"It's hard for Chen to think so carefully." Liu was grateful, and then said bitterly: "I am a woman, if others really want to make trouble, what can I do. I just hope that Dalang can return home as soon as possible and support the family." Chen Guanlou looked at the other party and suddenly asked: "Sister-in-law, have you ever been educated?" Liu nodded slightly, as if she was embarrassed, "When I was at my mother's house, I read two books and knew a few words." Humble! Too humble! This whole body of style and bookish air is definitely not just knowing a few words. Li Dahong is so lucky, a mere jailer can marry a girl from a scholarly family. "Excuse me, sister-in-law and Li Tou were introduced by a matchmaker?" Chen Guanlou's behavior is nothing in modern society. But now it is an ancient society of etiquette, which is really presumptuous and abrupt. But he is really too curious. The time he had been in contact with Liu was short, but it was enough for him to judge that this was a woman that Li Dahong was not worthy of. Whether in terms of knowledge, cultivation, or how to treat people, the woman was not in the same class as Li Dahong. Why would a well-educated beautiful woman marry Li Dahong, who could barely read a word? There must be something behind it.
Liu hesitated for a moment before saying, "My father entrusted me to my husband when he was dying. My husband has helped me a lot, and I have no way to repay him, so I can only promise you my body." Hmm? Chen Guanlou asked, "May I ask your father's name?" "My father's name is Hui." Liu's name is Hui? This name is unfamiliar. Chen Guanlou remembered it silently in his heart, and planned to ask someone if they knew such a person after returning. When the jailer of the Tianlao arrived, everyone worked together to quickly set up the mourning shed, and Li Dahong's body was also carried back. Xiao Jin was very thoughtful and bought ice cubes to put in the mourning hall. It was a hot day, but the mourning hall was chilly, so it could be kept for three days. White lanterns were hung at the gate, and the neighbors all knew that Li Dahong was gone, and they came to pay their respects. Chen Guanlou took the opportunity to inquire about Liu's situation, and it was similar to what she said, that she got married the year before last, and had no children. As for Liu's origins, the neighbors had speculations, but no one could get to the bottom of it. Some even speculated that Liu was a prostitute and was redeemed by Li Dahong. However, Liu had a good style and was impeccable, so such speculations were naturally self-defeating. On the way, Chen Guanlou went back to the Tianlao and asked people, but no one had heard of the name Liu Minghui, and it was not found in the case files. He originally thought that Liu was the daughter of a convicted official, but he was wrong. Maybe he was not wrong, but just checked the wrong place. Not every convicted official would be imprisoned in the Tianlao. The Jinyiwei next door also imprisoned many convicted officials. Afterwards, he found Lu Datou and asked him, "Do you know a coroner who is tight-lipped, experienced, and skilled?" "Why are you looking for a coroner?" "Jiang Yucheng fell into the water while drunk, and Li Dahong fell into the water while drunk. I've been thinking about this..." "Don't think about it. It's so creepy to hear you say that. It's so hot, and I have goose bumps all over my body." Lu Datou was very disgusted. He rubbed his arms and continued, "If you want to find a coroner, why go far away? We have one ready in Tianlao." "There is one in Tianlao?" Chen Guanlou was surprised. "Yes! Old Zhang in the torture room, with his skills and eyes, the Jinyiwei next door sometimes ask him to judge." "Old Zhang is actually a coroner?" Chen Guanlou was extremely surprised. Old Zhang is the master of the torture room and the founder of money. Whenever he personally takes action, it only takes one day for the prisoner to confess everything, even the time when he secretly watched a woman taking a bath when she was a child. There is no money that he cannot get. He is really a nightmare. Old Zhang also knows that he is not well-liked, so he has trained a few disciples and rarely comes to the prison to answer orders. He only shows up when there is a big job.
Chen Guanlou was fortunate enough to see Old Zhang interrogate a prisoner once, and that method... Since then, he has resolutely not set foot in the torture room unless it is necessary. It is really a test of people's nerves, and normal people will be driven crazy after entering. It is hard to imagine that Old Zhang has been doing this business for decades. Lu Datou asked secretly, "You want to check Li Dahong's body? You suspect he is..." "Don't you think he died suddenly? Besides, he has a beautiful wife at home, how could he bear to stay out late at night?" "What the hell? Li Dahong's wife is old and ugly, are you mistaken?" "You are talking about the old one, who died a long time ago. I am talking about the new one now. You will know when you see it. Li Dahong is really lucky. By the way, have you heard of the name Liu Minghui?" Lu Datou was also surprised that Li Dahong's new wife shook her head casually, "I haven't heard of it. Li Dahong really married a new wife, how come I haven't heard of it." "Don't mention you. Many people in Jiazi-shaped prison don't know about this. He kept it very secret. You really don't remember that his previous wife passed away." Lu Datou shook his head again, "How can I know? No one mentioned it at all. I often go to Jiazi-shaped prison to play cards, and no one told me. Li Dahong is such a greedy person, his previous wife died, but he didn't make a fuss and didn't take the opportunity to collect a gift?" Very abnormal! Let's not talk about the past for now. Lu Datou came forward and invited Lao Zhangtou out. Lu Datou is a gambler with a lot of bad habits. But he really has a wide network of contacts. Chen Guanlou didn't have the confidence to invite Lao Zhangtou out. Lu Datou came to the door with two pounds of pork and a pot of wine, and invited him out. When the three met, Lao Zhangtou said with emotion, "Death is like a light going out! I heard Datou say that you suspected that Li Dahong's death was not normal." Chen Guanlou didn't shy away from it, "Li Dahong is healthy and has a beautiful wife at home. I just want to confirm whether he really died of drunkenness and falling into the water. I also ask Uncle Zhang for a favor." Lao Zhangtou stared at him, looking carefully, as if he thought of something, but also as if he didn't think of anything at all. He said bluntly: "You are serious. I heard people say that you and Li Dahong had a conflict just two days ago. After his death, you still wanted to find out the truth. You are a very interesting person. No wonder others say you are an alien." But, have you ever thought about it, if there is really something wrong with Li Dahong's death, can you afford the consequences? " "Uncle Zhang may have misunderstood. I don't want to make anything public. That is the Li family's personnel affairs. I just want to know the truth." "However, many times others will let you go, not because you don't want to do anything. Have you ever thought that some people did not want the truth to be found out about Li Dahong's death. It is still too late to look back now and help the Li family finish the funeral. Once buried, everything is over. They are all from a small family and have no foundation. What's the point of finding out?" "If people in Tianlao cannot avoid death, they must know why they died." Chen Guanlou said. The old man Zhangtou was speechless. He wanted to criticize the young man for being too naive. But looking at the other party's clear eyes, the eyes that only wanted the truth without any desire, the eyes that had not been contaminated by the big dyeing vat in Tianlao, all the words of persuasion were swallowed up. That's all, that's all! There must always be a few people in this world who do things regardless of their future and only rely on their heart.
