The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent

After hearing this, the two officials put away their hair ties and found nothing useful. They came over and said goodbye to Shen Chen: "Brother Shen, let's go back first."

Shen Chen nodded: "Do as agreed in the morning."

The two officials hurriedly responded and turned to leave.

Lin Xi was a little surprised at this: "They... are quite polite to you."

Shen Chen said: "Last year, the people from the Yamen captured a thief. The thief ran into the mountains and plotted against the people from the Yamen. I happened to pass by while hunting and saved them."

"real?"

"real."

Lin Xi was speechless.

Shen Chen's luck is too strong!

Who said that only Fang Xing'er's brother in the village has a relationship with people from the yamen, isn't there Shen Chen? And it's a life-long friendship!

Seeing that there were still villagers watching and whispering around, Shen Chen called Lin Xi back to the yard.

He closed the door, turned around and said to Lin Xi: "The person who harmed the Four Treasures will be caught tomorrow."

"How are you sure?"

Shen Chen motioned Lin Xi to sit down at the table, poured himself a bowl of water, and said, "Today I am at the county government office. In addition to cooperating with them in taking confessions, I am also investigating."

"First, I searched all over the house last night, and no property was lost, which means that the thieves were not after money. Second, I also saw Si Bao's injuries last night. The wounds were uneven, as if the thieves were in a panic. It was injured by a smash. The injury is not fatal. If he is a really ruthless and habitual criminal, he should silence everyone he bumps into and make sure there are no further troubles before leaving."

Lin Xi made it clear: "Si Bao's injuries were not fatal, but the excessive blood loss had a greater impact on Si Bao. The thief did not mend his hand, and the scene outside was also in a panic, which means that after the thief injured Si Bao, he did not He left in a hurry without confirming."

In this case, the thief who harmed the four treasures is not only not a repeat offender, but may also be doing this for the first time.

Shen Chen nodded and said: "It's not about money, nor is it really about the Four Treasures of Silence. However, there are many families in Chenyang Village who seem to be richer than us, but they chose us, rummaged around and left. It means that the thieves must know Our people came here to find something."

To put it bluntly, an acquaintance committed the crime.

Once you understand this, you can start checking the people around you.

"I have thought about what I have done recently, and I have not offended anyone. You should have less contact with the people in Chenyang Village. When you go out, either to Huming Mountain or to the county, you should not have offended anyone."

Lin Xi nodded immediately: "That's right."

She has been here only a short time, how can she offend others?

The original owner is possible, but everyone in Chenyang Village knows about the original owner's bad reputation, and few are willing to associate with the original owner.

wrong!

There are still people to offend!

Lin Xi frowned: "——Fang Xinger! She has become enemies with us!"

Shen Chen said: "I thought about it carefully and found that she was the only one, so today I asked someone from the government office to help me check it out. I found that Fang Xinger's parents were both working in the fields today, and Fang Xinger was not out at home either. I have found someone to confirm it." Yes, it’s Fang Xing’er’s brother Fang Sheng.”

When he said this, Lin Xi remembered it.

"Today I met Matchmaker Chen! Matchmaker Chen said that Fang returned to the village the day before his death, but left the village yesterday for unknown reasons. Could it be him?!"

Shen Chen looked at Lin Xi and said: "I don't know, but he is the most suspicious. So I brought two officials back to check the scene again, hoping to find something, preferably evidence. Just in time, you found the Four Treasures I have checked and found that Fang Sheng left the village yesterday with a package. If it was really him who did it, then he must have been stained with blood yesterday."

"If Fang Sheng hadn't thrown the blood-stained clothes near Chenyang Village, he would have had to take them to the county or throw them away on the road!" Lin Xi said.

Shen Chen said: "So I have discussed with the officials, and they will search in private along the way. Currently, it is known that there is no one in Chenyang Village. As long as it is found on the road or at Fang Sheng's residence in the county, he can be convicted. The Four Treasures The other half of the flower head should still be on him, which is also physical evidence."

After the words fell, there was a silence in the courtyard, and the wind passed by leaving a sound.

Shen Chen took another sip of water and looked up to see Lin Xi staring at him dumbfounded.

Shen Chen was slightly startled: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Lin Xi nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Doubts flashed across Shen Chen's eyes, and just as he was about to raise his hand to touch his face subconsciously, he heard Lin Xi say: "Your face is filled with 'wise, mighty, and extremely clever' right now!"

Shen Chen's hand stopped in mid-air: "..."

Lin Xi really never expected it.

In the morning, I was still worried about how to vent my anger to the four treasures. But how long has it been? When Shen Chen came back in the afternoon, he already had a suspect, and he was just waiting for the evidence to be arrested??!

She thought that what Shen Chen said in the morning was just to comfort her!

Lin Xi looked at Shen Chen with admiration: "With all your wisdom, you would be the biggest enemy...No, if you don't have any future, who else can have any future!"

Shen Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "That's not necessary."

At this time, a child's voice sounded at the door of the house.

"Dad, you are so awesome!!"

Lin Xi and Shen Chen turned around and saw the three of Dabao standing at the door, looking at Shen Chen with starry eyes, their faces full of admiration.

They ran out and surrounded Shen Chen.

"Dad is indeed the best!"

"I will definitely be happy when Si Bao wakes up and finds out!"

"Dad, tell me how you did it!"

Shen Chen had a headache due to the noise, and said: "Stop making trouble, go back and take care of your sister and the chicks. Have you fed them?"

"not yet……"

The three little dumplings pointed their fingers at each other.

"Then why don't you go quickly?"

Shen Chen looked scary with his expressionless face.

The three boys immediately ran away very fast, but their eyes were still bright when looking at Shen Chen.

Lin Xi couldn't help laughing: "Shen Chen, you're a bad person. You deliberately scared them."

"I didn't. They are too young to know."

Shen Chen's expression softened and he took another sip of water.

Lin Xi clicked his tongue, leaned forward and said, "I'm really curious sometimes. You're so smart, so it's normal for the villagers to be wary of you. Then why do they dare to bully Dabao and the others?"

Shen Chen lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I didn't pay much attention to them in the past."

"Is it because you are too busy?" Lin Xi asked.

Shen Chen twirled his fingertips and gave a faint hum.

After a pause, he added: "...In the past, I could only try my best to feed and clothe a few children."

Lin Xi understands this.

After all, it was still a lean year at that time, and it was really not easy for Shen Chen to raise four such young children alone.

Lin Xi said: "You have done well enough."

Shen Chen shook his head: "Not enough."

Lin Xi said sincerely: "But I think Dabao and the others are very lucky to have you as their father. Well, you have worked a lot today, so I will cook your favorite dishes."

Shen Chen nodded and calmly watched Lin Xi enter the kitchen, then looked down at the cup in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
