Madam let me die

Chapter 50
Li Nanke opened his eyes.

What came into view was a white round face with curved eyelashes and big eyes, which almost approached his face, staring straight at him.

You can even clearly feel the hot breath from the girl's nose.

"Oh, I was scared to death."

Seeing Li Nanke wake up, Meng Xiaotu patted the big cantaloupe and let out a long sigh of relief. "I thought something was wrong, if I knew about it, I would have used a firecracker to knock you back first."

The little girl beside her, Qinqin, hadn't woken up yet, but she no longer had nightmares.

"Where is Mr. Leng?"

Li Nanke asked subconsciously.

Meng Xiaotu pouted towards the corner. "I saw her there when I woke up. I don't know what's wrong. I don't seem to be in a good mood. It may be because of the serious internal injury that I couldn't fall asleep smoothly, and I was very upset."

Li Nanke turned to look at the woman in the corner.

The girl sat quietly on a low round stool, lowered her eyes, staring blankly at the ground without realizing it.The slender and moving figure imprinted a lonely silhouette on the wall with the halo of the lamp.

It wasn't until the man came to her side that she became alert.

Looking up, he found that it was Li Nanke, with a faint smile on his pale face. "Are you OK."

Li Nanke sat beside him. "I should ask you that."

Leng Xinnan shook her head, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "I'm fine, but it's a joke for you. I promised to protect you, but I couldn't do it."

"Heal your injury first, don't force it."

Obviously, Li Nanke also thought that the other party was lost because of internal injuries and failed to enter the dream of Hongyu.

Leng Xinnan didn't want to explain. Facing the man's concern, her heart felt warm. She got up and said, "Since the nightmare has been safely eliminated, let's go back first."

"Although the nightmare has been eliminated, the secret of this girl has not been solved yet."

Li Nanke's eyes were full of brilliance. "What did you see in the valley that night? Also, did she get lost accidentally, or was she left there on purpose?"

"Do you think there is something wrong with this family?" Leng Xinnan heard something wrong.

Li Nanke nodded and walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, Butcher Zheng, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng were waiting anxiously.

Seeing Li Nanke coming out, Mrs. Zheng hurried forward to ask. "Guan Ye, how is my granddaughter, she will be fine."

"Don't worry, she's all right."

Leng Xinnan comforted her.

Hearing this, everyone's hanging hearts finally fell.

The old lady Zheng wept with joy, pulled her daughter-in-law to kneel on the ground together, and kowtowed to Leng Xinnan and the others to thank them.

Leng Xinnan helped them up, and said calmly: "This is what we should do, but you should also take care of your children on weekdays, how can you throw them outside casually."

"Yes, yes, it's all because of our carelessness." Mrs. Zheng wiped her tears and scolded her son. "From now on, you are not allowed to take Qinqin to go hunting in the mountains! If something happens to my granddaughter, you little bastard will die and go outside!"

Butcher Zheng nodded repeatedly.

Madam Zheng lowered her cheeks, not knowing what she was thinking.

After the three thanked each other, they wanted to go into the house to visit, but Li Nanke stopped them.

"Wait, I have something to ask you."

Mrs. Zheng squeezed out a smile. "My lord, what do you want to ask?"

Li Nanke walked up to Butcher Zheng and asked, "Tell me about the specific situation six days ago. How did your daughter get lost?"

Zheng Butcher's bronzed face was full of self-blame, and he said slowly: "That day, as usual, I took her to the mountains to hunt, and I planned to go back in the afternoon, but I happened to find a small deer.

The little deer fell into the trap I set and escaped hastily.So I asked Qinqin to wait in place first, and I chased after her.But when I came back, I found that Qinqin was gone. "

Li Nanke asked again: "Did you often take Qinqin to hunt before?"

"That's right, this girl has a personality like mine, she is more outgoing and lively, and likes to hunt." Butcher Zheng talked about his daughter with a bit of doting on his face. "Sometimes I also teach her some hunting skills."

Li Nanke raised his eyebrows. "So, when you hunted your prey before, you often let Qinqin wait in place."

Butcher Zheng nodded. "This girl is very obedient, and the places I take her hunting are all familiar areas, and it is easy to get lost in the deep forest, so I dare not take her there.

Maybe this time Qinqin saw the hare she liked, so she chased it curiously, but she didn't expect to get lost in the deep forest. "

At the end, Butcher Zheng couldn't help but slapped himself hard.

It could be seen that he really blamed himself.

Li Nanke thought for a while, and asked, "Have you ever been hunting in the deep forest?"

"Naturally."

Butcher Zheng didn't hide anything. "I am quite familiar with the deep mountains and woods in this place. The reason why I hunt is that my father taught me when I was young.

At that time, he often took me hunting in the deep mountains and forests, and sometimes my mother would follow to pick some game ingredients.When I didn't bring Qinqin, I would go to the deep forest, and my wife would sometimes follow her, but she was a bit of a wanderer, and she almost got lost several times. "

Road idiot?

Li Nanke glanced at Mrs. Zheng thoughtfully.

He let Leng Xinnan continue to question him, while he walked slowly around the courtyard and other rooms.

Intuition told him that there must be something inside.

There are some hunting tools, animal skins and smoked meat in the courtyard. Except for a tree, there are no other flowers and plants.

Li Nanke entered the room and checked one by one.

It was found that a statue of a god was enshrined directly opposite the door of the main house, and some strange talismans were painted on the pillars on both sides.

Entering Mrs. Zheng's house, there are also large and small statues enshrined inside.

It can be seen that this old lady has a lot of faith.

After wandering around for a while, when Li Nanke walked to the side room, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the pairs of shoes in the bamboo basket that were ready to be cleaned.

The shoes were a bit dirty, both for kids and adults.

It seems that they went to the mountains to find Qinqin six days ago, and they changed the shoes after returning.

Probably too busy to clean it.

Li Nanke picked up the shoes one by one and observed them. Gradually, the corners of his lips curved into a sneer: "There is indeed a problem."

Li Nanke returned to Butcher Zheng's family, just in time to hear Leng Xinnan questioning Mrs. Zheng.

"I heard that your child died two months after birth?"

Mrs. Zheng was startled, with a sad expression on her face, she nodded slightly. "Yes."

"what reason?"

"I got a cold, and I saw a doctor. They said it was a lung infection. Although I prescribed medicine, it didn't improve. Then..." Mrs. Zheng shed tears.

"Cold?"

Li Nanke was stunned and became suspicious. "Are you sure you died from the wind and cold? Can you tell me about the situation at that time?"

Mrs. Zheng choked up and said: "My mother-in-law and husband were not there that day. I was alone at home to take care of the child and gave the child the medicine to reduce the fever. While the child was asleep, I thought about going to the nearby pharmacy to grab some medicine and come back, so as not to Husband and the others came back late, and the pharmacy was closed again.

After I came back from grabbing the medicine, I saw that the child was still asleep, so I didn't pay attention and went to the kitchen to cook.Unexpectedly, after a while, when I went to look again, I found that the child was out of breath. "

"After you leave, who else is at home?"

"Qinqin was alone, and she was asleep in another room."

"Do you remember the circumstances when your child died?"

Originally, this was just a random question from Li Nanke. After all, it has been so long, and it is difficult for anyone to remember it.

But Mrs. Zheng said sadly with tears in her eyes: "Of course I remember, even now, I can occasionally dream about my child's appearance when he died."

Li Nanke's eyes narrowed. "Can you describe it in detail?"

Mrs. Zheng tried her best to recall and said: "When I picked up the child, his body was very cold, his fists were clenched tightly, and his abdomen looked a little swollen. Moreover, the child's face and body looked a little red, and his mouth and There is blood foam coming out of the nose, sticky..."

"This is clearly death by drowning! Why did you die from a lung infection caused by wind and cold? Didn't you report it to the government for inspection?"

Hearing the woman's narration, Li Nanke's face turned cold, and he asked sharply.

drowning?

Butcher Zheng's family was stunned.

Judging from the reaction, it is clear that the family did not report to the authorities at that time.

"Officer, how could my son be drowning? He has been lying on the bed, where is the water coming from?"

Butcher Zheng blushed, not understanding.

After such a long time, he always thought that his son died of wind and cold, but now it turned into drowning.

How does this make him accept.

Li Nanke asked Mrs. Zheng: "Let me ask you, did the baby have any other injuries?"

"Other than a little bruise on the ankle, there are no other injuries."

Madam Zheng said.

Hearing this, Li Nanke has already made a judgment.

He walked to the kitchen, patted an old large water tank standing at the door, and said indifferently: "The baby was lifted into the water, and finally drowned. And judging from the time, it was definitely not an outsider who committed the crime. That is Say--"

Li Nanke stared at Mrs. Zheng. "It's someone from your family!"
