Chapter 126 The Sapphire Case (5)

The Zhao family?Ji Mingmei and I looked at each other, the Zhao family who killed Wu Hanxiang were seeing a doctor inside?Judging from the meaning of this note, it is clearly telling us to go in and take a peep.Who threw this note, and why did you ask us to do such a thing?
Our original intention was to pretend to be a doctor to get the doctor's advice, but after reading this note, we all hesitated.Wu Hanxiang was beaten to death by the Zhao family. After the sapphire that was buried with him appeared, the person who held the sapphire wanted to find the doctor. Now the Zhao family also came to look for the doctor.

What's wrong with this doctor?

I was still hesitating, Ji Mingmei had already quickly crawled through the courtyard gate without making any noise, and I don't know how a young girl like her can be so familiar with doing this kind of thing.Seeing this, I had no choice but to follow her into the courtyard wall, and walked lightly to the window with her.

Ji Mingmei is obviously very keen on this kind of listening to the bottom of the wall, so she skillfully fixed her eyes on the crack of the window, peeping at the people inside.After looking inside for a few moments, she stepped aside and motioned for me to come and see.I moved my eyes up, and saw through the flat slit that there were two people inside, sitting across a table.

One of them put a hand on the table, and the other put his hand on his pulse, obviously checking his pulse.The doctor who saw the doctor was wearing a bamboo hat. He was the same person we saw in the tofu shop earlier.As for the other person, he was sitting with his back facing us, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he was a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s from the back.

If the note didn't lie to us, he probably belongs to the Zhao family.The doctor checked his pulse for a long time, but he never took his hand away.I thought to myself, why is this doctor's skill so incompetent, and he failed to diagnose Mr. Zhao's illness after a long time of consultation.

But before I could think about anything else, I heard that Mr. Zhao said angrily: "You took the sapphire away back then, so why did it fall into the hands of others? That jade is not worth much, so you just So short of money!"

I was taken aback when I heard that, it turned out that the piece of sapphire was stolen by this doctor, so he is Wu Zhou's matchmaker?In other words, he was the one who went to Wenling under the false name of Wu Hanxiang.He is a doctor, and he will not be criticized for going in and out of the tofu shop in the name of seeing a doctor, so he is the most likely candidate.

However, Wu Hanxiang and the old man of the Zhao family had a hatred for taking his wife, even if this doctor stole the sapphire buried with Wu Hanxiang back then, how could it be the Zhao family's turn to come to question him?
"I... I didn't sell the sapphire." The doctor said anxiously, but he still didn't withdraw his hand.When I saw this, I suddenly understood. It turned out that he was not checking Mr. Zhao's pulse, but just pretending.Someone might come to the hospital at any time, and he did this to cover up when someone suddenly broke in.

From this point of view, the topic these two people are talking about is naturally unknown, and there may be some ulterior secrets in it.I thought to myself, the person who threw the note just now obviously knew there was a secret in it, so he reminded us.But who is this person, and how did he find out about it?
"You didn't sell it, how could that sapphire get into someone else's hands?" Mr. Zhao's tone was aggressive, as if he was a little annoyed, "Do you want to kill us all!"

As he spoke, he might also feel that he was losing his composure, so he slowed down his tone, "You and I were on the same boat back then, and you and I couldn't escape if you were really short of money. I will help you, why even need such a small amount of money, it's not worth it!"

"I don't know if this is serious?" The doctor was also anxious, "But I really didn't sell that sapphire."

"Who would it be if it wasn't you?" Mr. Zhao asked suspiciously, "Hasn't it been in your hands all these years?"

"It's true in our hands. I just used it as a paperweight in the study at the back, and never brought it to anyone. But a few days ago, a stranger came to see me. After he left, I When I found out that this piece of sapphire was missing, at first I thought I had lost it somewhere and couldn’t find it, but I didn’t expect that the person would take the sapphire to pay the bill the next day.”

"What, a stranger stole that piece of sapphire?" Mr. Zhao seemed to panic, his voice stammered a little, "Could it be that... the incident 19 years ago happened, otherwise he wouldn't steal anything else, How could you just steal that piece of sapphire?"

Judging from his tone, it seems that a major event happened 19 years ago, which was related to this piece of sapphire.But Qingyu was buried with Wu Hanxiang, since this major event was related to Qingyu, it was also related to Wu Hanxiang.Wu Hanxiang is already dead, and everyone knows that he was beaten to death by the Zhao family. If this is the case, what else is there to say?
I was very confused when I heard it, and Ji Mingmei also showed a puzzled look on her face.The two of us looked at each other, then looked into the window.After Mr. Zhao said those words, he seemed anxious, and the doctor comforted him when he saw this, "Maybe this matter has nothing to do with that year. The man just saw that there was nothing else to steal in the house, but the thief didn't leave, so he took it away." It’s just the piece of jade.”

"No, it's definitely not that simple." Mr. Zhao raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, "If it had nothing to do with it, he wouldn't have sold Qingyu in the town. The intention of this person is to make Qingyu Reappear in Heshang Town. As long as Qingyu appears, people related to the past will naturally feel uneasy, and under anxiety, they will inevitably reveal their flaws."

As he spoke, his tone became more and more panicked, "So, that piece of sapphire was actually a bait released by that person! Maybe when I come to the medical center right now, I have already fallen into the eyes of those who care about me. I made a mistake, I didn't make a mistake, I shouldn't have come Here!"

"Then what should we do?" Lang Zhong was infected by him and became nervous. "I... I'll go to the store and buy that piece of jade back?"

"No!" Mr. Zhao sternly said, "No one related to that year can come forward. You can't, and I can't either. Tell Wu Zhou to go, yes, ask Wu Zhou to go, that piece of sapphire was recognized as Wu Hanxiang It is most suitable for her to be buried with her."

When Mr. Zhao said this, it meant that the Wu and Zhou family had also participated in the events back then.But we were even more confused when we heard that the Wu Zhou family was snatched from the Zhao family by Wu Hanxiang. It stands to reason that there was actually a grudge between the Zhao family and the Wu Zhou family, but why did it sound like they were accomplices?
Could it be that Wu Hanxiang's robbery from Zhao's family back then was actually a trap set up by the Zhao family, Wu Zhou's and others, with the intention of plotting against Wu Hanxiang so that they could find an excuse to beat him to death?Wu Zhou has never visited Wu Hanxiang's grave for so many years, so naturally he has no deep relationship with him, so this assumption is not impossible.

But even so, the matter remains suspicious.If the Wu Zhou family didn't like Wu Hanxiang, it would be fine if they didn't marry him, why did they deliberately join forces with the Zhao family to provoke Wu Hanxiang to rob him before beating him to death?What exactly happened that year, and what role did this doctor play in it?
Ji Mingmei and I exchanged glances again, both of them were suspicious.Now that I think about it, the person who hit us with the note was most likely the one who stole the sapphire.Judging from this person's actions, he was indeed investigating the events of the year, and he deliberately threw out the sapphire to lure people related to the events of the year to show up. We were also led in by him.

"Then I'll go and inform Wu Zhou's right away, and ask her to buy back the sapphire." The doctor said he hurriedly stood up, and was about to walk towards the door.

"Wait." Mr. Zhao stopped him again, as if he had reconsidered, and said decisively, "No, you can't ask Wu Zhou's to go. No matter who buys sapphire, they will be immediately involved in the past, and then follow the vine. Pull us out too. The best way to deal with it is to leave it alone, yes, we all leave it alone. After a while, it will be forgotten, and it will be over."

The doctor swallowed, and said: "Okay, listen to you. What about now, do I need to do anything, or do nothing?"

Mr. Zhao pondered for a while, and said: "How about this, you go and inform Wu Zhou immediately, and tell her not to act rashly, so as not to be targeted by someone with a heart."

The doctor responded and walked towards the door.We were afraid of being discovered, so we all held our breath and prepared to leave after they all went out.Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden change occurred in the house.Mr. Zhao took advantage of Langzhong's opening the door, suddenly picked up something on the table, walked quickly behind him, and smashed it viciously on the head.

The doctor fell down in response, and the bamboo hat fell to the ground, blood flowed all over the ground immediately, but there was no sound.Mr. Zhao dragged him back from the door, fearing that he would not die, and hit him on the head several times desperately.Langzhong's feet twitched for a while, and soon they stopped moving.

Seeing that these two people talked well, Mr. Zhao suddenly violently killed people, Ji Mingmei and I were shocked.Ji Mingmei almost cried out, thanks to my sharp eyesight and quick hands, I quickly covered her mouth with my hand.Ji Mingmei's face turned pale with fright, and she probably had to shout to relieve her emotions, but I covered her mouth and bit my hand.

I was in pain, but I didn't dare to say anything, for fear that people in the house would find us and clean us up too.He had the intention to kill, but we didn't dare to kill anyone. Comparing the two, we will suffer a lot.

Mr. Zhao dragged the doctor's body to the table, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on the murder weapon, and then put the handkerchief back into his pocket.We thought that he would leave in a hurry after killing someone, but at this moment, he did something we couldn't understand—he picked up a mirror from the table, and suddenly looked at the mirror there. Picked up the mirror.

Many doctors will put a mirror on the table to allow patients to observe their tongue.At this time, Mr. Zhao took out another comb from his pocket and started to do his makeup in front of the mirror.He combed his hair meticulously, and behaved gracefully, as if he was going to go out for a guest after grooming.

But there was a dead body lying horizontally at his feet, his breezy appearance formed a strong contrast with the pool of blood all over the ground, and it also made us feel horrified and gasped.After combing his hair in front of the mirror, Mr. Zhao put the mirror back on the table, put the comb back in his pocket, and then suddenly walked around the table and went to the back room.

Ji Mingmei and I took advantage of his absence and hurried away from the window.After we came out of the small courtyard of the hospital, we let out a long sigh of relief. The murder we witnessed just now really frightened us a lot, and the depression in our hearts had nowhere to vent, so we were relieved at this time.

When Mr. Zhao spoke to the doctor before, his tone was short, and he seemed very anxious.But looking at his actions after the murder, there was a sense of indifference in his gestures, I still don't understand, it turned out that Mr. Zhao came to the clinic tonight to kill people, and the previous words were all used to confuse the doctor.

He should have seen the reappearance of sapphire, and was afraid that what happened back then would break out, and the doctor was the most directly related person to this matter, so he came to kill him to silence him.Since we witnessed the whole killing process, we naturally wanted to report to the police, so we went straight to the town hall as soon as we came out of the medical hall.

Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the town hall, we found that the whole town hall was empty.

We were all amazed that every town was different, and not all the town halls were inhabited.Town halls in many places are only occupied during the day, and go home at night, but at least one or two people are always left on duty.It is extremely rare for the entire town hall to be empty at night like this.

Since we couldn't find anyone, we came out of the town office, thinking about the serious murder case, and we couldn't wait until tomorrow to report to the police, so we planned to ask nearby people about the mayor's residence, and we went there overnight.Unexpectedly, before we could inquire, we saw a person walking over in a hurry, about to go to the town hall.

Seeing this, I hurried forward and grabbed him, and recognized him before I even opened my mouth. He was one of the two brave men who brought us back to the town hall.I was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to him: "The mayor, I have something important to tell him."

"Why are you still here?" Xiang Yong also wondered, "What's the big deal? The mayor went out to handle the case. I wasn't on duty tonight, so I went home. It was the mayor who called the people nearby to inform me before going out. , let me come and be on duty.”

Surprised, I quickly asked him, "What happened?"

Na Xiangyong shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but it seems that he went to the tofu shop."

Something happened to the tofu shop?My heart trembled, thinking that the doctor might be Wu Zhou's best friend, and the doctor had been killed in the medical hall, so could it be that Wu Zhou was also killed in the tofu shop?If these two people are dead, then the truth about "Wu Hanxiang" going to Wenling will never be found out.
