Chapter 66
Seeing that he was pointing fingers and talking more and more, Master Helan's face became increasingly ugly. He was worried that his younger brother would suffer losses, so he hurriedly reached out to hold his hand and said, "Third brother! Stop talking! The yamen investigates the case, so naturally he can investigate whatever he wants! It's not our turn to talk!"
Zheng Shan was just a rough personality, but he was not a naughty person. Seeing that He Lanbing looked bad, he knew that the people in the yamen could not afford to offend him and could not suffer the loss in front of him, so he closed his mouth and turned his head to sulk.
Helan Bing folded a fan and sneered at his second brother Zheng Jing: "What's more reasonable about you." Seeing him reaching out to pull Zheng Shan, there was a hole on the outer edge of his palm, his whole hand was red and swollen, and there were traces of herbs smearing around the wound, which turned a little blue, he said casually: "What's wrong with your hand? It's hurt?"
Zheng Jing hurriedly covered his palm with his other hand and said embarrassedly: "Yes, I accidentally drew a cut, the cut was a little deeper, and I applied the medicine, and it's better now."
Situ Ce also took a look. The wound was really deep, and the medication seemed to be not very good, and it was a little infected. He said, "You have to take a good look at this wound, otherwise it will be troublesome if it becomes serious."
"Thank you! Thank you for your concern. I will find a good pharmacy to take a look at it another day."
Situ Ce turned to Zheng Chong and said, "You really didn't kill your wife?"
Zheng Chong's face looked a little ugly and said incoherently: "It's really not! This... I know that the body was found in the toilet. There are also in the pond. I heard... It's very smelly. The murderer is really cruel... But I didn't kill anyone. My wife is very good with me. She must have had something wrong. This, I heard that there are a lot of kidnappers. My wife looks good, but she is very sensible and easy to believe others' words... By the way, some men went to the garment store to buy things and saw my wife, and deliberately teased her with words. Maybe someone would hook her up... That body cannot be my wife. This, how could she chop the body up if she killed someone... It's so disgusting to throw it into the toilet..."
He Lanbing looked at him and just sneered, making Zheng Chong feel a little furious.
Helanbing and Situ Ce came out of the Zheng family, and Helanbing whispered: "There is something wrong with this surname Zheng! Look at him panic after listening to my words!"
Situ Ce nodded: "I told someone to squat and stare at his house. By the way, his father's house should also send someone to stare at him!"
"Do you suspect that he was killing and dismembering people at his father's house?"
"I just saw his house and didn't find anything wrong, so it might be his father's house. No place with suspicion can be let go!"
"Well, why don't we go to his father's house again?"
"Not going now! We have already talked about our suspicions today. Let's see if the movement is happening. Don't even alarm the snake, so as not to further destroy the evidence."
"It makes sense too. - Where are we going now? Go back to the yamen?"
"Let's not go back now. Let's go to the garment store where the Wu family gang lived to see if there are any clues."
"good!"
The two brought the constable to the Liu Clothing Store. After explaining their purpose, Aunt Liu, the shopkeeper of the Clothing Store, hurried out to receive the crowd and gave them to the courtyard behind. They ordered the guy to make fragrant tea.
Situ Ce asked: "Wu has been working in your garment store for a long time. You should know her better, right?"
"Of course, of course I understand." Aunt Liu smiled and said, "The wife of the Zheng family is Wu. She has done a good job of needlework and many people have customized clothes. They have pointed out that she will sew. She has been missing for more than a month and our store has lost a lot of business, which everyone thinks is a pity."
"Where do you think she went?"
"This is hard to say. The head of the family said that she was abducted by the abductee, and then said that she had eloped with someone. We don't know what happened."
"Have she had anything strange before she disappeared? For example, did she say that she didn't want to live with her husband, wanted to go outside to see her, etc.? "
"No! She said that although her husband is not bad, he can marry a chicken and a dog. Since he married him, he can only follow him wholeheartedly for the rest of his life. It's all right or wrong.
"Then have she ever said something depressing that life is boring and not as interesting as death?"
"No! She worked hard and wanted to earn more money. If she had a child in the future, she must let her son live a good life!"
"Oh? Why has she never had children?"
"That's right, we have asked her this in private, and she can't say it out loud," said Aunt Liu, glanced at Situ Ce, smiled strangely, turned her head to Helanbing, and whispered: "But we can hear that it seems that his man is not very authentic, he dislikes her a little, and wants to find a small house, but his family is not well-off and has no money to ask for it. The couple has basically not had any sex in recent years, and sometimes they don't touch her for a month."
"Oh?" Situ Ce and Helanbing looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Zheng Chong and Wu's relationship was so stalemate, which was much more serious than what Zheng Chong himself said. Helanbing said: "Then they are all like this, so why do you have children?"
Aunt Liu said: "The Zheng family's wife said that she always wanted to please her husband and let her husband change his mind so that she could get pregnant. In order to please her husband, she also took a lot of money from the private money she earned for Zheng Chong's second brother Zheng Jing to do business!"
"Is that true?" Helan Bing said, "If this is the case, Zheng Chong should be grateful. Why is it so bad for her?"
"It's not bad. I only heard from the Zheng family's wife that her husband repeatedly told her that she wanted to take a concubine. The Zheng family's wife said that she was still young and could not have a child, so why should she take a concubine? Moreover, the family was not well-off. Her husband helped her to do business and work as a partner. She did needlework and earned some money to supplement the family's income. This would only make it difficult to maintain food and clothing. Taking a concubine costs a lot of money, so where can she find such money? I advised him not to think about this. If she can't give birth to a concubine for ten or eight years, even if her husband doesn't say it, she will take the initiative to help her husband take a concubine. She can't let the Zheng family break up."
Helan's Bingjin Fan hit the palm of his hand and praised: "Are he really a kind and virtuous wife. Zheng Chong is not satisfied with such a wife. Should he find a fairy to be satisfied?"
Situ Ce smiled and said, "Loving the new and getting tired of the old is a common problem for people..."
"So, are you?" He Lanbing glared and slapped the golden slap, slapped twice. "I don't know whose daughter is unlucky in the future. If you marry you, I'm afraid she will suffer like this Wu!"
Situ Ce smiled, without answering, and asked Aunt Liu again, "Does Wu usually have contacts with other men?"
"No!" Aunt Liu said with certainty, "The Zheng family's wife is very polite. Because of this, I always keep her in my store to help with work. Others customize clothes. Because he does a good job and asks her to do it by name, she never comes out to meet customers. After the tailor in the store helps to measure it, she tells her the size and customer's request, and then she follows it. Occasionally, when I come to a male customer, she can't hide, and she always lowers her head and never chats with people. When others talk to her, she doesn't say anything. Also, her money is never spent indiscriminately, and I save all the money I earn."
Situ Ce said: "Wu is rich in you?"
"Yes, she earned it all by doing needlework. She said she wanted to hide some private money for emergencies. There were more than ten taels in total!"
"Oh, so many?"
