The rope used to carry the coffin suddenly broke. The people carrying the coffin had no time to react. The coffin fell to the ground and broke in half.

Seeing the two corpses falling out of the coffins, the crowd suddenly let out piercing screams.

After it became clear that one of the corpses was Wang Baogen, Baogen's wife fainted and died on the spot.

The village chief managed to stabilize everyone and quickly asked Su Mao to report to the town.

However, Su Mao was stopped after taking two steps.

"Don't go!"

"Grandpa Third, why are you here?" The village chief was shocked.

Mr. Su is the most senior person in the village and also the oldest person.

Even the village chief dared not disobey him.

Mr. Su took a few steps forward with his crutch and said expressionlessly: "If I don't come here, this village will be in trouble!"

The village chief had a stern look on his face, and when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Mr. Su raising his hand.

"As the saying goes, if the people do not take action, the officials will not investigate. If word spreads about someone being killed in the village, our village will lose its face."

The village chief was stunned at first, and then said anxiously: "Third Grandpa, we don't even know who killed Wang Baogen now. What if we let it go and the murderer kills other people?"

"Then find the murderer and deal with it according to village rules. If we can't handle such a small matter well, what will other villages think of our village?"

The village chief knew that Mr. Su was also thinking about the village, so he agreed after thinking about it.

After putting the bodies of Mrs. Wang and her son back into the coffin, the village chief called all the men, women and children in the village to the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Hundreds of people from Wuyangyang surrounded the ancestral hall, with the village chief and Mr. Su standing in the middle.

The village chief first explained what Mr. Su meant, and then said: "If any of you know anything, please tell us immediately. The day the murderer goes free, the day our village will be in danger."

The villagers discussed quietly with the people around them, but no one spoke.

At this time, Su Dahe wheeled his wheelchair forward.

This move attracted the attention of everyone present, but when they saw Su Dahe's legs, many people shook their heads and sighed.

Seeing this, Su Dahe didn't even frown and said loudly: "Village chief, I suspect that Wang Baogen's murder is related to Aunt Wang's death."

The village chief looked troubled, "Dahe, I asked the most experienced person in our village to check it out. Baogen's death was an accident."

"Village chief, you said that Aunt Wang disappeared on the Lantern Festival, right?" Su Dahe asked.

The village chief nodded, not understanding the meaning of his question.

"On the morning of the Lantern Festival, Aunt Wang went to my house wearing a new suit, the same one she wore when she died. In addition to these, Aunt Wang also had a gold bracelet on her hand and a silver hairpin on her head. I The whole family saw it.”

As soon as Su Dahe finished speaking, many people in the crowd exclaimed.

"I also saw..."

"I still have me..."

The village chief looked at the speaker, who happened to be the last person to see Mrs. Wang.

"But when Aunt Wang's body was discovered, the gold bracelet and silver hairpin were missing. If they were not placed at home, they must have been taken away by someone, and this person is the murderer!"

Hearing this, everyone present took a deep breath.

The village chief called Baogen's wife out and directed two people to follow her home to look for gold bracelets and silver hairpins.

Soon, the three of them returned empty-handed.

The village chief's heart sank and he looked at Su Dahe and said, "Since you said someone killed Baogen Niang, who killed her?"

Su Dahe smiled and said, "Whoever has Aunt Wang's gold bracelet and silver hairpin is the murderer."

To find these two items would require searching every home in the village, which would surely cause outrage.

After thinking about it, the village chief looked at Mr. Su.

Mr. Su walked forward with his crutches tremblingly, "Ten people will be drawn out by lot, and one person from each house will be searched. The others will stay here and not be allowed to leave. Whoever dares to leave will be the murderer." "

"Why?" Zhang Laosan stood up cursingly, "What if someone steals my things with unclean hands and feet? I don't agree!"

[The first rule of the murderer's law is that the first one to jump out must be the murderer...]

Su Zhaozhao was bored to begin with. After listening to Su Dahe analyze the pile, he immediately analyzed the matter as a criminal case.

Combining the plot in the book and Su Dahe's words, Su Zhaozhao felt that everyone was suspicious.

Now Zhang Laosan jumped out, and Su Zhaozhao immediately locked onto him.

[Third uncle, third uncle, search his house first! 】

Su Dahe had this intention, "Village Chief, I think we should go to Zhang Laosan's house first."

Zhang Laosan glared angrily, pointed at Su Dahe and cursed: "Su Laosan, don't think I dare not hit you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Dajiang stood calmly in front of Su Dahe, and Zhang Laosan suddenly stopped.

[The villain dies because he talks too much, Third Uncle, he is the murderer! 】

Su Zhaozhao roared, wishing he could transform into a primary school student from the God of Death!

The village chief also wanted to pick the thorn first. After searching Zhang Laosan's family, he thought no one else would resist.

However, before the village chief could arrange for someone to draw lots, Zhang Laosan smiled arrogantly.

"It's a showdown, I'm the one who killed him."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was as quiet as a chicken.

It took a while before the village chief came to his senses and asked sharply: "Why do you want to kill them?"

Zhang Laosan looked like a fool and said disdainfully: "Isn't Su Dahe very powerful? Ask him!"

"I know."

Everyone looked towards Su Dajiang, even Zhang Laosan was no exception.

"Zhang Laosan, last time the bear went crazy, you pushed me over on purpose and wanted to kill me, right?"

Hearing this, not to mention other people, even the Su family was shocked.

"Second brother, why didn't you say anything about this?" Su Youmin asked quickly.

"I didn't know who pushed me at the time. I didn't know until just now that Zhang Laosan admitted that he was responsible for the murder."

Zhang Laosan looked ugly, gritted his teeth and said, "So what? You all deserve to die!"

It took a while for everyone to figure out what was going on.

It turns out that Mrs. Wang saw Zhang Laosan pushing Su Dahe, and Mrs. Wang threatened Zhang Laosan with this.

The new clothes on Mrs. Wang's body, as well as the gold bracelets and silver hairpins, were all obtained by threatening Zhang Laosan.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Wang wanted money again.

Zhang Laosan didn't want to be threatened, so he just knocked Mrs. Wang unconscious without doing anything.

After taking off the gold bracelet and silver hairpin, she pushed Mrs. Wang into the manure pit.

But I didn't expect that Wang Baogen knew about Mrs. Wang's threat to Zhang Laosan.

As soon as Mrs. Wang died, Wang Baogen threatened Zhang Laosan.

As a result, he was killed by Zhang Laosan, and his body was placed in a coffin to be buried with Mrs. Wang.

Although Zhang Laosan admitted it, the village chief still asked people to go to his home.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang's gold bracelet and silver hairpin were found in the cabinet of Zhang Laosan's house.

According to the village rules, Zhang Laosan will be beaten to death with a stick, and the execution time will be noon the next day.

On this day, the atmosphere in the village was particularly heavy.

The Su family went to bed early, but they didn't expect to be woken up until midnight.

A group of people stood outside the door holding torches. The first words they saw from the Su family were: "Zhang Laosan ran away!"
