Chapter 334: It wasn’t me

...

As Lu Jiao finished speaking, Xie Yunjin looked at her with a knowing expression. He gazed at her with clear and tranquil eyes and asked, “Do you know who killed Luo Xinwu?”

Lu Jiao shook her head, but then suddenly thought of something and looked up at Xie Yunjin. “You mean it was Liu Laidi who killed Luo Xinwu?”

Like a cornered rabbit that bites people, Luo Xinwu had been domestically abusing his wife. It was understandable for Liu Laidi to kill him.

“I heard from officer Zhao that when they rushed into Luo’s home, his wife was still holding the murder weapon,” Xie Yunjin said.

Lu Jiao thought of Liu Laidi and didn’t know what to say. She had been abused and took revenge, but in the end, it cost her, her own life.

As she thought more about it, Lu Jiao began to feel depressed. She decided to visit Liu Laidi since she knew her.

“Xie Yunjin, I want to see Liu Laidi. We’ve at least met once, and I think we should go see her.”

Xie Yunjin hesitated and said, “Officer Zhao said that Liu Laid is currently refusing to admit her guilt and can’t see anyone until she confesses. We can only see her then.”

Lu Jiao understood and nodded, but then she thought that given Liu Laidi’s personality, she wouldn’t have killed unless provoked. Maybe Luo Xinwu had beaten her too severely, and that was why she had killed him. Otherwise, why would she kill him when things were fine?

Despite being domestically abused, she hadn’t killed anyone until now.

So there must be some other unknown circumstances.

Suddenly, Lu Jiao turned to Xie Yunjin. “Xie Yunjin, I feel like something is not right. Think about it, Liu Laid didn’t resist despite being beaten all the time. So why did she suddenly kill someone?”

Xie Yunjin thought for a moment and said, “Maybe Luo Xinwu beat her again and went too far, and she killed him in anger.”

Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin with a profound look.

“Let’s investigate quietly. We can help her if she’s been wrongly accused. Also, if Liu Laidi didn’t kill Luo Xinwu, then someone set her up. There must be some big secret that Luo Xinwu was hiding, and this could be the breakthrough to uncover the truth behind the false front of Qinghe District.”

with that, Xie Yunjin was moved, and he looked at Lu Jiao. “Let’s go to Luo’s place and ask the neighbors quietly to find out if anything happened yesterday evening.”

“Okay.”

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao had uncle Lin take them to Luo Xinwu’s rented place.

Xie Yunjin knew where the Luo family lived. Due to poverty, they rented a small room in the poorer demographic neighborhood, which was adjacent to other people’s homes.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao did not get off the carriage to inquire about the situation from Luo Xinwu’s neighbors. Instead, they had Lin Dong dress up as Luo Xinwu’s relative and go down to investigate.

After a while, Lin Dong came out and reported, “Young master, madam, everyone inside is talking about this. They say Liu Laid killed her husband, but many people find it hard to believe because Liu Laidi was beaten by Luo Xinwu, and the neighbors knew about it. Many people even taught her how to resist,

but this woman is very cowardly and didn’t dare to fight back.”

After he paused to catch his breath, Lin Dong continued, “I asked those neighbors if Luo Xinwu had beaten Liu Laid again last night. They said that Luo Xinwu seemed very happy last night. He bought several dishes and came back to have dinner. He even drank some alcohol at night and nobody heard him beating Liu Laidi.”

In the carriage, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao exchanged a glance. Liu Laid did not get beaten last night, but she still killed Luo Xinwu. This does not fit the typical response of a killer who acts under stress.

Lu Jiao whispered to Xie Yunjin, “You find a way to contact officer Zhao and arrange for us to meet Liu Laidi. I want to ask her face-to-face if she killed Luo Xinwu. If she didn’t, we must help her. This woman is too pitiful. She has been subjected to domestic violence by men for a long time, and now she has ended up with such a fate.”

Xie Yunjin immediately nodded in agreement, “Okay, I will arrange this.”

The carriage returned to Xie’s house, and Xie Yunjin planned to ask officer Zhao to arrange this.

Lu Jiao got off the carriage with Feng Zhi and entered the Xie residence. As soon as she entered, Lu Gui came to report, “Sister, Lady Zhu and Lady Tan have come to our home. They want to see you.”

Lu Jiao thought that Lady Zhu and Lady Tan might also know about Liu Laidi’s situation.

“Okay.”

Lu Jiao took Feng Zhi to the main hall, where Zhu Baozhu and Tan Xiaoya were both shocked. When they saw Lu Jiao come in, Lady Zhu rushed to her and grabbed her hand.

“Sister Lu, have you heard about Liu Laid killing her husband? We were just about to help her, but she actually killed someone. Now she won’t be able to live.”

Lady Tan also had tears in her eyes as she said sadly, “Her life is too miserable.

She was beaten by her husband and in the end, she killed him out of anger. Now she will suffer herself.”

Lu Jiao did not tell Lady Zhu and Lady Tan that there might be other hidden reasons in Liu Laidi’s case.

It was not suitable for others to know about this kind of thing.

Therefore, she did not say anything and just agreed with them.

“Liu Laid has had a hard life. She actually married such a despicable man. We, women, must choose our partners carefully; otherwise, we will suffer for the rest of our lives.”

In this era, divorce was not popular. Although it was possible, most women would rather endure suffering than choose to divorce.

Moreover, men cared about their reputation. They preferred to beat their wives to death than divorce them. If they do remarry after they kill their wife, they won’t divorce their next wife easily either.

Lu Jiao felt fortunate that Xie Yunjin was a rational person and didn’t try to plot against her when she suggested a divorce.

“We had a chance to get to know her. Should we go visit her together?”

Zhu Baozhu suggested, but Tan Xiaoya hesitated and said, “I heard that people who have committed murder can’t be visited by just anyone.”

Zhu Baozhu turned to Lu Jiao and asked, “Sister Lu, can you find a way for us to see her?”

Lu Jiao shook her head and said, “No, she definitely doesn’t want to see anyone right now, and even if we did see her, it wouldn’t be easy.”

Zhu Baozhu and Tan Xiaoya couldn’t help but feel dejected, and no one spoke.

After Lu Jiao chatted with them for a while, Lu Jiao said goodbye and everyone went home. Everyone felt a bit sad when they thought of Liu Laidi’s plight.

At night, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao finally saw Liu Laidi. Officer Zhao was guarding outside the cell, and that night’s guard happened to be very close to officer Zhao, so they got this opportunity

Inside the cell, Liu Laid was cowering in a corner, trembling. When she heard Lu Jiao call out to her, she didn’t respond at first.

It wasn’t until Lu Jiao entered the cell that Liu Laid slowly looked up and, upon seeing that it was Lu Jiao, she couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. She reached out and grabbed Lu Jiao’s hand tightly as if a person in the dark had finally seen the only light.

“Lady Lu, it wasn’t me, I didn’t kill him, I didn’t kill him, please save me, I’m scared, I’m so scared here.
