Chapter 44: Angry and embarrassed after being rejected?



"Uh... there's no need to know so much. He's a celebrity anyway." Lin Tongxi didn't bother to explain. He yawned and wanted to go home quickly, so he said, "Okay, Brother Chenxuan, since we can't find any evidence, forget it."

"Brother Chenxuan, I still feel that there is something strange here..." Chen Yunxuan grabbed Lin Tongxi, but before he could finish his words, Li Zhongguang beside him discovered new evidence.

"Everyone! Look! There seems to be something hidden here!" Li Zhongguang knocked on a brick and then took it down.

There was only a black piece of clothing inside. Li Zhongguang took it out and showed it to several people.

"This is... Could it be that the rapist hid the black clothes here?" Zhou Tiezhu saw it and immediately made a judgment.

"Then this matter is easy. Let's start with this piece of clothing!" Lin Tongxi took the black clothes and smelled a sweaty smell.

The stench made several people suspect Zhao Yongfeng.

However, after a careful search, they found a piece of letter hidden inside the black clothes.

The content of the letter was simple, expressing love for Widow Li and also included a love poem.

A rough man like Zhao Yongfeng should not be able to write poetry.

According to Zhou Tiezhu, the only person who could write love poems was probably Wang Mingjiao.

What's more, the font is beautiful in scale and the strokes are extraordinary. Anyone who can write such characters must be a cultured person.

"Brother Tiezhu, please tell me in detail about the connection between Wang Mingjiao and the Li family." Lin Tongxi looked at the letter and temporarily locked his suspicion on Wang Mingjiao.

With Zhou Tiezhu's diligent recollection and Li Zhongguang's supplementation, Lin Tongxi roughly understood the connection between the two.

Since her husband's death, Wang Mingjiao would help Li from time to time, such as writing letters to relatives in the town.

The woman would come to Wang Mingjiao's house from time to time to give him some things, or to mend his clothes.

The close relationship between the two caused a lot of gossip in the village.

Some even said that the two of them killed Li's mother-in-law and husband.

Of course, these things were only discussed in private. After all, Wang Mingjiao was a famous scholar in the village who could teach children reading and arithmetic, so no one wanted to offend him for the time being.

In addition, his parents also helped the villagers a lot when they were alive.

As for Wang Mingjiao's character, he indeed has a good reputation in the village. He can be said to have read the books of sages and done the deeds of sages.

Moreover, both parties should be in a state of mutual understanding. Shouldn't Wang Mingjiao take the path of force?

But all the evidence currently points to this most unlikely candidate.

Is there a possibility that Wang Mingjiao wanted to meet with Li secretly?

So Li deliberately mistook him for a thief?

Judging from this love letter, it is not a possibility.

But... this is too far-fetched!

Or maybe Wang Mingjiao appears to be a gentleman, but is actually a scumbag.

After he expressed his feelings, Widow Li rejected him, so he tore off his disguise and attacked Widow Li.

As for this letter...it might be a means that Wang Mingjiao intends to use against Widow Li.

According to Zhou Tiezhu, there are not many educated people in this village, and the two of them happen to be considered educated.

In this way, using love letters to open Li's heart is a reasonable method.

As for Zhao Yongfeng... he was naked, sweating for no apparent reason, and his love proposal was rejected.

He can be considered the second suspect.

Lin Tongxi thought about it and decided to use the black clothes to compare the two people's figures.

The result is that the two are similar, with no difference, making it difficult to distinguish them.

But at the moment, both sides have suspicions, and Lin Tongxi cannot directly determine who the thief is.

"Brother Chenxuan, what do you think?" Lin Tongxi looked at Chen Yunxuan beside him.

Chen Yunxuan responded, "Both of them are highly suspected. We can't determine who the real murderer is in just one night. We need to wait until tomorrow to make a conclusion."

"I think we should lock them up first, send someone to watch over them, and then send someone to protect Li."

This idea was not bad. Lin Tongxi nodded and agreed: "Okay, then we will discuss it with Brother Wenyuan later."

After saying that, the villagers followed him to Li's house.

After finalizing the patrol arrangements, others who had no tasks left.

"Sangui, call me when you leave later!" Zhao Gengnian waved goodbye.

"Okay!" Zhao Sangui said, and then walked towards his house.

However, he didn't know that at this moment there was a pair of eyes in the darkness, staring at him.
