Until the workers who hit the ice cellar walked for a long time, Hachi was still nowhere to be seen.

Li Mengyuan didn't care, but the dark wind was high this month, so he was always a little worried.

First, she was afraid that he would have an accident, and when the Jiangling Marquis Mansion came to ask for someone, she really had no way to explain.

Second, she was afraid that he would leave suddenly, and she, a newlywed, would have to find a way to deal with it.

"Sister, Ma has also gone back, where has this brother-in-law gone? It's nowhere to be seen. ”

Li Wan had already looked at the gate of the courtyard several times.

"Don't worry, your brother-in-law is not a child."

Ahem, she does treat each other as a child.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a knock at the courtyard door.

Li Wan hurriedly greeted him, "Who?" ”

"It's me."

The slightly deep voice is inexplicably steady.

"Qu Catcher? How did you get here? ”

Li Wan hurriedly opened the door, and saw that there was not only Qu Zhutou alone, but also Xiao Liu and his party beside him, with solemn faces, unusually running through the door.

"Let's talk when we go in."

Qu Qingliu lowered his voice and looked left and right again.

A few people entered the courtyard in a muffled voice, Li Wan didn't know what was going on, and quickly closed the door when he saw this.

"What's wrong? Qu catches the head? ”

Li Meng greeted him and said busily.

"Last night, Aunt Li next door to your house had a fight with you, and she came to the yamen."

Qu Qingliu was concise and to the point, explaining the intention.

"There's such a thing."

Li Meng didn't deny it, there was so much movement last night, presumably there were many neighbors around to see the excitement, plus there was Ma's, it would be too stupid to deny it.

"She complained that you broke her arm and asked the county magistrate to make the decision for her, but it was late last night, and the official at the door was afraid of disturbing the lord, so he didn't go to spread the word and asked her to come again this morning."

Qu Qingliu continued.

"Hmm. But why are you here now? Li Meng also expected it, but he was not surprised.

"She didn't come today, but her man came, saying that he disappeared after having a fight with you last night, so we looked for another day today."

Qu Qingliu's face was a little solemn as he spoke.

"Found it?"

Li Meng had a vague guess.

"Her body was found, on the slope of the mountain five miles behind your house, and it is preliminarily inferred that she was strangled to death."

"Ahh

Li Wan couldn't help but cover her mouth and moved closer to Li Wan again and again.

"Strangled?"

Li Meng raised his eyebrows, "But what does this have to do with us?" ”

"We asked people in the neighborhood and said that they had never seen Aunt Li go there, and she obviously had scars on her body that she was struggling and scuffling, as if she had been carried there after being killed, and we were inconvenient to disclose other details." Qu Qingliu looked around the courtyard and said, "What about your father-in-law?" ”

"Ah...... You mean brother-in-law......"

Li Wan's eyes widened, and when she saw Li Meng winking at her, she stopped again.

"Today, the workers who are playing the ice cellar are coming, and they are missing an accessory, so I will ask him to go to Jiangling City to buy them, and when he comes back, I will let him go to Yamen in person."

Li Meng tugged at the corners of his mouth and said,

"Aunt Li did have a dispute with my family, but she was suddenly killed, and after the dispute with my family, it seems that it is coincidentally tight, so let's do it, if there is progress in this case and we need to go to court, we will go to court, and those who are clear will clear themselves, and they are not afraid of some gossip."

After Li Meng finished speaking, he bowed to Qu Qingliu again.

"How can Sister Li have anything to do with this matter, our leader took advantage of the night to kindly remind you, for fear that these rumors will spread. It's just ruined my sister's reputation. "Because Li Meng is married, it is not appropriate to call the girl girl, Xiaoliu is also slippery, I am afraid that Li Meng will misunderstand, after all, it is common to drink some tea and eat some cakes when passing by on weekdays.

Eating people has a short mouth, not to mention that the Li Meng sisters are the most amiable and talkative, and they feel comfortable talking to them on weekdays, so how can they doubt them because of a little chasing the wind.

The boss is too ignorant, and he actually watched such a good girl get married, but it's a pity.

"I know, thank you for the reminder. However, human lives are at stake, and we will fully cooperate with your investigation. ”

Li Meng nodded and said sincerely.

After seeing off Qu Qingliu and the others, Li Meng sat down.

After taking a few sips of hot tea, I noticed that my hands were shaking.

After all, the chance of encountering a homicide around her in modern times is still too small, not to mention that she vaguely feels that Aunt Li's death is not so simple, like coming to Xiaoba.

The most important thing is that Hachi is not here at the moment, she doesn't believe that according to Hachi's background, she would kill an unarmed country woman, and kill such a high-profile person.

It's just that the person who is good in the afternoon, why did he suddenly disappear.

What she is worried about is that if Xiaoba doesn't come back in two days, how will Qu Qingliu come to investigate when the time comes?

Li Wan was also anxious in her heart, she had countless guesses, but she didn't dare to think deeply.

"Sister, you said that brother-in-law is ......"

Seeing Li Meng's solemn face, she knew that she was also worried in her heart, so Li Wan didn't dare to be too anxious, and only said in a hurry.

"He'll be fine."

Li Meng always felt that Xiaoba didn't look like a person who didn't say goodbye, even if she really wanted to leave, she should say hello, because this person's murder seemed to involve them, so no matter how confused she was, she should also hold up her spirits.

"Do you want us to let Brother Run go and look for it?"

Li Wan said again and glanced outside the house again.

It began to rain in a dripping manner.

"Go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow to sell cakes!" Li Meng yawned.

"Sister, do you still have to sell cakes in this situation? I'm afraid that tomorrow will set up a stall, and the aunts next door don't know how ugly they say? Li Wan's face was a little embarrassed.

"If you don't go out to set up a stall, you have a ghost in your heart! What's more, the more unpleasant they say, the less we care, and if we do, we fall into their arms. ”

Li Meng smiled at this time, she is also a person with modern education, and she is not so good as to deal with the ancient peasant women, she is open, how can she be afraid that the dust will fall!

"That'...... I went to sleep. ”

Li Wan was also tired for a day today, and she also felt tired at this time, but thinking of Aunt Li's tragic death, she was a little scared in her heart, and said, "Sister, my brother-in-law is not here today, let's sleep together." ”

"Okay."

Li Meng saw that there seemed to be a look of horror between her eyebrows, in the end, it was the little girl's family, although there may not be no stolen goods in the Shen Mansion, but now that she is under her own protection, it is inevitable to take care of her.

"Then I'll go to sleep first, sister, come on."

Li Wan got up and stretched, and obeyed Li Meng's instructions to stretch his muscles and bones before going to bed.

"I'll come when I'm going to wash up."

Li Meng nodded, and when Li Wan got into bed, she turned around and went out to Xiaoba's room.

If it was a premeditated escape, there might be some clues left in his room, and she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight if she didn't take a look.
