The Beautiful Stepmother from the Eighties: Marrying a Factory Director to Raise Kids

Chapter 415

This house had already been sealed off; no one lived there anymore.Around here, only houses where murders had occurred would have this kind of seal pasted on them.

Wang Ergou covered his face and howled.

Si Nian coughed awkwardly.

"Are you alright?"

Wang Ergou looked to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight, which meant that before he went to prison, he was just seventeen or eighteen years old.

He was short and skinny, like a monkey.

His hair was very long, covering his eyes.

He had the look of a future gamer geek.

Chen Haoran used a loud voice to cover up his guilty conscience. "Sis, even though he didn't climb our wall, climbing someone else's wall is still wrong."

Si Nian was also puzzled. She looked at the sickly-looking Wang Ergou. "Your name is Wang Ergou, right?"

Wang Ergou snapped back to reality and finally noticed Si Nian. He was startled, not expecting it to be her again.

Ever since this family moved here, he had been very unlucky. Not only was he caught every time he climbed the wall, but he also got injured every single time.

Is it really this hard to climb a wall nowadays?

However, meeting Si Nian's bright and beautiful face, he actually blushed shamefully and stammered, "How, how do you know my name?"

Si Nian said, "It was written on the apology letter you wrote before."

Wang Ergou's face instantly turned even redder.

"I... I really didn't mean to climb your wall. I just haven't been back for a long time and went the wrong way."

"What do you mean? How could you climb the wrong wall? Where were you originally planning to go?" Si Nian asked in return.

Wang Ergou's eyes flickered. "Anyway, it wasn't your house. I... I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, he carefully looked left and right, preparing to leave.

As a result, he was grabbed by the tall and burly Chen Haoran. "Hey, wait a minute. My sister is asking you a question, and you just try to walk away? Do you have any manners?"

Si Nian looked at him using his size to bully others and felt a bit helpless, but she had to admit that this kind of behavior was often more intimidating.

Wang Erge turned pale with fright.

"This family's house is sealed off, and you still climbed in. Could there be gold inside or something?"

"Hey, don't tell me this is the house that was haunted ten years ago!" Chen Haoran was startled by his own guess and immediately distanced himself from the haunted house.

Si Nian broke a sweat, looked at the pale-faced Wang Ergou, and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that the hostess of this house was accidentally killed by you?"

Wang Ergou waved his hands in a panic. "It wasn't me, it wasn't me at all! She was already dead when I went in. It has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

Si Nian and Chen Haoran exchanged a glance. "If not you, then who?"

Wang Erge said angrily, "If I knew, would I have gone to prison? That's what I'm investigating right now. I definitely have to catch that damn murderer! I need to clear my name."

"If you're investigating, why did you climb my wall?"

Wang Ergou said, "I climbed the wrong one. I originally wanted to go to Song Zhaodi's house. I heard her husband also went missing."

"I suspect her husband killed someone, so he ran away and made me take the blame."

Si Nian frowned. "You suspect it's Song Zhaodi's husband?"

"That's right, it must be him!" Wang Ergou said. "At the time, I was drinking with a few buddies. We passed by the widow's door at night and heard the sound of a man and a woman doing... that thing. I just wanted to get a few friends to come watch a good show, but my friends were all drunk, so I went to look by myself. But when I climbed in, the person was already lying on the ground, dead."

"I definitely didn't hear wrong. They all said I was drunk and lying, but I know it was definitely her man who killed her."

Hearing him say this, Si Nian's eyes wandered a bit. She frowned. "How can you be so sure?"

"Because... because..."

Chen Haoran asked suspiciously, "Do you often eavesdrop on this kind of thing?"

Wang Ergou's face instantly flushed red.

Chen Haoran had an 'I knew it' expression.

Si Nian's mouth twitched.

Even the dogs passing by at night could hear it, let alone people. Over time, I can clearly distinguish whose man it is, so I definitely didn't hear wrong."

Si Nian nodded. "I think I know why you were framed."

The two of them immediately looked at her.

Wang Ergou was even more excited. "You believe me?"

Si Nian said, "Looking at your wall-climbing skills, I can tell you don't look like someone who would dare to kill."

Wang Ergou: "..." As a thief, was it really okay to insult him like this?

However, seeing that someone actually believed him right away, Wang Ergou was still very touched and actually started crying.

Si Nian and Chen Haoran were startled.

"What are you crying for?"

Wang Ergou wiped his tears. "Wuwuwu, it's been so many years, and no one believed me. Only you are willing to believe me, wuwuwu... You're too kind... wuwuwu..."

Si Nian: "..."

Chen Haoran looked disgusted. "Men don't shed tears lightly. Can you not be so embarrassing? But then again, if it really wasn't you, then who was it? Damn, if that's the case, the real murderer is still on the run?"

Si Nian glanced at him. "Didn't you say before that it wasn't him?"

Chen Haoran said, "I just listened to it as a story. How could I have thought it was true?"

"But Sis, how can you be sure this kid didn't do it? I think he looks dishonest."

Si Nian said, "It's a guess. When he passed by the murder scene and saw the body, he must have screamed in fear. This sound was noticed by the murderer. At that time, the murderer hadn't had time to dispose of the body yet, and didn't know when Wang Ergou had shown up. The killer probably suspected he had been seen, but in reality, Wang Ergou didn't see anything. So, the killer found an opportunity to firmly pin it on Wang Ergou. Without having to lift a finger, he sent Wang Ergou to prison."

"So..." Si Nian glanced at the stunned Wang Ergou and said, "Now that you're out of prison, the one in danger isn't the murderer, but you."

Wang Ergou's face turned pale.
