There is a god in the sky

Chapter 19 The Yicun Murder Case 1

Wei Lanxiang turned to leave, but someone called out to her from behind, "Miss Wei?"

She turned around in surprise and met a pair of calm and deep eyes.

It was that handsome man with a strong official air about him.

Wei Lanxiang asked warily, "Do you know me?"

Xiao Ji was surprised that he had guessed correctly.

He didn't know Wei Lanxiang, but her voice was unmistakable, and her figure was the same as the soul guide he had seen yesterday, so he tentatively spoke up.

"I was fortunate enough to hear your name at the county government office. I was just guessing casually, but I didn't expect to be right."

A man from out of town could recognize her just by hearing her name; his observation skills are truly exceptional.

She nodded and turned to walk into the village.

She picked up several kinds of medicinal herbs along the way, all of which Grandma Li could use, and brought them over to them.

Normally, when she visited the Li family, Li Tiezhu would greet her warmly, but today, for some reason, he turned and ran away as soon as he saw her.

She didn't think much of it, left the herbs behind, gave a few instructions, and then left.

When they reached the village entrance, they saw the four people still sitting under the old tree enjoying the shade. Wei Lanxiang hesitated whether to take them home.

She knows all too well how painful it is to lose loved ones.

Wei Lanxiang would definitely feel guilty if she lied and they couldn't see each other one last time.

"Help! Guihua has committed suicide!"

The village is small; a shout from one end of the village can be heard from the other.

Wei Lanxiang immediately ran towards the direction from which the sound came, but four people were faster than her.

When Wei Lanxiang arrived, the grove at the end of the village was already surrounded by people.

This place is the entrance to the mountains from Baiyi Village. There are many people working nearby, and children are gathering firewood in the woods.

"Guihua, why did you think of such a thing! How will Da Niu live if you die?"

An old woman ran and wailed. Wei Lanxiang heard someone next to her say, "It's Wang's wife. She used to beat and scold Guihua a lot. I didn't expect her to be the one crying the most sadly now."

"At least I spent a tael of silver to marry her. I worked like a slave for her during the day and served her son at night. If she dies, I'll have nothing left."

The villagers disliked Granny Wang the most, and now that her daughter-in-law had died, many of them were gloating.

Wei Lanxiang had lived nearby for ten years and had heard of this family. This old woman, Wang, was a notorious wicked woman in the surrounding area.

She squeezed into the crowd, intending to examine the body, only to find the four outsiders surrounded by villagers.

"What are you four outsiders doing in our Baiyi Village?"

"They must have killed the people. Our village has been peaceful for decades, and people die as soon as they arrive. They can't escape responsibility!"

"Speak quickly, or we'll report you to the authorities."

Sui Feng retorted angrily, "What kind of looks are you giving us? Do we look like murderers? Besides, we just arrived."

Guan Shu chimed in, "Exactly! If we really did kill them, why would we come over instead of running away? Are we crazy?"

Wei Lanxiang also didn't believe that these people would kill a village woman.

She saw Gui Xiang's body lying on the ground unattended, so she went over to her.

Just as he was about to check the pulse, Xiao Ji stopped him, "Don't touch the corpse!"

Wei Lanxiang turned her head and asked sharply, "Are you an official? Or do you know how to perform autopsies?"

Upon hearing the words "autopsy," Xiao Ji's eyes flickered.

He recalled what he had heard in the county government office and wanted to verify it, so he said, "I don't know how to perform autopsies, do you?"

Wei Lanxiang ignored him and focused intently on examining the body.
