Ex-wife villain

The capital is indeed very prosperous.

When she was in Anhe Village, Qu Hongling heard Sister Ye say that the land of Gyeonggi is actually a world of fireworks, and the prosperous scenery is spectacular.

There are teahouses and restaurants where music and singing are endless, there are tile roofs and bars with a lot of drama, there are rare treasures, a dazzling array of shops and stalls, there are acrobats in the streets and alleys, and the spectators are like a crowd...

But Qu Hongling, who had longed for it for a long time, was not as excited as she imagined when she actually stepped into this bustling place.

The streets bustling with cars and horses are not as good as the narrow alleys in Anhe Village.

The high-rise buildings with dancing sleeves fluttering and a variety of plays are not as good as the simple erhu playing of a few old men in the village sitting leisurely under the eaves.

The flower lake reflecting the stars and the lanterns coming on is not as good as the stream in front of the house.

Not as good as, not as good as, nothing as good as anything...

Just because there is no longer that figure accompanying her.

Without her little brother Jiang.

After visiting the City God's Temple with Uncle Shen, Qu Hongling lost interest and returned to the inn to rest.

Seeing this, Shen Shengyuan felt uncomfortable and simply went to investigate the rabbit demon Xi'er wholeheartedly.

Although the capital city is the important place under the emperor's feet, no evil spirit or evil spirit can infect it in the slightest. But after all, the Monster Clan is huge in power and will always secretly plant some spy bases in various places.

When Qu Hongling was able to successfully kill the former prefect in Qingzhou, the demon spies lurking in the city provided the greatest help.

Early the next morning, Shen Shengyuan returned to the inn.

"The current investigation has revealed something. Xi'er came to the capital more than half a month ago and conducted transactions with people from the Xichu Pavilion, but was tricked by the other party."

Shen Shengyuan took the tea poured by Qu Hongling, paused, and continued, "On the way to escape, Xi'er encountered the dark lights of six doors and was eventually killed. Her whereabouts have not yet been found."

Qu Hongling thought for a moment and said calmly: "Xi'er has our Heavenly Demon Sect's 'Mysterious Thunder Talisman of Life and Death' on her body. She is not that easy to die. You can use this to track her."

Shen Shengyuan nodded, "I will find her as soon as possible."

Another morning I woke up from a dream.

Waking up from the broken dream intertwined with the memory of his ex-wife, the sky outside the window was still gloomy.

After Jiang Shouzhong washed up, he was in a daze for a while, then began to gather his thoughts and seriously think about the next direction of investigation.

Although the murder case has now been solved, there is no clue to the case of the monster taking out the heart.

According to Li Nanshuang, if the monster that had just possessed Ge Dasheng had taken out Ge Dasheng's heart, it would mean that the monster appeared within about half an hour after Wen Zhaodi left.

Because once it exceeds half an hour, the essence and blood contained in the heart of the deceased will completely dissipate.

To the monster, the heart at this time is of little use.

So there are three guess points.

First, the monster came to Wufeng Temple accidentally, saw Ge Dasheng who had just died, and took out his heart.

Second, the monster is hiding in Wufeng Temple and witnesses everything happening.

Third, the monster followed Wen Zhaodi all the way.

Jiang Shouzhong hoped it would be the latter two, after all, the first guess was too random.

If the monster stops committing crimes, it will be difficult to catch it.

As for the second conjecture.

The murder scene had been investigated at that time and no traces were found. Or maybe you didn’t survey carefully enough and didn’t notice it, so you have to go to the Taoist temple again to have a look.

But if it is the third guess, then we need to investigate the neighbors around Lao Zhang's house.

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Shouzhong noticed that it was already dawn. The flaming sun leaps out of the east, like molten steel just poured out of a blast furnace, its rays of light spreading out in red waves.

Jiang Shouzhong stretched out, put on thick clothes, and prepared to go out to have something to eat before going to Wufeng Temple to investigate.

Unfortunately, shoehorned face came.

Jiang Shouzhong squinted at Lu Renjia, who was holding roasted sweet potatoes, and said with a smile: "With his face glowing red, it seems that someone tasted Qing Niang's meat buns yesterday? What a joy."

"Taste the shit!"

Lu Renjia threw a hot sweet potato to the other party, twitched his cold and red nose and said, "I went to Chunyu Tower yesterday, but I didn't see Qing Niang."

Jiang Shouzhong patted the burnt residue on the sweet potato, took a bite and asked vaguely: "Then what have you been doing all day?"

When Lu Renjia saw the newly bought red apricot tea on the table, he subconsciously reached out his hand. Jiang Shouzhong glared at him before he retracted his hand and said with a smile:

"I swept away the snow in Qingniang's yard, wiped the tables, chairs, pavilions and everything before going back."

"Good, good, good."

Jiang Shouzhong held out his thumb and said, "Go on, lick like this."

Lu Renjia stared and said, "How can this be called licking? Do you understand this is dedication? True love requires selfless dedication. You will understand when you are my age."

"Yeah."

Jiang Shouzhong nodded in agreement.

Probably realizing that he could not convince the other party, Lu Renjia snorted and stopped arguing on the topic, and asked instead: "Is there any clue about the case?"

"I thought Mr. A forgot that we were investigating a case."

Jiang Shouzhong said sarcastically.

Master Jia, who is generous and knows how to make selfless contributions, also understands that he is in the wrong.

He pointed at the roasted sweet potato in Jiang Shouzhong's hand and said with a smile: "I know Xiao Jiang that you have been getting up late these days, so I brought some breakfast to fill my stomach. It will also warm my stomach in the cold weather."

Jiang Shouzhong rolled his eyes, "Go to Wufeng Temple first, and I'll tell you slowly."

The two of them were walking halfway when they met Lao Liao, the county's arresting officer. He was leading several police officers toward the county government in a depressed manner.

"Old Liao."

Lu Renjia's eyes lit up and he said hello.

When Lao Liao saw it was Jiang Shouzhong and his two men, a smile appeared on his gloomy face, "Are you going to handle a case? Where is Lao Zhang?"

"Lao Zhang is still at home."

Lao Liao smiled and nodded at the other county police officers. After saying hello, he asked in a low voice,

"What's going on, Old Liao? Why are everyone looking so grim? Could it be that they were scolded by the county magistrate? How about I go and intercede on your behalf? The county magistrate and I are very familiar with each other."

Lao Liao waved his hand and said angrily:

"Yiguawazi came to report the crime, saying that he saw someone dumping a body in Yunhu Lake at midnight the night before yesterday. It frightened a large group of us government officials to go to Yunhu Lake to look for the body, but we couldn't find the body.

Oh, by the way, that Guawazi said, he looked at the person dumping the body like Zhao Wancang, the neighbor of Xiao Zhang’s family..."

Zhao Wanchang?

Jiang Shouzhong's eyes narrowed.

At present, he has included Zhao Wanchang as one of the targets of investigation.

On the surface, Zhao Wanchang is not involved in Ge Dasheng's heart-wrenching case. The only doubt is that he, who was supposed to go to his father-in-law's house to persuade his daughter-in-law to return home, returned home in the middle of the night.

Otherwise, Zheng Shanqi, the thief, would not have been unlucky enough to be caught.

Hearing what Lao Liao said suddenly, Jiang Shouzhong couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is the person who reported the crime sure you saw it clearly?"

"Look at this shit!"

Lao Liao said angrily, "We went to Zhao Wanchang's house to inquire. At first, the man named Zhao looked very panicked and looked like something was wrong. I heard that his wife had returned to her parents' home, so I was going to send someone to confirm.

To be honest, Lao Liao and I have been handling cases for so many years. When I saw Zhao Wancang looking wrong, I guessed that this guy might have really killed his wife and dumped her body. As a result, when he was about to take him to the Yamen for interrogation, his wife came back from her parents' home.

His grandma made us so embarrassed that we wanted to hang up the man who reported the crime.

But it’s our fault for being stupid. This melon boy is not in his right mind, and all his hard work was in vain..."

Jiang Shouzhong was thoughtful as he listened to Lao Liao's nagging complaints.

The reason why Zhao Wancang's daughter-in-law returned to her parents' home was because she heard Wen Laoba say that someone was having an affair in Aunt Zhang's mill shed, and the man looked like her husband.

Zhao Wancang ran to persuade his daughter-in-law, but returned in vain.

It had only been a few days, but his wife had already lost her temper?

After Lao Liao left, Jiang Shouchang weighed the matter and finally decided to focus the investigation on Zhao Wanchang first.
