Crowned with Pearls

Chapter 653: 52. Reversal

Views:

Zhang Tuiguan had some resentment towards the Xu family, and Xu Yuanbo's kick just now made him even more angry. He was a man who was determined to get things done. Not to mention that there was this layer now, even if it was just for the sake of investigating the case, he would never let go of this clue in front of him.

Now the facts are before our eyes. Xuanyuan's peach wood sword appeared next to the corpse. Grandma Xu bought the jewelry of the corpse's owner and disappeared at the same time as the corpse's owner.

If you say these people are irrelevant, he won't believe it even if you beat him to death.

Raising his eyebrows, Zhang Tuiguan shouted coldly: "Grandma Xu, I have been ordered to ask you to go back to the county government to investigate a murder case. Please come with me!"

Manager Xu was extremely annoyed. The young prosecutor in front of him was like a dog-skin plaster that could not be shaken off. He had no idea how to assess the situation or read people's expressions.

Xu Yuanbo became even more furious. This reckless idiot just shouted it out in front of so many people, making the Xu family lose all face. People who didn't know would think that the Xu family's grandmother had killed someone.

How could an official’s wife meet an official

This is really too much!

He turned around and stared at Zhang Tuiguan fiercely and said coldly: "You are looking for death!"

Zhang Tuiguan was not afraid at all. He pushed aside the yamen runners around him and stepped forward, desperate to stop Qi: "Madam Xu, this is a matter of life and death. You should come with us! If it is really not your fault, our yamen will not wrongly accuse you. What do you have to be afraid of?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but stare at Grandma Xu suspiciously: "What's more..."

Qi was in a panic. She tried to speak with trembling lips, but couldn't utter a word. Just when she didn't know what to do, she suddenly heard Qi Yunxi's scolding: "What are you going to do!?"

Like a drowning person who finally grabbed a life-saving straw, Qi saw the backbone and immediately called out "Aunt" in grievance, then ran towards Qi Yunxi in embarrassment.

Over the years, she has actually transformed from a hunted fugitive into a noble lady, but when she encounters danger, she runs just like she did back then.

Qi Yunxi's eyes darkened, and he grabbed Qi's hand and scolded her in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "What a good-for-nothing! What are you afraid of? Stay calm!"

Mr. Bai smiled at Qi to comfort her: "Yes, aunt, calm down. What difficulties have you not encountered? It's okay."

Qi felt a little embarrassed by what she said, but she held Qi Yunxi's hand even tighter.

Qi Yunxi was furious. He looked at Zhang Tuiguan and asked loudly, "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Tuiguan was not afraid either. He loudly repeated his purpose, and then said calmly, "Because the dead person may be a descendant of the Zhennan Palace, Grandma Xu should be from the same clan as her. Since they are from the same clan and she is interested in purchasing the old collection of the Zhennan Palace, it means that they may know each other. Therefore, I would like to ask Grandma to go back and identify the body to see if she can identify the identity of the body through the jewelry next to the body. But I don't know why Grandma reacted so strongly..."

Qi Yunxi remained calm, but a huge wave of emotions was rising in his heart.

How could that be?!

The incident had been clearly hidden so well, the bodies had been buried under a big tree, and so many years had passed, and no one had ever mentioned it again. How come people suddenly came out and said that a body had been found

And they could even find out the identity of the corpse based on the jewelry

Even though she was experienced and shrewd, she was a little flustered for a moment. She pursed her lips and sneered coldly: "This is ridiculous! Just because my niece bought some jewelry, you concluded that she was involved with the corpse and even came to my house to ask her to identify it? How can this be justified?! Is this how you do things in Daxing County? Do you have an official letter or any evidence to allow you to arrest someone?! Are you trying to rebel?!"

Tuiguan Zhang also knew that he had no basis for his argument. After all, the other party was of noble status, and strictly speaking, there was no actual evidence to prove that this matter was related to Grandma Xu.

But now Tui Guan Zhang is more and more certain that something is fishy.

If it really didn't matter, then why did Grandma Xu react so strongly

What's more, Aunt Shen recognized Qi.

What's even more bizarre is that Aunt Shen said that Qi's surname was Li.

Isn't this even weirder

He saluted without saying a word and said, "I am just following the routine to handle the case. I want to ask for your cooperation. Please follow me. Besides, if the body is really someone from the Qi family, wouldn't it be a good thing to open their eyes for them?"

Qi Yunxi was extremely annoyed and immediately ordered them to leave with a sullen face.

Aunt Shen was still staring at Qi who was hiding next to Qi Yunxi, muttering to herself, "Miss Li, that's Miss Li!"

There was a lot of noise around, and Qi couldn't actually hear what Aunt Shen was saying. However, her attention was completely focused on her. As soon as she opened her mouth, she could easily catch her lip shape.

Her face turned even paler. She had no idea how Qi Yunxi had sent away Zhang Tuiguan, how he had dragged her into the Tong family, and even less how she had sat down.

When she woke up, she covered her face and screamed.

Qi Yunxi was staring at her angrily: "Look at how useless you are! You were actually scared like this! What are you afraid of!?"

So many years have passed since the incident, and the incident was kept secret, so what if the jewellery was there

The person has become a skeleton. Is it possible for him to come back to life and identify himself

As long as you insist that there is no truth in the case, even the king of heaven cannot make a judgment on the case.

But Qi couldn't hold on any longer, it was really useless!

Qi Yunxi rubbed his eyebrows coldly, feeling as if his scalp was being pulled by something, and scolded him in a heavier tone: "Why can't you learn to be smarter?!"

He is really a hopeless person.

Qi let out a sob from her throat, covering her face, tears still leaking out from between her fingers: "I dare not... Aunt Shen recognized me. When I fled to Shenjia Village, Aunt Shen took me in. Later, when I was with Qi Ru, she came to the yard many times to wash clothes and bring fresh vegetables. She must have recognized me..."

Qi Yunxi was furious when he heard this and slapped his niece on the face: "Then why didn't you tell me for so many years?!"

She never told me such an important thing!

An obvious slap mark immediately appeared on Qi's face. She covered her face and dared not speak. After a long time, she cried softly: "I... I don't know, I thought nothing would happen..."
