Chapter 71: Truth...They Are My Children
When they saw the police, the Xu Laigou family might not have understood what was happening. However, upon seeing Xiang Chen sitting beside Xu Hengzhou with a clean face, they suddenly realized.
Xu Laigou's wife, initially resigned to her fate and waiting to take her two heartless sons down with her before dying, was shocked to see Xiang Chen at the police station. No, not a ghostly child—just an ordinary kid.
Almost breaking free from the police holding her, Xu Laigou's wife lunged toward Xiang Chen, her voice hoarse, "You lied to me! You lied! Rot in hell, all of you! You wicked child, little liar, die! You..."
Xu Laigou and his sons also joined in the cursing, infuriated that they had been scared by a child to this extent and ended up in such a predicament. As the family was taken to the police station, their anger reached its peak.
Xu Hengzhou pressed down on the back of Xiang Chen's head, allowing him to lie in his embrace, and covered his ears with his hands, shielding him from those malicious curses.
"Take them inside," the police escorting them, upon hearing their profanity, hastened their actions and quickly locked the family away.
Subsequently, the police officers re-recorded statements from the Xu Laigou family. Despite the questionable legality of the evidence provided by Song Wenbin and others, it was still usable, as the testimony of the villagers added weight to it.
Due to Xiang Chen's exposed identity, the Xu Laigou family attempted to recant, but the police officers were not to be trifled with, employing separate interrogations to break them down one by one. Xu Laigou, feeling somewhat innocent as he didn't directly participate, remained weak-willed and selfish, admitting guilt when questioned.
The two adult sons, having developed animosity during a previous dispute, were no different from enemies now. Despite being mother and sons, their relationship had soured, and even if they wanted to recant, their words were inconsistent, full of excuses and contradictions. In the end, they could only confess their crimes honestly.
With no defense left, Xu Laigou's wife, under the weight of overwhelming evidence, first went through a fit of crying and laughter, bordering on madness. After the frenzy, she was willing to plead guilty but obstinately insisted that her two sons were also responsible for Xu Gouzi's death.
Xu Danshan's wife and children, the death of Lin Xiuhua and her younger son, were undoubtedly attributed to Mrs. Xu Laigou. However, the death of Xu Gouzi, due to the joint action of the three, constituted an accomplice. Xu Laigou's wife incited the attack, and there were witnesses to prove that Xu Damao and Xu Ersha did indeed participate. They could not produce evidence to prove that they did not kill Xu Gouzi, so they had to bear responsibility as well.
There was a little twist in the middle. Xu Laigou's wife told the police that Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen were impostors and asked the police to arrest them too.
The police found it amusing, but Xu Laigou's wife insisted that these two were deceiving people, pretending to be someone else's children to take advantage, and they should be arrested. Although the police found it amusing, they still brought Song Wenbin and the others in for questioning.
At that time, Xu Laigou's wife was also present. She had been frightened by Xiang Chen, wet her pants, and had been detained by the villagers for two days. Now she looked dirty and smelly, resembling a crazy woman.
