I’ve Got a Knack for Investigation
I’ve Got a Knack for Investigation Chapter 030 Part 1

After Lou Fengqin had finished hitting Zhang Mei, she vented some resentment in her heart. Now, looking at Zhang Zhenfa saying these high-sounding words, she laughed in anger.

“When you say these words, don’t you feel guilty? Aren’t you ashamed? I bet back then, your family definitely said my Ah Yang was an eyesore, did you?” Lou Fengqin hadn’t interacted with Zhang Zhenfa much over the years, but just from a few interactions, she knew what kind of person Zhang Zhenfa was.

Zhang Zhenfa spoke impeccably and was particularly good at shifting blame onto others. Just like now, even though their family had instigated the matter of giving Ah Yang away, in his words, he was as clean and pure as a white lotus flower blooming in a pond.

Lou Fengqin didn’t hate Zhang Mei for snatching Lin Jianxin away. She only found out about Lin Jianxin’s dirty and rotten affairs outside when she was pregnant with Ah Yang. At that time, she was just three months pregnant, the morning sickness had ended, but after knowing those things, she felt nauseous and vomited for a long time again.

So, even if there wasn’t Zhang Mei, there would have been Li Mei or Wang Mei between her and Lin Jianxin. Moreover, ever since Ah Yue was born, her relationship with Lin Jianxin had merely been a matter of making do for the sake of the children.

The main reason Lou Fengqin didn’t like Zhang Mei was Zhang Mei’s constant insults towards her two daughters over the years. To what extent was she crazy?

It was to the point where if she was in a bad mood, she would come to their house and scold Ah Xing and Ah Yue. At first, Ah Xing and Ah Yue hid it from her, but later she caught them in the act, and she slapped Zhang Mei’s foul mouth several times. Afterwards, Zhang Mei learned her lesson and would specifically come when she was out looking for Ah Yang, but her Ah Xing and Ah Yue weren’t the kind to let others bully them. Ah Xing dared to argue back at Zhang Mei with a big broom when she was twelve years old.

Ah Yue had a softer personality, but after she grew up, Zhang Mei didn’t get any advantage over her either.

Even so, Lou Fengqin was still angry. Her good daughters, she herself hadn’t even spoken a few harsh words to them, so why should she let Zhang Mei insult them at will?

She had also gone to Zhang Zhenfa to reason with him. Zhang Zhenfa said apologetic words, but in his words, he shifted the blame for Zhang Mei scolding Ah Xing and Ah Yue onto Ah Xing and Ah Yue themselves.

His most common saying was that flies don’t bite seamless eggs. Zhang Mei scolded Ah Xing and Ah Yue because they must have done something wrong. Also, Zhang Mei was an elder, and according to seniority, Ah Xing and Ah Yue should call her “Mom.” What was wrong with a mother scolding her daughters a few times?

The rhetoric Zhang Zhenfa used back then was the same as now. The fault was always someone else’s, and it had nothing to do with his Zhang family.

At that time, Lou Fengqin had cursed Zhang Zhenfa out. Her Ah Xing and Ah Yue only had her as their mother. At most, they would have another mother-in-law after they married into their husbands’ families in the future. If Zhang Mei wanted to be their mother, she should take a piss and look at her own reflection to see if she was worthy.

Zhang Zhenfa narrowed his eyes and didn’t speak, but Lin Yongyi behind him couldn’t help but say, “Are you sick? Your own child is lost, so go find him. What are you doing at our house? A den of vixens.”

Lin Yongyi’s name was given by Zhang Mei, meaning Lin Jianxin’s only one. Lin Yongyi had always been proud of her name. Every time she went to pick a fight with the Lin Shuxing sisters, she would mention this.

Later, when she grew up and knew about beauty and ugliness, she hated the beautiful Lin Shuxing sisters even more.

They all had the same father. Why were the Lin Shuxing sisters so good-looking, while she looked so ordinary? Moreover, because she ate a lot and due to genetics, she grew fatter and fatter, and her face was the first to gain weight. Her jealousy towards the Lin Shuxing sisters became even stronger.

Lin Shuxing walked directly over and slapped Lin Yongyi in the face. “It’s been too long since I hit you. Have you forgotten what it feels like to be beaten?”

Lin Shuxing was more than ten years older than Lin Yongyi. She originally didn’t bother with Lin Yongyi, but later, Lin Yongyi’s mouth became increasingly foul, so she simply taught Lin Yongyi a lesson. Lin Yongyi was just a bully at home and would only cry after being beaten by Lin Shuxing.

But her mouth was still foul. To be honest, Lin Shuxing and the original owner didn’t feel any sense of accomplishment when they beat her. Just like now, she had been wailing loudly, but when Lin Shuxing pointed at her, she consciously closed her mouth.

Zhang Zhenfa looked at his cowardly granddaughter and then thought about Zhang Mei, who had been beaten just now and didn’t even know how to fight back. He closed his eyes. He and his wife were not cowards, so how could they have raised such cowardly daughters and granddaughters? Not only cowardly, but also ugly.

Lou Fengqin glanced at the sobbing Lin Yongyi, then looked at Zhang Zhenfa, whose eyes had already turned gloomy, and Zhang Mei, who didn’t even dare to stand up for her daughter. She smoothed her hair. “I’ve already called the police. Soon, the police will be here. All of you who sold my son, one by one, don’t even think about running away.”

The reason Lou Fengqin rushed in wasn’t for anything else. It was just that she couldn’t get through to Lin Jianxin on the phone; her anger couldn’t be suppressed, so she wanted to vent her anger on the Zhang family. The person she wanted to hit the most was Zhang Zhenfa, this old man was the most insidious, but seeing him like this now, Lou Fengqin decided not to take action.

What if this old man couldn’t take a beating and died? Who would be held responsible then?

Not long after Lou Fengqin finished speaking, the police arrived. When Zhang Zhenfa was taken away, the look in his eyes as he looked at Lou Fengqin was particularly gloomy. Zhang Mei’s face was pale, and Lin Yongyi also stopped crying, looking terrified.

Lou Fengqin had said to the Lin Shuxing sisters more than once that Zhang Zhenfa was a devious person, but Zhang Mei and Lin Yongyi hadn’t learned even a bit of his shrewdness. They were even better at being stupid and vicious.

And Lin Shuyue had said that Lin Jianxin had now obtained the Zhang family’s property, and the Zhang family of three had to live by giving Lin Jianxin’s face.

Lou Fengqin didn’t believe it at all. Maybe those were all traps set by Zhang Zhenfa for Lin Jianxin.

Lin Shuyue, however, looked at Zhang Zhenfa’s back, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

As soon as she entered the Zhang family’s house, she had turned on the Good and Evil Detection System. This old man Zhang Zhenfa’s evil value was ten percent higher than Lin Jianxin’s.

As high as 70%!

Lin Shuyue was very curious about what illegal things Zhang Zhenfa had done.

When she asked Lou Fengqin, Lou Fengqin didn’t know anything.

With curiosity, Lin Shuyue arrived at the Public Security Bureau. As soon as she entered, they saw Lin Jianxin in the lobby of the Public Security Bureau.

Lin Jianxin’s expression was very bad. He had been arrested at the residence of his young mistress, Xiaorou.

When he saw the police knocking on the door, his subconscious reaction was to run, but his last bit of sanity suppressed him.

On the way to the Public Security Bureau, he learned the charge Lou Fengqin had used when reporting him: child trafficking.

Lin Jianxin really wanted to laugh. Lin Shuyang was his son. He could give him away if he wanted to. At most, he had a moral flaw. How could that be considered a crime?

Because that’s what he thought, he wasn’t flustered at all. His anger was directed at Lou Fengqin. In his opinion, this was a family matter, and bringing family matters to the Public Security Bureau was shameful. Lou Fengqin was truly as unreasonable as she had always been.

When Lou Fengqin saw Lin Jianxin, all the old and new hatred surged up together. She rushed forward and started scratching at Lin Jianxin. Several cuts instantly appeared on Lin Jianxin’s face, which he had taken pretty good care of.

“Lin Jianxin, you’re really not human! You’re an animal! You don’t deserve to be human.”

Lin Shuyue had conveniently picked up a yard-sweeping broom when she entered the gate of the Public Security Bureau. Now, she timely handed the broom to Lou Fengqin. Seeing Bai Wenhua looking at her, Lin Shuyue even smiled at him.

With a weapon in hand, Lou Fengqin didn’t care what it was and started swinging it at Lin Jianxin.

“My old lady must have had eight generations of bad luck in her previous life to marry a thing like you. Don’t you have a conscience? You never cared about Ah Xing and Ah Yue when they were little. You looked down on them for being daughters, but what about Ah Yang?”

“Ah Yang is your son! Lin Jianxin, all these years, don’t you have nightmares when you sleep at night? Animal, beast!”

The brooms in the Guangyue Province area were made from the old stalks of tumbleweeds. Each stalk was about the size of a child’s little finger. Tied together, they were about the size of a woman’s wrist. They hurt a lot when they hit you. Now that it was summer, Lin Jianxin was wearing a short-sleeved shirt. After Lou Fengqin’s few sweeps, red welts appeared all over his arms, back, and face.

Lou Fengqin cursed as she hit him, and with Lin Jianxin’s miserable screams and the police officers’ perfunctory attempts to dissuade, the entire Public Security Bureau was as lively as a wet market.

Lin Shuyue’s attention, however, was focused on the Zhang family.

Lin Yongyi occasionally looked at Lin Jianxin with a worried expression, and then looked at their family from time to time, her expression angry. When she met Lin Shuxing’s gaze, she would flinch away as if electrocuted.

Zhang Zhenfa sat in his wheelchair, silently watching Lin Jianxin being beaten, as if he were looking at an irrelevant stranger.

As for Zhang Mei, she turned her head away, not looking at anyone, as if there were several flowers on the wall of the Public Security Bureau.

Zhang Zhenfa and Zhang Mei’s situation was clearly wrong, especially Zhang Mei’s. Clearly, in the restaurant, Zhang Mei had said that her mother’s tragic death was related to Lin Jianxin.

So, if we continue to speculate based on this statement, they wouldn’t have this attitude now that Lin Jianxin was in trouble.

It was too calm, too ordinary, as if they were deliberately trying to distance themselves from Lin Jianxin.

Lou Fengqin beat Lin Jianxin for more than ten minutes before the on-duty police officer “finally” persuaded her to stop.

At this time, Lin Jianxin was already in a terrible state, and the clothes on his body had been torn by Lou Fengqin.

Lin Jianxin grimaced in pain, his eyes filled with resentment and venom as he looked at Lou Fengqin. “Police officer, quickly arrest that shrew.”

The police officer looked serious. Normal people hated and despised someone like Lin Jianxin who would give away his own child for wealth and glory. They only felt happy that Lin Jianxin had been beaten. If they weren’t wearing uniforms, they would have applauded the scene of Lou Fengqin violently beating Lin Jianxin just now.

“Alright, we’ll talk about this later. Now, let’s talk about the matter of you trafficking children.”

The police officer’s obvious bias made Lin Jianxin very dissatisfied. “You’re taking sides. I’m going to report you.”

The police officer who had just spoken gave Lin Jianxin a faint glance. “Go ahead. My police number is 83870. Remember it, don’t report the wrong person.” He pointed to his police number on his chest, then continued to ask, “I’m asking you a question. Hurry up, where did you send the child?”

“A friend of mine was sick and couldn’t have children, so I gave the child to them. Police officer, Ah Yang is my son. As a father, I have the right to give him away, right?”

Lin Jianxin’s words revealed his complete ignorance of the law. Lou Fengqin slapped Lin Jianxin on the head.

Lin Jianxin glared at her. “Lou Fengqin, that’s enough. I’m giving you face, aren’t I?” He raised his hand towards Lou Fengqin.

Bai Wenhua pulled Lou Fengqin behind him to protect her.

Lin Jianxin’s attention finally landed on Bai Wenhua. “Who are you?”

“Her fiancé.” Bai Wenhua’s words made Lin Jianxin’s eyes widen.

“What fiancé? When did Lou Fengqin ever have a fiancé!” Lin Jianxin’s words made everyone turn their attention to him.
