The old lady is reborn

The police went to the night watchman's house again, but the family provided little useful information. That day was just an ordinary day, and no matter how hard he thought about it, there was nothing unusual about the night watchman.

The people from the police station came out and went to look for another night watchman who had been absent because he was not feeling well.

When talking about what happened back then, he was a little hesitant.

Later he finally confessed that he was not feeling unwell that day, but the second shopkeeper invited him and a few of his employees to have a drink, and he thought it was a great honor to be invited by the second shopkeeper, so he had to go.

He originally mentioned that there was one more person, but the second shopkeeper said that they couldn't invite both of them to drink, so there had to be someone to keep watch.

He thought about it and it made sense. But he felt embarrassed to tell the other person directly that he was going out for a drink, so he lied and said he was not feeling well.

The next day he heard that someone had died in an accident. He was shocked and felt bad. After all, the two of them had been patrolling together for a long time.

The police station followed the clues and went to find the second manager. Fortunately, except for the dead, all these people were still working in this blacksmith shop.

The second shopkeeper recalled the incident and insisted that it was after closing the shop that day that he called all the shop assistants out for a drink. They happened to meet the night watchman and they called out to him together.

The police officer asked him, "You are the second in command, and you invited the night watchmen to drink without asking the boss beforehand. Can you be responsible for anything that happens?"

The second shopkeeper bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "It is indeed my fault." It was flawless.

Not long after the police returned to the yamen, the night watchman came to the police again and said, "You asked me if anything special happened.

In fact, I have always felt that something is not right. After calling me out for a drink that day, the second shopkeeper kept asking me, intentionally or unintentionally, whether it was me or Lao Zhao who patrolled the blacksmith's yard the day before yesterday.

Sometimes we would go on separate inspections, for example, I would go to the gold, silver and bronze side, and Lao Zhao would go to the iron side, because the iron shop was the largest. However, there was no fixed rule as to who would go which side.

After finishing their inspection inside the shop, they would go outside the courtyard wall for a patrol before joining together.

The night before yesterday, Lao Zhao was patrolling alone in the blacksmith shop. When the second shopkeeper asked me the first time, I didn't think much and answered directly.

But the second manager asked me the same question a second and third time. Although I still said the same thing and it was the truth, I felt that something was not right.

The next morning I learned that Lao Zhao had died. I wondered if something happened to Lao Zhao when he was patrolling the blacksmith shop alone the day before.

After that, whenever I looked at the second shopkeeper, I always felt uneasy, as if my heart was beating like a drum, but I didn't dare to show it or say anything.

I joked with them every day and did my job carefully. I didn't even dare to quit this job."

Huai'an found Dou Yang and told him that he didn't have to quit his job and could just leave the blacksmith shop. He arranged for him to live in Nan'an Marquis' Mansion for a while.

Dou Yang asked: "Uncle, what happened to this blacksmith shop? I am doing well here and don't want to leave."

Huai'an asked him, "Did you find anything unusual here?"

Dou Yang thought about it, shook his head, and then smiled again: "Uncle, I have a brother, Li Bing."

He said to Huai'an: "Uncle, my father...is also on duty, I understand, but if I want to leave, can I take Li Bing with me?"

Huai'an thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but there are two conditions. First, you can't reveal anything when you take him away. Find another reason. Second, if you take him away, I will arrange for you two to live in the manor."

"to make!"

"After you and Li Bing come out, turn right and walk forward. There will be a carriage from the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion waiting for you there, and it will take you to the farm."

Dou Yang stood up to leave, but stopped after thinking about it: "Uncle, I can't leave.

If there is a problem with the blacksmith shop, then I am the weather vane. To do this job, I handed in my household registration and guarantor documents. They know that my father used to be a police chief, and they also know that my current guarantor, you, works in the police station.

They knew about my involvement with the police station, and if I suddenly disappeared, they would take action immediately.

If they destroyed or moved anything, there would be nothing to find."

Huai'an looked at Dou Yang: "As expected, you are the son of Fengnian."

Dou Yang looked at Huai'an: "I understand, we just need to make the weather vane turn, right?"

Huai'an nodded: "As long as you are safe, I still have to go and provoke your boss."
