After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 339: Front Edge (8)

But Ling Chuan never expected that before Liu Baolian could cause trouble for Liu Ze, a murder occurred in Liujia Village.

Wang Mazi is dead!

I heard that the body was found by a shepherd boy who was grazing cattle in a remote valley. When it was found, his body was infested with maggots and smelled bad.

On weekdays, villagers would avoid Wang Mazi if they could, especially the young boys and girls, because no one wanted to be entangled with such a scoundrel.

Now that they heard of his death, many of those who had been molested by him were secretly applauding, especially the family of his daughter-in-law who had been beaten to death by him, they were almost setting off firecrackers to celebrate.

Wang Mazi had some family background and many bad friends. As soon as the news of his death spread, several officials and coroners from the county immediately came and asked Liu Zheng to lead the way.

Wang Mazi's death was so sudden that Ling Chuan couldn't help but be shocked.

Anyone who had been involved with the Li mother and daughter in this life is gone just like that.

No wonder the young man didn't mention this person when he took revenge on Old Lady Liu's family and sent them to jail.

No, my brother didn't mention it when he got married...

The coroner performed an autopsy and analyzed the marks on the victim's neck and hands. He speculated that the victim was strangled by a rope around the neck and had struggled hard.

As for the fatal wound on the back of his head, it was probably because he resisted fiercely and the murderer was afraid that he would break free, so he hit his head with a heavy object, making him unable to resist.

Therefore, Wang Mazi did not die accidentally, but was murdered.

As to who was the murderer of Wang Mazi and why he killed him, it is unknown.

The coroner could only infer that there were at least two murderers based on the murderer's method of committing the crime, because when the murderer strangled Wang Mazi's neck, it was impossible for him to pick up a heavy object and hit him on the head.

Everyone in Liujia Village was shocked by this and they were whispering about who Wang Mazi had offended that led to the killing.

Unfortunately, the police and the coroner checked the scene and his home, but found no clues, which only showed that Wang Mazi was killed somewhere else.

Furthermore, the murderer must have known Wang Mazi, otherwise he would not have been able to get close to him and strangle him with a rope when he let his guard down.

In addition to his drinking buddies, the officers also asked Liu Zheng about anyone who had had any disputes or grudges with Wang Mazi recently.

Even if Liu Zheng didn't tell the officers what happened in Liujia Village, they would be able to find out through other channels. Therefore, he cooperated very well and answered whatever the officers asked without hiding anything.

When the officer heard about Liu Ze's story, he just glanced at Liu Zheng and didn't say much. Instead, when he heard that Wang Mazi had gone to Old Lady Liu's house many times to ask for money and threatened them with Liu Baokun, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Liu Zheng was shocked. They wouldn't suspect that it was done by Old Lady Liu and the others, right?

But this is murder. Liu Dazhi is the only male in the family. The coroner also said that there were at least two murderers. Unless Liu Baokun came back, it must be a woman... Can a woman be so cruel? Impossible?

Besides, although their family has some flaws in character and Liu Dazhi has changed a lot over the years, he doesn't look like someone who would dare to kill someone.

What Liu Zheng thinks is not important; what matters is what the officials think.

Finally, the officers interrogated them and Old Lady Liu's family separately. Of course, the focus was on Old Lady Liu.

Old Mrs. Liu cried and shouted that they were innocent. They were already unlucky enough to have Wang Mazi ask them for money repeatedly, and now even after that scoundrel died, they were still suspected. She said that God was blind.

Li also covered her face and cried, saying that Liu Dazhi was the only man in her family, and they were old and young, so who would have the courage to go find Wang Mazi?

Liu Baolian also looked frightened and shrank back.

This incident caused a stir for several days, making people panic. They were afraid that they would be the next person to be suspected. Fortunately, the officials left because they found no evidence.

But because of the murder, those gossipers in the village have become more restrained, for fear of accidentally offending others.

Although Old Lady Liu and her family were cleared of suspicion, Ling Chuan always felt that there was something fishy about the matter. After all, when people are pushed into a corner, they can do anything.

It’s not like Li hasn’t had murderous intentions in this life, and Lin Wenbin and Old Lady Liu are people who dare to kill even their closest blood relatives, let alone someone who has threatened them.

Wang Mazi's death did not make people feel sad. Although the murder was very bad for Liujia Village, it was different because the person who died was a scoundrel who was disliked by everyone and chased away by dogs.

Without Wang Mazi, Liu Ze would not be intercepted by him like the little brother, Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

After about a month, this incident was gradually forgotten, and the people of Liujia Village continued to live their ordinary lives, working from sunrise to sunset.

One day, Liu Zheng's wife and her sister-in-law Huang suddenly called Liu Ze, pulled him to sit down, and said to him earnestly: "Brother Ze, you are nineteen this year, right? After the New Year, if you don't have a husband, the government will arrange an official marriage for you. Your aunt Huang and I thought about it and felt that it would be better for us to find a marriage for you ourselves."

Lingchuan: "..."

Seeing that Liu Ze was about to refuse, Huang quickly said, "Yes, yes, the people the government matches are either too old or have health problems. You will only suffer if you marry them. We can't bear to let you go."

Despite this, Liu Ze still waved his hands, shook his head and said in a weak voice: "I, I don't want to get married. I want to be with you all my life."

Seeing what he was thinking, Liu Zheng's wife also smiled and shook her head.

"Don't be so anxious, Ze. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. You are not young anymore. If you delay any longer, you will become an old man, and it will be even harder to find a husband in the future. Also, even if you get married, you can always come back to see us. You don't have to be by our side all the time. We are not a wealthy family that needs maids and servants to serve us. We are still strong enough."

Huang joked that they were now much more efficient than some young people at work, and then invited Liu Yun to come out.

"If I can find a good family for you, your mother in heaven will be very happy."

Lingchuan didn’t know whether Liu Yun was happy or not, but he was very unhappy.

Liu Ze bit his lip, his eyes hesitated, and did not agree immediately.

He owed them a lot, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were his adopted parents. If he married, how could he come back often to help? If he met someone who was easy to talk to and lived nearby, he might come back occasionally, but this situation was rare.

Liu Ze felt that things were pretty good now. He didn't eat much, and he worked hard. Occasionally, he would go to the river with Yingying and Yuge'er to catch fish and snails, and go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, collect firewood, or cut grass for pigs...

Liu Ze was silent for a long time before he lowered his head and replied sullenly, "I'll listen to you." Liu Zheng's wife and Huang looked at each other and smiled with heartache and helplessness.

Then he comforted the soft-hearted Liu Ze, saying that this was just to talk things over with him first, not to ask him to get married immediately.

"I know." Liu Ze said, lowering his head shyly, "I know you are doing this for my own good."

Liu Zheng's wife and Huang Shi smiled and said, "I'm glad to know."

So, it was decided to find a husband for Liu Ze.
