At that moment, Xia Yue took people to Zhou's house again, and Ye Caitang also went.

The Zhou family was holding a funeral, and they heard Aunt Zhou's crying from a distance, as well as the sound of gongs, drums, and suona.

The conditions of the Zhou family are not bad, even if they rely on selling vegetables, they are considered wealthy in ordinary people. It is not a problem for Aunt Zhou to support her two grandchildren alone, the problem is that a good family is gone, leaving orphans and widows.

Fortunately, there are two children, if there are no two children to support, everyone is worried that Aunt Zhou will go with her.

When the people of the six doors arrived, there were people mourning.

Everyone waited for the people to leave, and then they passed.

In just a few days, Aunt Zhou lost weight several times, wearing filial piety clothes and white flowers. The two children were not there, but Aunt Zhou listened to everyone's advice and temporarily entrusted the children to relatives to take care of.

The children are still young and can't withstand such a toss, not to mention that Aunt Zhou must be haggard and entangled in everything these days, and she has no mind or energy to take care of them.

As soon as she sent off a few friends, Aunt Zhou was about to sit down and take a rest, when she saw that someone was coming again.

She hurriedly got up and greeted her: "Lord Xia, Miss Ye." ”

Actually, she felt quite strange in her heart.

Although she has been delivering food to the six doors, she is familiar, but after all, her identity is different. No matter how approachable Xia Yue is, he is also a high-ranking adult. Even if you think they are pitiful, at most, you will ask someone to send some silver taels, and it is impossible to come to the door in person to condole.

Could it be that there has been any progress in the case?

But even if there is any progress, there is no need for Xia Yue to come to the door next month.

Aunt Zhou's heart swelled up with unease, up and down.

Xia Yue first said two polite words, after all, when people do funerals, it is always difficult to come up and turn over the cabinets.

Xia Yue said: "In the past few days, things have been going well, but what do you need help?" If you don't have enough people, just ask, and I'll send two people to help. ”

Aunt Zhou hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

But she also clearly knew that Xia Yue's purpose for this trip was definitely not so simple.

Without Xia Yue opening her mouth, she consciously asked first: "Lord Xia, is there any progress in the case?" ”

There is progress, but this progress is indeed a bit off.

Xia Yue walked inside, and Aunt Zhou hurriedly followed, it seems that it is not good to talk about this matter outside.

After entering the hall, there were no outsiders, and Xia Yue said: "Aunt Zhou, I ask you a few questions, I hope you will answer truthfully." ”

Aunt Zhou nodded again and again.

The worst guess she could think of was that Xia Yue suspected her of being the murderer of poisoning.

Although it is ridiculous to say that she poisoned and killed her husband, son, and daughter-in-law. But three of the four died while eating, and the other one was suspected of being justified.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yue asked: "Your family, what does the ancestor do?" ”

Aunt Zhou was stunned for a moment, she didn't quite understand, what did the ancestor do?

Xia Yue said: "When did you start doing things to collect and sell vegetables? ”

Aunt Zhou thought for a while: "It's been more than 20 years, and I married into the Zhou family." That's what their family does. ”

"Then every time you collect vegetables, who goes to collect vegetables outside the capital?"

"My husband, and my son."

Xia Yue asked: "You've never been there, and you still don't go often." ”

Aunt Zhou said: "I have hardly been there, and the things that run outside are the two of them, and I am responsible for delivering food to the houses in the capital every day." The daughter-in-law is at home with the children, and this is how our family arranges it. ”

"So when do they go to collect food? When will it come back? ”

Aunt Zhou thought for a while: "This is not necessarily, because the places where the vegetables are collected are far and near, some families are ready, and some families have to pick up vegetables from the ground." So sometimes they come back the same day, sometimes they come back the next day. ”

So in fact, where they went and what they did, the women in the family don't know at all.

Of course, it is also possible that Mrs. Zhou is the mastermind behind the scenes, but everything needs evidence.

Xia Yue said: "I want to look everywhere. ”

Aunt Zhou was stunned: "My lord...... What do you mean by that? ”

Xia Yue didn't explain, just looked at her.

After all, Aunt Zhou is a person who often runs six doors, and as soon as Xia Yue's attitude came out, she immediately knew that something was wrong.

She was a little flustered, but she didn't dare to say no, just nodded again and again: "Look, my lord, you ...... Just look at it. ”

The men with six doors entered the various rooms.

It's like looking for a basement in a tent house.

But after looking around, I found nothing.

This is also expected, and everyone began to suspect that even if the Zhou family had secrets, they should not hide it at home, because his family came and went, and it was too unsafe. It's not like Pengsan, who lives in the village, and there won't be a few people visiting the door a year.

The Zhou family is outside, and there should be other houses.

But I don't know if this house is in the capital or in the village outside.

It's hard to say if Aunt Zhou knows that she doesn't know, but there must be others who know.

At least some will be known.

Xia Yue took people away, on the one hand, he ordered people to keep an eye on the Zhou family, and on the other hand, he went to find a pawnshop in the capital.

This is all explained by Peng San.

Peng San said that some of his things were sold to two pawnshops in the capital, and some of them were sold to caravans.

Caravans are not easy to find, they are not fixed, back and forth between various cities, and even between different countries, the next time I return to the capital, I don't know when it will be.

But pawnshops can't run, not only are they fixed, but they are often passed down from generation to generation.

Peng San's goods have to be sold, and Zhou Cheng's goods have to be sold, so to put it mildly, there are only a few channels.

Ye Caitang asked Xia Yue strangely: "Didn't Peng San recruit everything, didn't recruit Zhou Chenglai?" ”

"Nope." Xia Yue said: "Peng San said that they all work alone in this business, and they never form gangs, because they don't trust each other. Not to mention friends, fathers and sons, brothers, all the same. ”

Ye Caitang has never robbed the tomb, but he has seen it, but unfortunately he didn't look at it carefully, and he tried his best to recall it, but he didn't recall it too clearly. I don't know if the rules of this industry are like this.

But it's possible.

In both cases, it is easy for people to disown their relatives.

In the face of great benefits, and in the face of great dangers.

The matter of tomb robbery, it just so happens that the two of them are all occupied, how is it not an anti-human thing.

There are two large pawnshops in the capital, and there are several smaller ones.

Xia Yue went directly to the largest pawnshop, and then brought a bag of things.

It's all taken out of Pengsan's basement.

He placed his things on the table and opened the cloth bag.

"This guest officer, as a thing?" The shopkeeper stood behind the counter with a smile on his face.

Xia Yue raised his chin: "Help people to do it, you take a look first." ”

When the shopkeeper saw it, he immediately stood up straight and looked at Xia Yue with a panicked expression.
