Dressed as the villain's stepmother

The boy smiled and replied, but he didn't take what Wang Chungui said just to heart.

It's just some polite words, that is, they sound particularly nice when they are spoken, but when there is really something to do, nothing can be done.

the other side.

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan thought for a long time in the side room, but still couldn't come up with a result.

"I'm afraid our trip will be in vain. We can't get any information out of Wang Chungui. We don't have any tangible evidence in our hands, and we can't put him in jail to extract a confession."

Jiang Lianzhu spread her hands helplessly.

The current situation seemed to be in a deadlock, but she and Liao Yunchuan could not find a way to break it even if they joined hands.

"There is really no clue at the moment. The Prime Minister must have been planning for a long time, so he can design everything to be foolproof."

Liao Yunchuan also nodded unequivocally. Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't say much.

"Tomorrow, we will go to Luoshui Town to take a look. If we still can't find anything, let's go back to the capital first."

"it is good."

Jiang Lianzhu nodded in response.

Waiting here all the time is not an option. Now the only appropriate option is to return to Beijing temporarily and think about it in the long run and think about other countermeasures.

the next day.

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan went to Luoshui Town when the sky was getting brighter.

The people in the town lowered their heads as they walked, talking vaguely about what they were discussing, as if they were possessed by evil spirits in broad daylight.

Seeing their strange state, Jiang Lianzhu simply stopped the woman beside her: "What happened in this town? Why is it so lifeless?"

The mother-in-law recognized Jiang Lianzhu, and after being silent for a long time, she spoke as if she was still frightened.

"Miss Jiang was not in town last night, so of course she doesn't know anything about this matter...Uncle Agui, who always liked to run into the mountains before, was stabbed to death by someone at home last night. , except for a piece of cloth tightly clutched in his hand, no other evidence could be found."

The mother-in-law said in a low voice. Deep down in her heart, she felt that this matter was really bad luck and she didn't dare to talk too much about it.

"In short, people in the village are now spreading rumors that Uncle Agui was obsessed with cooperating with those outsiders before, and now that the things they wanted to do have been taken care of, so they solved it for them... …”

After she said the last word, she immediately closed her mouth, shook her head violently, and made a silencing gesture to the two of them.

"Don't talk about this matter everywhere in the village. Everyone is very sensitive now."

"Okay, I'm just here to inquire about the situation...I won't talk nonsense in the village."

Jiang Lianzhu nodded in agreement.

After sending the mother-in-law away, the two went to Uncle Agui's house according to their memories.

There was only one Agui's wife in his house, who was talking non-stop while packing up Uncle Agui's belongings.

She had almost packed her things. When she looked up, she saw Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan standing in front of her. The things she had packed in her hands immediately fell to the ground.

"You, what are you two doing in my house now? Agui said he left last night... Even if you want to ask about something, you can't find out!"

"I heard that Uncle Agui had a piece of cloth in his hand when he left. Can you give us that piece of cloth?"

Jiang Lianzhu didn't pay attention to what Agui's wife said, but directly reached out and asked her for a piece of cloth.

Agui's wife sat on the ground and doubted the letter for a moment, and then took out the piece of cloth and gave it to her.

"That's it. I planned to take it away and burn it directly, so as not to put it at home and add bad luck... But if you two want it, then I'll get it for you two. Qianwan Don’t bring it back to me again!”

As she spoke, she put away the things on the floor, her words filled with disgust.

"Okay, also, do you know how Uncle Agui got there last night?"

"What, how could I know about this? I just heard from the people who came to the door that someone should have stabbed a knife into his heart. As for the rest, I really don't know."

Agui's wife told them everything she knew. After saying this, she turned around and left, not intending to say anything else to them.

Jiang Lianzhu wrote down all the words she just said, and then looked down at the piece of cloth in her hand.

The material seems to be made in Central China, and you may be able to find similar ones in several cloth shops in the capital.

"Now that we have this piece of cloth, it will be easier to handle. When I take it back and give Chen Tianqi a quick look, I should be able to identify which family ordered this piece of cloth and what it is used for."

Jiang Lianzhu said thoughtfully, stuffing the piece of fabric in her hand into her sleeve.

This thing has become valuable now, and she absolutely cannot lose this piece of fabric.

"Okay, let's wait until we get back to the capital." Liao Yunchuan nodded.

The two of them did not stay in Luoshui Town any longer and rented a carriage to return to the county town.

Just as the carriage stopped in front of the medical center, Zhao Ruyue hurriedly ran out of it, with a bit of undecided panic on her face.

"Shopkeeper Jiang, the shop that Cao Li said he wanted to give us has just been burned down. The group of people from Six Doors has gone to investigate. According to what the passersby said... the shop that was burned down just now. The person should be Cao Li himself."

Zhao Ruyue finished speaking breathlessly.

She also saw the smoke rising outside just now. She thought that some family didn't pay much attention to it, but she didn't expect that this matter actually happened to them.

Now the shop has been completely burned down, and Cao Liren has escaped to nowhere. Even if he wants to make trouble, he can't find him!

"Why?" Jiang Lianzhu frowned slightly, not understanding the situation for a while.

"I don't know the reason, but it should be because this shop was given to someone else, so Cao Li has some resentment in his heart."

Zhao Ruyue could only tell what she had heard from hearsay.

"That's all. It doesn't matter if this shop disappears. After all, it's not my property."

Jiang Lianzhu shrugged slightly, not caring much about this matter.

But what she didn't expect was that Cao Li seemed to be short-sighted, but in fact he was so good at planning.
