Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

She shook her head. "No, what happened? Who is so cruel as to kill five people?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly. "If I knew, wouldn't the case be solved? The five men all had extremely deep wounds, and they were stabbed multiple times. Logically, one stab should have killed them, but the murderer stabbed them multiple times. The scene was horrific!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and pondered, "From this point of view, the murderer must have a deep grudge against them, otherwise, he wouldn't stab them like this!"

Lin Ran nodded. "That's what I thought, too. But I asked the surviving woman, and she said her family had no grudges against anyone outside. They were all honest craftsmen. Oh, and they even opened a lantern-making shop!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but wonder, since there was no enemy, how could the whole family be almost wiped out?

How strange!

Lin Ran said worriedly, "Because this case happened on a street lined with shops, the people were in a panic and it even alarmed the emperor. He issued an oral order to the Dali Temple to solve the case as soon as possible. I really can't find any clues, so I can only ask you to go and treat the woman and see if she is really too ill to get out of bed."

Lin Yiwan asked in confusion, "Uncle suspects her?"

Lin Ran nodded. "Yes, the coroner determined that the five people died in the middle of the night, when they were fast asleep. However, the woman was conscious due to her illness. She said she heard some noise in the next room, but she couldn't get up to check!"

Lin Yiwan was lost in thought when the driver's voice rang out from outside: "Sir, the Marquis's wife has arrived!"

The two men got off the carriage and stepped into a small courtyard that looked very desolate.

Lin Ran introduced: "This is the backyard. In the front is the shop. There are some unfinished lanterns stored there. It's quite messy, so I won't take you there to check it out!"

Before Lin Yiwan could say anything, a small black thing pounced on her. She subconsciously squatted down and caught it with both hands.

The little thing obviously didn't expect Lin Yiwan to catch her, and she was so flustered that she kept twisting her body.

Lin Ran quickly introduced: "Her name is Hu Niu, the daughter of the woman lying on the sickbed!"

Lin Yiwan's heart suddenly became complicated. They were both children, but little Miaomiao was so delicate and wore soft clothes. Even though her hair was not very long yet, she wore a beautiful hair ornament every day.

The skin is so white and glowing, not to mention how beautiful it is.

But the little girl in front of me had her hair tangled up in a mess, not to mention the dirt on her face.

It looks like a small piece of charcoal dug out from the soil!

At this time, a maid ran out and said, "Hu Niu, come here quickly, don't offend the noble!"

Lin Ran introduced: "This is the maid I temporarily arranged to take care of Hu Niu. Her mother is very ill and can't take care of herself at all!"

The old woman explained helplessly, "Sir, Hu Niu is used to being wild. I actually clean her up every day, but she just loves to burrow in the dirt and climb trees. I can't catch her, so she's still so dirty!"

Lin Ran nodded: "I don't blame you. How is her mother? Is she awake now?"

The old woman nodded hurriedly: "She's awake. I just gave her some medicine. She's a little more energetic. You can go in now and ask her some questions!"

Lin Ran took Lin Yiwan into the house, and the strong smell of bitter medicine filled their noses.

Lin Yiwan quickly figured out that the soup she drank was a medicine for treating cough, which meant that the woman must have contracted lung disease.

Sure enough, after a while, she heard the woman coughing violently.

Lin Ran quickly walked to the worn tea table, poured a cup of warm water, held it in his hand, and handed it directly to the woman lying on the bed.

The woman said with gratitude: "Thank you, Master Xiaolin, for your trouble!"

Lin Ran said in a gentle voice: "You're welcome. I brought my niece here this time. She is an excellent doctor. Please ask her to take a look at you!"

The woman's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Lin Yiwan with curiosity.

Lin Yiwan spoke first: "Can I take your pulse first?"

The woman was stunned for a moment before she nodded hurriedly: "Of course, as long as my wife doesn't mind!"

Seeing her slender wrist rubbing against the quilt a few times, Lin Yiwan couldn't help but soften her tone: "It's okay, don't be nervous!"

The woman then handed her her wrist and waited carefully with bated breath.

After about a cup of tea, Lin Yiwan spoke solemnly, "It's a serious lung disease. He's been waiting too long, so he's so weak!"

Perhaps the woman had been holding her breath while taking her pulse, and now when she heard her speak, she suddenly relaxed and started coughing violently again.

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed until her cheeks turned red.

It took her a long time to stop.

Without even glancing at the blood-stained handkerchief, she spoke in a hoarse voice, "I don't have many days left to live. The doctor said so!"

Lin Yiwan didn't deny it. She turned around and looked around, and felt that the house was extremely simple.

Moreover, this doesn't look like a room at all. It looks more like a woodshed, right?

She turned to look at Lin Ran and asked doubtfully, "Uncle, are all the dead in the next room?"

Lin Ran said, "It's not really next door. Come with me and take a look!"

He took her out of the room and saw several very spacious houses built at the other end of the corridor.

Lin Yiwan immediately understood that the woman was probably infected with a disease and was disliked by the family, so they drove her and her daughter here.

Lin Ran lowered his voice and asked, "Wanwan, are you sure her illness is very serious? She shouldn't be able to kill anyone, right?"

Lin Yiwan thought of the woman's weak pulse and almost sneered, "She doesn't even have the strength to drink medicine now, how can she kill someone again?"

She paused, frowned, and said, "Uncle, what is the relationship between the deceased and her? Please explain it to me in detail!"

Lin Ran introduced: "My parents-in-law, my husband's two brothers, and a sister-in-law!"

Lin Yiwan widened her eyes in surprise. My goodness, her husband's family died completely, not a single one was missing.

Lin Ran sighed helplessly, "I've visited the surrounding businesses, and none of them have any dealings with this family, let alone any conflicts. So it's really hard to find the murderer!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "The breakthrough still lies with the woman. I'll go talk to her!"

She returned to the woman's room and found her drowsy.

She took the brocade cloth and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, which immediately woke her up.

Her eyes first flashed with a beast-like light, but when she saw clearly that it was Lin Yiwan, all the strength in her body instantly weakened, and she became very weak again: "It turned out to be Madam!"
