Chapter 24: Half-truths

Xie Xiuzhu finally said the key point and restored the moment of the crime.

"When I heard this, I opened my eyes, and I saw my husband with a knife in his chest, and he was facing me and wanted to speak, but blood was spitting out of his mouth. Scared the hell out of me. Xie Xiuzhu patted her chest and said with palpitations.

Li Guolou sneered, touched his face, and said: "Xie Xiuzhu, I heard your exclamation from far away on the street, since you have so much strength to shout, how can you eat meat." It should be very sober. ”

Xie Xiuzhu was annoyed and white-eyed Li Guolou and retorted: "You are not in the house, how can you know my heart." I was scared and sad, so I screamed and didn't know anything. ”

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

Xie Xiuzhu swallowed: "The moment I opened my eyes, a figure had already left my husband's side, and I only saw the back of that person, a big man, and I couldn't remember what clothes he was wearing." I can't remember, I'm having a headache. ”

Ai Hai turned his head to look at Li Guolou, meaning that Li Guolou had anything else to ask? The arrest here is fast with Li Guolou's official position being the highest, and Ai Hai gives Li Guolou enough face.

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

Xie Xiuzhu said: "It was Mother Xie who woke me up, and the maid Xiaoqin was also so frightened that she didn't dare to enter the house." It's still Xie Ma who is bold. ”

Ai Haidao: "Is Mama Xie your relative?" ”

Xie Xiuzhu shook her head and said: "It's not a relative, it's just that she took care of me when I was in Huamanlou in the past, and when I got married, I brought her." ”

Ai Hai sneered, "Oh! I can't see that the Xiuyu girl who is full of flowers is affectionate and righteous, and she has raised so many strong men, which one do you like? ”

No one here believes Xie Xiuzhu, and they still watch them play cards in the slave's room at night, isn't it to watch men?

Xie Xiuzhu glared, raised her voice and said, "Ai Zhutou, you can eat indiscriminately, that's your own business." Don't talk nonsense, although I am very casual with my subordinates, I sometimes play cards with them. But how can the relationship between men and women be messed up, my husband don't divorce me. ”

Ai Haidao: "Then tell me, which people have you played cards with?" ”

Xie Xiuzhu said: "I'm a person who knows my identity, but the master is not there, so I don't play cards with them." That's when my lord likes to play cards, and when he has nothing to do and lives here, he is idle and bored, and pulls us to play cards together. Xiaoqin doesn't play well, and he can't teach it. It's usually Xie Ma, and Xu Xiaohu. If Xu Xiaohu is not there, Xiao Liuzi and Xiao Qizi can also come up to make up the number. My lord has a good heart, and his subordinates play cards just to have a good time, and if he wins, he doesn't charge money, and if he loses, he gives a photo, I can't do it, and if he wins, he still collects them. He Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· sir."

Xie Xiuzhu burst into tears, saw things and people, saw the box on the mahjong table, remembered the scene when she played cards in the past, and began to cry.

Li Guolou opened his mouth and said: "Xie Xiuzhu, your husband went to Huamanlou to invite guests for a drink, did he take a fancy to which girl and wanted to be included in the inner house?" ”

At this time, Xie Xiuzhu opened her mouth, speechless, and stopped talking, it seems that Li Guolou guessed eight or nine and ten.

Li Guolou asked: "Xie Xiuzhu, deputy manager Xu Xiaohu, always lives here, or does the two houses live separately, what about others?" ”

The person Li Guolou suspects the most is Xu Xiaohu, thinking that Xu Xiaohu and Xie Xiuzhu have an adulterous relationship, only Xu Xiaohu's status here is still good, and he is still young and strong. If there is a hole in the case, the most suspicious person is Xu Xiaohu.

Xie Xiuzhu sneered and said, "Xu Xiaohu knows the wind and the rudder the most, when I first entered the door, he asked for peace every day. Now that I have become an old man, he usually listens to orders in Wang Yixue's house. During this time, Wang Yixue went back to her parents' house to visit relatives, he was idle and bored, so he came here to find Xiao Liuzi and them to play mahjong, and I couldn't see him a few times a month. I want to find someone, but I won't find this kind of person. ”

Li Guolou stood in the corner and scratched the back of his head, was his reasoning all wrong? Xie Xiuzhu and Xu Xiaohu are innocent, but Xie Xiuzhu really passed out, the case is as simple as it seems to be, it is as complicated as he thinks.

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

Xie Xiuzhu rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth and spit out the words: "It's because I haven't been pregnant for more than three years that the master said to find another third grandmother, how do you want me to say this kind of thing, who told me not to be angry." ”

Ai Hai asked, "Xie Xiuzhu, let me ask you, Wei Wenshao is dead, how can you and Aunt Chu divide the family?" ”

Xie Xiuzhu cried bitterly again, and finally spoke: "How can I compete with my grandmother, I have this house, plus the thirty percent shares of the firm are the most, and I can't see any of the other lord's personal belongings." After saying that, Xie Xiuzhu was so aggrieved, and remembered that most of the benefits had gone to Wang Yixue, so she was even more indignant, and she howled and cried, 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, didn't wait for the master to return to the house, as in the past, covered the door, and let the master Wei Wenshao enter the house and close the door by himself. She ran back to her room to sleep, and now she didn't even dare to look at the corpse of her master Wei Wenshao.

Li Guolou didn't ask Xiaoqin a question, but still stood in the same place and looked at Xiaoqin. But seeing that Xiaoqin is already quite old, in her early twenties, her appearance is ordinary, her figure is full, her whole body is swollen, it seems that she eats well and dresses well, and she doesn't have much to worry about. It's a brainless fool, is that really the case? Xiaoqin is not worried about her future, and will marry a slave casually in the future, this kind of maid next to the master, I have also seen big scenes. Is she willing to live a dull life with subordinates 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 a good person?" ”

Xiaoqin's face turned red in pain, and Ai Ess said, "No! Ai Zhutou, why are you asking this? ”

Ai Hai looked Xiaoqin up and down with dishonest eyes, and said in a mocking tone: "Xiaoqin, you are not honest, I know at a glance that you are not a yellow flower girl, your eyebrows and eyes have long been opened, you should have tasted the taste of a man." ”

Xiaoqin took a sip and said, "Phew! Crow's mouth, my lord didn't fancy people like me, I was born a little obese, and I don't care about my eyebrows and eyes. I will marry someone in the future, and you can't slander me. ”

Ai Hai and Ma Dequan laughed together, they didn't suspect a maid, Xiaoqin was just unintentional about the death of the old man Wei Wenshao. Besides, her temper is known to everyone in the house, and no one has ever said anything about her, which means that Xiaoqin is still quite favored. When this happens, the people in the house are responsible, and they can't scold an ignorant little maid anymore.

After Xiaoqin was interrogated, Zuofu turned around and wanted to step out of the threshold, when Li Guolou suddenly asked: "Xiaoqin, wait, let me ask you, do you have a good relationship?" ”

Xiaoqin turned her head to look at Li Guolou in the corner and said, "I want to, but people don't look down on me." People who don't like it, stay by your side every day, and you can't get rid of them like flies, or two. Little Lizi, now you understand. ”

Li Guolou said: "Then Xie Ma's husband Wei Zhuangyong, does he have a leg with you?" ”

Xiaoqin opened her mouth wide and looked at Li Guolou in the shadows, this person is very obscene, and he can even ask this kind of question, but how can he let him see a little way?

Xiaoqin said helplessly: "Little Lizi, your eyes are quite poisonous." Wei Zhuangyong is a pervert, he always likes to take advantage of me, and I can't guard against it. But I didn't have a leg with him, Wei Zhuangyong and I, it was he who took the initiative, meΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Find him happy and let him eat a hollow gnocchi. ”

Li Guolou stared at Xiaoqin's face firmly 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 one level higher than me, will he take a fancy to a subordinate like me?" I am self-aware, unless the lord rewards me to Xu Xiaohu, but if I want to be a wife, I am afraid that Xu Xiaohu is not willing. But I don't want to be small either. The second grandmother has suffered too much, and I would rather find someone who is lower in the next grade, and I will be able to speak louder at home in the future. ”

Li Guolou said half-truthfully: "Xiaoqin, what you said, which ones are false and which ones are true, I already know." Go down, think again, and tell the truth. Otherwise, as soon as the morning dawns later, I will take you to the yamen for questioning, and then it will not be so simple, and the board and the clamp stick will be on together. ”

Xiaoqin stamped her feet, hid her face and walked away, heartbroken, already crying loudly in the yard, the sound echoing in the night sky, extremely terrifying, able to scare away the nocturnal animal owl.

Inside the house, Ma Dequan asked, "Xiao Lizi, is Xiaoqin an accomplice?" ”

Li Guolou replied to the question, and said with a smile: "This case is getting more and more interesting, let's continue, and then let's call Xie Ma." I'd like to see what this old man can do. ”

Ai Hai sighed and said, "Little Lizi, if you can defeat a person like Xie Ma, who sees the wind and rudder, I really admire you." Scaring a little girl, I don't cut this kind of ability. ”

Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Ai Hai, you obviously see that Xiaoqin is lying, but instead speak for her, am I so easy to deceive?" ”

Ai Hai refuted: "Little Lizi, the little girl hasn't married yet, you can save a little face for her." As for whether Xiaoqin is a yellow flower girl, you will know when you enter the room. ”

The three men snickered a few times, and the expression of the color Mimi was revealed, wouldn't the man like to talk obscene things the most, and with a female topic, he was even more happy to show his intelligence.
