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

Chapter 344

Jiang Anning raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that this man got to the point so quickly.

But it also seems to make sense.

"What is the matter, sir?" Jiang An Ning asked, neither saying he knew nor saying he didn't know.

The county magistrate chuckled twice: "Two people died in the backyard. Didn't Jiang Xiu Niang just come from there?"

"How come you don't know it now?" It sounded like an interrogation.

If an ordinary person heard this, he would probably have been scared out of his wits.

Jiang Xiu Niang said calmly: "I just want to ask you, sir, what exactly are you talking about?"

"I didn't say whether I knew or not."

She showed her sharpness and asked, "Why, sir, the county magistrate seems to insist that I don't know?"

The county magistrate originally wanted to show his power to the man, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere was really quiet for a moment.

The county magistrate came back to his senses and said, "Two people died in the backyard of Taotie Building, a man and a woman."

"I originally thought that you, Jiang Xiu Niang, knew about this matter."

He pretended to be surprised: "I didn't expect you didn't know?"

Of course it is impossible not to know.

Jiang Anning smiled and said, "I heard about it and went to see it. I was almost caught as the murderer, but I was so scared that I still haven't recovered from it."

She was treated as a suspect by the police chief at the time and was almost arrested. Many diners saw it.

Even if she wanted to deny it, she couldn't.

Just ask any diner and you will find out the truth.

Why would she try to cover up her guilt?

Instead, it only brings suspicion upon yourself.

"Being regarded as a murderer? And almost being caught?" The county magistrate exclaimed in surprise when he heard this.

Even Mrs. Lian An looked over with a strange expression.

Jiang Anning sighed, seeming helpless: "Yes!"

"It was also my fault that I was too enthusiastic, kind, and well-intentioned at the time. Seeing that the captain was really distressed and had no idea how to investigate the case, let alone confirm the identity of the victim, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, so I thought about telling him the news I knew."

She sighed: "Especially, the person who died was from the capital and had a noble status."

"I am also worried that if this matter is not handled properly, innocent people will be implicated."

"I didn't expect that my good intentions would almost get me into trouble."

Jiang Anning glanced at the county magistrate and said, "Fortunately, I mentioned it to the county magistrate a few more times, so I was able to get away with it temporarily."

The county magistrate and Mrs. An looked at each other, and the former looked very worried and asked, "What's going on? Tell me in detail."

"What else could it be?"

Jiang Anning said with a helpless and angry tone: "At that time, the people from the government office didn't know how to confirm the identities of the two dead."

"I asked everyone, but they all said they didn't know these two people and had never seen them before."

"I just went there to watch the fun."

"I never thought that I would almost eat myself while eating the melon."

"It's because I'm young and don't know the importance of things."

"I looked over and saw that the two dead people happened to be people I knew."

"I told you everything I knew."

"I didn't expect this gentleman to be so strange. I provided clues with good intentions, but he turned the tables and accused me of being the murderer."

Jiang Anning became more and more angry as he spoke, and slapped his hands heavily, "Judge me, is this outrageous? Is it excessive?"

She pretended to be very sad: "It was fortunate that there were many people around at that time, so he didn't get away with it so easily."

"I didn't let him put the blame on me."

"Otherwise, who knows how they would muddle through the matter, treating me as the murderer, making me a scapegoat, and hastily closing the case without caring about the truth at all."

The county magistrate frowned: "How could such a thing happen?"

"It seems that I am too indulgent towards them usually."

He cupped his hands and apologized to Jiang An Ning: "I'm really sorry, it's because I didn't control my subordinates well, which is why they had such audacious thoughts!"

"Mrs. Jiang Xiu was frightened!"

Jiang Anning stood up quickly and acted flattered: "What are you talking about, County Magistrate?"

"You really are irritating me."

"It's just a little misunderstanding, it's not that serious, but hasn't the matter been resolved?"

"Don't worry, sir. I am a very easy-going person and I won't bear grudges."

"What has passed is past, and will never be mentioned again."

Jiang An Ning said seriously, "I only mentioned it temporarily now because I want to explain this matter to you two."

"There is another main consideration."

The county magistrate said, "Oh," and asked, "What are you considering?"

"This new captain gives me a very strange feeling."

Jiang Anning said, "In theory, when ordinary people investigate a case, even if they want to suspect the person who provided the clues, they will unravel the case and find evidence bit by bit, and then put all the evidence in front of that person, leaving him speechless and unable to argue."

"But this gentleman handles cases very differently."

"He didn't talk about evidence, reasons, or motives. He just thought I was the murderer as soon as he heard me speak. It's really..."

Jiang Anning paused for a moment, glanced at the county magistrate, and smiled: "This is really too strange."

"It's so strange that I have to wonder if he has other intentions."

"Or maybe, the cases he handled before were exactly like this. He didn't conduct any investigation or reasoning. He just thought whoever it was was the person. To put it nicely, it was intuition. To put it bluntly, it was just finding someone to take the blame. In fact, who knows how many murderers are still at large."

"Your Excellency might as well check it out carefully."

"Putting such a person around, whether it was directed by someone or it was intentional."

"Or maybe he is just so stupid and bad. He is a very unstable factor for adults."

"If this person suddenly makes trouble one day, you will be the one who gets implicated in the end."

Jiang Anning smiled and said, "Your Excellency loves the people like his own children. He does everything personally and pays close attention to people's livelihood. The people are eager to spread his praises. He is a rare good official."

"A good official like you should be promoted to a higher position."

"If you destroy your foundation and your future because of a person like this, wouldn't that be a pity?"

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's face turned gloomy.

What Jiang Anning said makes sense.

He glanced at Mrs. An and thought about how when he talked to someone about cooperation before, the other party had always been ambiguous and did not give him a precise answer.

Now that he thought about it, maybe the other party was still testing him.

I want to take this opportunity to see if he is worthy of cooperation. In other words, I want to see if he is a chess piece worth using.

If there is value, we can naturally cooperate.

It is also worth collaborating.

But if it has no value... I'm afraid Madam An won't go with him.

"I just learned about this matter, and I didn't expect that such a misunderstanding would arise."

The county magistrate said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Jiang Xiuniang can rest assured. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give her justice!"

He glanced at Madam An, and after receiving a hint from her, he pretended to be hesitant and asked, "It's just that... I still want to ask, how did Madam Jiang Xiu know that the deceased was the commander from the capital?"

It is no secret that Wang Shang is the commander-in-chief.

Even if Jiang Anning knew, it would be normal.

In particular, when they were discussing these things, they did not avoid the farmhand beside Jiang Anning.

It's not surprising that Jiang Anning can get a glimpse of the situation from a few points.

But Wang Shang never shows his true face to others...

Even now, he and Madam An, who had dealt with Wang Shang many times, looked at the two dead people lying there and could not be 100% sure that the dead person was Wang Shang.

Why is Jiang Anning so sure?

That's a bit strange.

"Speaking of this, I can't help but feel anxious..."

Jiang Anning sighed, seeming to be worried and concerned.

The county magistrate looked at Mrs. An.

Madam An put down her teacup, looked at Jiang An Ning with a smile, and said in a gentle tone: "Just tell us what you have to say, Jiang Xiu Niang! Maybe if you can't solve something, tell us and we will have an idea to solve it."

"There's an old saying, 'Three heads are better than one.'"

"The three of us sitting here can be considered as three heads in one."

Jiang Anning frowned, with worry covering his brows.

In the end, it all turned into helplessness and disappeared with sighs.

"When something like this happened, I was also stunned at first."

"Not long ago, a few hours earlier today, Commander Wang invited me to have tea and chat with him."

"At the same time, he also discussed with me that when I go to Beijing, we will go together."

"He also said that he would do his best to protect me on the road and get me to the capital safely."

"The result was unexpected..."

Jiang Anning sighed, "We were talking and laughing a few hours ago, discussing the journey to Beijing, and we made an agreement."

"did not expect……"

She sighed long and hard: "Who could have thought that something like this would happen in the blink of an eye."

“I am still confused now.”

“At the same time, I am more worried about another thing.”

The county magistrate and Mrs. An couldn't help but look over when they heard this.

It seems like they are all asking: What’s the matter!
"I heard that the commander is a skilled warrior, and ordinary people can't get close to him easily."

"This is what he told me when he invited me to go to the capital with him and travel together on the road."

Jiang Anning looked sad: "He said he is very skilled. If I can have him accompany me on this journey, I will be safe."

"But I never thought that he would die before I even set out on my journey."

"How can I not be worried?"

"Could it be that someone is unwilling to see me respond to the imperial edict and come to the capital? Could it be that they want to kill me and silence me?"

"Even the commander was plotted against and died quietly in this Taotie Tower. How can I, a weak woman, deal with such a thing if it really happens to me?"

"What if the person who killed the commander comes looking for me again? Wouldn't I just be ready to be killed and wait for death?"

The county magistrate and Mrs. An didn't care much whether Jiang An Ning lived or died.

They both frowned almost at the same time and asked in unison, "You said that Wang Shang agreed to go with you to Beijing? Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true..."

Jiang Anning was stunned for a moment: "But the commander is dead, and there is really no evidence now."

"But there's really no need for me to lie to everyone about something like this, right?"

"It doesn't do me any good to tell lies."

"Not to mention that I'm counting on the two of you to give me advice and be careful to avoid any possible assassination."

"I really don't know who I have offended... Why are all these things targeting me?"

Jiang Anning's eyes turned red: "All I want is to live a stable and peaceful life."

"I don't want to get involved in all this trouble."

"Not to mention the imperial decree... I feel scared just thinking about it."

"I don't know how many conspiracies and tricks are waiting for me when I go to the capital."

She shed a tear delicately, as if she had really been wronged and was really frightened. Her eyes still showed a hint of panic, nervousness and fear: "I'm really afraid that after going through so much hardship and finally arriving in the capital safely, I will end up dying in some corner where no one cares about me, and there won't even be anyone to collect and bury my body."

Jiang Anning seemed to have the idea of ​​retreating and looked frightened.

Mrs. An and the county magistrate looked at each other.

They don't care about Jiang Anning's life or death, but if what Jiang Anning said is true... then why did Wang Shang suddenly invite Jiang Anning to go with him?

He didn't even tell them that he was going back to the capital.

"As Jiang Xiu Niang said, I'm afraid... the cause of the commander's death is very strange."

The county magistrate looked at Mrs. An and asked her how to respond next.

"Wang Shang took the initiative to invite you, saying that he would go back to Beijing with you?"

Mrs. An frowned.

"That's right..." Jiang An Ning hesitated for a while before continuing, "Originally, the commander invited me to a banquet at Taotie Tower today, and I was still hesitating whether I should accept it."

"I just thought, since I'm going to have dinner here today anyway, I might as well meet here."

"But at that time I was still a little hesitant and a little hesitant."

"I'm worried that this will bring me unnecessary trouble."

Jiang Anning looked frightened.

"I didn't expect... the commander told me that if I didn't meet him, I might never know the truth about some things in my life."

She pretended to be frightened: "I don't know what he means. Although I am curious, I dare not go there rashly."

"until……"

Jiang An Ning glanced at Mrs. An, then at the county magistrate, and then looked around, as if on guard against anyone.

"The commander sent someone to deliver a relic of my mother—"
