Chapter 135 Peony Jade

【Update tomorrow~】

That old woman...killed the villagers' chickens and ducks?

Nan Xian was in a daze for a while, with countless questions popping up in her mind.

Why, is there any meaning for her to do such a thing?

She remembered that day, when the old woman looked at her, she looked embarrassed and uneasy even though she tried hard to dress herself up.

"How do you know she did it?" she asked.

Village Chief Gu paused, "Although no one saw that she did it, basically every household in our village raises poultry and livestock, and everyone gets along in harmony. I have never heard of anyone having any enmity with anyone.

There is no motive to do that kind of thing. There is only a stupid woman, her brain is not normal, and she set fire to the pile of firewood before, so it can only be her!"

When Nan Xian heard this, she couldn't help but frown deeply.

She did not agree with Chief Tani's judgment. In fact, without any substantial evidence, it was reasonable to arbitrarily conclude that similar mistakes were committed by someone because of the wrong things they had done.

In fact, there is no scientific basis for it.

Many of the unjust, false and wrongful convictions in history that have made countless people lament and deplore were all due to the mistake of the judge, which caused innocent people to take the blame and endure the abuse and insults they should not have to bear.

Nan Xian suddenly thought of something and asked again: "Did anyone witness it with their own eyes when the silly woman burned firewood?"

Village Chief Gu nodded, "The daughter-in-law of the neighbor next door to Qian's house said that when she got up at night, she saw a figure sneaking out of Qian's house, carrying a bucket in his hand. She thought it was a thief, so she took a flashlight and shined it.

We saw Sha Po, and not long after, there was a fire in Qian's backyard. We also found the bucket from Sha Po's house, and it still smelled of gasoline!"

Nan Xian nodded thoughtfully. From this point of view, the person who had the biggest suspicion in the firewood pile arson case was indeed the stupid woman.

However - no one saw her "committing the crime" with their own eyes.

Since there is no such thing, other possibilities cannot be ruled out!

Of course, Nan Xian would not say these words to Chief Gu.

She said goodbye to him, walked out of the door, turned her steps, and walked towards the east end of the village.

Buxianxian Village is a well-known tourist attraction. In addition, the government has supported the rural economy in recent years, so the villagers' houses are very beautifully and neatly renovated. Some are more particular and will deliberately decorate them in a special style, or

Build a B&B to attract tourists.

Therefore, when the dilapidated small tile-roofed house came into view, Nan Xian was instantly sure that she was on the right track.

The small tile-roofed house is low and squat, with pieces of roof tiles missing here and there. The yellow weeds in the front yard have not been taken care of and have grown up to the knees. The mottled wooden door is not locked and blows open in the wind, making a weird and twisted sound.

The "squeaking" sound.

At first glance, this house looks like an old lady with thin and yellow hair, grinning with a toothless mouth and giggling.

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 gust of breeze coming from behind her, as if something was approaching suddenly, causing the hairs on the back of her neck to suddenly stand up.

Nan Xian was startled and turned her head sharply——

Silly Woman stood behind her, her eyes sparkling, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly like a cramp.

She smiled and stretched out her skinny old hands towards Nanxian. Her tone of voice was slow and strange, like the babbling of a baby who had just learned to speak.
