Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 184
Humans have their own way of doing things, and so do rats.

Anyone who can operate in the black market must have their own sources of information. As long as they are willing to spend money, it is very quick and reliable to investigate an ordinary person with obvious facial features.

In just one night and most of the day, Zhang Ze received the message he wanted.

……

When he returned to the guesthouse, it was already dark, and Su Ning inside was anxiously waiting.

After a day and a night of running around, Zhang Ze looked energetic but couldn't hide the fatigue on his face.

She quickly took out the thermos by the door, rinsed it first, and poured him a full cup. "Brother Zhang, warm your hands and drink some hot water first."

"Okay, thank you Ningning."

After he sat down and rested for a while, and drank half a cup of hot water to recover, he explained in detail the information he had obtained and his subsequent investigation.

The man's name was Zhou Wei. More than ten years ago, he was a good-for-nothing from a nearby fishing village, spending his days eating, laziness, and idleness.

He and his wife, who dressed up every day and secretly flirted with men, were a perfect match; they were both the most disliked women in the village.

It's unbelievable how these two people could become so successful. They went from being peasants to having stable jobs, and they even got windfall gains and bought a big house in the county town, truly becoming the elite.

If you say there's nothing fishy going on here, who would believe it? Anyone who knows about this can't help but gossip behind their backs that the two of them must have done something wicked to achieve such success and even bring along their equally good-for-nothing brother-in-law.

So much time has passed, and the two of them have never returned to the village. Naturally, they have faded from everyone's sight and been gradually forgotten.

"Have you found out their exact address?"

The couple, along with the brother-in-law, matched the three that Captain Shi had mentioned.

Slowly closing his outstretched fingers into a fist, Su Ning had a strong premonition that finding them would unravel many mysteries.

"I found out that the couple now have a son and a daughter, and the brother-in-law has also found a wife from the city. All three of them are living quite well."

"Brother Zhang, let's grab something to eat first. I'd like to visit you later."

"it is good."

The two were not particular about their food while traveling. They ate something to fill their stomachs and then sneaked to Zhou Wei's house under the cover of darkness.

With Zhang Ze around, Suning doesn't need to think of ways to get over the wall; they can just wait quietly in front of the gate.

With a quick run-up, Zhang Ze used his long arms to climb up the wall and land silently in the courtyard, using his feet to push off the wall a few times.

She quietly removed the bolt from the door, opened it, and let her in. After giving her a look with her tightly pursed lips, she turned around and began searching for Zhou Wei and his wife's room.

The two, who were sleeping soundly and feeling refreshed after the activity, were dragged out of bed and bound hand and foot with burlap sacks over their heads. They were still in a daze and had no idea what was going on.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Trembling with fear, Zhou Wei mustered his courage and instinctively turned his head away from the light shining through the sack.

At the same time, he shouted, all bluster and no substance, "Do you know who Brother Qian is? I'm his sworn brother! You'd better let him go or you'll regret it!"

His hands and feet were bound, and he was only wearing a pair of floral shorts. The fat that was bulging out from the ropes jiggled with his voice, whether from the cold or from anger, it was hard to tell.

"Waaaah! What do you want? Let me go! If you're going to look for someone, look for that fatso! What does this have to do with me? Let me go! Let me go!"

What a couple! The woman betrays her husband the moment danger strikes, and what's strange is that Zhou Wei, this old man, isn't angry at all.

He even felt it was only natural, and although he was terrified, he followed her words and used his fat body to try to shield her.

He seemed to be saying, "Yes, yes, yes, do me, do me, but don't do my wife."

For a moment, Zhang Ze was completely bewildered, unsure how to judge Zhou Wei.

He looked around the room, then grabbed two smelly socks and stuffed them into his mouth from under the burlap sack, sealing it completely.

He then grabbed a handy weapon and, being ruthless and taciturn, began to strike the two men.

Only when the two men's groans subsided did they pull out the daggers tucked behind their backs and press them against Zhou Wei's neck. The icy touch sent a shiver down Zhou Wei's spine. Before he could fully react, he felt a warm rush of blood to his neck, and the smell of blood assaulted his senses.

"Ugh, mmm~"

He fully understood the ruthlessness of the person who came; they didn't waste a single word, and they were clearly after his life!

This realization left Zhou Wei's mind blank, and the immense fear made him wet himself instantly.

The sock stuffed in his mouth was roughly ripped off. "Big brother...big brother, let's talk this out, sob, all the money and tickets are in the cracks under the bed...take them all, just don't kill me!"

"Do you remember what you did thirteen years ago?"

Lowering his voice, Zhang Ze pressed the dagger in his hand down a little further, deepening the thin cut.

"Ten...thirteen years ago..."

Impossible! Only the four of them knew about that incident back then; there couldn't have been anyone else!

And indeed, just as that person said, no one came looking for them afterward, not even to inquire about it.

It's been so long, how could that be?!
"Can't remember? Let me help you recall: Blue Lake fishing village, the cliff in the bay, the sack thrown down."

As he uttered one keyword after another, Zhou Wei's forehead was covered in large beads of sweat, his pupils dilated, and his mental defenses were immediately shattered.

Even Quan Taohua, who was cowering behind him pretending to be dead, couldn't help but start trembling.

"What that person said, that's what he told me to do!"

"If you don't confess honestly, I'll cut off pieces of your flesh and feed them to your wife."

"I'll talk, I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"

Thirteen years ago, he was just a man who didn't know where his next meal would come from, and he relied on his wife's occasional handouts to make ends meet.

That day, Zhou Wei was about to go home when he bumped into a man sneaking in with something in his arms. He was both happy that he could finally have a full dinner and resentful and frustrated, and wanted to jump up and stab the man.

Not daring to actually do it, and with nowhere to vent his anger, Zhou Wei muttered curses under his breath as usual, turning around to leave the village and find a secluded spot to squat down, trying to avoid seeing or being bothered by what he saw.

Whether he was lucky or unlucky, who would have thought that something so deadly could happen in such a desolate place!

The seemingly refined man actually laid a hand on his pregnant wife.

From the moment he made his move to the moment the pregnant woman fell, only a few seconds passed. Zhou Wei was completely stunned and watched the whole thing in a daze.

He was as shocked as the beautiful woman who fell; he still can't forget the look in her eyes.

After the man left in a hurry, he slumped over and, with trembling legs, mustered up his courage and peered down at the spot.

I don't know what got into me, but when I came to my senses, I had already taken a shortcut to the bottom of the cliff.

This cliff is not high, and it is quite a distance from the sea. Below it grows many large trees and wild banana groves.

Perhaps it was fate that the woman survived; she not only didn't die but also miraculously escaped serious injury, though she suffered broken leg and arm bones and couldn't move them.

He was still hesitating whether to save the person when he saw a man whose face and body were covered in dirt and whose features were obscured suddenly appear out of nowhere, pick him up, and run away.

Zhou Wei swore that at the time it was just a perfectly normal exclamation: This savage can run so fast while carrying a pregnant woman, he's a god.

She was caught red-handed by the man who had murdered her wife no sooner had she finished speaking!

"I... I was blinded by greed; he gave me way too much..."

Two job quotas and three thousand yuan—who could resist such a temptation?
Zhou Wei burst into tears, saying that he hadn't killed the person; they had at most helped move and dispose of the body, which wasn't a capital offense.
Seeing Su Ning covering her mouth and crying silently, trembling all over, Zhang Ze clenched his teeth and made a grinding sound: Xu Zixin, that beastly dog!

"Are you sure the person wasn't completely dead when you picked them up? That person could even harm his wife and her own flesh and blood, how could he let you go? You'd better tell me everything, or... I'll take your life!"

The last sentence was squeezed out word by word, and the chilling murderous intent was almost tangible.

Zhou Wei practically swore to the heavens, his face streaked with tears and snot, "When we picked her up, she was already motionless in the sack, ready to be thrown down..."
