Chapter 1422: Does It Matter? We’ll Know After the Interrogation
Chu Ping clasped his fists and said, "Marquis, the man has been brought."
Feng Fuce said nothing, simply sipped his tea, casting a sharp, ice-cold gaze at Lu Da.
Upon hearing the word Marquis, Lu Da turned as pale as a ghost.
"Marquis, this commoner hasn’t done anything wrong!"
Chu Ping chuckled, "If you haven’t done anything wrong, why did you run when you saw us? Jumping through the window faster than a rabbit."
"If you have a clear conscience, you wouldn’t be afraid of casting a shadow. Running as soon as you see us, isn’t that a guilty conscience?"
"The Marquis is here, so confess honestly, or you can kiss that little life of yours goodbye."
Lu Da immediately cried out to the heavens, pleading for mercy.
His voice was so loud that Bai Zhi’er felt her head buzzing.
Feng Fuce coldly said, "You were brought here to be interrogated. If you are innocent, just speak honestly."
"If you continue to howl like this, there’s no need for interrogation; just club you as a criminal and drag you off for execution."
At these words, Lu Da obediently kowtowed, "No! No! Marquis, please ask your questions, this commoner will tell all!"
Chu Ping asked, "When was the last time you saw your daughter?"
Lu Da’s eyes darted around.
Chu Ping kicked him on the buttocks, "I’m asking you a question, what are you mulling over?"
Lu Da yelped in pain, embarrassedly said, "The last time I saw her was... the night before last."
"I was ill, she gave me some money, but it wasn’t enough for medicine, so I went to her for more."
"That daughter of mine is fierce and unreasonable, asking her for money is like asking for her life. Not only did she curse at me, but she also slapped me across the face. Marquis, look, my right cheek is still a bit swollen."
"That bitch, just like her mother, strikes viciously!"
Bai Zhi’er crossed her arms and coldly said, "Serves you right!"
Not fulfilling your duty as a father, yet shamelessly going to your poor daughter for money.
Lv Xinniang giving him money was already more than generous.
Lu Da felt wronged, venting his grievances.
"Even after she redeemed herself from the brothel, I still went to see her. I didn’t even mind her being sullied and still acknowledged her as my daughter. What right does she have to hate me?"
Hearing these words, Bai Zhi’er pressed her eyebrows.
Feng Fuce immediately turned his head, asking in a low voice, "Tired?"
Bai Zhi’er shook her head, softly replying, "No, his words are unpleasant to hear. I’m just enduring it, otherwise, I’d really want to kick him out."
"Brother Fu Ce, I don’t think he can provide any useful information, let’s change the direction of the interrogation."
"This Lu Da may look despicable, but he doesn’t have the blood-red aura on his body or hands, proving he hasn’t killed anyone."
Feng Fuce nodded slightly.
He looked at Lu Da, and Lu Da was still explaining how he had to sell Lv Xinniang back in the day under such difficult circumstances.
"Moreover, I haven’t asked her for money that many times. After my son got married, he often went to her for money. I even spoke up for her against my son a few times!"
"I may not have been a competent father, but..."
At this, Bai Zhi’er suddenly opened her bright eyes wide.
She interrupted and asked, "What did you say?"
Lu Da was taken aback, "I said I may not be a competent father..."
"The sentence before that!"
"Uh... my son also went to her for money..."
Bai Zhi’er immediately looked at Feng Fuce, who already understood.
"Chu Ping, go bring his son in for interrogation."
Upon hearing this, Lu Da panicked, "Marquis, my son has absolutely nothing to do with her death."
Fang Youzhen said coldly, "We’ll only know if there’s a connection after the interrogation."
