Chapter 526 Li Family

Shen Mo and Du Lai rushed back to Li Zheng's home and found Bai Youwei and Fu Miaoxue already waiting at the door.

Fu Miaoxue looked at Bai Youwei with strange eyes throughout the whole process, as if she was looking at something rare.

Bai Youwei turned a deaf ear to Fu Miaoxue's appraisal. She only looked at Shen Mo and Du Lai up and down, and asked curiously: "Why didn't you change clothes?"

I've been gone for so long and haven't changed a single piece of clothing. Could it be that I was delayed by something?

Shen Mo said calmly: "We found a place and will take you there in a moment. Let's talk about your side first. Have you found anything?"

"Yes." Bai Youwei nodded slightly, "During the condolence ceremony, Li Zheng's head fell out of the coffin, and his wife Ma suddenly laughed like crazy. Some guests said that Li had laughed like this when something happened to her before, so We plan to visit Li’s house.”

"That's a coincidence." Shen Mo smiled and glanced at Du Lai, "The place we found was the Li family, where the Li family lived before."

Bai Youwei immediately asked: "Where does Mr. Li live?"

Du Lai's lips curled into a sneer: "East of the village, next to the old willow tree."

…

The sky was hazy, as if it might rain at any time.

The four people hurried to the east side of the village.

On the way, Bai Youwei and Fu Miaoxue also told Shen Mo and Du Lai about the axe.

Du Lai said suspiciously: "It seems that the person who killed Li Zheng should be a member of his family. The game will not provide useless clues. Could it be that the murderer on both sides is the same? The woman who carried the body was delayed because she had an grievance." Will you bury your husband later?"

"People in ancient times did say they would never rest in peace," Shen Mo said thoughtfully. "Li's husband was beheaded like Ma's husband. It is possible that the murderer on both sides is the same. If we follow the line of redress of injustice, If so, only by finding the murderer can Mr. Li be allowed to bury her husband’s remains.”

"What if we don't follow the line of reasoning?" Fu Miaoxue asked curiously.

Bai Youwei said: "When a person dies, he cannot rest in peace. There are only two reasons - he has unavenged revenge, or he has unfulfilled wishes."

Does the woman who transported the body have a grudge that she has yet to avenge? Or do you still have unfulfilled wishes?

The village is not big. During the conversation, the four of them unknowingly arrived at the east end of the village, where there was an earthen house.

Compared with the Li Zheng family's large blue brick house with tiles, the Li family looks very shabby.

——There is only one brick house, and the kitchen is a simple straw shed in the yard. The yard wall is even simpler, with branches and wheat straw mixed with yellow mud built up to half a person's height. A row of bamboo sticks is inserted on the top. Pull it out, and the dirt will fall down.

The courtyard door was locked and already rusty. Shen Mo pulled the lock off the wooden door without much effort.

There is a depression inside...

After the death of Li Mantou and Mrs. Li, no one lived here again.

The yellow dust in the yard was flying in the wind, the grass on the roof was rustling, and the door of the house creaked open with a slight push...

Two funerals have been held here in succession, and there are still traces of the mourning hall being arranged in the room, including a few dust-covered mourning papers, a few burned-out white candles, and a wooden sign placed in the middle of the room.

The name is written on the wooden plaque: the tablet of the late husband Li Qianggui.

Li Qianggui must be the famous name of Li Mengtou.

"Isn't Mrs. Li dead too? Why is there only one tablet in the house?" Fu Miaoxue poked at the wooden tablet curiously.

Du Lai pulled her hand back and said, "After Li's death, there will be no one left in the family, so no one will set up a memorial tablet for her."

Sometimes there are only a few people in the family, and the funeral requires the help of neighbors, but the memorial tablet must be erected by a relative of the family.

Bai Youwei looked at the whole room and murmured: "Why don't they have any children..."

"Otherwise, ask the neighbors." Shen Mo said.

As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.

I have memorized ancient texts and solved the Luban Lock, so this time... what will it be?

I've been writing and posting in the past two days. When Tuesday starts, the update time will be fixed, which will still be 11-12 o'clock every night!
