"You don't have any intention of harming others? I don't think so."

Suddenly hearing a cold female voice, Yuan's mother trembled. She raised her head and looked at the source of the sound warily.

Mother Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when she discovered that Chu Yao was not wearing a police uniform.

"Where did this little girl come from? Why did you get in the way when I was talking to my niece?" Mother Yuan asked fiercely.

In her opinion, this girl was only about twenty years old, and she should be Chen Peiwen's life assistant or something like that.

Mother Yuan usually bosses around Chen Peiwen's secretary, let alone a young girl?

Chen Peiwen knows the character of Feng Shui masters best. Some Feng Shui masters have weird personalities. Not to mention Mother Yuan who deliberately ignores her, even accidentally saying a few wrong words will make them angry.

She hurriedly said: "Auntie, this is..."

Chu Yao interrupted her and said, "You just wanted Sister Peiwen to help you deal with the nitrite in the bedroom, right?"

"Nonsense! There is no such salt as you mentioned in my bedroom!" Mother Yuan retorted excitedly.

Chen Peiwen was also a little surprised. The dialect Yuan's mother spoke was very difficult to understand. How did Chu Yao know what she said?

"I'm afraid you don't know that the police have already found the nitrite in your room." Chu Yao smiled casually, "Why, you are afraid of being discovered. Have you been using those things?"

Mother Yuan wanted to stand up, but her hands were tightly cuffed to the chair. She could only roar angrily: "You! Don't talk nonsense here! That's all your imagination, not true! Peiwen , get this little girl with no tutor out of here! Hurry up, are you going to make me mad?!"

She thought that Chen Peiwen would do as she said, but she was disappointed.

Chen Peiwen turned her head and asked eagerly: "What have you discovered? Tell me quickly!"

She has not forgotten the task assigned to her by the police.

But Yuan's mother refused to admit it to her death and asked her to help conceal it. She felt that there would be no clues to be found about Yuan's mother.

"For so many years, there have been only two people living in the Yuan family." Chu Yao's eyes stayed on Yuan's mother, "If you wanted to commit suicide, you would not be alive today. Then, those nitrites will definitely It was eaten by another person, right?”

Mother Yuan did not dare to look at her, but muttered: "You have no evidence, so just say whatever you want."

"What do you mean? What do you mean by another person... Apart from aunt, isn't there only Jiahao in the Yuan family?" Chen Peiwen looked at Yuan's mother in disbelief.

Chu Yao really had no conclusive evidence, and she saw that Yuan's mother must be in a state of confusion at this time, so she used her mind-reading ability on Yuan's mother.

A light yellow object appeared in front of Chu Yao's eyes, and she quickly guessed what Yuan's mother was thinking.

"Let me remind you that if you take the initiative to speak out, it will be regarded as surrendering, and the crime can be reduced as appropriate." Chu Yao said leisurely, "Do you think that if the police had not had conclusive evidence, they would have asked me and Sister Peiwen to come and talk to you?"

Chen Peiwen blinked blankly. Aren't they the ones who were asked by the police to talk to them?

Why does what Chu Yao say seem to be completely different from each other?

Seeing that Yuan's mother still kept silent, Chu Yao reminded her again, "Do you remember when was the last time the water supply was cut off at home?"

In an instant, Yuan's mother turned pale. She bit her lips until a smell of rust spread.

It was this fishy smell that woke her up. Her eyes suddenly became bright and her sharp gaze was fixed on Chu Yao.

"Do you dare to swear that what you said didn't lie to me?" Her voice was hoarse, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

Chu Yao recalled calmly, what did she just say?

It seems to be saying, "If you surrender, your sentence may be reduced as appropriate."

It seems that what Yuan's mother is most concerned about is what sentence she will be sentenced to in the end and how much she will suffer.

"Of course I swear that I didn't lie to you." Chu Yao looked at her without fear.

Mother Yuan looked at Chu Yao's expression and found no trace of lying or guilty conscience.

Finally, she was defeated, and her whole momentum collapsed.

She nodded twice and said, "Okay, I'll say it. But I'm only telling the police. You go out and call the police in."

"Well, I'll see you again, aunt."

After saying this, Chen Peiwen stood up and walked out.

After leaving the police station, Chen Peiwen immediately asked: "What do you mean by that sentence? Why is my aunt so nervous?"

"Probably because she knew she had an oversight." Chu Yao said, "As far as I know, before Mr. Yuan passed away, the Yuan family probably didn't hire a nanny, right?"

Chen Peiwen said with approval: "Yes, my aunt does many things herself. No matter how we persuade her, she doesn't listen."

Chu Yao asked again: "If it were you, where would you choose to put the nitrite?"

"It must be in the food. You need to use a lot of seasonings when cooking, which will directly cover up the taste of nitrite." Chen Peiwen replied.

She suddenly realized something. According to what Chu Yao said, her aunt put saltpeter, which was comparable to poison, into her cousin Yuan Jiahao's diet.

And she was afraid of being discovered by others, so she didn't hire a nanny, and all the housework fell on her.

When Yuan's mother was young, she was quite capable of doing these housework, but as she got older, she gradually began to lose her ability.

Chen Peiwen sometimes makes video calls to her aunt, and she can see that her home is messier than before.

The area where the Yuan family is located is full of old houses, and underground water pipes often have problems, and water outages are common.

Under such circumstances, it would have taken several days for Yuan's mother to wash the dishes and mop the floor. Once the water was cut off, the delay would probably be even longer.

Therefore, Mother Yuan would probably put away the unwashed dishes and wait until the water came before washing them.

After all, Yuan's mother is an old man, and it is normal for her to be forgetful.

She herself couldn't remember if there were any unwashed dishes in the cupboard, but she was sure of one thing - every unwashed bowl would be tested for nitrite.

As long as the police go to Yuan's house to search, they will definitely find those evidences.

If Yuan's mother didn't tell her in advance, her situation would get worse.

However, there is one more thing that Chen Peiwen still can't figure out.

"My aunt poisoned my uncle because he cheated on her and betrayed her. What about my cousin? She has never done anything to regret her aunt." Chen Peiwen asked.

If she dislikes her daughter for having dementia, then she can abandon her daughter.

But she didn't do this, and instead refused Mr. Yan's adoption.

Chu Yao only said one sentence, "If you hate someone, it may not necessarily be because the other person has done something annoying. It may also be because you have done something you shouldn't have done, but others discovered it."

Although Chen Peiwen and Yuan Jiaxiang are cousins, their families can be said to be worlds apart.

Chen Peiwen's parents devoted all their love to their daughter. Even though she was born in an era with strong traditional values, her father did not treat her poorly because she took her mother's surname.

The Chen family is not a wealthy family, but it has always been a wealthy daughter. Whatever she wants to do, her parents will support her unconditionally.

The Yuan family is just the opposite. The father has been missing for many years, and the mother hates the two children more than she loves them.

Everyone else thought that Yuan Jia's illness was incurable, but no one thought that Yuan's mother had contributed to her worsening condition.

The root of all this is that Yuan Jiahao may have seen evidence of Yuan's mother's handling of the corpse.

Therefore, Chen Peiwen could not imagine that a mother would do this to her child.

When Yuan's mother killed Yuan's father, Yuan Jiahao had just been born and naturally had no memory.

But Yuan's father's body was not so easy to dispose of. With Yuan's mother's thin body, it was impossible for her to dig a huge pit that could hold the body overnight.

Moreover, she had just given birth and her father disappeared again, so all her relatives' attention was on her.

If Mrs. Yuan was slightly abnormal, people would notice her, so she had to wait.

Perhaps, when Yuan Jiahao was born, Yuan's mother really wanted her to recover.

But Yuan's mother is just an ordinary person. She doesn't have a high IQ, let alone any anti-investigation ability. She doesn't know how to deal with the corpse at all.

Her method was clumsy. She hid the body first and then dug a hole in the backyard from time to time.

There are only two children living with her. The eldest son has to go to school every day, and the younger daughter is so young that no one will find out what she is doing.

But Yuan's mother forgot that her daughter would grow up, and her intellectual disability, which was not considered serious, would slowly recover.

When she discovered that Yuan Jiahao had seen something she shouldn't have seen, she was left with only one choice - to let her daughter forever be a disabled person who could not speak.

After thinking about this, Chen Peiwen sighed softly: "No wonder... When Axiang was six or seven years old, my aunt often let him live in our house, saying that she wanted to take Jiahao to see a doctor elsewhere, and there was nothing she could do. Take care of Xiang."

Chen Peiwen was still relatively ignorant at that time. After her cousin moved here, Chen's mother was worried that she would be unhappy, but she felt that the home had become more lively and she had a playmate.

Now that I think about it, it should be because Yuan Jiaxiang has grown up, and Yuan's mother is afraid that he will find something.

At that time, Yuan Jiahao's condition was most recurrent.

If Yuan's mother really takes Yuan Jiahao to see a doctor, although her condition may not necessarily improve, it is unlikely to regress so quickly.

But Yuan Jiahao's IQ returned to its original level almost within a few days, which meant that Yuan's mother had already begun to poison her at that time.

The husband is missing, and if the daughter dies suddenly, it will be too obvious.

She had to carefully consider the dosage so that the nitrite would affect Yuan Jiahao's thinking ability just right without causing his death.

In addition, Yuan Jiahao is very afraid of the color red, but the color red in the Yuan family can be seen everywhere.

If Mother Yuan really wanted her daughter to get better, how could she ignore these key details?

At this time, Chen Peiwen felt an unconcealable depression in her heart.

Even though she had solved the mystery left by her cousin, she was still one step too late after he passed away.

No, it was more than five years too late.

If she had discovered the truth earlier, would they still be alive?

Chu Yao interrupted her thoughts and asked, "What I'm more curious about is, what did she just say to you in the police station? It should be to help her escape the crime or something."

"How do you know?" Chen Peiwen was stunned for a moment.

The dialect spoken by Yuan's mother is an extremely rare dialect, which is also related to the place where their ancestors lived.

If it weren't for Chen's father speaking a few words from time to time, Chen Peiwen would really not be able to understand this dialect.

Before she met Chu Yao, she had checked Chu Yao's information.

Chu Yao has only lived in two places, both of which are far away from Yuan's mother's ancestral home and are not related to each other.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for her to understand what Yuan Mu said, so she could only guess it herself.

Chen Peiwen said slowly: "She probably asked me to tell the police that nannies and cleaning staff often come in and out of the Yuan family, especially an aunt who is extremely jealous, so they may have tampered with things in the house. "

"So that's it." Chu Yao nodded clearly.

Chen Peiwen frowned in confusion, and then said: "However, the fact that she killed her uncle is enough to warrant a death sentence, right? As for whether she poisoned her cousin, what is the difference between whether she told her or not? "

If it were Chen Peiwen herself who said it, she might be relieved.

"No, there is a lack of physical and human evidence in the case of her killing Mr. Yuan, so she will most likely be judged on the basis of 'innocent until proven guilty'." Chu Yao said slowly, "Only if we can find evidence that she poisoned Yuan Jiahao can we sentence her."

All current investigation results can only draw two conclusions. First, Yuan's father died of nitrite poisoning; second, Yuan's mother held a large amount of nitrite.

But the nitrite found by the police was not the bottles of nitrite that poisoned Yuan's father. The original bottles of nitrite had been disposed of by Yuan's mother.

The chain of evidence is not complete enough, and Yuan's mother is likely to be acquitted.

If the tableware with salt nitrate residue is found, it proves that she did poison, and she can be convicted.

Chen Peiwen felt somewhat conflicted. On the one hand, she hoped that the bad guys could be brought to justice; on the other hand, she understood that older criminals like Yuan's mother who surrendered would not be sentenced to a long sentence.

It is even possible that she will not be jailed, but her activities will only be restricted.

Chu Yao seemed to have seen through her thoughts and reminded him: "I only said that surrendering will result in a reduced sentence, but I did not say that surrendering will definitely reduce the sentence."

Only those who surrender if the crime is minor or provide important clues will be considered for reduced sentences.

However, Yuan's mother did not take the initiative to surrender, and only told her crime story after being interrogated. Her repentance was not strong, and the possibility of a reduced sentence was very small.

Chen Peiwen took a deep breath and tried to clear her mind.

She asked the driver to drive to a teahouse. There is no doubt that this teahouse is also an industry under her name and is also the top teahouse in Hongyong County.

The most important thing is that the confidentiality of Chen Peiwen's own territory naturally reassures her.
