"But if everything you said is true, then who is 'Lu Weike' who appeared in that courtyard?"

Gu Tianqi frowned. Although what Wen Fangju said was reasonable and well-founded, the facts before him could not be false!

They also took Lu Weike's photo and asked the neighbors around the courtyard to identify him, and almost everyone agreed that the person entering and leaving the courtyard was Lu Weike!

“This, I really don’t know.

You said before that a lot of gold, silver and money were found in that small courtyard, but this itself doesn't make sense!

I am not speaking for our old Lu. If that money was really embezzled by our old Lu, then look at our family situation.

My parents-in-law have been ill for many years, and there are many children in the family. My husband and I have been very frugal in everything we do over the years.

Well, even if Old Lu has someone outside and is unwilling to give these things to me and the children, what about his parents and himself?

You can also go to the factory and ask our neighbors. My son Lu has been wearing the same pair of pants for many years, with many patches on them. He was even teased by the factory director for this.

It’s hard for us to eat meat once a month.

He, he just wants to live like this, why would he want so much money? "

Wen Fangju raised her hand to smooth the strands of hair at her temples, then looked up at Gu Tianqi who was whispering about their real lives. Indeed, no matter how she listened, Lu Weike seemed to be wronged.

"Comrade Wen, please think about it again. With your husband's regular life, is there anything that you think is abnormal?

Or maybe there is someone who makes you feel something is wrong."

Xie Beichen thought about it carefully before speaking again, looking at Wen Fangju and asking very seriously.

“Abnormal?

This, it seems, does not happen.

My husband's interpersonal relationships are not complicated. Because there are two sick elderly people in the family, people in the factory are considerate and will not let my husband Lu work overtime unless it is absolutely necessary.

As for social engagements, there is no way he can turn them down during the holidays, but few people would invite him out during normal times.

Even though he was promoted later, the factory gave him a lot of help because of our family's difficulties. At least they basically never arranged for him to go on business trips.

As for people...

By the way, Comrade Xie, now that you mentioned this, I actually remembered something, but I don’t know if it has anything to do with this matter.”

Wen Fangju frowned and carefully thought about the ideas provided by Xie Beichen. This thought really made her figure out an event in the past.

"What is it? Tell me!"

When Xie Beichen heard Wen Fangju's words, he immediately became excited. He and Gu Tianqi looked at her expectantly and asked almost in unison.

“It’s not a big deal, it’s just a family matter.

It's like this, my husband has a good temper, everyone knows it. Based on my understanding of him growing up together, he rarely gets angry with people or says harsh words, except for that one time.

Probably, it was more than two years ago!

A relative came to my father-in-law’s hometown.

That man is my husband's cousin and the son of his second uncle.

When he came to us, he looked very miserable and said that he had only eaten two dry steamed buns during the few days on the train. My husband took him home and arranged some food for him, and then he told us the story.

He said that there were many children in his family, and the few work points he earned were not enough to support the whole family. Anyway, he would be hungry and have no job if he stayed in the village, so he thought of coming to the city to seek help from his uncle and see if he could find a job to fill his stomach.

My father-in-law also helped to speak up for him at that time, and since the factory was also recruiting workers at that time, my husband found a way to find him a job.

Although I am just a temporary worker, if I work hard, I will have the opportunity to become a regular employee.

Moreover, the factory provided food and accommodation, which just solved his urgent needs.

As a result, this cousin got into trouble just two days after he started working. He did not follow the regulations and almost caused a safety accident.

Because of this, Old Lu got very angry and scolded his cousin, telling him to correct his attitude and not be perfunctory like he did this time.

It turned out that the cousin also had a bad temper and he confronted Lao Lu at that time.

The two of them had a big fight at home, and in the end the cousin even quit his job and left.

Because of this, my father-in-law resented Lao Lu very much and didn't treat him well for a long time.

During that period, the atmosphere at home was very tense. Lao Lu was also worried about his younger brother, so he went out with me to look for him several times but couldn't find him.

There was no other way, so I sent a telegram back to my hometown to ask. My family replied that although my cousin did not come home, he had found a job somewhere else and we didn't need to worry.

Because the factory was busy at that time, Mr. Lu didn't ask any more questions after he found out, and the matter was left unresolved.

I don’t know if this is something different.”

Although Wen Fangju was not quite sure, she still told Xie Beichen and the others the story in bits and pieces.

She herself might not have noticed anything wrong, but Xie Beichen, who always had a keen sense of smell, immediately discovered that something was wrong. He raised his head, looked at Wen Fangju very seriously, and asked tentatively: "Does your husband look similar to his cousin?"

"picture!"

As expected, just as Xie Beichen guessed, as soon as he asked this question, Wen Fangju responded strongly and affirmatively: "Comrade Xie, you know what, they really look alike.

When he was working in the factory, his coworkers even joked about it!

If you didn't know, you would really think he and Lao Lu were twins! Especially at that time, he didn't have enough clothes, so Lao Lu gave him a set of clothes. When he went out wearing them, several co-workers mistook them for twins.

For a long time, this matter was told as a joke among our neighbors...Xie, Xie Comrade, you, you mean, the person who pretended to be Lao Lu in the yard, is, is..."

Even if Wen Fangju was slow to react, she recovered now. She looked up at Xie Beichen and asked in disbelief, "Is it Lao Lu's cousin?"

"I'm not sure about this specifically right now, but it's an idea."

Xie Beichen opened the notebook in his hand, looked at Wen Fangju and asked very seriously: "Comrade Wen Fangju, I hope you can answer each question we ask truthfully.

After all, this is related to your husband's innocence. If you really want to clear your husband, Comrade Lu Weike, of suspicion and give him the hero treatment he deserves, then you must fully cooperate with us now and not hide anything."
