Chapter 423: Chapter 423 Understanding the Situation_1 Chapter 423: Chapter 423 Understanding the Situation_1 “Heh ehe ehe…” Ying Jiuming scoffed, he was already envisioning how miserable Huo Kewei’s future would be. “I reiterate, it’s best not to let Huo Beijiang know about your meeting with Jiang Nanfei, otherwise… heh heh heh…”
He chuckled twice without elaborating on the consequences, but the implications were pretty clear.
Huo Kewei felt incredibly frustrated. He was just curious about the kind of woman his uncle was marrying! What’s wrong with meeting his aunt in advance?
It’s as if he was doing something shameful.
Is he not even allowed to see her?
“Ying Jiuming, what kind of woman do you think Huo Beijiang’s love interest really is?” To Zuo Xinyao, who Jiang Nanfei is doesn’t matter.
What matters is that she is the one Huo Beijiang likes.
“I’m talking about her character, her capabilities, and such.” He made a judgment at first glance, but he still wanted to hear from Ying Jiuming himself.
“She is calm, smart, clear-headed, and insightful.”
“Isn’t that enough?” Why would a big man like him bother observing a woman for no reason?
As if he has nothing else to do.
Zuo Xinyao looked at Ying Jiuming with pity, finally understanding why he had managed to offend all the women during his college years!
“She’s here!” Huo KeWei whispered.
The three of them stopped talking.
The seating arrangement was just right, with one seat left empty. Nan Fei did not hesitate and took the vacant seat.
“Officer Ying, I want to ask about how Sun Lu’s case is going. When… when is her funeral going to be held?”
After all, she was someone she knew, and she was victimized in Xiao Wang Village. It is now uncertain whether Sun Lu came to Xiao Wang Village to see her or Jiang Minmin.
She wanted to attend Sun Lu’s funeral and bid her a final farewell.
“Liu Yongxia’s testimony is still not ready! We’re still determining whether it was manslaughter or premeditated murder.” Liu Yongxia was hysterical when she was first arrested but now she’s like a declawed cat.
She confessed to everything.
However, there was still one point of suspicion under investigation which, according to the confidentiality regulations, cannot be disclosed yet.
“The funeral? Is it necessary to wait until the case is fully resolved?”
“Yes!” Ying Jiuming nodded, “However, I suspect that Sun Lu’s family won’t hold a funeral for her.”
“What? Why?” Nanfei asked incredulously, “Why won’t they hold a funeral? Is it because they can’t afford it, or because of gender bias?”
In rural areas during the 1990s, it was not like the cities that would come later. Holding funerals and buying grave plots were expensive. In modern villages, cremation has just been adopted. Grave plots are simply chosen in the mountains, or in the ancestral graves of each family.
In plain words, it’s basically a random burial in wasteland.
Considering Sun Lu’s untimely death at such a young age and according to rural funeral customs, there should be no elaborate arrangements. A simple ceremony among family and friends would suffice to allow the deceased peace.
She already knew that Sun Lu’s family did not treat her well, but she never expected it to extend to this extent.
Nan Fei’s facial expression remained unchanged, but she quietly clenched her fist.
Zuo Xinyao’s eyebrow lifted slightly as he glanced at her clenched fist, but his expression remained the same.
“You’re right!” Ying Jiuming said helplessly: “Sun Lu’s family is only thinking about how to extort money, exploiting her death. They didn’t even take a look at the deceased.”
Every time he thought about how disgusted Sun Lu’s family was when they had to identify the body, he would feel angry.
