Under the high platform, the people of the frontier city stood neatly, but the expressions on their faces were different.

Some people looked at Duan Bailan on the high platform and a kind of villager behind him with suspicious looks, some people looked at them with a look of sudden realization, and some of them firmly believed what they believed, and felt that Duan Bailan was speaking falsely and could not be trusted.

But it doesn't matter, this matter is not so easy to do, as long as the people of the border city have doubts and wavering about whether Liu Nianru is a traitor or not, the final facts will tell them what is true.

After the people under the high platform had almost finished digesting the news, Duan Bailan continued to speak.

"I hope that every citizen in the border city can seek everything and not wronged everyone."

"Our Northern Army is here to defend the country and protect you people, so we need your trust, and everyone who has been wronged will not feel good, I hope you can think about it."

After speaking, Duan Bailan left, the people under the high platform, you look at me, I look at you, they were relatively speechless for a while, and they didn't say anything.

Of course, Duan Bailan just left with the Northern Expeditionary Army, and as for the villagers in the burned village, Duan Bailan let them wander around the streets.

Because, Duan Bailan knew that those people who were now indecisive definitely needed a little fact to support them, and these villagers were the best evidence.

Duan Bailan also negotiated with these villagers, and they all said that if anyone came to ask, they would definitely tell the truth and help Liu Nianru clear his name.

Of course, Duan Bailan didn't let them publicize this matter everywhere, if they did that, it would attract the disgust of many people, and it would only make them more determined that Liu Nianru was indeed a traitor, and it would be worth the loss.

……

Liu Nianru sat in her room and didn't sleep, although she was actually a little sleepy, but she couldn't sleep in bed, so she sat on the stool in a daze.

"Miss Liu." Before I could think of anything, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Nianru sighed, she hadn't sat for long, and got up and opened the door resignedly.

It turned out to be Wang Xun.

Liu Nianru looked at Wang Xun, what happened Wang Xun shouldn't report to Duan Bailan, how did he find himself here.

"That, Lord Duan is out, I'll come to you." Wang Xun coughed dryly and explained.

"Say it."

"That, the young girl committed suicide." Wang Xun was concise and to the point.

"Take me to see it." Liu Nianru frowned, why did Qingqing commit suicide? Generally speaking, people who commit suicide do so to keep secrets and prevent themselves from revealing who is behind the scenes, or who are members of an organization who will kill themselves after the matter is revealed.

So Qingqing committed suicide, which means that she didn't do this alone, and there must be another hidden story behind this.

Who is it? Is it to target the Northern Army, or is it to target her Liu Nianru?

Not long after, Liu Nianru followed Wang Xun to the firewood room

, Yes, Wang Xun locked Qingqing in the firewood room before, and planned to come over to interrogate her after finishing things, but when Wang Xun came, all that was waiting for Wang Xun was a cold corpse.

Wang Xun knew why Duan Bailan went, so he could only go to Liu Nianru.

Pushing open the door of the firewood room, there was Qingqing's corpse lying on the ground.

Liu Nianru observed Qingqing's corpse.

His lips were purple and he was foaming at the mouth, which looked like he had died of poisoning.

The poison should be hidden on Qingqing's back molars, and once the matter is revealed, he can bite through the poison at any time and die himself.

When she was close to Qingqing to observe, Liu Nianru suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some tattoo or something like something on Qingqing's collarbone.

Pulling open the clothes next to him with his hand, the tattoo pattern was fully revealed.

It is a serpentine tattoo.

Serpentine tattoo ......

That's right!

That burned down village! It seems like...... There was also a serpentine pattern, above the gate of a certain house!

It was found by Liu Nianru when she was looking for Qingqing in the village that day, but Liu Nianru didn't care about it at the time, and now that she thinks about it, it seems that the place where the smoke came out at that time was also that family!

There must be some correlation between the two!

This snake pattern...... Could it be the logo of an organization?

Liu Nianru didn't know much about this matter, but Duan Bailan knew more, so it would be better to ask Duan Bailan when the time came.

Liu Nianru checked Qingqing's body again to prevent anything from missing, but there were nothing else that was wrong or worth paying attention to.

When I turned around, I saw Wang Xun still standing at the door.

"By the way, Wang Xun, do you know any organizations that are marked by snake patterns?" Wang Xun has been following Duan Bailan for so long, does he also know something?

"Huh? Serpentine pattern? I seem to remember that there was such an organization...... But what exactly...... Well, I forgot. Wang Xun blinked and said sincerely.

Liu Nianru smiled at Wang Xun, and walked out directly past him, yes, let's ask Duan Bailan to go.

"Wang Xun, remember to dispose of Qingqing's body." Not a few steps away, Liu Nianru suddenly thought of something, turned back to Wang Xun and said.

Wang Xun nodded and agreed, and then went into the firewood room to move the body, as for what to do with it...... That Liu Nianru didn't plan to care, anyway, the matter had already been handed over to Wang Xun.

Liu Nianru turned around, but she didn't find Duan Bailan's figure, and she didn't know what to do, but when she was about to go out to look for it, she ran into an old military doctor.

"Miss Liu, what are you going to do?" The old military doctor smiled very kindly, but Liu Nianru didn't think so.

"I just want to go out and walk around."

"Miss Liu, your injuries are not yet healed, it is best to lie down in the room obediently and not move. Miss Liu, let's go back to the room and rest. The old medic smiled.

Liu Nianru sighed, "Okay, I know." ”

Then he turned around and went back to his room, giving up his plan to go out to find Duan Bailan.

Liu Nianru knows that this old military doctor is stubborn, if you don't listen to his doctor's advice, then don't do it next time

I want to heal him again.

It's weird, but the old military doctor is also for the good of the patient.

Liu Nianru went back to the room, and if Duan Bailan came back from finishing things, she should have come to her...... Right?

Evening.

"Knock knock." A powerful knock sounded at the door.

"Please come in." Liu Nianru was eating the snacks sent by Chen Qin, and when she heard a knock on the door, she shouted.

The sound of pushing the door sounded, and Liu Nianru raised her eyes to look at the door, it was a tall figure.

"Would you like to have something together?" Liu Nianru pushed the pastries on the table in the direction of the door.
