Chapter 298 You said your man is a military officer? Which unit is he in? What's his name? What
"Don't give me that nonsense. I wasn't raised by being threatened. Just tell me, did you kill Dou Yifan?"
Meng Peiyu's eyes flashed, and her tone was firm: "Of course not!"
"Since that's the case, Guanci... the abandoned house on the mountain, we'll let her go when she accepts it!"
The able-bodied men in the village immediately led the woman down the mountain. Meng Peiyu cried out in panic, "You can't do this! You can't use torture! My husband is a military officer. If he finds out, he won't let you get away with this!"
Dou Sanyang raised his hand: "Wait, you said your man is a military officer? Which unit is he in, what's his name, and what's his rank?"
Although Dou Sanyang was inclined to favor Liu Caibai, he would not offend any important figures.
Hearing Meng Peiyu's words, he cautiously asked, "Since your husband is a military officer, why are you visiting this criminal? Are you in cahoots?"
"No, absolutely not. I just have a past relationship with Dou Yifan. I heard he was paralyzed, so I came to visit him."
"What do you mean by 'old'? You need to be more specific."
As far as I know, Dou Yifan's colleagues, friends, and even his parents-in-law have cut ties with him.
If it weren't for the higher-ups personally sending him back to Doujia Village, his elder brother and sister-in-law wouldn't have wanted to acknowledge him.
Just how deep must your friendship be for you to defy the world and come to see him? And half an hour after you left, Dou Yifan breathed his last.
This looks exactly like murder to cover up a crime!
Meng Peiyu was devastated. She hadn't expected that simply checking Dou Yifan's memories would cause him so much trouble. That Dou guy was utterly useless.
But she forgot that Dou Yifan had been bedridden for several months. Even if he were in good spirits, he couldn't compare to a normal person.
Moreover, she was so ruthless back then that she allowed the black energy to surround the opponent's entire brain.
Dou Sanyang's words left Meng Peiyu speechless, but she couldn't admit it, much less reveal her information about Chen Junyan.
Seeing her silence, Dou Sanyang thought for a moment and said, "Since this woman doesn't admit to being involved in Yifan's death, Lao San, go to the commune and ask the police to come over."
Meng Peiyu panicked, thinking that if she were arrested, even without evidence, it would affect her and Junyan's reputation.
He hurriedly said, "I have other things to do and it's inconvenient for me to go to the police station. Captain Dou, just tell me what you want for me to go!"
"Are you admitting that you caused Dou Yifan's death?"
"No, I just don't want to get entangled with you. Tell me, if I were really the murderer, would I have come to watch his funeral? I would have run far away by now!"
"This..." Everyone thought it made sense.
"But it's true that Yifan stopped breathing right after you left, and he died from that kind of reason. Comrade, tell me, what exactly were you doing in the house!"
Liu Caibai clutched her chest, crying pitifully.
"I didn't do anything, I just talked to him for a while!"
"Do you think people will believe you?"
Everyone shook their heads: "He can't speak. What do you say to him? Just watch him nod or shake his head."
Meng Peiyu looked Liu Caibai straight in the eye: "If you accuse me without concrete evidence, you will be convicted of defamation and imprisoned. Rather than a fight to the death, you should think carefully about what you need."
Although I have nothing to do with Dou Yifan's death, out of consideration for our past acquaintance, I'm willing to help you one last time on his behalf.
Liu Caibai knew that given her current lowly status, she would most likely be released if Meng Peiyu denied it. And she would definitely face a brutal reprisal.
Such a ruthless woman, if you can't kill her with one blow, it's best not to offend her to the death.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I want three thousand yuan!"
"Heh, heh, what makes you think Dou Yifan's life is worth three thousand yuan!" Meng Peiyu rolled her eyes at her disdainfully.
"Then why don't we report it to the police?"
Having been an official's wife for so many years, Liu Caibai was quite perceptive. Clearly, Meng Peiyu didn't want anyone to know her identity. Saying this was just to scare her.
"You!" Meng Peiyu never expected that she would be manipulated by Duo Laobaihua, and for a moment she was so angry that she wanted to kill her.
"You, you're scaring me, Captain. What if she massacres our village after she escapes?"
After she finished speaking, everyone looked at Meng Peiyu warily.
Meng Peiyu took a deep breath: "You're overthinking it. New China upholds the law, and I'm a military wife. How could I commit any crimes!"
If she could turn back time, she would definitely slap herself twice. Exposing her identity not only didn't threaten anyone, but it also gave others leverage against her.
Dou Sanyang thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you write us a confession and pay us three thousand yuan in compensation, and this matter will be settled!"
"Impossible. I didn't kill anyone, so why should I write a confession?"
"That means you have three thousand yuan!"
Meng Peiyu: "......" For the first time, she felt that peasants were as cunning as foxes.
"Alright, we believe you won't massacre the village. Besides, even if you dare to do it, you'd better have the ability to clean up the mess."
We're not mortal enemies, we're just separated by Dou Yifan's life, and we have different stances.
"You've given us the money, so leave. We'll pretend we never saw you, and don't come looking for trouble. Otherwise..."
Dou Sanyang's eyes narrowed sharply: "I, an old man, have been on the battlefield myself. It's not difficult for me to bring your man down from his horse."
Meng Peiyu dared not gamble, and reluctantly took out three thousand yuan: "Count it!"
Dou Sanyang gave the accountant a wink, and the accountant stepped forward, spat twice at his thumb, and quickly started rubbing a large coin in his hand.
In just a few dozen seconds, he nodded: "That's right, it's three thousand yuan!"
The crowd erupted in uproar, and the way the members looked at Meng Peiyu changed completely. It was as if wolves had spotted sheep and wanted nothing more than to bite them.
Someone remarked, "This young vixen carries so much stuff with her every time she goes out; her family must be incredibly wealthy!"
"Yes, yes, she's probably either a corrupt official or a capitalist, sucking the blood and sweat of us ordinary people! Captain, we can't let her go, we must criticize her, criticize her!"
Meng Peiyu was so immersed in the grief of losing a huge sum of money that she didn't hear the young man's indignant words at all.
However, Dou Sanyang, fearing that things would escalate and become unmanageable, took the initiative to tell Meng Peiyu, "You should leave now and don't come back. I'll make sure they keep quiet, and I hope you won't cause trouble for the team."
Meng Peiyu snapped out of her daze, glared hatefully at Dou Sanyang, and rode away on her bicycle.
As they watched her retreating figure, the group was quite unwilling: "Uncle, are we just going to let her go like this?"
Dou Sanyang sneered: "How do you know she came here today on someone's orders? If we really detained her, she probably wouldn't even know how she died!"
Isn't Dou Yifan a perfect example?
Everyone fell silent.
Dou Sanyang took the money from the accountant, pulled out a stack of bills and handed them to Liu Caibai: "This is compensation from the woman to you."
Yangyang held out the remaining two stacks of paper: "This is your reward for the team's support. Do you have any objections?"
