Part Three, Chapter 116, Case 4

, looking at the thousands of lights in the distance. A feeling of sadness, even tragedy, surged in his heart. Life is full of ups and downs, most want freedom but are most bound.He didn't answer, but...Shu Tinglan walked beside her, feeling her tension, and knew they had reached their destination. 。

This house was more dilapidated than I imagined. It had been empty for years, not even a complete roof left. The room where she was locked up back then had also collapsed into ruins. It's almost impossible to find the truth about Lao San Wang's death here. 。

The two stood in the yard, at a loss for words. They looked at each other, Chen Ling suddenly laughed inexplicably, just finding it a bit ridiculous. Everything here had already been erased from her life without a trace. Now, due to her profession and her impending marriage, it had all come back unexpectedly. 。And before that, she had even been led astray, falling into a panic that she was a murderer. 。Now, standing here, all that happened here gradually becomes clear. If she had a chance to choose again, she would still without hesitation throw stones at that man. 。Shu Tinglan: "It's unlikely to find physical evidence." 。Let's ask the villagers next door. 。"Good"

"The young people in this village have almost all gone out to work, leaving behind only children and the elderly. There are only a few middle-aged people left. They are very wary of strangers who come to the village and are unwilling to say anything, especially about Wang's family, they remain completely silent." 。There was only one man over 50, waving his hands and saying: "He went to the city to make a fortune, to make a fortune!" 。The man was speaking in a dialect, but it was close to standard Mandarin, so I could get the general idea. 。And Chen Ling has changed a lot these years, completely reborn. Plus, she was mostly locked up back then, so naturally no one could recognize her,

"What about the third son of this family"

"That fool He died long ago, killed by someone." 。The middle-aged man glanced at them and, whether intentionally or unintentionally, said... 。Chen Ning gritted her teeth and endured the discomfort, asking: "Killed by whom"

"Just that wife I bought back then, she ran away" 。It's terrible, I've lost everything—money and possessions, and even my life. 。"

Chen Ling returned, suspecting that he knew their identities and deliberately said it to her. She glanced at Lawyer Shu and followed his words: "Why is it said that that woman killed it"

"Need I ask We all saw it, a big hole in her head"

“The man gestured with his fists, and only after finishing did he ask warily, “Who are you What are you doing in our village”

The two men made up a random excuse to get past him.” 。By now it was afternoon, and they couldn't find any helpful evidence. Fearing danger if it got dark, they left the village. 。

Chen Ning replied a little dejectedly: "I'm sorry, Lawyer Shu. It seems I made you run for nothing." 。"

"It's not a waste of time, we can't find evidence here, let's start looking elsewhere."> 。Song Jingye's car was parked outside the village. Seeing them come out, he opened the door for them to get in. He didn't ask anything, as if he had expected them to return empty-handed. 。Chen Ning returned to a state of dejection, but it didn't affect her mood too much. She earnestly discussed with Lawyer Shu, "That man just now was weird, I think he was arranged there by someone, waiting for us to come..." 。"

“Indeed, it resembles an intentional act of misleading.” 。"Mr. Shu, what if there are no physical evidence or witnesses in the case from back then" "Then we'd have to exhume the body and have a forensic pathologist determine the cause of death." 。Shu Tinglan was actually just teasing when she said it. 。Chen Ning, after listening back, stuck out her tongue. Hearing such heavy-flavored words from the beautiful Ms. Shu, a lawyer, felt somewhat novel. Sure enough, she was a lawyer. 。。He glanced at her in the rearview mirror, and she looked up at him. They exchanged a silent look. 。

Shu Tinglan was bowing her head to reply to messages. She came to the northwest on a business trip and didn't tell Zhuo YUAN, Zhuo YUAN only knew from his parents today that she wasn't in Beijing. After repeated questioning, Shu Tinglan told him that she had come to the northwest, but the matter was finished, and she could go back tomorrow. Zhuo YUAN was so angry that he didn't reply to her message for a while. 。After calming Zhu Yu'an down, the car arrived at their hotel. 。Chen Ning just got back in her car when she received a call from an unknown number. As soon as the other person heard her voice, they excitedly said, "Teacher Chen, it's me, Wu Jian! Finally got in touch with you!" 。"Wu Jian" She quickly searched her brain for the name, forgiving herself for being overloaded lately. She felt like she'd heard it before, but couldn't place where. 。Song Jingye stopped to wait for her to answer the phone. Shu Tinglan gestured to her and then went back to the room first. 。The other party didn't feel discouraged at all because she didn't remember, and still said cheerfully: "At the airport in Xili country, you saved my wife and children, do you remember They were the last ones to board the plane>>> 。"Chen Ling finally remembered, " Hello 。"I said I would definitely treat you to a meal when I return home, thank you for saving our family's life." 。"

Thank you, you're welcome, it's all part of the job." 。She had no mood to make small talk with him. After saying that, she wanted to hang up the phone. 。"Teacher Chen, are you in the northwest now Did you go to that small village today" Wu Jian suddenly asked. 。Chen Ning's hand paused, she subconsciously looked outside, thinking Wu Jian had seen her. 。Song Jingye also alertly followed her gaze around, but all around was quiet, nothing at all. 。My wife is from the village next door. 。Where are you now, I'll come find you. 。Wu Jian said very seriously. 。

Just a moment 。Chen Ning hung up the phone, turned around and briefly told Song Jingye about it. Song Jingye nodded, and she then released the phone receiver: "I've sent you the address." 。"

It's coming soon" 。The other party replied and hung up the phone. 。Chen Ling was a bit surprised, how could it be such a coincidence The woman and child she saved at the airport during the evacuation were from the village next door. 。And Wu Jian seemed to be trying to help her. 。If she remembered correctly, Wu Jian was not a selfless person. Back when they were in Xili country, she had wanted him to help take everyone to the construction site in Zag city, but he refused. 。Soon, Wu Jian arrived. Seeing her from afar, he almost ran all the way over, "Teacher Chen, Captain Song" 。He stood before her, scratching his head a little awkwardly. 。The three of them ordered food at the hotel restaurant. Wu Jian said he had to pay for the meal, Chen Ling replied that she didn't mind him treating. 。Don't blame me for being selfish back then, my wife and children are waiting for me back home. I couldn't just leave them. 。"

It's not your fault, the map you drew was very helpful to us" 。"Chen Ling replied," 。"Really That's great." 。Actually, after coming back, my wife has been thinking about how to repay you. She says that without you protecting them at the airport, she and our children would definitely be dead. 。But since she couldn't get in touch with you, she spent every day online looking for all kinds of information and videos about you. 。"

(A modification in the previous chapter was made, that Xiaoning's abduction before was a confirmed and well-known list. Thank you to everyone for reminding me)" 。）are about you, who cares about you.” Han Zhaoyi made a funny face at the camera.Zhao Tingxing's heart crease softened a little, he had been glaring angrily just a moment ago, but now his expression wa...
