Chapter 108: Chapter 108: She Did It On Purpose To Harm Chapter 108: Chapter 108: She Did It On Purpose To Harm “Constable Wei, I really didn’t know. The body was already buried. How could I have soone watching over that grave every day? I truly don’t know how it disappeared,”
“Hmph.”
Constable Wei coldly snorted.
Of course, he knew that Old Man Gong might really be clueless. But what did it matter?
What he needed to do now was to corner Old Man Gong, force him to reveal everything he’d previously left unsaid.
“What, didn’t Old Master Gong insist on not destroying your son’s corpse at first, just so you could use it later, using that strange disease to harm the people you’ve conflicted with?”
He asked.
“No, that’s not true. I wouldn’t dare to do such a thing, I swear,” Old Master Gong shook his head vehently, denying this forcefully.
But he knew in his heart that no amount of denial could change anything. Even if he didn’t commit this act, Constable Wei would still dump all the bla on him to save himself and the County Magistrate.
“If not you, then who? Old man, I couldn’t imagine. You are willing to sacrifice your own son, poisoning him to death wasn’t enough, you even dug up his grave. What kind of father are you!”
Constable Wei gave another cold snort, and said.
“I…”
Old Master Gong opened his mouth, but didn’t know what else to say. It felt as if he could not explain everything no matter how many mouths he had. Suddenly, he thought of soone.
“I knew it! It must be that wretched woman!”
He rembered, initially he was afraid that the strange disease would bring even greater harm to his house, he planned to cremate his son’s body. However, that woman kept whispering in his ear:
There’s a precedent in the Gong Family that anyone who has passed should never be cremated. If this thod of burial is violated, it may bring bad luck to your family’s Fengshui, Gong Family may plumt.
He was worried that her words might co true and didn’t want his family’s foundation to be ruined, so he thought of going to Constable Wei to cause a commotion.
“Constable Wei, it was her! She did it on purpose, she must have dug up the body.”
He looked up at Constable Wei, finally seeing a glimr of hope. He could absolve himself of all the bla.
“Who is it?”
Constable Wei asked.
“It’s my Third Madam, Ms.Yu of Gong Family, Yu Mian’er,” Old Master Gong answered.
“Furthermore, Ms.Yu’s son, who knows a little bit of dicine, has been out since the strange disease struck our house. He claid to be in search of so miracle doctor, but he hasn’t returned yet.”
He wondered, did Gong Beiteng not leave to find a doctor at all, but just hid away and dug up his brother’s corpse?
But what was the use of him digging up the corpse? He couldn’t figure it out.
But now was not the ti to think about this. He needed to shift all the bla to others in order to save himself. Therefore, Ms.Yu was the odeal scapegoat.
She had always been the one whispering the sweet nothings in his ear after all.
“Bring Ms.Yu of Gong Family here imdiately,” Constable Wei ordered the bailiffs beside him.
“Yes, Mr. Wei.”
The two bailiffs took their leave, going out to fetch Ms.Yu.
“Constable Wei, how is your investigation going?” Lin Caisang and Ya Molian walked in leisurely, looking at Old Master Gong kneeling on the floor with a sneer on their faces.
“Oh, what happened to Old Master Gong? Why are you sitting on the ground? It’s rather chilly.”
“Uh.”
A flush crept onto Old Master Gong’s face, and he quickly used the armrest to stand up and return to his seat.
