Chapter 15: Turning Point
Time passed like this, seemingly plain as water. Just when Ye Jingshu was already hopeless about the bracelet, the police who suddenly came to the door broke the peace.
In the yard, Pu Mu was sitting on a rocking chair and leaning on the back of the chair to let Pu Xiuer fan the cool breeze; The three of the Pu family, father and son, were leisurely drinking herbal tea in the shade of the tree; Five-year-old Xiao Bao'er is also holding a water gun and happily spraying water at Ye Jingshu, who is washing clothes for the family. “
The family suddenly saw so many uniformed policemen, and they didn't react at once.
I saw that the policeman who walked in the front was full of majesty and said in a serious tone: "Who is Liu Cuiyu?" We wanted to ask her to come with us. ”
Liu Cuiyu is Pu's mother's name, and when she heard the police's words at first glance, Pu's mother was stunned:
"Comrade policeman, what are you looking for me? I promise that I haven't been here for a long time, and I have never done anything bad! Don't catch me! ”
The sheriff spoke:
"Comrade Liu Cuiyu, we recently arrested Luo, a cultural relics dealer, and according to the information he provided to us, you went to Luo's jade shop two months ago to conduct illegal jade transactions with him. You are now suspected of reselling cultural relics, please come with us and cooperate with the investigation. ”
After that, the Pu family was controlled.
After listening to the police's words, the Pu family had different expressions on their faces: Pu's father and Pu Xiu looked confused, they didn't know what was going on, what jade, what cultural relics, and how Pu's mother had anything to do with the crime?
The Pu brothers seemed to be preoccupied: although Pu Dafu knew that his brother had obtained a jade bracelet, he had no idea that his mother had sold the bracelet; But Pu Dagui's heart was flustered, and in addition to more anger:
He obviously told his mother so much, and repeatedly solemnly explained that he hid the bracelet and didn't wear it out, let alone sell it, but it turned out that his mother not only didn't listen, but was greedy for money, and sold the bracelet directly for a little money.
In this way, you may not be able to hide what you want to hide, and you may not be able to live! Mother, where is this sale is just a bracelet? That's his life! Thinking of this, Pu Dagui's heart burned, and his eyes were red staring at Pu Mu.
When Pu Mu saw her son's resentful eyes, she was completely panicked, and she cried:
"Great! Mother is wrong! Mother shouldn't have listened to your advice and sold the bracelet...... Mother shouldn't ...... Hiccup......"
After seeing Pu Mu's "performance" of crying and grabbing the ground, the police learned that the jade bracelet resold by Pu Mu was provided by Pu Dagui, so they also brought Pu Dagui back to the police station by the way.
Pu's mother realized that her crying not only failed to exonerate herself, but stupidly dragged her eldest son down, and then fainted after being stimulated.
Ye Jingshu didn't come to her senses until Pu Mu was taken away, no wonder she couldn't find the whereabouts of the jade bracelet for so long, it turned out that the bracelet was sold by her mother-in-law, so the two hundred yuan she saw in her mother-in-law's house that afternoon was the money for selling the bracelet.
Thinking of this, Ye Jingshu couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement, she had only sold such a good thing for two hundred yuan! It's really a tyrannical thing, and her mother-in-law's blindness has made her unable to complain!
However, since Pu Mu was taken away, the bracelet should be recovered, and it is necessary to go to the police station to confirm whether the jade bracelet belongs to his mother. So on the grounds that he couldn't rest assured of his mother-in-law, he also went to the police station, leaving the Pu family who were already in a mess.
Ye Jingshu got on a tricycle and rushed to the police station when she went out.
Along the way, her mood was like a roller coaster: from doubting the cause of her mother's death to starting to investigate the truth to no avail, things have passed for a long time, and she has lost hope for it, but now things are turning around. Ye Jingshu couldn't wait to get closer to the truth,
But on the other hand, sometimes the closer one gets to the truth, the more frightened one becomes. If it's really what you guess, how should you deal with yourself? Ye Jingshu fell into a deep contradiction.
However, soon the car arrived at the entrance of the police station. Ye Jingshu paid the money and went in to explain her intention to the police, and the police brought the bracelet over for Ye Jingshu to confirm.
Ye Jingshu gently stroked the jade bracelet for a long time, the texture is warm, delicate and transparent, graceful and luxurious, this is the bracelet that her mother has worn for many years!
It is said that wearing jade can eliminate disasters and bring auspiciousness to the owner. And his mother caused this disaster! Seeing the jade bracelet, Ye Jingshu remembered her mother's kindness and didn't shed tears. She reluctantly stroked the bracelet, as if there was still her mother's temperature on it.
After a long time, Ye Jingshu told the police about her guess about the cause of her mother's death and her father's case that had been reported to the police, and the two sides agreed that the death of Ye Jingshu's mother in the jade resale case was directly related.
As a result, the police in H quickly got in touch with the police in A to jointly investigate the two cases, and Ye's father, as a key figure in the case, was ready to go to H with the police in City A.
After all this, Ye Jingshu did not immediately return to the courtyard of the Pu family.
At this moment, her mood is very complicated, now the mother-in-law and eldest brother who have just woken up are being carefully questioned by the police in the bureau about the relevant reasons, and one thing she knows very well is that Pu Dagui does not know about Pu Mu's reselling of bracelets, and Pu Mu herself does not know the truth about her mother's death.
Therefore, the key to the matter is not Pu Mu, but Pu Dagui. Because when they moved their family to H land, this matter was the proposal of their brother Pu Dagui. My eldest brother once told my mother-in-law that the bracelet was bought from the black market.
But if it's really just that simple, then why bother to let the family relocate? No, there must be a problem with this.
Thinking about this, Ye Jingshu decided to stay at the police station first to see the situation of the police's questioning.
Not surprisingly, although Pu Mu confessed to reselling the bracelet, when the police asked about the origin of the table, Pu Dagui bit the bracelet to death, and the bracelet was only obtained from the black market, and the others did not know about it.
Another point, to Ye Jingshu's surprise, in Pu Mu's confession, she admitted that she sold the bracelet for 300 yuan instead of 200, but she did only find 200 yuan in the box that day.
Pu Mu is usually very economical, so what do the remaining 100 mothers-in-law do? However, compared with the problem of the channel for the bracelet to get it, this problem is naturally not worth mentioning, and Ye Jingshu didn't think too much about it.
The case is at an impasse. Perhaps, only after the police in H come can we further investigate. Ye Jingshu had to return to the Pu family first.
But Ye Jingshu didn't agree with it in her heart, and the bracelet was just a confession that the eldest brother bought from the black market.
She couldn't help but think of the time when they were still in the town of Kawachi, when the eldest brother and her husband persuaded her to leave together, and the panicked and anxious expressions on their faces were the same. So, does her husband know something?
Thinking of this, Ye Jingshu decided to go home and ask her husband about the reason for the matter.
