Chapter 104 Finding Physical Evidence
Chapter 104 Finding Physical Evidence
"Gu Dewang, since you dare to do these things, don't expect others to let you go. But don't worry, I won't deal with you privately. As for the soap you took, I will only ask you to pay it back at the cost price. I will hand you over to the head of the village and let him deal with you. I don't know whether he will send you to the county government or deal with you himself."
Gu Dewang's eyes were filled with fear, and he shook his head in panic, "No, no, Aunt Zhao, you can't send me to the county government! These are just a few bars of soap, do you want to destroy me? I have a woman and children at home. If you send me to the county government, my children are still young, how will they survive?"
Gu Yansui stood in front of Zhao Qiqi, not allowing the person in front of him to get even a little bit ahead.
"Gu Dewang, everything you have to bear is caused by yourself. It has nothing to do with me. It is you who ruined yourself, not me. If I were your child, I would be ashamed of you."
"Yan Sui, Yan Tang, the two of you send him to the village head, and then take people to his house to search for the things. You must make sure he can't make excuses."
"Yes, sons, we'll go right away."
Gu Dewang seemed unconvinced and was making a fuss, trying to break free from the restraints of Gu Yansui and Gu Yantang.
But these two were the strongest, and their hands were like iron clamps, tightly binding him and making it impossible for him to break free.
"Wait! Mr. Zhao, I only took a bar of soap. What your son said is clearly an attempt to frame me! You are blackmailing me!"
Zhao Qiqi didn't understand why Gu Dewang was still so angry. He had already admitted that he took the soap, but he still wanted to cause such trouble.
She signaled Gu Yansui and Gu Yantang to stop and look at him, wanting to hear more of his excuses.
"I only took one bar, and I've already used it up. I definitely don't have any soap at home. If you don't believe me, come with me to my house and take a look! If I did it, I'll admit it, but if I didn't take it, I'll definitely not admit it. No matter if you really lost it or pretended to lose it to blackmail me, I won't let you do anything to me!"
Gu De looked at him anxiously and shouted angrily, the blue veins on his neck bulging with the amplitude of his words.
"In that case, then I will grant your wish."
Zhao Qiqi originally didn't want to get involved anymore, so he handed the matter over to Gu Yansui and Gu Yantang, and let the village head decide how the matter should be handled.
But Gu Dewang was just being stubborn and she wanted to see what other tricks he could play.
He was exposed yesterday, so he must have been nervous and might have hidden the soap.
Now that he denies it, it may be difficult to find physical evidence.
Standing at the door of Gu Dewang's house, Zhao Qiqi was speechless. He even said that he was going to blackmail him. Look at the dilapidated fence gate and the empty room, it was so poor.
"Look for it. If I find it today, I will take your surname!" Perhaps because he was back home, in his own place, Gu Dewang gradually started to become arrogant.
Zhao Qiqi looked at him with a look of triumph and sneered, "Gu Dewang, you have admitted to stealing in public. What difference does it make if it's one, two, or ten bars? This bar of soap can be sold for five hundred coins. Five hundred coins is enough to put you in jail."
Zhao Qiqi was trying to scare him, but she hated people who made mistakes and yet were complacent and refused to repent.
He was a little stunned. It was so expensive. No, it couldn't be. It was just laundry stuff. How could it be so expensive?
But Gu Dewang forgot that his family couldn't even afford soap nuts, and soap was even more expensive.
She smiled and continued, "Even if there is no physical evidence, so what? Everyone will think that you stole it. If the case goes to court, the county magistrate can't find other suspects and the remaining soaps. Naturally, all the blame will still be yours."
Zhao Qiqi turned to look at Gu Yansui: "Okay, Yansui, don't waste time with him here, take him directly to the head of the village, and then send him to the county government office."
"No! No, you are not qualified, you are not qualified."
Gu Dewang's head was shaking like a rattle. He absolutely could not go to jail.
Several children ran over and surrounded Gu Dewang crying. Zhao Qiqi looked towards the inner room of Gu Dewang's house. She was a strong woman. She had just watched when she saw that there was room for improvement. But now that she saw that Gu Dewang could no longer hold her back, she quickly let the children out to cry.
This wasn't crying for Gu Dewang to hear, this was clearly crying for her to hear.
Zhao Qiqi suddenly felt upset. These children were crying too much.
"That's enough! Gu Yansui and Gu Yantang, send him directly to the head of the village!"
The children were so frightened that they stopped crying.
"Since you can't find the things, shouldn't you also check Gu Laixi's house? We are all suspects. Why don't you check him and put all the blame on me? This is unfair."
Gu Dewang knew he couldn't escape, so he kept biting like a mad dog. Of course, perhaps he felt that if he found the remaining soap in Gu Laixi's house, then his crime of taking only one bar of soap would naturally seem insignificant.
Zhao Qiqi lowered his head and curled the corners of his mouth. He finally knew where the physical evidence was.
"Gu Dewang, do you think you are in big trouble and want to drag others into it?"
Gu Dewang looked at her fiercely: "Why are you so sure that he didn't steal it, and it was all stolen by me?"
"On the day when the four bars of soap were lost, we had already tracked Gu Laixi. He had no chance to do it at all. Only you have the chance to do it."
She had previously suspected that the two were a gang, but after looking at Gu Dewang's expression, she knew that was impossible.
Gu Yansui found the lost soap in a very obvious place and moved it in front of Gu Dewang.
"Gu Dewang, not only did you steal something, but you also wanted to put the blame on someone else, right?"
Zhao Qiqi was getting closer and closer, and every note he made was unbearable and gave him a splitting headache.
He sat on the ground in pain, grabbing his head and pounding it against the ground again and again.
"Go, everyone, go over there and beg Aunt Zhao to let your father go. Don't let her take your father away."
Gu Dewang's wife urged the children, but the children didn't dare to come forward when they saw this scene. One of them cried, which caused the other two to cry as well, but they still didn't dare to go in front of Zhao Qiqi.
The woman picked up a stick and hit the children hard: "Why are you crying? If you have the guts, go cry in front of Aunt Zhao. What's the point of crying to me here? You will lose your father, do you know that? If your father is in jail, you will starve to death. It's better for me to beat you all to death now and put an end to it all."
After saying that, she started crying too, fell to the ground, and wiped her tears and snot all over her body. The whole thing was a loud sobbing sound, very messy.
"Oh my God, why am I so unlucky to have to deal with something like this? Why did this happen to me? Why am I so miserable?"
If you didn't know what was going on, you would think that Zhao Qiqi's family had bullied her.
