Lu Wan said, "No, he will definitely come, because this thing is extremely important to him. He won't give it up so easily. He will definitely come at great risk. Should we make a bet?"

Chen Yan said, "You are smart, so I won't bet with you. Nothing is difficult for you. Just tell me how to get Jia Qiang arrested by the county magistrate first."
Lu Wan said confidently: "Just tell the county magistrate about our plan. You don't have to worry. The county magistrate will definitely cooperate with us. He is already very anxious and will not miss the opportunity to solve the case. Let's go and talk to the county magistrate. There will always be a lot of gains and help."
Chen Yan immediately stood up and walked in front to lead the way for Lu Wan, saying as he walked, "Okay, you understand people's hearts very well." Lu Wan had been wondering why Master Jia died? Unconsciously, the two of them arrived at the county magistrate's study in the county government office. When they reached the door, a yamen runner said, "Mr. Shen, Miss Lu, why are you here so late? My master is having a headache over Mr. Jia's case."
Chen Yan said, "Then we are here just in time. Go tell the county magistrate that we have a clue and we can solve the case soon." The yamen runner smiled and said, "Really? I'll go report it to you now. Please wait." After the yamen runner finished speaking, he trotted into the study and shouted, "Sir, we have a clue. We have a clue. Mr. Shen and Miss Lu have brought good news."
When the county magistrate in the study heard this, he said hurriedly: "Come on, please come in, Xiaodong, why don't you bring the people in first? It's such an urgent matter and you still have people waiting outside." When the bailiff heard this, he apologized hastily: "Please forgive me, sir. I was in a hurry to make you happy, and forgot to bring the two guests in at nine o'clock. I will go right away." The county magistrate was not angry with this bailiff. After all, he had been by his side for many years and was very reliable.
Chen Yan and Lu Wan walked in slowly, and the county magistrate asked anxiously, "Have you two found any important clues?" Chen Yan smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious, sir? Of course, we have found important clues to this case. The next thing requires your cooperation."
The county magistrate asked, "What do you need my cooperation for?" Lu Wan said, "Just arrest Jia Qiang and go find someone else." The county magistrate was puzzled as to why Jia Qiang was arrested for no reason when it was ok to find someone. So he asked in confusion, "Why do you want to arrest Jia Qiang? You can't arrest people for no reason."
Lu Wan said, "Of course they didn't arrest him without reason. They could have just found a reason. Besides, if they had arrested Jia Qiang, the murderer would have shown up." The county magistrate asked again, "Why would the murderer show up?" Lu Wan explained, "There are things that Jia Qiang left in his room."
The county magistrate said, "I understand. Let's send someone to arrest Jia Qiang and bring him to the government office. Who do I need to find?" Shen Yan said, "A person who is very popular with Jia Zhuang, but was recently driven out of the Jia Mansion. Now he is living on the streets in a miserable state, hiding his identity and being a coward."
The county magistrate said, "I will have someone search for him secretly and will not let the news leak out. But why are you looking for such a person?" Shen Yan said, "Because he knows too much and someone wants to silence him. Then the two of us will take our leave first and wait for your good news at the Jia Mansion."

The county magistrate asked, "Why are you going to the Jia Mansion?" Lu Wan said, "Jia Qiang has been arrested, and the murderer must be going back to look for something he left behind. That is something very important." The county magistrate asked, "What is it?" Shen Yan said, "I'm afraid it is the thing the murderer is most afraid of being exposed." The county magistrate was shocked.
Shen Yan and Lu Wan sneaked into the Jia Mansion and lay in wait in Jia Qiang's room.
As expected, just after Jia Qiang was arrested, someone secretly came to Jia Qiang's room at night to look for something. At this time, two people appeared behind him. Shen Yan took out a blue account book and said, "Are you looking for this?" The man was startled and turned around quickly, keeping alert.
Lu Wan looked at the man with a look that seemed to have known everything and said, "It is you, Jia Zhuang." Yes, the man was Jia Zhuang, but Jia Zhuang was still trying to play dumb: "I don't know why Mr. Shen and Miss Lu are here, what are you holding in your hands, and why am I looking for it?"
Lu Wan asked back, "Mr. Jia, why are you in your brother Jia Qiang's bedroom?" Jia Zhuang said, "I was afraid that the prison was too cold and damp, so I prepared to pack some clothes and quilts to send to him."
Lu Wan said, "Then why don't you come earlier? Why do you come at night?" Jia Zhuang explained, "Because Jia Qiang was arrested, the mansion is in chaos, and I have a lot of things to deal with. In addition, today is the time to count the accounts, and there are also reports from the store owners, so I came so late."
Seeing that he was not going to plead guilty, Shen Yan said, "You accidentally discovered that Jia Qiang was investigating you and found out that you had falsified the accounts. If Master Jia knew about this, he would definitely expel you from the house. You were afraid that Jia Qiang would tell on you, so you wanted to take the initiative and kill him before he told on you. So you sneaked into Jia Qiang's study, but you never expected that Jia Qiang was not there, and the person inside was Master Jia. You killed Master Jia, thinking he was Jia Qiang, and then you found out that it was not Jia Qiang, so you ran away in a hurry, but you did not find the account book. You can only find a chance to get it next time. You never thought that you would never have any chance to come to Jia Qiang's room again. Jia Qiang was arrested today, and there is no one from the government to monitor the mansion. I guess you will definitely come."
