Hearing the word "them", Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that the murderer was not the same person?
However, this idea only flashed through Zhang Fan's mind. Zhang Fan did not ask the woman this question. In Zhang Fan's opinion, now is not the time to discuss this matter.
"Where is your body?" Zhang Fan asked.
The woman shook her head, and then continued: "It's in their hands."
Zhang Fan's pupils shrank, it was "them" again!
"You said you would die if you told me the part of the information you knew. If you told me, how would they know it was you who told me?" Zhang Fan asked.
"Besides them, we are the only ones who know part of the information. After I tell you, you will definitely investigate. When you investigate to a certain extent, they will naturally notice it." The woman replied.
"Who do you mean by 'we'?" Zhang Fan continued to ask.
"There are three notorious spirits in the entire county. One of them is me, and the other two are in the north of the city. By the way, the former head of Wangjiagang Village who was standing here just now has all three of us because of the disappearance case.
I've looked for it," the woman replied.
"The other party said that once the matter is exposed, none of the three of us will be spared." The woman continued.
"Master, I beg you, please don't force me to say that I don't want to die yet. I have never done anything harmful to nature or murder. Please spare my life!" the woman begged again.
"After I entered the door and before Wang Limin and I left, we had a game. In this game, you lost.
But the purpose of me continuing to ask is not to force you to tell me, but to test you." Zhang Fan said.
"Test me?" A trace of doubt appeared on the woman's face, "What are you testing me for?"
"To test whether you really have the difficulties you mentioned." Zhang Fan replied.
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, a look of surprise appeared on the woman's face. Then, the woman said frankly: "That's right. It's our first meeting. It's impossible for you to believe whatever I say."
"Through the series of observations I just made about you, I found that you did not lie to me." Zhang Fan said. During the conversation between Zhang Fan and the woman, Zhang Fan had been observing the woman's every move. Just relying on his acting skills, there is no real knife.
With it on her neck, a woman can't act out the frightened look she just had.
"There is no grudge between the two of us. I don't want to kill you, nor do I want you to be killed. I just want to eliminate the crisis in Wangjiagang Village." Zhang Fan continued.
"Master, I understand your feelings. I don't want to see people in Wangjiagang Village disappear and die. However, this matter is not simple." The woman sighed slightly.
Then, the woman looked at Zhang Fan with aggrieved face and asked: "Now that you have finished testing, are you going to force me next?"
"I'm testing you just so I don't force you." Zhang Fan said seriously.
"What do you mean?" the woman asked confused.
"I don't want to resolve this matter at the expense of your lives." Zhang Fan replied.
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, the woman's eyes lit up slightly, she looked at Zhang Fan and confirmed: "Really? Master?"
"Really!" Zhang Fan said seriously
Zhang Fan nodded. If Zhang Fan really sacrificed these three innocent spirits, even if he finally found out the real culprit and brought him to justice, he would feel uneasy.
Therefore, Zhang Fan is not prepared to do this.
"That's great!" A touch of excitement appeared on the woman's face, and then she said gratefully, "Thank you, master, thank you, master!"
"Although I will not solve this matter at the expense of you, you must cooperate with me." Zhang Fan said.
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, the woman was startled for a moment, and then asked doubtfully: "Cooperate with you? How can I cooperate with you?"
"Have you ever contacted the current village chief of Wangjiagang Village?" Zhang Fan did not answer the woman's words, but asked.
"Is it the one named Wang Dongliang?" the woman answered.
"Yes, that's him." Zhang Fan replied.
"I had contact with him once three years ago," the woman said.
"What's your impression of him? Have you heard anything about him?" Zhang Fan continued to ask.
"I have a good impression of him. He is well-educated, gentle, and somewhat like a Confucian businessman.
I also heard about him from others. I heard that he later moved to Wangjiagang Village and was not a native of Wangjiagang Village. He came to me three years ago and asked me to help with the case.
I still don’t quite understand it,” the woman said.
"What did he ask you to help with?" Zhang Fan asked.
"He wanted to move his father's ancestral grave from his hometown to Wangjiagang Village. He asked me to help his father find a cemetery with good feng shui. He is a foreigner. People must pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots and burying them in their hometown. Why move the grave to another place?
"The woman said while shaking her head in confusion.
Hearing the woman's words, Zhang Fan and Li Yawen frowned slightly at the same time, and then they looked at each other. This was indeed a strange phenomenon.
"Then did you choose for him?" Zhang Fan asked.
"Of course I helped him choose. I was originally in the business of taking people's money and doing things for them." The woman replied, "But after I helped him choose and he gave me the money, I didn't do it again.
Never asked."
"That is to say, you have not seen whether he actually moved his father's grave here, let alone visited his father's grave?" Zhang Fan continued.
"Yes." The woman nodded.
Zhang Fan touched his nose thoughtfully and walked around the room.
"Master, why are you asking me about him?" the woman asked with some confusion.
Zhang Fan glanced at the woman, and just when he was about to answer her words, Li Yawen's cell phone rang.
Li Yawen glanced at the phone.
"Who called?" Zhang Fan asked.
"The captain of the city bureau who handed over the case to me." Li Yawen said.
"Then take it and see what's going on. We might find some new clues." Zhang Fan said.
Li Yawen nodded, then picked up the phone and said: "Hello, Captain Zhou."
"Captain Li, where are you now?" A clear male voice came from the other end of the microphone.
"I'm in Fenggu County, what's wrong?" Li Yawen replied.
"Captain Li, something happened." Captain Zhou on the other side of the phone said solemnly, "There was a murder in Wangjiagang Village. The police call just came to the city bureau. The case has been handed over to you. Come over and take a look.
."
Hearing this, Zhang Fan and Li Yawen frowned at the same time.
"Okay, I understand, I'll be there right away." Li Yawen said.
