540. Interrogating Wang Ning, Xiaoya was frightened
The man's footprints were two cents deep in the soil. Such deep footprints made Huo Xiaoran's eyes filled with confusion. He suddenly thought of something and turned back to look at the footprints where he came from. It was obvious that his footprints were very shallow. p>
Huo Xiaoran's face instantly darkened. He concluded that this man must have been overloaded to leave such deep footprints. And what was this man carrying? All Huo Xiaoran could think of was a can of gasoline.
He felt a huge sense of loss in his heart. He thought this road was Qiao An's escape route. But now it seems that it should be the arsonist's crime route more appropriately.
He walked forward along the footprints. After walking a long distance, the footprints disappeared.
Huo Xiaoran could only wander around, looking for detailed clues and carefully analyzing the escape route of the arsonist. This is not the way down the mountain. There is a steep path covered with thorns on one side. On the left side of the path is a steep stone wall, and on the right is a
A thrilling path. Where the path leads, he doesn’t know.
The other exit is to follow the hillside and take a shortcut down the mountain in the dense forest without roads.
Huo Xiaoran hesitated for a while, and finally decided to explore both roads. He took the shortcut down the mountain first, and when he went down the hillside, he realized that he had come to the road leading to the entrance of the village.
After walking for a while, he was surprised to find the missing footprints.
There were signs that the footprints had been deliberately destroyed, but because Huo Xiaoran had seen the complete footprints, he could see the whole thing at a glance. He followed the footprints... to the door of Chen Jing's house.
Chen Jing's husband, Wang Ning, was sitting in the courtyard, shaking a cattail leaf fan and drinking a small drink.
The door of the house was wide open, and when Huo Xiaoran walked in gloomily, Wang Ning was startled when he saw him. The wine bowl in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.
"Xingchen, you...why are you here?"
Huo Xiaoran looked at him sinisterly, as if he wanted to eat someone.
After being frightened, Wang Ning quickly regained his composure. He picked up the wine bowl with a smile and complained to Xingchen: "Xingchen, why didn't you say anything when you came in? I was so scared that I broke into a cold sweat."
"What, you did something wrong? Are you afraid?" Xingchen's voice was as cold as the snowflakes in the cold winter.
Wang Ning's expression was very unnatural, and his intuition told him that Xingchen might have noticed something. However, the ignorant Wang Ning thought that what he had done was perfect, and as long as he refused to admit his fault, Xingchen would be unable to do anything to him.
He said to Huo Xiaoran very unhappily: "Xingchen, you came to my house for no reason and acted wild? What can I do to harm you? Don't talk nonsense without proof?"
He originally wanted to say something unpleasant, but when he saw Xingchen approaching him step by step, with his fists clenched tightly and his eyes even more terrifying, he shut up.
Huo Xiaoran walked up to him, pinched his collar and said fiercely: "Follow me."
Then he dragged Wang Ning out like a dead dog.
Wang Ning did not expect that Huo Xiaoran was so strong, nor did he expect that when Huo Xiaoran restrained him, he could not move at all. He could only be at his mercy.
"Xingchen, let me go. Where are you taking me?" Wang Ning's howl quickly attracted crowds of villagers.
The Wang family members ran out and followed Huo Xiao then, cursing. "Xingchen, what are you going to do? Let Wang Ning go now? If you hurt Wang Ning, we will never let you go."
Most of the villagers like Xingchen, who is kind-hearted. They persuade Xingchen with kind words: "Xingchen, don't do stupid things. The Wang family is the most numerous in this village. Be careful of the Wang family uniting to deal with you."
There was a look of dismay in the eyes of the Wang family. "Xingchen, our Wang family is not that easy to offend."
Huo Xiaoran glanced at Wang Ning's father coldly and said coldly: "Wang Ning is suspected of arson, who dares to cover him? Who dares?"
He roared angrily, immediately scaring everyone in the Wang family into silence.
Wang Ning was sweating profusely, and he cursed secretly, how did Xingchen know that he was the one who set the fire? Could it be that Xing Xiaoya told him.
But when his eyes locked on Xing Xiaoya in the crowd, and saw Xing Xiaoya's frightened pale face, Wang Ning knew that she was not the one who betrayed him.
Huo Xiaoran picked up Wang Ning, as if twisting a chicken, and pulled him to the first footprint. "Wang Ning, are these your footprints?"
Wang Ning stared at the incomplete footprints and argued: "Xingchen, you just relied on this vague half-footprint to conclude that I set the fire. Are you too outrageous?"
Huo Xiaoran slapped Wang Ning and his body flew out. Huo Xiaoran grabbed the back of his neck again: "Don't greet my mother."
Wang Ning was beaten so hard that he wanted to curse, but when he saw that Huo Xiaoran was completely different from usual, he looked too violent now, not like a weak person who could be bullied, so he shut up angrily. But there are some righteous villagers, and they said to Huo Xiaoran: "Xingchen, this footprint belongs to Wang Ning, but this is near his home, isn't it normal for him to leave footprints here? You use this footprint to identify him
It’s an arsonist, he’s too arbitrary.”
Huo Xiaoran escorted Wang Ning to the ruins of the fire. He walked along the route where Wang Ning committed the crime. The deep and shallow footprints and the imprints on the soles of his feet were almost exactly the same as the imprints Wang Ning left at this moment.
The villagers suddenly came to their senses.
"Wang Ning, you set the fire? Right?" Dahai stood up to attack Wang Ning.
Wang Ning refused to give up until he reached the Yellow River, and argued: "Just based on the footprints, you can conclude that I set the fire. This is a waste of human life."
Huo Xiaoran kicked him in the thigh, "Kneel down and confess to my family."
Wang Ning knelt on the thorns, grimacing in pain.
Huo Xiaoran pinched his chin so hard that the pain caused Wang Ning's entire face to become deformed.
Just seeing his painful expression, bystanders were worried that Huo Xiaoran had crushed his mandible.
"Tell me, who is your alliance?" Huo Xiaoran asked interrogatively.
Xing Xiaoya, who was caught in the crowd, heard Huo Xiaoran interrogating Wang Ning, and was so frightened that her legs began to tremble.
She was too scared.
She didn't expect Xingchen to lose Qiao An and become as scary as a beast.
She didn't want to think too much and quickly ran away while no one was paying attention.
"Xing Xiaoya, why are you running?" Xingchen's voice suddenly sounded behind Xing Xiaoya.
Xing Xiaoya stamped her feet and slowly turned around, her face ashen as death.
"Brother Xingchen, I went home to make lunch." Xing Xiaoya said.
"What's the hurry? Wang Ning, won't it be too late for you to leave after I finish the review?" he said darkly.
Xing Xiaoya heard the hidden meaning and was so frightened that she almost lost control of her urine.
