Brother Duan repeatedly insisted on handing over the thirty yuan to Mrs. Ji, but Mrs. Ji couldn't refuse, and she was helpless and moved at the same time.

With a gentle attitude, he left Brother Duan to drink water, Brother Duan originally said that he would not drink it, and was in a hurry to go back and hand over the money to his daughter-in-law, but he was asked by Mrs. Ji strongly.

"Niujiao Village is still a long way from here! It's so hot now, how can you do it without drinking water! ”

Mrs. Ji glanced at Ye Qiuyun as she spoke, Ye Qiuyun was also smart, and hurriedly prepared to go in and pour water to drink.

Ji Liangqing and the others came back at this time.

"Yo, you three brothers are back?" Mrs. Ji saw her three sons enter the courtyard from a distance, and hurriedly got up and said.

Ji Liangqing originally wanted to tell his mother about his discovery immediately, but he held back when he saw Brother Duan here.

Although Brother Duan has a good relationship with them, he is an outsider after all, and it is not good to say this in front of outsiders.

So he responded with a smile, and the brothers greeted Brother Duan with a smile in turn.

At this time, Ye Qiuyun came out with water, Mrs. Ji took the water and handed it to Brother Duan, and then said to Ji Liangqing with a smile:

"Today, Duan Fang and her eldest brother brought another hundred small jars over, I was saying that there are not enough jars at home, this is really a coincidence."

Ji Liangqing's face softened even more: "Brother Duan, this is really hard for you!" ”

Brother Duan refused with a smile, and after a few conversations, Brother Duan inadvertently saw the small hoe that Ji Liangqing was holding in his hand.

"You also use this little hoe here?" Brother Duan smiled and pointed, "I thought it would be used by us." ”

The smile on the corner of the three brothers' lips paused.

Mrs. Ji still didn't know why, so she looked in the direction pointed by Brother Duan, and she was also very puzzled:

"We didn't use any little hoes, where did they come from? The three of you brothers picked it up on the road? ”

Ji Liangqing paused, looked at Brother Duan and hesitated for a moment, then pulled him into the hall.

Mrs. Ji also came in, and seeing that there was no family outside, Ji Liangqing closed the door.

Mrs. Ji didn't know it at first, but when she saw this, she immediately figured it out: "Was it left by a suspicious person?" ”

Ji Liangqing nodded, and asked Brother Duan, who looked confused:

"Brother Duan, you must have heard about what happened yesterday, but we suspect that it was not that he was careless, but that someone deliberately murdered him!"

Ji Liangqing's explanation of 1510:

"This small hoe is what we found at the scene, someone used this small hoe to pry a big stone, pushed it down and smashed it on Wu Er's body, no one in our village uses these, so I heard you ask, it seems that this kind of small hoe is basically used in your village?"

Brother Duan listened and nodded:

"Well, the land in Niujiao Village is not as spacious as the land here, and most of them are relatively small, and if you want to plant them on the eaves, you need to use a small hoe, basically every household has one."

Hearing this, Ji Liangqing knew it in his heart.

It seems that this murderer is not from their village at all, but from Niujiao Village.

Ji Miaomiao next to her was stunned.

She naively thought that Wu Er had accidentally fallen down and wanted someone else to carry the black pot to help heal the disease, but she didn't expect that it might really be framed by others.

It seems that this simple-minded person is also harmful to the heart.

She buried her head on Ye Qiuyun's shoulder, Ye Qiuyun carefully hugged her daughter and asked Brother Duan,

"If every household in Niujiao Village has a small hoe, how can we tell whose hoe it belongs to?"

This brings us to the point.

For a while, everyone in the Ji family looked at Brother Duan.

"It's easy." Brother Duan suddenly smiled: "It is precisely because every family has this thing, and it costs silver to ask the blacksmith to hit a small hoe, so everyone has specially made some symbols to distinguish their own family from other families." ”

As he spoke, Brother Duan took the little hoe and said while looking at it casually:

"Generally in this grip and this ......"

Speaking of this, he seemed to have seen something particularly terrifying, his eyes widened, and he looked straight at the small hoe in his hand, and said nothing.

"Brother Duan, what's wrong?" Ji Liangqing keenly noticed that something was wrong, and immediately asked, "Is there anything wrong with this hoe?" ”

Mrs. Ji also looked at Brother Duan tightly.

The group looked at Brother Duan's face, from disbelief to doubt to disappointment, and then said decadently:

"The mark of this little hoe is the mark of my house."

These words were like a thunderbolt, and the people around the explosion did not come back to their senses.

What does this mean?

The hoe was a suspicious thing found at the scene of the crime, but Brother Duan said it was something from their family, does this indicate that the murderer is Brother Duan?

But Brother Duan is honest and honest, and he doesn't have any deep hatred with Wu Er, and now he has a great future, why should he frame others?

The Ji family was puzzled, and the expression on their faces changed very vividly.

Brother Duan smiled bitterly at this time and said:

"If this hoe is really the murderer, then it is very likely that it is someone from our family, for example... My brother. ”

Speaking of this, Brother Duan's face was already very calm, and he was no longer as excited as he was just now.

Only then did the Ji family understand that it was not the mark of his small family, but the mark of Mrs. Duan's family.

Ji Liangqing's face turned pale, and he took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve that was obviously scratched and torn:

"This was seen on a branch next to the stone pit, and it was supposed that the murderer's clothes were torn."

Now the conditions of every household are not good, and the clothes are tight.

If ordinary people have their clothes scratched, they must immediately take back the cloth that has been pulled down and let their daughter-in-law connect it.

But the murderer may have been in a panic and was busy running away at that time, and he couldn't even care about his clothes scratched.

This piece of fabric made the bitter smile on the corner of Brother Duan's mouth even stronger: "This is the clothes that my mother pulled for my second brother during the New Year!" ”

At that time, he remembered very clearly that his second brother deliberately wore the new clothes to come to the house for a walk.

The family's family background is okay, the fabric is also very good, and there are some colors on it.

He has not been favored by his father and mother since he was a child, and he has long been used to it, but the three boys of the second brother's family are still ridiculing his two daughters for wearing tattered clothes.

He said that his father had new clothes to wear, but he didn't.

His two daughters looked at the tattered clothes on their bodies, and they were distressed and tearful, and he felt very uncomfortable when he looked at them, so he remembered them very clearly.

But I didn't expect to see this fabric here.

"In that way, it seems that the person who pushed the stone down and hit Wu Er was most likely your second brother." Su Xiu'er said quietly.

Of course, the others thought the same thing in their hearts, but they didn't say it, and they were silent.
