Chapter 1461 A Ning Doesn't Understand
Shu Yu thought for a moment and asked A Ning, "When Young Master Tan came down from the mountain, did he ask Jiang Kuanyu what was up there and why there were guards there?"
“Yes, Jiang Kuanyu told Young Master Tan that it was a black market, and Young Master Tan understood.” A Ning looked puzzled. “But I don’t quite understand, Second Sister, what is a black market? What does it do? Is it very dark and suspicious?”
Shu Yu, "..."
Well, the little girl is too young; even if she hears something, she probably won't understand what it means.
She considered her words carefully and tried to use milder language, saying, "The black market is a clandestine transaction. Some stolen goods are bought and sold on the black market. Strictly speaking, that's illegal."
Ah Ning's eyes widened suddenly. "Illegal? No wonder Jiang Kuanyu was so nervous and wouldn't let Young Master Tan go up."
She looked as if she had just realized something, but then became anxious again, "Oh no, Second Sister, the black market is so close to the manor and the sunflower farm. What if something happens, or what if the prisoners in the black market try to cause trouble?"
Shu Yu almost choked. There were criminals in the black market?!
She quickly told the worried girl, "Don't worry, that black market closed down and was sold off last year. There's no one there now, let alone any prisoners."
A Ning asked in surprise, "Is it closed?"
"Well, it's probably too late to keep it running." Shu Yu said ambiguously, then turned to A Ning with a serious expression and said, "Although the black market here is closed, there are still other places. If you hear about or see any of them in the future, you must stay far away from them immediately, understand?"
Ah Ning nodded emphatically, "Of course, what if there's a murderer inside?"
Shu Yu, "..."
Ah Ning didn't see the complicated look in her eyes. Now that she knew what the black market was all about, her attention returned to the scroll on the table.
With her hands supporting her chin, she pondered seriously for a moment, then straightened her small body and said confidently, "Second sister, then in that case, the murderer must be Jiang Kuanyu, right? The black market is illegal, and Jiang Kuanyu knows the address there so well, so he might be someone from the black market."
She nodded heavily, looking at Shu Yu expectantly.
Shu Yu's lips twitched. There were quite a few people who knew the address of the black market. Generally, people in Dong'an Prefecture or its subordinate counties with connections, backgrounds, and money were probably aware of it without saying a word.
Jiang Kuanyu has a large and powerful family in the prefectural city, and his estate is only four kilometers away from the black market. It would be strange if he didn't know about it.
It's probably only because someone like Young Master Tan, who is only interested in studying the classics, doesn't understand these things well, that he almost stumbled into the mountain by accident.
But Master Tan must have known, so when Young Master Tan asked Jiang Kuanyu what kind of place that was, Jiang Kuanyu didn't hide it from him.
However, A Ning's suspicions were not wrong. Among the three paintings in front of her, Jiang Kuanyu was the most suspicious.
She lowered her head, met Ah Ning's expectant gaze, and smiled, "Yes, you're right."
Ah Ning became even more excited after receiving affirmation. "This is something I figured out myself. My brain works really fast now."
Then she became indignant again, "How could Jiang Kuanyu be so evil? Wasn't he good friends with Young Master Tan? He actually poisoned him. I used to think he was a good person because he helped Xiaoya'er's grandfather with his funeral arrangements."
