"I...I don't know!"

Zhang Ligen cried loudly, and slapped himself several times in pain, loud and clear, and his cheeks swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Yu Xian said the same thing at the time, but at that time I ate too much lard and my heart was swollen. I thought that if the police found out and were arrested and sent to jail, my life would be over. I knelt on the ground and begged Yu Xian not to leave.

I went to call the police. Yuxian beat me with a stick more than ten times. She also cried that day...and asked me if I didn't want her anymore and didn't plan to marry her?"

"I said, how can we get married if we have no money?"

"Yuxian said that if the money is gone, you can make money again. She has been waiting for me for several years before, and she can continue to wait... The worst is, she will run away from home and follow me to work along the coast. The two of us can always make money.

Faster than one person."

Hearing this, the policeman in charge of recording Hu Pingtao was very moved.

"It seems that He Yuxian is not so unreasonable!" Thinking about how she yelled and made trouble at the police station before, Hu Pingtao felt that they were two different people: "She is even willing to elope with you. Such a woman, under the influence of

It’s hard to find lanterns.”

Zhang Ligen lowered his head that he had just raised, and said timidly: "...I...didn't promise her."

"Why?" Hu Pingtao found it really difficult to understand.

Zhang Ligen sighed: "I've had enough of that kind of life... The place where I work is in Guangzhou, and the people there are really rich! There are many morning tea shops, and the elderly people go to drink tea every morning, called

Serve various snacks, one

I sat there all morning. I have been to a Guangzhou restaurant, but I didn’t go in, so I stood outside and watched through the glass. Siew mai, shrimp dumplings, lotus leaf chicken, chicken feet with soy sauce, roast duck, wontons, preserved egg and lean meat porridge...that

The scent is simply indescribable.”

"In those years, in order to save money, my stomach was empty and there was almost no oil or water. Let alone meat, I could swallow even a piece of lard. Even I don't know where I got such patience.

Don’t spend money randomly. People who used to be gangsters

They all say: After being in prison for a long time, sows always have double eyelids when they see them. My situation at that time was similar to this. If I hadn't wanted to save enough money to go home and get married, I would have really wanted to rush in and take over.

Set up a table, order a lot of delicious food, and have a great time."

"Perhaps it was because I lost all my money and all my energy that night with a "two-three-five chop bomb."

"Maybe I'm really tired."

"In short, I don't want to try or think about that kind of wandering life anymore. People who go out are just like stray dogs! They will be looked down upon wherever they go."

"Why bother? It's just getting married! At worst, I will live alone from now on, and I won't have to look at Yuxian's father's stinky face. Although my parents died early, they left me several acres of thin farmland. Although

Working in the fields is dirty and tiring, and I don't make much money all year round, but after all, I live in my own village and live comfortably."

"I told Yuxian at that time: I won't go. I really don't want to go out. Anyway, things are already like this. There is no regret medicine in this world. Just do whatever you want!"

For some reason, Su Xiaolin's shadow suddenly appeared in Hu Pingtao's mind.

"What happened next?" He felt that everything Zhang Ligen said was partially related to his own experience.

Zhang Ligen's body was shaking slightly: "Yu Xian beat me very badly that day. Especially after I said those words, she picked up the stick and hit me like crazy... It hurts, I really can't bear it anymore

, and screamed. The neighbor next door heard it and came over to see what was going on. He persuaded Yuxian to pull her, but she continued to beat her regardless. Later, the stick was broken, and the neighbor also called more people. Finally, it was

Stop her."

"I was beaten to pieces in many places, and there was blood everywhere. Yuxian was very angry and asked me in front of everyone: There are only two ways, either we go out to work together to make money again, or she breaks up with me.

.”

As he spoke, Zhang Ligen lowered his head and began to sob: "...I...I am a grown man! What can I say in front of so many people! Elopement... In the past, once it was

If you are caught, you will be immersed in a pig cage. She is shameless, and I still want to do it. It’s okay to talk about it in private, but how... how can it be made public? "

Hu Pingtao couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his forehead: "...Okay, let's continue."

"Yuxian was very angry that day. Even if she was stopped by someone, she would still find an opportunity to rush over and kick me hard. Yuxian told me in front of everyone: The matter between us is over. From now on

From now on, everyone will break up."

These words were full of meaning. Referring to the known facts, Hu Pingtao asked doubtfully and uncertainly: "So, He Yuxian married Zheng Qianshan out of revenge?"

Zhang Ligen was in a low mood: "I don't know the specific story. I heard from the villagers that she took the initiative to find Zheng Qianshan and asked him if he wanted to marry her... She was very good-looking. How could a low-life like Zheng Qianshan not be willing to do so?"

In addition, since he had money, he spread the news to the outside world, saying that he was introduced by a matchmaker, and got married in time for the Chinese New Year."

Hu Pingtao's eyes flickered: "So from that time on, you hated Zheng Qianshan?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ligen slowly shook his head: "When it comes to hatred... I can't really talk about it. At first, I hated Zheng Qianshan so much that I gritted my teeth, but then things passed and time passed, and this idea faded away.

Why should we hate her? We are all from the village, and we never look up or down. Even though He Yuxian and I had a good relationship before, she beat her up and scolded her. I never even hated her, let alone Zheng Qianshan?"

The policeman who was taking the note had his eyes widened when he heard it. He couldn't help but turn his head, only to find that Hu Pingtao also turned to look at him at the same time. The two looked at each other, both of them dumbfounded, surprised, resentful, and contemptuous... and more of them were exclusive to him.

The complex psychology of men.

Hu Pingtao smacked his lips, feeling that this was too hard to talk about: "Zheng Qianshan defrauded you of your money and married your woman... Zhang Ligen, isn't this your motive for committing the crime?"

Zhang Ligen looked coldly: "At that time, I never thought about killing him. Although I don't have much education, I still understand the principle of killing people to pay for their lives."

Hu Pingtao couldn't understand his strange brain circuit: "Since you have this kind of consciousness, why do you want to murder Zheng Qianshan now?"

Zhang Ligen completely shied away all responsibility in one sentence: "I didn't want to kill him, it was He Yuxian who wanted his life."

Hu Pingtao suddenly felt that the case was far from being as simple as he imagined, and asked strangely: "Isn't He Yuxian his wife?"

Zhang Ligen said: "Educated people have a saying called "the appearance is in harmony with the spirit." When Yuxian married Zheng Qianshan, it was just out of anger. Even Zheng Qianshan, an old-timer, even the girls of serious families looked down upon him. Yuxian married him.

She regretted it. The next year, she quietly came to me and said that if she had another chance, she would not marry Zheng Qianshan even if she married a ghost."

"But what can we do? We are already married, not to mention she was pregnant at that time."

"Then the child was born, a girl. Yuxian hated Zheng Qianshan, and incidentally she didn't like this daughter. She had always disliked her since she was a child. She was only four years old, in the dead of winter! She just let the child carry the basin and use cold water.

Washing clothes... When she got older, if it weren't for the national policy that all children must go to school, it would be impossible for Yuxian to let her study."

"The child did not continue studying after graduating from junior high school. Yuxian said that "the family had no money to support her", but in fact it was because she was Zheng Qianshan's daughter. However, Yuxian raised the child to be very filial, even if she felt that her mother

No matter how bad he treats her, he still recognizes this family. So he gets married early, and Yuxian saves trouble and gives her a dowry, out of sight and out of mind."

Hu Pingtao raised his hand to touch the cigarette case on the table and asked with interest: "He Yuxian and Zheng Qianshan have a bad relationship. Did she tell you these things?"

Zhang Ligen nodded numbly.

Hu Pingtao's questions immediately became sharp: "Let's talk about this case! Premeditated murder, as well as Wang Qingguo, Yang Dafu and Tao Xingzheng. How did you plan it specifically?"

Zhang Ligen's throat twitched, and he could tell that he had to swallow hard. He stammered: "Well...this matter actually has nothing to do with me. It was He Yuxian who was behind it."

"Why?" Hu Pingtao simply ignored his explanation. Although he was a little surprised, the question went straight to the core.

"You have to ask He Yuxian about this. I don't know the specific situation very well." Zhang Ligen kept secretly looking at Hu Pingtao, uneasy, and his words became more and more cunning: "But... I know more or less.

Zheng Qianshan has very strong control over money. Even if he usually gives money to He Yuxian

Living expenses were also counted, let alone a dime, even two cents of salt. Of course, these were those years, and money became less and less valuable later on, let alone pennies.

Even cents were rare, and later I even lost one dime and two cents, and only used fifty cents and one yuan."

"I still can't understand many of Yuxian's thoughts. She came to me in private and said all kinds of bad things about Zheng Qianshan. She also said that she didn't want to live with Zheng Qianshan and wanted to divorce, and then told me... To be honest, at that time I

I was a little tempted, but after thinking about it carefully, I refused."

"Wait!" Hu Pingtao suddenly interrupted him: "Since He Yuxian regrets the marriage and dislikes her and Zheng Qianshan's daughter in various ways, and even abuses her, why has she been enduring it until now?

?”

Zhang Ligen explained it all in one sentence: "I don't know about this either. You have to ask Yuxian."

Hu Pingtao smiled: "You may appear to be an honest person on the surface, but in fact you have a lot of thoughts. Don't worry! We keep the transcript confidential, and nothing you say here can be spread. Don't

I understand that those who work as police officers are all stupid. According to normal logic, if a woman has a bad feeling for men, she will be resistant to various things. Sexual life, especially in life

It’s even more obvious when it comes to children.”

"Thinking about it, if I were in He Yuxian's position, even if Zheng Qianshan has many methods and is strong, according to what you said before, He Yuxian is also a strong-willed woman. Since she dares to make up her mind to marry Zheng Qianshan, in the disharmonious marriage

, with her dislike for Zheng Qianshan getting stronger and stronger, she would not even give Zheng Qianshan a chance to touch her body, let alone giving birth to a child."

"He Yuxian has a daughter and a son. The boy was born later, which doesn't make sense logically. If a woman is determined to have an abortion, there are too many ways. What's more, analyzing what you just said, He Yuxian and

It’s obvious that there’s no end to the romance between you.”

Hu Pingtao tapped the table with his fingers a few times, and his tone suddenly became serious: "Zhang Ligen, I advise you to tell the truth honestly and don't take chances. Otherwise, when the time comes, you will be punished for several crimes and you will only be punished for the rest of your life."

If you can stay in jail, you will never get out."

Zhang Ligen lowered his head, with cold sweat covering his forehead.

He never expected that a few simple sentences would reveal so many secrets.

Hu Pingtao continued to press forward: "The responsibility that should be yours is yours. It's useless even if others blame it on you if it's not yours. In fact, by now, the entire case has basically become clear. What we want to understand are just the details."

Looking at Zhang Ligen who lowered his head and kept silent, Hu Pingtao was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Actually, there is no blood relationship between Zheng Xiagang and Zheng Qianshan at all. He is the child of you and He Yuxian!"

These words woke up Zhang Ligen like thunder. He suddenly raised his head, opened his mouth and looked at Hu Pingtao in disbelief.

"...you...how did you know?" That expression looked like he had seen a ghost.

In fact, Hu Pingtao also guessed, but he would not admit it in any case. He was very satisfied with Zhang Ligen's reaction and said coldly: "If you want others to not know, you have to do nothing about it. Today's medical methods are so

If you are developed, you can know your blood relationship by just doing a genetic test. As I said, don’t try to hide anything from the police. It’s two different things if you take the initiative to confess and we find out. Either you confess and get leniency, or you go to jail.

Choose yourself.”

Zhang Ligen was completely confused.

People who appear to be honest are actually not honest.
