Chapter 164 Questioning Him
As soon as Chi Xia opened her mouth, everyone's attention was drawn to her.
Luo Xun also walked over and saw the sacrificial items on the ground that had not yet been taken out.
"Tomorrow is my man's birthday."
Feng Yuqin came over and rubbed her hands: "These are the things I prepared, but I haven't had time to put them up yet."
"Tomorrow..." Chi Xia asked, "Will those people in the photo come?"
"meeting."
Feng Yuqin smiled bitterly: "In the past few years, they didn't dare to come, and could only talk a few words on the phone. This year they agreed to come and meet."
"When was this decided?" Luo Xun asked.
Feng Yuqin glanced at the photo and said, "It was decided during the Chinese New Year."
"About your husband's death."
Chi Xia came over and asked: "Did they tell you anything? Why are you so sure that your husband was murdered? Also, was there anyone who went up the mountain with you to collect the body?"
Feng Yuqin squatted down to collect the offerings and incense sticks: "They are all gone. They sympathized with me because I was pregnant. They took turns carrying the body down. Regarding his death..."
Feng Yuqin put the fruit on a plate and placed it on the table in the main hall. "As for his death... they were afraid that I would think too much, so they told me that it was just an accident. I saw it myself. Sheng Qian told me that when people are trapped in the mountains, the most fearful thing is to have no dry food and water, so every time they go up the mountain, they will bring enough dry food."
Wei Guoliang, who had been too embarrassed to speak, asked at this time: "So, Brother Zhao, it's because you don't have enough dry food and water..."
"Yeah." Feng Yuqin's eyes were filled with hatred: "I was thirsty and hungry. The weather was very cold those two days. When I found the person..."
She choked up and didn't want to say anything more. When she found him, he had a kind face and a smile , with his clothes scattered aside.
She knew that her husband seemed peaceful, but before he died, he must have suffered the deepest pain in the world.
"You guys go."
She sighed, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and checked the time: "I still have to cook for the children, take care of my mother-in-law, and go to work in the afternoon. If you suspect that I killed those people, then you can investigate, just don't disturb my children."
"Sister Yu!" Wei Guoliang anxiously grabbed her arm: "Don't say that!"
Feng Yuqin pushed his hand away, her attitude cold: "Speaking of which, I am really grateful to this murderer. This means that I didn't misjudge the man. He didn't take his life on his own will. He just met some ungrateful people. If I had known that these people were the ones he rescued, I'm not sure if I would have killed them to avenge my husband."
Wei Guoliang was afraid that she would say something horrifying again: "Sister Yu, please stop talking!"
"Did I say something wrong?"
Feng Yuqin looked at them and said, "I've been educated, and I know that people shouldn't harm others without reason. But if it were anyone else, they would want to kill their enemies, otherwise how could they swallow the anger in their hearts? My fault is that I don't have the ability. They clearly harmed others, but why should people protect them?"
"They protected their names and their appearances, but the innocent victim, my husband, the man who went to save others, was left speechless because he was dead. His name his appearance, and even his children and wife were all exposed for people to point fingers at and discuss."
Wei Guoliang: "Sister Yu..."
"Yes, you may think that Yuji is just a small place, how big a deal can it get, but in a small place, the words spoken by people are more hurtful."
After saying these words, she finally let out a breath of anger. After taking a deep breath, she said again: "Let's go. I really have to be busy."
Luo Xun looked at Chi Xia and saw her nod, then glanced at the table in the hall.
"OK."
Luo Xun patted Wei Guoliang on the shoulder and pulled him over from Feng Yuqin: “If there is a chance, we will come tomorrow too.”
Feng Yuqin frowned: "What are you doing here?"
"I'll burn some incense." Luo Xun said, "Also, maybe I have some more questions for you, so we won't bother you today."
Feng Yuqin didn't say anything. After they left, she followed them out and said, standing on the steps, "You can come, but he..."
She pointed at Wei Guoliang: "Don't let him come."
Wei Guoliang became excited: "Sister Yu, what are you talking about? What's wrong with me that I can't come?"
Feng Yuqin didn't look at him, but only at Luo Xun and Chi Xia: "If you agree, then come."
Luo Xun grabbed the clothes on Wei Guoliang's shoulders and said, "Okay, don't worry."
Feng Yuqin exhaled softly and said, "Thank you."
Wei Guoliang didn't know why she wanted to say thank you.
When Chi Xia and the others went out, the little girl named Tangtang was playing with sand under the shed outside.
As soon as she saw them coming out, she wanted to run to Wei Guoliang again, but Feng Yuqin scolded her and grabbed her.
Wei Guoliang wanted to say something, but Luo Xun warned him quietly: "Behave yourself, you are here to work."
Until he left Feng Yuqin's house, Wei Guoliang still looked distraught.
"Xiao Wei, do you feel wronged?" When the car was about to get on the bridge, Luo Xun stopped the car, and he put his feet on the ground to block Wei Guoliang.
Wei Guoliang also stopped, Luo Xun pointed with his chin, and the two cars turned into the intersection and stopped.
"Don't go looking for Feng Yuqin anymore." Luo Xun said.
Wei Guoliang was anxious: "Why?"
"You know that driving there will cause trouble to her. You know that she lives in the village. You know how terrible it is for the villagers to point fingers at a widow. Since you are worried that rumors will affect her, why don't you think that your love for her and your repeated visits will not cause trouble to her?"
Luo Xun's words hit Wei Guoliang hard.
He hesitated for a long time and explained stiffly: "I don't mean anything else, I just..."
"You don't have any other intentions?" Luo Xun sneered: "Do you dare to say that you don't like her?"
Wei Guoliang was shocked. Facing Luo Xun's gaze, he lowered his head and neither admitted nor denied it.
Chi Xia gently pushed Luo Xun aside and stood over: "Xiao Wei, I'm going to ask you a few questions, and you answer me honestly."
Xiao Wei was dejected: "Officer Chi, please ask."
"How old are you? How old is Feng Yuqin? Have you ever expressed your feelings to Feng Yuqin? Has she ever responded to you? Also, when you found out that the case was related to Zhao Shengqian, who was the first murderer you thought of? When you saw Feng Yuqin, did you immediately ask her if she was the murderer?"
After Chi Xia asked the question, Wei Guoliang slowly raised his head. He was shocked and puzzled, but looked at Chi Xia blankly.
"Answer me." Chi Xia emphasized his tone.
Wei Guoliang felt an inexplicable sense of shame. At this moment, he suddenly realized that it was a bit difficult for him to speak just for Officer Chi’s first question.
But they were clearly waiting for their own answer.
He gritted his teeth and replied, "I'm 25 years old, Sister Yuqin...she...she's 35 years old. I...I confessed my love to her, but she rejected me. She wouldn't let me go to her house. It was me...I...I did...I did think she was the murderer yesterday..."
"Yes, then have you ever thought about how much disaster your love will bring to this woman in such a small place? Have you thought about the future? Even if she still has feelings for you, have you thought about how you will move forward in the future? What will she have to face? Do you have the ability to bear all the consequences?"
Wei Guoliang was speechless.
"So, you haven't thought about this problem. Maybe you fell in love with her when you were young, or maybe you sympathized with her and felt sorry for her so much that you mistakenly thought you liked her. You thought you had given a lot. You worked day and night to find evidence to prove her innocence. From a police officer's perspective, you were very dedicated. But from a woman's perspective, you didn't believe her from the beginning."
Chi Xia said, sighing: "Besides, she doesn't like you in the first place."
Wei Guoliang was puzzled . He looked up and asked, "Why?"
"Because she loves her husband deeply." Chi Xia said firmly.
Wei Guoliang stammered: "How...how do you know?"
Chi Xia found it a little funny.
Luo Xun spoke for her: "Because she has eyes, and you are blinded by your own self-righteous affection."
