Chapter 211 Amei's Secret
There are various reasons why murderers return to the scene. Some do it out of a perverted desire to see their own results, some do it out of worry to see if they have been discovered, and some do it out of regret and wish that moment had not happened.
What appears at this time is most likely regret.
He killed Amei, but blamed himself. This kind of person does not really regret it. He just wants to cry and find an excuse to feel at ease.
Time was of the essence, so Ding Xiaodie quickly lay down behind the crack of the door and looked out.
But it was late at night, and the man was standing to one side. From her position, she couldn't see what he looked like. She could only see part of his body, but couldn't even see the color of his clothes.
There was no other way, Ding Xiaodie planned to go out through the window, so that she could catch the murderer by taking a detour. In any case, she couldn't let him escape.
The window was already broken, and when she pushed it gently, it creaked.
“…”
Not to mention that this sound was scary even in the middle of the night.
The other person's crying suddenly stopped. He was already feeling guilty, so after a pause, he turned around and ran away in fear.
Okay, let’s chase it!
Ding Xiaodie jumped out of the window and chased after the black shadow. It ran towards the center of the village. As an adult man, he ran very fast.
Although Ding Xiaodie wanted to catch up with him, she was only a child. Not to mention running fast, she couldn't run after a hundred meters. The other party disappeared as soon as he turned a corner.
Ding Xiaodie stopped panting and looked around...
The village was very quiet. There was no light in every house. I didn't know whether people slept well, but they didn't dare to come out to see when they heard the footsteps.
If Ding Xiaodie had yelled a few times at this time, perhaps all the villagers would have come out to help, but she didn't even know what the murderer looked like, and it would only take a few minutes for him to deny it.
And it will alert the enemy.
Now Ding Xiaodie had no choice but to calm down and go home first.
…
"What?"
Zhang Xiu, who had been waiting for her daughter to return home, was so frightened after hearing Xiaodie's words that she broke out in a cold sweat: "Did you see the murderer?"
"It's a pity I didn't see clearly, so he ran away. I couldn't catch up with him even when I tried to chase him."
"Oh, kid, how could you chase an adult? So... do you have any idea now?"
Ding Xiaodie glanced back at the snoring old woman and whispered, "Now I'm sure that the imprisoned Lu family guard is not the murderer. Besides...this matter is actually not that complicated. Ah Mei's death may be related to her pregnancy."
"Ah, Mei is pregnant?"
Zhang Xiu was extremely surprised. Although Ah Mei looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, which was indeed the marriageable age in ancient times, she was pregnant before marriage. Such a bold behavior would be punished by being thrown into a pig cage in ancient times.
No, if the truth is revealed, it will not only be A-Mei who will be thrown into the pig cage, but that man will be thrown into the pig cage with her.
Zhang Xiu calmed down and said, "This is murder to silence the witness. This shows that Ah Mei's theft of jewelry may also be related to this matter."
Ding Xiaodie said, "Amei was at least three months pregnant. Seeing that she couldn't hide the truth, she stole Mrs. Lu's jewelry. However, she was discovered by the Lu family. In desperation, the man, who was afraid of being exposed, killed her to silence her. This is probably the man's motive for committing the crime."
This made Zhang Xiu even more surprised. Three months, that is to say... Amei was pregnant before the people from Aozigou arrived in Yangliu Town.
She sighed, "This girl is so naive. Without a proper matchmaker, how could she trust a man so easily? If you ask me, all men are bad."
“…”
As the conversation progressed, the topic started to develop between men and women. Zhang Xiu felt deeply touched because she also had a daughter. When she was young, she was afraid that she would go astray. When she grew up, she was asked to find a boyfriend, but she refused no matter what.
Now, back in ancient times, Zhang Xiu still holds great hopes for her daughter's marriage. She hopes that her daughter will marry well so that she can live a peaceful life and have a sense of belonging in this era.
Ding Xiaodie coughed lightly, bringing her mother back to her senses. "Right now, we have to go and warn the Second Young Master that the man they're holding isn't the murderer, but he can't be released just yet. We have to paralyze the real murderer. Also, he has to investigate who Ah Mei hangs out with, and since there are scratches on that person's body, that person... is the murderer. Mother, you have to do this."
"I?"
Zhang Xiu opened her mouth. How could she handle any case?
But he held back the words when they came to his lips. Could he really ask his daughter to go?
If she, a twelve-year-old girl from the mountain village, could really say such words to the Second Young Master and the others, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Ding Xiaodie comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I will teach you."
Just as the mother and daughter were talking about this, there was a sound of a door opening in the wing room in the yard, and soon, someone was heard muttering something.
What's going on?
The mother and daughter both went to the window and looked out. They saw Sun kneeling in the middle of the yard, praying and muttering something: "Please God, keep our family safe and sound, and don't let anything happen to us again. If Ding Xiaodie wants to be cursed, let her be alone. If there is any bad luck in the future, it will have nothing to do with our family. Please open your eyes, God!"
It turned out that Sun had a grudge against Ding Xiaodie after a quarrel, so she came out to pray to God late at night, fearing that Ding Xiaodie's bad luck would spread to her family.
After Zhang Xiu heard what she said clearly, she was so angry that she turned around and wanted to go out to argue with her.
"Mom, don't go. It's not worth it. She has the mouth. Let her say whatever she wants!"
Ding Xiaodie grabbed her mother and said that there was no need to bother with that kind of person. Her narrow-minded thinking could never be changed in her lifetime.
"But how can a person curse others for bad luck?"
Moreover, the person being cursed was her own precious daughter. Which mother wouldn't be angry? Zhang Xiu wanted to go out and slap Sun a few times, but her daughter's pleading expression softened her heart.
"Alright, I'll let her go today. If it happens again, I'll tear her mouth apart."
The next morning, Zhang Xiu went to Lu's house.
One is to find an opportunity to talk to Lu Xingluo, and the other is to see Mrs. Lu.
When Zhang Xiu heard Ding Xiaodie say that Mrs. Lu insisted on going to see Amei yesterday, she felt sorry for her. As a woman, she understood Mrs. Lu's feelings for Amei too well!
It is clear that this is a child that she raised. Although she is not her biological child, she has instilled a lot of maternal love in her.
Suddenly he betrayed her and suddenly he was killed.
Neither of these two things is without discouraging people.
