Using Fangzheng's Time Reversal ability, they finally figured out what happened on the day of the crime.
That day, the Bloody Baron was drunk and had a big fight with his wife, Anna. His wife said she wanted to leave, but the Bloody Baron did not agree, so the two started fighting. His wife picked up a candlestick and knocked the Baron out. She then ran away with her daughter in tears ….
"I didn't expect him to be this kind of man!"
Liz was furious when she saw this. Their first impression of the Bloody Baron was quite good. After all, he was a forthright and passionate man. They did not expect him to hit his wife so hard.
"Well, the situation is clear now."
Fangzheng did not participate in it. Family disputes and problems between men and women were not things that should be taken care of.
"So this is a couple quarreling and fighting, and then …. Hmm …."
According to the Chinese custom, the wife would have packed up and returned to her parents' home. Sheyan did not know if there was such a custom in this place.
In fact, Fangzheng did not find this strange. Domestic violence would still be a chronic problem in society even after a few hundred years. Besides, he had long discovered that the Bloody Baron was also an alcoholic. Alcoholics were more likely to commit domestic violence. Fangzheng had this question in his heart, and now he had verified his guess. Besides, the status of men and women in this era was also a problem. As Hiri had said before, there were only two kinds of women in this era who had shoulder-length hair: prostitutes and sorceresses. Other women didn't do so. Commoners either wrapped their heads up or braided their hair. For nobles, they would wear a hat or something.
From this point of view, the status of women in this era was also very low. Beating their wives was naturally not a big deal for men in this era.
In fact, men even thought that beating their wives was like taming a horse; they needed to be beaten frequently to make them obedient. People even thought that it was a natural principle. In modern times, who wouldn't think that they were crazy when they heard this? But even the woman who was beaten herself agreed with this principle!
This was the difference between the two eras.
But for Liz and Miao Jie, this was obviously not the case. They obviously did not like this scene.
"What do we do now? Are we really going to get his wife and child back? "
Liz was obviously reluctant. She did not know before, but now that she knew that the Bloody Baron had beaten his wife, she would naturally stand on the side of the wife who was beaten.
"We don't need to do that."
Compared to the furious Liz, Miao Jie was still smiling.
"We only promised to help the baron 'find' his wife and daughter, but we didn't promise to help him bring them back. I think Mr. Baron only needs to know that his wife and daughter are safe, and the rest is his own business, right? Mr. Fangzheng? "
"That's it."
Fangzheng looked at Miao Jie and nodded. At the same time, he sighed inwardly. Indeed, this young lady of a noble family was black-hearted. On the surface, she looked flawless, but on the inside, she was clearly very displeased. However, she was not as direct as Rize. Indeed, Ciri had agreed to help the Bloody Baron find his wife and daughter, but whether it was' finding 'or' retrieving 'was a completely different matter!
Now that Miao Jie insisted on 'find', it meant that they would not go back on their words. They would definitely help you find them, but after finding them, they would not bring them back. You had to think of a way to solve this problem yourself.
Tsk tsk tsk, this noble lady was indeed watertight. No wonder she was born into a noble family.
Of course, there were some things that Fangzheng did not tell them.
Soon, Ciri came back from her investigation, but she said that she did not have any clues. It was a heavy storm that night, and by late at night, almost all the guards had gone back to hide from the rain. Therefore, no one knew what happened. The next day, when the Baron's wife and child disappeared, he was even more furious. The others were so scared that they did not dare to say anything.
After all, the nickname of the Bloody Baron did not come out of nowhere. His subordinates also knew that he was hot-tempered and would whip people whenever he was angry. Previously, when his wife and child ran away, he naturally asked the guards at the door. Because they could not answer him properly, he also gave them a good beating.
"I did not find any clues on my side. Where is Mr. Fangzheng?"
"It's about time. Let's go. I still have something to ask."
With Fangzheng's ability, he could completely solve the problem from the beginning to the end. After all, he only needed to look at the past and directly follow it to find the person. However, this time, Fangzheng did not come here to complete a mission. The reason why he assigned two students to follow him was also part of the 'off-campus internship'. Therefore, he did not say much and only nodded. Then, he led the three down the stairs and met the Baron again.
"Yo, Ciri, how is it? Did you find any clues? "
Asked the Bloody Baron hurriedly when he saw the four of them return. Ciri smiled awkwardly, but before she could speak, Fangzheng asked directly.
"Where's the child? Where did you hide the child? "
"The child?"
The Bloody Baron was stunned when he heard Fangzheng's question.
"Didn't I say that she ran away with the child?"
"I'm not talking about the child."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"I'm talking about the second child she gave birth to."
"… Huh?!"
The three girls were stunned when they heard Fangzheng's words. The Bloody Baron also froze on the spot as if he was struck by lightning. He stared at Fangzheng with his eyes wide open.
"You, you … How did you know …?"
"God is watching. There's a saying in my hometown that if you don't want others to know, don't do it. So … Mr. Baron, let's get to the bottom of this. What's going on?"
"… …."
"We know that you know very well why they left that night. You got drunk and had a fight with your wife. She knocked you out and ran away crying …. Am I right?"
"Sigh … I didn't expect you to find out so much."
The Bloody Baron sighed and sat down after hearing Fangzheng's words.
"Yes, I know, but … what should I say? Because I hit my wife, she ran away? How am I supposed to show my face if this gets out? "
"What's with that child?"
Asked Ciri curiously. After all, she did not know what Fangzheng saw. The Bloody Baron hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he confessed.
According to the Bloody Baron, it happened not long ago. At that time, he said that he did not know what happened either. He was drunk and had no memory. But when he woke up and stumbled back to his room, he found his wife unconscious by the window, and under her was a dead baby!
She was pregnant!!
The faces of the three girls turned pale when they heard this. Liz hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then ….
"That … that child, is it dead?"
"It's dead. I don't know what happened either. My mind was blank at the time."
The Bloody Baron held his head in pain, his face full of regret.
"I, I saw the bloody bedsheet, there was no breath on it, so, so I wrapped it in a bedsheet and secretly buried it …"
"How, how could you do such a thing!?"
Miao Jie was still fine, but Liz was an upright believer. She could not help but stand up and scold the Bloody Baron.
"Your wife was pregnant, but not only did you not take care of her, you even drank too much, beat and scolded your wife, and even miscarried the child in her belly. How could you bear to do that?!"
"I, I didn't want to do that! But I'm not the only one to blame! "
The Bloody Baron jumped up and defended himself loudly. Then, he explained the whole story to the crowd.
It turned out that when the Bloody Baron and his wife first met, they were quite harmonious and friendly. At that time, the Bloody Baron was a wounded soldier, and his wife was responsible for taking care of him. The two of them got along well, got married, and gave birth to a daughter. Logically speaking, they could be considered a happy family.
But unfortunately, this was only the beginning of a beautiful story.
The Bloody Baron was a soldier, so he naturally led his troops to war all over the place. Inevitably, he neglected his wife at home. One day, when he came back, he was surprised to find that his wife had fallen in love with a childhood sweetheart of hers, and they had been together for several years!!
"Ugh …."
Fangzheng looked a little embarrassed when he heard this. After all, he had done this kind of thing many times in the Search for Qin Ji world …. But fortunately, he only did it to relieve some of the depression in the hearts of lonely young women, not to the extent of ruining someone's marriage.
A man would naturally not tolerate being cuckolded, not to mention that he was leading his troops through fire and water while his wife was at home with another man. Who could stand that? The Bloody Baron also had a bad temper, so he immediately gave his wife a good beating. Then, his wife cried and ran away from home, bringing their child to the man's house!
Later, the Bloody Baron went to the man's house. He originally wanted to bring his wife home, but his wife refused to go back. She even said that she wanted to be with her childhood sweetheart instead of living with him. The Bloody Baron was enraged and had the guts to beat the man to death.
When his wife saw this scene, she went crazy and wanted to beat the Bloody Baron. She even wanted to kill him. After that, the relationship between the couple became estranged. His wife taunted him with all kinds of harsh words every day. When the Bloody Baron was in a bad mood, he would drink to drown his sorrows, then beat his wife. That was how things turned out ….
"…."
After listening to the Bloody Baron's story, the girls had complicated expressions on their faces. They did not know what to say for a while. Fangzheng, on the other hand, had no reaction at all. This was the so-called 'even an upright official can't resolve a family dispute'. Even Zhong Kui would not be able to do anything, let alone Justice Bao.
Don't you think the Baron's wife is pitiful? Of course she was pitiful. She was abused by her drunken husband all day long and even had a miscarriage. If this happened in modern times, she would definitely be in the headlines of society and the law.
But was the Bloody Baron not pitiful? He was a man who risked his life every day, only to come home to find that his wife had cuckolded him. If that was the case, it was hard to say whether his wife's first child was his.
In modern society, how many men would be able to endure this?
When the Bloody Baron finished his story, the atmosphere in the room became heavy. Rize looked at Miao Jie, not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, Hiri soon broke the awkward atmosphere.
"You said you buried the child with a bedsheet? Did you give it a name? Did you bury it? "
"That's impossible."
The Bloody Baron shook his head.
"I was scared out of my wits, so I found a bedsheet, dug a hole, and buried it. As for the name …. Sigh, how could I think that much?"
"Not good!"
Ciri instantly stood up with a nervous expression.
"The child might have become a corpse baby!"
