Wen Lou said: "Indeed, if it was a frame-up, the method was too unskilled and a more ruthless method should be used. But if it was not a frame-up, but a homicide, the method was also too unskilled."

After Wen Lou said this, Tang Chi felt relieved. Nothing would happen to the restaurant.

"Where is his friend?" Tangchi recalled the panic look on the deceased's friend.

Wen Lou replied: "He didn't say anything. However, there must be something wrong with him."

No one's expression can be hidden from Wen Lou's eyes that can see everything.

"What should we do?"

"I have sent people to check on him. There will be news soon."

Tangchi nodded.

"But... until the truth comes out, the restaurant cannot open."

"I understand." Tangchi looked at Wen Lou and asked seriously, "Then can I go back? Or do I have to go to the cell?"

Wen Lou looked at Tangchi's expression and raised the corners of his mouth. "You can't go back yet."

Tang Chi: "..." Do you want to go to jail for no reason? Just let it be an experience.

"But you don't have to go to jail," he added.

"Um?"

"Let's go, I will go with my officer to the home of the deceased and his friend later."

So that’s it.

Tangchi said: "Okay."

"You stay here first, I'll have someone bring food to you later." After saying that, Wen Lou stood up and left.

After dinner, Wen Lou hadn't come yet, so Tang Chi began to feel sleepy again while lying on the table, and accidentally fell asleep.

Because of what happened in the restaurant, Tangchi had a very uneasy sleep. One moment, he dreamed that his body was tied to the entrance of the village and was about to be burned to death, with fire all around him. The next moment, he was alone in the restaurant, with people all around Tangchi.

"ah!"

Tangchi was woken up and found that she was still in the county government office. She took a few breaths.

Then, the door was opened and Wen Lou walked in.

Tangchi hadn't recovered yet and looked towards the door in panic.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just had a nightmare." Tang Chi stood up and straightened his hair and clothes.

Later, she looked back at Wen Lou. He also slept late, but he was in good spirits and still felt like a spring breeze.

People are just different.

Wen Lou took her out of the county government office and out of the city to another village - Yangjiacun.

The deceased and his friends were from the same village, one was named Yang Yuan and the other was named Yang Shu.

Wen Lou took Tangchi and asked several people in the village, only to learn that the lives of Yang Yuan and Yang Shu were not good. Both of them were gamblers and owed a lot of debt.

Fortunately, Yang Shu has a wife, but Yang Yuan is alone.

Wenlou and Tangchi found Yang Shu’s home.

This house is made of dirt and grass and looks very shabby.

"Is Sister-in-law Yang at home?" Tang Chi knocked on the door and called.

Then a woman came out and opened the door with an anxious look on her face. After seeing them, she had a worried look on her face and asked: "Are you...did something happen to the poplar tree?"

Tang Chi was about to speak when he was interrupted by Wen Lou.

"We just came to see Yang Shu. Why would my sister-in-law think something happened to Yang Shu?" he asked warmly.

Yang Shu's wife looked at Wen Lou and felt that he had an extraordinary temperament and was not an ordinary person. "Does he owe you money? Come in and sit down first." She greeted Tang Chi and the others and walked into the yard.

"Just sit in the yard, the house is too messy."

"Sister-in-law, stop being busy, there is no need to pour water for us," Tangchi said.

Yang Shu's wife looked at Wenlou, then at Tangchi, and sat down anxiously.

Wen Lou asked: "Has anything unusual happened to Yang Shu recently?"

She glanced at Wen Lou and replied: "He loves to gamble. Even his parents couldn't talk about him. In the end, he was mad at him."

He doesn't seem to be a good person either.

Looking at the helpless expression on Yang Shu's wife's face, Tangchi felt a little sympathetic to her for actually marrying such a husband.

Seeing the resentful look on Tang Chi's face, she smiled and said: "But he is very good to me. Two days ago, he suddenly said that he felt guilty for letting me suffer for so long with him, and he would let me go immediately.

Live a good life, let me be good."

It's really unusual to say this all of a sudden.

"But is it related to his friend Yang Yuan?" Wen Lou asked.

Yang Shu's wife looked at Wen Lou in surprise, nodded and said, "Yes. He and Yang Yuan were so mysterious in those days that I didn't know what they were talking about."

Could it be related to this matter? Tang Chi looked at Wen Lou with doubts.

Wen Lou seemed to know what she was asking and nodded towards her.

"Sister-in-law, to be honest, I am Wen Lou, the county magistrate in the city."

As soon as she heard that he was the county magistrate, Yang Shu's wife immediately stood up in panic and knelt down. "Shen, see your lord."

"Get up."

Yang Shu's wife refused to get up, raised her head and asked, "Sir, has Yang Shu... done anything?"

Tangchi smiled at her and helped her up, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Yang Shu is fine."

"Really?" She stood up dubiously.

Yang Shu was indeed still alive and well, and Tang Chi felt that he was not fooling people.

"So...what are you..." she asked.

Wen Lou replied: "Yang Yuan and Yang Shu went to a restaurant to eat together, and then Yang Yuan was poisoned and died. Yang Shu was still fine. He and Yang Shu ate from the same pot."

Yang Shu's wife was so surprised that she could not speak and her eyes widened.

"How... is this possible? Yang Yuan is dead? How could the two of them have money to eat in a restaurant?"

Indeed, how can two gamblers who owe a lot of debt have money to eat in a restaurant?

"Sister-in-law, please come with us back to the county government office and look at the poplar trees." Wen Lou said.

"Okay... okay, I'll go with you right now." She stood up anxiously, wanting to prepare something, but she didn't know what to prepare.

Tangchi smiled and took her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, the county government has everything, so you don't need to prepare anything." Even if the county government doesn't have it, Wenlou also has it.

Speaking of this, she glanced at Wen Lou, who was also looking at her with a smile.

Yang Shu's wife could follow a gambler so wholeheartedly. Although Tangchi felt sorry for her, he was also touched by her. It was not easy to live with such a man.

Not long after they went out, Tangchi, who was walking in front of them, turned a corner and saw a group of people, including an acquaintance. They immediately retracted their heads.

"He is Mr. Zhou's evil slave!" Tang Chi whispered to Wen Lou.

"Hide first." Wen Lou led them to hide behind a rock.

While leading them to hide, Wen Lou grabbed Tangchi's arm and never let go.

Although Tangchi was a little embarrassed, he didn't make any reaction and looked at the front carefully.

They walked to the door of Yang Shu's house and knocked on the door. When no one opened the door for a long time, they kicked the door open.
