Chapter 39 Flaws

Liu Laoer quickly agreed, thought for a while and said, "I went to the field to work very late that day. It was already the second day of the second day when I returned to the village. I was tired and exhausted. Because I had a hill of fields that were quite far from our village, and it took about an hour to go there. It would be impossible to take care of it. So every time I went there to take care of the crops, I had to see stars at both ends. After I got home, I ate in a hurry and felt very tired, so I wanted to drink some wine to relieve my fatigue. So I went to Chang Widow's House winery.

When I came, there was no one in the winery, only Pang Yan and Sister Chang were left. Pang Yan was already drunk at that time, squinted his drunken eyes, and he didn't say hello when he saw me laughing. Sister Chang said that I was here just in time and she wanted to help Pang Yan back, but Pang Yan was unwilling to leave, so I asked me to persuade him too. It was late at night to avoid worrying the family. I persuaded a few words, but Pang Yan got angry and said that I would either stay for drinking or get out of here, and I wouldn't dare to persuade him anymore."

Lu Jinping said: "Where were you sitting at that time?"

"In the window of the winery, after drinking, I get hot and breathe. That is Pang Yan's favorite place to sit. Others are fat and afraid of heat the most. He sits there every time."

Lu Jinping looked at him and said, "But, Widow Chang just said that he was not sitting there, he was sitting in the position I am now. Who can you say it correctly?"

Captain Xiong listened, and couldn't help but be stunned. He glanced at Lu Jinping, thinking that Lu Jinping hadn't asked Peng Yan exactly where he was sitting. Why did Lu Jinping say such things at this moment?

He soon knew the answer. Because Liu Lao Er was obviously stunned for a moment, he scratched his head and said, "I remember he was sitting in that position. Did I remember it wrong? Maybe I was a little drunk after drinking a lot of cups that day. Maybe I remember it wrongly, what he said should be."

Lu Jinping smiled faintly: "You continue to say, what's next?"

Liu Laoer secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Later, we drank together. By the time we were about 4th, Pang Yan was drunk and vomited. Sister Chang took a wooden basin and fed water to get him the vomiting filth. Then, we discussed helping him back, but Pang Yan shook his head and said he couldn't go back. Today he wanted to sleep here, and he would be anxious if he sent him back. I said no, Sister Chang never left the drinkers here to spend the night. It was so bad that she would go back quickly, but he refused. I told Sister Chang that she would let her sleep here, we could sleep separately, and I could testify for her. Sister Chang had no choice but to agree. So we helped him into the inner room and lay on the bed. Then Sister Chang slept in the wine cellar, and I slept in the hall. I stayed to avoid others talking about her. Later..."

"Wait first!" Lu Jinping interrupted him, "Did you take off his pants when you helped him into the house?"

Liu Laoer was stunned for a moment and said, "How is it possible that I didn't take it off? It was already difficult for Sister Chang to keep him here for a night. How could he let him take off his clothes and trousers and lie on his own bed? If someone saw it, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly, so he would never do this."

"Did you guess or did you see it?" Lu Jinping looked at him with a sneering smell, with a hint of crampage in his words.

Liu Lao Er was a little frightened and said, "Yes, I saw it. Of course I saw it! I didn't see Sister Chang take off her pants, and of course I didn't. I just said this. Sister Chang wouldn't do this. Haha."

Lu Jinping stared at his eyes and said slowly, "But, your sister Chang, also known as Widow Chang, said that Pang Yan's pants were stained by vomit that night, so she took them off and washed the dirty areas. She dried them to prepare for him to wear the next day. Later, she found out that he was dead, so she quickly put them on again. What is the explanation?"

Captain Xiong was stunned when he heard this. Lu Jinping asked Widow Chang this question before. But Widow Chang clearly stated that he did not take off his pants, but Lu Jinping fabricated this fact that Widow Chang said he had taken off his pants. But with the previous experience, he quickly understood that Lu Jinping was testing Liu Laoer, so he restrained this time and did not turn his head to look at Lu Jinping, and still looked at Liu Laoer's face calmly, with a few more mocking expressions.

"Is there something like this? Why don't I remember it?" Liu Laoer seemed very uneasy.

"Do you really can't remember it, or don't know at all?"

"I know! Of course I know, why didn't I know that night when I was here!"

Lu Jinping sneered and said in a faint tone: "Okay, then you continue to say, what about later?"

"I slept in the hall until dawn, and when it was almost dawn, I felt that if I waited until dawn before I walked out with Pang Yan, if someone was seen, someone would gossip behind me. The villagers were staring at her. The so-called widow had a lot of trouble in front of the door, so I couldn't cause trouble for Sister Chang. Therefore, I thought to help Pang Yan out and take him home before dawn. When I entered Sister Chang's inner room, I saw Pang Yan lying on the ground at the head of the bed, which scared me and was exhausted. I was frightened and ran away and called Sister Chang. Sister Chang said that he had drunk so much wine and must have been drunk. Hurry up and went to find a doctor and told Yuanwai Zhou. This is what happened."

"What did you see the body at that time? Come in and show me."

Liu Laoer followed Lu Jinping to the inner room, gestured and said, "It's here, I'm lying down like this." As he said that, he crawled on the ground and made a general move, indicating that Pang Yan was lying on the ground like this.

Lu Jinping sneered and said, "No! Just now, the widow often said that the body was not in this position, but on the other side, the ground beside the window, was lying on the back, not lying on its slump. What is the explanation?"

Captain Xiong felt a little surprised. He was a little strange about Lu Jinping's question, because what the widow often described just now was indeed the same as what Liu Laoer said, and he was lying in front of the bed like this. This was consistent with what Zhou Yuanwai said later. Why did Master Lu insist on liaring that he was there? He didn't understand the intention.

This time, Liu Laoer immediately retorted: "Impossible! I saw the body with my own eyes, and I had never moved. Sister Chang said that she had never moved, so how could she lie there and face the sky?"

"Sister Chang said she hadn't moved?" Lu Jinping couldn't help but sneer, "That's to say, before you found the body, Sister Chang had already discovered the body, and didn't you just say that you were the first to discover it?"

Liu Laoer was a little panicked: "I... I mean, no one has moved, neither of us has moved the body, until Mr. Zhou came outside, the body looked like that. It was impossible that Sister Chang would not say that as the master said just now."

Lu Jinping asked: "Who else in your family except you?"

"There are my wife and a son, who is five years old this year, and my father and mother, but we have already separated and they live in the old house, across the street."

Lu Jinping turned his head and said to Captain Xiong: "Send someone to take Liu Lao Er outside to guard the good life, and he is not allowed to talk to anyone."
