Chapter 5 The Second Reporter

Chapter 5 The second reporter

Between these two sentences, Fang and Wu had already walked in front of the noodle vendor.

This street is also considered prosperous, and it is some distance from the Yamen.

Ji Xuan didn't know what the two people were talking about outside, so she walked around into a room.

The room was quite warm, and even though the stove was lit, Ji Xuan didn't go in and leaned against the door.

"About what time do you get up on weekdays?" He didn't even light the wax, he just asked the child.

"I got up earlier today because I drank too much water last night, and it would be late in the day." The child said, scratching his head.

Ji Xuan was stunned for a moment and remembered what was written in the suicide note, as well as the candles and wine in the room.

If it had really been delayed until now, then maybe the child would have been a mummy.

Because the suicide note probably said that the woman felt that life was suffering and wanted to die. She did not want to leave her child alone to suffer, but she couldn't do anything, so she wanted to burn down the house.

"Who knows your daily schedule?" Ji Xuan continued to ask.

"Work and rest? I don't quite understand." The child stuttered.

Ji Xuan said: "That's when you get up and go to bed."

"It's just my mother."

"Your father doesn't live with you?" Ji Xuan asked again.

The child said: "We live together, but I haven't seen him much. He only stays at home for one and a half days every month during the day."

"Yeah." Ji Xuan grunted and went into the next door again. The person next door was naturally a big man.

It was a bit cold next door. Although there was only a wall between us, the windows were sealed with iron bars and the door was also an iron door.

"How is your relationship between you and your wife? Your son said that you often leave early and come home late." Ji Xuan didn't go in, but still leaned against the door and asked.

"Not bad. My mother-in-law even gave me money." The big man said without hesitation, with a bit of showoff in his tone.

"I asked you, can you investigate the case properly? I'm in a hurry to bury my mother-in-law. The weather is getting hotter and hotter." The big man kept talking and continued one sentence after another.

Ji Xuan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

At this time, a government servant ran over and said, "Ji Tongzhi, someone reported a crime outside."

Ji Xuan was stunned and followed the yamen servant outside.

At about the same time, there was a noodle vendor in front.

Fang Wu and the others brought them back like this, and naturally they also ate them at the vendors.

"Let me tell you, the housing prices on Baihebi Gang are expensive again." A man with a mouth full of gold teeth said.

"It's expensive. I'm not short of money, but I don't believe it. Who else in this school county can compare with me." The woman sitting opposite the man, wearing a necklace and wearing a silk scarf, said indifferently.

"Can you pull it off? You don't need money to eat at the vendors? Why don't you go to a restaurant?"

The people watching the excitement at this stall couldn't stand it any longer, so they went over and took pictures of the table.

Fang Wu and Wu found it quite interesting to watch, but they felt that the talking woman was really annoying.

At this time, Zhang Xuan took the bamboo basket handed over by the store, pulled Fang Wu, who was still watching the excitement, and said: "Stop looking, have you seen it? The government officials in front are moving again. If you don't go back, you will be scolded."

Here you go."

Zhang Xuan said, carrying the bamboo basket and leaving.

Fang Wu weighed his feet and looked, and sure enough, many government officials entered the Bazi Hutong from all directions.

Although I only stayed in the yamen for three months, I also knew that as soon as someone reported a crime, the yamen would find the painter and the servants would come into the yamen.

Fang Wu stopped watching the excitement and hurriedly chased after her. She was not afraid of being scolded, but she was afraid of missing the case and not being able to stay in the future. If she wanted to stay in this yamen, she either had the ability or the money.

The eight-character alley was dark. In the hall, Ji Xuan leaned on a chair under the bright and bright plaque and squinted her eyes.

Fang Wu followed Zhang Xuan in. Many government officials in the hall were holding killing sticks, and a painter was painting something with an easel.

Before Fang Wu had time to understand the situation, he heard Zhang Xuan pulling a man in a green robe and saying: "Shopkeeper An is looking for someone from the household registration office? The business in this room will be over soon, I will find it for you."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Wu and Ji Xuan were both stunned. Fang Wu had not spoken yet.

Ji Xuan picked up the dusty gavel on the table and patted it slightly: "Who do you think he is? He is the person who reported the crime."

Fang Wu also took a step forward and looked at the people in the hall. Only Shopkeeper An and a short man in shorts next to Shopkeeper An, the rest were basically in official uniforms.

Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can probably tell that these two people are the people who reported the crime. Then why did Zhang Xuan still chat with the person who reported the crime?

And the two of them clearly looked familiar.

"Oh, he is the shopkeeper An of the Huichun Medicine Shop. He often attends clinics. I thought someone died in his shop, so I asked him if he was someone from the household registration office." Zhang Xuan whistled habitually, not embarrassed at all.

I introduced it to several people.

Zhang Xuan has been running around in Xuefu County for a long time, and he knows basically everyone in Xuefu County.

Of course, it's normal for someone who lives too far away and has a weird personality to not recognize him. After all, anyone who wants food should go to crowded places, right?

"Zhang Qizhi misunderstood. I'm looking for you." An Qing also said with a calm smile.

"Okay, let's go write the petition in the back hall, it's a never-ending day." Zhang Xuan nodded and dragged Ji Xuan into the squad room.

Fang Wu followed the three of them and also entered the class. The atmosphere here was not as tense as outside.

The table inside was covered with pictures and it was a mess.

Ji Xuan randomly found a piece of clean paper and stuffed it into An Qing's hands, sat down on the chair and watched him write.

In the room, all six eyes were staring at the piece of paper, but An Qing didn't pay much attention. She just wrote a few words and had time to browse the portraits on the table.

"Did you only lose one pack of black pockmarked seeds? Do you know when it disappeared?" Ji Xuan asked as she took the complaint.

"I don't know. Anyway, when I picked up the medicine today, I was short of one package. One package is eight taels." An Qing hesitated and replied.

"Then how did you discover it today? Could it be that someone used it on weekdays and didn't tell you?" Fang Wu asked.

Black Mock Seed is a drug used to treat insomnia, so it is very common and a commonly used drug.

"No, every pack of medicine is recorded. Today, this patient needs to use more. There is just enough in the cabinet, but I don't have enough. It must be short. I will do it after accounting.

From the Yamen." An Qing said with certainty.

"Do you know him?" Zhang Xuan saw An Qing always looking at the portrait of the big man, so he asked him about it.

"I don't know him, I just thought he looked strange, so I took a second look." An Qing said without hesitation.

When speaking, his eyes kept blinking, and even his lips were slightly raised.

This makes people feel that these words have been in his stomach for a long time, and it is just logical to say them.

"Well, let's go back and take a look at it. You can come back." Zhang Xuan nodded and sent the person out.
