Chapter 392 Warning
Aunt Dazhuang started talking to Wan Qiqi again.
Finally, Chen Lizheng couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Aunt Dazhuang, telling her to take the child to Sun Yin for a checkup to prevent internal injuries.
Aunt Dazhuang then stopped nagging and left with the child.
Subsequently, Chen Lizheng dispersed the villagers who were surrounding the area.
At Wan Qiqi's signal, Chen Yongxing led his men back to the construction site to get to work.
Although there are daily workload requirements for everyone, today Wan Qiqi asked them to help find people, so the time and work wasted can't be attributed to the villagers themselves.
Therefore, Chen Yongxing urged everyone to continue working.
After a short while, only Wan Qiqi and Chen Lizheng remained.
Wan Qiqi squatted down and dug out something that was sticking out of the pile of dirt.
Once fully revealed, it becomes clear that it is a small toy – a bamboo dragonfly.
She stood up, holding the bamboo dragonfly, and rubbed the small stick, letting it spin in her hand. She smiled and said to Chen Lizheng, "Do the kids in our village play with this too?"
Chen Lizheng looked closely and nodded, saying, "Yang Mu knows how to make these little things for children to play with."
He looked at it more closely, frowned slightly, and continued, "However, this doesn't seem to be from Yang Mu's hand. This one is more exquisite, and it looks very similar to one in Yunhe County."
Wan Qiqi handed the bamboo dragonfly to Chen Lizheng for a closer look.
After a moment, Chen, the village head, said, "Yes, this is the craftsmanship of that family in Yunhe County." He pointed to a spot and said, "That person likes to leave his mark when making these little things, look here..."
Wan Qiqi looked carefully in the direction he pointed and indeed there was a small mark.
Her thoughts suddenly shifted, and she couldn't help but feel strange.
Even if Aunt Dazhuang doted on her son, she wouldn't go to the trouble of going all the way to Yunhe County to buy a bamboo dragonfly.
She had a vague feeling that something was off.
Chen Lizheng didn't find anything strange about the things, but he sensed that Wan Qiqi had other doubts, so he asked, "What did you find wrong?"
Wan Qiqi shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I was just wondering why Aunt Dazhuang didn't want her child! Uncle Chen, why don't you take him to her? Aunt Dazhuang doesn't like me, so she probably doesn't want to see me."
"Okay." Chen Lizheng said, showing no intention of leaving.
Wan Qiqi sensed that Chen Lizheng had something to say but hesitated, so she tilted her head and asked, "Uncle Chen, what's wrong? Tell me, and I'll analyze it for you."
Chen Li stared at Wan Qiqi for a long time, his lips moved, and finally he let out a sigh.
"Is things not going as expected with the Chen family?" Wan Qiqi thought back on the past few days and realized that the only thing that was bothering her was the Chen family's situation.
However, after she brought up the matter, Chen Lizheng quickly replied, "The Chen family's case is still under investigation."
"After being sent to Yunhe County and receiving treatment, Chen Ergou was out of danger. When he woke up, he accused Yunniang of murdering her husband and asked the officials to torture Yunniang severely."
"Yunniang confessed to stabbing Chen Ergou, but their son said that Chen Ergou attacked first, and Yunniang retaliated, which led to this result..."
It is evident that Yunniang and Chen Ergou's testimonies were consistent, but Chen Zhu gave a different result.
In fact, a child's words cannot be taken as a testimony. Many times, people will think that the child is lying, and they will be mistaken in their panic.
However, the fact that the child's testimony was included in this trial indicates that the investigators were being cautious about the matter.
The person Wan Qiqi could think of to preside over this case was Xie Xing!
He is meticulous in his work and doesn't lack for bribes; on the contrary, he will investigate things thoroughly.
As for Fang Ziming, Wan Qiqi cannot guarantee that he was completely innocent during his many years in office.
After all, officials who are honest and upright are often targeted.
After hearing Chen Lizheng's words, Wan Qiqi didn't feel anything particularly strong. She just thought that Chen Ergou was really lucky to survive.
She then realized that Chen Lizheng's sigh didn't seem to be about this matter, and asked, "Uncle Chen, is there something else troubling you?"
Chen Lizheng sighed again and said, "It's not that I have a headache, it's that you should have a headache."
"Hmm?" This question piqued Wan Qiqi's interest.
Could it be that she got caught up in the gossip herself?
Then Chen Lizheng said in a deep voice, "I heard at the county government office that a group of prisoners have been released."
"Uncle Chen, just say it, there's no need to beat around the bush." Wan Qiqi had a gut feeling that the group of people Chen Lizheng said he released were probably not from this village.
Suddenly, a figure flashed through her mind.
"Tang Qiwen?"
"Tang Qiwen..." Chen Lizheng had just uttered the name when he heard Wan Qiqi say the same name, and he was stunned for a long time.
"Yes, that's him. I heard he's been out for two days!" Chen Lizheng knew about the feud between Wan Qiqi and Tang Qiwen.
Once Tang Qiwen comes out, the first person he'll probably want to take revenge on is Wan Qiqi!
A flicker of surprise flashed in Wan Qiqi's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
The Tang family holds a significant position in Yunhe County, so it was only a matter of time before Tang Qiwen emerged.
Because Fang Ziming was the county magistrate, he could not abuse his power for personal gain, so the man was detained and not released for a long time.
But why is he suddenly appearing now?
Was it the Tang family who pulled strings, or was someone deliberately letting him out for some purpose?
Wan Qiqi was startled when she stared at the bamboo dragonfly in Chen Lizheng's hand.
child!
Tang Qiwen is warning her!
This time it was a child from the village who went missing, but next time it might be Pingping and An'an.
Seeing her somber expression, Chen Lizheng comforted her, "Although the Tang family has considerable influence in Hefeng Town, you have a good relationship with the Tao family and are close friends with Miss Fang. If he causes trouble, you can seek their help..."
Wan Qiqi knows.
But seeking help can only provide temporary protection, not lifelong protection.
If Tang Qiwen wanted to take revenge on her, he would have many ways to do so, making it impossible to guard against.
