80s Marriage Swap: My Should-Be-Dead Husband Lives On-Chapter 162: Lu Ting Is Dead (Bonus - )
On hearing Jiang Jingming’s words, the man’s gaze seemed evasive, and there was a flash of panic on his face.
"I, I don’t know what you’re talking about," Zhang Daqiang said gruffly.
Lin Wen directly kicked Zhang Daqiang: "You don’t know? Be honest, don’t force us to use force."
Although Zhang Daqiang was big and brawny and not afraid of pain, Lin Wen’s kick was certainly not light.
Zhang Daqiang couldn’t help but furrow his brows from the kick.
"I really don’t know what you’re talking about, don’t think you can arrest and hit people just because you’re police."
"Then tell me, what are you doing here late at night?" Lin Wen asked.
Zhang Daqiang rolled his eyes and said, "I came here for a walk."
"A walk? You’re taking a walk in this desolate place late at night?"
Zhang Daqiang: "I just like places without people."
Lin Wen laughed: "You really won’t give up until you reach the Yellow River, huh?"
Jiang Jingming: "You two take him back, the rest follow me."
"Yes, Vice Jiang."
Zhang Daqiang was bound by two people and taken back to the police station, and the rest followed Jiang Jingming to look for others.
Normally, such matters wouldn’t require Jiang Jingming to personally step in, given his current position allows him to delegate.
But he still preferred to do things himself.
Jiang Jingming led the team forward, walking less than fifty meters, they found a place that looked different, evidently trampled on.
"Over there."
As Jiang Jingming’s voice fell, several people walked in that direction,
Before long, they discovered a place that seemed to have been dug.
But Zhang Daqiang didn’t have any tools on him, and there were no tools here,
What was used for digging?
"Go up and take a look," Jiang Jingming said.
"Check nearby for any tools left around."
It should have been thrown away by Zhang Daqiang. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Otherwise, carrying a tool would have been too conspicuous.
"Yes, Vice Jiang."
After a while, someone returned.
"Vice Jiang, we found this shovel nearby."
Jiang Jingming took the shovel and checked it, the soil on it was still a bit wet, obviously used not long ago.
"Dig this place up."
Jiang Jingming handed over the shovel.
"Yes, Vice Jiang."
Once they dug up the previously dug area, they found a corpse stuffed in a burlap sack inside.
A stench of decay had already begun to emanate.
"Vice Jiang."
They looked at Jiang Jingming.
Jiang Jingming frowned: "Take it back."
"Yes."
After they took the corpse back and placed it in front of Zhang Daqiang, he stopped denying.
"What’s your relationship with her?" Lin Wen looked at Zhang Daqiang.
Zhang Daqiang said confidently: "She’s my wife, so what?"
Lin Wen: "Did you kill her?"
A hint of guilt flashed in Zhang Daqiang’s eyes but quickly disappeared: "Officer, she’s my wife, how could I kill my own wife."
"Then how did she die?"
Zhang Daqiang’s tone was flat and indifferent: "She got sick."
"What sickness?"
"A sickness that kills," Zhang Daqiang said.
"Then why didn’t you take her for treatment?" Lin Wen continued asking.
Zhang Daqiang: "We ran out of money."
Lin Wen: "Then why did you wait so long to deal with her death? Why did you handle it secretly?"
Zhang Daqiang: "Can’t I just not bear to part with her? She’s my damn wife, it’s normal I can’t part with her. Besides, when did I handle anything secretly? My neighbors saw when I moved out."
It’s just that no one realized it was a corpse.
"Can’t part with her? Then why did we find so many traces of abuse on her body? Is this your ’can’t part with’?"
Zhang Daqiang retorted in a fearless tone: "Hey, don’t talk nonsense, I spent so much money to marry a wife, how could I abuse her."
"Whether it is or not, once the forensic results are out it will be clear, but I want to remind you, all your current denials will increase your sentence."
Zhang Daqiang said nothing.
He didn’t know if Lin Wen was trying to scare him or if he was serious.
Lin Wen wasn’t in a hurry, he continued to ask: "What’s your wife’s name?"
Zhang Daqiang remained silent and from that moment onwards, no matter what Lin Wen asked, Zhang Daqiang wouldn’t speak.
Lin Wen’s temper flared.
Fortunately, they soon found out.
The deceased was named Lu Ting, she had grandparents and an elder brother named Lu Hao.
When Lin Wen and Jiang Jingming heard the name Lu Hao, a trace of emotion flashed in their eyes.
"Take people to the house, notify the family."
"Yes, Vice Jiang."
The police quickly arrived at Lu Hao’s house.
"Who is it, so late at night?"
Liu Fenglan opened the door irritatedly and was startled upon seeing the police at the door.
"What, what do you want?"
The police said, "We’re police, what is Lu Ting’s relation to you?"
Liu Fenglan heard the name Lu Ting and felt somewhat unfamiliar.
"My granddaughter, what’s going on? Did she commit a crime?" Liu Fenglan asked nervously.
After saying that, she added: "Officer, if she broke the law, it has nothing to do with us. She’s married and not part of our family."
The police looked at Liu Fenglan, their expressions indescribable.
"No," the police replied.
"Who is it, grandma?"
Lu Hao came out from inside, followed by Lu Jianguo.
Upon seeing the police, Lu Hao instinctively felt a bit scared.
"We are here to inform you that Lu Ting is in trouble, you need to go to the police station to identify the body."
At these words, the three were stunned.
Lu Jianguo’s body shook: "You, what did you say?"
Fear flashed in Liu Fenglan and Lu Hao’s eyes.
"Officer, you must be mistaken. How could Lu Ting be dead, it must be a mistake," Liu Fenglan said urgently.
She had found Lu Ting a good family, how could she be dead.
"Officer, you must be mistaken," Lu Hao also asked.
After all, he was also involved in this matter.
"Whether it is or not, you can see for yourselves, we have notified you, just go to the police station."
The police left after speaking.
Liu Fenglan stood there dumbfounded, unable to believe what she heard.
Her first reaction wasn’t grief nor sadness, but fear.
"Why are you still standing there, hurry up,"
Lu Jianguo urged.
This was the first time Lu Jianguo spoke with such urgency.
Lu Hao and Liu Fenglan didn’t move, lost in their thoughts.
"Hao, hurry up."
Lu Jianguo urged again.
Only then did Lu Hao go with Lu Jianguo, while Liu Fenglan stayed at home.
