As a sweetheart in the palm of your hand

Chapter 4 Collusion
"Yes. But he didn't give us money, and he didn't bring anything back. My mother used the money to sew some purses and take them to the market to sell."

Hearing this, Fang Wu, who was asking the villagers who were watching the theater at the door, looked back.

The child is big and straight, standing upright, there is no small movement on his body, and what he says does not seem to be lying.

Fang Wu looked at them and said, "What about your parents' relationship on weekdays?"

She asked simply, and did not avoid the villagers at the scene.

"Many times in my sleep I would be woken up by my father's yelling and scolding. He wanted to rob my mother of the money. As long as he had money left over, he would not tell my mother, and would not answer my mother's questions." The child thought for a while.

Fang Wu nodded and pulled Zhang Xuan away: "I thought this family was very strange."

"No? Do you have any ideas?"

"Perhaps the husband of the deceased can be investigated as a suspect. This child is only four or five years old. Ordinary children, at this time, shouldn't be very sensible?"

The children of the poor have always been in charge of the family, but this child, not only makes people feel distressed, but also makes people feel weird...

Yamen squad room.

The three of them crowded together, and Ji Xuan occupied the only chair and squinted at the portrait of the deceased.

"The deceased, Liu Shumei, was 42 years old and weighed 55 kilograms." As he spoke, Fang Wu announced the life borrowed from the household registration.

"This man cares a lot about his woman, or she doesn't have extra time to communicate with other people."

Zhang Xuan glanced at it. The social relationship of the deceased was very simple. He would only go out to the market every month when the ten days changed.

But the strange thing is that they only found a small amount of needles and threads, which shows that the deceased may have other footholds, or that the deceased has not yet come to buy them.

"Is there anything unusual about the people in the village?" Ji Xuan asked.

Fang Wu said, "I can't see it for now."

"The third class of yamen servants also visited the pharmacies and clinics near them, but they have never seen any men come to buy black pockmarks. Should we expand the scope of our visits?" Seeing no one speak, Fang Wu continued.

This case seems to have a lot of clues, but they are scattered, and there is no thread that can connect them.

Or lack some necessary evidence.

"Perhaps the reporter is the key. Just imagine, if there is no reporter, how will this case be handled?" Ji Xuan tapped the child's portrait.

"Accident? Or hastily buried?" Fang Wu guessed.

Daman's system is not yet complete, as long as there is no trouble, the government will not take action.

Sometimes, when a person dies, it is just a visit by the family members to the household registration office with the household office.

"I won't intervene at all, let alone file a case." Zhang Xuan whistled impatiently.

He is a veteran in handling cases. He grew up in the yamen and is familiar with the county. He has long since lost his luck with human nature.

"So we take the child as a breakthrough point to see how the child is different today or recently. Also, this one is not so dependent on parents." Fang Wu nodded.

"Well, let's do this..." Ji Xuan affirmed Fang Wu's thoughts.

A child is also a breakthrough point but this breakthrough is more risky
Because the word child is inherently uncertain, it may cause misunderstandings for them.

But it's better than having no direction, so everyone immediately followed up the matter from the informant.

At the same time, he does not relax in other directions, after all, the big man is also strange.

"Perhaps the child can be detained together with the big man, and his words and deeds can be monitored. One is to prevent collusion, and the other is to avoid quarrels. It is best if it can be done in secret." Fang Wu suggested.

Collusion will make the case more difficult.

Probably at this time, a few yamen servants ran in, clutching a crumpled piece of paper and said: "I found a suicide note in the yard. Could it be that the deceased committed suicide?"

"Impossible." Fang Wu and Ji Xuan retorted almost at the same time.

While speaking, Fang Wu had already taken the suicide note and glanced at it, while Ji Xuan only moved his lips.

"Can you stop jumping to conclusions?" Ji Xuan raised his head sharply and gritted his teeth.

Fang Wu's bare-toe light blue silk official dress still couldn't stop her childishness, and also overwhelmed Ji Xuan's sternness as always.

"The handwriting on this is imitation, and I can write it out if you give it to me."

Fang Wu walked over, handed the suicide note to Ji Xuan and said seriously.

She will not blindly follow Ji Xuan just because Ji Xuan is his master.

"The first character is not crooked, it doesn't look very confident, but the more you go to the back, the more powerful the strokes are, and he doesn't stop at a stroke, so he's not a beginner.

Fang Wu handed the suicide note to Ji Xuan and explained: "Although the paper is wrinkled, you can see the complexity of the ink marks, so there are more possibilities for imitation."

"Also, the reason why I came to the conclusion is that I believe you. Do you think I should doubt you?"

Fang Wu puffed up his mouth, and said with some displeasure.

Ji Xuan said with some embarrassment: "I, I'll go and see those two people, you and that go buy a meal."

As Ji Xuan said, he flashed out of the class room, and headed towards the signing room at the back.

Fang Wu stared blankly, this was the first time she saw Ji Xuan move so fast.

"Let's go, go buy food for your incompetent and tempered boss." Zhang Xuan dragged Fang Wu, and went outside in a dawdly manner.

I don't care at all, whether the strength in my hands is appropriate.

"How can you be so happy to be ordered by him?"

Fang Wu didn't quite understand.In her image, these two people have always been incompatible in private.

"Because he gave me this! Otherwise, why do you think those yamen servants would help look through the yard?" Zhang Xuan picked out a few copper coins from his sleeve and weighed them in his hands as he spoke.

Fang Wu took advantage of his lack of strength and pulled his hand away, and followed.

She knew that during this trip, Ji Xuan must have given Zhang Xuan a lot. She had heard that Zhang Xuan grew up eating a lot of food. Yamen servants are definitely not what he can do with the few copper coins in his hand.

"Don't let me bribe, he started to bribe himself." Fang Wu said a little dissatisfied.

She was admitted to the Yamen and studied with Ji Xuan for about three months. She tidied up a lot of case files and saw that the two were arguing and making money. She hadn't seen Ji Xuan settle the case much.

"He's protecting you, so you have to study hard. Don't look at him as strict, but he's actually lazy." Zhang Xuan pulled Fang Wu back and said.

"You..." Fang Wu was stunned, she didn't react too much, how could he speak for him?

"We grew up together, and he looks different inside and out." Zhang Xuan also cherished this girl.

Although Daman has rules for women to be officials, and even encourages women to be officials, the number of women who are officials in Daman is less than one-tenth of men.
