Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 186 Trap
Just now, after Chaolu carried Xiao Yun out of the rouge shop, she ran all the way to the horse racing track. She found Xiao Wang and others in the audience seats.

When Xiao Wang saw Chao Lu suddenly appear holding the unconscious Xiao Yun, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

Chaolu ran with sweat all over her forehead and told them what had just happened in the rouge shop.

Knowing that Yan Ciwan was in danger, how could Xiao Wang just sit there?
Xiao Wang handed Xiao Yun over to Li Chengge and Cha Bingliang, and asked them to quickly take Xiao Yun and Xiao Ting back to Yunkelai. Then Xiao Wang, Chaolu, Du Lingzhou and Huai Yan rushed to the rouge shop together.

When they arrived near the shop, they saw a team of constables gathered at the door.

The leading detective, Captain Mi, said that someone had reported the case and suspected that there were human traffickers hiding in the store.

Upon hearing this, Chaolu immediately spoke up: "The shopkeeper of this store is indeed not a good person. She just wanted to kidnap me and my friend. I was lucky enough to escape, but my friend is still in the store."

When Captain Mi heard this, he was afraid that the human traffickers would escape, so he immediately ordered his men to break down the door.

Recently, people have frequently disappeared in Yizhou, and the matter has caused a lot of uproar. The governor of Yizhou ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, but the case has made no progress. Officials in the government office blamed each other, and finally all the pressure was put on the lowest-level detectives.

Captain Mi has been unable to sleep or eat recently because of the issue of tracking down human traffickers, and he has looked much older.

Now that he finally got some clues, he must not let it go.

The door of the rouge shop was closed, and there was a sign outside saying "Closed".

The detectives began to bang on the door, and Xiao Wang and others stood by and watched anxiously.

Inside the rouge shop, Yan Ciwan heard the noise outside and hurried back to the store in front, only to find that everyone in the store was gone, leaving only the corpse of the shopkeeper lying on the ground.

Yan Ciwan looked around. There should be ten people in total, including the female guests and two female waiters. How could they all disappear in such a short time?

She suspected that there was an unknown secret passage or secret room in the store.

Outside the door, the soldiers saw that no one had opened it for a long time, so they broke it down violently.

They banged hard together and broke the door of the store open!
The noise here was so loud that not only did passers-by stop to watch, but even residents of nearby shops came out to watch the fun.

When the shop door was pushed open, everyone saw the shopkeeper's wife lying on the ground with a blue face, and Yan Ciwan standing beside her with a knife in her hand.

Yan Ciwan's heart tightened and he had a bad feeling.

Soon this premonition became reality.

There were constant screams from the crowd.

"Oh my god, murder!"

"Look, that woman is holding a knife. She must be the murderer!"

"Killing people in broad daylight is simply a disregard for the law. Arrest her now!"

……

Xiao Wang strode into the rouge shop, followed closely by Chao Lu. They ran to Yan Ci Wan, looked her up and down, and only felt relieved after making sure that she was not injured.

Yan Ciwan's palm was sweating slightly as he held Ning Dao, but it was too late to put the knife away.

She said sternly, "I didn't kill anyone. I didn't kill the shopkeeper."

Xiao Wang said without hesitation: "I believe you."

Chaolu also said: "I believe you too!"

But the detectives and the onlookers outside did not believe Yan Ciwan.

Captain Mi first checked the body to make sure the shopkeeper's wife was indeed dead, then looked at Yan Ciwan with a very stern expression: "Hand over your knife."

Yan Ciwan pursed her lips. Although she was very unhappy, she did not lose her composure. She handed over the Ning knife and said, "The shopkeeper died of poison after being stabbed by the poison needle, not by my knife."

Captain Mi ordered his men to bring a piece of cloth to wrap the Ning Dao, intending to take it back for inspection as an important piece of evidence.

He said in a deep voice: "Once the body is brought back to the government office and examined by the coroner, we will naturally know the real cause of her death. Before that, please come back with us to the government office to cooperate with the investigation."

Chaolu was extremely anxious, she spoke out to stop him: "Aci won't kill anyone!"

Captain Mi said coldly: "If she didn't kill anyone, why did she have a knife in her hand? Why is there still blood on the blade?"

Chaolu argued, "The shopkeeper's wife is not a good person. She wanted to kidnap Aci. Aci might have had to draw his knife out of self-defense."

"Then she could have accidentally killed someone in self-defense!"

Chaolu was speechless for a moment.

Xiao Wang said: "But you also don't have any evidence to prove that Ah Ci must have killed someone."

Captain Mi did not deny this, but said: "Whether she killed the person or not, she is involved in the death of the shopkeeper's wife. She must cooperate with us to find out the truth."

Yan Ciwan quickly went over the matter in his mind and realized that he must have fallen into a trap set by someone.

In fact, she had experienced the same thing once in Xiangzhou City.

That time, when she was framed, she chose to resist arrest and escape.

Because she was alone at that time and no one could help her, if she was caught and thrown into jail she would have no choice but to wait for death.

But it’s different now, she has a group of trustworthy friends around her.

Yan Ciwan said, "Besides the shopkeeper's wife, there were about ten other people in the shop, but they are all gone now. I don't know where they went."

Captain Mi ordered his detectives to search the store thoroughly, but no one else was found.

"There is no one else alive in this store except you. Are you making this up to clear yourself of suspicion?"

Chaolu hurriedly testified for her friend: "When Ah Ci and I entered the store just now, there were indeed a lot of people. Ah Ci didn't lie!"

Captain Mi spread his hands and said, "Where are they? The back door and the front door were all locked from the inside. They couldn't have gotten out, unless they had an accomplice who stayed in the store and locked the front and back doors from the inside after they escaped."

Having said this, he looked at Yan Ciwan again, his eyes full of suspicion.

Yan Ciwan was the only living person in the store at that time, so she was naturally the most suspicious.

Chaolu didn't expect that her testimony would only increase Captain Mi's suspicion of Ning Ci. She was so anxious that she almost cried.

Yan Ciwan held her hand and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, it's okay."

Chaolu felt something hard being stuffed into her hand and immediately looked into the other person's eyes.

Yan Ciwan smiled at her and said, "The innocent are innocent. I am not afraid of being investigated. Once they find out the truth, they will naturally clear my name. Then you and I will go to the A Shun bathhouse to take a bath and get rid of the bad luck."

Captain Mi urged, "Let's go quickly."

Yan Ciwan let go of Chaolu's hand, and then deliberately looked at Xiao Wang before leaving with the detectives.

The body of the shopkeeper's wife was also carried away by the police.

As the store door was broken and could not be closed, in order to prevent outsiders from sneaking into the store and destroying the crime scene, Captain Mi specially left a constable to guard the scene before leaving.
