LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 59 - II
After a while, two detectives walked out carrying a handful of things.
The oil paper bag was opened, and what was exposed inside were nine fingers. There are nine red threads tied to these nine fingers, and at the end of the nine threads was a tiger head hat.
Cheng Wei was in severe pain when he saw it, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He spit out the blood, wiped the corner of his mouth, turned around and pointed at Xu Zhongqi and said:
“You vicious woman, how can you do this? What are you doing with Yule’s finger?”
Xu Zhongqi sneered: “Ha, don’t you recognize me? That’s my dead son’s tiger head hat. As a father, how could you don’t recognize it?”
Cheng Wei looked at Xu Zhongqi, who used to sleep next to him. She was his wife, but the look on her face was frightened like an evil ghost.
Yes, fear. Cheng Wei never expected that Xu Zhongqi was still thinking about what happened more than ten years ago? He could even take Cheng Yule’s life directly for the sake of her grudges.
He felt his mouth dry for no reason, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then roared: “I told you; Yule was only a few years old at that time, he didn’t mean it! Just because of an unintentional mistake, you kill him and cut off his fingers to practice this evil technique! I think you are crazy!”
As Cheng Wei roared, Xu Zhongqi was grabbed by the shoulders by two other detectives and imprisoned.
Xu Zhongqi showed a bleak but crazy smile: “I have gone crazy a long time ago. Cheng Yule clearly did it on purpose. If he didn’t do it on purpose, why did his wet nurse commit suicide and throw herself into the well? Tell me, why? Why!”
Cheng Wei blushed: “His wet nurse committed suicide because there were servants in the house who wanted to bully her. She threw herself into the well to keep her innocence! Wasn’t it found out at that time?”
“Yes, but…” Xu Zhongqi lowered her head and shed tears. She looked at the still bright-colored tiger head hat infatuatedly: “But that result is partly true and partly false. Do you think I don’t know? My son is dead, Huanhuan is living a miserable life, having to be oppressed by this idiot all his life, how can you ask me to accept it…”
Cheng Wei looked at Xu Zhongqi’s dull face and followed her gaze… In the end, he fell to the point where he had no idea at all. On the small tiger head hat that couldn’t be worn by the child.
Why did it turn like this?
Cheng Wei’s hatred and incomprehension surged into his heart at the same time, and he felt bitter in his heart and mouth.
The servants and agents were as quiet as chickens, not daring to say a word.
The dog didn’t even bark. It lowered its head and rubbed against Jing Xingzhi, staring at a pair of big watery eyes as if asking what happened.
Jing Xingzhi touched the dog’s head with a faint look.
It was obviously another piece of gossip, but he didn’t know the cause and effect and didn’t comment on it. He just wanted to find out the truth behind the extra finger that was thrown into his yard.
Jing Xingzhi stood up straight and asked Xu Zhongqi in a loud voice: “Sister-in-law… I have never offended you, have I?”
Jing Xingzhi arrived at Cheng’s house for only half a day, and he was always good-natured and treated others kindly. Cheng Wei was very enthusiastic towards him, and he could never offend anyone in the Cheng family.
After hearing what he said, Xu Zhongqi was stunned for a moment, and then she took the initiative to admit it: “My servant made a mistake in doing something, and I’m sorry.”
“Hmph! Tell all the servants involved in this matter, otherwise don’t blame me. I want to cut them all off!” Cheng Wei looked at Xu Zhongqi with anger in his eyes.
Xu Zhongqi smiled faintly: “If I don’t explain, what are you going to do, Prefect Cheng?”
Cheng Wei was stunned, his eyes showing astonishment.
What could he do?
Killing would be punished by a life, but could he really take Xu Zhongqi’s life? If he openly publicized this matter, what about his reputation? Do you still need an official name?
If Xu Zhongqi was divorced, he wondered what Xu Zhongqi would do when she returns to her parents’ home?
It was better if….
Slowly, Cheng Wei’s eyes looking at Xu Zhongqi became colder, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Jing Xingzhi watched the interaction between the two and thought to himself that this sister-in-law was really a cruel person…
Cheng Wei at his age, there was a high probability that he would not be able to have any other children. Besides, Cheng Wei would not publicize the matter.
At most, Xu Zhongqi could secretly die of illness, but it would not affect the life of Cheng Huan, the only son. This was the worst outcome.
The best ending was that no accident happened and Black Dog found nothing. Even if he found the finger, it was only in his yard and had nothing to do with Xu Zhongqi. Xu Zhongqi dared to take action, and she was the person who managed the back house. It was easy for her to manage things sneakily.
It could be said that as long as Xu Zhongqi could hold Cheng Wei steady, she could escape perfectly!
The only strange thing was that the finger that appeared inexplicably…
But according to Xu Zhongqi’s thoughts and methods of doing things, would the servant miss it such a big movement?
The yard was always being guarded, so the finger probably had to fly into his yard accidentally before it appeared in his yard unexpectedly.
Just at this moment, a crying young man called out from behind: “Mother! Mother!”
Jing Xingzhi turned around and saw Cheng Huan.
