Chapter 180: Elopement
Nie Qing, one of the dead in the fire, it seems that Ah Qiao cried that day for him.
The relationship between the two is well known, and it is okay to be sad, but why did Ah Qiao hide it? At first, Fenghua couldn't think of why, until she heard Grandma's sentence "Two people died like this".
"Eh, why hasn't the Liu family's oil mill been opened?" Someone probed his brain at the door of Widow Liu's oil mill.
After the fire was extinguished, the nearby Youfang Street was more or less affected, such as the lingering smell of snuff and the blackened walls.
But the people still have to make a living, and they have to live their lives, so those who survive continue to do what they have to do.
Diagonally opposite the oil mill saw Widow Liu's old buyer, half regretful and half excited, he came out and explained: "Ahem, Widow Liu sneaks to her concubine's house every night, and the fire burned down the street of her concubine's house a few days ago. She never came back after that night, and both of them were burned to death. You want to buy oil, or do you want to come and see us?"
"What a pair of bitter mandarin ducks."
"What mandarin ducks, I think God can't get used to their adulterer Yin woman, so he accepted them."
The number of people who died and burned is still being counted and confirmed, and the government has not made it public, so the people do not know whether there is a widow Liu among the dead and injured. But she hadn't been back for two days, and everyone thought she was dead.
Because of these rumors, and Ah Qiao was carrying a burden that day, he did not propose to go home in the past two days. Fenghua speculated that Ah Qiao didn't seem to want people to know that she was alive.
"She snuck to her concubine's house every night." Fenghua stared at this sentence.
Could it be that she was there on the night of the fire? It doesn't make sense, the strong Nie Qing couldn't escape, how could a woman who was powerless escape?
Either way, she should be the closest person to the dead among the living, and she still has to ask.
"Uncle Tang, how is Ah Qiao?" Fenghua went to Anhetang and asked.
"Her fever has subsided, but she is still a little weak and never speaks."
Fenghua went upstairs and asked a few words about Ah Qiao's physical condition, also because she was a woman, Ah Qiao opened her mouth and thanked her briefly.
"Ah Qiao, where are you going to go when you get better?" Fenghua poured her a glass of water.
"I...... I'm going to go back to my hometown." Ah Qiao hesitated, but still said.
It's not a lie, it's just not all. But she was adopted by the Liu family as a child daughter-in-law when she was seven or eight years old, and her hometown should be even stranger to her.
Fenghua opened the skylight and said brightly, "Aren't you going back to the oil mill?"
She sent someone into Liu's oil mill to see, Ah Qiao did not pack anything from the oil mill, and it was not like she had already planned to return to her hometown.
As soon as these words came out, she clearly felt that Ah Qiao's body shook, fear appeared in her eyes, and her lips trembled and said, "You...... Do you know who I am?"
"You don't have to be so afraid, I met you when the fire was about to end, and I will know who you are when I ask around." Feng Hua comforted her while observing her, "Nie Qing is dead, you must be very sad, you don't want to stay in the sad place, and you don't want to mention the past, it's understandable."
Hearing Nie Qing, Ah Qiao whimpered and cried, unable to restrain himself.
Fenghua handed her a handkerchief, and waited for her to finish crying before speaking: "Don't be too sad, he must want you to live a good life. It's just that I have something I want to know from you."
"Yes, he said he wanted me to live well." Ah Qiao choked up, "What does the girl want to know?"
"Where were you on the night of the fire?" Fenghua asked.
After a long time, Ah Qiao still blushed and said, "I'm going to find him for a private ...... I really want to live with him, but I don't want him to be criticized by people, so I want to live with him in a different place where no one knows."
Elope? This was something Fenghua didn't expect, but it also showed that she was there that night.
"And then?"
"Nie Qing didn't want to leave, so I was angry and said that he lied to me, and if he didn't leave, I would go by myself, and then I would go home. But I didn't expect that there was a fire in his place......" Ah Qiao looked sad.
"Then why are you leaving?" Fenghua looked at her nose and nose, nose and mouth, and concluded that the sadness on her face was not fake.
"When the others are gone, I will only be humiliated if I stay here, so why do I go too far?" Xu remembered that before being with Nie Qing, he was harassed by many men, and when he said this, Ah Qiao's tone was a little higher.
It's true that she is sad, and it's not a lie that she wants to leave, but Fenghua can tell from her flickering eyes that what she said is not exactly the truth.
"What does Nie Qing Suri do for a living?" Fenghua asked again.
"I don't know." Ah Qiao replied.
If he answered too quickly, he must have lied to cover it up, Fenghua continued: "The neighbors said that he fell in love with the Liu family oil mill, so he deliberately approached you?"
"No, he's not like that, and he doesn't lack ......" Ah Qiao was a little excited, but soon realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly covered his mouth, "What kind of person is he, he doesn't need to explain to others. Why did the girl ask me so much about my private affairs?"
Oh? Saying such a thing made Fenghua impressed.
"Truth be told, my husband is in charge of investigating this fire, and I thought maybe you could provide some useful clues." Fenghua replied, "Since you don't know, then forget it, you can rest for a long time."
I saw Ah Qiao glancing at the burden next to the pillow, and stopped talking.
Fenghua Haosheng closed the door, Ye Yanqi was already waiting for her in the corridor, she bowed slightly, greeted her and said, "Xiaoqi, isn't it busy with official business? How can I come here when I have time?"
"It's a tricky case, and it's a headache for me. Do you know that Nie, Liu, and Yang near the warehouse actually found a large amount of fire oil, and someone deliberately set it on fire! This case has alarmed the Holy One, and I have ordered me to find out the murderer and give an account to the people." Ye Yanqi said according to Fenghua's instructions in advance.
"How can there be such a vicious person? Xiaoqi, you must be careful." Fenghua looked very concerned.
"It's just that the fire burned so big that all the people died, and we couldn't find any evidence." Ye Yanqi said regretfully.
At this time, there was a slight sound in Ah Qiao's room, and the two looked at each other and left here.
"What do you think she really knows?" Ye Yanqi asked.
"Not sure." Fenghua shook her head, "But she told a lie, but it doesn't matter, she really cares about Nie Qing." If she really knew anything, we acted in this play, she would definitely tell her and avenge Nie Qing. If you don't know, so be it."
At this time, Jiang He hurriedly came to say, "A masked man entered Liu's oil mill, rummaged through, and left."
"No wonder, she was frightened by me, and when she first woke up, she was so frightened that at first she thought she was frightened by the fire." Fenghua figured it out all of a sudden, and looked at Ye Yanqi, "It seems that this play is right, we don't know what she knows, it seems that someone knows."
Ye Yanqi pondered for a while and said, "It seems that her name has to be added to the death list."
Not long after, Uncle Tang came to report: "The head of the family, the woman said that she wanted to see you and your husband."
