Chapter 238 Finding the Murderer (2/2)



The moment the village chief finished speaking, Li Nian ran quickly towards the Li family.

After a cup of tea, Li Nian ran to the door of Li Mengyue's house.

Because he ran too fast, he stood at the open door, bent over and gasping for breath.

The village head's wife, Qia Tu, who was working, turned around and saw Li Nian. She asked, "Li Nian, what's going on?"

"Auntie Li, is Li Mengyue here? There's an accident by the river."

"What? What happened? Who is in trouble?"

When the village chief's wife heard that something had happened, she was extremely nervous and asked who it was.

"No...it's not a person, it's a waterwheel and a bamboo pipe."

"Oh, that scared me."

The village head's wife then realized what was happening and subconsciously asked loudly, "What? What did you say about the waterwheel and the bamboo pipe?"

It's no wonder she was so surprised. The waterwheel and bamboo pipes were really important to the village.

She couldn't bear it when she heard someone was sabotaging something.

"Li Nian, who, who broke it?"

The conversation between the village head's wife and Li Nian was also heard by other women who were working.

They all had the same reaction as the village head's wife: they were extremely angry and wanted to know who was so mean as to do such an infuriating thing.

"Auntie, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't know. I just came here to ask Li Mengyue to see if she can find the person who did the bad thing."

When the village head's wife and the women working there heard this, they also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Li Mengyue was in the room, playing with the tiger cub. She knew it the moment Li Nian came home.

Since I didn't know Li Nian's purpose, I didn't go out. Now that I heard that the water wheel and bamboo pipe were destroyed, how could I sit still?

"Little tiger, I have something to go out for. You stay in your room and I'll get you something to eat when I come back."

Li Mengyue didn't know whether the little tiger cub understood or not, but the little tiger cub who was pulling her trouser leg opened his mouth when he heard this.

Seeing the little tiger cub staring at her, Li Mengyue's heart was melted again. She couldn't help but touch the cute and well-behaved little tiger cub, opened the door and went out.

Li Nian saw Li Mengyue and opened his mouth to speak.

But Li Mengyue didn't wait for him to speak, and said directly: "I heard it, let's go quickly!"

Li Nian watched Li Mengyue walk past him before he realized what was happening and replied, "Oh, Tuo!"

Li Mengyue went to the river. Although she didn't run like Li Nian, her pace was not slow at all. It only took her a cup of tea.

When Li Nian went back, he did not run, because he could not catch up with Li Mengyue.

"Li Mengyue is here!"

“Swish!”

The crowd standing by the river immediately stepped back to both sides, making way for Li Mengyue to reach the river unhindered.

The village chief, who was in deep thought, saw Li Mengyue coming and waved to her.

"Girl Yue, see if you can find any clues."

"Damn it."

Li Mengyue looked at the damage to the waterwheel and bamboo pipe. The waterwheel was chopped off with an axe, and most of its parts were damaged and needed major repairs.

The bamboo tube was just dropped on the ground and the joint was damaged. It can be used normally as long as a new bamboo tube is replaced.

Moreover, the bamboo tube was not damaged much. It seemed that the bad guys did not dare to go up the mountain and only damaged the part near the river.

Li Mengyue didn't find anything from the destroyed waterwheel and bamboo pipe.

However, after she had walked a few steps, she saw a footprint in an inconspicuous place not far from the waterwheel.
