Rong Zhan didn't notice it before because the girl's clothes were intact, but now that Chu Wanying reminded her, he discovered the bruises on her body.

When Chu Wanying realized something was wrong, she pretended to be thirsty. While Xing Fangfang helped her scoop a bowl of water, she quickly changed Xing Cuicui's coat. During this process, she noticed faint blood stains on her middle coat.

There is no need to explain clearly what the girl has experienced.

Rong Zhan's eyes were dark, and he pondered for a moment before deducing: "Xing Cuicui did not commit suicide. She should have been thrown into the back mountain and encountered a bad person before she met with something unexpected."

"If you want to investigate the people who have been to Houshan during this period, there is no way to investigate. Can this matter just become an open case?"

He seemed to be asking himself, but both of them knew it was the truth.

Chu Wanying also knew that in ancient times, without advanced technological equipment, it would be extremely difficult to detect the murderer through DNA.

However, it is not completely without a clue.

She raised the girl's wrist again and observed it carefully.

Rong Zhan saw that she was looking at her seriously and looked at her with interest.

Today the girl is wearing a light-colored jacket, which makes her skin tone fairer and more delicate, her cheeks are also a little fleshy, her mouth is bright red, and her lips are full.

I think she has been doing pretty well at the Rong family these past few days.

Rong Zhan felt a little at ease.

Chu Wanying tilted her head, revealing her slender neck. She stared at Xing Cuicui's other hand quietly for a while, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she raised her eyes to look at the man.

Their eyes met unexpectedly, and the air seemed to be stagnant for a moment.

"Ahem, let me tell Uncle Li Zheng our inference first." Rong Zhan pretended to cough to cover up the embarrassment on his face, turned around and left.

Chu Wanying wanted to grab him, but after thinking for a moment, she retracted her hand.

So what if we know this new clue now? Back Mountain covers such a large area that eight villages in the surrounding area may pass through it. What's more, there are at least hundreds of men in Yunluo Village alone.

The investigation one by one will last until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Sighing in her heart, she took one last look at Xing Cuicui's body, covered it with a white cloth, and followed her out of the house.

——————

Rong Zhan explained everything about the future to Li Zheng and others, and everyone had different expressions upon hearing this.

Among them, Li Zheng was the most intense, "If such despicable things were really done by people from our Yunluo Village, I will punish them severely!"

When the others heard this, they all agreed.

"Isn't that right? When did such a scum appear in our village? If this person is really from Yunluo Village, how can he face his ancestors after death?"

"Yes! It seems that I have to ask our girl to go out less in the future. If this gangster comes from another village, we will be really hard to guard against!"

"What if you are not from the village, but a stranger, or a bandit in the mountains? After all, the world is very chaotic now!"

"..."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, but no one sympathized with Xing Cuicui's experience.

When Chu Wanying heard their words, she felt chilled.

Human nature is inherently evil, that’s true.

Looking at Rong Zhan and Lao Rongtou again, they were standing on one side, shielding everyone, talking quietly about something, without interfering in their conversation at all.

Chu Wanying walked towards them. At this time, Li Zheng jumped out of nowhere and stood in front of her. With his back to her, he said to the two of them, "What do you think we should do about Rong Zhan?"

Chu Wanying didn't know Rong Zhan's identity and wondered why she was asking him about this, so she heard the man say, "This matter is still open to discussion. There are no other clues at the moment. Let's bury Miss Xing first!"

There is an unwritten rule in Yunluo Village that a person who died in vain must be laid to rest within three days after his death, otherwise the soul of the victim will wander around the world and never be reincarnated.

"No! I don't agree!" As soon as Rong Zhan finished speaking, a figure suddenly jumped out and stood in the middle of the crowd and said to them, "Sister Cui is dead, and there is no explanation for this matter! Isn't that in vain?

Die! I think you are incompetent!"

Chu Wanying looked at this person and saw that he was not old but not small. Among all the people present, only Rong Zhan was taller than him.

The boy had a ferocious look on his face, and at first glance he was not easy to get along with.

This person must be the youngest son of the Xing family, Xing Xiaowu.

Xing Xiaowu glanced at everyone one by one. When he saw Rong Zhan, his face showed a fierce look and he said with contempt, "Brother Rong, you said that the real murderer has not been caught yet. Is there anyone who knows my sister underground who can die in peace?"

The words are precise and the feelings are sincere, it seems like that.

Rong Zhan glanced at him lightly. If others don't understand this kid, how can he not understand him?

In his heart, apart from money, there is no family affection at all.

"What do you want?"

"Hmph! We must catch this murderer! Then let him compensate our family. Then Sister Cui's death will not be in vain!"

Aunt Xing and Lao Xing were paralyzed on the ground, dazed in despair. After hearing his words, they stood up and echoed, "My Xiao Wu is right! Our Xing family must give an explanation for this matter!"

When they thought that after Xing Cuicui died, the Huo family's betrothal gifts would be gone, they felt a dull pain in their hearts!

Since the murderer killed the money tree, he must be compensated!

Ha! This family is really shameless to the extreme.

Chu Wanying looked at them with a sneer.

"There are not enough clues, and the murderer cannot be confirmed yet, so how can we get compensation?" Rong Zhan lowered his voice, as if he was enduring.

His face was gloomy, he really had no patience for this cold-blooded family, he turned his head and deliberately stopped looking at them.

"If you really want it, why not catch the murderer yourself." The words were so cold that Chu Wanying couldn't help but think that if Xing Xiaowu said one more thing, he might take action.

"If we can find out the murderer, what else do we need you to do!"

Why can’t you even do this little thing well?”

"Xiao Wu, you can't say that!" Li Zheng frowned upon hearing this.

"We have done our best on this matter, but what you say is unfair!"

It was rare to see Li Zheng speak so harshly. I knew he was really angry. He pulled Xing Xiaowu's sleeve and whispered, "Son, I think we should just forget about it! After all, he is an official and we are just civilians."

The common people, if anything happens, there is no way they can fight against them!"

"Hmph! You are afraid of them, but I am not! I have nothing now but money! If I can't see the money today, I can do anything!" When Xing Xiaowu said this, his eyes were scarlet and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

It looks like a ferocious beast, with no humanity at all.

Seeing his appearance, others had no doubt about the authenticity of what he said.

Aunt Xing's heart trembled when she saw him like this, "Xiao Wu, you won't go gambling again! Didn't you agree not to hang out with Liu Laosi's gang anymore?"

"Mom! Don't mind my business! Anyway, I must see the money today!" Xing Xiaowu turned to Rong Zhan and said, "Our Xing family must explain this matter today!"

"Explain?" The corners of Rong Zhan's lips raised, but there was no smile in his eyes, and his tone was steady, "If I don't give it, what can you do?"

Hearing such provocative words, Xing Xiaowu couldn't help it immediately, raised his fist and hit the man.

After the latter's hard training these days, and the fact that his body has absorbed all the spiritual spring pills that Chu Wanying boiled for him that day, his current skills will soon be different from those of the past.

In his eyes, Xing Xiaowu's attacks were fierce but unorganized, but he was easily subdued with just three moves. He grabbed his arm, exerted slight force on his palm, and tapped a few acupuncture points on the opponent's elbow.

The other party immediately started wailing.

"Uncle Xing, I can treat this as if it didn't happen today, and I won't let you go mercilessly next time!" As he spoke, Rong Zhan let go of his hand.

Xing Xiaowu screamed, "Ouch! My arm! Rong Zhan, how dare you destroy my arm! I'm not done with you!" After saying that, he rushed forward again.

Rong Zhan ignored him, and Lao Xing quickly pulled him away. Aunt Xing fell to her knees, kowtowed to Rong Zhan, and begged for mercy, "Rong Zhan! You see, our family has been together for many years."

Neighbors, let’s just forget about it today! Please spare our Xiao Wu! You can’t destroy his arm! Our old Xing family only has this one seedling now! If he had

There are three advantages and two disadvantages, and I don’t plan to live anymore!”

Before Rong Zhan could reply, Lao Rongtou said first, "In that case, you should return our things first and then talk about it!"

It's rare to have such an opportunity to negotiate terms. Old Rongtou is not stupid, Chu Wanying thought approvingly.

Rong Zhan raised his eyebrows and glanced at his father, feeling convinced.

"I...I..." Aunt Xing's face turned red when she heard this. She held it in for a long time, and finally said cruelly, "Okay! But you have to save my son first!"

Rong Zhan walked towards Xing Xiaowu, grabbed his arm and tapped him a few times. The other person immediately recovered and asked in shock, "What kind of magic is this?"

Rong Zhan was speechless and only said calmly to Aunt Xing, "Remember your promise."

Seeing how powerful he was, Aunt Xing didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. She hurriedly entered the house, put everything into a sack, took it out, and handed it to Old Rongtou.

"Everything is here, you can't hurt my Xiaowu anymore!"

After counting the things inside one by one and confirming that nothing was missing, Old Rongtou hummed, "As long as he doesn't do anything stupid again."

When the villagers who had been watching for a long time saw this, they all knew that the Xing family had indeed done a lot of sneaky things, and they all condemned them.

They were so ashamed that they ran into the house with Xing Xiaowu, locked the door, and never dared to come out again.

Looking at him like this, he really looks like a rat crossing the street, and everyone is yelling at him to beat him.

Chu Wanying touched her nose and felt bored. She just sighed in her heart. It was pitiful that Xing Fangfang was still young and could not escape from the control of the Xing family.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, everyone felt that there was no good show to watch and dispersed. The three of them and Li Zheng were left standing at the door.

Li Zheng sighed, "It's my fault for this. I didn't investigate clearly, so I wronged you. My child, please don't take it to heart!"
