In fact, of course, it was not Zheng Niangzi who killed people, but Zhiyan still said so.

As soon as Gu Baoying heard it, she knew that he was deliberately telling Zheng Niangzi.

Sure enough, Zheng Niangzi exploded immediately: "You are talking nonsense!" He's my father, and he's always loved me the most, how could I possibly kill him! ”

"Oh, it turns out that although this old Zheng Tou likes to waste and kill innocent and good women, but because he is your father, he has always loved you the most, so not only did you not expose his evil deeds to the government, but also concealed it for him, causing more and more people to suffer, right?" Gu Baoying then said.

"You!" Zheng Niangzi suddenly choked again, and said slowly after a while, "I didn't know about these things he did." ”

"If you really don't know anything, why did you refuse to go back to your parents' house to visit him for so many years after you got married? Doesn't he love you the most? But you won't come back as soon as you get married, Mrs. Zheng, don't you think what you say is a contradiction? However, Gu Baoying is not so easy to fool, in a few words, she can always catch the point with a few words.

Zheng Niangzi's face turned pale and she was speechless about this.

"It's not that she hasn't been back to her parents' house, after the Yang family married Lao Zhengtou, she took the time to go home." At this time, Zhiyan suddenly said again, with a hint of deliberate reminder in his tone.

"Yes, a daughter who is loved by her father refuses to go home to visit her old father for many years after she gets married, but suddenly returns to her parents' house after her father marries Xuxian, why is this?" Gu Baoying followed his reminder and asked questions in a timely manner.

Everyone in the room, involuntarily, pondered this question between the two of them and answered.

Huang Zhutou was the first to answer: "Could it be that Mrs. Zheng knows what the old Zheng Tou has been doing all along, and she is disgusted in her heart, so she will not come back as soon as she marries?" Out of sight is pure! As a daughter, she can't report her father's crimes, but she can avoid them. So as soon as Yang married Lao Zheng Tou, and brought a twelve or thirteen-year-old daughter into the door together, she was worried that Lao Zheng Tou would poison the mother and daughter again, so she came back. ”

He analyzed seriously and attentively, so he didn't notice that Zheng Niangzi's face became more and more pale with his words, and the whole person was a little shaky.

I only heard him continue, "A married daughter who hasn't been home for a few years, but suddenly came back after her father married Xuxian, it seems that only this one reason makes sense, of course, there is another possibility, that is, Zheng Niangzi came back to fight for the family property, and she didn't want the old Zheng Tou to accumulate a few years of old capital, all of which were given to her stepmother and stepsister." ”

"This second possibility, almost impossible." Gu Baoying said such a tongue-twisting sentence with a smile.

"Why? After the children have their own families, they fight for family property, but they abound among the people. Huang Zhutou said puzzled.

"Of course, that's because in Lao Zhengtou's mind, the Yang family and daughter are nothing at all, and he will not hand over all the money he has earned for decades to the Yang family."

"How do you know?"

"It's easy."

Gu Baoying looked at Huang Zhutou who was asking, "If Lao Zheng Tou is kind to the Yang family and his daughter and is willing to give them all his life savings, how can the Yang family kill Lao Zheng Tou?" ”

"What do you mean?" When Huang Zhutou heard this, he couldn't help but understand something in his heart.

Master Xing and a few others also looked at her with a thoughtful expression.

"Everyone, please think about it carefully, Yang was arrested, but she hid in the basement, but she hid in, and she didn't dare to come out for several days, even the toilet was inside, before Brother Zhiyan and Huang Zhutou went in to investigate, and found that there was no trace of leftovers inside, only a few jars of wine, which had been opened and drunk, which shows that she was hiding here, Lao Zheng Tou didn't know that no one sent her food, she wanted to satisfy her hunger, so she could only drink."

Gu Baoying analyzed this, then looked at Master Xing and the others, and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"It shows that the Yang family didn't dare to let Lao Zheng Tou know, she hid in the basement!" Huang Zhutou immediately replied in the affirmative.

"Not bad!"

Gu Baoying's eyes showed a smile of approval, "If the relationship between the two is very good, she can come out immediately after the people in the official mansion leave, and let Lao Zheng Tou help her escape, instead of not daring to let Lao Zheng Tou know where she is, doesn't this mean that Lao Zheng Tou's relationship with her is not good at all?" Under such circumstances, how could Lao Zheng Tou hand over the family property to her? ”

"That's true." Master Xing stroked his beard and nodded approvingly.

With that said, a problem has been identified.

That is, Mrs. Zheng suddenly returned to her parents' house after Lao Zheng Tou married the Yang family, not to fight for family property, but because she knew what kind of virtue Lao Zheng Tou was.

In other words, Mrs. Zheng knew about the crimes committed by Lao Zheng Tou, but she didn't report it!

Master Xing thought about this layer clearly, and suddenly looked at Zheng Niangzi's eyes, which were a little sharper.

But he didn't say that explicitly.

There are so many family members of the deceased present, if this is explained to them at this moment, then must they immediately riot and tear up Zheng Niangzi?

If these people are allowed to vent their anger now, I am afraid that they will cause chaos and will not be conducive to the investigation of the case.

And Gu Baoying sighed slightly.

Zheng Niangzi is guilty, according to the law of the Xiao Dynasty, if it is an immediate family, such as a parent and a child, who deliberately conceals the knowledge and does not report it, but does not need to be punished severely.

In other words, Zheng Niangzi will not go to prison, at most she will be punished slightly, such as being beaten with a few sticks, in short, it will not be very heavy.

Zheng Niangzi is not a fool, she has heard so much, how can there be anything she doesn't understand?

Immediately, he was a little discouraged and accepted his fate.

"Yang's motive for killing, I'm afraid it is also that she has a bad relationship with Lao Zheng Tou, even very bad, she found the corpses in a few coffins in the basement, guessed something, and was afraid that if she was killed by Lao Zheng Tou, she struck first." Zhiyan continued at this time.

"That's right, I also said that when Old Zheng Tou died, he drank wine, is that so, Mrs. Zheng?" Gu Baoying then asked.

"That's the case, I came back with my husband and children that day, my father said he was happy, so he drank a lot of wine, when I left, he was so drunk that he couldn't even stand steadily, it was my husband who helped him to the house to rest, and Gu Xinru also promised at that time that he would take good care of him!" Zheng Niangzi answered honestly unconsciously, and when she mentioned Gu Xinru, she couldn't help but grit her teeth a little.

She treated the other party as her own sister, but the other party united with the Yang family to kill her father!

What a biting snake, something with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs!

At this point, it's almost all clear.

Yang not only forged a marriage certificate, absconded for fear of crime, but also committed murder, and his crime should be punished!

And Lao Zheng Tou mutilated so many young girls, and he was innocent.

"The relevant physical evidence and human evidence have been collected, and Xing should go back to his life. Gu Xiaoniang, little brother Zhiyan, thank you for your help today, the investigation of the case can be so smooth. Master Xing thanked.

He had sorted out the relevant documents, ordered someone to bring all the physical evidence he had collected, and was ready to return to the county seat.

"Master is polite, but the modest effort is not as hard as the poor masters, besides, it is also what we should do to let the truth of the matter be revealed as soon as possible." Gu Baoying immediately said politely.

After she said goodbye, as soon as she walked out of the courtyard of Lao Zheng Tou's house, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The heavens are clear.

But sometimes retribution comes, but not necessarily because God's justice has arrived, but because the wicked have their own evildoers.
