Zhou Niannian's expression was pale, and he hurriedly ran over and grabbed a person: "What's wrong?"

"It was said that someone died in the house of Meng Laosan's family, I don't know the specifics, let's go and take a look. ”

The house of Meng Laosan's family?

Zhou Niannian turned around and closed the door of Meng Sanqiu's house, and followed the crowd to the southwest, the more he walked there, the more confused he became.

It wasn't until she walked to the old mansion of Meng Laosan's family, that is, the courtyard where she and Qi Jiayan once lived, that she realized.

It turned out that the house of Meng Laosan's family referred to here.

At this time, there were already many people outside the courtyard, all of whom were discussing.

"I've heard that people are dead, and they didn't close their eyes when they died. ”

"The one who died was Zhang Dong from Ershengtou Village, and I heard that it wasn't long before he came out of prison. ”

"The village chief has already reported the case, and the people from the investigation center will come in a while. ”

"How did you die? It can't be Zhang Peilan who killed you, right?"

"I don't know, I think she's scared and stupid. ”

When Zhou Niannian heard Zhang Peilan's name, she raised her eyebrows, why is Zhang Peilan still here?

She pushed aside the crowd and walked in, and there were many people standing in the courtyard, and the first thing she saw was a person lying on his back at the door of the hall, stiff and straight, looking at the sky with round eyes, and his expression was a little painful.

Not far away, there was a woman with a dark face sitting on the ground with her hair disheveled, holding a little girl about three years old in her arms.

The woman's face was full of fright, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at the corpse lying on the ground, only holding the child in her arms tightly, as if the child in her arms was her only support.

The child was very thin, probably because she was strangled too tightly by her mother's strength, or she was a little frightened by the fact that there were so many people in the yard, and the child cried very much.

The woman didn't care about coaxing the child, she just hugged the child blankly and muttered to herself.

Zhou Niannian walked closer, only to hear what she said: "It's not me, it's not me." ”

"Niannian, you're here too. Meng Sanqiu looked up and found Zhou Niannian and beckoned to her.

Zhou Niannian walked over and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Meng, what's the matter?"

Meng Sanqiu's face was a little unsightly, after all, there was a death in the village, and he, the village chief, must be uncomfortable.

"I heard screams in this yard this morning, and someone came to see that Zhang Dong was dead at the door of the house, and when I came over, I found that the person was dead. ”

He said and pointed at Zhang Peilan, "When I came over, she was like this." ”

Zhou Niannian frowned, feeling that Zhang Dong's name was a little familiar, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while, and was about to ask in a low voice, when he heard a wail at the gate of the courtyard.

"My son, Dongzi. A woman in her fifties rushed in from outside the door, crying and rushing in, and threw herself next to the corpse lying on the ground, grabbed her arm tightly and shook it, "Dongzi, you get up, don't scare me and your father." ”

Naturally, no matter how she shook, the person lying on the ground did not respond, and the woman almost fainted from crying.

The woman was followed by a gray-haired man, who shook his body and a great grief on his face when he saw his son's body.

But his mood was quite stable, he closed his eyes, and after suppressing the grief in his heart, his vicious eyes fell directly on Zhang Peilan, who was sitting on the ground.

"You're right, right? You killed my son, didn't you?" he asked Zhang Peilan in a hoarse voice.

Zhang Peilan's body trembled, and she subconsciously hugged the child in her arms, "No, it's not me, it's not me." ”

"It's you, you must have a grudge against Dongzi, that's why you killed my son. The more the man spoke, the more agitated he became, and angrily walked over and kicked his foot.

Zhang Peilan was kicked to the ground by her, and the child in her arms was frightened and cried even more, "Mom, Mom......."

Zhang Peilan fell to the ground, protecting the child in her arms, still shaking her head, "It's really not me." ”

"If you still refuse to admit it, I'll kill you. The man raised his foot and was about to kick again, but Meng Sanqiu stretched out his hand and grabbed him, "Zhang Lixian, I have already reported the case, you calm down, and wait for the people from the investigation office to arrive." ”

As soon as Meng Sanqiu stretched out his hand, two villagers from Mengjiang Village immediately stepped forward to help hold Zhang Lixian and began to persuade him.

Zhang Lixian struggled angrily and wanted to kick Zhang Peilan, "It's my son who died, how can you calm me down." ”

Zhang Lixian's mother-in-law, who had been crying on Zhang Dong's body, suddenly got up and pounced on Zhang Peilan, "You vixen, broom star, you must have killed my son, I want you to pay for my son's life." ”

Zhang Lixian's mother-in-law, who lost her mind, scratched and scratched Zhang Peilan, Zhang Peilan was pressed underneath, and the crying voice of the child in her arms was a little sharp, and the people who listened to it felt sour.

Zhou Niannian stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Lixian's mother-in-law, her hand was strong, and she pulled her up.

"Who are you, why are you stopping me from avenging my son, you must be in league with this broom star. Zhang Lixian's mother-in-law was suddenly pulled up, and angrily grabbed and kicked Zhou Niannian.

Zhou Niannian had the strength in her hand, she naturally couldn't beat herself, "Your son had an accident, I know you are very angry, but even if you kill her, your son will not be able to come back, and the most important thing is that your son may not have been killed by others." ”

Zhang Peilan, who had been lying on the ground, sat up, trembled when she heard the words, raised her head and fell on Zhou Niannian for the first time.

She blinked before she recognized that the person in front of her was Zhou Niannian, and pursed the corners of her lips, her eyes were very complicated.

From the accident to the present, the courtyard is full of people, almost everyone believes that she killed Zhang Dong, and Zhou Niannian is the first to say that it is not necessarily him who killed him.

She didn't expect that there would be someone willing to speak for her at this time.

Zhang Peilan's lips moved, seeing that the child was crying so much, she picked up the child first and coaxed the child in a low voice.

"Why didn't she kill it, my son died in front of her door, who else could there be if it wasn't her?" Zhang Lixian's mother-in-law glared at Zhang Peilan through gritted teeth.

"You are a broom star, my son was killed by you, you seduced my son back then, and it was not enough for my son to go to prison, and now you have killed my son again. ”

"I will tell you to pay for my son's life. ”

She cried angrily, wanting to pounce on Zhang Peilan, but Zhou Niannian grabbed her tightly, and she couldn't move.

Zhou Niannian saw that Dongmei's sister-in-law was also in the crowd, and asked her to come over to help pull Zhang Lixian's mother-in-law, and she wanted to go over to see Zhang Dong's body.

Judging from his appearance, Zhang Dong was wearing a thin cotton jacket and dark blue overalls, his hair was a little messy, and the clothes on his body were also a little messy, and the specific cause of death could not be seen.

The sharp-eyed Zhou Niannian saw that there seemed to be a small pool of blood under his head, she frowned, and took another step forward, wanting to squat down to take a look.

"What are you going to do? Don't touch my son!" Zhang Lixian's mother-in-law suddenly struggled for her life.

The investigators came in at this time.

Zhou Niannian had no choice but to stand up and stand to the side.
