Chapter 208 Murder
Nameless village!
A quiet and long night passed. From hiding in the forest to finally finding a place where they could sleep soundly, the villagers of Aozigou woke up when the sun rose.
There was a satisfied and happy smile on every face.
Although they lost Yangliu Town, they thought that General Minyuan was guarding the town. As long as there were no desert soldiers chasing and killing people, it would be the happiest and most stable thing for them.
"Ah, murder, murder!"
Suddenly, a terrified scream broke the silence.
It was as if a sharp wind blew in the morning light, and all the beauty was wiped out in an instant.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Even Mrs. Lu quickly told Qiuju, "Go and have a look."
Ding Xiaodie told her mother and hurriedly ran towards the direction where the sound came from.
Soon, a large number of villagers gathered at the door of the hut. Some women went in to take a look unwillingly, and immediately ran out crying for their parents.
"Oh, what a tragic death!"
"That's right, I didn't expect something like this to happen."
"Wasn't someone watching last night?"
Ding Xiaodie finally arrived and grabbed Dabao, who was retching. "Brother Dabao, what's wrong?"
"That girl from the Lu family, Amei, was... killed."
"What?"
Dabao quickly reached out.
This girl is really bold and wants to get involved in everything. Even when she hears something like this, she wants to go and take a look. He hurriedly tried to grab Ding Xiaodie, but ended up pulling nothing.
Ding Xiaodie squeezed into the crowd and then squeezed out of the crowd.
She stood at the doorway and had the clearest view of what was happening inside the house.
Amei is dead!
She was hung on the window frame with a heavy old rope around her neck. One of her shoes fell off during her death struggle.
Her hair was disheveled, and the pressure of the rope around her neck made her eyes stare and her tongue stick out.
Because it was killed a long time ago, its tongue has now turned black and gray.
Not only the women, but even the men in the village broke out in a cold sweat when they saw this.
Ding Xiaodie disagreed. She had personally investigated many homicide cases in her previous life and had seen all kinds of situations. The most important thing at the moment was of course to protect the scene. Although someone had already gone in, they would definitely find something near Amei.
Out of professional instinct, Ding Xiaodie immediately walked into the house.
"Xiaodie."
Suddenly a hand grabbed her wrist.
Turning back, I saw Lu Xingluo's pale and handsome face: "What are you doing?"
Well!
Yeah, she had forgotten about it.
I am just a twelve-year-old girl now!
Ding Xiaodie instinctively glanced at the villagers and saw that they were all dumbfounded. She was so calm and composed when she saw Amei's body just now, and even made a gesture to walk inside.
Oh my god, this must be a trap!
The villagers were all shocked.
Ding Xiaodie frowned: "Uh, I... I felt a little dizzy just now."
"Then go home and have a good rest." Lu Xingluo was so scared that he quickly pulled her far away, fearing that she would encounter bad luck.
The other villagers began to whisper.
"Xiaodie was acting strangely just now, could it be..."
"Don't say it, I'm afraid."
"Mom, let's get on the road quickly. This nameless village is unlucky."
Lu Xingluo was also very scared. What little girl wouldn't be scared after seeing such a scene? She was probably terrified.
"Xiaodie, how do you feel now? Are you still dizzy?"
Lu Xingluo's handsome face was knitted with brows.
Ding Xiaodie coughed lightly: "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
"That's good, go back quickly, I'll take care of this."
"But Second Young Master, wasn't someone watching A-Mei last night?"
"Yes, our security guard was watching, but he fell asleep!"
"Which guard is it?"
Just when Lu Xingluo was about to speak, Mrs. Lu came from afar. She was supported by Qiuju. She seemed to know what had happened and her face was full of grief.
This is also human nature.
After all, Ah Mei was raised by her. She was a good person on weekdays, but she didn't expect that she would end up like this because of stealing jewelry.
Qiuju was so frightened after taking a look that she almost fainted.
When he went back to report to Mrs. Lu, his legs were shaking so much that he could not stand steadily.
When Mrs. Lu heard about it, she insisted on coming to see it. Qiuju had no choice but to accompany her.
When they saw Mrs. Lu at this time, Ding Xiaodie and Lu Xingluo were both surprised.
Although they didn't say anything, they thought the same thing: Ah Mei must not be seen in that state by Mrs. Lu.
A little flower in a greenhouse like Mrs. Lu would definitely be scared to death if she saw the tragic death of A-Mei, whom she had watched grow up.
"Mrs. Lu." Ding Xiaodie walked over quickly and said, "Mrs. Lu, what are you doing?"
"Xiaodie, I'm going to see Amei." Mrs. Lu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Lu Xingluo said anxiously: "Mother, now is not the time to go see Amei..."
"Why not? Although Ah Mei made a mistake, her crime doesn't deserve the death penalty. I want to go and see who is so bold as to kill her."
“…”
Uh, what's that??!
As if she could find the murderer if she went to take a look.
Ding Xiaodie knew that Mrs. Lu was usually a very rational woman, but now she was suffering from the hardships of fleeing famine and was worried about Mr. Lu. On the other hand, she did have feelings for Amei that went beyond master and servant.
That's why he is so out of control now.
But even so, she couldn't be allowed to see Amei like that.
The mother Lu Xingluo usually saw at home was completely different from the one now. His mother would never question him in such a tone. For a moment, he was so anxious that his face turned red, and he didn't know what to do.
"Mrs. Lu, the Second Young Master said there were many suspicious circumstances surrounding Ah Mei's death. It was clearly murder. The cabin has been sealed off, and no one is allowed to approach or go in to look. Only in this way can we find the murderer and seek justice for Ah Mei."
Ding Xiaodie had no choice but to speak up to help Lu Xingluo out.
"Now that something like this has happened in the village, most people are in a state of panic. Some are curious and want to see what's happening, but they have no choice but to obey the Second Young Master's orders. If you go to see Ah Mei now, you'll set a bad example. If the villagers rebel and everyone goes in together to see what's happening, the scene will be ruined. It will then be even harder to find the murderer, and how can you seek justice for Ah Mei?"
Listening to Ding Xiaodie's slow and orderly words, Mrs. Lu became a little more sober.
"Xingluo, is this what's going on?"
Lu Xingluo was still a little surprised. She had never thought that the little girl knew so much. When she heard her mother's question, she quickly said, "Yes, mother. No one can get close to the hut now. The villagers are right outside the hut, clamoring to go in and take a look. I just calmed them down."
"In that case."
Mrs. Lu's voice choked: "It's more important to find the murderer for Amei. I will listen to you."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
