Early the next morning, Zhang Zixiao dragged a banner through the market, trying to make as much noise as possible.

"Oh, it's really not surprising at all."

Standing on the windowsill and looking into the distance, Li Tianxiu shook his head in disappointment.

If you want to get things done in Goose City, the Huang family is an unavoidable obstacle. If you want to push the task forward, you must find a way to delay them and prevent them from causing trouble.

"Are you okay?"

Old Gong walked up to him.

"They are just a bunch of conservative old-fashioned people, let them make a fuss. But you, what happened to you last night that you came back so late?" Li Tianxiu turned around and said.

"Liang Yu died and Shen Jufeng was slightly injured." Old Gong replied.

They were also attacked yesterday, but luckily he and the beasts' fighting power overwhelmed those guys and did not cause any damage.

"Who is Liang Yu?"

"Driver, he wasn't with us last night. His body was hung at the door."

"Oh."

Li Tianxiu walked back into the room, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Other reincarnations were also in the room.

"The people who came to us last night were not simple. Three of them were at least at the level of once-world reincarnationists. My old...partner and I can only deal with thirty or forty of them at most. This is not a solution." The Beast said worriedly.

"The character of Gong Dewei also has a background, and people like Mr. Huang are concerned about interests. It is impossible for him to chop off our heads right away. At least before the end of the ten-day bet, his first goal will be to conquer us." Li Tianxiu analyzed.

"But as our threat grows, this time will be shortened," said Lao Gong.

"Yes." Li Tianxiu nodded.

"I don't see the chance of winning." The Beast frowned.

"Are you sure?" Chen Xi looked at Li Tianxiu.

"Have."

"How much?"

"One percent."

"Only 10%?" Chen Xi asked in surprise.

With a 10% chance of winning, how can he be so calm?

"Let's go, everyone is here, let's go down and see what they have done."

Li Tianxiu smiled, stood up and walked downstairs.

"Dad, they are so cruel! Not only did they kill people, but they didn't even leave me the body..."

The bluestone slab outside the door was still covered with dust and mist. Zhang Zixiao scraped off a piece of moss at some point, wrote the word "miserable" on his thigh, and knelt on the ground crying hard.

"I heard an explosion over there last night. Was it the county governor who did it?"

"But didn't the county magistrate just give money to their family yesterday? Why did they start killing people?"

"Could it be that when Zhang Zixiao went to collect the money, he happened to discover the improper relationship between the county magistrate and the secretary, and was silenced?"

"Is there such a thing?"

"That's right! I think the way the secretary looks at the county governor is wrong."

"But I prefer the County Magistrate and Mr. Mo."

“I sell peanuts, melon seeds, and herbal tea.”

The townspeople loved to watch the fun. They stood in a circle around Zhang Zixiao, making various guesses.

Those who couldn't squeeze into the center even climbed up the trees, holding a handful of freshly bought melon seeds in their hands, waiting for the real owner to appear.

"Hey, you still dare to come here?"

Li Tianxiu walked out slowly, leaning against the stone lion in front of the gate with his arms folded across his chest.

"I, why wouldn't I dare?" Zhang Zixiao said righteously.

"Please begin your performance."

Li Tianxiu made a gesture of invitation with a calm expression.

"I……"

Zhang Zixiao felt a little scared by this appearance, but he looked at Hu Tu who was eating noodles on the roadside and said, "I'm not acting! I saw him blow up the wall of my house with my own eyes yesterday, and he also shot my father to death!"

"Tell me all the details and evidence. Otherwise, how can you prove that I killed your father without any evidence?" Li Tianxiu said playfully.

This is not the entertainment industry. You can't get anything done without acting skills.

"I...I received the condolence money yesterday and just bought some side dishes to cook. Then Mr. Mo brought people to my dad's house to get the prescription. My dad said he didn't know, so they started beating him!

I went up to stop him and said no, but Mr. Mo got even more excited and punched me...my...chin. "

Zhang Zixiao said excitedly, pointing at his upper lip.

"Oh~"

Li Tianxiu clapped his hands in a pretentious manner, then walked slowly around him and mocked him, "There's a footprint behind you. Did I kick your butt last night?"

"Hahaha."

Chen Xi couldn't help laughing and said, "And when Mr. Mo saw that you guys had added some dishes, he was salivating and ate your chicken in one bite..."

"Shut up!"

Li Tianxiu stopped him.

It's just causing trouble.

"Hahaha……"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, as if they were moved by Li Tianxiu's humor.

But more people have begun to doubt Zhang Zixiao's acting skills.

"Ugh……"

Seeing this scene, Hu Tu could only sigh helplessly and took the initiative to join in: "Mr. Mo, you can't just look at who can talk when solving a case, right? Zhang Zixiao said that you took the body away after killing someone. Why is that?"

"This is of course to preserve evidence." Li Tianxiu said with a smile.

"But the scene has been destroyed. Isn't there less evidence?"

Hu Tu put down the cold noodles in his hand, chuckled and walked out of the crowd: "Many people saw you going to Zhang's house last night. If Mr. Mo wants to clear his suspicion, he must produce some solid evidence."

Fearing another attack, Li Tianxiu and others did not leave anyone to guard the scene.

So this matter was left to them.

The scene now is full of "evidence".

"Butler Hu doesn't need to worry about this."

Li Tianxiu smiled easily and raised his eyebrows and said, "As for the evidence, I have it."

Chapter 36 Confusing right and wrong

"Among the people who came to greet me yesterday, there was a man called Huang Qi, right?"

Li Tianxiu looked at Hu Tu, and the surrounding townspeople instantly quieted down.

This is a war between the Huang family and the Guan family, and they dare not interfere.

"We are talking about murder now, don't change the subject." Hu Tu sneered.

"Because I was not the only one at the scene yesterday. Someone dressed up as a ghost and killed Dr. Zhang." Li Tianxiu explained.

"Someone? How do I know you are not talking nonsense?" Hu Tu frowned.

"Then how do you know that Zhang Zixiao is not talking nonsense?" Li Tianxiu asked back.

"He is Dr. Zhang's son. Would he lie about his father's life or death?!" Hu Tu was amused.

"I am an official. Would I lie about something fair?" Li Tianxiu asked back.

"Oh! That may not be the case."

Hu Tu really laughed this time: "There are many corrupt officials in this world. Your statement will not convince the public."

"With more corrupt officials, will there be fewer rebellious sons?"

Li Tianxiu also laughed and retorted: "You can think of my faults, but Zhang Zixiao has squandered the family business, and his mother fell ill and wandered outside for many days without being brought back. That is unfilial.

How can you be sure that he is an upright person? "

"Yes, this Zhang Zixiao is well-known for being a parasite."

"He owes me thirty dollars and hasn't paid me back yet."

"Mr. Mo is fighting against Mr. Huang, so I will definitely trust Mr. Mo more."

The gazes of the townspeople were like nails piercing into Zhang Zixiao's bones, making him sweat profusely and not daring to look up.

But after all, they were just here to watch the fun, and these thoughts were only in their minds, and no one spoke them out loud.

Hutu also fell silent and had nothing to say for a while.

Seeing this, Old Gong also stepped out to defend himself: "Send someone to notify Huang Qi and ask him to go to Zhang's house. This is a summons, not a reasoning game with you."

"Since the county magistrate has asked us to do so, we must do so."

Hu Tu heard this and smiled skillfully, then asked, "But if it is later found out that the county magistrate has wrongly accused a good person, what should we do?"

"This is a legitimate investigation process. We won't arrest him if he is not guilty." Old Gong did not accept the challenge.

"I stabbed the murderer in the calf when he was escaping. You ask him to come over. If there is no wound on his leg, he will naturally be cleared of suspicion." Li Tianxiu also added.

"it is good."

Hu Tu was waiting for him to say this, and immediately sent someone back to the Huang family.

Anyway, he has made all the preparations. As long as the case reaches a stalemate, the advantage will naturally return to them.

So, a group of people came to Zhang's house in a mighty manner.

The wreckage there was shocking. The bloodstains on the ground had been cleaned up long ago, leaving almost no trace. Even the roof that was crushed by Huang Qi during the sneak attack had been filled up, leaving no space at all.

"The scene is completely destroyed. Can you handle it?" Old Gong couldn't help but frowned.

A disaster-level scene like this would be impossible for modern detectives to solve in ten days or half a month. If the other party plays dumb, there is nothing they can do to them.

"Don't panic, there are loopholes everywhere."

Li Tianxiu whispered to Old Gong, telling him not to worry.

A moment later, Huang Qi was carried over by the Huang family's servants and asked Hu Tu: "What happened?"

"I have everything under control."

Hu Tu smiled confidently, then stepped forward and said, "I have brought the person here. I wonder what Mr. Mo wants to see?"

"What happened to your leg?"

Li Tianxiu walked forward with a smile, looking confident of victory.

This confident expression was exactly what Huang Qi wanted. He pulled up his trouser legs complacently and sneered, "This injury was caused by the county magistrate when he was welcoming you yesterday. I didn't pursue the matter with you, but you want to bite me back?"

"It's just an investigation, no need to get so excited." Li Tianxiu said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll let you investigate to your heart's content!"

Huang Qi tore off the bandage and said angrily: "Take a good look! Is this a sword wound or a gunshot wound?"

After all, it was a real shot, and the wound on his leg had changed from a stab wound to a penetration wound, and it looked bloody.

"I have a bold idea." Li Tianxiu frowned.

"Don't be a pervert to me!" Huang Qi's eyes twitched wildly.

"What I mean is, you can see traces of burns and gunpowder on the wound, which is the result of shooting at close range. I didn't expect that Mr. Huang Qi would go to such great lengths to get away with it." Li Tianxiu said with a smile.

"I……"
