Chapter 198: House Arrest
This matter has not yet been decided, none of you have seen us kill with your own eyes, why do you swear so much, could it be that you have a ghost in your heart, so you can't wait to put this matter on our heads, let us bear the blame for you? ”
Mu Tianyue was calm, looking at the few people from the village coldly, and his words were full of temptation.
After all, they are all illiterate villagers, and when they heard Mu Tianyue's words, they couldn't help but restrain a little, for fear that they would become the object of suspicion if they were not careful.
"Someone died suddenly in this Qianjia Village, and the murderer must be found no matter what, so we must report to the official, otherwise the matter will not be clear."
The village chief thought about it carefully, and still made this decision, human life is a major matter, and Lin Zhong's family still has a mother alive, and he is not a person without relatives and no reason, so in their opinion, reporting to the official is the best choice at the moment.
"Village chief, and listen to me, this Lin Zhong died strangely, this matter is not as simple as we thought, if it is reported to the official, there are many people, but it will be wrong, so it is better to leave this matter to me to investigate, I hire them to work, and I naturally have the responsibility to take care of their lives."
Qian Qianqian stood up, her brows furrowed, and she said it very simply, but those villagers didn't seem to buy it.
"No, you are very suspicious, if you are investigated, Lin Zhong's life may be in vain."
"That's right, this matter can't be handed over to you, even if you don't report it to the official, you have to find an intermediary to investigate."
The villagers are very dissatisfied, it seems that this time it is really not a good end, Qian Qianqian and a few people are also completely involved in a trap, not to mention the matter of finding out the shell ash, it is good to be able to protect themselves.
"The middleman? Do you have the right person? ”
Mu Tianyue's expression was calm, his eyes were not shocked, and he looked at the people in front of him lightly, with an indescribable temptation on his face.
The villagers looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, a man was finally introduced, this man looked at the face, Qian Qianqian seemed to have never seen it, although it was a coarse ant linen clothes, but this temperament did not look like a rural villager at all.
"This is Zhao Shun, the most knowledgeable person in our Lin Jiagou, but he is suffering from poverty and did not go to Beijing to catch the exam, so he can only work hard in the fields, and he will investigate, but it is most suitable, and he will not favor anyone."
The villagers from other villages praised the man named Zhao Shun in front of them fiercely, and it really looked like that, but Qian Qianqian and Mu Tianyue were suspicious.
Although looking at Zhao Shun's temperament, he does look like a scholar, but he has not spoken up before, and he was suddenly pushed out by those villagers, which is strange, he should have some secrets.
"Okay, then him, if he is really talented and can find out the truth, Boss Mu and I hereby promise that when General Xiao comes back from the expedition, he will be introduced to the general, so that he can get an official and a half-position in Lianzhou City, so that it will not be considered a buried talent."
Qian Qianqian raised her head, deliberately raised her voice, and said it categorically, most of the villagers were surprised when they heard it, but some of them had subtle expressions that made people wonder through.
"Thank you Boss Qian, since this is the case, then I will do my best to give you justice."
Zhao Shun is also a clever person, leaning over slightly, arching his hand and responding, there are quite a few scholars, if they change their clothes, it must be very different.
"Then everyone is tired tonight, please go back first, I will arrange for someone to carry Lin Zhong's body out and place it for a good life, and wait for tomorrow morning, and then come back to investigate in detail."
Zhao Shun turned around and opened his mouth to arrange, those villagers seemed to obey him very much, and it didn't take long for them to disperse, leaving only those villagers from Linjiagou to help here.
"Boss Qian, don't stay here for a few of you, let's move to the thatched hut over there, you are suspicious at the moment, so you have to send someone to guard it, so that before the case is clear, you will disappear, and then it will be troublesome."
Zhao Shun glanced at Qian Qianqian and Mu Tianyue lightly, although they were kind and pleasant, but the words were full of mysteries, so that Qian Qianqian and the three of them were under house arrest.
Qian Qianqian and Mu Tianyue glanced at each other, the expressions on their faces became mysterious, and they nodded one after another, but they did not refuse Zhao Shun's proposal, nor did they make trouble at all.
"You really seem to be thoughtful, you have a clear eye for investigating the case, and you work hard, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Before leaving, Qian Qianqian passed by Zhao Shun, pursed her lips and smiled, she couldn't see the slightest anger in her eyes, and her every move was gentle and calm.
Zhao Shun nodded slightly, and watched Qian Qianqian and his party walk to the thatched hut not far away, and gave a look to the few villagers who stayed beside him, and those villagers immediately surrounded the thatched hut.
"Damn, what's this called? If General Xiao was in Lianzhou, would we have ended up in such a situation? ”
Zhao Ye quenched his saliva, his hands were on his waist, his face was full of resentment, he had been enduring it outside just now, and now that there were no outsiders in the house, he couldn't help it anymore.
"Okay, now is not the time to complain, we have to think about what to do next, if it is not as I expected, Lin Zhong's death will eventually be on our heads."
Qian Qianqian spoke slowly, although her tone was gentle, but her expression was indescribably dignified, Zhao Shun was both righteous and evil, and he didn't know what his identity was, so they had to plan early.
"It was I who was impulsive, I didn't listen to you at the beginning, so people had a chance to take advantage of it, that Zhao Shun, at first glance, was bribed, if you want to find out about this, you must start with him."
Mu Tianyue was a little self-blaming, if he could calm down and wait and see, maybe he wouldn't fall into such a trap so easily.
"But we're locked up here now, we can't get out, and we can't touch anything related to the case, how can we do it?"
Shiraishi was also confused, they now seemed to be gradually pushed into a dead end by a pair of hands, and they could not advance or retreat, so they could only be slaughtered by others.
"It would be nice if the general could come back at this time, and see if those villains dare to do things behind their backs."
Zhao Ye sighed, his expression was very distressed, everyone knew that if Xiao Mohan was still there, this matter would be very different, but now that Xiao Mohan was on the border, how could he leave the war behind and rush back? So to solve this matter, it is still up to them.
"Okay, don't talk about it anymore, it's not early, it's been a lot of the night, you're all tired, let's rest first, and we'll talk about it early tomorrow morning."
Qian Qianqian pondered in her heart, feeling that the more urgent this matter is, the more clueless she is, it is better to calm down first, think about it in her heart, maybe wait until tomorrow, and the peak will turn around.
Although Zhao Ye was an anxious person, he couldn't think of anything at the moment, so he listened to Qian Qianqian's words, slowly sat down in the corner, and took a nap against the wall.
There was only an old wooden bed in this room, and Mu Tianyue and Bai Shi also made up the floor with fun and gave the bed to Qian Qianqian.
Early the next morning, it was dawn outside, and Qian Qianqian and a few people gradually woke up, this thatched hut was only temporarily built, leaking everywhere, and they had no quilt, although the weather was getting hotter, it was extremely cold to sleep at night.
"Get out of the way, we're going in, why are you stopping us?"
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, Qian Qianqian and Mu Tianyue walked to the wooden window, poked their heads out and looked out, only to see Liu Han and Aunt Liu coming.
"There are suspects locked up here, and no one is allowed to enter until the human life lawsuit is cleared."
The villagers guarding outside were also very domineering and had an extremely tough attitude, and Liu Han and Aunt Liu had no intention of giving up, and the two sides were about to fight.
"Brother Liu Han, Aunt Liu, go back quickly, don't make trouble here, we're fine."
Qian Qianqian shouted, Liu Han and Aunt Liu are by no means the opponents of these villagers, if they really fight, they will definitely suffer.
"Qianqian, what the hell is going on, how can you get involved in a life lawsuit, weren't you all fine yesterday?"
Aunt Liu was very anxious, her eyes were moist, Liu Han helped Aunt Liu, and she was so anxious that she was sweating.
"This is all a misunderstanding, the truth will be found out, Aunt Liu, don't worry, let's go."
Qian Qianqian gave Liu Han a look, and Liu Han also understood what she meant, stopped Aunt Liu, and took a few steps back.
"Then we'll go back first, you take care." Liu Han turned around and left with Aunt Liu.
"These bastards, they can't even have people who come to see us, what does Zhao Shun mean?"
Zhao Ye was a little excited, he didn't sleep well last night, and he was even more irritable when he got up this morning, and when he saw the movement at the door just now, he became more and more breathless.
"We have to find a way to go out and have a look, we can't sit back and wait."
Mu Tianyue slowly shook the folding fan in his hand, and seemed to have an idea in his heart, exchanged glances with Qian Qianqian, and then quieted down.
Although Zhao Shun put Qian Qianqian and the others under house arrest here, he still didn't lose them three meals a day, and as soon as the hour came, he sent someone to deliver the food, but the person who delivered the food passed the food in through the wooden window, never talking to them, and never opening the door.
Qian Qianqian has always been vigilant in her heart, so she will take off the silver hairpin on her head every time and test it in those meals, so as not to poison someone, but she didn't find any clues.
In the evening, in the dead of night, Qian Qianqian and the others had already discussed, and Zhao Ye took the lead, rushed out first, attracting the attention of the guards at the door, Mu Tianyue and Qian Qianqian then fled, leaving Bai Shi alone in the house to deal with the aftermath.
Zhao Ye's fist and foot skills were good, and he quickly led away the villagers who were guarding outside, Mu Tianyue poked his head out, and suddenly made a move, solving the two people who stayed at the door.
After all, they were just ordinary villagers, they didn't have so many hearts, and they couldn't think so thoroughly, so Mu Tianyue and Qian Qianqian easily escaped.
I don't know where Zhao Shun placed Lin Zhong's corpse, but even if Lin Zhong's corpse was found at this time, some traces had been erased, so after thinking about it, they decided to go directly to Zhao Shun to see if Zhao Shun was a human or a ghost.
"I really didn't expect that you still have some fist and foot skills, I thought you were a weak businessman."
Qian Qianqian walked beside Mu Tianyue, her face was still a little surprised, Mu Tianyue didn't think so, there was no superfluous expression on her face, she just walked in front of herself, her steps were very hurried.
