The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 158 Twists and turns

"Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian were taken away by the county police!"

The village head said to Lu Changqing with a sad face.

This young man has been coming to the Xiao family recently, and the village head has been familiar with him for a long time.

"Why were you arrested and taken away?" Lu Changqing was anxious.

"They say there are new discoveries in Zhang Dashan's case, so they want to call them over for questioning!"

"A new discovery?"

Lu Changqing had a bad feeling.

He quickly climbed onto the carriage and told the driver to turn the carriage around and head towards the county government office.

In the lobby of the county government office.

Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian were kneeling in the hall, answering the county magistrate's questions.

"Ms. Xiao Ye, is what Constable Li just said about the conflict between the Zhang family and you true?"

"To answer your question, it is true."

"So even though your two families are neighbors, you have always held a grudge against the Zhang family, and finally hired someone to kill them!"

Ye Xinran just found it funny when she heard the county magistrate's words.

"Sir, although I am dissatisfied with the Zhang family, I am not a vicious person. Do I have to kill people just because someone scolds me?

Besides, I have been timid since I was young, I don’t even dare to kill a chicken, how can I have the courage to hire a killer to kill someone?”

"Although you don't dare, what about the man next to you? He is a hunter, so killing is naturally easy for him."

"The villain is wronged!"

Xiao Huaian stood up straight, and said calmly: "My Lord, I am just a hunter, not a bandit. I would not dare to kill people and rob them even if I had the guts!"

"What are you afraid of?"

County Magistrate Qiao smiled and said, "Xiao Huaian, have you forgotten why you came to Yuntong County in the first place?"

Xiao Huaian showed no sign of panic at being exposed, but replied calmly: "Sir, I am innocent, and I was exiled before."

"Be bold!"

County Magistrate Qiao slammed the gavel again.

"How can this county wrongly accuse you?"

"I think you two won't cry until you see the coffin. Someone, bring up the bracelet."

The men quickly brought the jade bracelet found in Zhang Dashan's home.

The jade bracelet was burned into pieces, but the original pattern can still be seen.

"Look carefully, Xiao Ye, do you recognize this bracelet?"

Ye Xinran was a little confused.

What bracelet?

What does this bracelet have to do with her?

Seeing that she didn't answer, the county magistrate said, "Look carefully, the word 'Ye' is engraved inside the bracelet. Isn't it yours?"

"My Lord, this is definitely not mine. My family is poor, and this bracelet looks very valuable. If you don't believe me, you can go to the jewelry store in the city and ask who bought it."

County Magistrate Qiao said sternly, "I knew you wouldn't admit it. I've just sent someone to investigate and the results will be out soon. Once the facts are laid out before us, we'll see if you dare to keep your mouth shut."

In this matter, Qiao Zhengshan really did not suspect Ye Xinran and his wife at the beginning.

But ever since the last time the Marquis came, he felt more and more that there was something wrong with Ye Xinran and his wife.

Besides, the Marquis's words implied that he hoped they would have problems.

Unfortunately, it has been confirmed by many parties that Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian have nothing to do with Ye Dacheng's family's case.

The county magistrate was a little disappointed at first, but he didn't expect to find a breakthrough in Zhang Dashan's case.

It turns out that it wasn't a lover or an internal conflict, but it was the neighbor Xiao family who took action?

County Magistrate Qiao got excited and immediately ordered someone to bring the Xiao couple over.

Faced with the injustice of the county magistrate, Ye Xinran was not afraid at all.

What she couldn't understand was that County Magistrate Qiao had been nice to her before and had even taken the initiative to show her goodwill, so why did his attitude suddenly change?

What caused his drastic change in attitude?

She could only think of Lord Lu.

The county magistrate was nice to me in the beginning because of the Lu family, and now his attitude towards me has suddenly changed, which must also be because of the Lu family.

But what did Lord Lu say to the county magistrate?

Doesn't he want to recognize himself?

My attitude has been made clear to Mrs. Lu. If he just doesn't want to recognize me, is it necessary to go through so much trouble?

Ye Xinran couldn't understand.

Unless there's something else hidden in it.

The thought in my mind only lasts for a moment.

While she was thinking, the person who was sent to investigate the jade bracelet also returned to the yamen.

"Your Excellency, I have already found out that this jade bracelet belongs to Miss Ye Xinyao of the Ye family?"

Ye Xinyao’s?

The county magistrate was also confused.

He just wanted to investigate Ye Xinran. How could Ye Xinyao's jade bracelet appear in a family like the Zhang family, which was not even remotely related to her.

Could it be...

"Mr. County Magistrate, the results of the autopsy here are out."

In front of everyone, the coroner handed the autopsy results to the county magistrate.

Ye Xinran took advantage of this time to secretly glance at Xiao Huaian.

Seeing that Xiao Huaian's expression didn't change at all, she felt relieved.

They both knew everything about the Zhang family.

However, Ye Xinran did not completely believe what Xiao Huaian said about the cause of death of the Zhang mother and son.

Although Xiao Huaian said that they had been killed by the killer long ago.

But Ye Xinran felt that she heard Mrs. Zhang's voice that night.

However, none of this matters anymore.

No matter who killed the man, it was not Xiao Huaian.

She warned herself.

The county magistrate read the coroner's examination results from beginning to end.

The deceased was a male, between 20 and 30 years old.

Although he had been burnt by the fire, judging from the direction of his meridians, he should be a martial artist.

Such a person cannot be associated with the claim of murder due to love.

Could it be...

County Magistrate Qiao had the Ye family's housekeeper brought up to identify the bracelet.

The housekeeper pointed at the bracelet and cried, "Yes, this is our young lady's favorite bracelet. She wears it all day long."

"What's going on? How did Ye Xinyao's bracelet appear in Zhang Dashan's house?"

County Magistrate Qiao looked at the bracelet and talked to himself.

Xiao Huaian said: "Have you ever thought that the man who suddenly appeared in the Zhang family might have other purposes?

My family and the Zhang family are separated by a wall, and my wife's surname is also Ye!"

After Xiao Huaian's reminder, County Magistrate Qiao seemed to understand something in a flash.

Yes! This man is the murderer who killed the three members of the Ye family! He went to Yunbian Village to kill Ye Xinran!

"But since he was able to kill three people from the Ye family, how could he die at the hands of the Zhang family mother and son?"

Xiao Huaian reminded: "Sir, although we country folks are calculative and prone to quarrels, we are all kind-hearted. I believe that this person must have disguised himself as someone else and stayed in the Zhang family, hoping to take advantage of us.

Only after Zhang's mother and son discovered his purpose did they try to stop him.

Although we don’t know what happened during the process, the final result is clear.

Zhang Dashan and Zhang protected us, and we are willing to give a little money to Zhang Zong, which is also our little token of appreciation. "
