Chu Wanying returned to the house happily, with a parcel of silver in her arms.

This is what Rong Zhan just gave her. After pouring it out and counting, there are as many as ten taels!

The man had already spent a lot of money today, and now he still had to bring her back such money. It seemed that he had hunted a lot in the mountains in the past few days.

No wonder I looked so bad when I came back yesterday.

Chu Wanying put the money into the space and saw that the account balance showed 18 taels and 2 yuan.

There is more and more money, and the task of stocking up has become more and more difficult.

——————

The next day, Chu Wanying and Rong Zhan went to town early in the morning to shop.

I didn't gain much in the town today, I just walked around a bit.

Rong Zhan told her that he planned to open a rice noodle shop in the town, but after shopping around, he couldn't find a satisfactory shop.

Either the price was too high or the location was not good, so I searched around all morning and couldn't find anything suitable.

When the two returned to Rong's house, Mrs. Zhao was standing at the door talking to several women. She said hello to them briefly and then went into the house.

Vaguely, Chu Wanying seemed to hear words like "murder", "gambling debt", and "coffin".

After entering the house, Chu Wanying took a lunch break, packed up and was ready to go out. When she opened the door, she saw Rong Zhan and Zhao standing in the yard talking.

The two of them looked serious, and when she came closer, they immediately stopped talking. Mrs. Zhao even found an excuse to leave, turned around and entered the house.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zhao told them not to run around in the near future, she seemed very nervous.

Chu Wanying didn't know why. Isn't it okay to go out in the morning? Why did Zhao become so frightened in just half a day?

Could it be that those women just said something to Mrs. Zhao?

"I'm going to Li Zheng in a while, do you want to follow me?"

The man's words brought back her thoughts, and Chu Wanying nodded after hearing the words.

It wasn't until he left Rong's house and walked around the corner that Rong Zhan spoke again, "Mom is just a little too worried. I just heard from other aunts that the identity of this female corpse has been found out."

How could the efficiency of the ancients be so fast?

Chu Wanying couldn't help but admire him.

The man always seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How could the matter be solved so smoothly? We only know the identity of the deceased, but the identity of the murderer is unknown. Do you know who this body is?"

Chu Wanying shook her head and didn't know.

She wasn't very familiar with this place, not to mention that she had been trapped in the Chu family's house and couldn't get out of the house, so she didn't know which family in the village had lost their daughter.

"This person is the eldest daughter of the Xing family, Xing Sisi."

What!!

Looking at the girl's surprised look, the man nodded and said, "You can't be wrong. Uncle Xing and Aunt Xing are still with Uncle Lizheng at this time. The specific situation will have to wait until we go over and ask clearly."

So, they already knew that Xing Sisi was murdered?

If so, why do they brag that their eldest daughter married into the capital and is living a good life?

Chu Wanying didn't understand what kind of family the Xing family was. They abused their daughters, sold their daughters for glory, and even squeezed out the last remaining value of their daughter after she died in vain - framing others in exchange for compensation.

With this kind of use in every possible way, Chu Wanying felt that if she grew up in this kind of native family, it would be better to live in an orphanage like her previous life.

It is better to get along with strangers who are not related by blood than to be morally kidnapped by the nominal fetters of family ties.

——————

When they arrived at Li Zheng's house, they saw the body covered with a layer of white cloth in the yard.

Thinking that another body had just been lying here two days ago, Chu Wanying felt sad.

"Zhan'er, please take a step to speak." As soon as old Rong Toufu saw Rong Zhan, he pulled him aside and whispered.

Old Rongtou has been here since last night. He said he wanted to ask him about something, but in fact, according to modern terms, he was detained.

After all, the body was found in the Rong family, so he, the head of the family, could not absolve himself of the blame.

Even if Li Zheng didn't let him come, Chu Wanying felt that with his fair and selfless stubbornness, his conscience would be uneasy and she wanted to follow him.

Thinking that he had not slept all night, the old man's head and eyes were slightly red, and he could not hide his tiredness.

While the two were talking and there was no one else in the yard, Chu Wanying quietly walked to the body, lifted the white cloth, and took a quick look.

After being exposed to the air for a night, the body was even more corroded. The clothes were also badly damaged, and the original appearance could not be seen at all.

To be honest, if the Xing family did not take the initiative to claim it, it would be impossible to find out the identity of the deceased with the backward technology of ancient times.

Chu Wanying let go and covered the white cloth sheet. When she saw her arms hanging to the side, she looked startled.

The girl's fair and slender wrists have now lost most of their flesh, but this still does not prevent her from clearly seeing the fingerprints on her wrists.

Xing Cuicui can be said to be a coincidence, and now there is another Xing Sisi...

This can't be a coincidence!

"What's wrong? Did you find something?" When Rong Zhan walked towards her, he saw that her face was not pretty, and his handsome eyebrows furrowed.

Chu Wanying waved the wrist of the female corpse in front of the man. The latter squinted at it for a while and immediately understood her intention.

"Is this fingerprint the same as the one on Xing Cuicui?"

Chu Wanying nodded.

Rong Zhan rubbed his chin, considered for a moment, and then spoke slowly, "Dad told me just now that the Xing family's excuse when they came was that Xing Sisi had not come back since she married into her husband's family last year and followed them to the capital.

Yes. They occasionally exchanged letters until the beginning of the year when they agreed to take their husband-in-law home to visit relatives. However, they waited for more than a month and there was no reply, and they have lost contact since then."

In other words, do they think Xing Sisi was killed at the beginning of the year?

Chu Wanying thought to herself that the time of the crime was consistent with the decomposition of the body, but how the person suddenly appeared in Yunluo Village from the capital and why the murderer buried the woman's body in the yard of the Rong family is still a mystery.

.

Most importantly, how did the Xing family determine that the body was that of Xing Sisi?

Rong Zhan obviously guessed what she was thinking, and continued: "The matter was not over until two months ago, when Uncle Xing went to do farm work in the fields, he suddenly discovered Xing Sisi's body. They were both afraid of causing fire and the scandal would be publicized.

, they hurriedly buried their daughter in their own land. As for why the body suddenly appeared in the Rong family, and who the murderer was, they had no idea."

"There's just one thing I can't understand the most. Why did the gangster go to such trouble to dig up the body and bury it in our house? Since the Xing family didn't publicize the matter, then he could just sit back and relax, so why bother? Is he just trying to frame us?

Home?"

The man's words to himself floated into Chu Wanying's ears, and it was quite possible that she would smack these words.

Otherwise it really doesn’t make sense!

By the way, where is the Xing family?

Chu Wanying looked around and didn't see them after arriving for a long time.

"I have gone back, saying that I am going back to prepare for Xing Sisi's funeral." Rong Zhan could always guess her thoughts accurately.

Chu Wanying understood that if a woman from Dayan Kingdom is married, she cannot return to her parents' home even if her husband's family refuses to accept her after her death.

So what Lao Xing and his wife planned when they went back was just to use some money to find a few strong men to bury the person somewhere casually outside.

But Chu Wanying still had a question, she looked at the man.

Rong Zhan, who had been staring at her for a long time, immediately understood, "When the body was exhumed last night, they thought they would come over to see the excitement, and they saw a red scar as big as a bowl on the other person's shoulder, and that's when they knew what had happened was exposed.

Already.

It is said that this red scar was caused by being scalded with boiling water when I was playing for a while."

The man spoke carefully, and Chu Wanying did not dare to slack off at all, listening to his words carefully.

"That's what happened. Uncle Xing and the others saw the red scar on the girl's shoulder, and then saw that the girl's clothes were familiar, so they guessed that Xing Sisi's body must have been moved to Rong's house."

How could this couple, who usually ignored their three daughters, remember the location and condition of the scars so clearly?

Chu Wanying still felt that there was something wrong with it, but she couldn't figure it out for the moment, so she gave up.

But there was one thing she could not mistake, that is, there were five finger prints on the wrists of the two female corpses, and there was an obvious ring on the other's thumb.

She stood aside silently thinking about her own affairs, and heard the man walking over to Li Zheng to discuss the case.

"Rong Zhan, forget all the polite words! Just tell me directly, how likely is it that this murderer will be caught?"

Rong Zhan looked solemn and spoke loudly, "It's hard to say the identity of the murderer, but we can start from the matter of moving the corpse. He must be someone who lives near Rong's house. If you think about it this way, the murderer may have some

looks."

Li Zheng nodded when he heard the words, "That makes sense. Your home is located at the junction of Yunluo Village and the town. It is inconvenient for many people to come and go during the day. If you want to move the body here without anyone noticing, then

It must be at night, so it would be most convenient to live near your home."

"Have you ever suspected that it was Uncle Xing who shouted to catch the thief?" Rong Zhan said suddenly.

Li Zheng shook his head, "Tiger poison can't eat its seeds! What's more, Lao Xing is greedy for money, but he won't kill his daughter. To say the least, if he really wanted to kill Xing Sisi, he wouldn't

Choose this moment."
