Chapter 12: Who Is the Real Culprit?
Du Mengquan's skin had many bruises and bruises, as if she had been severely beaten before her death.
Huo Yu's white eyes darkened, "I did whip Du Shi a few times, but they were all hit in the mouth, and the crowd of onlookers at that time could testify." The injuries on Du's body were not caused by me. ”
"You made you beat it." Li Wan said sharply, "My daughter-in-law was blocked and beaten on the way back to the house, she only offended you, isn't it who you will be?" ”
"Auntie, murder conviction pays attention to evidence, it's not that you say that you have a grudge against me, you can determine that I am a murderer."
Huo Yubai's tone was light, and his hand attached to Du Mengquan's body, groping little by little.
"Three ribs on the chest were broken, there was a large bruise on the heart, there was also a large bruise on the abdomen, and the hand was ......"
Huo Yubai held Du Mengquan's hand and found that there was an obvious bloody hole in the index finger of his left hand......
I noticed it too.
"A bloody hole in the hand, blood stains on the nails, a broken nail, broken hand bones...... Extensive bruising of the knee and severe fracture of the calf......
Such a serious injury, especially in the chest and abdomen, can be fatal.
If Du Shi was seriously injured outside, how did she return to Xu's house?
When did you go back?
How did you get back?
What about the maid who served her? Where are the people?
Has anyone seen her being beaten?
When did she die after she returned to the Xu family?
Have you ever asked a doctor? ”
Huo Yubai asked again and again, looking at the Xu family with sharp eyes, "Big cousin, eldest aunt, step-grandmother, can the three of you answer?" ”
Xu Jiucheng licked his dry lips, his eyes flickering.
"This ...... How can we possibly remember so clearly? Li Wan said.
Mrs. Xu had a calm face, "Du Shi was seriously injured and went home, the family was busy, and before he could ask for a doctor, Du Shi went, and I can't remember the specific time." ”
"Oh?" Huo Yubai looked at He Yuan, "Lord He, you told me that Du Shi died an hour after returning home, but now the Xu family says that Du died not long after returning home, and he didn't even have time to ask a doctor." ”
He Yuan's face was majestic, and his sharp eyes looked at Xu Jiucheng, "Young Master Xu, it was you who told the official that the Du family had died of poison when they went home for an hour, who did you and the old lady say that it was true and reliable?" ”
"Great, my lord......" Xu Jiucheng stammered, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "I, what my grandmother said is true." ”
He Yuan frowned and slapped his eyes in shock, "Then why are you lying?" ”
"Because, because...... My lord, even if my wife was not poisoned, Huo Yubai let her be killed, I just ...... I just want Huo Yubai to pay for my wife's life. ”
"Ridiculous!" He Yuan snorted, "Without evidence, how can you determine that Miss Huo Er is a murderer?" ”
"She killed her!" Li Wan said, staring at Huo Yubai with hateful eyes, "She beat my daughter-in-law in public, many people have seen it, such a poisonous woman, who could it be if she didn't kill her?" ”
"Uncle asked well, it wasn't me who killed, so who could it be?" Huo Yubai asked softly, staring at Li Wan with sharp eyes, "Whoever frames me will be the most suspicious, assuming that your Xu family lied, Du Shi was beaten after returning home......"
"Nonsense!" Li Wan reprimanded.
Huo Yubai didn't miss the panic in her eyes, as well as Xu Jiucheng, who was obviously nervous.
"Auntie, I'm just assuming, after all, this case is decided, you have to make bold assumptions, bold speculation, don't wronged a good person, and never let go of a bad person, right?"
Li Wan was choked, looked at He Yuan, and looked sad, "My lord, Du Shi is my daughter-in-law, and she has a deep relationship with my son, how can our Xu family harm her?" ”
He Yuan frowned, this Xu Jiucheng and the Du family have a really good relationship, so they spoiled the concubine and killed their wives, and supported the Du family to make the main room.
"In this world, the more impossible things are, the more likely they are to happen. It is not unheard of for a son to murder his biological father, let alone a husband and wife. I can't be found guilty because I have a grudge with Du, nor can I be considered guilty because Du and Young Master Xu have a good relationship, and the Xu family is not suspicious. Huo Yubai said lightly.
He Yuan's heart brightened, and he glanced at Huo Yubai approvingly, "Miss Huo Er is right!" ”
Huo Yubai's expression was indifferent, "Lord He, when the Du family left the Huo family, it was about four o'clock in the morning, and the time of death was two to three hours ago, that is, from one moment before noon to one hour before the hour, and he was murdered during this time period.
My Huo family, from top to bottom, from the fourth quarter to the moment before the hour, will cooperate with Lord He and accept Lord He's summons and interrogation.
As for the Xu family, they should also be interrogated.
Another point, Du's poisoning, is it poisoned by the murderer in one fell swoop, or is it a deliberate frame-up?
I, Huo Yubai, have never harmed anyone, I have been framed in vain, I need justice, and my Huo family also needs justice! ”
The last sentence was loud and clear.
He Yuan looked at her and nodded solemnly, "This official will investigate clearly, and there will be no favoritism, if Miss Huo Er is not guilty, she will definitely give you justice."
The case needs to be further investigated, and the second miss can return home today, and in the future, if the second miss needs to come to the court, I hope that the second miss will cooperate. ”
Huo Yubai nodded, "The little girl fully cooperates." ”
He Yuan sincerely admired her calmness, neither humble nor arrogant, and looked at Huo Lifeng who was watching, "General Huo, this niece, speaks reasonably, well-organized, not bad." ”
Huo Lifeng was proud in his heart and smiled, "Lord He has a good reputation, can General Ben take Yu Bai back to his house now?" ”
"Yes!"
Huo Lifeng looked at Huo Yubai with a look of relief, "Let's go!" ”
This kid has grown up.
It's getting late.
There were a lot of people watching from the outside of the mansion, and everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Huo Yubai, and they didn't disdain.
Si Chuheng and Shen Hao stood in the crowd, their eyes following Huo Yubai, and both of them had different opinions about her.
The two of them were richly dressed and had outstanding temperaments, and they could be seen at a glance when they stood in the crowd.
Huo Yubai naturally saw it, glanced at Si Chuheng, and quickly looked away, his expression was always indifferent.
Huo Lifeng nodded casually at Si Chuheng.
Si Chuheng walked towards him and said in a deep voice, "When this son returned to the city, he heard about the second young lady and came to take a look. A deep gaze looked at Huo Yubai, "Second Miss is not the same as the rumored one. ”
Huo Yubai was silent, ignored Si Chuheng, and left directly.
Huo Lifeng just gave his hand and left with Huo Yubai.
Si Chuheng looked at Huo Yubai's proud back, and his eyes darkened.
"This Miss Huo Er is too rude." Shen Hao said.
Si Chu pursed his lips, indeed rude.
……
Back in Huofu, it was already night.
Listening to Huo Lifeng's general story, the Huo Mansion was relieved.
Huo Yubai's heart was not so relaxed, his mind was full of Du's corpse, guessing the real murderer and the motive for the killing......
