When Zhang Xuan came back, he heard Ji Xuan say: "The reporter just said that his wake-up time today is different from before. The only people who can know about this are the victim and the big man. The possibility of the big man is high enough. Could it be the big man?
Did you steal the bag of black pockmarks, stun Liu Shumei, and then make it look like she committed suicide?"
"Impossible." Zhang Xuan and Fang Wu said at the same time.
"Why did you make this decision?" Ji Xuan was stunned. This time, he simply asked without any pressure.
"He didn't hesitate at all when he spoke, as if he was sure that we would ask, and he had already prepared the answer." Fang Wu said.
"Besides, I thought he didn't have such a bad habit of stealing." Fang Wu thought for a while and said.
What she still remembered about the exchange between her and her child that day in the house was that no matter how loud and complicated the argument was, she didn't steal the medicine. Why did she steal the medicine instead?
I can't explain this clearly.
"An Qing lied. He was in the clinic, but he didn't take medicine at all. There is a clerk in Huichun Hall who specializes in taking medicine. He is not familiar with the quantity of medicine. This is always the case."
Zhang Xuan said with certainty.
"Are you sure? He seems to know you very well." Fang Wu was stunned and turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan leaned against the table carelessly, his tongue endlessly twirling around in his mouth, and his eyes looked like a plaything.
She had the impression that she had never seen Zhang Xuan serious.
"He understands me, but I can't understand him? And how do you prove that these two bags of black pockmarks are related?" Zhang Xuan whistled and pushed Ji Xuan.
"Then tell me how to investigate this case. Anyway, I'm not doing anything right." Ji Xuan sat there, motionless, not caring about Zhang Xuan's little effort to push him.
"Why is everything wrong? I still agree with what the master said that Liu Shumei's death is related to the big man. But we can't find the motive and evidence of the crime, so everyone is guessing."
Fang Wu puffed up her mouth and said somewhat flatteringly. She found that her master was sometimes a little delicate.
Ji Xuan lowered her head and said, "Then check the social relationship between these two people. Since you said he lied, maybe you can find out something, but I still feel that this big man may not have clean hands and feet."
"Now, let's eat. I'm going to borrow my household registration. After eating, hurry up and get to work. I'm waiting for a drink!" Zhang Xuan took out his hand and handed the bamboo basket to the two of them.
The two nodded, took out the noodles from the basket and started eating.
"Master, why do you always think he is capable of stealing? We have investigated and found that he should have money, so he cannot afford to buy Wu Mazi. This medicine is common, so the price shouldn't be expensive, right?"
Although Fang Wu was eating, she was also thinking about the case. She urgently wanted to stay, and since she was from a poor background, she didn't have the rule of not saying anything when she ate.
"It's not expensive, just one piece of silver per bag." Ji Xuan said bluntly.
Fang Wu was stunned, this price is not cheap.
Their family's monthly expenses are only three taels of silver, but five taels of silver is equivalent to one piece of silver.
Even though they are all made of silver, the weight, size, and patterns on them are all different.
Fang Wu nodded as if he understood something, and thought about it while eating. Sure enough, people at different levels have different perspectives.
"The big man is Xu Daqiao. They have been married for seven years, and the child is five and a half years old." Zhang Xuan walked in.
As he spoke, he spread out the household registration paper and picked up the noodles that were still in the basket.
For a moment, although six pairs of eyes were looking at the paper, the sniffing sound could also be heard in the class room.
"Where's An Qing's?" Fang Wu put down the bowl, flipped the piece of paper, and raised his head and asked.
"If you rub it, you will lose some meat? Don't be lazy like your master!" Zhang Xuan was tidying up the dishes and teasing Ji Xuan, who was slumped on the chair across from him.
"Yes, you are diligent, and if you are diligent, you still need to be paid to take care of you. I thought that these two people should have no intersection, but I do not rule out the introduction of an intermediary. After all, An Qing is the shopkeeper and knows many people. Otherwise, I can go up the mountain and
Come on, you two go to the drug store." Ji Xuan rolled her eyes and said.
There are only a few words in Xu Daqiao's household registration, but it only took a few seconds to read it.
Therefore, after reading it, Ji Xuan thought about the possibility that these two people knew each other.
The two of them live far away from each other, with no intersection, and Xu Daqiao only goes up the mountain and goes home, but something doesn't seem right. This person's life is a bit too simple, right? There is no change at all.
Also, where did the prey he caught go? Was it sold on the mountain?
"Master, An Qing has connections with people from Yahang." After Fang Wu read it, he pushed the household registration over. She still felt that Ji Xuan should take a look, but she didn't know why.
"Yaxong? Looking for a waiter?" Zhang Xuan whistled.
"The mountain between Zuitao Village and Xihe Village goes up from between the two villages, right?" Ji Xuan had already stood up and looked at Zhang Xuan to make sure.
"Stop, let's go together, the three of us together." Zhang Xuan pulled Ji Xuan, who had not taken a step, and said.
Ji Xuan shook off Zhang Xuan's hand and said, "No, just split up."
"No hurry, no hurry, we will go to the drug store together when we get down the mountain." Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Fang Wu didn't understand much when he saw this scene. It seemed that for the first time, he saw a nervous look in Zhang Xuan's eyes, without any trace of amusement.
"I need to think about the problem quietly." Ji Xuan said helplessly. He knew what Zhang Xuan was worried about, but he didn't want to be worried like this.
"No, you don't need to." Zhang Xuan said, dragging a person out of the Yamen and towards the back of Xihe Village.
Xihe Village is in the west and Zuitao Village is in the east, with a river sandwiched between the two villages. There is only a mountain to the south of Xihe Village, but the mountain to the south is steep and few people walk on it.
They usually walk on the mountain path upstream of the river, so strictly speaking, what Ji Xuan just said is not entirely correct...
The breeze is blowing, and among the saplings, there are already many yellows quietly taking over the green's home ground.
Three people were walking on a path in the mountains holding a scroll of portraits. There was still some mud here.
Going up the path, several people were searching for some blood stains in the grass.
The reason why I looked for blood stains was because there was a lot of hunting in the morning and there were fewer people at this time.
There were no traps in this mountainous area and it was very quiet, so they could only follow the bloodstains to see if they could find the crowd.
Zhang Xuan climbed this mountain once or twice when he was young, but after all, he is old and doesn't remember much.
"Is this the only way up and down the mountain?" Ji Xuan asked.
"Nonsense." Zhang Xuan said impatiently, and as he spoke, he pulled the other two people to squat down.
Following Zhang Xuan's eyes, Ji Xuan saw a rabbit.
To be precise, it was a rabbit with a bow and arrow stuck on its ankle, limping around and looking for something clumsily.
Fang Wu looked at the rabbit, then looked around, but found no one, not even a single footprint.
But, if there are no humans around, how can there be injured rabbits?
