Chapter 24: Half-truths and half-falsehoods

Xie Xiuzhu finally got to the key point and restored the moment when the crime occurred.

"When I heard a sound, I opened my eyes and saw my husband with a knife stuck in his chest. He was facing me and wanted to speak, but blood came out of his mouth. I was scared to death." Xie Xiuzhu patted her chest and said with lingering fear.

.

Li Guolou showed his sarcasm, and said with a twitching face: "Xie Xiuzhu, I heard your scream from far away on the street. Since you have so much strength to scream, how can you not eat meat? You should be very sober."

Xie Xiuzhu rolled her eyes at Li Guolou in anger and retorted: "You are not in the room, how can you know my heart? I was scared and sad, so after I screamed, I didn't know anything anymore."

Ai Hai asked: "Xie Xiuzhu, have you seen the person who killed your husband, Wei Wenshao?"

Xie Xiuzhu hesitated and said: "The moment I opened my eyes, a figure had left my husband's side. I only saw the back of the man. He was a big man. I can't remember what he was wearing. I really can't remember.

I, I, I have a terrible headache.”

Ai Hai turned around and glanced at Li Guolou, asking if Li Guolou had anything else to ask. Among the police officers here, Li Guolou had the highest official position, so Ai Hai gave Li Guolou enough face.

Li Guolou asked: "Xie Xiuzhu, who woke you up?"

Xie Xiuzhu said: "It was Xie Ma who woke me up. The maid Xiaoqin was also trembling with fear and did not dare to enter the house. Xie Ma was the brave one."

Ai Haidao: "Is Mom Xie a relative of yours?"

Xie Xiuzhu shook her head and said, "She's not a relative. She just took care of my daily life when we were in Huamanlou. I brought her with me when I got married."

Ai Hai sneered and said: "Oh! I don't see the love and righteousness of the beautiful girl with flowers all over the house. She has raised so many strong men. Which one do you like?"

No one here believes in Xie Xiuzhu. At night, they still watch them play cards in the slaves' room. Could it be that they are looking at men?

Xie Xiuzhu glared and raised her voice: "Captain Ai, you can eat whatever you want, that's your own business. You can't talk nonsense. Although I am very casual with my subordinates, and sometimes I even play cards with them. But how can the relationship between men and women be different?

I'm messing around, my husband, please don't divorce me."

Ai Haidao: "Tell me, how many people have you played cards with?"

Xie Xiuzhu said: "I am a person who knows my identity. I won't play cards with them since my master is not here. That's because my master likes to play cards. When he has nothing to do and lives here, he gets bored and invites us to play cards together. Xiaoqin can't play well.

Okay, I can’t teach it even if I teach it. Usually I thank my mother, and I still

There is Xu Xiaohu. If Xu Xiaohu is not here, Xiao Liuzi and Xiao Qizi can also come up and make up the numbers. My master is very kind-hearted and plays cards with his men just for fun. He doesn’t take money when he wins and pays when he loses. I can’t do that.

, even if they win, they will still be accepted. Master, he..."

Tears welled up in Xie Xiuzhu's eyes. She looked at things and missed people. When she saw the box on the mahjong table, she remembered the scene of playing cards in the past and started to cry.

Li Guolou said: "Xie Xiuzhu, your husband went to Huamanlou to treat guests to drinks. Did he like another girl and want to take her into his inner house?"

At this time, Xie Xiuzhu was speechless and speechless. She hesitated to speak. It seemed that Li Guolou's guess was quite accurate.

Li Guolou asked: "Xie Xiuzhu, deputy general manager Xu Xiaohu, do they always live here, or do they live in two separate houses? How about others?"

The person Li Guolou suspects the most is Xu Xiaohu. He thinks that Xu Xiaohu and Xie Xiuzhu are having an affair. Only Xu Xiaohu here has a good status and is still young and strong. If there is something special about the case, the most suspicious person is Xu Xiaohu.

Xie Xiuzhu sneered and said: "Xu Xiaohu is the best at following the wind. When I first came in, he greeted me every day. Now that I have become an old man, he usually listens to orders at Wang Yixue's house. During this time, Wang Yixue

He was bored when he went back to his parents' home to visit relatives, so he came here to play mahjong with Xiaoliuzi and the others. I can't see him more than a few times a month. I want to find someone good, but I won't find someone like this."

Li Guolou stood in the corner and scratched the back of his head. Are all his reasonings wrong? Xie Xiuzhu and Xu Xiaohu are innocent, but Xie Xiuzhu really passed out. The case is so simple on the surface, but he thinks it is complicated.

.

Li Guolou asked the last question and said: "Xie Xiuzhu, are you pregnant?"

Xie Xiuzhu rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth and uttered the words: "It's because I haven't been pregnant for more than three years that the master said to find another mistress. What should I say about this kind of thing? Who can tell me that I can't live up to my expectations."

Ai Hai asked: "Xie Xiuzhu, let me ask you, if Wei Wenshao is dead, how will you and Aunt Chu divide the property?"

Xie Xiuzhu cried bitterly again, and finally said: "How can I argue with grandma? With this house and 30% of the company's shares, it is the most. I can't see any of the other master's personal belongings."

." After saying that Xie Xiuzhu felt aggrieved, and remembered that most of the benefits had gone to Wang Yixue, she became even more indignant, and started to cry loudly, and it seemed that she would not stop for a while.

The second person to be interrogated was Xiaoqin. She didn't know anything about it. She only admitted that she was lazy and did not wait for the master to return to the house. Like in the past, she kept the door open and asked the master Wei Wenshao to enter the house and close the door by himself. She ran back to herself

I went to bed in the house, and now I don’t even dare to look at the body of Mr. Wei Wenshao.

Li Guolou did not ask Xiaoqin any questions, but stood at the same place and looked at Xiaoqin. However, he saw that Xiaoqin was already quite old, in his early twenties, with an ordinary appearance, but a plump figure, and his whole body was bulging. It seemed that he was well fed and well-dressed.

Okay, not much to worry about. He is a fool without a brain, really.

Is this the case? Xiaoqin doesn’t worry about her future. She will marry any slave in the future. She has seen such maids around her master in big scenes. Is she willing to live an ordinary life with servants like Xiao Liuzi and Xiao Qizi?

?Li Guolou buried his doubts in his heart and listened to Ai Hai's questions.

Ai Hai asked: "Xiaoqin, do you have anyone you like?"

Xiaoqin's face turned red in pain, and Aissi said: "No! Ai Captou, why do you ask this?"

Ai Hai looked Xiaoqin up and down with dishonest eyes, and said in a mocking tone: "Xiaoqin, you are dishonest. I can tell at a glance that you are not a young girl. Your eyebrows have been opened for a long time. You should have tasted what it's like to be a man."

Bar."

Xiaoqin lightly scolded and said: "Bah! Crow's mouth, my master doesn't like people like me. I'm born a little fat, so I don't care about my appearance. I will get married in the future, you can't slander me."

Ai Hai and Ma Dequan laughed together. They did not suspect a maid. Xiaoqin's death of Master Wei Wenshao was just an unintentional mistake. Besides, everyone in the house knew about her temper. No one said anything about her, which meant that Xiaoqin

She is quite pampered. When something like this happens, everyone in the house is responsible and cannot scold an ignorant little maid.

After Xiaoqin was interrogated, Zuofu turned around and wanted to step out of the threshold. At this time, Li Guolou suddenly asked: "Xiaoqin, wait a minute, let me ask you, do you have a crush?"

Xiaoqin turned to look at Li Guolou in the corner and said: "I think there are, but people don't like me. People who don't like me stay around every day, like flies that I can't get rid of. There are still two of them.

.Xiao Lizi, now you understand."

Li Guolou said: "Then Xie Ma's husband Wei Zhuangyong, is he having an affair with you?"

Xiaoqin opened her mouth wide and stared blankly at Li Guolou in the darkness. This person was very dirty, and he could even ask such questions, but how could he let him know anything about it?

Xiaoqin said helplessly: "Xiao Lizi, your eyes are quite poisonous. Wei Zhuangyong is a pervert and always likes to take advantage of me. I can't guard against it. But I didn't have an affair with him. Wei Zhuangyong and I were the ones who took the initiative.

I...make him happy and let him eat a hollow glutinous rice ball."

Li Guolou stared at Xiaoqin's face closely and said, "Xiaoqin, do you like Xu Xiaohu?"

Xiaoqin's face changed and she said angrily: "Xiao Lizi, you are talking nonsense. Xu Xiaohu and I are innocent. He is the kind of person who is higher than me. Would he like a subordinate like me? Do I have any

Self-awareness, unless the master takes me

I gave it to Xu Xiaohu, but if I want to be the first wife, I’m afraid even Xu Xiaohu won’t want to. But I don’t want to be the mistress. The second mistress has suffered too much, so I would rather find someone with a lower level, who will have a lower voice at home in the future.

It can be bigger."

Li Guolou said half-truthfully: "Xiaoqin, I already know which of what you said is false and which is true. Go down, think again, and tell the truth. Otherwise, I'll tell you the truth later.

As soon as it gets light, I will take you to the Yamen for questioning. By then it will not be that simple, just bring the board and the stick together."

Xiaoqin stamped her feet, covered her face and walked away. She was heartbroken and was already crying loudly in the yard. The sound echoed in the night sky, which was extremely terrifying and could scare away nocturnal animals such as owls.

Inside the room, Ma Dequan asked: "Xiao Lizi, are Xiao Qin an accomplice?"

Li Guolou didn't answer the question and said with a smile: "This case is getting more and more interesting. Let's continue. Let's call Xie Ma next. I want to see what tricks this old Jianghu can use."

Ai Hai let out a long sigh and said: "Little Lizi, if you can defeat someone like Xie Ma who can adapt to the wind, I will really admire you. I will not skimp on your ability to scare a little girl."

Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Ai Hai, you clearly saw that Xiaoqin was lying, but you spoke for her instead. Am I so easy to deceive?"

Ai Hai retorted: "Xiao Lizi, this little girl is not married yet, please save some face for her. As for whether Xiao Qin is a yellow girl, you will know after you take her into the room."

The three men snickered a few times, their lewd expressions showing. Don't men like to talk dirty the most? When there was a female topic, they happily showed off their intelligence.
