Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said: "It's not difficult for you. If you want to expose this conspiracy, you have to have someone to testify and provide physical evidence. Did you find out that there are two people here who obviously lied. One is Ding's maid Xiaomei. She lied She lied that Mr. Zhang went to see Mr. Ding the night before her death. This testimony completely confirmed the evidence that Mr. Zhang was present on the night of the assassination. Afterwards, she actually followed the government back to the Yamen, and she was even the one who carried out Ding's coffin. But not only did she not tell the cause of Ding's death, she also disappeared without a trace afterwards. This shows that not only did she lie, but she was bribed or forced to do so."

Shen Ling'er glared at Yuan and said, "Yes, yes, that's what happened. There must be something wrong with this maid Xiaomei."

Fang Zian said: "The other person who lied with open eyes was the gangster in the county government. His autopsy results determined the direction of the case, but it was obvious that he lied. He was also bribed or forced to tell lies. Ding's It is not difficult for Wu Zuo to discover the scars on his chest. Therefore, Xiaomei, the maid, and Wu Zuo are the people we want to find next. This is also the most powerful evidence to directly destroy the evidence of the other party's frame-up. As long as they confess the truth, we will Then it can be completely turned around.”

Shen Ling'er nodded and said: "What the Master said is absolutely true. In addition to that gangster, there must be many people in the county government who are accomplices. For example, the local county magistrate is probably an accomplice."

Fang Zian nodded approvingly and said: "You are very promising. The county magistrate He Jin must be an accomplice. Otherwise, how could his subordinates dare to lie. This matter would never have been possible without the arrangement of the county magistrate He Jin." Thorough."

Shen Ling'er said: "Sir, who should we look for next?"

Fang Zian thought for a while and said: "The maid Xiaomei disappeared. The Zhang family said she returned to her hometown. I don't think it is that simple. This person is the key person. How could those people allow her to go home so easily? Aren't they afraid of Zhang?" Will her family go find her and ask?"

"Young master, what you are saying is... that the maidservant might... have been silenced?" Shen Ling'er had obviously understood.

Fang Zian nodded and said: "Even if she has not been silenced, she must have been hidden. It is quite difficult to find her. Let's go find the gangster tonight. He is from the Yamen and will never be silenced. He must be the county magistrate. He Jin's private life must be kept secret, otherwise He Jin would not dare to use him. He must be living a very prosperous life, so he will seek out his bad luck first."

…

When Fang Zian and Shen Ling'er returned to the streets, the situation in the city was already very different. County police officers were checking the streets, and even local militia soldiers and unidentified people were also checking people in the city. Just as Fang Zian guessed, a large-scale search began after the city gate was sealed. This further showed that Fang Zian suspected that it was very possible that his and Shen Ling'er's identities were exposed.

The two of them did not dare to walk on the main street, so they could only go through alleys and alleys to avoid interrogators. Fortunately, the weather that had been gloomy and dreary since last night finally broke out. After a muffled thunder in the dark clouds in the sky, people began to move forward. It was raining. The rain was getting heavier, mixed with lightning and thunder. It was like a whip driving people away. After a short meal, the streets and alleys of the entire county were deserted. Those who searched I don't even know where I hid.

Fang Zian and Shen Ling'er took shelter from the rain for a while under the eaves of a house. The rain gradually subsided and the sky darkened. The two passed through the rain curtain.

Heading towards the county government office in the center of the city. Because he didn't know who Zuo Zuo was, he couldn't ask questions randomly, and he didn't know if he was in the county government office. Standing on the street near the county government office, Fang Zian thought for a moment and turned around.

Went into a small restaurant that was open.

There were not many customers in the small restaurant, and everyone was driven away on a rainy day, so the shopkeeper and a waiter were sitting in a daze in the dark shop. When Fang Zian came in, the shopkeeper hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Sir, do you want to eat?"

Fang Zian slapped a piece of silver on the table and said in a deep voice: "Cook some good dishes, boil two pots of wine, and send them to Wang Wuzuo in the Yamen. These are the drinks and dishes he asked me to order."

"Wang Fu Zuo? There is only one Wu Zuo with the surname Zhao in this county, called Zhao Xi. When did Wang Fu Zuo come?" the shopkeeper said in a daze.

Fang Zian glared and cursed: "Are you swatting flies in your ears? I'm talking about Zhao Wuzuo. When did you say that his surname was Wang? Did you rely on me if you heard it wrong?"

The shopkeeper was speechless and said with a wry smile: "Yes, yes, I heard wrong. But at this point, Zhao Wuzuo has already left the county government. Where to send it?"

"Nonsense, send him to his home. Did I tell you to send him to the county government? I'm taking care of your business, so why are you babbling?" Fang Zian shouted.

The shopkeeper cursed in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, I'll send it over here."

Fang Zian shouted: "Send it to me quickly, he's waiting. If he can't wait and thinks I didn't order it for him, then I'm going to destroy the store. Let's go first, hurry up."

"Yes, yes, it will definitely be delivered. There won't be any delay. Go slowly, slowly." The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and sent the grumpy guy away. He was still wondering when Zhao Xi from the Yamen had the power to order people around.

Fang Zian left the restaurant and pulled Shen Ling'er away. Shen Ling'er witnessed Fang Zian's domineering behavior throughout the ordering process and was filled with admiration.

"Young master, this is a good idea. They will bring food and wine to you later. We can follow the clues and find that guy. But how do you know that this restaurant knows the residence of the Yamen couple? And do you know the couple well?"

Fang Zian laughed softly and said: "The restaurant is open in front of the yamen, and the officials in the yamen are all their guests. Anyone who knows how to do business, why can't he have a good relationship with the officials in the yamen? Let's talk about the restaurant.

The signboard is so old, it's obvious that it has been open for many years. He should know the tolerances in the yamen very well. So what if he doesn't know? I'll get angry and get the money back and get another company to do the same thing. If you don't believe me, no one will know.

That’s where the man lives.”

Shen Ling'er sighed softly: "Why do you have so many tricks, Mr. Ling'er? I really admire him and don't know what to say."

Fang Zixin said: These are just the most basic methods of investigation and investigation. During a training session of the special reconnaissance team of his special operations unit, he once transported the team members to an unfamiliar city by helicopter and asked them to complete the task within an hour.

It is really difficult to find out a complete stranger's name, address, ID number, bank password, account password of the main social account, and other information. And this is done without alerting the other person, his relatives and friends at all.

The two of them didn't go far and waited in the shadows at the opposite street. Soon after, a waiter carried a food box and an umbrella and walked out of the store, heading east of the city. Fang Zian

Shen Ling'er and Shen Ling'er followed from a distance until the boy entered an alley and stopped in front of a small courtyard door. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Fang Zian rushed over and grabbed the food box.

"Why didn't it arrive until now? Zhao Wuzuo has been waiting impatiently. Leave it to me and you can go back. When I go to the Yamen tomorrow, I will bring you the food boxes and dishes." Fang Zian said.

The waiter was startled and didn't know where Fang Zian came from, but judging from his face, he was the aggressive man who had just ordered the food and drinks. He didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly agreed and turned around to leave.

After the man walked away, Shen Ling'er caught up and the two of them stood at the door of the house and looked inside. The house was dark, with no lights or movement, and there seemed to be no human voice. Shen Ling'er pointed. Fang Zian looked at the copper ring on the courtyard door and realized that it was locked.

"Isn't this guy at home?" Fang Zian smacked his lips and whispered.

Shen Ling'er felt worried and looked at Fang Zian speechlessly.

Fang Zian said: "Just wait and see, since this is his home, he will always come back to sleep. Let's go in and wait for him."

The two climbed over the wall, opened a window and entered the house. They quickly searched the three main rooms and found that there was no one in the house. It seemed that Zhao Zuo was a bachelor. The room was in a mess. It smells musty, like a pig's nest.

"Wait. There happens to be food and wine, let's eat while we wait." Fang Zian laughed softly.

Shen Ling'er cheered softly. After eating the bowl of noodles at noon, she hadn't eaten anything yet and was hungry. The two of them took out the food and wine from the food boxes on the table in the main room. Several dishes were still hot. The rice was also hot and the wine was no longer drunk. The two of them ate the three dishes and a basin of hot rice in the dark. Then they sat quietly in the darkness and waited.

The rain gradually became lighter and fell from the eaves. The pattering sound reminded Fang Zian of the old house in Sanyuanli. The old house was also in the same situation when it rained. And on countless rainy nights, Fang Zian was lonely. I was passing the time listening to the sound of rain. Although it was the same rainy night now, the situation was already different. At this moment, there was a girl accompanying me, and Chuni, who was pregnant with her child, was waiting for me at home in the capital. And Qin Xiqing, and Shi Ningyue... I actually already have a lot. Listening to the sound of rain, I no longer feel lonely and bored.

It was a long time, and I don’t know how long I had to wait. Fang Zian was already doubting whether his strategy of waiting for the rabbit would succeed. Suddenly, heavy footsteps came from outside the yard. The sound of footsteps stepping on muddy water was particularly clear at this time.

Fang Zian, who was holding Shen Ling'er's hand and kneading it gently, suddenly sat up straight and squeezed Shen Ling'er's hand. Shen Ling'er had actually heard it earlier and stood up as well. The two of them listened attentively. There was movement outside. Immediately afterwards, the sound of the copper ring and iron lock on the courtyard door was heard, which was the sound of unlocking.

"Here we come!" Shen Ling'er whispered.

Fang Zian said softly: "I will stop him as soon as he enters the door. Check to see if there is anyone else behind him."

"Okay!" Shen Linger whispered.
