In the east of the city, the company member's wife's family.
"Oh, adults, please don't talk anymore," the company member himself pushed Xu Zun and others out of the door, "My little girl has died so tragically, so don't add fuel to our fire anymore, okay?"
As he spoke, he opened his arms to close the door.
"Hey, you are really ignorant!" Huo Anu slammed the iron umbrella on the door and shouted, "Are all your heads made of ice? She was murdered. Isn't it important to find the real culprit?"
"Oh, I really don't understand what you are talking about," the company member saw that he could not push the door open, so he simply sat on the threshold angrily and said, "I beg you adults, just let the little girl go, everyone is dead.
, besides reputation, what else do we care about?”
When talking about the sad part, the company members couldn't help but burst into tears.
Tsk tsk...
Xu Zun smacked his lips. Seeing that the old man was heartbroken and stubborn, Xu Zun turned to Huo Anu and Zhao Yu and said:
"In that case, let's go!"
"Sir...this..." Huo Anu was naturally unwilling, but Xu Zun had already spoken, so she could only take back the iron umbrella.
When the three people walked out of the alley, Xu Zun asked Huo Anu: "Anu, what did you mean when you just said that the head is made of ice?"
"This is our hometown dialect," Huo Anu replied, "it means that the brain has been frozen and the brain is not clear. In our place, ice is a derogatory term. To say that a person is ice-cold means that he is stupid."
oh……
Xu Zun realized that it seemed that people from the Western Regions used "ice" as "二".
"Sir," Zhao Yu said from the side, "Actually, if we had persuaded that company member just now and made it clear to him that we would not make it public, he might have told the truth, right?"
"Maybe, but," Xu Zun said calmly, "Actually, there is no need for him to say anything. From his reaction, it can be seen that Ran Lin's wife should also..." before marrying Ran Lin.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zun was halfway through his words when he suddenly saw a person emerging from the entrance of the alley.
What's even more surprising is that this person is none other than the corps commander Ran Lin!
But Ran Lin's eyes were wide open with anger, her eyes were red, and she looked extremely angry.
"It's you?"
Huo Anu saw this man approaching with menacing force and immediately held the iron umbrella.
At the same moment, Zhao Yu also took the initiative to block in front of Xu Zun.
"Master Ti Xing," Ran Lin strode towards Xu Zun and said excitedly, "I just went to my father-in-law's house to pick up something. I heard everything you said!"
ah?
At this moment, Xu Zun and others were instantly embarrassed. No one expected that the words they least wanted Ran Lin to hear would actually be heard by Ran Lin.
"Actually..." Ran Lin came to Xu Zun, first looked around, then suddenly slumped like a deflated rubber ball, and said with a grimace, "You don't need to tell me, I already knew..."
oh……
Xu Zun and others were surprised for the second time.
"But... I don't regret it..." Ran Lin signaled Xu Zun and the others to enter the alley, and then revealed the truth, "The company member's wife is from a wealthy and aristocratic family. How could his daughter marry such a small person like me?"
Wu Zheng?
"Since the day of the matchmaking, I have often heard some rumors. So...then I did some research...
"Yushu was young and ignorant, and got acquainted with a poor and unscrupulous scholar," Ran Lin said calmly. "The scholar was so bold that he crossed the wall in the middle of the night and had a private meeting with Yushu. Because of this, Yushu lost her integrity, and... she also became pregnant.
.
"Yu Shu hid it from her family at first, but later she couldn't hide it anymore, and then the incident came to light and was discovered by her family." Ran Lin added, "The company members saw that the raw rice had been cooked outside, so they had to arrange for Yu Shu to give birth to the child first.
, and then prepare to bring that poor scholar into his wife’s family...
"Unexpectedly, the scholar was imprisoned because of a lawsuit involving human life, and was later sent to the frontier.
"So, I don't need to go into detail about what happened next, right?" Ran Lin sighed, "If it hadn't been for this cause and effect, Yushu wouldn't have become my wife.
"However, one thing I need to explain is that although Yushu made mistakes and was unruly, she is indeed a kind and gentle woman.
"The two of us are happily married," Ran Lin suddenly shed tears from the corner of her eyes, "Now that I'm pregnant again, I thought we could have a family relationship, but unexpectedly, the yin and yang are separated!
"Sir, you can ask," Ran Lin said, "As long as the murderer can be found, I will tell you everything you ask me.
"Also, although I am in a lowly position, if you are of any use to me, Ran Lin, please feel free to ask!"
Seeing such a tough man with tears in his eyes, Xu Zun and others felt deep sympathy.
"How many people know about your wife's matter?" Xu Zun asked.
"I'm afraid... it's no longer a secret among the neighbors!" Ran Lin said helplessly, "Gossips about a wealthy family are definitely more likely to spread than ordinary families.
"This scandal was already causing quite a stir at the beginning, and the unscrupulous scholar was also a guy with a very loose mouth, so... tsk tsk..."
"The child Yushu gave birth to back then," Xu Zun asked again, "was it a boy or a girl? Where is it now?"
"This..." Ran Lin shook her head, "I really don't know about this! I only heard that the child was still alive and was given away by them. For the rest, I... I don't need to trouble myself, right?"
oh……
Xu Zun thought deeply and asked again: "Ran Lin, tell me honestly, when did you know about this? Before or after marriage?"
"Is this...important?" Ran Lin was confused and didn't understand why Xu Zun asked in such detail.
"It is very important for the investigation!" Xu Zun gave a firm answer.
"Actually, I only heard rumors before the marriage," Ran Lin said, "but when I learned the truth...we were already married.
"To be honest with you, when I learned the truth, I was really depressed and had a period of confusion. But later, as I got along with Yushu, I gradually opened up my heart!
"If you really love each other, why should you care about the worldly past? If I live in other people's words all day long, how unfair will my life be?
"It's a pity that Yushu..." Ran Lin's tears fell again, "I really don't understand, she is so kind, why would someone harm her in such a cruel way?"
"Okay, I understand," Xu Zun said immediately when he saw that Ran Lin was about to lose control, "Just wait for my news! In the past few days, I might really need your help with something."
"Don't worry, sir," Ran Lin immediately knelt down on one knee, "As long as I can catch the killer who killed my wife, I won't hesitate to risk my life!"
After bidding farewell to Ran Lin, Xu Zun and the other three walked along the street.
Xu Zun's mind was heavy and he thought about the case while walking.
Seeing Xu Zun thinking deeply, Huo Anu and Zhao Yu also followed behind silently.
When the case was investigated to this point, Xu Zun felt that he was close to the truth.
Whether it was Lian Kong back then or the monk-yi killer now, their purpose of killing was most likely because those women had given birth to children out of wedlock.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will send their children to the temple for adoption by monks.
Therefore, after killing people, monk-robed killers would put these women in monk's robes and place the bodies in temples.
And the reason why he put the corpses in a cross-legged position was not to ask them to chant sutras and meditate, but to ask them to repent in front of the Buddha...
