This is a small and dilapidated wooden house. The room is covered with spider silk. Under the spider silk, there is only an incense table. On the incense table, there are some rotten fruits and incense burners.
And in front of these is a tablet.
If that was the case, it wouldn't surprise Chen Ke. What really surprised him was the name on the spirit tablet. His brother Chen Yue's name was clearly written on it.
When he saw that name, Chen Ke almost thought he was dreaming.
Why is his brother's tablet here? Hasn’t Jin always been doing business jointly in his brother’s name?
Moreover, I had just asked Jin where her brother had gone the day before yesterday. At that time, Jin only said that her brother had gone to the county seat and would be back in a month.
But now, he saw his brother's tablet here.
It seemed that there was something fishy about his brother's death.
For some reason, Chen Ke felt an unknown fire suddenly come to his heart.
Although his brother was indeed not a good person, he was his brother after all. How could he let others do anything to his brother?
At this moment, Chen Ke just wanted to rush over to find Jin.
However, Xu Zhilan, who brought him here, suddenly suppressed Chen Ke's hands and feet and said, "Don't be impulsive first."
Chen Ke's eyes were red at this moment, "How could I not be excited? That man is my brother!"
Xu Zhilan quickly comforted Chen Ke and said, "I'm telling you not to get excited. I'm not telling you not to take revenge. I'm telling you to at least calm down your emotions first and don't let impulsive emotions dominate your mind."
After saying this, Xu Zhilan just hugged Chen Ke, and Chen Ke gradually calmed down in Xu Zhilan's hug.
Xu Zhilan then whispered, "Actually, I have already tied up Jin for you, so you don't have to worry about her leaving. All you have to do now is to ask Jin about the past."
Hearing Xu Zhilan's words. Chen Ke only looked at Xu Zhilan in surprise. After a long moment, he whispered, "You...you tied up the Jin family? Why?"
Xu Zhilan smiled and whispered, "Why do you think it can be done?"
Chen Ke recalled that Xu Zhilan had brought him here all the way. If Xu Zhilan had not brought him here, he might not even know that something had happened to his brother.
If this was the case, he would either go to the county town to find his brother, or stay in the town and wait for his brother to come back.
But since Jin lied, she must have some tricks up her sleeve? If she really did something to her brother, then who can guarantee that she wouldn't do it to herself.
And there is no need for Xu Zhilan to get into the muddy waters of the Jin family.
When he thought of this, his eyes when he looked at Xu Zhilan were filled with gratitude.
"So you are here for me?" Chen Ke couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Xu Zhilan only nodded slightly when she heard this, "I can never let my people be bullied by others."
Hearing Xu Zhilan's words, Chen Ke was suddenly stunned.
Xu Zhilan thought he thought she said something wrong.
Therefore, she immediately corrected her and said, "Of course you are no longer mine, but we still had a relationship after all, right? So even if it's just to help an old friend, I can't refuse to save him."
After listening to Xu Zhilan's words, Chen Ke just looked at Xu Zhilan quietly. After a long time, Xu Zhilan heard Chen Ke say thank you to her.
Xu Zhilan just smiled and waved her hand and said, "Okay, are you calm now?"
Chen Ke nodded sheepishly.
Xu Zhilan then took Chen Ke to see Jin.
In the firewood shed, half of the wall was filled with firewood. When Xu Zhilan took Chen Ke to the firewood shed, she saw that all the firewood on that half of the wall had collapsed, but Jin, who was supposed to be lying here, was nowhere to be seen. . ..
For a moment, Chen Ke almost thought that Jin had escaped.
However, there were no other doors or windows in the woodshed, and when they first entered, the door to the only woodshed was clearly locked, so the Jin family should have no chance to escape from here.
Therefore, after a moment of worry, Chen Ke immediately focused his attention on the collapsed firewood wall.
Xu Zhilan is obviously better than
He thought of this possibility faster, so before Chen Ke could take action, Xu Zhilan had already pulled away the firewood in advance.
Seeing that Xu Zhilan had already taken action, Chen Ke naturally could not continue to stand still. He and Xu Zhilan simultaneously began to pick up the firewood that had been chopped into sections. Unexpectedly, they found blood in the firewood. At that moment, Chen Ke Ke Bian pulled faster, but within a moment, Jin's figure also appeared under the firewood.
Her head was hit beyond recognition by the fallen firewood, and her body was covered in blood.
When Chen Ke put his hand under her nose to test it, it was obvious that Mrs. Chen had been out of breath for a long time.
After discovering Jin's body, Chen Ke only made eye contact with Xu Zhilan.
"Now the Jin family is also dead." Chen Ke said with some dejection.
Xu Zhilan was wondering, "Is this an accident or man-made?"
However, while they were thinking, Xinguan unexpectedly barged in. Xu Zhilan immediately said to Xinguan, "Xinguan, the Jin family is dead."
Xinguan also glanced at Jin with some surprise, but after seeing the blood-stained Jin, his expression seemed to become more anxious.
"We must leave now!" When Xinguan said this, he immediately pulled Xu Zhilan up.
Xu Zhilan immediately asked, "Why?"
Xinguan didn't say anything, but picked up Xu Zhilan and left.
Xu Zhilan was naturally worried about leaving Chen Ke here alone, so she immediately pulled Chen Ke along.
Fortunately, Xinguan acted very quickly. Almost before the group of people broke in, he quickly flew up to the eaves of the woodshed with Xu Zhilan in his left hand and Chen Ke in his right hand. At the same time, a group of people holding sticks in their hands The men just opened the wooden door and rushed directly into the woodshed and the like.
Leading the way was a thug from Jin's courtyard. The thug only pointed at the broken wooden door and said, "Yesterday, those three strong men occupied the Chen family mansion and tied up the wife. I want to secretly go and give it to her this morning." Madam untied the rope, but she died inside. I think they must have done it."
After hearing the thug's words, a group of people carrying sticks immediately rushed into the woodshed.
They have different body shapes and different attires. The only thing they probably have in common right now is that they look flabby and don't look like professional thugs.
And the weapons they held were not professional. It seems to be nothing more than a temporary ragtag group organized by nearby residents.
Maybe in actual combat, they might not be as powerful as Jin's thugs.
When she saw these people, Xu Zhilan immediately expressed her confusion in a low voice, "Xinguan, they don't look as powerful as Jin's thugs, what are we hiding from?"
Hearing this, Xinguan was obviously speechless at Xu Zhilan's blank stare. He did not answer Xu Zhilan's words. Instead, Chen Ke, who had been observing the movements of those people below, explained to Xu Zhilan in a low voice, "They all seem to be some in this town." It’s not difficult to deal with the rich and famous, but the relationship network of this kind of squire family is intricate. If we really touch these people, I’m afraid we won’t be able to stay here in the future.”
Hearing Chen Ke's explanation, Xu Zhilan obviously understood. In other words, if Xinguan touched these people, the matter would definitely cause a big problem. If the trouble went to the capital, she would happen to be found out. Wouldn't it be exposed that he was not dead?
Therefore, when Xu Zhilan thought of this risk, she stopped talking.
When the group of people below entered the woodshed and saw the tragic death of the Jin family, they all said in unison, "How could the Jin family do this? Those thieves are too abominable. But since you said there were only three of them, the Jin family's courtyard There are so many thugs, why can’t you deal with three of them? Are you just for a living?"
When the thug heard the words, he immediately echoed, "You gentlemen don't know that although there are only three of them, one of them has a very good martial arts. A group of us surrounded him, but he can hit us invisibly, and almost all of the people he hits can hit us." Not a single one can move.”
Apparently there was another person who was doubtful and asked, "Is there really such a powerful person in a small place like ours?"
The thug just nodded immediately after hearing this.
"If that's the case, we don't dare to act rashly. This matter should be reported to the official." Unexpectedly, at this time, another person took the initiative to retreat after hearing that the other party was very powerful.
But other people are interested in the person who wants to quit.
There is obviously no sense of identity.
One of the leaders, an old man who looked like a villager, only said to the thugs, "Where are those three thieves now? Take us there to look for them."
After listening to the old man's words, the thug immediately nodded.
The group of people then quickly went to other courtyards.
After they all left, Xinguan finally said, "They came here early this morning to cause trouble. Why did they come to make trouble? But they didn't expect that it was the Jin family who died. Apparently, they wanted to kill the Jin family." Death is on us, and if we show up rashly now, we will definitely clash with them."
"But if we don't show up, wouldn't it confirm their suspicions?" Chen Ke immediately argued.
However, Xinguan obviously does not agree with Chen Ke's speculation. "It's easy to sit down. They don't know who we are anyway. So we'd better just leave here and go to live in another place. Things here may be different." There was a commotion for a while, but I believe that the real culprit will not be found and this matter will disappear soon."
However, Chen Ke said, "What disappeared? If you want to leave, you go! I can't leave! I have to explain to them. I also have to find out what happened to my brother's death."
After saying this, Chen Ke was about to rush down.
However, when Xu Zhilan heard this, she immediately hugged Chen Ke's arm.
Then Xu Zhilan comforted her in a low voice, "If we don't leave, I won't leave you alone, but don't be too impulsive. If you rush down now, they will not find any benefit at all except using you as a scapegoat."
After hearing Xu Zhilan's words, Chen Ke finally stopped being impulsive.
He looked at Xu Zhilan dejectedly and said, "Then what should I do?"
