The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

As the saying goes, even a thief is guilty, let alone such a heinous act as robbery and murder. The Zhang brothers have been living a peaceful life in Mingshan Village for more than ten years.

It's indeed a bit strange.

"Unless, the eldest and third brother have no idea what the second brother did behind his back!"

Zhao Xuan had a preconceived notion that the three Zhang brothers were all suspects of the Flame Organization. However, after Huang Shuo's reminder, she thought of another possibility.

"But the second brother clearly committed suicide by taking poison, so why did he get eaten by a blind bear? Did the eldest and third brother lie to cover up the truth? Even if they weren't accomplices, they knew about it and kept it a secret, protecting the second brother."

Zhao Xuan continued.

"Could it be that after committing suicide by taking poison, he was really eaten by a blind bear?"

Huang Shuo asked Zhao Xuan back.

Zhao Xuan rolled her eyes at Huang Shuo.

"Would a normal bear eat a dead person covered in poison?"

"I'm not a bear, how should I know?"

Huang Shuo answered as a matter of course, and when he saw his daughter glaring at him, he quickly added another sentence.

"Why don't we go back and ask the Little Medical Fairy? She's quite knowledgeable about poisons!"

Going home now, isn't that ridiculous?

So, the two of them started staring at each other, completely blind to each other's knowledge, and they didn't even have Baidu.

After a moment, Zhao Xuan came back to her senses and said anxiously:

"Dad, why are we so obsessed with the second brother's death? You saw him commit suicide by poisoning yourself, how could you be wrong? We're going to find the eldest or third brother to ask if there's more solid evidence to prove that the second brother is indeed a member of the Flame Organization!"

"You're right, but..."

A trace of worry appeared on Huang Shuo's face.

"The village chief said that the two brothers are already married and have children. What if they are just ordinary people? Wouldn't it be a bit excessive to kidnap them in the middle of the night? What if they alarm their families again..."

The more Zhao Xuan listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Did her father think of her as a "bad person"?

Zhao Xuan interrupted Huang Shuo.

"I just want to ask clearly, I don't want to do anything to them."

"What if they are truly innocent? Wouldn't that just ruin their peaceful life?"

Huang Shuo said anxiously when he saw that Zhao Xuan was still unwilling to give up this action.

Zhao Xuan finally understood that her father did not approve of going to see the Zhang brothers in the middle of the night.

"Just tell me what you want to do."

Zhao Xuan asked Huang Shuo directly.

"Let's go back to the house and sleep. We'll see what happens tomorrow."

After Huang Shuo finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the village chief's house.

Zhao Xuan sighed inwardly. Currently, the Zhang brothers were the key figures in finding the Flame Organization, but considering her father's kind heart, their future was definitely uncertain.

Zhao Xuan felt that what Guo Da said was right. She and her father, apart from being good at martial arts, were not good at anything else, and their brains were even worse.

After much difficulty in getting some clues out of the village chief and his wife, I didn't get any useful information out of them and ended up confusing myself instead.

Should she bring along the analytical emperor, Gu Zhanghua?

Instead of investigating a case with a father who is even more confused than her?

Zhao Xuan had only been out for a few days when she pulled out all her friends and missed them all.

?

The next morning, the father and daughter thanked the village chief and his wife, and continued selling groceries around the village, heading specifically for the Zhang brothers' house.

As I walked to the door, I saw a woman in her thirties hurriedly coming out with a lunch box.

Huang Shuo stepped forward and greeted them warmly.

"Does this lady need to buy some groceries? We have everything here."

The woman stopped and looked at the peddler's load carried by Huang Shuo.

"Do you have pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?"

The woman asked.

"I can't afford the best ones, but I have some ordinary ones. Would you like to take a look?"

Huang Shuo put down his carrying pole and answered the woman.

Zhao Xuan hurriedly took out an inkstone from the cart and handed it to the woman.

The woman took it and looked at it, then looked at the food box in her hand, returned the inkstone to Zhao Xuan, and smiled apologetically.

"It looks fine, but I was just about to send some food to the child's father, and I'm afraid it might get cold if I'm late. Could you two wait here for me?"

Huang Shuo quickly smiled and waved his hand.

"It's okay, it's okay. We'll go with you and sell some goods along the way!"

The woman laughed heartily.

"That's fine! The kid's father didn't even have breakfast early in the morning. He's busy fixing Grandma Sun's roof. Come with me and ask Grandma Sun if she needs anything!"

After the woman finished speaking, she called to the father and daughter to follow her, and the three of them walked along the village path towards the fields.

The woman pointed ahead as she walked.

"It's just past this plowed field."

"So, big brother is a bricklayer?"

Huang Shuo asked casually.

"No, he's just a farmer."

The woman smiled and denied Huang Shuo's words, then continued:

"Grandma Sun's children opened a butcher shop in the county town and only come back during the holidays. The roof of Grandma's house started leaking a few days ago, and there aren't many people in the village who can climb up and down. When his father found out, he went to help fix it!"

The woman obviously supported her husband in helping Grandma Sun and had no complaints.

"Big brother is really a warm-hearted person. What's your name?"

Huang Shuo tried to get close to the woman.

"My husband's surname is Zhang..."

When the woman said this, she suddenly waved to a man who was working hard on the edge of the field.

"Third brother! You've worked hard today. When your eldest brother is done, I'll have him come over to help you!"

The man straightened up and smiled shyly at the woman.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, let brother go home and rest after he's done his work. I can handle it!"

Huang Shuo and Zhao Xuan looked at each other and found out that the woman who delivered the food was the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Zhang family.

At this time, the woman was heard shouting to the man again.

"After my sister-in-law sends the children to school, I'll ask her to come and bring you some water!"

"okay, I get it!"

The man responded and bent down to continue hoeing the ground.

Huang Shuo asked, "Sister-in-law, did you buy pens, ink, paper, and inkstone for the children?"

"That's right! We have three boys and one girl from our two families, all of whom are in school. It costs a lot of money! Fortunately you came, otherwise I would have to go to the county town!"

"Your two families have such a good relationship."

Huang Shuo couldn't help but sigh.

The woman was also a simple-minded person. When she heard Huang Shuo praising the good relationship between their two families, she smiled and started talking.

"My wife and my third brother are both orphans. Their names were given by the teachers at the orphanage because they were admitted to the orphanage at the same time. The teacher who took care of them was surnamed Zhang, and both were from the Yong generation. My wife is called Zhang Yongsheng and my third brother is called Zhang Yongli. They are not actually related by blood, but they are closer than brothers. Since they got married one after another, they are both good family men!

Other families are thinking about making a lot of money, but they just want to work hard on the farm. They say they can't bear to leave home and their children. We sisters-in-law also feel that no matter how much money we make, it's not as good as having a happy family together. That's how we live a happy and lively life!"

The woman spoke happily and quickly, with some sweat on her forehead. She fanned herself with her hands, and a happy smile was on her face.

Huang Shuo was moved by the woman's words and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "Well said!"
