Chapter 217： Huggy back

Chapter 217 The Back of the Hugged Back

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help shedding tears again.

Chu Nanzhi couldn't bear to look at it, but she couldn't just watch the thugs behind the scenes get away with it, so she comforted her first: "Dead people can't be resurrected, please forgive me."

Zhang Dahu coughed softly while beckoning: "Miss Chu wants to know something, just ask."

Chu Nanzhi thought about it for a while, and asked Xu Xufa, "When did Qi Dongqiang leave your mansion that night?"

Zhang Dahu looked at her blankly.

I was so angry that I was kicked by the Qi family boy that day, but I forgot the details.

A little maid next to her saw this and immediately replied: "My servant remembers that it was about three quarters past five o'clock when the Qi family left."

"The next three quarters of the Hai hour?"

Chu Nanzhi rubbed her chin and frowned: That should be around ten forty-five in the evening in her own world.

While hesitating, Hu Maoxi suddenly exclaimed: "That's not right. When I checked the file and Sun Wuji's statement today, I saw that Zhu Xiancheng left the Sun's house at the beginning of Zishi, and it was about half a journey from Sun's Village to here. an hour."

"Well, it's really wrong. There was a difference of nearly an hour before and after."

Chu Nanzhi nodded and said.

Zhang Dahu hurriedly asked the maid: "Myolie, do you remember correctly?"

Xing'er shook her head resolutely: "My maidservant remembers very clearly, my maidservant and Lao Huang chased all the way to the door of the brothel, watching them go in helplessly, my maidservant wanted to report to the police but was pulled back by Lao Huang."

Zhang Dahu coughed and nodded, and pointed to the old man standing beside him: "This is the janitor of the mansion, everyone calls him Lao Huang, Xing'er is the little girl's former personal maid, seeing the little girl being bullied that night The little girl couldn't get enough of her anger, so she and Lao Huang kept chasing her out to vent her anger."

The words are already full of tears.

Old Huang stared at Xing'er, and said angrily: "You girl just doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, if it wasn't for the old man to stop you, you might have been tricked into going to a brothel by those dogs, and you still want to report to the officials, Yamen Who doesn’t know the habits of that group of people.”

Hearing this, Peng Pai habitually stroked the few beards protruding from the front of his chin: "You don't have to be so pessimistic, Haikang County still has clean water."

Old Huang remained silent and did not speak again.

Chu Nanzhi slanted over from the corner of her eye, and couldn't help snickering at Peng Pai's smug look, this guy does have a bit of character.

In the past few days, among the scholars I have met, except Han Shaochuan, that gentle scum, in fact, all of them have their own unique arrogance.

It is no wonder that many families are scrambling to marry their daughters to poor scholars.

Collecting her mind, she looked back at the maid who was speaking, and asked carefully: "Xing'er, do you know Zhu Xiancheng from the county government?"

"Naturally know."

Xing'er replied confidently: "Master Zhu is very approachable, servants often see him in the county, even if they are turned into ashes, they will know him."

"Then did you bump into Zhu Xiancheng on the road that night?"

Chu Nanzhi looked at her excitedly.

The little girl and Lao Huang went to chase Qi Dongqiang. According to the time calculation, there should be an intersection with Zhu Xiancheng on the way back.

Xing'er frowned and recalled it in her mind, but finally shook her head resentfully.

Just when everyone was about to sigh, Xing'er suddenly widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Although I didn't meet Zhu Xiancheng, but on the way back we bumped into a very suspicious gentleman. It's health, could it be related to Zhu Xiancheng's death?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lao Huang scolded angrily: "You stinky girl, you are talking nonsense again. There is no suspicious gentleman."

"That man was running so fast that day. The servants let you see. When you slowly recovered, he had disappeared long ago."

Xing'er pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Lao Huang with some dissatisfaction, then looked firmly at Chu Nanzhi, and said firmly: "Miss Chu, this servant did not lie to you, what this servant said is true, this servant really saw a A very strong figure, who seemed to be running away from the woods with a short knife in his hand."

"Well, I trust you."

Chu Nanzhi nodded.

This description is exactly the same as the person who murdered Qi Dongqiang she thought of in the County Wei Mansion.

In an instant, there seemed to be a lot of thoughts in her mind.

She looked at the little maid excitedly again: "Myolie, can you see that person's appearance clearly?"

Myolie shook her head in disappointment again.

"Then do you still remember the place where you saw the back disappear?"

Myolie nodded immediately.

"Then take us to have a look."

"it is good."

Farewell to Zhang Dahu and his wife, Lao Huang and Xing'er led Chu Nanzhi and the guards to the place where the incident happened.

The place where Xing'er saw the figure disappear was on a country road two miles away from Zhang's house. If she continued to walk two miles away, she should have entered the city.

Several people went into the woods along the direction she pointed and searched all the way, and within a few steps it was the canal that flowed to Sun's house.

Hu Maoxi looked at the rushing water, narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously: "This place is very close to the city, if someone deliberately murders Zhu Yue, there will be disputes and fights, and then people will notice."

"Perhaps this is not the scene of the crime, but the escape route of the murderer."

Chu Nanzhi replied thoughtfully.

"Mrs. Chu and Peng Dianshi will go to the sealed salt well tomorrow to investigate. I will send people to search downstream along this river to see if they can find any clues."

Hu Maoxi squeezed his chin lightly: "If it is a deliberate murder and such a vicious modus operandi, maybe we can find some clues near the canal."

"Okay, then there will be Mr. Laohu."

Chu Nanzhi didn't think there were any clues to be found along the canal. It has been more than half a month now, and even if there is blood, it may have been cleaned up.

And her thinking is no longer here, let him take someone along the road to check, so that the murderer can be confused so as not to arouse vigilance.

"Let's get here first today."

Chu Nanzhi looked around the crowd, looked at Lao Huang and the little maid with gentle eyes, and said: "Xing'er, remember to decoct the medicine for your Patriarch earlier when the medicine is prepared."

"Alright, Miss Chu, be careful all the way."

Afterwards, Xing'er and Lao Huang turned back towards Zhang's mansion, while Chu Nanzhi and Hu Maoxi headed back towards the county seat.

It was not in vain to come this trip, and finally some things were confirmed, so the hatred for Kang Mingyuan dissipated a lot immediately.

Back to the county government office suddenly enlightened, and as soon as he reached the door, he saw a few familiar figures guarding the main entrance of the government office.

In the crowd, she saw that delicate pretty face at a glance, and there was a cute little man standing under the cold and aloof tall figure. Seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure, the little guy jumped up and greeted him with open arms, making out affectionately. He called out, "Aniang."

Chu Nanzhi bent over and picked up the four treasures in the new clothes, looking at this fair and delicate little face, as if it was carved out of the same mold as Lin Jinxiao, it was really cute.

Chu Nanzhi looked at the little guy with a smile like a flower, and asked warmly: "Baby, is it Uncle or Uncle Laifu who picked out the new clothes for you?"
