The sparse white hair on the mayor's head was lifted by the wind, like a dead branch buried in the yellow soil. There was not a single living leaf, only broken meridians. He smiled bitterly for a while and shook his head, "Dead people don't owe anything. No matter what he did wrong, it's all in the past. There's no need to mention it again. We watched him grow up with our own eyes. He was a good child in my eyes, just like my good-for-nothing son …"
The townspeople bowed their heads, "My condolences, Mayor."
An old man who spoke before said to Ning Shu and others, "You just said that you could help us find the murderer who killed the lame Eighth and the others. But we've wasted so much time talking. Have you found anything? You're not lying to us, are you? "
"That's right. We've told you everything you want to know. If you don't give us an explanation, we don't care if you're the Crown Prince or the Emperor of Heaven. Although the people of Baijia Town are all country bumpkins, we still have guts!"
Facing the increasingly noisy questioning of the crowd, Ning Shu kept her head down and thought quietly without saying anything. Then she slowly walked to the lame Eighth's wife, who was crying so hard that she almost fainted.
"Your husband didn't come. Why didn't you know?"
The woman covered her face with tears falling from her fingers, "He was going to come. Last night, when we were chatting, he said that he would go to the Mystic Fairy to pray for his good brother, the deceased young master of the mayor's family. He prayed that the Mystic Fairy would bless him with a good family in the next life. This morning, when we were about to set off, he suddenly said that someone was looking for him for something urgent and asked me to go first. He quickly followed me. Who knew that when I went to the Mystic Fairy's Temple and waited for a long time, he didn't come. Then I heard this bad news … "
She cried and cried until she couldn't hold on anymore and fainted. Everyone hurried to help her.
Xiahou Qing said softly in her ear, "Little Shu, do you have an idea in your mind?"
Ning Shu nodded, "Yes, a guess. However, I have one last question. "
Xiahou said, "Little Shu, do you want to ask about the relationship between the three dead people in front of you and the deceased son of the mayor?"
Having her thoughts guessed, Ning Shu's eyes lit up like stars. "Yes, that's right. How do you know? "
Xiahou Qing's lips slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile. His slightly cold fingertips lightly touched the tip of her nose. "I am the roundworm in Xiao Shu's stomach. Naturally, I know everything. Let me ask for you."
Xiahou Qing's voice was as clear as jade. He asked the last question for Ning Shu.
Soon, someone said, "They're about the same age and grew up together. Their relationship is pretty good. A few years ago, when Pork Mantis lost his wife, he was depressed and drank all day long. He wasn't in the mood to do business and turned himself into something neither human nor ghost. I even saw Cripple Old Ba and the others trying to persuade him. Among them was the son of the mayor's family. Their relationship should be good. Why are you asking this question? Is it related to this case? "
"It's related." After getting the answer to her last question, the mess in Ning Shu's heart was finally solved. She saw the truth that was hidden at the core of the mess. "I know who the murderer is."
"Who on earth is it?"
Not only the townspeople of Baijia Town, but also all the people present were looking at her. They were eagerly looking forward to the final answer that kept them in suspense.
"Ning Shu, don't keep us guessing. Tell us quickly. Who on earth is it?" Xiao Zhangping was extremely curious. This was an unsolved case with no clues. Three years had passed, and six of the nine victims were dead. The three in front of him were also difficult to find any clues. How could she solve the case so quickly in such a short time?
Ning Shu's eyes slid over the faces of everyone present. They were either curious, horrified, expectant or scared. In short, they were all wonderful. Even the old mayor who was about to die couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Who on earth is this cruel man? Is he hiding among us? Miss, please tell us quickly and solve our Baijia Town's dilemma. "
Ning Shu's gaze was fixed on his face that was full of wrinkles, on his turbid and dim eyeballs, and on each of his wrinkles that varied in depth.
She said, "Here, here, here. It's you. "
