Su Zhan had been staring closely at her expression, how could he not have seen her panic at this moment.
It seems that I found the right person this time.
Although this old woman's soul was filthy, it was not stained with blood, which meant that this person usually had bad deeds but had not harmed anyone.
Therefore, she did not do this to the old beggar.
However, she must know who the murderer is.
Su Zhan smiled slightly, but held the door firmly against the door with his hand, and stepped in calmly.
As Su Zhan clicked and closed the door behind him, the old woman looked at the sword in her hand, her expression becoming more and more panicked, "You, what do you want to do? It is against the law to kill someone."
Su Zhan said nothing, just stared at the old woman quietly.
In another world, murder would indeed be illegal.
But there is a saying that chivalrous people use force to break the ban. What's more, in this world, the court's control over the world is really weak, and the martial arts trend is getting stronger day by day.
Therefore, this is why after a so-called chivalrous person kills someone, as long as he leaves a message of "eliminating the violence and keeping the peace", basically no one will bother him.
That person could even win a good reputation in the world and be called such-and-such a gentleman and such-and-such a knight.
But in fact, is such a move really just?
Su Zhan, who has experienced several worlds, disagrees. Maybe some people really deserve their deaths, but there are more people who lose their lives just because of the whims of chivalrous people.
For example, a knight saw a strong man pushing an old man. The old man had tears in his eyes, and then the man turned around and ran away.
Out of anger, the knight drew his sword and killed the man, then walked away.
How could a knight who thought he had done a good deed know that the man just saw that the old man was alone and it was the harvest season, so he enthusiastically helped the old man harvest the wheat in the field.
The old man was so moved that he wanted to invite the man to his house for a meal to express his gratitude. However, the man felt that the old man was single and did not have much savings, so he did not want the man to worry about it. After he refused, the above scene of pushing and shoving occurred.
The knight thought he had done a good deed, but in fact he killed a warm-hearted and kind-hearted man.
Such things are common in this world where martial arts is prevalent. The old woman has lived for decades and has naturally seen many such incidents.
So she knew very well that if she was chopped down by a martial artist, the martial artist would just find a place to hide for a while, and when the news passed, she would be a good man again.
This was still found out. If he had not been found out, it is very likely that he would still be living his own cool life.
Su Zhan is not bloodthirsty, but this does not mean that she cannot use force to coerce people to get the information she wants to know.
She pulled out the sword with a clang, and the blade of the sword glowed with cold light. The old woman's legs were so frightened that she trembled and told everything she knew.
It was a dark night, and the old woman had just returned from drinking her grandson's full moon wine at her married daughter's home.
She was a widower, with a son and a daughter. The son was away and away from home. The daughter married a family in the east of the city and gave birth to a fat boy. She drank the full moon wine and her son-in-law was supposed to send her back.
However, when she thought about being in the same city and only a few steps away, she didn't let anyone see her off.
But who knew that when she was about to reach the door of her home, she suddenly heard a cry of exclamation. She was so frightened that her drunken spirit disappeared. The old woman secretly glanced at the place where the exclamation came from.
I saw an old beggar lying on the ground, holding his chest in pain and crawling forward. In front of him was a big man holding a knife and a scar on his forehead, cursing, "What kind of world is this? Even an old beggar has money, I am dignified."
A generation of heroes actually have no money to buy wine."
"Haha, this kind of beggar is the most annoying. He obviously has hands and feet, but he still relies on begging to gain sympathy from others and defraud money. Today, I will confiscate all your money. In order to teach you to be a good boy, you should do something down-to-earth.
Seriously, don’t think about getting something for nothing all day long.”
After saying that, he left without hesitation.
In the cold wind, the old beggar looked sad and murmured in pain.
"Don't... go, give me the money... back. That's the money for my granddaughter's... medical treatment."
"The old beggar may have been seriously ill and died soon." The old woman was trembling, but when she said the last words, she couldn't hide the look of sympathy on her face.
She usually likes to take advantage of petty gains, and turns into a shrew when she doesn't get her way. Every neighbor has never had a quarrel with her, saying that she is foul-mouthed and has a bad temper, and they don't want to interact with her.
But to be honest, she was a widow who had to raise two children. If she had been gentle and gentle, she would have been bullied to death.
She usually has some moral issues, she admits this, but if a living person dies in front of her, it would be a lie to say that there is no impact at all.
In order not to be implicated, the old woman said nothing next, but she was sick for several days.
Those martial arts people are not easy to mess with. If the scarred man knew that he had betrayed him, his whole family might be implicated.
She thought this matter would always be buried in her heart, but she didn't expect that a few years later, a martial arts person would come to her again.
After learning the whole story, Su Zhan left.
Seeing her back disappear, the old woman was completely relieved, patted her chest, and quickly ran forward and closed the door.
The girl just now must be the granddaughter that the old beggar was talking about.
Besides my granddaughter, who else would be pursuing this matter after so many years?
Su Zhan walked aimlessly on the street, and the person who took the old beggar's money was initially determined to be a member of the martial arts world.
He uses a knife as a weapon, has a scar on his forehead, and is a strong man.
Together, these three characteristics should be able to identify the suspect.
The original owner was killed for no reason, and the old beggar died on the street. These two incidents combined made Su Zhan not have a good impression of the so-called martial arts people in this world.
Is this the chivalry of this world?
Su Zhan is not a very kind person. The reason why she helped the original owner fulfill his wish was just a transaction of money and goods, but the transaction was beyond ordinary people's imagination.
At least, that's how it seemed to her.
The old beggar did not die directly in the hands of that person, but robbing an old and terminally ill beggar of his money is an indisputable fact.
The original owner did not directly ask her to take revenge, but Su Zhan felt that such a person who did evil things in the name of a knight was not worthy of being called a knight at all.
He obviously has superior power, but he uses force to kill ordinary people at will.
Su Zhan shook his head. She was just here to fulfill the original owner's wish, not to be a savior. She didn't care what she did.
