Chapter 465: I Want to See Miss Jiang

New doubts were found in the case of He Yuanwei's murder. After the news spread that Yang Manman might not be the murderer, the opposition to the female official was slightly reduced. However, if you want to suppress it completely, you need to wait until everything is clear. Pei Zhaozhi searched the He family again and found nothing wrong. In the end, he could only hope that Yan'er would tell the truth from her. But Yan'er looked like a weak servant, but when she was really interrogated, she was found to be very firm. She insisted that Yang Manman killed someone. Apart from that, she knew nothing. After three consecutive days, the yamen runners in charge of the interrogation found nothing. In the end, they could only ask Pei Zhaozhi if they could use torture. After Pei Zhaozhi went to see Yan'er, he denied the method of torture. "Sir, although she is a little girl, since she has been locked up in the prison, she is a prisoner to be tried. If we don't torture her, we really have no other way." In the prison, the yamen runner spoke with a worried look on his face. At first, they thought that they might be able to get the truth out of her by threatening her, but they didn't expect that the other party looked weak, but when it came to interrogation, it was harder than anyone else to pry her open. Pei Zhaozhi stood outside the cell, looking at the figure curled up by the wall, and shook his head. "I'm afraid she has already made up her mind. Even if she is tortured, nothing can be asked." The yamen runner frowned when he heard this, "Sir, what should we do?" Pei Zhaozhi didn't speak. After thinking for a moment, he signaled the yamen runner to open the cell door and walked in. "Yan'er, this case has come to this point. It is no longer possible to completely put everything on Yang Manman's head. If you continue to hold on like this, you will not be able to get out of this prison. You are only a teenager, and you still have a long time to live. Are you really sure that you want to do this?" Yan'er lowered her head and curled up. When she heard this, she just said nothing. "How dare you! The yamen runner is talking to you!" The yamen runner scolded. Pei Zhaozhi shook his head, stopped the yamen runner, and continued to speak. "Even if you don't say anything, I will never give up. As the Minister of Justice, no matter how long it takes, I will find out the truth." Pei Zhaozhi's tone was too firm, like a sword that vowed to cut through the darkness. Yan'er trembled, and her whole body curled up even more. Just as Pei Zhaozhi turned around and prepared to leave, she finally spoke. "Master Pei, I want to see someone." "Your lady?" Pei Zhaozhi asked. "No." Yan'er looked up at Pei Zhaozhi, "I want to see Miss Jiang Suining."... Jiang Suining was the latest person on duty at the Ministry of Justice. Pei Zhaozhi waited outside the prison and took her to the cell where Yan'er was imprisoned. "I heard that you wanted to see me?" Jiang Suining looked at Yan'er. Yan'er was still leaning against the corner, but she was not curled up so much. She looked up at Jiang Suining and moved her lips, but the next moment her eyes moved to Pei Zhaozhi next to her and lowered her head again. "I just want to talk to Miss Jiang alone." Jiang Suining looked at Pei Zhaozhi, "Master Pei, why don't you go out first." Pei Zhaozhi glanced at Yan'er again, and seeing that the other party was clearly not going to speak unless he left, he nodded at Jiang Suining and left the cell. "You can talk now." Jiang Suining said. Yan'er raised her head again and looked at Jiang Suining quietly, but did not speak immediately, as if she was thinking about where to start. After a while, she asked, "Miss Jiang, how did you find out that I was not actually threatened by you?" "When I found out that you have a younger brother, I sent someone to secretly inquire at the Salesian Hall. I learned that although you often go to the Salesian Hall to see him, you never talk or get close to him. Even when your brother hears people mention you, he will look scared. So I guessed that you probably don't like your brother. In this way, it is naturally highly likely that he will not be threatened by me." "I see." Yan'er nodded, "Yes Indeed, I don’t like him at all. Every time I go to see him, it’s just because I’m unhappy.” Yan’er pursed her lips and asked, “What about that longevity lock?” “The style of the longevity lock is not special. Although it is an old item, it is not difficult to find a similar one and make it look older.” “Indeed, it is just an ordinary longevity lock. However, such an ordinary longevity lock… was exchanged for me.” Yan’er smiled and spoke, with her whole back leaning against the wall, as if she was talking to Jiang Suining, or as if she was talking to herself. "Where should I begin?" "How about starting with my name?" "Miss Jiang, actually my name wasn't Yan'er at first. I heard that before I was born, the doctor misdiagnosed me and told my parents that I was a boy. They were so happy that even though our family was extremely poor, they still spent ten copper coins to ask a fortune teller to pick a name for me in advance. I didn't know what the name that should have belonged to me was. I only heard that after a girl was born, my father was so angry that he wanted to settle the score with the doctor." "Of course, he didn't go in the end. For poor families, even a doctor in a small clinic is someone they can't afford to offend. He had no place to vent his anger, and the more he looked at me, the more disgusted he felt, so he gave me a name. Miss Jiang, can you guess what it is?" Looking at Yan'er's bitter smile, Jiang Suining frowned and said nothing. Yan'er continued, "They named me Misogyny, what a clear name, a hateful daughter, a disgusting daughter." "I remember that since I was very young, I had to help with housework. Even if I worked very hard, I would still be beaten. But for me, being beaten was not the most painful thing. The most painful thing was when my parents shouted my name at the top of their lungs, when I saw the sympathetic or sarcastic eyes of the neighbors, when those girls called Zhu'er and Zhen'er called each other's names loudly, and I always hid far away, for fear that they would call me..." Yan'er laughed as she spoke, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Children are not ignorant. Who would want to be hated by their closest parents from the moment they are born? At that time, I wanted to change my name, but every time I mentioned it, I was beaten and insulted with even more disgust. Until later, when my parents gave birth to a younger brother and he was one year old, I suddenly heard my parents say that they wanted to change my name, otherwise it would sound inappropriate." "Ms. Jiang, you know, I was really happy that day. I thought that I could loudly tell Zhu'er and the others my name in the future, even though after having a younger brother, I had more things to do and had no time to play with them. But as long as I could change my name, I felt that life got better all of a sudden." A light burst out from Yan'er's eyes, as if she had returned to that moment, but in just a moment, the light went out again.
