Chapter 78

Today, someone found Yun Zhang's body in the well next to the big banyan tree in the east of the village. The news spread throughout Yungou Village in one afternoon, and the Zhao family was no exception.

"The body was taken away by the government this afternoon. The cause of death is not yet clear."

Uncle Zhao frowned. For some reason, when he first learned about this incident today, he had a vague hunch that this incident was probably directed at Yun Xiaoshuang and the others.

"Where's my dad?"

Yun Xiaoshuang's face was extremely ugly. This troublesome situation was really coming to an end.

"In the room, he should have fallen asleep."

It was strange that Yun Dachuan could sleep after something like this happened. Yun Xiaoshuang left Zhao Mocheng and the two of them and went to the room.

"How did the Yun family react?" Zhao Mocheng asked.

Uncle Zhao shook his head, "Except that Yun Dahai cried a lot when he went to the place where the body was found today, I haven't found anything unusual for the time being."

Hearing this, Zhao Mocheng couldn't help but frown, and a dark light flashed in his deep eyes, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"Evian Zhang's temperament should not commit suicide. There is probably another mystery to this matter. You send someone to find Wang Mu. I want to see him."

"yes."

Why did Mrs. Yun Zhang die after she was in good health? Yun Xiaoshuang didn't think clearly about this problem all the way from the gate to the inner courtyard.

Even though Yun Dahai's incident caused the Yun family to owe a huge debt, Yun Zhang's temperament would definitely not allow her to die. Moreover, the government took the body away for so long and there was no news, which is enough to show that Yun Zhang

His death was unusual.

Seeing that the lights in Yun Dachuan's house were dim, Yun Xiaoshuang wanted to knock on the door, but she hesitated when she reached the door.

In this situation, it seemed that Yun Dachuan should be left alone for some time alone.

But just when Yun Xiaoshuang was about to turn around and leave, the lights in the room suddenly turned on.

"Is it Xiaoshuang?"

Yun Xiaoshuang paused in her steps and turned around when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her.

"You came back so late."

"Yes, Dad, are you still awake?"

Yun Dachuan did not answer, but turned sideways, signaling for Yun Xiaoshuang to come in.

The candlelight of the oil lamp on the table flickered brightly and dimly, and it was not until Yun Xiaoshuang came in that she discovered that there was someone else on the bed.

"Ever since I heard about that incident, this girl has been watching over me. Unexpectedly, I was so tired that I fell asleep first." Yun Dachuan smiled and glanced at Yun Xiaoxue who was lying on the floor, his eyes full of love.

"Just now I was about to take her back to the room when I heard movement outside the door, and I guessed it was you."

There were faint red bloodshot eyes in Yun Dachuan's eyes, but there was not much sadness in his expression, which immediately made Yun Xiaoshuang breathe a sigh of relief.

"I heard about such a thing as soon as I came back, so I thought of coming to see you." A faint smile appeared on Yun Xiaoshuang's lips, "Since you are fine, I will go back first."

After saying that, Yun Xiaoshuang got up and walked out of the house. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Yun Dachuan's voice again.

"Xiaoshuang, I know what you are worried about."

"I have already made my choice. No one else except you and Xiaoxue will have too much influence on me." Yun Dachuan's voice was very calm, gentle but powerful.

"rest assured."

"Um."

Yun Xiaoshuang calmly spat out this word from her mouth and left Yun Dachuan's room without hesitation. It seemed that Yun Dachuan had indeed changed a lot during this period, and her worries were somewhat unnecessary.

This night was destined to be sleepless, and it seemed that she should be more worried about herself at the moment.

At Yinshi, Wang Mu and Murong Ye arrived at Zhao's house together. As soon as Yun Xiaoshuang opened the door of Zhao Mocheng's room, she saw the three people discussing things in the room.

"It seems I came at the right time."

After leaving Yun Dachuan's room, Yun Xiaoshuang returned to her room and tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so she thought about coming over to Zhao Mocheng to discuss it.

"You came just in time."

Zhao Mocheng was not surprised either, his expression remained calm and composed, but Yun Xiaoshuang came a little later than he expected.

"There is news from the government office."

After receiving Uncle Zhao's letter from Fei Ge, Murong Ye went to the government office in person and happened to bump into Wu Zuo examining Yun Zhang's body, so he hid on the roof and watched the whole process.

"Are you saying that Mrs. Yun Zhang did not die from drowning, but from poisoning?"

Yun Xiaoshuang's eyes widened with fear on her face.

"Indeed." Murong Ye answered with certainty, "I saw with my own eyes that Wu Zuo inserted the silver needle into Yun Zhang's body. When he took it out, the silver needle turned black."

"So now the Yamen has concluded that Mrs. Yun Zhang died of poisoning."

Who would kill a frail old woman? Or poison her.

Zhao Mocheng glanced at Wang Mu and told him to say what he said before to Yun Xiaoshuang again.

"After what happened last time, the young master was worried that the Yun family would take revenge on you, so he asked me to find someone to look after Yun Dahai's family. It was only two days ago that I discovered that Yun Dahai was not only borrowing money from our Juyunfang.

After receiving the money, even Chihonglou is his creditor."

Chihonglou is a gambling house in Lincheng. Although its business is not as big as that of Juyunfang, it is still a well-known one on the road.

"The banker of Chihonglou has always been famous in the industry for his ruthlessness, but the strange thing is that he didn't take action against Yun Dahai this time."

Hearing this, Yun Xiaoshuang suddenly became alert. Since he was said to be a ruthless master, the debt owed by Yun Dahai must not be settled just like this.

"Not only that, when we went to Yun's house to collect debts, the experts from Chihonglou also sent people to come to me and asked me not to beat up the drowned dog."

At that time, Wang Mu thought that maybe it was rare for the banker of Chihonglou to be so kind-hearted, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. Now that the incident happened, he felt particularly weird when he thought about it.

"What do you think?"

Yun Xiaoshuang turned her attention to Zhao Mocheng. After all, Zhao Mocheng's experience in this aspect was far better than hers.

"We know too little now. Although it is clear that there is something fishy about Yun Zhang's death, whether it was directed at us is just speculation, so we might as well wait until tomorrow to see what the Yun family will do."

"If it is really coming towards us, even if the situation is passive now, there is still no solution."

Zhao Mocheng's analysis is indeed reasonable at the moment, but in fact, when Yun Xiaoshuang heard the news that Uncle Zhao said that Mrs. Yun Zhang was dead, she had already guessed that this matter was probably for her.

In order not to fall into an overly passive situation, staying put seems to be the best option at the moment.

Seeing Yun Xiaoshuang's nervous face, Zhao Mocheng suddenly reached out and patted the back of her hand, comforting her softly: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Yun Xiaoshuang subconsciously raised her head and looked at Zhao Mocheng in front of her. The anxiety in her heart seemed to have faded a lot.

When Murong Ye saw this, he immediately looked away and tried his best to pretend he didn't see anything without changing his expression.

Sure enough, not long after dawn, Yun Dahai brought people from the government to Zhao's house, on the grounds that Yun Xiaoshuang was the suspect who killed Yun Zhang.

Everything was as predicted last night, but Yun Xiaoshuang felt that she was not as panicked as she imagined.

"Sir, since you said I killed someone, why don't you bring out the evidence and take a look?"

Now that the government has begun to arrest people, it means that they have obtained enough evidence. Yun Xiaoshuang really wants to know how the person behind the scenes blamed Yun Zhang's death on herself.

"This thing was found from Yunzhang's Mountain. Take a look, do you recognize it?"

The leading officer threw something on the ground, and when Yun Xiaoshuang took a closer look, she discovered that it was a broken corner of clothes with blue embroidery on it.

"This hem of clothes was obviously torn off by Yun Zhang from the assailant when he was killed. And according to Yun Dahai's testimony, you have worn similar clothes. Do you have anything to say?"

This is indeed Yun Xiaoshuang's dress. It is also an embroidered dress that she bought from Aunt Mei to celebrate the cooperation with Guangyao House. Many people in the village have seen her wear it. Yun Xiaoshuang doesn't even know it.

There is no way to refute.

However, this piece of clothing was lost long before the Zhao family moved. Now that I think about it, maybe it was not lost at all, but stolen.

"This is indeed my dress, I have nothing to say."

Hearing her admitting so readily, even Yun Dahai, who wanted to kill her, was a little surprised. He was stunned for a few seconds and then shouted.

"Sir, you heard me, she admitted that she is a murderer! Arrest her quickly!"

When Yun Dahai yelled like this, there was a gasp of cold air all around.

"I just admitted that these are indeed my clothes. When did I admit that I was a murderer?" Yun Xiaoshuang glared at Yun Dahai coldly, "This dress was stolen several months ago.

"

"Of course it's really hard to believe what I said, so I'm willing to go back to the government with you to assist in the investigation."

"Well, please come with us."

Wang Er has been a policeman for so many years and has never seen any kind of prisoner, but he is the first one at Yun Xiaoshuang's age to remain so calm, and his attitude towards her immediately became a bit better.

In modern times, Yun Xiaoshuang's life has always been smooth sailing. She has never even been to the police station. She didn't expect that when she got here, she would become a frequent visitor to the government, which made her feel a little sad.

"Yun Xiaoshuang, can you admit that you killed Yun Zhang?"

The prefect was also an acquaintance of Yun Xiaoshuang, and his tone of questioning was not very harsh.

"Sir, of course I won't admit anything I haven't done."

Yun Xiaoshuang replied calmly, "It's a bit far-fetched to conclude that I poisoned the Yun Zhang family based on just a touch of clothes, right?"

The prefect took out a small clay pot still covered with soil and ordered it to be placed in front of Yun Xiaoshuang: "This was found from the tidal flat of your home. It is the same as the poison that was poisoned by Yun Zhang. How do you explain it?"

.”

It seemed that she was quite well prepared. Yun Xiaoshuang's eyes fell on Yun Dahai on the other side of the courtroom.
