The most important thing is, why did he kill someone when they got here? Why did he kill someone at any other time? If she wasn't sure she didn't know him, she would have suspected that this person did it on purpose! Lu Wan thought so and couldn't help but say it out loud. Thinking of her family, she now wished she could grind this criminal to dust. He was simply wasting her time!
Chen Yan looked at Lu Wan's changing expressions, understood what she was thinking, and suddenly hugged her with some heartache, comforting her: "It's okay, don't worry." This "don't worry" has two meanings. One is to answer her previous question and let her rest assured that nothing will happen. The other is to let her rest assured that they will be able to go home soon. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be nothing wrong with his idea, and the investigation will naturally be completed soon. He is confident of this.
After that, neither of them spoke, just hugged each other quietly, but the atmosphere was unusually gentle. At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and a respectful voice came from outside: "Sir, Madam, we have arrived at the Jia Mansion, please get off the carriage."
Chen Yan looked at Lu Wan with some regret. Why didn't they walk a little longer? Normally, Lu Wan wouldn't be so quiet to let her hold him. Lu Wan's face flushed and she glared at him, meaning that he should be more careful. Then she got off the carriage without waiting for him. It was obvious that she was shy. Shen Yan smiled gently, not caring, and followed Lu Wan to get off the carriage.
The three of them adjusted their expressions and walked into the Jia Mansion one by one with serious faces. The people inside were in chaos and no one saw them come in. They probably got the news that Mr. Jia was dead, so they were so unscrupulous.
After a long time, seeing that no one paid any attention to them, the county magistrate had no choice but to put his fist to his mouth and cough loudly twice to remind them that someone was entering the mansion. When the chaotic crowd heard the sound, they all looked at them impatiently, and then there was silence. Just when the county magistrate thought they didn't know who he was, someone in the crowd finally shouted, "It's the county magistrate!"
When the others heard this, their faces turned pale and they all suddenly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me! My lord, please forgive me!" Everyone knew that the people should not fight against the officials. Now that the county magistrate is right in front of them, they have ignored him for such a long time. Naturally, they are afraid that he will find some random crime to put them in jail. Who can they cry to then?
The county magistrate was somewhat displeased when he saw this, but considering that Shen Yan and Lu Wan were still there, he did not embarrass them. He waved his sleeves with great momentum and said, "Get up." Then he turned around and said to Shen Yan in a friendly manner, "Do whatever you want."
Shen Yan nodded at him calmly, then looked at the people in the Jia Mansion and ordered, "Everyone who was with Master Jia yesterday, please stand up."
The people below were silent for a while, and they kept looking at the people around them. Seeing that Chen Yan was a little impatient, a few people stood up. "You guys line up in the order of yesterday." Shen Yan saw someone coming out and continued to give orders.
Shen Yan glanced at Lu Wan, who immediately understood what he meant and nodded slightly.
They walked towards the lined-up people and scanned them carefully, not missing any expression on their faces. He asked about their identities, "Tell me your identities."
The men looked at each other, bowed their waists and nodded to show respect. The first person to speak was trembling and pale: "I am Jia Qiang, the eldest son of Master Jia."
"I am..." Then several people behind him followed suit. When they saw Shen Yan and Lu Wan walking with the county magistrate, they knew that they couldn't offend these two people, especially since the county magistrate was so nice to them.
After asking, Shen Yan and Lu Wan discussed for a while and finally locked on three of them. One was Jia Qiang, the eldest son of the Jia family, another was his younger brother Jia Zhuang, and the last one was Mr. Jia's personal bodyguard. After locking onto these people, Lu Wan relaxed a little and sighed softly. I never thought that one day she would be investigating a case. It's really an unexpected disaster!
The county magistrate glanced at the three men, waved his hand, and said to the guards beside him: "Take them all away!" Since they are key suspects, they must be locked up. The guard received the order and put them in jail despite their resistance.
"Lu Wan, I'll go interrogate them, you..." Before Shen Yan finished speaking, Lu Wan quickly replied, "I'll go find out what kind of grudges they have with Master Jia." He looked at her with appreciation, a faint smile on his face, "Then let's split up."
So Shen Yan followed Master Jia to the prison cell, while Lu Wan went alone to ask the other servants of the Jia Mansion. They all live in the Jia family and should be relatively familiar with these things.
After Lu Wan and Shen Yan understood each other's situation, they couldn't wait to run back and discuss with each other. Lu Wan had a general idea of everyone and was familiar with the relationships in the Jia family. Master Jia liked the younger ones and was not nice to the older ones. On the way back, Lu Wan began to suspect that it was Jia Qiang who attacked Master Jia because of his favoritism. However, when Lu Wan visited the neighbors around Mr. Jia's house, they had more positive comments about Jia Qiang. For a moment she didn't know how to decide.
Shen Yan's discovery was also great. After he shamelessly inquired about the grandmothers, sisters and aunts in every household, he finally knew that there seemed to be a team of organized and disciplined people who fooled Master Jia. Shen Yan sighed and felt unfair for Master Jia. Mr. Jia can be said to be very pitiful. He died in an unclear manner. Not only did he not close his eyes before he died, but his death was also very miserable. After Lu Wan and Shen Yan met, they sat face to face on both sides of the table, as if they were ready to negotiate.
