Chapter Seventy-Two: The Case
Yan Mo carried a basket full of food, and stood in front of Yangzhou Prison with Lin Jin for a quarter of an hour, looking at Lin Jin who was looking at the door of the prison, and did not say anything about going in or leaving, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, can we enter or not?" ”
Lin Jin didn't speak, sighed, and walked forward. Seeing him like this, Yan Mo naturally understood his attitude, and hurriedly followed behind with a basket and entered the door of the prison.
Dealing with and taking care of the jailers, Lin Jin was led by a female cell leader to the place where Hongluo was being held.
Since Jia Min passed away and Hongluo left the Lin family, Lin Jin saw Hongluo for the first time. In her impression, what was left was her youthful and beautiful appearance when she left, but when she saw the unkempt face in front of her, the forehead lines and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, which made the red snail in her early twenties look like she was forty years old, she was stunned.
Yanmo is the little girl next to Lin Jin, when Hongluo was in the house, he dealt with her a lot, because Hongluo was the big girl next to Jia Min, so he has always been so sweet that he shouted "Sister Sister", and when he saw Hongluo who seemed to be twenty years old all of a sudden, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Sister Hongluo, why did you become this ghost?" ”
Hongluo ignored Yan Mo, looked at Lin Jin, with tears in his eyes, and forced himself not to cry and said, "Uncle, thank you, uncle, for your willingness to come and see me." ”
On this occasion, this situation is obviously not suitable for reminiscence, Lin Jin thought for a long time and didn't know what to say, so he asked bluntly: "You said you had something to see me, I'm here now, what's the matter, you can say it." ”
Without waiting for Hongluo to speak, Yan Mo interjected: "If you want the uncle to bend the law for your personal gain, it is impossible. Our uncle is soft-hearted, and after you left the house before, I thought of my love for many years and helped you several times, but this time you committed a capital crime, and it is impossible for the uncle to help you anymore. ”
Hongluo shook his head and said, "I don't have that mind. I know that I have killed someone, and my sin is unforgivable. I understand the truth that murder pays for life. I asked to see Uncle because I wanted him to take care of my daughter Cherry after I died. ”
Lin Jin listened to her request, glanced at the red snail with a pleading face, and did not speak.
Yan Mo glared at Hongluo fiercely and said, "Your mother and son are not dead, why did you trust your uncle to be alone?" Who are you as an uncle, do you think that the uncle is soft-hearted and good-natured, so you can handle it casually? ”
Looking at the silent Lin Jin, Hongluo wiped the tears on his face and said, "I didn't mean to pinch the uncle, but when the uncle was helping me before, I should have heard Mother Tao mention the situation at home."
On my mother's side, although my parents and brothers are there, unfortunately, they are unreliable. Back then, if I hadn't been lucky enough to run into someone in the house, I would have been sold into that dirty place, just like my sisters in front of me. Even my own biological daughter is treated like this, not to mention my granddaughter, who is still one layer away, so the cherries can't be handed over to my mother's side.
As for my mother-in-law's side, I came here because I killed my husband; Besides, Cherry is not the blood of that family; Furthermore, the reason why I killed my husband was partly related to Cherry, but I was afraid that they would be angry with Cherry; In addition, when the cherries were sold, it was also the idea of some people in the clan; Therefore, not to mention the question of whether they are willing to raise or not, even if they are willing to raise it, I dare not give the child to them.
I really have no one to trust, I think about it, so I think of you, uncle, so I beg the uncle to take in the cherries and reward her with a mouthful of food. I can't repay the uncle's kindness in this life, and in the next life, even if I am a cow and a horse, and I will definitely repay the uncle's kindness. ”
Lin Jin saw that Hongluo didn't mention Cherry's biological father, so he asked, "Isn't Cherry's grandfather and grandmother, or uncle, still there?" ”
Hongluo said sadly: "The family I married before, after I killed each other's two sons in a row, they regarded me as an enemy and hated me to death, because the cherry was born to me, so they even hated the cherry together." Besides, Cherry is just a girl, they are not rare at all, otherwise, they would not have let me take it in the first place. And the family I married later, they found it for me, the person I married what virtue they actually know, I used to be beaten because of the cherry with me, looking at the scars on the cherry's body, I looked for them several times, let them take the cherry back to their house, how is it better than following me to be beaten all day, but they did not agree. In their eyes, cherries are not their blood, they are their enemies, just like me. Therefore, even if the cherries are delivered to them, I am afraid they will not be good. ”
With a plop, Hongluo knelt down for Lin Jin and cried: "Uncle, I really have no one to trust, and I really have no choice but to ask for Uncle's head." I, the mother, killed someone, but my daughter is not guilty, so I'm kowtowing to the uncle here, please give the cherry a way to live. As she spoke, she kowtowed, and the head hit the ground with a thumping sound, and soon her forehead was already blue.
Yan Mo saw that Hongluo didn't agree to Lin Jin, so she knocked to death here, and scolded sharply: "You're going to die, what do you think you are?" Rotten life, and because of murder, he was already a person who was about to die, and he was still here to blackmail the uncle, do you think that if you threaten the uncle so much, the uncle will agree to you? Dream! ”
Hongluo didn't speak, just kept kowtowing there, and soon, her forehead was broken, blood flowed out, and she was dizzy, she still didn't care, and continued to kowtow, just like that.
"Alright, don't knock it. I'll look back at this, and I'll have a reason for what to do. Lin Jin didn't spit out and said to take in the cherries, but she didn't say anything to death.
Hongluo didn't hear that there was a live buckle in his words, thinking that she had agreed, so he hurriedly raised his head, looked at Lin Jin with a smile, and thanked her in surprise: "Uncle Xie, Uncle Xie." The blood and dust from her cheeks on her forehead made her face even dirtier, and it was a little funny and hideous.
Lin Jin looked away, refused to look at her, and glanced at Yan Mo beside her. Yan Mo comprehended his mind, and hurriedly handed over the basket in his hand: "Well, this is some food that the uncle has prepared for you, you can put it away." ”
After giving the things to Hongluo, Lin Jin didn't say anything to her, and left the prison with Yanmo. Coming outside, Yan Mo looked up at the sky and sighed: "It's finally out, it's better to be outside, why is it so uncomfortable in there." ”
……
Back in the house, when Mama Tao gave supper to Lin Jin, who was reading at night, she looked at her and asked tentatively: "Uncle, I heard Yanmo say, uncle, you plan to bring Hongluo's daughter Cherry back to the mansion?" ”
Lin Jin smiled and said, "This Yanmo's mouth is fast. I haven't decided yet, after all, although Hongluo is in prison, her daughter is still taken care of by relatives, and I brought people back to the house for no reason, what is it? ”
Hearing this, Mama Tao nodded and sighed: "That red snail is indeed a problem for the uncle, although there are not a few people who sell children and daughters, and the family of the red snail is not a good thing, but if the uncle just goes to the door, with the character of that family, I am afraid that the lion will open his mouth, and I don't know how much it will cost the uncle." And with the strength of the family to hold the red snail at the beginning, if the cherry enters the house, I am afraid that it will be entangled, and at that time, I don't know how much trouble there will be. ”
For Lin Jin, what Mama Tao said is actually nothing. She was embarrassed because Hongluo's conviction was related to her, so she was so hesitant to take Hongluo's daughter into the mansion. After all, I don't kill Beren, and Beren's death because of me makes her feel a little difficult to face Cherry.
In fact, this matter is not a foolish account. At the beginning, the cherry was sold by her stepfather, and Hongluo turned to Lin Jin to find her daughter back. For the husband who married after Hongluo, according to Lin Jin's thoughts, domestic violence, and added another charge of selling cherries, what else did he have to do with him, he didn't live with him a long time ago. But after Hongluo found her daughter, she still chose to continue to live with her husband, although Lin Jin couldn't agree with this, she also understood her thoughts, so she didn't care deeply.
Since then, Lin Jin heard the news of Hongluo again when he was attached to the school of Yangzhou prefect, and heard the son of Yangzhou prefect talk about a wife murder case sentenced by his father in the school. Obviously, the murder weapon, the motive for the killing, the bloody clothes and other key physical evidence in the case have been found, but the whereabouts of the husband who was killed have not been found, and the wife accused of killing the husband has not said a word, and her relatives have been crying out for injustice, so the case has not been closed.
Because the topic aroused Lin Jin's interest, she followed and studied the case, and then pointed out the key to the case, and found out the whereabouts of her husband who was killed, so that the case could be successfully closed. At that time, she didn't know that the wife who killed her husband was Hongluo, or afterwards, because the Yangzhou prefect closed the case and convicted Hongluo, Hongluo sent a message to Mama Tao to see Lin Jin, and then she knew that Hongluo was the wife of the recent sensational murder case in Yangzhou Mansion.
