the night before yesterday,
Miao and Mei You hurried over after receiving the news.
As soon as the mother and daughter entered the main room, they saw two strange men suddenly appearing in the main room, which shocked Mrs. Miao.
Fortunately, Mei Sanma was also here, and the mother and daughter walked towards him.
Mei You looked at Mei Berry standing in the corner, saw her waving, and stood next to Mei Berry again.
The two families and two strange men from out of town were all crowded into the main room, and the environment suddenly became a little cramped.
But no one present complained.
Now it seems that Mei Youqian's trip was worthwhile.
Wei Meili washed and cut the wild pears that Plumberry had just picked in the afternoon, cut them into pieces, and handed them to everyone. Plumberry also tasted a piece. It was not very sweet, but it was full of water, refreshing and quenching thirst.
"I'd better introduce these two first."
When Mei Youqian saw that everyone had arrived, he introduced the two people he had brought back in detail.
He pointed to the tall, muscular man sitting on his left and said, "This is Agent Qian, the agent of the Gaoqu County Government."
Everyone was shocked, and Mei Bei didn't expect that her father's trip would alert the government.
"This is Li Youtian from Lijia Village below Gaoshan Town."
Mei Youqian pointed at the thin man with fair skin and fox eyes sitting next to Detective Qian.
Regarding his identity, everyone looked at Li Youtian with a hint of inquiry.
Seeing everyone's confusion, Mei Youqian slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, he also has another identity. He is Chen Baodan's brother-in-law."
"What?!"
Chen Baodan’s brother-in-law!
Be good!
Meiberry and Meiyu looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.
After introducing the two people, Mei Youqian told everything about what happened to him and Mei Sanma in Gaoshan Town these two days.
Chen Baodan just got married last month, but the bride died "suddenly" at the beginning of this month!
As everyone knows, Chen Baodan went out to visit relatives with his grandmother, and the bride got an emergency at home and died suddenly.
Meiberry and the others only heard this, and when they thought about this Agent Qian, they knew there was something hidden in it.
Later, when Meiberry heard her father digging graves in the middle of the night and stealing coffins to find corpses for autopsies, the corners of Meiberry's eyes twitched and her eyes drifted to the policeman beside her.
Seeing the calm expression on Agent Qian's face, as if he accepted it well, Mayberry couldn't help but doubt her life.
Is it really okay to steal a coffin and conduct a private autopsy?
Her father's behavior won't be settled by Qiu Hou, right?
In fact, it stands to reason that an autopsy requires the consent of the relatives of the corpse.
What a coincidence.
While inquiring about news in the town that day, Mei Youqian and the others bumped into Li Youtian who came to the town to buy medicine.
Originally, Mei Youqian heard that the Li family had reached a private settlement with the Chen family, but when he met Li Youtian, he realized that everything was a misinformation.
Just because his granddaughter Li Huiniang died suddenly and suddenly, Old Man Li, who had always loved his only granddaughter, could not bear the blow and became seriously ill in bed.
The entire Li family, who had previously gone to the Chen family to seek justice, stopped midway because Old Li's condition suddenly worsened.
As for accepting the money from the old Chen family, the Chen family did come over and give the money when they heard that Old Man Li was seriously ill, but because the Chen family said they hoped they would accept the money, they just let it go.
Therefore, the Li family has not touched the money, and Li Youtian even had to pay someone at the medical clinic on credit to buy medicine that day.
So Mei Youqian and the others came on the scene and helped Li Youtian.
Because they knew Li Youtian's identity, Mei Youqian directly expressed his intention to come, and said that the grandson of the Chen family wanted to get a wife outside!
Everyone in the old Li family couldn't sit still after hearing the news. Even the old man of the Li family who was seriously ill in bed sat up from the hospital bed and threatened to seek justice for his granddaughter!
It was agreed that their grandson would go out first, and his granddaughter was gone now. The one who went out first was able to figure it out and was looking for a wife outside?
Under Mei Youqian's suggestion, it was a matter of course to dig graves in the middle of the night to find the deceased for autopsy.
But after all, it was a hot day, and the body had only been buried for a few days. When it was dug out for autopsy, Mei Youqian and others were vomited as soon as the coffin was opened.
But getting the truth after the autopsy was far more emotional than the stench emanating from the corpse!
Li Youtian immediately lay down beside the coffin and cried non-stop.
Mei Youqian and Mei Sanma stood outside the Yi Zhuang, and even cursed the beasts after listening to Wu Zuo's description.
There was a fatal wound on the Li family's neck. Even though she had been dead for many days, when the coffin was opened and the body was examined for autopsy, there were already many traces of corruption and corpses, but there were still clearly visible fingerprints on the strangled neck.
Not only that, Li Youtian's sister also suffered multiple injuries on her skull.
The bridge of the nose, the cheekbones on the face were broken and dented, and even a few teeth were missing.
Not to mention the limbs and torso, there were traces of beatings all over his body. He even felt that even without the pinch wound on his neck, this person would not survive long with such serious injuries.
Even now that Mei Youqian said Wu Zuo's words again, his eyes still felt sore, and Li Youtian, a grown man present, still couldn't control his tears.
"This is worse than a beast!"
Wei Meili gritted her teeth and cursed.
Although Mei Youqian did not name who did this, everyone already agreed that it was Chen Baodan.
Miao's face turned pale when he heard this.
"This... this is too cruel!" Mrs. Miao looked at Mei Bei and Mei You worriedly. The two girls were also silent at the moment.
"This is a crime, no one cares?!"
Wei Meili was so angry that her voice couldn't help but get a little louder.
As soon as she finished speaking, the money agent immediately coughed and silently expressed that someone was still in charge.
"We have asked the man to make a corpse injury report, which can be used as evidence after reporting the case to the magistrate."
"What? You, you haven't reported the crime yet?" Wei Meiliang suddenly became confused after hearing their words, "Why did the police come without reporting the crime?"
"Brother Qian is from our village and has some relatives with our family. It just so happened that Brother Qian happened to be on family leave in the village these days... He came across this incident and came here to help us."
Li Youtian explained.
After all, if the autopsy is performed, even if the relatives agree, the report on the body injuries is not something they, the common people, want, and someone from the government must be present.
"The main reason is that the Gaoqu County government office is a bit far from the town. If I submit the complaint first, then hand over the evidence, and wait for the county magistrate to order the arrest. This takes too long, and I'm afraid Chen Baodan will run away!"
This is also the reason why Li Youtian and the others came here specially. He wanted to kidnap Chen Baodan to the county government!
When the time comes, all the evidence will be handed over and the verdict will be pronounced in court!
Detective Qian also knew about this matter from beginning to end, so he came here specially, so that if Chen Baodan resisted and escaped or something, he could still suppress the enemy.
To put it bluntly, it is just pulling the skin of a tiger to achieve big things.
"So you came here today just to catch Chen Baodan, right?"
After listening for so long, Meiberry suddenly asked.
Li Youtian and Detective Qian nodded and said, "Yes, now we have both witnesses and physical evidence."
"What witness?"
Mayberry raised a very fatal question about what they mentioned from beginning to end——
"All you said can only prove that the death of the Li family's wife was caused by being strangled to death and suffered abuse during her lifetime. It was not the death of an emergency as claimed by the Chen family.
This doesn't prove that she was beaten to death by Chen Baodan? "
"But the Chen family said that my sister died suddenly after Chen Baodan and his grandmother left, so why did they find a new wife when they came out?
They must know that my sister is dead! In other words, my sister died before Chen Baodan left! If he didn't feel guilty, why would he run out to avoid the limelight? "
"Yes, even if it is proven that your sister died before Chen Baodan left, can you prove that your sister was strangled to death by Chen Baodan?"
"If it wasn't Chen Baodan, it would have been the Chen family. Anyway, their family must have harbored the murderer!"
The more Li Youtian talked, the angrier he became. He glared at Mei Berry, feeling as if she was trying to excuse Chen Baodan.
Seeing this, Mei You looked at Detective Qian and asked, "If after arresting Chen Baodan, he keeps denying that he was not the one who hurt the Li family's wife, can the corpse injury report made by him really lead to a conviction?"
"this……"
Now it was Detective Qian's turn to hesitate. With his hesitation, the newly heated heads of others present gradually cooled down.
Yes, everything they did before was based on speculation that Chen Baodan was violent, beat his newlywed wife to death and then went out to hide in the limelight.
As long as the other party is caught and the other party confesses, everything will be over.
But in fact, if it is true as Mei Mei and Mei You said, what if Chen Baodan denies it?
"Even if Chen Baodan did it, what if his family helped him take the blame? And what if the Chen family directly poured dirty water on the dead Li family's wife?"
"How could you blame my sister?" Li Youtian frowned when he heard Mei Bei's question.
Regarding Li Youtian's doubts about this point, Meiberry twitched her lips.
This is not impossible.
Because her aunt had not been able to meet anyone from her own family or Mei You's family in the past few days, she immediately started to spread the news in the village that she wanted to come back to marry her grandson.
Intentionally or unintentionally, the topic is led to the topic of kissing and kissing.
Aunt Wang was well-informed and specifically told them this. Later, her mother gave some kudzu powder to Aunt Wang and kept it for her daughter-in-law's health.
He also asked Aunt Wang to "talk" to the two of them outside on weekdays when she had nothing to do.
In this regard, Mayberry has no doubt that Plum Blossom will do anything to throw dirty water on the dead.
"What if the Chen family says they concealed the cause of your sister's death because she died in a disgraceful way, such as being raped, killed and tortured to death by a foreign man? The Chen family only covered it up to avoid embarrassment, what should you do?"
"She dares!"
After Mei Bei said this, Li Youtian stood up directly, his blood surged, and his eyes instantly turned red: "How dare she say that?!"
"Why doesn't she dare?! She even dared to take people out in advance to avoid the limelight, so why doesn't she dare?"
Mei You also added calmly, "Right now, we'd better determine first, why did you all think it was Chen Baodan when you learned that the Li family's wife died tragically?
First of all, excluding the guilty behavior of the Chen family, why did you target Chen Baodan?
Just because he came out during this sensitive time and acted as if he already knew the fact that his wife was dead?
Why is my grandmother, who also came out to hide from the limelight, not a target of suspicion? "
Meiyou and Meiberry hoped more than anyone else that the real culprit was Chen Baodan, so they were even more cautious to prevent them from changing their story later!
"The wound, yes! The fingerprint on the wound where I strangled my sister's neck!"
Li Youtian was also forced by a series of questions from Mei Mei and Mei You and finally thought of the key point!
"I have roughly estimated the shape and size of the opponent's palm. Among the Chen family, only Chen Baodan's palm is the most suitable."
This can be regarded as key evidence, but in Mayberry's opinion... it's still not enough.
Meiberry suddenly smiled and said, "Now, all he has to do is admit it himself."
"How could he admit it?"
Everyone felt that Mei Berry's words were a bit whimsical.
Unexpectedly, Mei Bei turned to look at Mei You, winked and said, "Don't do anything wrong."
Sisters Meiyou and Meiberry looked at each other and smiled, and then Meiyou continued what she said: "You are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

I naively thought I could finish writing this in two chapters in one day, but in the end, Chen Baodan made a big mistake first, then broke the defense and completely disappeared, and it will definitely end tomorrow! ! Tomorrow is a good day for that guy to break the defense! ! I have something to do during the day today. When I come back in the evening, I will revise the draft I have written later.
