Chapter 15 Crime Scene 1

Liu Zifeng's words made Xiao Yichen frown, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the face of the little girl beside him.

Could it be that the death of this unseen Wang Mang is actually related to the strange events last night?

Xiao Yichen kept thinking about this person named Wang Mang. He was sure that he had never heard of this person's name. In addition, the servants of the Xiao Mansion did not like to deal with outsiders and always did their own work.

Liu Zifeng was anxious in his heart, but he did not urge him out loud.

Just seeing Xiao Yichen's eyes falling on a strange little girl, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, since this case involves my Xiao family, I will definitely cooperate."

Xiao Yichen looked away and calmed down his emotions.

No matter what connection this had with last night, he had to deal with it.

"I can go to the crime scene with you now, but Qingtian needs to go with me."

Liu Zifeng was stunned for a moment and then warned: "Young Master, the scene of this murder is horrific and bloody, and it is not something a child can bear. This is not appropriate."

Although I don’t know what the relationship between the little girl and the Xiao family is, Liu Zifeng, as an adult, never wants children to be inexplicably harmed, whether mentally or physically.

Just by listening to Liu Zifeng's description, Xiao Yichen could imagine the strange and tragic scene of the crime.

If he hadn't witnessed and experienced what happened last night with his own eyes, he would never have let his niece go to such a filthy place.

"Master Liu, my child came to Fengcheng alone yesterday. You also saw that she is weak and frail, and she is very close to me and clinging to me."

Saying that, Xiao Yichen hugged Su Qingtian in his arms.

"If I don't take her with me, I won't be able to leave her alone in the house. When the time comes, I will cry to the point of convulsions and high fever, and I will feel guilty."

Su Qingtian felt sleepy after eating so much, so she was hugged by Xiao Yichen, and she simply climbed into his arms, lay on the man's shoulder and dozed off.

Liu Zifeng saw that the two of them had a close relationship and that the little girl was indeed very thin, so he stopped trying to persuade her and nodded in agreement.

After ordering his servants to hitch the carriage, Xiao Yichen carried Su Qingtian and Liu Zifeng out of the gate of Xiao Mansion.

Outside the gate, many people had gathered at this time.

Although Fengcheng is located on the border, there are very few cases of killing people and stealing goods. Most of them are civilians who died in the war.

Now not only did such a strange thing happen in the city, but it also involved the Xiao family. The people couldn't help but talk about it, and all kinds of rumors spread in the city.

There were many good people, but they did not dare to openly watch in front of the Xiao Mansion gate, so they had to pretend to be doing business and shopping, wandering around the Xiao Mansion.

It was just those glances that came from time to time that made Xiao Yichen feel uncomfortable.

Some of the brave ones even gathered together and whispered among themselves, and the sound of discussion reached Xiao Yichen's ears vaguely.

Rumors will never disappear as long as there are people.

Xiao Yichen didn't intend to pay attention to it. The Xiao family had already suffered too many criticisms, so they were not afraid of this one more.

Amid everyone's discussion, Xiao Yichen took Su Qingtian onto the carriage, and Liu Zifeng followed behind them.

After driving for a while, Liu Zifeng slowly spoke.

"This case was so weird that when Wang Mang's wife reported it to the police, she screamed out of fear, and the surrounding neighbors went to check it out."

This is also the reason why the case discovered this morning was spread throughout the city before noon.

"Young Master, I believe you have heard the rumors in Fengcheng over the past few years." Liu Zifeng paused, lowered his voice, and said softly, "Most of these secret rumors are about the arrival of the disaster star of the Xiao family, who will destroy others and himself.

country."

"Originally, Fengcheng was peaceful and peaceful under the leadership of General Xiao, and the people did not believe such rumors. But as soon as this case comes out today, I am afraid that some old things will be brought up again."

Xiao Yichen's lips curled into a straight line as he listened to Liu Zifeng's faint words.

He understood Liu Zifeng's worries about the Xiao family, but even the county magistrate of a city could not influence the thoughts of the people.

Liu Zifeng specially invited himself to the scene of the murder because he wanted to remove the Xiao family from the list of suspects.

However, there are too many people who secretly want something to happen to the Xiao family.

this time……

I'm afraid it's not something that Liu Zifeng can solve as easily as he thought.

Just when Xiao Yichen was thinking more and more entangled, a pair of soft little hands touched the back of his tight hands, immediately relaxing the man's clenched fists.

"Uncle, are you worried about something else?"

Su Qingtian leaned against the man, yawned, turned around and covered her mouth with her little hand and said secretly, "As long as uncle buys Qingtian something delicious, this matter will definitely go smoothly."

The little girl thought she said it softly, but Liu Zifeng listened clearly.

He couldn't help but look at the cute little girl, and felt that the sudden appearance of the Xiao family's baby was really interesting.

While comforting others, you are still busy asking for food.

Xiao Yichen was amused by the gluttonous Su Qingtian. Breakfast had just passed this point, and the little girl was so greedy that she remembered something delicious?

He smiled, reached out and rubbed Su Qingtian's little head. After rubbing it, he felt it was not enough, so he tugged on the two little ones.

"Xiao Qingtian is so cute and considerate, my uncle will buy you whatever you want to eat."

"Really!"

After receiving Xiao Yichen's promise, Su Qingtian smiled brightly, revealing a pair of shallow pear dimples.

She had to ask her uncle to buy more food later, so that she wouldn't faint from hunger outside. That would be too embarrassing.

Just as he was thinking about what he would buy later, the carriage suddenly stopped slowly, but the driver did not speak. It seemed that the carriage was blocked by the crowd outside.

The noisy sound outside made Liu Zifeng frown, so he opened the curtain first and got out.

In front of you is Dongfang City in Fengcheng. It is not only where the most concentrated shops are located in Fengcheng, it is also the main trade area for tribes from other countries.

This place can be regarded as the most important and prosperous trade street in Fengcheng.

The deceased Wang Mang lived in Southwest Street, Dongfang City, which is not far from the vegetable market, and he sold pork at the vegetable market on weekdays.

It is precisely because of the large flow of people here that within an hour after the murder was discovered, the people of Dongfang City already knew the specific victim of the murder and the strange crime scene.

The more people there are, the more talk there is.

The direction of speculation is also developing in an increasingly uncontrollable direction.

The people blocking the road at this time were the people who came to join in the fun. They were gathering in front and stretching their necks to look in the direction of Wang Mang's house. Most of the noisy voices contained all kinds of weird and weird rumors.

The people were afraid of officials, so Liu Zifeng just lifted the curtain and came out, and the whispering crowd fell silent instantly.

When the yamen guarding Wang Mang's house saw his lord, he quickly stepped forward, drove the people gathered on the road to both sides, and sent the officials to clear a path for the carriage to continue moving forward.
