Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

"Cheng Jianming, right? I have a question that puzzles me. Comparing your wife Wang Lu and Yu Qiuying, who is prettier?"

Cheng Jianming was silent for a moment: "Yu Qiuying."

Interrogation is a very big subject, it contains deep psychology. The comrades in the pre-trial department are most afraid of encountering those who grit their teeth and refuse to say a word. As long as you open your mouth to answer the questions, it proves that his psychological defense has been cracked, and it will be easier to interrogate.

"Are you and Yu Qiuying classmates?"

Cheng Jianming's lips trembled and the cigarette fell out of his mouth.

"Yu Qiuying is your first love, right? People say first love is the most beautiful and hardest to forget. I'm curious, when you dreamed of Yu Qiuying in the past two years, was she still as beautiful?"

"I, I don't understand you."

"The reason why you didn't choose Yu Qiuying, but chose the daughter of your deputy factory director, is that based on my current impression of you, I don't think you are someone who flatters the powerful and gets bored easily with the old and loves the new."

"I, I'm not."

"Then why did it come to this? Is it because of her work environment? Is it because she is surrounded by flowers and applause? Is it because she has too many suitors and she doesn't know how to avoid this suspicion? Or is it because you can't satisfy her desire for life after all?"

Cheng Jianming closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. He suddenly felt that living in such fear was worse than death...

"Can you give me another cigarette?"

Dabao lit a cigarette and signaled the two policemen to untie the ropes. The two policemen finally untied the ropes. Cheng Jianming stretched his arms, took the cigarette, nodded at Dabao and said thank you.

"Yu Qiuying was my middle school classmate. I liked her for three years. During those three years, I wrote her a love letter almost every day. After reading it, she would always glance at me, then fold the letter and return it to me.

I didn't know what love was at that time. I only knew that my motivation to go to school every day was to see her.

This relationship lasted for three years until I went to technical secondary school and she went to high school, and then we lost contact.

When I saw her again, it was already my second year working at the power plant. The city song and dance troupe came to the power plant for a performance. I saw her. Her singing voice and her beauty were still the same as before. So we got in touch.

I was madly pursuing her at that time. I was willing to pay anything for her.

Finally one day, I moved her, and we, the two of us were together. Even though I found out that this was not her first time, I didn’t care, because I loved her, so passionately, so deeply…”

Qin Dabao stood up and cursed inwardly, "You're writing poetry? And profound?"

"Until I found out that she had more than one boyfriend, even Peng Songnian from the dormitory next to me was also her suitor. I went crazy. I couldn't tolerate that the goddess in my mind had other men.

That day, she had asked for three days off from the troupe, saying she was going back to her hometown, but in fact she was hanging out with the troupe's deputy director.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I asked her out. My purpose of asking her out was actually to break up, because there was a girl pursuing me, who is my current wife.

I made an appointment with Yu Qiuying in the afternoon, but she didn't show up until after six in the evening. I knew she must have just finished fooling around with a guy. I knew, I always knew..."

Cheng Jianming's hands were shaking, he took a deep drag on the cigarette, and more tears flowed.

"I proposed breaking up with her, and she agreed, but with one request, which was to have sex with me again. After that, she told me that I was not allowed to leave her and that I had to treat her the same as before. If I didn't agree, she would sue me for being a hooligan.

I was so angry that I grabbed her neck, but unexpectedly, I strangled her to death. I was so scared that I rode my bicycle to the commune to find my eldest brother. My second brother happened to be there too.

He and I returned there and found that Yu Qiuying was dead. My second brother asked me to tell him what happened in detail. I told him everything I knew, and my second brother said that Peng Songnian should take the blame... "

Dabao knew everything that happened next. When he saw Wang Tusheng taking notes, he walked out of the big office and went to the kitchen. Everyone was eating at the table. Even the comrades from the Public Security Brigade were eating steamed dumplings with bowls in the yard.

Lu Jianbang was sweating profusely while eating. Upon closer inspection, he saw that he had peeled two cloves of garlic. He and Wang Guohua ate dumplings and garlic in one bite, enjoying the meal very much.

When Yuyun and Yuxue saw Dabao coming in, they slid down from their small stools, ran over with their small bowls in hand, and raised their bowls one after another, asking Dabao to eat the dumplings in their bowls.

Dabao took out a handkerchief, wiped the oil off their little faces, and pretended to take a bite of dumplings from their bowls. The two little girls immediately became happy.

Dabao sat at the table. Zuo Mingyue brought him bowls and chopsticks, and also brought out a large plate of steaming dumplings. Dabao made a face at her and started eating.

Wang Guohua took a bite of the dumpling, and the soup oil stained the corners of his mouth. He threw the garlic clove into his mouth, chewing it and said, "Throw it away?"

Dabao nodded: "Forget it."

"What's the motivation?"

"What else could it be? Yu Qiuying had several boyfriends who all paid for her. Cheng Jianming wanted to break up with her, but Yu Qiuying refused, so Cheng Jianming strangled her to death."

When Zuo Mingyue heard this, she quickly took the two children out. It would be bad for the children to hear this.

"There's no evidence to prove it, so whatever Cheng Jianming says is true."

Qin Dabao asked Yuxiu to come in and serve him a bowl of soup. He put down his chopsticks and said, "I think what Cheng Jianming said is almost right. From the beginning, I had a question. This Peng Songnian pursued Yu Qiuying, giving her gifts and flowers, and Yu Qiuying never refused. So who is she?"

Why is she keeping her relationship with Cheng Jianming secret? I think this woman is not simple.

He still had a question in his mind. Peng Songnian was a technician at the power plant, as was Cheng Jianming. Both of them were well off financially. If she was just after money, why didn't she ask for a breakup fee from Cheng Jianming? She was sure Cheng Jianming would sell everything he had to give her, but she was hanging on to him with her body. What was her purpose in doing this?

But now that the person is dead, there is no point in having any more questions, so Dabao no longer cares.

"Little bastard, I heard you shot a deer yesterday? Bring me some later."

"No problem. I'll get you a deer leg and ask Aunt Wang to make dumplings for you."

After Lu Jianbang finished eating, he picked up the soup he had prepared for Dabao and rinsed his mouth.

"After Cheng Jianming finished his explanation, your uncle Wang and I took them back. I have to report this matter to the Ministry. Solving the case is easy, but the follow-up is too troublesome. Peng Songnian's exoneration and the handling of Lao Yan and Zhou Hu will all be decided by the Ministry."

Qin Dabao had no choice but to get up and pour himself another bowl of soup, drinking it slowly: "Uncle, please keep Cheng Xiaozhi. If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be any of the things that happened later. I promised to show him leniency."

"Just let him stay. He's a minor character. He'll have to write more documents if he's sentenced."

"Uncle, go back to my grandma's house and tell Niuniu that I'll go back later to see them and bring them some delicious food."

"Okay, you're such a worrywart. You've spoiled all these sisters."

"That's right, if I don't pamper my sister, who else will I pamper?"

Wang Guohua laughed heartily: "Old Lu, I think that whoever wants to marry these girls from your family will first have to get past this little bastard. Hahaha, that's going to be difficult."

Lu Jianbang glanced at him and curled his lips: "What are you so happy about? Your eldest son has vowed to marry my Tongtong since he was four years old. You look so happy, but be careful that my eldest nephew will make a list for your son. Anyway, whether he can marry my daughter or not is not decided by your sister-in-law and me. It will all be up to my eldest nephew."

Wang Guohua's laughter died down. How could he have forgotten about this? Should he go home and persuade his son to find someone else to like? He shuddered at the thought. That little loser was even harder to deal with than that little bastard...
