Madam let me die

Chapter 51 Can You Live Without a Piece of Heart?
The astonished expression on everyone's face was like hearing some absurd story, and their eyes were full of bewilderment and suspicion.

And Mrs. Zheng trembled, her eyes dodged.

"Let me talk about Qinqin first."

However, Li Nanke changed the topic at this time, and no longer mentioned the inside story of the baby's drowning death.

He walked up to Mrs. Zheng and asked, "Six days ago, your son took his granddaughter to the mountains to hunt, and your daughter-in-law was doing housework at home. Excuse me, where have you been?"

"Grandma, she went to Lichen Temple to offer incense." Mrs. Shen said.

"I'm asking you?"

Li Nanke stared at Mrs. Zheng with sharp and slightly cold eyes, who turned pale and lowered her head in fright.

Old Madam Zheng showed bitterness on her wrinkled face. "Officer, my wife, I did go to Lichen Temple to offer incense that day. Before I came back, I heard that my neighbor said that my granddaughter was missing. My wife, I almost fainted at that time, so I hurried to look for it in the mountains with my daughter-in-law. Fortunately—"

"Tell me the time to go to the temple!" Li Nanke interrupted Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng hesitated for a moment, and said, "I went there at the beginning of Weishi, and I didn't come back until about four quarters you."

Mrs. Zheng dare not hide the time, after all, her daughter-in-law is here.

"About two and a half hours."

Li Nanke summed it up and said. "It takes half an hour to go back and forth from your home to Lichen Temple. During that time period, there should be very few pilgrims, and there is no long queue. Even if you are allowed to spend an hour to offer incense, what are you doing for the rest of the hour? ?”

"This one……"

Mrs. Zheng couldn't answer for a while.

"I need to think about this too? It's not about how many times you go to the latrine in a year."

Li Nanke almost forced the other party to answer by asking questions.

He even took a step forward on purpose, as if his whole body was about to press on him, which made Mrs. Zheng feel like she couldn't breathe.

Don't give her extra time to think.

"That's right." Li Nanke suddenly remembered something and said. "My wife also went to Lichen Temple that day. When she came back, she told me that Master Hengming was reciting scriptures in the main hall, and many people were watching. Maybe you went too."

Mrs. Zheng slapped her thigh fiercely, nodded and said, "I did listen to it for a long time, old lady, but I didn't quite understand it."

"I can go to the uncle's old bastard!"

Unexpectedly, Li Nanke swears directly in the next second. "My daughter-in-law doesn't go there at all, I made it up!"

Mrs. Zheng froze her smile and froze on the spot, with one hand trembling involuntarily.

The opponent's rank is too low, so Li Nanke has no challenge.

The voice of speaking is somewhat lazy.

Li Nanke said indifferently: "Although Qinqin is only eight years old, she often learns hunting from her father, and is especially cautious about the terrain of the mountains and forests. The possibility of her getting lost on her own initiative is very slim.

There is only one possibility, when Butcher Zheng was chasing his prey, someone deliberately brought Qinqin to an unfamiliar environment.

This person is definitely not an outsider, and Qinqin is not that stupid.

So the person who took her away must be known by Qinqin, and she has unreserved trust in him!
Then there are only two, one is Mrs. Zheng and the other is Mrs. Zheng. "

Li Nanke put the two pairs of shoes he picked out before Zheng Butcher's family, and said in a cold voice. "These two pairs of shoes, one belongs to Qinqin and the other belongs to Mrs. Zheng.

Only their shoes were stained with the same beast dung and pollen.Butcher Zheng, you also said that Mrs. Zheng is a road idiot and often gets lost.

And Mrs. Zheng followed your father to the deep mountains to pick game ingredients when you, Butcher Zheng, were young, so she is very familiar with the terrain of the deep mountains.From this, it can be confirmed that Mrs. Zheng deliberately threw Qin Qin away in the mountains that day!
This also explains why Qinqin has been reluctant to speak after being frightened.Because in the mind of the eight-year-old girl, grandma has changed from the dearest person...to a demon. "

The courtyard was as quiet as if the mute button had been pressed.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Zheng with shocked eyes. No one would have expected that this kind and amiable old lady would leave her own granddaughter in the wilderness.

"Mom, you...you..."

Butcher Zheng couldn't believe his ears and stuttered. "Could it be that you really... lost Qinqin on purpose?"

Seeing Mrs. Zheng's silence as if resigned to her fate, Butcher Zheng almost went crazy, and asked with red eyes. "Why, mother, she is your granddaughter! Why on earth are you doing this, mother!"

At this time, Mrs. Zheng finally tore off that hypocritical mask.

She stomped her feet and hissed: "Son, that girl is the life of our Zheng family. You haven't had a son to carry on the family until now, it's because of that girl!"

Butcher Zheng was full of anger. "Mother, until now, do you still believe in those lies about gods and celestial masters?"

Mrs. Zheng said stubbornly: "My mother doesn't want to believe it, but the facts are right in front of my eyes. Since this girl was born, your two sons are gone, and you haven't had another one until now, because this girl is too strong The incense of our Zheng family!

Son, I had a dream those days. I dreamed of a god and saint. He told me that as long as that girl leaves the Zheng family, your daughter-in-law will definitely give birth to a big fat boy to continue the incense, and your father will die and rest in peace. ! "

"are you crazy!"

Even Leng Xinnan couldn't help cursing. "Just because of those unfounded ghosts and gods, to harm your own granddaughter?"

Mrs. Zheng's face was distorted, a little crazy.

"What do you know! If the incense of my old Zheng's family is cut off by my son, what face does my old woman have to go to see his father and the ancestors? I am also doing it for the good of my son, and I am also doing it for our Zheng family. !"

No matter how hard Leng Xinnan could bear it, she shouted coquettishly, "Catch her and send her to the county government!"

Two officers from the Night Patrol Division stepped forward and clamped Mrs. Zheng's arms.

"Son! Qinqin must be driven away!"

Mrs. Zheng struggled desperately, still trying to convince Butcher Zheng. "This is the guidance of the venerable saint. He will not lie to us. Son, I don't want anything to happen to Qinqin, but there is no way."

As she said that, she yelled again from the room: "Qinqin! Grandma doesn't want to harm you, otherwise she wouldn't wait until now, but you have to leave this house! Your father can have a son only after you leave! Our Zheng family Only then can the incense be continued, Qinqin..."

Li Nanke shook his head speechlessly, and asked, "You drowned that baby, right?"

"That's because I wanted to treat my grandson!" Mrs. Zheng didn't want to admit that she had killed her grandson. "If the child doesn't think about it, he might really die. I went to ask the Taoist master that day, and he said that because my son was a butcher, he committed a crime of blood, which made my grandson infected with filth.

I have to use the method of 'washing the body' to let the grandson soak in the water, so that the filth and evil things contaminated will disappear. I am saving my grandson.

When my son contracted a cold, I also used this method to cure him.I didn't save my grandson because that girl killed our family.Son, you have to drive that girl away..."

"Drag out quickly!"

Leng Xinnan's eyes were burning with anger, and she didn't bother to take another look.

Amid the constant crying, Mrs. Zheng was forcibly dragged out of the yard.

Butcher Zheng wanted to chase after him, but he didn't know what to do, so he stood there blankly.

After a while, he sat slumped on the stool by the door again, holding his head in his hands, and kept beating his forehead with his fists.

One is his daughter, the other is his mother...Letting him in deep pain.

"Miss Cold!"

At this time, Meng Xiaotu suddenly called out.

It turned out that Qinqin woke up, but when she saw the room full of people, the little girl curled up again in fright, reacting violently.

"Little sister, don't be afraid."

Meng Xiaotu hastily stepped forward and put her arms in her arms to comfort her heart.

Maybe it was because she recognized this lovely sister, or maybe because Meng Xiaotu's chest was warm enough, the little girl's mood gradually stabilized, and she no longer resisted that much.

"Can I ask, what did this girl see that night?"

Li Nanke said.

Analyzing from the dream, Qinqin got lost and fell into an abandoned trap pit, and stayed there for a whole night.And that night, she saw something in the pothole, which left a psychological shadow.

After dawn the next day, she bravely climbed out of the pothole, and was discovered by the old hunter in the town and sent back home.

So the only thing that is confusing right now is what exactly did she see?
"Let the little rabbit ask."

Leng Xinnan suggested.

After all, Meng Xiaotu's cute appearance and lively personality are natural advantages for interrogating children.

Li Nanke nodded, indicating that everyone else should leave the room, leaving only Little Rabbit and Qinqin inside.

Li Nanke looked at the tearful Mrs. Zheng, and said lightly: "Actually, you guessed that it might be Mrs. Zheng who lost Qinqin, but you didn't tell your husband. Did you listen to Mrs. Zheng's nagging for a long time, and let you I also gradually believed that Qinqin was responsible for the death of my son back then."

Mrs. Zheng didn't say a word, her face was full of grief and shame.

Butcher Zheng rushed over and slapped the woman hard, but the next moment he hugged her again and couldn't help crying.

The other people in the courtyard looked at this scene with complicated expressions.

Li Nanke sighed. "Superstition kills people."

To him, this case was not difficult at all, it was far less complicated than Lin's, but it was even more chilling.

Lin Jiaoyue is purely harming people.

However, Mrs. Zheng was only thinking about saving her grandson and family.

It is this kind of ignorant 'rescue' that is the most heartbreaking.

"Go outside for some air?"

Perhaps seeing that the man was depressed, Leng Xinnan raised her chin and pointed to the courtyard door.

Li Nanke nodded, and the two walked out of the courtyard.

The night moon was shining brightly, covering the alleyway outside in a layer of silver gauze and jade snow, and it was still.

Feeling the night wind blowing on his face, Li Nanke calmed down a lot.

"Are you tired?"

Leng Xinnan didn't care about getting her clothes dirty, she leaned lightly on the gate post, crossed her hands in front of her chest and asked softly.

"No."

Li Nanke shook his head.

Leng Xinnan said quietly: "Entering the Night Patrol Division, you will experience many, many unforgettable things, you will see many, many human natures, and you will feel many, many helplessness."

"Are you going to give me psychological counseling in advance?"

Li Nanke stared at the side dimple of the woman beside him with some amusement, and the moving eyebrows dyed by the moonlight were condensed with a touch of sadness, which made the man's heart throb for no reason.

Li Nanke collected his emotions and said with a smile: "I'm just a little confused."

"Confused about what?"

"I do not want to say."

"Understood." The corners of Leng Xinnan's lips curved slightly, but with a bit of regret. "I'm also very confused now, and I don't want to say anything."

"Okay, I'll listen."

Li Nanke leaned against the doorpost next to the woman, being a listener.

"I do not want to say."

"Say it, if you don't tell me, I will really leave."

"..."

It was rare for Leng Xinnan, who had been caught in the dark, to turn red. Fortunately, she was covered by the darkness of night, so she would not be embarrassed.

The girl was inexplicably annoyed, feeling that the other party could handle her easily.

She asked in an angry tone: "Since you are so smart, guess why I am confused?"

"The family is urging the marriage?"

"roll!"

"That's it."

"..."

Leng Xinnan took a deep breath, calmed down, and said lightly. "Yes, but it is not this matter that is confused now."

"Oh, then I can't guess." The man conceded.

I thought you were really a god... The corners of the girl's lips were slightly raised, showing a little pride, and then her expression darkened again. After a long silence, she asked, "Do you think you can live without a piece of your heart?"

"Lack of heart?" Li Nanke frowned. "Are you sure you don't want to add the word 'eye' at the end?"
