I was killed by domestic violence, and I went crazy with barrage

Chapter 228 Jiang Anning definitely didn’t kill him

Jiao Niang's face darkened slightly: "It's just that I don't know whether Sang Jingwan noticed something or was too cautious, so she finally avoided that road."

Their initial plan failed, so they had no choice but to pretend to be bandits looking for money and then intercept and kill people on the road.

"Find a Zhao Mei as soon as possible."

Wang Shang gave the order in a cold voice, but he felt uneasy in his heart.

Jiao Niang said "hmm": "I have arranged for someone to look for it."

In this matter, it might be better if there was a traitor among them.

Just get rid of the traitor!
But what if it’s not.

"If, I mean if, if Zhou Ran was alive and was..."

Jiao Niang's voice trembled and she was unable to utter the rest of the words.

If Zhou Ran had not had his death faked after his death, but had watched himself being...

Just thinking about it, Jiao Niang couldn't help shivering.

Killing can only be done with a nod of the head.

Even though she killed so many people, she basically killed them with one blow and never used such a cruel method.

Wang Shang naturally thought of this possibility.

As a killer himself, he also has countless lives on his hands. He also feels that killing is not the right thing to do.

If there is no deep hatred, why be so cruel?

"You say, could it be..." Jiao Niang's voice trembled slightly. After a pause, she looked at Wang Shang and said, "Jiang Anning?"

"impossible!"

Wang Shang denied it loudly without even thinking about it.

"How could a weak little girl like her subdue Zhou Ran and make him willingly be buried alive in a landslide and wait for death?"

Jiao Niang pursed her lips slightly and said nothing.

Wang Shang took a deep breath and said, "It's useless to speculate now. Let's wait for the results from Wulan first."

"Find a Zhao Mei as soon as possible."

"And Zhao Hai!"

Jiao Niang couldn't help but ask: "Zhou Ran is already dead, will Zhao Hai be dead too?"

"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead."

"It's impossible for a living person to disappear from the face of the earth."

Wang Shang's eyes were cold and stern: "Anything that has been done will inevitably leave traces."

The girl hummed softly and didn't argue any more.

Neither of them was optimistic anymore.

Jiang'an County is so small that even if Zhao Hai didn't die in a month, he would have probably fled Jiang'an County and disappeared.

The sky is high and the sea is vast. Looking for someone in such a vast sea of ​​people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"The most urgent thing is to find Zhao Mei."

After Wang Shang calmed down, he spoke slowly: "Jiang An Ning is right under our noses now. Besides, she will be going to Beijing soon. Even if Zhao Hai wants to seek revenge, she will not be able to escape our sight."

But Zhaomei’s disappearance is different.

If there was only a traitor among them who wanted to avenge Sang Jingwan, there would be nothing to be afraid of.

But what if it's not one of them...

"I'm just afraid that many things that happened back then have already been known to a fourth person."

Over the years, the palace, Jiang'an Marquis' Mansion and they have been competing and testing each other, maintaining a delicate balance.

Now, some people are imitating what they did back then, trying to do to Sang Jingwan but failing to do so.

Isn't this a form of revenge and warning?

Jiang Anning, who was concentrating on embroidering a picture of strange stories, suddenly felt a heaviness on her back.

It seems like I have been blamed for something I didn't realize.

She stretched her waist and moved her shoulders slightly, having no idea that Zhou Ran's body and head had been discovered by Wang Shang and others.
-
Duan Qingshan is efficient in his work.

But in just two days, he found the right person that Jiang Anning wanted.

Jiang An Ning was preparing the clothes and jewelry she would wear for the banquet at the An Mansion.

Hearing this, he was a little surprised: "You found someone so quickly?"

She raised her eyebrows slightly: "Have you found out the details of the other party?"

"I asked around."

Duan Qingshan said respectfully, "I am from Jiang'an County, but my family was poor a few years ago, so I went out to live with my relatives. In the past two years, I have been traveling around with the ship merchants in Fujian. My life has improved a little, so I thought about returning to my hometown to have a look."

"He is a man of clean record."

Jiang Anning looked up at him, as if he had heard something funny: "Are you innocent?"

She laughed out loud without warning: "Do you still remember who I asked you to find?"

"He's used to doing this kind of thing, and you're telling me he has a clean record?"

Duan Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red and he rubbed his ears in embarrassment: "I..."

cheated!
He was like a child who had done something wrong, rubbing the corner of his clothes with his head down in guilt.

Just when he was about to say that he would find someone else, Jiang Anning suddenly said, "But I am a little curious about the person you are looking for."

"When did you arrange to meet someone?"

"Did you say where it was?"

Duan Qingshan's expression became even more respectful, mixed with uneasy guilt: "I thought you were going to a banquet today, so I didn't rush to make arrangements. I just said that we could meet at noon at the earliest, but if it's slower... it depends on the host's schedule."

Jiang Anning thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it at noon."

"Let's meet the person first."

"If he is really capable of getting things done, then you might as well use him."

"Getting things done sooner will save me from having to worry about it all day."

She smiled and said, "With so much on my mind, nothing I do will make me happy."

"Yes."

Duan Qingshan didn't ask any more questions and stuck to his duty as a servant.
-
A villa in the city.

Wang Shang looked at Wu Lan, whose face was cold and unapproachable, and frowned: "But there is a definite result? Zhou Ran..."

"Based on my many years of experience as a coroner, I have initially inferred that the deceased was hit by a huge rock while still alive, and the huge impact caused the head and neck to be separated."

Wu Lan stated expressionlessly: "This was also the ultimate cause of his death."

"However, even if the boulder hadn't rolled down, given Zhou Ran's condition at the time, he would have suffocated to death in less than half an hour."

Wang Shang frowned: "Why is this?"

"When we found Zhou Ran, his body was crushed under a huge rock, and there were scars, tears, and broken limbs all over his body from being hit by the rocks."

Wu Lan: "But after my actual calculations, if Zhou Ran happened to be standing there and encountered a boulder rolling down by chance, and had no time to dodge, he would have encountered this accident. The distance between the head and the body should not be so far."

"After repeated experiments and simulations to restore the scene, I speculated that the most likely possibility was that Zhou Ran was buried alive in the mud at the time, and the huge rock rolled down and smashed his head off. At the same time, the huge inertia also pulled his whole body out like a green onion pulled out of dry land."

"Then, it was hit by rubble and finally buried, which led to the situation we found at the scene."

Wu Lan said seriously: "But these are just my subjective conjectures based on my past experience. They may not be the original truth."

"Whether or not to adopt my speculation, the commander still needs to make his own judgment."

Listening to the conversation, Wang Shang inexplicably felt like he was punched by cotton and had no way to fight back. Why did he feel that Wulan was being sarcastic to him?
Jiao Niang frowned and said, "So, Zhou Ran was probably murdered?"

"Who would harm him?"

Using such cruel means... "If I'm not mistaken, it should have been raining heavily at the time. Wulan's guess is probably a bit conservative."

"The rain came very quickly, with the force of a downpour, and the soil in the forest was very soft and absorbent. It took less than half an hour for the soil to be so saturated with water that it would instantly squeeze people and make it difficult for them to breathe."

"Not to mention the extreme weather at the time, there is a high probability that a large amount of mud and sand would have rushed into people's mouths and noses, hastening their death."

Jiao Niang frowned even more tightly: "Zhou Ran usually has a good reputation in the village, and he doesn't have any enemies. What kind of hatred could make people retaliate against him in such a cruel way?"

Wang Shang glanced at her and disagreed.

"If someone can be manipulated, provoked and used by you and me... can he be a good person?"

After he finished speaking, Jiao Niang's face suddenly showed embarrassment.

"You make it sound as if we are some despicable rats hiding in the stinking ditch, secretly plotting against others."

Jiao Niang argued stubbornly.

Wang Shang chuckled: "It's good that you still have this self-awareness."

Jiao Niang:......

"What time is it now? You still have the time to argue with me here."

"Okay, okay, even if I am mean and you are filthy, we are just shameless rats. Then tell me, who would use such an extremely cruel method to retaliate against Zhou Ran?"

Jiao Niang's face was cold: "Such a cruel method, it's not an exaggeration to say it's torture, right?"

Before Wang Shang could even say the answer in his mind, Jiao Niang snorted and rejected it: "Don't tell me that Jiang Anning did it."

"Why couldn't Jiang Anning have done it?"

Wang Shang asked with a smile: "Among those who could have made an enemy of Zhou Ran, Jiang Anning is the most suspicious, right?"

"How come when it comes to you, you reject this first suspect instead?"

Wang Shang was genuinely curious.

Jiao Niang frowned: "She is a delicate little girl, powerless, and naive and stupid in the past. How could she think of such a rigorous and careful method of killing people?"

"It's no exaggeration to say that this method of killing can be considered flawless, right?"

"If we meet a coroner from an ordinary government office, I'm afraid they will just conclude that this was an accident, right?"

Isn't this exactly what they originally wanted to do to Jiang An Ning?

Create an accident and let a person die naturally in it.

Jiao Niang was silent for a long time, and finally had to face the reality and said: "If, if all this is really done by Jiang An Ning, then is it really a good thing for us to let her go to Beijing?"

Wang Shang didn't know.

He couldn't even understand how that delicate and soft little girl could do such a cruel thing.

"Haven't you found any trace of Zhao Mei and Zhao Hai yet?"

Wang Shang asked evasively.

"Have you searched carefully where Zhou Ran's head was found?"

Jiao Niang hummed softly and cooperated with the escape: "We arranged for people to search twice within a distance of ten miles from east to west, inch by inch, and dig three feet into the ground."

"Except for an abandoned old wooden house, no other suspicious traces were found."

Wang Shang frowned: "Old wooden house?"

"Ah."

Jiao Niang: "It should be a wooden house that has been abandoned for a long time. The wood scattered around is very dry and weathered."

"But the strange thing is that the wood doesn't look like it's worm-eaten."

"But it was weathered and crumbled into powder with just a slight pinch."

“I think this situation is a bit weird.”

Wang Shang couldn't help but frown as he listened: "It does seem a little unusual."

Just when the two of them were focusing on the abandoned old wooden house, Wu Lan, who had been silent and frowning, suddenly spoke up: "Jiang Anning was able to react quickly and pierce Sheng Yuewen's neck... With that angle and strength, if she had used a little more force, she could have broken Sheng Yuewen's head off in this irregular way."

Wang Shang and Jiao Niang looked at her at the same time.

Wu Lan was not afraid at all: "Is there a possibility? From the beginning to the end, Jiang Anning has always been that Jiang Anning. It's just that you guys wishfully thought that she was a delicate little girl, weak and helpless... These are the stereotypes you have given her."

"But in fact, I have carefully observed and analyzed it."

"When Jiang Anning was alone at home slaughtering chickens and geese, his techniques were sophisticated and decisive."

"He's a real good worker."

"She's not at all like the delicate and soft girl you guys described as someone who can't stand any hardship."

Wang Shang was silent.

The beautiful lady pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing this, Wulan shrugged indifferently, obviously not intending to continue speaking.

"Killing chickens and geese is not the same as killing people."

Wang Shang didn't know whether he was trying to persuade himself or explain to Wulan, trying to convince her: "Many people can kill chickens and geese, but as for killing people, no normal person would not be afraid."

"But look at Jiang Anning these days. Has he shown any signs of fear? Or terror? Or as if he had done something wrong?"

Wang Shang clenched his fists slightly, as if he wanted to convince himself more.

Jiao Niang looked at him, silent for the first time in her life.

In fact, she also didn't hope that the murderer of Zhou Ran was Jiang Anning.

otherwise……

Jiao Niang shook her head to get rid of all the thoughts in her mind and dared not think any further.

If escape works, let her escape for now.

When the sky falls, there will always be tall people to hold it up.

She glanced at Wang Shang.

Even if the higher-ups want to blame, Wang Shang should be the first to bear the brunt of the blame.

She was just following orders.

Wulan shrugged, obviously not wanting to argue with anyone, and left in a nonchalant manner.

Jiao Niang looked at the back of the man, hesitated for a moment, looked at Wang Shang, and said softly: "I'm afraid we have to look for Zhao Mei and Zhao Hai in other places."

"Jiang Anhou Mansion will send someone to pick up Jiang Anning and bring her to the capital soon."

"I'll go and keep an eye on my men, to prevent them from being clumsy and not doing things properly, which would arouse suspicion and ruin our business."

Having said that, he left without looking back.

Wang Shang said nothing.

Staring at the ground in silence.

The surroundings were empty and eerily quiet.

After the people left for a long time, he murmured to himself: "Little girl, which one is the real you?"

She raised her head, staring blankly at the clear blue sky, and whispered in confusion: "Sang Jingwan, what else do you have in mind?"

"Little girl, is this really your daughter?"

In his mind, he saw Jiang Anning softly reaching out to him and calling him "brother" eight years ago.

On one side was Sang Jingwan's ambiguous smile before her death.

What, after all, is real?
