The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 443 Fatty is Missing

There is no one else in Jiu Tiao Lane, and this is where Pang Ni’s spicy hot pot shop is.

Pang Ni arranged a marriage with her cousin at the end of last year. Although she is only fifteen this year, because she runs a business and her uncle's family are all helping out, the two families decided to set the wedding date at the end of this year, thinking that it would be more convenient to hold the wedding early.

The Malatang shop has always been doing well, and Pang Ni is a woman who is good at budgeting. Not long ago, when Shi Liu came to see her, she told her that she had saved enough money and wanted to buy the shop from the Gold Tooth Man, and asked her to help negotiate.

Of course the man with gold teeth was unwilling to sell it, but with Shi Liu's mediation, the man with gold teeth only considered it for two days and finally agreed to sell it.

Therefore, this shop now belongs to Pang Ni, and her business is more stable.

Fatty also said that she would come to the city and treat her to a meal when she had time.

Here, Li Rongyu hurried to Jiu Tiao Lane, and Shi Liu was also worried that something might have happened to Pang Ni's shop.

He hurried all the way to Jiu Tiao Lane. Before he reached the Malatang shop, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of the shop from afar, and there were vague figures of yamen runners. Shi Liu's heart skipped a beat.

"What happened?" Hu Zhen and Zuo Cheng led the way, squeezed into the crowd and came to the front. Shi Liu saw Li Rongyu and asked hurriedly.

Li Rongyu's face was not very good. When he saw Shi Liu, he seemed to have found his backbone. "Fat Ni is gone!"

"What?" Shi Liu's face suddenly changed. "Why is he gone?"

She looked at Pang Ni's older cousin Wu Liansheng.

The confusion and regret on Wu Liansheng's face were obvious. When he saw Shi Liu, he felt a glimmer of hope. Shi Liu was so powerful that he would definitely find Pang Ni!
He immediately explained the whole story, as he had just been explaining the situation to the yamen runners.

The Malatang shop does good business and needs a lot of ingredients every day. You have to get up early to buy the ingredients, so Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu are usually the ones who go there. Brothers Pang Ni and Wu Liansheng get busy with the things that need to be done before the shop opens.

The fishmonger that we often work with will deliver the fish directly to the shop every morning, and we will kill the fish quickly to make fish balls.

Pang Ni always keeps in mind what Shi Liu said about opening a food shop, one must pay attention to hygiene and the freshness of the ingredients, so the ingredients left over from the previous day are usually what the family has eaten, and the ingredients for the customers are freshly prepared on the same day. Fortunately, business is good, so there is not much left over, so everything has to be made fresh.

Today, Uncle Wu and his wife went to the vegetable market early in the morning, but Wang Asan, who was supposed to deliver the fish, had not shown up. Pang Ni was worried that she wouldn't be able to make fish balls without fish, which wouldn't do as there were many customers who liked to eat fish balls.

She immediately asked her second cousin Wu Liangen to go and greet him, to see why Wang Asan had not arrived yet.

But Wu Liangen never came back and didn't come back for a long time. Pang Ni was worried, so she said she would go and see what was going on.

Originally, Wu Liansheng should have gone to do this, but for some reason he slipped when he was drawing water from the well last night, and he hit his head on the well platform, resulting in a big bump on his head, which looked very scary. Although it was not serious, Pang Ni was worried about him going out, so she went by herself.

Who would have thought that after this trip, I would never come back.

Wang A Yu went to see a doctor early in the morning because his son had a stomachache last night, so he was a little late in delivering the fish.

The reason why Wu Liangen didn't return for a long time was that he met an old woman who fainted on the road. He first sent her to the clinic, but the old woman falsely accused him of hitting her. Then the old woman's family members came and stopped him from leaving, demanding that he pay for the medical treatment.

Fortunately, the consultation fee was not much, so he paid the fee with his copper coins, and was able to leave. He hurried to Wang Asan's house, and on the way he ran into Wang Asan who was delivering fish, and the two returned to the shop together. But neither Wu Liangen nor Wang Asan met Fatty.

Wu Liansheng was very anxious at that time. It happened that his uncle Wu and his wife had also returned. The family closed the shop and went out to look for her. Even Wang Asan came to help. However, they searched all nine alleys leading to Wang Asan's house but couldn't find Pang Ni. They also went to Wang Asan's house to ask his family, but his family also said that Pang Ni had not been there.

Now the whole morning has passed and Pang Ni has not returned home yet. Thinking of the girl from the rice shop who disappeared two days ago, Wu Liansheng did not dare to take any chances. He quickly reported to the authorities and went to the specialty store to find Li Rongyu.

Not long after the yamen runner arrived, he heard that the missing girl was also a little girl, so he hurriedly sent someone back to tell his own captain. Meanwhile, Captain He had also arrived.

The Liu family went to the yamen several times a day to ask for information, and the adults were annoyed and ordered him to speed up the solution of the case.

Another young girl went missing here, so he hurried over to see if he could find any useful clues.

The Wu family was questioned by Captain He again.

Shi Liu also frowned after hearing what Wu Liansheng said.

She felt that there was something strange about this matter.

Fatty and her friends had moved into this shop a long time ago. They could walk in the yard at night in the dark without getting lost. Wu Liansheng often fetched water there and was very familiar with the well. How could he have missed a step and fallen?

It was really an accident. After all, it was understandable that one's feet slipped after spilling water. But how could it be such a coincidence that the son of Wang Asan, who was delivering the fish, had diarrhea and delayed Wang Asan's delivery of the fish, and Wu Liangen was also blackmailed on the way to find Wang Asan and was delayed?

Pomegranate had a strong feeling that this was done on purpose.

After Wu Liangen had finished explaining what he needed to say, Shi Liu called him over and asked him, "Cousin Liangen, do you know where the old woman you helped along the way is from?"

Wu Liangen scratched his head, "I don't know him either."

He was also depressed when talking about this. He was clearly doing a good deed by kindly sending the old lady to the clinic, but in the end, he was blamed and not only was he scolded, but he also had to pay money for it. He was so unlucky.

Next time, when he encounters this kind of thing again, he will never be so kind again!

When Shi Liu heard that he didn't know the clinic, he asked which clinic it was and asked Zuo Cheng to go and ask around.

After Captain He finished questioning the Wu family, he began to question the residents of Jiu Tiao Lane.

Not long after, Zuo Cheng also rushed back.

"Girl, I have asked the doctor and the medicine boy in the clinic. They still remember what happened in the morning, but they don't recognize the old woman and her family.

But I saw that the medicine boy had a strange look on his face, so I called him aside and gave him some change. He then told me that the old woman and her son often scammed people in the city and extorted money, and they had come to their clinic many times in the past.

The mother-in-law's son was very fierce. Even though he knew that Wu Liangen was blackmailed, he didn't dare to say much. He was also surprised that today the mother and son only wanted Wu Liangen to pay for the consultation. Like in the past, they would not stop until Wu Liangen paid more money -"

After hearing this, Shi Liu had a stronger premonition in her heart, and asked Wang Asan again, "Brother Wang, can you tell me why your son had diarrhea last night?"
