The sky was overcast, and the wind was blowing from an unknown direction.
Fang Wu wore the uniform of the yamen and moved into the custody room step by step. He saw Bai An and Zhang Xuan there and didn't know what to say, so he said hello: "Brother, it's early for Zhang Xuan."
"Good morning. The master hasn't come here yet. Well, the master asked from Shili Coffin Shop a few days ago and said that the Zhang family bought some white powder, but they didn't say anything because they overcharged the Zhang family."
Bai An turned around and said hello, and then told them everything they had gained in the past few days.
This Zhang family is naturally still the same Zhang family where a few people begged for water.
Fang Wu stretched his body and said, "Senior brother, have you heard from the master about what I told the painter before?"
Bai An nodded, thought for a while and then said: "Well, I heard that the master is saying that he will go there again today. Is the junior sister going too?"
As he spoke, his chin moved. The small tuft of beard on his chin made Fang Wu look a little scared.
However, Fang Wu didn't say anything, he just thought that he would get used to it, and Fang Wu probably knew that this person just looked a bit scary.
Don't look at it, he is tall and thick, slovenly, and he doesn't care much about his clothes. However, he is not very courageous and doesn't like to make trouble, and he is very easy to talk to.
Although you can't criticize someone, but it's much better than Zhang Xuan who deliberately picks a fight with you.
Fang Wu said: "Yes? Then we wait for the master?"
"Wait for him. I don't know when. Why don't you just go and invite him?" Zhang Xuan snorted coldly and impatiently went to Ji Xuan's residence.
Fang Wu frowned and followed, and Bai An also grabbed some pen and ink before following.
Indeed, at this time, there is still some time left before Ji Xuan has any other ideas, and it is inevitable to miss it, so it is a good choice to call...
The sky was still overcast, and the sun could not be seen. A group of four people stood in front of the wooden door of Zhang's house, patting the wooden door.
At this time, there were already a lot of people on the street, and there were also many people coming and going for work. When people from the government knocked on the door of the Zhang family, many people stopped, but the Zhang family never responded, so people were sparse.
gone.
However, the four people were still banging on the door. They asked if there was anyone last night, and the people who got up to exercise in the morning said they didn't go out, which means there is someone at home.
A few people didn't think they were just avoiding them. Maybe they didn't hear them, right?
About the time I was knocking on a stick of incense, I heard a knock on the door in the yard, and then I heard a snoring voice: "Who is it? What's wrong so early in the morning?"
"The government is handling the case." Ji Xuan shouted.
"Just come." It was still a silly voice, mixed with the sound of footsteps.
The four of them listened, and Bai An said carefully: "Master, can this matter and the horse corpse case be investigated together?"
"We want to investigate together, but we can't prove that there is any relationship between the white powder of the Zhang family and the white powder on the horse corpse. In addition, we don't know if the Zhang family just lied. We still need to find out." Ji Xuan sighed and insisted.
He scratched his head and explained.
He had a headache. The current situation could not directly explain the relationship between the Zhang family and the horse corpse. It could only mean that the case had taken a new direction, although this direction may not have anything to do with the horse corpse case.
However, it is also a direction. After all, the Zhang family's cattle were sold. By chance, they found traces of the cow's hooves on the road, and they discovered Baiyao.
It happened that the Zhang family also bought Baiyao and gave money to pave the coffin, telling them not to talk too much. Doesn't this kind of thing make people feel suspicious? Besides, they happened to make two excuses about the girl's matter?
This, several coincidences collide, is it not a coincidence? Therefore, the Zhang family is very suspicious.
Although, now it seems that the Zhang family, Su San and Ma Shi are not related, we still need to investigate.
Maybe there is something related to this that they didn't notice?
The person who opened the door was an old man. Although he was stretching and yawning, his face was swollen and his eyes were red. He looked like he hadn't slept well all night.
"It's early for you guys, do you want to come in and sit down?" the old man said, letting the four people in, his tone was not very pleasant.
"How many people are there in the uncle's family?" Fang Wu asked casually. She glanced at the others before asking. They were all observing everywhere in the yard before speaking.
"Now we are a couple. The girl is going to her sister's house." The old man said without hesitation.
"When did you go?" Several people looked at each other, and Ji Xuan looked at the old man and asked.
While Ji Xuan was talking, Zhang Xuan sat down on the stool, blinking his eyes, full of impatience and calculation.
Ji Xuan, on the other hand, asked in a lazy voice, while her eyes were still looking around. Only Bai An was sitting at the table, remembering everything everyone said.
Bai An's handwriting is still square, thick and big, which is not good-looking at all, but the important thing is that you can clearly see what is written.
On the contrary, it seems to make people feel effortless, although there is no appreciation value.
"It's been seven or eight days," the old man said after hesitating for a moment and flexing his fingers.
Zhang Xuan couldn't stand listening anymore and said impatiently: "I tell you, if you deliberately conceal it and delay the Yamen's errands, you will go to jail."
As he spoke, Zhang Xuan patted the table, and after finishing speaking, he blew two whistles out of habit, which was very inconsistent.
But the old man didn't feel any violation. He just kept saying, "It's only been seven or eight days. Did something happen to our girl? Old lady, come out quickly. Something happened to our girl."
Although the old man was shouting, there was no urgency in either his words or his actions.
"Who told you what happened to your girl? I'm telling you, pay attention to every word you say. You must be responsible for every word you say." Zhang Xuan didn't wait for the reaction of the people in the room.
He added a sentence directly.
"It's true, our girl is really not at home. Sir, do you want to ask a question or do you want to see someone?" The old man didn't quite understand. His eyes were evasive. Ji Xuan looked at him several times and turned his head.
His eyes were wandering.
"It's like this. We heard other stories, saying that your girl has a marriage contract with a boy from the Xue family, and that it will be done in a day or two. Is that true?" Ji Xuan grabbed Zhang Xuan and pulled him away.
If something came out of his mouth, he was forced to hold it back.
The painting style changed and the topic was asked. They were not prepared to ask the Zhang family directly, which one was true and which one was false. They had to judge based on the Zhang family's reaction, not just blindly.
