Garden District.
Ning Cheng and Mu Xiaoyu arrived at the home of the deceased Zheng Ling.
The owner of the house was a middle-aged couple, and they had a son who was doing homework at home.
Seeing Ning Cheng reveal his identity, they were very surprised. When they learned that their neighbor, Zheng Ling, had died, they were even more shocked.
"The old lady Zheng Ling is dead?”
The male owner could not hide his stunned expression. Anyone who saw their neighbor die tragically would be surprised and panicked.
"Officer, how did Old Madam Zheng Ling die?”
"The preliminary judgment is that it might be an acquaintance who killed the old lady, Zheng Ling.”
" Don't worry," Ning Cheng said to the neighbor couple." We're just doing our routine questioning."”
" Good, good, good!!!"
"We will definitely tell you everything we know!”
The man nodded and said honestly,"Officer, if you have any questions, just ask."”
"Alright, according to your understanding, as neighbors, what kind of person do you think the deceased's old lady, Zheng Ling, is?”
"Although we don't have much contact, she's very polite, decent, and pays more attention to rules. She's a little old-fashioned and traditional.”
Mu Xiaoyu turned on her voice recorder as the male host spoke.
" The old lady has a very strong temper," said the neighbor's mistress, Xiao Li." There was once when I left a cardboard box outside the door and took up some space in her house. She threw it directly into the trash can and left.”
"Although I took up some of their space at that time, that kind of behavior made me very uncomfortable. She's an old woman, so I couldn't say anything.”
"In addition, is there anything else to add?”Ning Cheng asked.
Neighbor Xiao Li said," Old Madam Zheng Ling looks very rich. She usually wears gold and jade. She looks very rich!"”
"Oh, is that so?"
Ning Cheng was surprised." Where did the gold and jade come from? Is it her own?"”
"The Zheng family has always been quite rich. When Old Madam Zheng Ling's wife died, she inherited all of the Zheng family's inheritance!”
"But later, the old lady felt that she was living alone, so she ran over to her daughter and son-in-law's place to stay. Later, she heard that her son-in-law had a car accident and was hospitalized.”
Liu Meili, the neighbor's mistress, was very gossipy and kept talking.
"According to what we know, Zheng Ling's son-in-law, Li Ming, was hospitalized in a car accident. It was the old lady, Zheng Ling, who asked her daughter to get a divorce." Ning Cheng said.
"Oh, oh, I remember now. Yes, yes, yes. It was Old Madam Zheng Ling who forced me to do it ~"
The female owner Zheng Ling's gossipy mind was ignited. She said excitedly,
"I don't know if it's true. I heard others say it.
When the old lady, Zheng Ling, despised her son-in-law for being a renovation worker, she was unable to make money after the car accident, so she simply forced her daughter and son-in-law to divorce. She moved in, and the property rights of the house still belonged to the old lady.”
Beside him, Mu Xiaoyu's hand that was holding the recording pen trembled, and she looked shocked.
What surprised her was that the deceased old lady, Zheng Ling, did not have a good reputation.
"Didn't Zheng Ran resist when she divorced her husband back then?”Mu Xiaoyu could not help but ask.
Liu Meili shook her head."
"It's been more than ten years, and I don't know the inside story.
However, I think Zheng Ran is a very soft-hearted woman. She usually doesn't quarrel with others. She also listens to her mother, Zheng Ling, and has never violated anything!”
"If Zheng Ling had asked her daughter, Zheng Ran, to divorce her husband back then, she might have done the same ~"
" This woman should be more stubborn. She's so well-off, good-looking, has a good figure, and works in a public institution. She should be more stubborn."
Ning Cheng's heart trembled. He had already understood the inside story of that year.
Zheng Ran's personality was really weak. Back then, she listened to her mother, Zheng Ling, and divorced her husband, Li Ming.
Based on his personality, even if his daughter Zheng Fangyuan and his mother Zheng Ling had a conflict, he might not care.
"How was the relationship between the deceased's old lady, Zheng Ling, and her brothers, Zheng Fangping and Zheng Fangyuan?”
Ning Cheng interrupted his female neighbor, Liu Meili, who was chattering nonstop.
"Treat Zheng Fangping and Zheng Fangyuan?”
The female neighbor, Liu Meili, paused for half a second and said after thinking,"Treat them differently!"
What do you mean?
The old lady, Zheng Ling, thought highly of her brother, Zheng Fangping, but she did not think much of her younger brother, Zheng Fangyuan!
The female neighbor returned to her chatty state and said,
Usually, the old lady Zheng Ling would give good food, drinks, and beautiful clothes to her brother Zheng Fangping.
His younger brother, Zheng Fangyuan, lived a miserable life. He did not have much to eat or drink. Other than going to school, he was also responsible for cooking, taking out the trash, washing clothes, and so on!
"So biased?"
Ning Cheng frowned and asked,"Why is the old lady Zheng Ling treating the two brothers with such a big attitude?"”
Liu Meili shook her head." I'm not sure about that. It's not my place to ask about other people's family matters."”
"I think I can answer that!"
The male owner frowned slightly and said,
"From the old lady's attitude, I feel that she doesn't treat her brother Zheng Fangyuan as family. Instead, she treats him like a servant!”
"Five or six days ago, when I just left the house, I saw the old lady insulting Zheng Fangyuan at the door and calling her a b * tch!”
At this stage of the investigation, Ning Cheng could already confirm the motive of his brother Zheng Fangyuan's murder.
It was very likely that his younger brother, Zheng Fangyuan, had been verbally insulted, bullied, and even physically abused by his grandmother, Zheng Ling, for a long time. This caused his younger brother, Zheng Fangyuan, to explode and kill Zheng Ling in anger.
Family abuse was the original sin that led to murder cases!
His mother, Zheng Ran, was a weak person. Not only did she not stop him, but she also acted as a moisturizer for the family.
On the contrary, he helped the tyrant and watched his youngest son, Zheng Fangyuan, suffer from long-term bullying and abuse. This caused Zheng Fangyuan's heart to turn cold and his teeth to turn cold.
Ning Cheng could vaguely guess the truth, and he felt a little suffocated.
He had only seen Zheng Fangyuan once just now.
However, judging from his youthful aura, he was still a young man.
But he had come to this step!
"Brother Zheng Fangping and brother Zheng Fangyuan, how is their relationship?”
Ning Cheng could not help but wonder what kind of environment Zheng Fangyuan was in.
Grandmother Zheng Ling's bullying and abuse, mother Zheng Ran's indulgence and indifference, what role did brother Zheng Fangping play in this?
The man and woman smiled when they heard this question.
"Brother Zheng Fangping and brother Zheng Fangyuan have a good relationship!”
"I often see my brother Zheng Fangping buying delicious food for my brother Zheng Fangyuan in private and bringing him out to play. The relationship between the two brothers is really enviable.”
