Chapter 135: Peony Jade
γUpdated tomorrow~γ
The old woman...... Killed the villagers' chickens and ducks?
Nan Xian was in a trance for a while, and countless question marks popped up in her mind.
Why, is there any point in her doing such a thing?
She remembered that day, when the old woman looked at her, she had tried to dress herself up, but she was still nervous.
"How do you know she did it?" She asked.
The village chief paused, "Although no one saw that she did it, basically every family in our village has poultry and livestock, and everyone gets along harmoniously, and I have never heard of anyone who has made enemies with whom, so there is no motive to do that kind of thing at all." There is only a stupid woman, her head is not normal, and she has set fire to burn firewood before, only it may be her! β
When Nan Xian heard this, she couldn't help frowning deeply.
She did not agree with the judgment of the head of Tanimura, in fact, in the absence of any substantive evidence, it is reasonable to arbitrarily conclude that a similar mistake was also committed by someone because of the wrong thing that someone has done, but there is no scientific basis in fact.
Historically, the unjust, false and wrongly decided cases that have made countless people deplore are all because of the wrong thoughts of the judges, who instructed the innocent to bear the black pot and bear the abuse and insults that they should not have endured.
Nan Xian suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "Did anyone witness the time when the stupid woman burned the firewood?" β
Gu Village Chief nodded, "The daughter-in-law of the neighbor next door to the Qian family said that when she got up at night, she saw a figure sneakily coming out of the Qian family, carrying a bucket in her hand, she thought it was a thief, so she took a flashlight and saw the stupid woman, and after a while, the backyard of the Qian family caught fire. We also found that barrel from the stupid woman's house, and it smelled of gasoline! β
Nan Xian nodded thoughtfully, in this way, the person who was the most suspicious in the firewood stack arson case was indeed a stupid woman.
And yet - no one has seen her "commit a crime" with their own eyes.
Since there is none, other possibilities cannot be ruled out!
Of course, Nan Xian would not say these words to the head of Gu Village.
She said goodbye to him, went out the door, and walked to the east end of the village.
Buxian Village is a well-known tourist attraction, coupled with the government's support for the rural economy in recent years, so the villagers' houses are repaired very beautiful and tidy, and some of them will be deliberately decorated into a special style, or built a homestay to attract tourists.
Therefore, when the dilapidated little tiled house came into view, Nan Xian instantly confirmed that she had not made a mistake.
The small tiled houses are low and low, the roof bricks are missing a piece in the east and a piece in the west, the withered yellow weeds in the front yard are untended and grow to the knees, and the mottled wooden doors are unlocked, blown open by the wind, making a twisted and strange "creaking" sound.
At first glance, the house looks like an old lady with scarce and yellow hair, grinning and giggling with a toothless mouth.
Nan Xian put away the wild imagination in her mind, carefully stepped over the weeds, walked to the wooden door, and shouted:
"Excuse me, is anyone home?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a light breeze coming from behind her, as if something was suddenly approaching, blowing the hairs on the back of her neck to stand on end.
Nan Xian was startled and turned her head suddenly-
The silly woman stood behind her, her eyes shining, and the corners of her mouth moving slightly like cramps.
She smiled, and stretched out her thin and old hands towards Nanxian, and her tone was slow and strange, like a baby who had just learned to speak.
"You-come-on!"
