The fire was put out.

The whole house was burned to ashes.

Fortunately, they were rescued in time, and the two families next door survived.But even so, they still suffered a great loss, which made the two families worried and frustrated.

The house was burned, and the contents inside were also burnt clean, and the most obvious thing that caught the eye was the charred corpse.

He couldn't see his original appearance for a long time, let alone recognize the original identity of the corpse.

"Old woman..." Liu Sanquan knelt down and cried loudly at the charred corpse, "You died so badly! Old woman! Why are you so stupid? You think that Jiuzhu girl has no one to take care of, so you don't worry about her, so go to Clean up the house for her. Why did you clean up yourself? Old woman, you silly woman, you are so kind..."

Liu Sanquan cried until he wiped away his snot and tears, his heart-piercing appearance made everyone forget his original appearance.At this moment, everyone was moved.

Liu Jiuzhu frowned.

Will Mrs. Yu be so kind?

But at this time, it's not easy for her to say these things.After all, Yu was indeed burned to death in her house.

What she is more concerned about now is that it is in broad daylight, and there is no open flame, how can it escape?

In addition, this time is not the time when it is easy to catch fire. Even if it is hot recently, it will not be easy to catch fire at this time.

"Sanquan, my condolences, the dead cannot be resurrected." The nearby villagers persuaded.

"That's right, it happened, and no one thought about it. You saw what happened just now, it's not that we just refused to save it, it's really impossible to save it at all!"

Liu Sanquan just cried, crying louder and louder, making people feel more guilty.

"Zhuzi, say something." The person next to him said, "No matter what, Mrs. Yu was killed because of you. You can't ignore your father."

Liu Jiuzhu said: "The most important thing now is to deal with the funeral. In addition, I suspect that the fire was not an accident, so we need to investigate clearly."

"What do you mean?" the village chief asked.

"Uncle Village Chief, think about it, at this hour, at this juncture, how could there be a fire for no reason? I'm not at home, so there can't be an open fire."

"Is that because your mother lit a fire at home?" The person next to her said, "For example, she was cooking something, and because she walked away and didn't pay attention for a while, the fire spread more and more."

Liu Jiuzhu pointed to his house and said, "If that's the case, why didn't she run out?"

The crowd was silent.

yes!Liu Jiuzhu's house was not a deep house, it was only a few dozen steps away, since he found danger, why didn't he escape?Unless she fell asleep, the fire was already huge when she found out.

Liu Jiuzhu squatted down and looked at the charred corpse in front of him: "She was burned to death while awake. Aunt Yang, Uncle Wang, were you at home just now?"

"No!" Uncle Wang replied, "It must be in the field at this time. If it was at home, the fire would not be so big. Look at my yard, more than half of it is burned, almost burning my house .If my house is set on fire, who should I cry to?"

Yang also complained next to her, saying that she was washing clothes by the river with her children, and she was not at home at all, let alone why the fire caught fire.

Liu Jiuzhu said: "She struggled before she died, indicating that she was conscious at that time and even wanted to escape. However, due to various reasons, she did not escape from that room."

The village chief felt that what Liu Jiuzhu said made sense, so he followed Liu Jiuzhu to inspect the wreckage.

"It smells like lime water." The villager next to him said, "I used to work as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop, and I often saw this thing. This thing is very good at igniting fire."

"Village Chief, it's obvious that someone deliberately murdered her here." After Liu Jiuzhu learned that she was not Liu Sanquan's daughter, she was unwilling to call Liu Sanquan's father, let alone a stepmother. up.

"The strange thing is, why did you burn her to death in your house?" the village head said, "Who did such a terrible thing? It's normal for the village to have a little bickering. How can anyone kill someone at every turn? How do you plan to deal with it? Report to the official?"

"With so many people in the village, no one has found any suspicious people?" Liu Jiuzhu said, "Think about it, everyone. Is there anyone who behaved suspiciously today, or anything you think is strange?"

This matter involved a murder case, and the villagers took this matter seriously and tried hard to recall.

"Stone water is not something ordinary people can use." Liu Jiuzhu said, "No one in our village has used stone water until now. This thing has a strong smell, and once it is used, it will definitely leave a smell."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Liu Jiuzhu is usually soft and well-behaved, she speaks softly to everyone, plus she likes to laugh, she has a very good temper, everyone just thinks of her as a gentle little girl.

At this time, her expression was serious, but she looked like a gentleman like her, quite bluffing.

"Zhuzi is right. Since the stone resin water is used, then follow the traces and look for this person. If someone from our village reports to the police immediately, he must be arrested. In the big prison, or if everyone lives with a murderer all day long, I'm afraid that even the neck will be cold?"

Following the clues of Shizhi water, they really let them find the remaining Shizhi water.

The trace left along with the stone resin water is the wheel mark of the carriage.

"Carriage... Has Fang Xiulan been back recently?" someone asked.

Everyone immediately thought of it.

Fang Xiulan's natal family is in the next village, so she doesn't know what kind of psychology she is in, she always walks to their village when she has nothing to do, as if she wants to let the villagers see how pampered she is living now.

Liu Jiuzhu said: "Village Chief, this Fang Xiulan is very suspicious. Judging from the traces of the carriage, she should have returned to the city. She is Zhang Yuanwai's wife, and Zhang Yuanwai is related to the county magistrate. If you report to the official If not, it will be nothing in the end.”

"What do you want?" The village chief said seriously, "You said it too, this Fang Xiulan is very difficult to deal with. She has a full belly now, and just because of this, Zhang Yuanwai will definitely protect her."

Zhang Yuanwai didn't have a son and a half at this age, Fang Xiulan became the mistress of Zhang's mansion by relying on her belly, and she could use her belly to be lawless.

Liu Jiuzhu was silent.

Yes!

What can she do to her?

Did he kill her?

The villagers were aggrieved, but they also knew that Fang Xiulan was beyond their control now.

The village head looked at Liu Jiuzhu sympathetically, and said, "Forget it, girl Zhu, you'd better wait for your husband to come back and deal with it!"

Liu Jiuzhu's man is an official after all, even Zhang Yuanwai and the county magistrate have to take Lu Ze's identity into consideration.The village chief said this because he didn't want Liu Jiuzhu to act impulsively alone. 'Lu Ze' is away, if Zhang Yuanwai does something to her at this time, and then erases the traces, she will suffer in the end.

"Smelly girl, your mother became like this because of you, you can't leave her alone! I'll leave the matter to you. Also, I have nothing now, so you have to take care of me."

Liu Jiuzhu said, "Impossible."

"What?" Liu Sanquan looked at her angrily, "I was hurt so badly by you, and you still don't care about me?"

"I was raised by my grandmother. You didn't raise me, so I don't need to care about your life. In addition, my mother left me a letter and told me the truth. You are not my father at all. Since you are not my father, I have never raised me, so why should I be responsible for your life? As for Mrs. Yu, she saw me scolding me once, and almost sold me several times. She would be so kind and ran into my room to help I clean the room? You can lie to others, but forget about me! I'm afraid you came to my house to steal something. As for what to steal, I won't ask."

"She's gone, she's dead, and I don't want to pour dirty water on her again. But, again, I won't care about your life. Don't try to take advantage of me."

"Village Chief, listen to what she said?" Liu Sanquan patted his legs and cried like a shrew, "Village Chief, you have to make decisions for me! I know she has complaints about me, but Now she doesn't even care about me, my own father! Now my wife is gone, my son is in jail, and I'm just an old man. Village head, I want Liu Jiuzhu to take care of me."

The village chief said impatiently: "At this time, you should think about how to take care of your wife's affairs, and why are you arguing with Jiu'er girl? That's enough, the fire is extinguished. If you don't want to report to the police, we will Help with the affairs of Mrs. Yu's death."

As the village head, if Liu Jiuzhu and Liu Sanquan kept arguing like this, and a murder case was involved, it would be detrimental to the reputation of the entire village.

In order to settle this matter as soon as possible, the village head felt that it was better to do something, and settle this matter first.

"Village chief, don't check anymore?" A middle-aged man asked.

"How to check?" The village head was annoyed.

Involved in a murder case, involving a woman outside Zhang Yuan, they have no chance of winning at all.Besides, this is Liu Jiuzhu's own trouble, what does it have to do with the village?He doesn't want to take care of these bad things.

Liu Sanquan's eyes flickered.

Fang Xiulan...

that woman...

If this matter is related to her, with her current status, she should not be short of money.

He is so stupid!

Why is the attention on Liu Jiuzhu?What good can Liu Jiuzhu, that stinky girl do him?

"Village chief, forget it. I want to see her off as a husband and wife." Liu Sanquan changed his mind.

The village chief looked at him suspiciously: "You don't need us to deal with the funeral?"

"No need." Liu Sanquan cried, "I want to accompany her again, so I'm not in a hurry to bury her."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Jiuzhu: "No matter what, your mother saved the disaster for you, and you have to take care of me."

Liu Jiuzhu didn't like this set.

Her patience with Liu Sanquan completely disappeared long after her grandma passed away.

When grandma passed away, Liu Sanquan didn't even shed a tear.Not only that, but she used the last of her money for the funeral, and he actually ransacked all the leftovers in the house, not even letting go of the ingredients left over from the funeral.

The villagers dispersed.

The two families next door also had to go back and clean up the house.

"Bamboo, the house is gone, what are you going to do?"

Liu Jiuzhu said: "I am reluctant to leave here, because there are footprints left by my grandma everywhere. Now I haven't even kept my little home with my grandma, and there is nothing here that I miss. In this case, I want to move to Living in the city is just convenient for me to do business."

"Bamboo..." Yang Qingsi ran over. "Bamboo, are you okay?"

Yang Qingsi hurriedly stopped, grabbed her arm and checked her body: "Are you not injured? I just rushed back and brought you food, but I met Aunt Li and the others. They said something happened to your house, you Almost burned to death in his own home. What's going on here?"

Liu Jiuzhu looked at the house in front of him: "No, it's all gone."

"what happened?"

Liu Jiuzhu told Yang Qingsi the result of his analysis.

Yang Qingsi said angrily: "This woman is really vicious. Are you going to let it go like this?"

"The county magistrate is Zhang Yuanwai's uncle, and that woman is protected by Zhang Yuanwai. If we go to report to the officials, isn't that going to go into the mouth of a tiger?" Liu Jiuzhu said, "So, I didn't ask the village chief to report to the officials."

"That's it?" Yang Qingsi was unwilling.

"You can't use normal methods to deal with this kind of woman." Liu Jiuzhu said, "She will be punished, but it's not a head-to-head confrontation with her. Isn't she relying on Zhang Yuanwai to protect her? If Zhang Yuanwai doesn't protect her Now, the things she relies on can't bring her everything, so what do you think will happen to her?"

"However, her stomach is what Zhang Yuanwai values ​​most. As long as her stomach is still there, Zhang Yuanwai will never abandon her."

"Yes." Liu Jiuzhu said.

"Bamboo..." Yang Qingsi looked at her worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Liu Jiuzhu was too calm.

Yang Qingsi and Liu Jiuzhu grew up together, and they were so cute that they wore a skirt.Liu Jiuzhu has a pure personality and can never hide things.But today, she was extraordinarily calm.

"Qingsi, many things have happened recently." Liu Jiuzhu said, "I lost my grandma, but I have a husband. I lost my previous family, but I have a new family. My husband is not here, so I have to wait for him to come back .I don't want to wait for him to come back, and I can't find my existence anymore. I don't want to be bullied anymore. So, I may not be like myself, will you hate me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants you to be bullied?" Yang Qingsi looked at her with accusing eyes, "Just do what you want. No matter what you do, I will support you."

Liu Jiuzhu hugged Yang Qingsi.

At this moment, all her fragility was exposed.

"Zhuzi, that vicious woman Fang Xiulan actually wanted to set fire to you. Such a vicious woman, no matter what you do to punish her, you should punish her. Have you forgotten my character, Yang Qingsi? I have always dared to love and hate That Fang Xiulan dared to treat you like this, I wish I could tear her into pieces. Don't be afraid, I will accompany you."

"Fortunately, I have you." Liu Jiuzhu said, "Qingsi, you must always be with me."

"Oh, don't be so hypocritical, make it seem like I'm your man." Yang Qingsi teased her deliberately.
