As soon as the sun rose, Chen Yan took people to search around the village.

He asked about the appearance of the three bandits who had committed suicide.

Chen Liang said it once, and suddenly, he turned to look at Chen Yan: "How do you know there are three?"

He never said there were three gangsters.

He looked at Chen Yan suspiciously, but Chen Yan said expressionlessly, "Shen Qingyun just said that three gangsters came in..."

The village chief's son also agreed: "Yeah, didn't your father just say that? What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

Chen Liang shook his head: "No problem."

Nanqiao Village is backed by mountains to the north and has a wide road, crops and wasteland to the south. It is hard to say where these bandits went. If they were ordinary bandits, they would definitely go into the mountains. If you hide in the mountains, no one can catch you.

But Chen Yan thought that he took the main road, but he did not explain why.

Chen Liang disagreed and said, "Then let's split up. I want to go into the mountains to look for it."

Chen Liang felt that if the bandits were sane, they would definitely escape into the mountains.

The two sides had different opinions. Chen Liang suggested splitting the troops into two groups, but everyone stood on Chen Yan's side.

Chen Liang was shocked: "You also think the bandits will take the main road?"

Of course not, everyone just thinks Chen Yan is stronger.

Compared to those bandits he had never met, Chen Yan looked more like a desperado.

If you encounter danger, what's the use of sinking grain? But Chen Yan is different. He dares to fight the bandits with a knife.

Sunken grain…

He was unable to convince anyone and could only follow Chen Yan reluctantly.

The village chief's son was talking to Shen Yan the whole time. Sometimes Shen Yan would respond, and sometimes he would just ignore him. No one else dared to talk to Shen Yan.

As Chen Liang watched, he felt a little unbalanced. What was Chen Yan like then? And what was he like now? Were these villagers crazy? Why were they trying to curry favor with him?

…

"You mean, someone set the fire shortly after the bandits arrived?" The village chief looked at the Shen family.

The Shen family nodded. They were very scared at the time and felt that they were all doomed. But suddenly someone set a fire. The bandits were afraid of attracting people, so they took the silver and ran away.

As for who set the fire, they didn't know.

The village chief affirmed: "It was Li Fei who released it."

He went there at the same time as Li Fei, so the fire must have been set by Li Fei.

Maybe these gangsters had an internal conflict with Li Fei and Wang Ming, and they killed Wang Ming, so Li Fei got angry and wanted to burn the gangsters to death...

The village chief also made the same guess after the government officials arrived, and told them everything he had seen.

The ones who came this time were Xiaozhuang, Constable Zhang, and other constables from several yamen.

Constable Zhang hadn't expected that Li Fei was also involved, and that he was the biggest suspect in this matter. For a moment, he was filled with emotion...

Xiaozhuang felt that something was wrong. Why was it Nanqiao Village again? And why was the Shen family related to Shen Yan...

Xiaozhuang is a little bit unconvinced that this is a coincidence.

He walked up to Su Wei and asked, "Where's Chen Yan?"

Su Wei: "The village chief organized people to find the murderer, and Chen Yan followed them."

The village chief opened his mouth and said that this was correct.

"Where were you last night?"

Su Wei: "I'm sleeping at home."

Xiaozhuang smiled: "Did you hear any noise next door?"

Su Wei shook his head, then nodded: "There are many people coming in and out of the Wang family every day, and they often make noise in the middle of the night, but I didn't take it seriously."

The village chief chimed in, "After Wang Ming returned from prison, he often gathered some people to gamble at his house, and it was indeed going on until midnight."

In fact, people nearby can hear the noise every day, but they dare not say anything. Even if there was any movement last night, no one around would come out to take a look.

Of course Xiaozhuang couldn't get anything out of Su Wei, so he could only check Wang Ming's body. He was killed by a knife, a very sharp and small knife. So he secretly asked someone to go to Chen Yan's house to see if there was a similar knife.

Su Wei knew where he was going, but she knew they would never find him.

Because that knife wasn't Chen Yan's, it was Qin Yu's, the one he'd said he used to disembowel his prey...

Su Wei also admired him. Cooking a meal required so many twists and turns. In this village, whoever stewed meat didn't kill the animal first, then gutted it, cut it into eight pieces, and cleaned them before putting it in the pot...

It seems Qin Yu has no life experience...

This made Qin Yu's threat last night ridiculous, because Su Wei was with him, and Chen Yan had used his knife to kill someone...

Isn't this complicity...

Since they were accomplices, why did Qin Yu foolishly threaten Chen Yan...

Su Wei felt a little sympathetic towards Qin Yu...

I don’t know if he has eaten at this time?

The detectives were busy, and the villagers were all eating melons. Seeing that no one had gone back to eat at noon, Su Wei was about to make something to eat. When he looked up, he saw a familiar person eating melons...

Han Yu...

Su Weiyi slapped her forehead and said that she had forgotten something, and forgot about Han Yu. They had agreed to go to the border together today...

"Brother Han."

Su Wei ran over. Han Yu was sitting on the ox cart, looking inside curiously. He didn't care whether he went to the border or not, and kept asking Su Wei what happened.

Su Weiyi told him everything in detail.

"Sorry, Brother Han, something happened in the village this morning and we forgot about you..."

Han Yu waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. Tell me in more detail. Who died? How did they die? Why were you so careless?"

Looking at the flames of gossip burning in his eyes, Su Wei was a little speechless. She pointed to a small group of people not far away.

"Brother Han, the guy in gray clothes and a straw hat is called Liu Laosi. Go listen to what he says. I guarantee he'll tell you more details than I did. Oh, and I'll have some stewed chicken at home for lunch. Come over and have some..."
