To seduce her

Back then, the small vendors near the Yan family's ancestral home had already moved to other locations because the Yan family moved out of the ancestral home.

Shen Yaochu searched for a long time and spent some time and effort before he found several contact information.

Shen Yaochu went to the address and found an old man who used to run a fruit business near Yan's house.

When Shen Yaochu went over, the old man was sitting on a small bench in front of his house, basking in the sun, with a cloudy look in his eyes.

She walked up and greeted politely: "Hello, I'm the person who contacted you on the phone."

The old man raised his head slightly and looked at Shen Yaochu with a puzzled look: "Are you going to ask about the murder of Miss Yan?"

"Yes." Shen Yaochu handed the old man an envelope: "I want to know what happened that day. Do you think you can still remember it?"

The old man took the envelope, looked down, and saw a wad of money inside.

The old man's cloudy eyes immediately lit up, and he recalled carefully: "Let me think about it... Back then, the eldest lady was very kind to the people around us. I was selling fruit there, and the shops around were all owned by the Yan family. They rented the storefronts to us at a very low price..."

Seeing that the old man was going off topic, Shen Yaochu quickly pulled him back: "Grandpa, I want to ask you, did you see anyone on the day she was killed? Do you remember what those people looked like? Is there anyone who left a deep impression on you?"

The old man frowned and said, "I remember that the wind was very strong that day, and it felt like the weather was going to change. Usually there are many people coming and going in the Yan family, but that day there were not many people. I was surprised that day, why no one came today! Later, someone came."

Shen Yaochu's heart tightened, and he asked hurriedly: "What are the characteristics of that person?"

The old man shook his head: "I didn't see it very clearly, it was just a blurry figure. Later the police came and I tried to go forward to check, but they stopped me."

Shen Yaochu was unwilling to accept it: "Do you still remember what color clothes the person who entered the Yan family wore?"

The old man nodded immediately: "I remember this, he was wearing black clothes and a black hat."

Black clothes, black hat...

Shen Yaochu's face was solemn. Uncle Tian had indeed told her that Shen Cheng'an was indeed wearing black clothes and a black hat when he went to Yan's house.

It seems that the person the old man was talking about was indeed Shen Chengan.

It is almost certain that after Shen Cheng'an left home that day, he did go to find Yan Yuesheng as he said.

The old man continued, "But I didn't pay much attention. I just remember that he walked very fast, as if he was in a hurry, and he walked to the Yan family yard in a flash."

Shen Yaochu: "Do you know what happened later?"

"I really don't remember anything else, kid, I'm old too..."

"Okay, thank you. Your words are very helpful to me!" Shen Yaochu said to the old man, "There is my phone number in the envelope. If you think of anything in the future, you can contact me at any time."

……

After leaving the old man, Shen Yaochu called an aunt who worked as a sanitation worker near Yan's house.

The aunt looked a little cautious. When Lin Yue explained her purpose, she frowned slightly and recalled.

"I was alone at the sanitation station, which was not far from the Yan family. I just saw a police car outside, but I didn't see anything else!"

A hint of disappointment flashed across Shen Yaochu's eyes, but she still asked politely: "Auntie, did you hear any sound? Or did you notice anything special?"

Auntie waved her hand, already a little impatient: "I really didn't notice it. I didn't dare to go out to see it at the time, so I stayed in the house."

Shen Yaochu sighed, and the hope in his heart dimmed even more.

She thanked her aunt and turned to leave.

Shen Yaochu contacted several more people, but most of them either had forgotten about it or were unwilling to talk about the past.

Although Shen Yaochu did not intend to give up, he still felt frustrated.

Looking at the one remaining contact number on his notebook, Shen Yaochu slowly exhaled.

Uncle Wang, the former owner of a small supermarket near the Yan family’s ancestral home, is Shen Yaochu’s last hope.

Shen Yaochu went to a small supermarket according to the address and found Uncle Wang.

Shen Yaochu walked into the supermarket and politely explained her purpose to Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang was obviously a little defensive: "You want to ask about the murder of Miss Yan? Who are you?"

"I..." Shen Yaochu hesitated for a moment and explained, "I am her daughter-in-law."

Uncle Wang was startled: "Are you Yuchuan or Yushan's wife?"

Shen Yaochu replied: "I am Gao Yuchuan's wife."

Uncle Wang's defenses finally dissipated, and he said with some emotion: "When he was still a teenager, he would occasionally come to patronize my business. I didn't expect that he is married now. What a pity..."

Speaking of Yan Yuesheng, Uncle Wang sighed: "What do you want to ask?"

"I just want to know what happened on that day." Shen Yaochu explained: "Just tell me whatever you think of."

"In fact, I was resting inside before, and my wife was watching the store. She didn't say anything unusual. Later, the police car came, and I came out to see, but there was nothing special. At that time, I was wondering to my wife how this could happen." Uncle Wang shook his head and said, "The only thing I found a little strange was that in the early morning when I was about to close the store and go to bed, a man walked over from the Yan family."

"man?"

After asking so many people, everyone only knew that Shen Chengan entered the Yan family, but no one was seen coming out.

Uncle Wang's words made Shen Yaochu alert: "Did you see the face?"

Shen Yaochu found a photo of his father on his phone and handed it to Uncle Wang: "Is this the person?"

Uncle Wang took a look and shook his head: "I'm not sure. You can't talk nonsense about such things. I didn't see the man's face clearly at the time."

“Are there any characteristics?”

"Features?" Uncle Wang thought for a moment and said, "Nothing special, just all black. The man walked very fast and seemed to be in a panic. He kept his head down and left in a hurry. I only saw his back."

Shen Yaochu took out another photo of her father. It was a photo of when she was still little. Her father carried her on his shoulders, holding her brother’s left hand and her mother’s right hand. It was a photo of the family of four from their backs.

"Then take a look, is this the man?"

Uncle Wang took a closer look and said cautiously, "I don't think so. The man at that time was big and strong, much stronger than this man. How tall is this man? The man I saw was at least 1.8 meters tall."

Shen Yaochu was stunned, as if she saw a ray of light in the darkness.

It seems that Shen Chengan was not the only one present at the scene that day. Someone else also left Yan's house in the early morning!
