Space Fisherwoman: Going fishing in the sea and getting rich

Chapter 228 Denial

As he spoke, he made way so that everyone could clearly see the burned tree in the yard.

"This is what happened last night... So fortunately the arsonist didn't throw the fire directly onto the roof, and we discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Everyone present was shocked at the same time. How could someone dare to set fire to and burn the head of the village to death?
That's too bold.

At this time, one of Ji Jingnan's subordinates brought Feng Kaisheng over and reported respectfully: "Master, this man heard the sound of the gong and sneaked down from the mountain. He wanted to blend into the crowd without being noticed, but was discovered by our subordinates in time."

Ji Jingnan looked at Feng Kaisheng coldly: "You were the one who set the fire last night and wanted to burn me to death? You even ran to the mountain and used your familiarity with the terrain to make my people look for you all night?"

All the villagers looked at Feng Kaisheng in shock at the same time.

He was the one who set the fire?
Song Chuman raised her eyebrows. The system was truly amazing. Everything was just as she had expected.

Feng Kaisheng shook his head nervously: "No, I don't want to burn you to death. I have no grudge against you, so there is no way I would burn you to death."

Feng Kaisheng's wife Ran Si said, "Yes, my husband hated Du Lizheng so much before, but he never thought of burning him to death. Besides, you have so many guards here. If you are not careful, you will be discovered."

Ji Jingnan ignored Ran Si and continued to look at Feng Kaisheng, saying coldly, "You don't admit it?"

Feng Kaisheng: "I didn't do that. Of course I won't admit it. I slept at home all night last night. My family can testify for me."

Feng Kaisheng's family members were not fools and nodded one after another.

"Yeah, my son was home all night."

"He doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, how can he dare to kill a person?"

"My husband couldn't have set the fire."

Song Chuman suddenly looked at Feng Kaisheng's feet and smiled strangely, "You've been at home all night? Why are there so many weeds on your trouser legs? I remember that kind of weeds are only found in the mountains." Everyone's eyes were focused on Feng Kaisheng's trouser legs at the same time.

Feng Kaisheng looked down and saw that there were indeed a lot of weeds unique to the mountains on his trouser legs. His face turned pale instantly.

Ji Sheng taunted, “Let me see how you explain it now.”

Feng Kaisheng swallowed his saliva in fear and said in a trembling voice: "I... I don't know either. I guess... I bumped into it when I went up the mountain yesterday."

Ji Jingnan said, "The arsonist left last night and ran straight up the mountain. My people blocked every exit leading down the mountain. You also came down the mountain early this morning. You said that the weeds on your trouser legs were picked up yesterday, but I'm afraid that doesn't make sense."

"I'm really not the murderer." Feng Kaisheng was about to cry, "I didn't set the fire."

Song Chuman reminded: "Since you set the fire, you may have a fire starter on you."

Ji Sheng woke up as if from a dream. He saw something in his arms, reached out and took it out. He looked at it carefully and raised his voice, "It's a fire starter."

Ji Jingnan sneered: "What else do you have to say?"

Feng Kaisheng was stunned and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Seeing his expression, everyone present understood that it was indeed him who set the fire.

Yang Deru said angrily: "Feng Kaisheng, it's ok that you like to take advantage of others on weekdays, but now you have such vicious thoughts."

Villager A: "Jirizheng has no grudge against you, why do you want to harm him?"
