Chapter 62: The Knowledgeable Old Man
"She'......"
As soon as he mentioned that woman, Zhou Zitong's delicate brows furrowed,
"What else is there to say......"
"For example,"
Zong Jiyuan also felt that it was better to be more direct, so he said,
"Is it possible that she is the one who poisoned her?"
"Who else but her?"
mentioned this matter, Zhou Zitong looked angry,
"The servants in this courtyard have been in this courtyard for more than ten years, and there is no second one who can do such a thing."
"Hmm,"
Zong Jiyuan nodded approvingly,
"So, tell me about her family."
"I don't know much about this, after all, when my eldest brother married her, I wasn't at home, and I didn't even meet her very often."
Because of the mention of the eldest brother, Zhou Zitong's face showed sadness again.
Knowing that he really couldn't ask anything, Zong Jiyuan changed his mind slightly, had an idea, and said,
"Okay, I heard that the second grandmother's house is also in Wangjiagang, right?"
"Yes, it's from the same village as Wang San's villain."
Zhou Zitong still nodded angrily.
Seeing that he had been angry, Zong Jiyuan comforted him in a very gentle voice,
"Brother Zitong, although rest assured, the grievances of Brother and Sister Ling will not be settled like this, we will never let go of the real murderer, but we can't let people who are not the real murderer take everything."
"Brother Ji Yuan, what do you mean......"
Of course, Zhou Zitong also heard the meaning of her words, and asked tentatively.
Zong Jiyuan smiled and waved his hand,
"It's not clear for sure, so the younger brother plans to go to Wangjiagang tomorrow to see in person, to understand the second grandmother, if he can see her, he will take her back to the county office, no matter what, that woman is also inseparable from the murder of Brother and Sister-in-law."
"Good, good,"
Hearing that he was going to arrest the woman who killed his eldest brother, Zhou Zitong nodded again and again, but after thinking about it, he suddenly became nervous again,
"But, are you going to go by yourself?! What if there is any danger? ”
"Of course I wouldn't go alone,"
Zong Jiyuan said with a very relaxed smile,
"However, in order to go smoothly, I really have to think of a way, Brother Zitong, do you have any relatives in your family who are about the same age as me, and who the second room knows but has never met?"
"This ...... Oh, yes,"
Zhou Zitong patted his forehead,
"I have a cousin from my aunt's family, named Chen Wenguan, who is seventeen years old this year, and the second room knows that there is such a person, but he has never met him, it should be okay, right?"
"Seventeen years old, Chen Wenguan?"
Zong Jiyuan repeated, and smiled again,
"Very good, I will use this identity to go to Wangjiagou, I hope that woman is at home."
Sure enough, just as Lord He said, after the wind of "arresting all those who came to make trouble", those guys really didn't dare to pick quarrels and provoke trouble. Although Lu Hong and Ke Yi were nervous all night, they were very happy to see the moment of dawn and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After having breakfast together, Zong Jiyuan set off to Wangjiagang. There was no need to say hello, Wang Yu had already automatically and consciously followed her side. And Zhou Zitong sent it outside the gate with a tragic expression of life and death, which made everyone cry and laugh.
Like Hexi Village, this Wangjiagang is also a village in the north of the city, so he knows the same thing about there and Zong Jiyuan, so he didn't need to inquire at all, and the two of them rode directly to the entrance of the village.
However, to Wang Yu's surprise, when he entered the village, Zong Jiyuan first inquired about Wang Sanxiang's home.
It seemed that the reputation of this king was really loud in the village, and without much effort, the two of them came to the gate of his house under the guidance of the villagers.
This courtyard of the Wang family is really not small, but when the door is called, it is an old woman with a sick face who comes out, Zong Jiyuan's heart can't help but sink, and he stepped forward and asked,
"Old man, may I ask if this is Wang San's home?"
"yes......"
As soon as she said two words, the old woman coughed, and it took a long time to stop, and then said,
"May I ask who you two are......"
"Oh, the junior is a friend of Wang Sanxiang, can he be at home?"
Zong Jiyuan deliberately lied.
But when the old woman heard this, she was stunned at first, and then looked at the two of them carefully, and suddenly showed a very funny expression and said,
"Friends? Don't be funny, with that kid's virtue, how can there be such a friend as the two of you. ”
Unexpectedly, the old man in front of him was still a very knowledgeable old man, and she saw through it at a glance, Wang Yu couldn't help but feel a little weak and embarrassed in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but turn to Zong Jiyuan.
But Zong Jiyuan's face did not show the slightest uneasiness, and he was still amiable and authentic,
"Old man, to tell you the truth, we are indeed not friends with him, but we have a relationship."
"yes,"
The old woman sighed and said,
"Old woman, I am his mother, what are you looking for him?"
"That's right,"
Zong Jiyuan's ability to make up nonsense, which has always been first-class, replied without hesitation,
"A few days ago, the two of us negotiated a job with Wang Sanxiang, and he promised to help us complete it yesterday, but after waiting for a whole day, he didn't see a trace, so he came to ask him early this morning, if we can't go, we can only find someone else."
"Do the work? Have you hired him to do the work? It's too easy to trust people, my unfilial son is a person who can work, eighty percent is just to cheat you out of your little salary......"
At this point, the old man coughed violently again, and this time he coughed even more so than before, that he could barely breathe.
From the moment he entered the door, Zong Jiyuan already felt that something was wrong, such a large courtyard, why did Wang Sanxiang's mother come to open the door in person, didn't there even be a servant to help, if the old man was old, there was only one person, not to mention that she was still sick.
While feeling strange, Zong Jiyuan thought about it, stepped forward to help the old man sit down on a small wooden bench in the courtyard, instinctively checked her pulse, knowing that this was a hot cough in the lungs caused by a rapid fire, and asked while carefully caressing her heart,
"Old man, why is there no one else in your family?"
"There's a little grandson who is asleep in the room,"
Old Lady Wang shook her head sadly and said,
"Our family was originally doing well, but since the death of his wife, I don't know how to learn to gamble like my life, and I lost all this bit of family belongings, and I can't afford to support too many people, so I have to dismiss the servants, so such a big yard is empty. The two sons, I don't know each other, I shouldn't have told you this, but you must have come for nothing today, I heard that the kid seemed to have suffered a lawsuit yesterday and couldn't come back, so don't count on him......"
