarnated long ago, how could you appear again..."
That moment.
Jiang Yuanshan looked at the unfamiliar Old Lady Xu and had no idea what was going on.
He just felt that this crazy old lady was so hunchbacked and scary.
When she had a ferocious expression, her whole face was terrifying.
There was a terrible and cold aura emanating from his entire body.
Old Mrs. Xu kept denying Jiang Yuanshan's existence, thinking he was just an illusion.
but.
Qin Jiulie said coldly in a low and cold voice.
"Mrs. Xu, you treated a baby like that back then. Aren't you afraid that the child's ghost and his parents will come after you to claim your life?"
With a bang.
The whole world was quiet.
Old Mrs. Xu's crazy laughter came to an abrupt end.
a long time.
Old Mrs. Xu, with a hunched back, suddenly fell to her knees in front of Jiang Yuanshan.
She was trembling all over, grabbing Jiang Yuanshan's trouser legs and begging non-stop.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to kill your child. I didn't mean to..."
In Old Lady Xu's eyes, what she saw was no longer Jiang Yuanshan in front of her, but Lin Tong, who was a little younger and wearing a military uniform.
A baby in swaddling clothes, ten silver dollars.
It was received by Old Lady Xu back then.
At that time, Mrs. Xu had just given birth to a baby one month ago and had breast milk.
It was because of this that Lin Tong chose Old Lady Xu as the foster family, as the baby in the cradle must have milk to drink.
At the beginning.
Old Mrs. Xu also wanted to be good to the child sincerely.
But the good times didn’t last long…
