Xu Can’s reaction wasn’t right…the kid was too calm.

"Sir?" Xu Can called out. Xiao Zhuang came to his senses and asked, "Do you know Hu Qiang?"

"I know him." Xu Can smiled and rubbed his hands: "He used to be my brother-in-law."

Xiaozhuang frowned: "Did you know he was dead?"

"I know. You just said it, sir... and the villagers said it too."

"Do you know how he died?"

"He must have drowned. I heard he was pulled out of a well." Xu Can laughed. "Brother-in-law is really something. How did he end up in the well? How are we going to get water from now on?"

Xu Can seemed really distressed and worried about the villagers' water supply problem.

Xiaozhuang felt it was very strange.

"Where were you on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month?"

"Home."

"You still remember something that happened so long ago?"

Xu Can blinked his big innocent eyes and said, "Sir, I'm just a child. I haven't gone out at night this whole year."

Xiaozhuang asked again: "Don't you hate her?"

Xu Can asked back: "Why do you hate him?"

"Your sister's matter..."

"My sister fell into the river and drowned. She was unlucky. It was her own bad luck. She can't blame anyone else."

Xu Can smiled and looked up, his overly large eyes fixed on Xiaozhuang as he said, "This is what Aunt Hu San told me. Please, sir, tell her what she said and comfort her... I don't want her to be sad."

Xiaozhuang: “…”

After leaving Xu's house, Xiaozhuang felt more and more that something was wrong. He took a few quick steps and hurried to find Constable Li.

Xu Can watched him until his figure disappeared, then he looked away.

Behind him, Old Man Xu said, "Get some paper and candles, and let's go tell Lan'er the good news."
