Lin Jian felt a chill running down his spine and said tremblingly: "Didn't that woman say that this girl... died of illness?"
"There is no truth in that woman's mouth." Fang Zilan looked solemn, "She said that Miss Yan'er knew it was a plague after entering the village. However, when I met her at Mushan Pass, she said it was a plague. Plague. If not, why would King Rongan have any reason to close the road?"
A Wan reacted suddenly, "From Si Pa to Miss Yan'er, everything that woman told secretly was all lies, which means she must know who killed Miss Yan'er."
"Lin Jian, go find a cart, and we will take Miss Yan'er to confront that woman." Fang Zilan ordered in a cold voice. Lin Jian shrank in fear, with a confused look on his face: "Master Fang, the Lin family With the current situation in the village, where should I go..."
"If you can't find it, do it yourself." Fang Zilan interrupted him impatiently, "Do you understand me?"
"It's clear, it's clear..." Lin Jian nodded, turned around and ran out.
Awan took out a pair of clean clothes from the package, put on the hand clothes, and was about to change Xia Houyan's clothes when she heard Fang Zilan say: "I'll do it."
"It's okay." Awan shook her head gently, "This is Miss Yan'er, I'm not afraid."
Fang Zilan didn't speak anymore and let Awan change Xia Houyan's clothes. Then she stood up and lowered her eyes and said: "There are traces of rope binding on Miss Yan'er's body, but the fatal injury is indeed the one on her neck. She was beaten alive." Hanged."
Fang Zilan stretched out her hand to hold Awan's shoulder, with murderous intent in her eyes, "I will definitely seek justice for Miss Yan'er, and no one who hurt her will survive."
Awan nodded with tears in her eyes and choked with sobs: "Miss Yan'er is so good, who on earth... killed her..."
Her low sobs were particularly abrupt in the lonely forest. After an unknown amount of time, the crunching sound overwhelmed her voice. It was Lin Jian who came back pushing the cart.
"Master Fang, this..." Lin Jian hesitantly parked the trolley next to Fang Zilan. She didn't say anything but put Xia Houyan on it gently, "Let's go back and find that woman."
After saying that, she strode back, followed closely by Lin Jian and Awan, and soon they were back in front of the courtyard.
The sky was getting dark, and smoke drifted out of the courtyard. Fang Zilan pushed the door unceremoniously and entered. The door panel could not bear her exertion and fell to the ground with a clang.
Hearing the noise, the woman ran out. When she saw it was the three of them again, she involuntarily took a few steps back, "You..."
"I found the person." Fang Zilan said and walked to the woman with a plum sword in hand. She backed away and murmured: "How is it possible, impossible..."
Fang Zilan didn't talk nonsense to her. He led her to the cart with his sword, "Open your eyes and see clearly. The medical girl Xia Houyan who entered the village is now in front of you."
The woman turned her head away and did not dare to look, but Fang Zilan grabbed the back of her neck and forcibly turned her around. She whispered in the woman's ear: "If you don't look, I will break your neck right now."
Hearing this, the woman struggled in fear. Fang Zilan pinched her neck fiercely. She couldn't breathe and turned blue, "Don't..."
Fang Zilan threw the woman to the ground and said coldly: "Tell me, why did she die?"
The woman trembled, coughed twice and said, "She just contracted the plague..."
As soon as the woman spoke, she screamed. Fang Zilan cut off the tendon of her left hand and brought her to Xia Houyan again, "I'll give you one last chance. I'd better give it a try. Is your mouth tough enough?" I have enough ways to torture people."
"I say, I say!" the woman burst into tears, "She was helpless against the plague and couldn't bear the blow and hanged herself..."
This time, before the woman finished speaking, she screamed again. Fang Zilan broke her right hamstring, let go and let her fall to the ground, "It's a pity. I originally wanted to leave the whole bodies of you mother and son, but now It doesn’t seem necessary.”
As she spoke, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled cruelly, "Lin Jian, bring that child out for me."
Lin Jian was so frightened by her cruel look that he immediately ran into the house after her instructions to find the child.
When the woman saw Lin Jian breaking into the house, she was obviously panicked, "What are you going to do? I didn't lie. Look at the red mark on her neck..."
Fang Zilan suddenly laughed out loud, "It seems that I can only demonstrate it to you in person."
"What do you mean?" The woman's eyes were full of fear. Awan couldn't see it, and walked up to her and said angrily: "The hanged person's face was bruised and swollen, and his tongue was hanging out. He died of suffocation. And the person who was hanged was He died of a broken neck bone, a completely different look."
After hearing what she said, the woman froze on the spot. Seeing this, Fang Zilan suppressed a smile and said playfully: "Awan, you kindly explain, but she may not be able to hear it. It's better to let her see it."
At this time, Lin Jian had already grabbed the child and walked out. Fang Zilan grabbed the child. Regardless of his crying, he turned to the woman and asked: "Choose one for him, hanging or strangulation?"
"No!" The woman dragged her legs towards Fang Zilan and gestured indifferently, "Then let me choose. Hanging will kill him faster and he won't suffer too much."
"No! Please, I said, I will say anything!" The woman stretched out her hand to touch the corner of Fang Zilan's clothes. Blood dripped from her wrist and dyed the hem of her clothes red.
Fang Zilan pinched the back of the child's neck and made no move. The woman lay on the ground, raised her head and said quickly: "It's none of my business. It was my elder brother and the security chief who killed her!"
Fang Zilan leaned over and raised her chin with the tip of his sword, "Brother, why did you want to kill her?"
"She said that the fisherman who was sent to the village had the plague. Brother and the others didn't believe it. After all, the person who sent the fishermen gave so much money. Who would spend money on a person who was dying of the plague?" The woman did not dare to move for fear of the sword. The spike pierced his neck, and he said cautiously: "So the eldest brother and the others worked together to tie her up and lock her up."
Fang Zilan relaxed a little, and the tip of the sword was a little further away from her, "What happened next?"
"Later the fisherman died, and the family who took the fishermen in also got sick. Brother and the others felt something was wrong, but it was too late." The woman bit her lip, her voice trembling, "Brother, I don't know who I heard, saying that only those who get the plague can If everyone is dead, others will not be infected, so..."
She didn't dare to continue, so Fang Zilan said: "So you killed the family that took in the fishermen, and killed her as well?"
The woman nodded, but Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm a fool if I still lie now?"
"What?" The woman's face was full of horror, and she said sternly every word: "Later, more and more people were infected with the plague in the village, and it seemed that you couldn't hide it from the villagers, so you simply came to the mass grave. There was a massacre, am I right?”
