Chapter 519: Chapter 522 Traces of a Spider and a Horse_1
"Could it be Lao Guang? I remember when Erhu was paying respects to our ancestors, Lao Guang said he needed to pee urgently."
"Lao Guang is only interested in other men’s wives, why would he want to strangle someone’s chicken?"
"Don’t go smearing people without any proof. If I had strangled someone’s chicken, would I still be here enjoying the drama?"
Lao Guang looked at the person doubting him with disdain.
As someone used to being a troublemaker, didn’t he know the rule to run away quickly after causing mischief? If he hadn’t run, he would have been beaten to death by the men long ago.
"Shuanzi, you were there too. Could it be you who did it?"
"What nonsense. Why would I strangle a chicken’s neck? If you don’t believe me, I can swear on my life that if I had done it, I wouldn’t die a good death. Now do you believe me?"
"You’re harsh enough, I believe it wasn’t you."
Now they were at an impasse. Who could it be?
Tan Zhenghong reminded everyone, "Think about it, the Silver Lilac was right there, whether you can get it or not is up to your skills."
"At that time, everyone was just excited about the commotion, who would notice who wasn’t there?"
"And there were a bunch of kids spectating, chattering away—it made my head hurt from the noise."
"The key point is, who would have thought that someone would go strangle a chicken? I’ve lived for decades and have never seen such a despicable act!"
It’s a sad story, the Silver Lilac was in Qiao Duo’er’s hands, but they couldn’t get it.
While they were heatedly discussing, Qiao Duo’er was busy observing everyone’s facial expressions.
But everyone seemed pretty calm, suggesting that no one was lying.
Damn it, who the hell did this?
Sun Erhu pleaded, "Sister-in-law, in all my life I’ve only admired one person and that’s you—you have to help me this time."
"I... will do my best." Qiao Duo’er didn’t dare to make any guarantees.
These days, without fingerprint technology or surveillance footage, if the perpetrator didn’t come forward, her psychological tactics were utterly useless.
Lin Jinshun said impatiently, "Can you all just finish up and take your things and go?"
But right now, everyone wanted the Silver Lilac, and nobody had time to deal with Lin Jinshun.
"Could it be those damn kids? Go and ask them, maybe they know something," someone suddenly said.
Quite a few people sprang into action, pulling their kids aside to ask.
"Think hard. If you can help win back that Lilac, I’ll cook you braised pork. But if you can’t remember, I’m going to spank you."
The child hemmed and hawed for a long time without naming anyone, then the woman smacked the child’s bottom twice.
The poor kid immediately started howling, "I don’t know, I really don’t know!"
This was getting too frightening!
"Why are you scaring the child like that? The kid says he doesn’t know, hitting him more is useless!"
"You don’t know either. What right do you have to spank a child?"
The woman withdrew her hand begrudgingly, but she was still disappointed with her child’s ineptitude.
But there is no wall in the world that doesn’t let some wind through. If someone commits a bad deed, there will always be one or two people who notice something suspicious.
An attentive girl said, "I heard Lin Xiaobao cursing Uncle Erhu, calling him a toad wanting to eat swan meat, and said many other nasty things. After cursing, he didn’t play with us."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Just because my Little Treasure wasn’t playing with you means he’s the culprit?"
Jiang’s Clan glared fiercely at the girl.
The girl’s mother was not pleased: "My Da Nier didn’t say anything. Why are you being so fierce to her?"
