Chapter 118: Suspect Again
It was already night, and as the darkness completely enveloped the entire Chenjiaao Village, the village had fallen into silence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, the people have always followed the law of sunrise and sunset, and almost no one will go out at night.
People seem to have long been accustomed to the same life, going to bed early and waiting for tomorrow dawn to get up and do things. It seems that tonight will pass in the tranquility of the same long nights as before.
But there are always exceptions, and on this night, the villagers who had just fallen asleep were woken up by a scream. And when they were all a little dazed and still wondering what was going on, another deep voice exploded in the quiet night sky: "Villagers of Chenjiaao, the suspect who killed Chen Yang has been caught by us!" ”
"What?" All the villagers were stunned when they heard this, so they got up from the bed one after another, opened the door of the house with their clothes on, and ran out to see what was going on.
Although many of them had accepted the opinion of the patriarch Chen Bo, thinking that it was Cai Yingyang of the Cai family who killed Chen Yang, many people still had some doubts in their hearts. Now I hear someone say that the murderer has been caught, so naturally he wants to come out and see what he understands.
In the dark village, only the lights in front of Chen Yang's house were on, and people naturally ran there. As soon as they arrived there, after seeing the situation there, everyone was surprised, and then some men showed ambiguous and snickering smiles, because they saw at a glance that Chen Yang's wife, who was coveted by all the men in the village, was lying on the ground wearing only a suit of obscene clothes and pants.
Then, they turned their eyes to the other people, and their faces showed surprise: "Chen Qi...... There are still a few poor masters, why are you still in our village......"
Next to Chen Yang's wife, there was also an embarrassed Chen Hong with a bare upper body and only a pair of shorts, and beside them, there were several strong men with cold smiles on their faces, who were the county officials who came to the village to inquire about the case during the day. I saw that two of them were still pressing on Chen Hong's shoulder with one hand, making it difficult for him to move.
"What's going on? How could these two men and women be held by the cha master together, can it be said that ......?"
"So, Chen Yang's death has nothing to do with them?"
"It should be. I said that why did the fifth brother beat his wife at every turn recently, it seems that he should have discovered something, and this is the ...... Yo, it's the fifth brother who murdered the adulterer and adulteress, it must be like this! ”
When these facts were in front of them, they didn't even need Yang Zhen and them to explain more, and the villagers were able to make up all the ins and outs of the matter through their rich associative abilities. At this time, when they looked at the two people on the ground again, they were obviously full of disdain, and some people even spat at them: "What a shameless and murderous dog man and woman!" ”
The movement here also quickly alarmed Chen Bo, who had already fallen asleep. As soon as he heard that someone had caught the murderer of Chen Yang, he immediately hurried over. And when he saw his son and Chen Yang's wife fall to the ground like this, being pointed at and discussed, the old man almost didn't come over in one breath and fainted on the spot.
After snorting and gasping for a while, Chen Bo finally stabilized his mind, slammed the crutch in his hand, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Shut up!" ”
As the patriarch and Li Zheng, Chen Bo's prestige was still quite large, and even at this time, after he reprimanded, the villagers obediently stopped talking and made way out so that they could easily come to the officers and talk to them.
"A few bad masters, this ...... What the hell is going on? Chen Bo asked while staring at his son who had made a big ugly appearance in front of him, and he couldn't wait to kill this guy who had embarrassed his old face with a cane.
He really didn't know that Chen Hong actually had this leg with Chen Yang's daughter-in-law. Although he had also heard that Chen Yang's beautiful daughter-in-law had an unclear relationship with a man in the village, he could never have imagined that the man was his son. If he knew, he would definitely not let his son meet this vixen again during this time. At the same time, a bad premonition has also arisen in his heart, after being caught and raped, I am afraid that many people will think that his son is the murderer of Chen Yang, and even he himself has the same idea.
Yang Zhen didn't need to hide it at the moment, so he told all the suspicious points he had discovered during the day, and then said: "We are just trying our luck, maybe the adulterer we think will appear tonight because of his weak heart as a thief." So he returned to the village at night and hid around the courtyard.
And just now, sure enough, we saw a person sneakily into the door of Chen Yang's house. Soon after, there was an unbearable sound inside, and we knew that this man was an adulterer. So he rushed in and pulled both of them out.
"And as far as we can speculate, this adulterer is likely to be the murderer of Chen Yang. In order to convince the villagers, he called that out. But I don't want to, this adulterer actually took us everywhere to inquire during the day, and it seems that Chen Hong, who is the least like the murderer. ”
Listening to them talk eloquently and tell everything, the villagers showed a look of sudden realization, Chen Bo was even more shocked and angry, and shouted at his son with a crutch: "Chen Hong, you are not a good son, did you really do this?" ”
At this time, Chen Hong, who had just been caught in pleasure and almost immediately had a stroke, and was greatly stimulated, came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "What is wronged...... Father, I, although the child coveted the beauty of this woman, he never thought of killing the fifth brother, he ...... Indeed, I did not kill him! ”
The so-called knowing son Mo Ruo's father, Chen Boluo was calm, and he also felt that what his son said was true. Although Chen Hong is a little domineering and indeed lustful, he is not very bold, and it is really hard to believe that he would dare to kill someone for the sake of a woman. And in the past few days, he didn't notice anything unusual about Chen Hong, if he really killed someone, he couldn't hide his old eyes.
So, Chen Bo threw his hand at Yang Zhen and said: "A few bad masters, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter, my son will definitely not kill anyone, I ......"
"Patriarch Chen, this matter is not something that you and I can calculate." Wei Yong became official at this time: "We came here to investigate the case in order to find some clues." Now that there are clues and the person with the most motive to kill has been caught, it is natural to take the person back to the county government to make a mission. If you think there is any misunderstanding in this, you can go to the county office and tell the lord to see if the lord can believe you. ”
"This ......" Chen Bo hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Okay, the old man will tell the eldest master that although my son behaves perversely, he is definitely not a person who can do murder." The old man still believes that it was Cai Yingyang of the Cai family who killed the murderer. ”
His words have a profound meaning, in order to provoke the villagers' unanimous external emotions, and not to continue to focus only on his son. But Chen Bo also understood that after this incident, the status of their father and son in Chenjiaao was bound to be greatly damaged, even if it was finally confirmed that the son was not a murderer, but only adultery, it was enough to be spurned.
"In this way, we will take the two suspects back to the county office. Leave! Wei Yong knew that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so he took advantage of the fact that everyone was still a little unable to react, and bowed his hand. Then, he took everyone and left the village at night and went to the county seat.
And after they left, the villagers also went back to their homes with strange expressions. This time, they didn't salute the old patriarch as they had done before to show their respect, because at this moment Chen Bo was their son's accomplice in their hearts. It must have been that he knew that Chen Yang was killed by his son, and in order to cover up the crime for him, he pointed the finger at the Cai family.
Thinking that when they went to Cai's house to get people the day before yesterday, it was almost another fight, and everyone felt that they were being played by the old patriarch as a monkey. The patriarch of the clan who used the clan in this way naturally could no longer be as trusting and respectful as before.
Seeing the suspicious and resentful gazes of his clansmen when they left, Chen Bo's heart tightened even more, and then he felt his mind dizzy again. If it weren't for the eldest son Chen An beside him who helped him in time, he would almost fall to the ground. After a while, he muttered: "This unscrupulous son, he is really angry with the old man!" ”
When Yang Zhen and the others escorted people back to the county office, the sky was already white, and a new day had arrived unconsciously.
Before dawn, Xuan Chuang, who was sleeping at home, already knew that they had brought back the other two suspects, which surprised him: "Even I have to admire their ability to do things." In just one day, they were asked to find two more suspects. Now things are even more lively. ”
But at least for now, this case has nothing to do with his canonical history. Because soon after dawn, the county commander Yang Chen presided over the trial of the two, and he didn't give Xuan Chuang a chance to meddle in this matter at all.
Although after an interrogation, neither of them admitted to doing such a thing, and insisted that the two of them were mixing together on the night Chen Yang was killed, and there was no time to kill. But this kind of argument that adulterers and adulteresses prove to each other that they have not killed each other cannot be trusted.
In desperation, Yang Chen had no choice but to put the two of them in prison like Cai Yingyang before, and only wait for someone to go to Chenjiaao to investigate carefully and find out more that this case was indeed committed by Chen Hong or Chen's wife, and then make a judgment.
But he didn't know that Xuan Chuang, who was excluded from the case by him at this moment, had already begun to make a move. On the afternoon of this day, a stranger came to Chenjiaao, and went straight to the compound of the patriarch Chen Bo, and after seeing him, the first thing he said was: "Old Patriarch Chen, in fact, you don't know that everything they did was just to shield the murderer Cai Yingyang!" ”
