Chapter 38 Barbecue (1)
Liu Yuan looked a little ugly and said, "Her family felt it was embarrassing and offensive, so they hurriedly covered it up and buried her."
Lin Fei fell silent.
Liu Yuan looked at Shang Feng who pursed his lips and said nothing. Even though his expression was no different from usual, he still felt a bit like a storm was coming from Zhongpin.
Of course, the storm was not directed at him after all.
"Did the young lady get close to anyone before the accident?" Lin Fei was silent for a long time, then spoke again, looked at Liu Yuan, and asked, "Does the young lady have any sweethearts at the same age? How is the relationship between the gift-giver and the gift-giver who were kidnapped together as a child?"
Liu Yuan looked at Shangfeng and said in admiration: "Your Majesty, you are right! I heard that the two families have become familiar with each other since that incident. The young lady and the gift-giver named Lu Qing are somewhat of a childhood sweetheart. But the young lady Her family thought that Lu Qing's family was poor, so they asked for a large sum of money as a gift, several times more than the local custom. But Lu Qing couldn't afford it, so her family didn't agree."
"Oh, that's right! I heard that she sold things across baskets to raise the money for the gift with Lu Qing." Liu Yuan said this and couldn't help but sigh, "Who would have thought something would happen..."
Lin Fei asked him: "Where is the one named Lu Qing? What will the little lady say after the accident?"
Liu Yuandao: "Her family didn't report to the government back then, and Lu Qing even made a fuss, but was dragged back by her parents. The Taoist parents didn't want to get involved, so why should he, an outsider, meddle in other people's business..."
At this point, I don't know why, but my throat suddenly felt sore.
Thinking of Mrs. Yan who was severely beaten by Yan San and the young lady who had the accident, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "Is face so important?"
The young lady came from an ordinary family, but something like this happened and she was hastily buried. The family knew that something was wrong, but they still gritted their teeth and admitted it. A woman of Mrs. Yan's background could be considered a powerful person, but after marrying Yan San, her father and brother obviously had the ability to deal with Yan San, but for the sake of face, they turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear.
If others interfere, they will be scolded for being nosy, because this is their family matter.
After Lin Fei was silent for a moment, he looked up at Liu Yuan again: "Then the young lady's family still lives in the same place?"
Liu Yuan didn't know why Shangfeng asked, but he still said "hmm", recalled something, and said: "It's still the same place, but it's been newly renovated. It's more elegant than the houses in the neighbors..."
Halfway through, Liu Yuan suddenly fell silent, his face changed several times, and he subconsciously looked at Lin Fei: "Is it possible..."
"Go and check!" Lin Fei said, "After that little lady's accident, her family suddenly became wealthy."
Liu Yuan's face became even more ugly after saying one sentence. He opened his mouth and couldn't help but murmured: "This is also..."
Mrs. Yan’s family is not short of money, just to keep her face low, but this young lady’s family is actually...
"This family should not be people who keep their face and keep quiet," Lin Fei lowered his head and looked at the case file and said, "The bride price is much higher than local customs, and it will definitely be talked about by the neighbors. But they don't care, obviously it's not a good thing face."
As for what was good, Liu Yuan couldn't help but cursed "bastard!" when he thought of the suddenly impressive house.
Lin Fei glanced at Liu Yuan who was scolding him, lowered his eyes, paused, and said: "If everything goes as we guessed, this person named Lu Qing will be brought back and held accountable."
Liu Yuan nodded, thought of this, and then said: "So, the little prince in the prison refused to say anything. It is most likely that he saw Lu Qing and recognized his abducted companion. After knowing the inside story, he helped cover it up?"
This statement seems quite reasonable.
Lin Fei frowned and said, "Go and check first. If everything is true, bring Lu Qing back."
Liu Yuan responded. When he turned around and saw the sun that was about to set outside, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He turned back and asked Lin Fei: "Lin Shaoqing, can't you go back today?"
Lin Fei said "Yes", laid the file on the table in front of him, and said: "Go and tell your family that if you bring Lu Qing back, I will interrogate him all night!"
Liu Yuan sighed, feeling a little helpless, but he didn't realize anything was wrong: This is what happened to yamen like Dali Temple. When there was no case, they were very busy. When there was a case, it was possible for them to stay up all day and night to chase the murderer.
After all, murderers don't specially watch you commit crimes while on duty. Most of them are people who do evil secretly in the middle of the night.
After coming out of Lin Fei's room and walking to the outer lobby to talk to Bai Zhu and the others, they all laughed bitterly.
Wei Fu, who was slightly older, couldn't help stroking his beard and frowned: "Originally, I was planning to go back for the evening meal. We have roasted meat at home, which is Madam's specialty! But now..."
Everyone was disgusted when they thought of Master Wang's "amazing" cooking skills.
Bai Zhu thought for a while and suggested: "Why don't we go out to eat..."
"Don't go!" Liu Yuan shook the file marked "Water Ghost" in his hand and said, "Once it is verified to be true, Lin Shaoqing wants us to arrest Lu Qing immediately and interrogate him overnight!"
After these days of getting along with each other, Shangfeng's temper can be considered to be almost perfected. Normally he is easy to talk to, but once he gets involved in a case, he loses all sympathy.
A few people sighed and had to go to the public kitchen. Facing Master Wang's old face that he didn't even want to look at, they hurriedly stuffed a few mouthfuls of dinner food into their mouths, so as not to panic from hunger, and took them with them. He left Dali Temple with the files and a few guards.
Since Master Sun and Master Wang became the chefs of the public kitchen, they no longer have to worry about gaining weight. In less than a year, almost everyone in the Dali Temple has lost weight.
They left the Dali Temple during the evening meal, and after half of Xu hour, a few people came back with a tall, thin young man with dark skin and a family of people who were making a lot of noise.
Lin Fei only glanced at the tall and thin young man, then frowned and said, "Lu Qing?"
Liu Yuan nodded and couldn't help but sigh again.
Everything was as they had guessed, but for some reason, it made people feel a little uncomfortable.
But no matter how uncomfortable it is, it has to be said. He said: "It's him! The family of the drowned lady also confessed that after the lady's accident two years ago, it was Yan San and the others who gave the money privately, and they Buried in a hurry!"
Although he was frightened, he told the truth. But the young lady's family obviously didn't think there was any problem. They still said that this was their family matter and the person who died was their family member and had nothing to do with outsiders.
"We didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, so we just took them in and arrested them together." Bai Zhu followed, pointing to the family who was dragged into the prison and still complaining about injustice, and said, "Fail to report what you know, and hide and deceive. According to the law, he should be sentenced to two years. When the case is over, he will be imprisoned together."
Lin Fei nodded and looked at the young man who was tied to a wooden stake with his head hanging down.
Before Lin Fei could speak, the young man spoke. He said, "I didn't kill anyone."
