Quick Transmigration: Leisure
Chapter 149 The Festive Widow in Historical Fiction 20
That's a barely acceptable explanation.
Why did Old Tao have such a bandit-like demeanor? Perhaps he picked up those habits during his undercover work.
The reason why some members of the Tao family were retaliated against was because they were targeted by that bandit.
Regardless of how much Xia Youmi believed it.
Soon, the investigation shifted to finding the bandits' trail. They weren't entirely undetected; they had some peculiar habits and generally didn't like to interact with others.
By conducting investigations in various villages, a series of suspects can be identified.
Before the case made any progress, a major event occurred that shocked the entire village.
Tao Guo'er provided a clue that it was the eldest son of the Tao family who killed his sister-in-law.
The drama of the Dragon King Temple being washed away by the flood.
The news spread incredibly fast, and this willingness to fight to the death shocked everyone.
Before Tao Guo'er requested to investigate the truth, she was detained in the detention center, fearing retaliation from the Tao family.
Amid the pointing fingers of the villagers and the shouts and curses of the older sister-in-law.
The Tao family itself has once again become the focus of attention.
This time, it has attracted even higher-level attention.
Xia Youmi only caught up with the latest developments when she was invited in for tea again.
Looking at the arrogant matchmaker Ma standing to the side, and a woman whose face was familiar but whom she had never met before, Xia Youmi smiled faintly.
"What are you so smug about!" During the wait, the matchmaker, relying on her status as a witness, couldn't help but provoke Xia Youmi.
"What dog is barking?"
"you!"
"Clown." Xia Youmi rolled her eyes, feeling distressed about her lack of vocabulary when it came to insults.
The next time she enters the online world, she will definitely make the system learn more.
System: Automatically filters out spam code.
"This must be my second brother's wife," a well-dressed woman said, though she didn't seem like a witness.
Based on the title, it can be confirmed that they are from the Tao family.
It must be Tao Ping'er, the eldest sister of the Tao family, whom we never met. After she got married, it was always the old couple from the Tao family who went to see her, and they never saw her come back.
Xia Youmi ignored the other person's advances.
She now understood why she had been summoned again.
The blacksmith was originally a bandit, and although this was discovered, he was not caught.
Under the biased testimony of Matchmaker Ma, it is estimated that the blacksmith had proposed marriage to Xia Youmi, further indicating that their relationship was unusual, or directly accusing her of being an informant.
During the formal interrogation,
The content largely matched her guess.
The blacksmith's house was deserted, but inside were many unusual weapons and traces of things that had not been destroyed.
It was basically confirmed that the blacksmith was not a law-abiding citizen, and the village chief and others from the other village were arrested and interrogated.
However, it cannot be proven that there is any connection with Hu Xiaodan.
The only breakthrough was the fabricated story by the matchmaker, Ma, that implicated Xia Youmi.
They were lovers or had a secret relationship. Xia Youmi ordered the blacksmith to kill Hu Xiaodan.
This fits together with Xia Youmi's perfect chain of evidence from last time, and the fact that the blacksmith had no motive. It was only because the other party was a bandit and stumbled upon the Hero's House that the inspiration for investigating the case came about.
The guy on the other end gave a long analysis.
This drew applause and approval from those around him and the onlookers during the interrogation.
Xia Youmi felt somewhat helpless. To be honest, there was no evidence for this matter; it was all based on inference.
However, if the blacksmith doesn't show up, it will be difficult for her to clear her name.
It's easy to stigmatize someone.
Clearing one's name of guilt is very difficult.
There is a lot of trouble at the widow's door.
In everyone's opinion,
Going to work at the agricultural school was because I was having an affair with someone.
Xiao Pu was valued because of the teacher she found.
This time, they can even pin the blame for the murder on her.
If Tao Guo'er's testimony truly shows that Tao Laoda had murderous intent, then the scapegoat initially chosen by his family was Xia Youmi.
However, her path of taking direct action was blocked.
Unexpectedly, the incident led to the bandits, brought out the blacksmith, and made her take the blame for the pot.
Xia Youmi didn't expect the other party to surrender for her sake.
Even years of peaceful life could not change the fact that they had committed arson, murder, and looting.
He would not abandon his brotherhood and turn himself in just because of a fleeting feeling of affection.
Besides, who would believe she did it?
Why would she do something that would ruin her future just to vent her anger on someone who isn't worth it?
Xia Youmi defended herself from this perspective.
They unearthed Xia Youmi's botanical encyclopedia manuscript from their home, as well as data from their work in the agricultural school laboratory, to prove that they were people with ideals.
Later on, it was Hu Xiaodan who went to Xia Youmi's house to cause trouble. It is speculated that her family instigated her to escalate the conflict with Xia Youmi in order to clear the Tao family of suspicion.
At this moment, she and Tao Guo'er stood on the same side, firmly believing that it was the Tao family who did it.
Regardless of whether the letter of protection was genuine or not, she didn't believe the Tao family was entirely innocent.
Otherwise, why would they repeatedly prevent a search?
If one is truly clean, in order to protect their secrets, they should act discreetly and cooperate with the investigation, rather than revealing their special status in full view of the public.
They will only use their trump cards if they have truly hit the nail on the head.
"Nonsense!"
Just as everyone was gradually being persuaded by Xia Youmi, a deep voice came from behind her, stopping her from spreading alarmist rumors.
"Lock her up again and wait until the railway boss is caught before trying her together."
"Okay, leader."
The group exchanged glances; none of them were fools.
Standing next to the leader was Tao Ping'er; it turned out she had married into such a powerful family.
If Widow Xia hadn't been right, why would they have rushed to stop?
Unfortunately, they had no choice but to follow orders.
Some who were persuaded by her could not openly oppose her, but instead locked her up with Tao Guo'er, who had filed a complaint against her own brother.
They were still in the same cell, with bunk beds that could accommodate twelve people. Their beds were head to toe, making it very convenient for them to whisper to each other.
"..."
Xia Youmi laughed out loud. No one's role can be ignored.
She might be able to break through by paying attention to the details and uncover the truth, but before that, she needs to have a good talk with Tao Guo'er.
"Second sister-in-law, how could this be? Didn't you already clarify?"
"I was sent here by Matchmaker Ma again, or rather, by your dear sister."
"What did they do? No, how can they be so shameless?" Tao Guo'er muttered to herself, trapped in a dilemma she couldn't escape.
"Guo'er, calm down, let's talk."
Xia Youmi first explained how she came in, how she made her deductions, who interrupted her, and Tao Ping'er's role in the process.
"I should know, my sister is the same as them." The girl's face was full of confusion.
"Can you tell me about the past?" Xia Youmi gently prompted.
"My family kept it a secret from me and my third brother."
"But, Guo'er noticed it herself, didn't she?"
"Yes, yes. I..." Tao Guo'er covered her face and wept bitterly, as if she needed immense courage to speak out about her guesses and discoveries.
Xia Youmi is very patient.
She listened attentively, adding her own insights and suggestions from time to time, which earned Tao Guo'er's approval.
She discovered that her family members had ill intentions towards her sister-in-law.
It seems that the family's secret was discovered by the sister-in-law, and in order to protect the secret, they had no choice but to get rid of her, as the family had a lot of money.
It's unclean money.
His family are not good people.
