The sun sets in the Chang family's bamboo courtyard.
All the villagers had been driven out of the courtyard. Apart from the five policemen guarding the door, the only ones left in the courtyard were master and servant Lu Shaoze and the child named Tie Wa.
Although the child was crying, he gave Lu a feeling that he was too mature!
The seven or eight-year-old child had no relatives to accompany him, so he knelt there in such a sensible manner and burned paper for his father.
The whole process only happened when Wang Captou moved the corpse.
Could it be that farm children mature prematurely?
This kind of situation is not exceptional in this era, so Lu Shaoze didn't care.
Instead, while Li Zheng was going to get the album, he squatted in front of the mourning hall.
And took some paper money from the boy's hand and threw it into the brazier.
"Tiewa, tell brother, do you have any relatives?"
Tie Wa shook his head, and Lu Shaoze continued to ask:
"Then who usually comes to see your father?"
As soon as these words came out, Tie Wa's body obviously paused, but in the end he shook his head.
Be careful about your age and learn to lie?
But Lu Shaoze was still patient, so he continued to explain his words step by step.
"You just need to tell brother what your father did before he died and who he met, okay?"
Tie Wa continued to shake his head.
"Your father died in an unknown manner, don't you want to avenge him?"
As soon as these words came out, Tiewa's eyes suddenly opened wide and he burst into tears.
"Daddy...wuwu...daddy..."
Seeing him like this, Lu Shaoze's originally gentle face suddenly became colder!
This kid obviously knew something, but he didn't say it.
Conceal it or report it?
Do you really think that you have a kind heart and are reluctant to do anything to your children?
But at this moment, Wang Baotou's anxious voice came from outside the hospital:
"My lord, my lord is not good..."
"grown ups…"
When Lu Shaoze heard this, he glanced at Tie Wa coldly, and then left the room with a frosty face.
"How is it appropriate for a headhunter to panic?"
"My lord, something is wrong. Chang Lizheng committed suicide by taking poison."
"What? Trash!"
Lu Shaoze was really a little angry. He was sent there just to keep an eye on things, just in case.
Is this how Te Niang sees it?
A dying old man actually committed suicide by taking poison in front of a policeman?
Don’t be afraid of making people laugh if you spread the word!
If there weren't so many people here, Lu Shaoze would really want to kill the guy in front of him.
What a waste!
"Keep an eye on the child inside. If you make another mistake, I will chop you with a knife!"
"I promise that I will take a good look at it. If there is anything wrong, I am willing to raise my head and come to see you."
Although he had Wang Baotou's guarantee, Lu Shaoze was still a little worried.
Then he winked at Fuji and motioned for him to stay too.
Then he took the five head catchers and went straight to Chang Li's house.
When they arrived, the people who came after hearing the sound had already surrounded the courtyard.
After all, Li Zheng is the leader of a village and has high prestige. His life and death is not a trivial matter!
The people were talking a lot, and looked at Lu Shaoze and others with hostility in their eyes.
If people from the government hadn't come, Li Zheng wouldn't have died!
However, there are also smart people in the village. This matter is full of weirdness, and they dare not make hasty conclusions.
Waiting to be arrested, Lu Shaoze quickly pushed aside the crowd and saw the old man lying on the ground.
This guy was bleeding from all his orifices, very similar to Chang Asan's death state.
"Search and find the village documents."
"yes!"
All the detectives responded, rushed into Li Zheng's house, and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets.
The people who were watching dared to be angry but dared not speak out!
At this time.
Lu Shaoze flicked his sleeves and said straight to the point:
"Now I suspect that Chang Futian is related to the thieves and commits suicide out of fear of guilt."
"Now I'm asking a question, and you'll answer it later!"
"If any of you know the truth and fail to report it, if found out in the future, you will be punished as a traitor. Do you understand?"
Someone from Lu shouted loudly, scaring the people around him into silence.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lu Shaoze continued to speak:
"Of course, I always have clear rewards and punishments. If you provide any useful clues, I will reward you with fifty taels of silver!"
This is not to say that Lu Shaoze is stingy. In fact, fifty taels is nothing more than a small sum to these common people.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise in the crowd.
"Fifty taels? I have to save for three or four years without eating or drinking."
"Yes, may I ask, sir, are you telling the truth? Are there really fifty taels?"
"..."
"Everyone be quiet, everything I said is true!"
As Lu Shaoze pressed his hands down, the scene immediately became much quieter.
At the same time, he also asked the first question:
"Does Chang Futian have a wife and children?"
Wife and children?
The people were whispering among themselves, and it was really unclear whether they were there or not.
"no?"
"have it?"
"..."
But just as everyone was talking about it, a fat woman with a headscarf on her head thought about it and suddenly jumped out and said:
"Yes, have you forgotten about Shen Ke's past forty years ago?"
As soon as these words came out, it seemed to instantly bring back everyone's memories.
Everyone froze in place and began to think about it.
Seeing this, Lu Shaoze immediately waved to the woman and asked with a smile:
"what did you just say?"
"Sir, are there really fifty taels?"
Lu Shaoze nodded, and the woman's face lit up and she started talking.
"You don't know something, but Zheng Zheng had a wife and children forty years ago.
But I heard that it was eaten by wild animals while cutting bamboo.
From that moment on, Li Zheng was alone and no longer engaged in marriage. "
"Sir, do you see this?"
After the woman finished speaking, she stretched out a chubby hand with some embarrassment. The meaning was self-evident.
Sir, it’s time to pay!
Lu Shaoze was not a stingy person. After seeing everyone around him nodding, he took out a few silver ingots and handed them to the woman.
"Fifty taels, take it."
"Ah? Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."
The woman said thank you while holding the silver in her teeth, with a smile on her face.
When the others saw that there was real money, their eyes immediately straightened.
"Sir, do you have any more questions, please ask me quickly?"
"Yes, sir, we must tell the truth."
"..."
Lu Shaoze didn't mind the enthusiasm of the people.
After all, anything that can be solved with money is no big deal.
Besides, how much you spend now, you can report it ten times as much when you go back.
Are you still worried that Your Majesty won't give it?
Tsk tsk~
"Next question, what is the relationship between Chang Asan and Chang Futian?"
"Sir, this little man knows that Chang Asan is the child of Chang Futian's cousin's aunt's niece."
What the hell is this relationship?
But as long as it’s related!
"Fifty taels, take it."
"Thank you, sir, thank you..."
"Last question, do any outsiders or vehicles pass by Xiaozhu Village during normal times?"
However, when faced with this most important question, the villagers collectively shook their heads after thinking about it.
"No."
"It doesn't seem to exist in the villain's memory."
Um? Could it be that I guessed wrong? ?
