LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 58 - I
Jing Xingzhi frowned, put on the coat that was handed to him, and asked clearly while getting dressed: “What clues are in our yard, and where exactly are they? Who is the eldest son of the Cheng family?”
Almost everyone knew that they had just arrived today, and there was a 100% chance that they would be innocently implicated.
Jing Xingzhi felt that Cheng Wei was a smart man and would not doubt him even if he was dizzy. However, being so involved made Jing Xingzhi, who had not slept well, feel very unhappy.
If he didn’t feel comfortable, the person who attacked them wouldn’t feel comfortable either.
The servant replied: “It’s a finger! Under the wall of our courtyard, hidden in the grass, a dog took it out.”
“A finger? It must be the eldest son of the Cheng family?”
“It’s right, it should be.”
Jing Xingzhi nodded and walked to the courtyard gate where the servants were surrounding in a circle.
Jing Xingzhi looked at Cheng Wei and said, “My condolences, Prefect Cheng.”
When Cheng Wei heard these two words, his eyebrows jumped suddenly, and his eyes were filled with anger: “There is no need to express my condolences, let’s find out the matter first. In my government office, my own son actually died? He was cut into pieces! Who would dare to believe it!”
Cheng Wei held a bloody handkerchief with a bulge in the middle. Jing Xingzhi took a glance and saw that the shape should be the finger mentioned by the servant.
Cheng Wei squeezed the thing in his hand tightly, controlled his expression, and said to Jing Xingzhi: “Brother, you just arrived at Hannan Prefeture today. I doubt anyone will doubt you. It’s just my son’s finger, was found in your yard, can you let this dog that smells blood to look for it again?”
Although it was a question, Cheng Wei used a declarative tone. It could be seen that no matter whether Jing Xingzhi agrees or not, he must be searched.
His son died, and his body was cut into pieces, so Jing Xingzhi sympathized with Cheng Wei.
He nodded and said generously: “Brother Cheng, let’s take this dog and look for it. It’s a good thing to find them all.”
The words ‘find them all’ made Cheng Wei feel pain. He gritted his teeth and his eyes spit fire: “If I catch the thief, I will cut them into pieces!”
After Cheng Wei said this, he personally led the flexible black native dog inside.
Behind Cheng Wei, Xu Zhongqi held Cheng Huan’s hand and patted Cheng Huan’s back: “Don’t be afraid, your father is here.”
Xu Zhongqi said comforting words to Cheng Huan, but her eyes looked at Cheng Wei’s back. In Xu Zhongqi’s opinion, Cheng Wei looked like a virtuous brother to Jing Xing, but turned around to search for things, which showed that he really cared about Cheng Yule.
But that disgusting thing had no use, besides spending money, he liked to sleep with women!
Xu Zhongqi knew how much Cheng Wei cared about getting promoted, but looking back, Cheng Wei could actually do this for the dead Cheng Yule. If it were her Huan’er… she was afraid Cheng Wei wouldn’t even fart.
Why Cheng Yule could take the Cheng family’s route and directly become an official, but her Huan’er couldn’t… The Cheng family only has one quota for this chance. If Cheng Yule was gone, he wouldn’t compete with her Huan’er.
Xu Zhongqi came back to her senses, lowered her head, and patted the pale Cheng Huan’s back again, and coaxed softly: “Don’t be afraid, mother is here too.”
Cheng Huan shrank his neck, nodded, and swallowed: “I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid.”
Jing Xingzhi glanced at the mother and son a few times, wondering in his mind who put that finger in his yard?
Who was offended by him since he came here? If someone was offended, it was whoever did it.
But Jing Xingzhi only showed up a few times. Could it be that he was blocking someone’s way?
This matter was difficult for Jing Xingzhi to investigate, but Cheng Wei was a local snake. Jing Xingzhi felt that he should tell Cheng Wei when he came out.
After a while, Cheng Wei and Wang Zhuang both came out.
Jing Xingzhi saw that Wang Zhuang’s expression remained normal, and he knew there wasn’t much in the room.
Cheng Wei, with a sullen face, apologized to Jing Xingzhi: “I didn’t find anything. I’m disturbing my brother’s rest.”
Jing Xingzhi waved his hands: “Brother Cheng, don’t worry about this. Since the murderer threw things into my yard, I think there will be a lot of trouble. At least eight or nine times, I’m an eyesore to the other party. I don’t know much about the affairs of Hannan Prefecture. But based on this, Brother Cheng can guess who the murderer is.”
Cheng Wei looked incomprehensible after hearing Jing Xingzhi’s words. He bowed to this little brother who behaved quite grandly, and then left with a sullen face.
.
Cheng Wei left Zhixin Courtyard and immediately glanced coldly at Xu Zhongqi, asking Xu Zhongqi to follow him to the nearest flower hall.
“Did you, do it?” Cheng Wei gritted his teeth and stared at Xu Zhongqi coldly.
Xu Zhongqi’s eyebrows stood up: “Husband! How could it be me? Don’t accuse me unjustly!”
“Who else could it be besides you? I didn’t guess it was you at first, so I just followed the black dog that could smell the blood. I don’t want to doubt you!” Cheng Wei shouted, veins popping up on both sides of his forehead.
“Aren’t you doubting me now?” Xu Zhongqi snapped, glaring at Cheng Wei, her plump body rising and falling with anger.
But the more Cheng Wei thought about it, the more he thought it was Xu Zhongqi.
