Chapter 3641 Investigation
"Madam, if the murderer isn't caught, will we be in danger in the future?"
"Madam, we are just ordinary villagers. We wouldn't be able to protect ourselves if there was any danger. Please help us find the killer to ease our minds."
"Yes, Madam, please be merciful and help us!"
"Please, Madam…"
Seeing the villagers pleading anxiously, Feng Jiu sighed softly and said, "Get up. I'll have someone investigate."
"Thank you, Madam."
When the crowd heard this, they couldn't help but smile and thank her over and over again.
"Leng Hua, have Wei Feng and Gu Mo investigate last night's abnormalities," Feng Jiu instructed as she sat in the courtyard sipping tea.
"Yes." Leng Hua replied, glanced at Leng Shuang, and left.
"Master, we found a dead body in a bush a distance away. It's one of our guards who was patrolling last night," a guard reported in a low voice.
As soon as he heard this, the middle-aged man instinctively looked at the woman in red sitting and drinking tea. Seeing her seemingly unconcerned expression, he was about to speak when she set down her teacup and stood up.
"Leng Shuang, it looks like we won't be able to leave by noon. Have someone prepare lunch when we return," Feng Jiu said as she slowly walked away.
"Yes, " Leng Shuang replied, walking away with her.
Watching them leave, the middle-aged man went to inspect the dead guard. He initially thought the guard died in the same manner as his daughter, only to find that the cause of death was a piercing wound on his head.
"Father, what kind of weapon caused this wound?" the man asked his father.
"It doesn't look like a weapon," the middle-aged man observed, "but rather something sharp." Then he turned to the two patrolling guards and asked, "Was there anything unusual about him last night? Where did he go?"
While he was asking, two remarkable men walked over. After glancing at them, they looked at the body on the ground and then at the two guards standing aside.
Wei Feng looked at the two guards and said, "Let's hear it too, go ahead."
Recognising them as the woman in red's subordinates, the middle-aged nodded, signalling the guards to explain the situation clearly.
"Last night, he went behind the house to relieve himself and accidentally fell into the ravine. We heard him shouting and went to look, and he said he was fine. After a while, he came back, his face covered in blood and looking very pale. We were all scared by his appearance. Since the blood had clotted, we didn't see how deep the wound was and let him treat it. But he never returned, and we just found out he's dead."
Wei Feng stroked his chin and asked, "Was there anything unusual in between?"
"Unusual..."
The two guards thought for a moment, and then one slapped his forehead, "Yes! Something seemed odd last night. When we told him to return and apply medicine, he went straight to the young miss' bedroom. He also felt really odd, not like himself."
The middle-aged man was surprised but didn't say anything.
Wei Feng and Gu Mo looked at each other and said to the two guards, "Take us to the ravine where he fell last night."
