Chapter 200: Open coffin and autopsy
Chapter 200: Open coffin and autopsy
"What Baili Mansion?" Xie An had never heard of it before. He reached out to snatch the deed and take a closer look.
Li Yuening pulled back her hand, folded the paper and put it into her sleeve, and said in surprise:
"What? You don't even know about the First-Rank Prime Minister Baili Jia?"
Without waiting for Xie An's response, he continued:
"Uncle Xie has been doing business for many years, so his horizons are still a bit narrow.
After all, I am not as far-sighted as Grandpa Xie.
In Yecheng, a bucket of water poured down could soak several high-ranking officials passing by.
It’s not like the Xie family, the assistant lawyer, is the only one with high-ranking officials.”
Li Yuening mentioned the first-rank prime minister, and specifically mentioned that the assistant minister was a high-ranking official.
Anyone could tell that she was being sarcastic and mocking Xie An, while at the same time irritating Xie An by saying that he was not as good as his father Xie Lin.
Xie An was still wondering how they were related to the Prime Minister Baili's family.
Then he heard Li Yuening's repeated derogatory words, and the beard at the corners of his mouth trembled with anger.
"Do you still have any manners? You are really not presentable..." Xie An hadn't finished speaking.
Xie Shi interrupted him and said, "Please respect yourself. Yue Ning is my wife now. It is not someone else's turn to teach me.
We now have reasonable suspicion that the old man is dead and we need to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy."
I originally wanted to let it go, but since you are unhappy with Yuening, just make things bigger.
Upon hearing this, Xie An turned to face Xie Shi, not caring about Xie Shi's attitude towards him, and stood in front of the coffin, "No, my father is already in the coffin, we can't disturb his peace anymore, do you want to be unfilial descendants?"
"You just said that I'm not from the Xie family, so I'm the most suitable person here." Xie Shi looked back.
The same big eyes of the second room were all confused and shocked.
Only Xie Fan had a different look, because besides Xie An, he was the only one who had seen the old man's last moments.
Could it be that grandpa’s death is related to my uncle?
Yes, grandpa died with his eyes open, and uncle is still thinking about his things. Thinking of this, Xie Fan felt choked up and asked again: "Uncle, how did grandpa die?
Why didn't he close his eyes until he died?
Is it because of you? "
When these words were spoken, even Li Yuening and Xie Shi were stunned. Die with eyes open?
Was he pissed off to death by his own son? Is the old man so miserable?
Xie An panicked for a moment, then calmly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course the old man died of illness."
"How did he die? You'll know after just one look." Li Yuening raised her chin towards Xie Shi.
Xie Shiyi picked up Xie An and moved him to the side like a little chicken.
With a gentle push from his other hand, the heavy coffin lid opened a gap, revealing Xie Lin in his shroud, his face an abnormal purple-grayish color.
Xie Fan stepped forward, lay down beside the coffin and looked inside with courage. He nodded at a glance, "That's it.
Grandpa's eyes were wide open before he died, and I was the one who closed them." He sniffed as he spoke.
Although the children of the second branch were not very close to Xie Ling, they were still grandfather and grandson, and were related by blood.
Tears instantly filled Xie Fan's eyes.
Xie Er was pushed by Lu and reluctantly went forward. He saw his father lying motionless in the small box.
He reached out and pulled Xie Lin's sleeve, "Dad, don't sleep anymore, get up and play with your son, Dad."
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly turned sad.
Mrs. Lu cried loudly, "Father-in-law, if you leave us, how will we live... woooo~"
Xie Er was anxious, and hurried to his wife, wanting to reach out and comfort her, but Lu dodged away in disgust.
She just saw Xie Er put his hand into the coffin, so she didn't want him to touch her now.
"Wow~Wife..." Xie Er felt aggrieved, or maybe he knew in his heart that his father was dead, so he burst into tears.
Li Yuening could hear the cries of Lu and Xie Er.
Xie Shi walked back to her side and whispered, "Death from suffocation, do you want to investigate?"
Xie Hang was close by and looked at Xie An in shock.
Xie An had an ugly look on his face at this moment, partly because Li Yuening and others suspected that he had killed Xie Lin, and partly because the scar was about to be revealed.
Li Yuening, "We must seek justice, but I don't know if the old man is willing to see his son hanged?
Let’s see how he explains it.”
In the Jin Dynasty, there were clear laws against patricide and matricide, and the punishment was always hanging, which meant strangling the criminal to death with a cloth strip or rope. The criminal's body and hair were given by his parents, so this was considered a relatively humane punishment in the Jin Dynasty.
Li Yuening asked in a voice that only a few people could hear: "Uncle Xie, the old man did not die of illness.
Do you want to confess your guilt or wait for the government to punish you?"
Xie An realized that he could no longer hide it, so he put his hands on his head and squatted on the ground. He suddenly realized that he had really become a widower.
Feng’s curse has come true.
He didn't know when the tears came out, they fell to the ground, and no one sympathized with him.
The crying of Lu and Xie Er stopped, and the room became quiet again, with only Xie An's soft sobbing.
After a while, he sat on the coffin bench, looked up at Li Yuening, Xie Shi, and everyone else from the second house, "I said I didn't mean it.
Do you believe it? "
If it wasn't intentional and someone died, then it's manslaughter and you can't escape it.
"What's going on?" Li Yuening said, and looked around, "Where's Aunt Feng? Shouldn't she be here at this time?"
Hearing about Feng, Xie An gritted his teeth and said, "Don't mention that bitch. It was her. Dad's death was her conspiracy. It was her..."
"Everything requires evidence. Uncle Xie, you said it was Feng, do you have any evidence?"
Xie An, "That bitch must have calculated the time well, otherwise, I wouldn't have failed to find it."
"Uncle Xie, calm down. It seems that this matter needs to be reported to the police..."
"No, I don't want to be hanged, and I can't report it to the police. I don't have any evidence, but I really didn't kill my father." Xie An began to get anxious.
If the government intervenes, he will be seriously injured if not killed, so he cannot report it to the authorities.
Li Yuening calculated the time. If the government intervened, it would take at least a few months.
King Han was still waiting for them. She had planned to do so three days later, after Xie Lin's funeral.
Then they can set off. Now, "Then tell me in detail, and we will see if we can find a breakthrough."
Xie An pursed his lips and was unwilling to speak.
Seeing that Xie An had not spoken, Li Yuening said, "If you want to be punished on behalf of Aunt Feng, you don't have to say anything."
"I said..." Xie An closed his eyes and said, "That bitch said something that I couldn't accept, trying to divert my attention.
I didn't notice my father's abnormality in time, and before I could call the doctor, he passed away.
I was afraid of being suspected, so I buried my father hastily."
In order to take revenge on Xie An, Feng set up a trap, a trap that seemed perfect.
First of all, besides Feng Shi and Xie An, there was only Xie Ling lying on the bed unable to move.
Feng first used the fact that they wanted to know the most, how she had been poisoned by the drug that would make her childless, to attract their attention.
Xie Ling could not move, Feng only needed to lead Xie An to the designated place.
This designated spot was the back of Xie An's head, which just blocked Xie Ling's breathing.
Feng said something that Xie An couldn't accept, that is, Rong Jie'er was not his daughter at all.
Xie An was immersed in the fact that Feng had given him a drug that would kill him and that he was cuckolded.
He didn't even pay attention to Xie Ling who he had accidentally covered, and by the time he realized it, it was too late.
Now one is dead and one is gone, the remaining one can only be the murderer.
In order to prevent others from discovering the secret that had long been no secret, Xie An had to take responsibility for everything that Feng had done, just for the sake of his own illusory face.
