Half an hour later, a village outside Yangqiu County.
In the end, Li Mu failed to stop Zhang Shan and had no choice but to ask him to follow him.
Zhang Shan stood at the entrance of the village, looked at Li Mu, and said in surprise: "This is not your jurisdiction. What case are you here to investigate?"
Li Mu did not answer immediately, looking at a dilapidated house at the entrance of the village.
Lin Wan lived here before her death. More than ten years ago, the Lin family and the Zhao family were both local wealthy families, and their engagement was also made at that time.
Then the Lin family's business failed and gradually declined, but the Zhao family's business flourished, and the family business expanded more than ten times. It was considered a wealthy family in the entire Yangqiu County.
Zhang Shan stood next to Li Mu, still muttering: "It's strange. You said you wanted to investigate the case, but you didn't wear public uniforms, and you didn't let me wear them. You also said that this case was very dangerous. What's so dangerous here..."
Li Mu didn't explain much to Zhang Shan, he just said: "Don't say anything, don't ask anything, just stay with me..."
"Okay, okay, you saved me today, you have the final say..." Zhang Shan shrugged and stopped talking.
Li Mu walked to the dilapidated house. The yard was surrounded by a fence. Weeds had grown in the yard. The gate was also locked. It was obvious that no one had been there for a long time.
"Squeak..."
Just when Li Mu was about to find someone to ask, the door of the next door suddenly opened. An old man walked into the yard and saw two strangers standing outside. He asked doubtfully: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Li Mu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old man, I am Lin Wan's distant cousin. Does Lin Wan's cousin live here?"
"You are Wanwan's relative..." The old man's face softened a lot when he heard this, but he sighed again and said: "Wanwan disappeared two months ago, and the Zhao family also came looking for her, and now
She has not been found, and no one knows where she went..."
Li Mu looked surprised and asked, "My cousin is missing?"
The old man said regretfully: "If Wanwan was still here, she would marry into the Zhao family soon. If she married into the Zhao family, she would be blessed for the rest of her life. It's a pity, it's a pity. I don't know where she is now or whether she is still alive.
alive..."
Li Mu didn't need to ask any more, he already knew what he wanted to know.
The Lin family and the Zhao family did have a marriage contract. So far, what he had learned from the old man's mouth was consistent with what Lin Wan said.
In other words, it is most likely true that Zhao Yong killed his fiancée in order to climb the big tree called Jun Cheng.
Li Mu did not stay here long, bid farewell to the old man, and left here.
The most difficult thing right now is how to give Lin Wan justice.
Naturally, it would not work for her to go to the Yamen as a ghost to redress her grievances. Regardless of whether the Yamen would dare to take the case, even if it were accepted and reported to the higher authorities, there would be a high probability that it would be suppressed.
As long as the county magistrate is willing to protect the Zhao family, no one in Beijun can touch the Zhao family.
At the moment, Li Mu has not thought of a suitable solution.
Li Mu just walked in thought, Zhang Shan followed him, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Li Mu, when did you have a cousin? How come you haven't heard of it before?"
Li Mu said casually: "I just recognized..."
Zhang Shan suddenly became interested: "Do you look beautiful?"
"good……"
"Where's the boss?"
"No comparison."
"That's almost enough. Although the boss is beautiful, he only wants to practice cultivation and is not the same person as you. You can't always think about the boss and end up as sad as Li Si..."
While the two were chatting without a word, a short man stood in front of Lin Wan's old residence in Linjia Village and asked the old man not far away: "Old man, is Miss Lin Wan at home?"
The old man scratched his head and said, "Why do so many people come to Wanwan today?"
The dwarf man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Has anyone else looked for her?"
The old man nodded and said: "There were two of them just now. They were said to be Wanwan's cousins. They just left..."
A smile appeared on the dwarf's face and he said: "We were originally together, but we accidentally got separated two days ago. Where did they go just now?"
The old man pointed to a road on the left and said: "In this direction, we just walked not long ago. If you catch up now, you should be able to catch up."
"Thank you, old man." The dwarf man smiled at him, turned around and chased in the direction he pointed.
The old man watched his figure disappear suddenly and murmured: "The legs look very short, why can he run so fast..."
…
On the way back to the county seat, Zhang Shan finally couldn't control the doubts in his heart and asked Li Mudao: "What case do you want to investigate?"
Since he could no longer hide it from Zhang Shan, Li Mu simply said: "Lin Wan's disappearance case."
"Why do you suddenly want to investigate this?" Zhang Shan was still puzzled: "This is not your jurisdiction, and if a case occurs, it will not be under your jurisdiction. Moreover, there are many such disappearances every year, and most of them are related to evil spirits.
The boss is not here now, how can we check?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to do with monsters." Li Mu asked, "Do you still remember what the old man said just now?"
"say what?"
"Lin Wan and Zhao Yong are related."
"What happened to the marriage..." Zhang Shan asked blankly, and then seemed to realize something, and said quickly: "Wait, Zhao Yong, which Zhao Yong?"
Li Mudao: "That Zhao Yong you just met."
Zhang Shan said in astonishment: "Isn't he about to marry the Jun Cheng's daughter?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes."
After all, he is a police officer, and he is used to seeing people's hearts. Zhang Shan soon realized something and murmured: "Lin Wan just disappeared, and Zhao Yong married the daughter of the county magistrate. Could it be that Lin Wan's disappearance was caused by the Zhao family?
"
Li Mu nodded and said, "I doubt it too."
Zhang Shan thought for a while, his expression suddenly became solemn, and said: "You don't want to take care of this matter, don't blame me for not reminding you, we are just small policemen, taking care of trivial things, even if it is worthy
These clothes are gone, this case is not something we can handle, let alone us, the county magistrate doesn’t dare to take care of it..."
If he could sit peacefully in the county government office and live his life, Li Mu would not be willing to risk his job or even his life.
It's a pity that justice to Lin Wan is not only related to the obstacles in Li Mu's heart, but also the obstacles in his life.
Lin Wan is the key to his first strength. The emotional power of a resentful spirit is equivalent to Li Mu helping hundreds or thousands of old ladies. Time is life to Li Mu. He cannot waste most of his time helping old ladies.
Cross the road.
The case was extremely dangerous, and Li Mu didn't want to implicate anyone.
He looked at Zhang Shan, shook his head and said, "Go back and don't interfere in this matter again."
Zhang Shan was surprised and said: "Do you really want to take care of it?"
"It must be managed."
Zhang Shan looked at him for a long time and then said slowly: "Sometimes I really doubt that you are still the Li Mu I know. It seems that you have changed a lot since your last death. You were the most daring before.
Xiao, no matter what kind of case I encounter, I will hide whenever I can and I will never take the initiative to provoke these..."
Li Mudao: "It's because I died once that I understood how to live..."
As he finished speaking, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Since you've already died once, why don't you cherish your life and insist on touching things you can't touch?"
