I saw several people in the post station carrying a wooden board covered with a white cloth, and under the white cloth, I could vaguely make out a human figure.

"what……"

Leng Jiaren and Leng Nianzhi were startled. Chen Yueshu quickly covered her children's eyes and held them in her arms.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay."

She comforted them gently and brought her children into the room.

Leng Yan stared at the white cloth with a frown on his face, but he inexplicably felt that the person under the white cloth was not burned to death, but was killed by the murderer first and then set the fire.

"Stop looking, let's go in."

Seeing that she looked pale, Leng Su and Fu Yin, whose face was equally pale, pulled Leng Yan into Chen Yueshu and their room.

"Sister-in-law..."

Leng Su was still a little girl. She was too scared to go back to her room and subconsciously moved closer to her steady sister-in-law.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, sit down and take a rest."

With several children around her, Chen Yueshu remained calm and composed.

After Chen Yueshu gently comforted them, she left the room and explained some things to Mo Shan and asked about the follow-up handling of the matter.

Now that a murder has occurred, will they be implicated and affect their future plans?

Leng Yan followed quietly behind her aunt, listened to their conversation, and stuck her head out to ask.

"Uncle Mo, you just said that the fight between the horses and camels in the stables triggered the subsequent events. Where are the people in the camel caravan now?"

Chen Yueshu and Mo Shan were both startled by the sudden appearance of Leng Yan. Before they could say anything, Yang Hu's voice came hurriedly from the stairs.

"I found out that the deceased was the second-in-command of the camel caravan. His name was Hu... something nonsense, but he was definitely not from the Central Plains!"

Yang Hu took a breath and continued, "Not only that, I heard that an accountant and a cook took advantage of the chaos in their caravan and escaped. These two people were the only two people from the Central Plains in their caravan, so everyone in the caravan suspected that these two people killed their second in command."

"Doubt, is there any clue or evidence?"

Leng Yan asked first: "And what is the relationship between that accountant and the cook?

Yang Hu scratched his head:

"I heard that they are mother and son. As for evidence, there is no evidence yet. This is what the people in the caravan said. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the people in the caravan are framing them out of xenophobia, so they are speaking the same story."

"Go and ask around."

Chen Yueshu made the final decision, and Mo Shan and the others left, then came back after a while.

It turned out that the deceased was named Hu Lietu, the second in command of the caravan, and the accountant and the cook who escaped were a mother and son who were rescued by people in their caravan that day.

According to the people in the caravan, the mother and son said that they were fleeing and had nowhere to go, so they were framed and robbed by someone with ulterior motives, and then they fainted on the side of the road because they had no money to eat.

They were rescued by a caravan, and the caravan happened to need a local to lead the way. In addition, one of the mother and son could cook, and the other could read and count, which was exactly what they needed. After that, they naturally set off together.

"Even if that's the case, what motive do they have to risk their lives to kill Hu Lietu? Could it be that the people in the caravan have teamed up to frame them?"

Chen Yueshu spoke in deep thought, she really couldn't figure it out.

"I heard from the caravan that one day they heard the second in command and the accountant arguing, so everyone in the caravan unanimously suspected that they were the murderers."

Chen Hu scratched his head. He was a big and strong man. Although he felt it was strange, he could not think so much about it. If they had not just taken the silver to bribe, they might not have been able to find out anything about the quarrel. The people in the caravan kept their mouths shut.

"Oh, Uncle Chen..."

At this time, Leng Yan asked, "Have you found out where these mother and son are from? What are their names? The government may be able to track down their household registration."

As soon as Hu Lietu died, the mother and son ran away. Even if there was no reason, it was indeed suspicious.
