Chapter 43: Wisdom with Ideas

The collective silence activities of the official newspaper and the interviewees did not last long.

A considerable number of people left the newspaper to follow up and report the incident at the urging of the editor. You should know that this is the biggest incident in Qingding City in recent years. As a newspaper, of course, you cannot let go of such hot news.

"How could there be such a hateful thief? I told me to catch him as soon as possible and then directly send him to the execution ground to behead him for public display!"

Zhou Ze held a newspaper from the Qingding Daily in his hand and squeezed back from the dispersed crowd. He sat on the chair and was angry. Suddenly he noticed that Lu Jiu was silent when he lowered his eyes. He thought he was observing silence because of Chen Lide's death, so he got up and patted his shoulder and said in a warm voice.

"Old Lu, I feel sorry for you. I think the murderer will be brought to justice soon so that Mr. Chen can rest in peace in the nine springs."

"Um......"

Lu Jiu glanced at Zhou Ze in a little surprised, and then he could only cooperate with him and showed a lamenting expression.

I took the newspaper in Zhou Ze's hand, but when I saw the content, my eyes were condensed.

Lu Jiu was actually recalling the person who quarreled with officers and soldiers when he met outside Chen Lide's house last night.

At that time, Lu Jiu just wanted to finish the work quickly and didn't care much. However, when he saw the description of Chen Gong's life in the newspaper, he suddenly realized an important information that he ignored.

The Chen family and his neighbor, the family named Tang, are family friends from the family, and this relationship is not casual. It must be a close relationship between the two families with more than two generations of helping each other.

This means that the neighbor he met last night was probably also from Shexiang Town.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiu's eyes lit up immediately.

If this family had lived in Shexiang Town back then, would they have known the inside story?

If this family can prove that Shexiang Town has something to do with this case, it will not only understand what the prison was pursuing back then, but it will undoubtedly be a huge help to Jingyesi solve the case. Maybe this can be exchanged for Hu Sanniang for the Miao Dan!

However, when Lu Jiu told Zhou Ze about his discovery and wanted to come to the door for an interview under the name of Yunling Newspaper, the latter was shocked at first, and then suddenly fell silent.

Noting Zhou Ze's emotional changes, Lu Jiu suddenly realized that he had thought about this matter too simply.

"Lao Lu, Shexiang Town happened three years ago."

Although he seems frivolous on weekdays, Zhou Ze is very cautious in this kind of thing.

"I know you may be anxious to do something because something happened to Mr. Chen's family, but I still have to remind you that the information we have in our hands is not only not enough to win them trust, but will cause us a lot of trouble."

As a person who doesn't know the inside story, Zhou Ze's thoughts are undoubtedly normal.

If Lu Jiu had never seen Chen Lide's family die, they would not have linked their deaths with the massacre in Shexiang Town three years ago.

It is precisely because of this that the Tang family rashly came to the Tang family based on guessing alone, which is likely to be not a frank answer, but full of suspicion.

"I just suddenly thought of this possibility... Now is indeed not a good time."

Lu Jiu couldn't reveal what he saw and heard last night. In fact, even Chen Lide's father had a connection with She Xiang Town. Lu Jiu used the excuse of accidentally knowing Chen Lide's class in the past.

"I think there is only one family friend of Chen, another respected old man who taught at the Qing Dingcheng Higher Public School, Tang Jingyi, when I was studying in the past, he taught the Confucianism... Yes, it was indeed Mr. Tang."

Just when Lu Jiu thought that the way of visiting newspapers was not feasible and perhaps he had to find a way to investigate privately, Zhou Ze seemed to have thought of something, picked up the newspaper again, frowned and looked carefully, and soon reached out and patted Lu Jiu's arm.

"Old Lu, I thought of a compromise method. It is not suitable for us to directly look for Mr. Tang, but we can drag a suitable person to hand him the call,"

"Why, who should I look for?"

Lu Jiu stood up and asked.

"You must know that person... Mr. Tang Luozhi, the daughter of Mr. Tang, I told you before that I am classmates."

Zhou Ze sorted out the information on the desktop and said,

"We went over to tell her about this in the name of her classmates. Even if it was wrong, it could be said that it was a concern and it was a mess. No one could blame anything."

When talking about Tang Luozhi, the memories of the predecessor immediately rolled up.

‘Tang Luozhi, the fifth female scholar in the history of Dingcheng in Qing Dynasty, was in the same class as Zhou Ze.’

At the same time, the appearance of the woman she saw outside Chen Lide's house last night also appeared in Lu Jiu's mind.

Could it be her?

"Do you think Tang Luozhi's current situation...will come out to see us?"

Turning around to pack up the things on the table, Lu Jiu picked up his bag and suddenly asked hesitantly.

My friend suddenly passed away. Is a young girl of the same age really suitable for communication in her current state?

Zhou Ze thought Lu Jiu just wanted to inform the other party of the clues they found. In fact, what the latter really wanted was to further understand what happened in Shexiang Town back then through them. Just passing the message, he just needed to inform Hu Sanniang about this matter.

"I don't know anyone else, but Tang Luozhi is different. You will know when you see her."

Zhou Ze seemed to have confidence in Tang Luozhi and answered decisively.

"Okay, let's see someone first."

Lu Jiu had to admit that it was indeed a good choice to look for Tang Luozhi first to test his words than to go directly to find Old Tang and his wife.

No matter what, since this matter involves the heart-cutting ghost and the Miao Pill, if there is a chance to go further, Lu Jiu does not want to miss it.

......

After more than half an hour, the two finally arrived on the street where Chen and Tang families were located.

However, how to meet Tang Luozhi has become a big problem.

It’s not because the Tang family did not allow them to see Tang Luozhi, but because the two of them couldn’t get close to the Tang family!

Standing at the interface of Xiuqifang, Lu Jiu looked at the street that was originally enough to accommodate three cars and had time to go out for passers-by to walk, but now it was surrounded by a mess.

Cars and carriages are crowded together. As the crowd gathers, even turning becomes a luxury. The neighing of horses, the sound of the car flutes and the buzzing voices fill every part of Xiuqifangkou street.

Even though he had speculation before coming, Lu Jiu couldn't help but take a breath when he saw this scene.

Chen Lide's identity as a juren and his special status in Qingding City destined his circle of friends to be either rich or noble. Now that he has passed away suddenly, these people naturally have to come over to express their opinions.

At the same time, because he is the vice president of Qingdingcheng Higher Education Public School, there are at least hundreds of students who have taught them.

In addition, the people who have admired me in the past when I heard of Mr. Chen's name...

Even as soon as the Qing Dingcheng Daily reported the death of Mr. Chen, the county government recruited nearly half of the officers and soldiers in the entire Qing Dingcheng to maintain order on the scene, the final result was to isolate the area in front of Chen and Tang families.

"So many people and officers and soldiers, how should we get over?"

When he stopped and climbed up the stone pier on the side of the road, Zhou Ze pressed Lu Jiu's head with one hand as support and set up a pergola in front of his eyebrows with the other hand.

"Didn't you say that Tang Luozhi is your classmate? Since she is an old classmate, can't she find someone to inform her?"

Lu Jiu put his arms around and silently endured Zhou Ze's ravages on his hair, thinking about whether he could throw the person beside him out of a high position and paraplegia if he took a step back.

"Tsk, if you were a person who finished the exam again, would you be very familiar with a 'master' who had almost never fallen out of the top three in the school?"

Telling about his glorious past, Zhou Ze jumped off the stone pier and said with a look of course.
