Chapter 220

"That's probably what happened..."

It was freezing cold, and Mei You was sitting calmly in the cell in Yueliao County, showing no fear or worry at all.

Behind her, on the slate bed covered with hay, was the quilt that Mayberry had just brought in.

Mei Bei squatted outside the cell door and was completely speechless when Mei You said this.

Her sister is really fishing just like Mei Bei thought.

I had even thought about finding someone to expose Aunt Ba's despicable behavior this morning, but who knew that the other person would die first.

By coincidence, the fish's head was stained with blood from the opponent's head wound, and there were also marks of blows on the fish's head.

No, Baying and the others reported the case to Mei You and sent it in.

Meiyou suddenly opened the shroud in the court just now, and seemed to want to inspect it on the spot, which almost frightened everyone present to death.

Magistrate Yang even thought that Mei You was going to destroy the body and stopped him immediately, and immediately detained him for further trial at a later date.

This whole situation has caused such a fuss that Meiberry and the others have a hard time spending money to manage it.

Mei Bei also told her guess to Mei You, but Mei Bei was still not sure whether the person who killed Aunt Ba had a grudge against Aunt Ba, so she killed him and made Mei You the scapegoat.

Or maybe he actually had a grudge against them and deliberately killed Aunt Ba to make them miserable.

"We have only been here for a short time. It is unlikely that we can develop such a grudge..."

Mei You shook his head, they were just a weirdo these days since they got here.

"County Magistrate Yang, Shopkeeper Ma and the others have already gone to negotiate. As for the Naba family..."

When Mei Berry talked about those people, she always felt that something was wrong with them.

"Ba Ying has a problem." Mei You pointed out Mei Bei's hesitation, "He knows that his wife steals fish."

"Um."

"Our two families are so close. How long does it take for Aunt Ba to steal a fish? Isn't he worried if he doesn't come home for a long time?

When I was in the hall, I heard him say that he found out when he got up in the morning."

"It's midnight, and his wife went to steal fish and didn't come back all night. Can he sleep?"

Mayberry also figured out what was wrong.

"This guy... I'm going to investigate." Mayberry took the investigation into her own hands.

It was just that Mei You looked at Mei Bei's chest-beating expression, and then thought about it and said: "You can also talk to other people about this and find a solution together."

This time, she was out of luck and had to ask others to help her investigate.

"I will. I heard that Magistrate Yang is not a dim-witted person, so he probably won't resort to lynching. However, if he really wants to surrender, then you... just run away!"

Meiyou couldn't help but twitch her mouth when she heard Meiberry's last simple and crude solution.

·

Mei Bei told Jiubaoxuan about Baying's doubts and then went home.

After a busy day, the sky was getting dark when we left Jiubaoxuan, and the howling north wind made Meiberry tighten her woolen cloak.

Now she had to go back quickly, just in time to find out what useful information the adults at home had obtained during the day.

In the morning, I asked Tian Qi to talk to Mr. Xue about this. After all, after living for such a long time, I should have some experience, right?

Mei Bei walked home with her thoughts on her mind. When she turned around the alley, Mei Bei suddenly turned around, raised her cloak, raised her foot and kicked the person behind her.

Immediately afterwards, Mei Berry felt what seemed to be a kick to the opponent's abdomen, causing the person to groan.

Without saying a word, Meiberry pulled out the blade from her waist and pointed it towards the neck of the figure who was backing away from the wall.

"who?!"

Mei Bei shouted in a low voice, and when she looked closer, she realized that it was actually Ba Xiong, the boy from the Ba family.

"what are you doing?!"

After seeing who it was, the blade in Mayberry's hand was closer to his throat, and her tone became even worse.

Bachong also didn't expect Meiberry to be so scary and even carry a "knife" with him.

But his courage only weakened for a moment, and soon he looked like he was not afraid of death and said: "Sure enough, you sisters are all murderers! You even carry a knife when you go out. My mother was killed by you!"

"What bullshit logic?"

Mei Bei is speechless. Does this guy Bachong have any "advantages" in his mother's crooked ideas and logic?

Alas~

Seeing that Mei Bei didn't say anything, Bachong thought that Mei Bei had a guilty conscience and continued to yell: "Don't think that you are great because you have a backing! Don't try to cover the sky with your hands when you break the law in Yue Liao! My mother's business is not done with you!"

"Covering the sky with one hand?"

Mayberry was happy.

"Are you embarrassed about your mother? Your mother stole a fish and died, and it was my sister's fault. We haven't sued you for frame-up and slander yet! How about you, what evidence do you have for saying that my sister committed murder?"

"Isn't the evidence obvious? My mother was beaten to death by that frozen fish!"

"What kind of evidence is that? It can at best prove that your mother stole my sister's fish before she died!"

When Mei Bei said, "Oh," Ba Xiong was so angry that he just wanted to resist, but Mei Bei didn't even close the blade in his hand, and cut a layer of skin on his neck. He was so frightened that Ba Xiong's legs immediately became weak.

Come down.

"You, you, you, do you want to kill someone and silence them?"

"I kill people and silence them? It's obvious that you are seeking death yourself."

Mayberry simply rolled her eyes.

"You, you colluded with those wealthy businessmen to convict your sister! Now you want to kill me, and you say I asked for it. Are you really not afraid of thunder from the sky?!"

Look at Bachong's righteous words, if it weren't for the smell of urine coming from below him, Meiberry would probably have to admire him as a man.

Obviously, Ba Xiong didn't know what Jiubaoxuan did, but because Mei You was imprisoned today, he saw that Mei You's house was very lively.

Several groups of people dressed differently from ordinary people came and went there.

His tracking was actually discovered.

"You think too highly of your mother, don't you?"

Faced with the other party's accusations, which could be described as persecutory paranoia, Mayberry was truly speechless.

"Let me tell you, your mother's death has nothing to do with us. The reason why we came to find these people is just to find out who framed our family."

With Meiyou's strength, if he hammered down a frozen fish, a headless corpse would appear, which would be like a direct headshot.

Are you leaving this for his mother to keep her body intact?

Who do you look down on?

Meiberry didn't say this directly, but Meiberry couldn't help complaining to the system.

In this regard, the system can only say that Mayberry understands it quite thoroughly.

"You are here to keep an eye on me when you have time. Why don't you imagine who your mother, with her virtue, usually has enemies with? Think about whether there is anyone who might want to fish in troubled waters. If you find your mother stealing the fish from my sister's house, you can stop her.

Your mother was beaten to death, and then she tried to frame it on my sister."

"You're talking nonsense. Do you still want to drag others into trouble?"

Bachong spoke forcefully, but there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.

Of course he knows what his mother's virtues are.

Seeing this, Mei Bei smiled and said: "Your mother and we only have hatred for this fish. If your mother steals the fish, we can't deal with your mother in a way that may cause trouble for us, right?"

Who steals a fish for no reason, then turns around and beats him to death?

It's not a fish made of gold.

I said, you don’t even think about it yourself. If a thief steals candied haws from you, can you catch the thief and kill him? Impossible, right?"

"But, but my father said..."

"Your dad said, do you believe everything your dad says?"

It's okay not to mention Ba Ying. When Ba Xiong mentioned it, Mei Bei interrupted him directly and said, "He said that your mother was found stealing fish and was beaten to death by my sister. Then when did your father know about it?"

When he found out last night that your mother was stealing fish, he actually slept peacefully until dawn..."

At the end of the sentence, Mei Bei raised her head and stared at Bachong's shaken and panic eyes with her dark eyes, and asked: "Tell me, has your mother ever offended anyone? And the kind of person who has caused trouble for someone's life."

That kind of thing.”
