Chapter 206 - Chapter 205: Manpower

Indeed, just as Li Ang had suspected, the final perpetrators of the case were none other than the victim's father-in-law and mother-in-law, who lived with the deceased. The father-in-law, taking advantage of his son's absence for work, had harbored improper intentions toward the deceased and coerced her multiple times. The victim sought help from her mother-in-law, yet the latter, for the sake of "not airing dirty laundry in public," remained complicit, even joining her husband in imprisoning her daughter-in-law. During one instance of humiliation, the victim declared she would tell her husband everything upon his return from work. In a panic, her father-in-law and mother-in-law strangled her to death and attempted to stage the scene as a suicide by hanging to evade responsibility. Throughout this process, the two couldn't bear to look directly at the corpse with its eyes open and even deliberately covered her face with a cloth.
