Chapter 92: Looking for clues
Yang Liu had a bitter face, his eyebrows and eyes were full of apology, and before he could speak, he was already flattening his mouth and wanted to cry.
At this time, Qin Miaomiao was also upset, so she didn't have the energy and patience to comfort Yang Liu, and her voice was a little stiff when she spoke: "Yang Liu, don't cry yet, I have a few words to ask you, and I have to rush to the town after asking." ”
Yang Liu wiped her tears, nodded vigorously with red eyes, and she couldn't help it: "Miao Miao, it's all my fault that caused you and Su Langzhong so much trouble."
"Yang Liu, when did your uncle come home, and when did they die?" Qin Miaomiao felt that there must be something strange about this matter, and hoped to get some clues from Yang Liu.
"They left my house on the third day, and when they left, Uncle Chen Fu no longer vomited blood, and when he left, he thanked my father-in-law, saying that Su Langzhong's medical skills were good."
This shows that her prescription has worked, and her condition has improved, and it seems that the problem is the days after they return home.
Qin Miaomiao frowned and thought hard, it seems that she has to go to the deceased's hometown to take a look and inquire, there will definitely be clues.
asked Yang Liu the address of his uncle's house, and told her not to tell anyone. She was afraid that if it reached the deceased's home, their family would be on guard and deliberately erase the clues.
And without further ado, she has to go over as soon as possible, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find anything after a long time.
Hurriedly went to the county office and met with Su Mu, the environment in the prison was even worse than Qin Miaomiao thought, cold and damp, dirty and messy, but fortunately, he was explained by Chen Yuanbo, his bedding was newly replaced, and the food was cleaner than others.
But the general environment is still bad to death, and people who choke on the smell cough when they open their mouths.
Su Mu was calm on the surface when he arrived, and told Qin Miaomiao not to check the clues by herself, for fear that she would be in danger.
Looking at the reaction of the Chen family, they will definitely not be simple victims, they must have participated in this murder, and they can be ruthless to their families, not to mention Qin Miaomiao, an outsider, they will not take care of it, the human heart is the most terrible thing, and its sinister is unfathomable.
Qin Miaomiao agreed in order not to let Su Mu worry, but she couldn't count on Chen Yuanbo alone in this matter, even if he had the heart to help him, but he had other things to do every day, so if he could contribute, Su Mu could be released one day earlier.
"Tell Shopkeeper Li of Suwentang about my imprisonment, and you can ask him for help if you are in trouble these days." Before leaving, Su Mu instructed.
Qin Miaomiao originally wanted to ask him what the relationship was with Shopkeeper Lin, but there were other people in the prison, and he was afraid that Su Mu would have an inconvenient reason to say, so he nodded obediently and didn't say more and ask more.
went to Suwentang to tell Su Mu's words and told them to Shopkeeper Lin, but Shopkeeper Lin just smiled and agreed, and didn't say anything. Before leaving, Qin Miaomiao also told Shopkeeper Lin where she went, she felt that something had happened to her, at least someone knew her general whereabouts.
After Qin Miaomiao left, Lin Yao returned to the inner room with a serious face, picked up the pen and grinded, and quickly wrote a letter and sent it out.
Qin Miaomiao did not go home again, but went directly to Chen Fu's uncle, that is, the village where the deceased was located.
The deceased's family lived in Kanzi Village, fifty miles away from Luerling Town, and she had to rush over to the carriage at noon every day, otherwise she would have to walk, and it would take the middle of the night to walk everywhere on foot, so she had to choose to take a carriage to get there.
She inquired with the coachman about the departure time, and saw that there was still some time before leaving, so she rushed to the ready-to-wear store and chose a men's dress.
The driver of the carriage and the deceased belonged to the same village, and several other people in the carriage were also from the same village.
Qin Miaomiao deliberately sat at the front closest to the coachman, so that it was convenient to talk, and even if she couldn't find clues, she could learn about the deceased's family situation.
Qin Miaomiao lowered her voice and tried her best to look like a man: "Big brother coachman, when can I get to Kanzi Village?"
The coachman shouted at the cattle and didn't look back: "Little brother, your first time here?" String relatives? ”
Qin Miaomiao secretly glanced around, secretly thinking in his heart, he can't say that he is a relative, then he will definitely ask himself whose house he goes to and who he is a relative, and when the time comes, he can't tell if he can save himself: "No, I am collecting medicinal materials, go to a village, I want to go to Kanzi Village today to see if there are any medicinal materials."
Hearing that Qin Miaomiao was collecting medicinal materials, the coachman seemed very interested, looked back at Qin Miaomiao, and rubbed back curiously: "Collecting medicinal materials?" I didn't hear who sells medicinal herbs in our village, how did you collect that thing?"
Hearing the coachman ask like this, the other people in the car also looked at Qin Miaomiao, obviously wanting to hear it too: "I am a guy from Suwentang in the town, and the boss asked me to take a walk around the village and collect medicinal herbs if there is one." The price of medicinal materials is much higher than the price of food, and you can also go up the mountain to dig some when you have time, and we will collect them all when you get them to Suwentang. "Qin Miaomiao is inconvenient to reveal her identity, so she can only use Suwentang as a disguise.
Everyone saw that Qin Miaomiao and the coachman were chatting hotly, and they all came over to ask, but the more they talked about the topic, the farther they went, Qin Miaomiao still wanted to inquire about the situation in the deceased's family.
Seeing that the people in the car let down their guard, they tentatively spoke: "How many families are there in Kanzi Village, is there a family surnamed Chen, their family members have gone to our shop to get medicine, I don't know if they have recovered from their illness."
At the mention of the Chen family, the coachman looked stunned, and then spoke: "There are several households, they are all relatives, and they are a big family in Kanzi Village, and the household you are talking about is the old Chen family." Boss Chen was sick a while ago, very sick, and was picked up by his younger brother, saying that he could be cured by going to a miracle doctor, and the illness was better a few days before he came back, but the person was still gone. ”
"Gone?" Qin Miaomiao pretended to be surprised: "The medicine that his son just grabbed in my pharmacy a few days ago, why is it that the people are gone in the past few days?"
Speaking of this, the coachman sighed, and seemed to be very emotional: "He is sick by himself, he vomits blood and drinks, he pities his son and daughter-in-law, the poor family can't eat, and he has to buy medicine for him.
Qin Miaomiao's expression changed slightly, and she continued to set the coachman's words: "How can anyone damn it, it's not right for you to say that, big brother."
"Huh, isn't that right? Little brother, don't you know who that Boss Chen is! The coachman mentioned that these parents were very energetic, and he couldn't stop talking: "He drank all his life, and when he was drunk, he beat his daughter-in-law and children, and the people in the village advised him to drink less, but who said that he still scolded whom, went to other people's homes, and then everyone ignored him." Until this summer, he fell ill, he lost his spirit, and his family stopped for a while, and a few days ago he was seriously ill, and his brother came to pick him up. When he came back, he was a little better, but he didn't cherish it, he just stopped vomiting blood, and when he went home and started drinking with his fox friends, he died in a few days. ”
"Those friends of his, who are so bold, dare to drink with him, and are not afraid that he will die and the family will blackmail them?" Qin Miaomiao secretly wrote down the coachman's words, and gradually led the topic to the question she wanted to know.
Speaking of Boss Chen's friends, the coachman showed special disdain and waved the whip in his hand: "Friends? What kind of people are they, idle all day long, lazy to eat, that kind of people who have eaten the last meal and the next meal, the poor jingle sound, what can they be afraid of?"
Qin Miaomiao climbed up along the coachman's words: "Eh, they are all unemployed vagrants, then this Kanzi Village is chaotic enough."
Hearing Qin Miaomiao say that Kanzi Village was not good, the coachman glanced at her and seemed a little displeased: "Hmph, a few stinky fish are a pot of soup."
After speaking, he no longer talked to Qin Miaomiao, but concentrated on driving.
Qin Miaomiao also closed her mouth knowingly, and if she asked any more, she was afraid that she would make others suspicious.
It was close to dusk, and the carriage stopped, stopping and stopping along the way, and the people in the carriage were almost gone, leaving only a few villagers from the same village as the coachman, of course, Qin Miaomiao was among them.
The group got out of the car at the entrance of the village, and before Qin Miaomiao could ask for directions, an old woman first talked to Qin Miaomiao: "Young man, are you talking about collecting medicinal materials for cash?" I've got a little bit of it, can you go and see it?"
Looking up and down at the old woman, an old man who does his duty, although he is not kind, but he looks like a kind person, but people's hearts are unpredictable, Qin Miaomiao is still a little guarded: "Auntie, I didn't bring any money today, but I can go to your house to see, if it's really valuable, you can get it to the shop in my town another day to exchange for silver, and save you a trip empty."
If a person is not familiar with the earth, he must not show his wealth, so as not to be targeted by people with ill intentions.
When the old woman heard Qin Miaomiao's words, she hesitated for a moment: "That's okay, you can go with me to have a look."
She followed the old woman step by step, turned left and walked along the wool road in the village towards the village.
Occasionally, there are villagers passing by who greet the old woman, it seems that the old woman's popularity in the village is not bad, just turned a corner, a man came to him, not tall, lean, far away Qin Miaomiao couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but the old woman sneered.
When he got closer, seeing the man's appearance clearly, Qin Miaomiao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, this thin man was none other than He Caitou, who had his hands broken by Su Mu last year!
Now he looks a lot thinner than last year, but Qin Miaomiao will never be mistaken about his appearance.
Qin Miaomiao buried her head very low and passed by He Caitou, He Caitou didn't notice her, probably because of her men's dress, He Caitou didn't even look at her.
Before she had gone far, the old woman opened her mouth and counted: "This ruffian, drinking with Boss Chen and drinking everyone to death, he is still here and not leaving, it is really shameless!"
Qin Miaomiao was shocked, secretly glanced back at He Caitou's back, and walked quickly to the old woman's side: "He is the one who the coachman said just now and drank with the Chen family's patients?"
