Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation, I became a role model of righteousness

Chapter 142 Suspicious Points Discovered
"Let's go and take a look in the backyard."

Furong's tofu shop is like most shops, with business in the front and people living in the back.

Furong's family lives in the backyard of the store.

This is also the place where Furong hanged herself.

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw a lot of fallen leaves piled up there.

Like the front yard, it has been unattended for some time.

"Where did Furong's parents go? Are they dead too?" There was no one living in the yard. Where could Furong's parents have gone if they weren't dead?

"I don't know. Let's go to Furong's room first." There are only three rooms in the backyard.

One is Furong's parents' room, one is Furong's room, and the other one should be an adult man's room.

Maybe he is Furong's older or younger brother.

Furong's room was easy to spot. After the two entered the room, they found that the room had not been cleaned.

Even the red silk that Furong used to hang herself was still hanging on the beam.

There were large patches of dark red blood on the ground.

It was obvious that no one had cleaned up the house after Furong's death.

"Look in this room and see if we can find anything." Jiang Li and Meng Jue began to rummage through the drawers separately.

Everything in Furong's room was still there, and no one dared to touch her things.

Whether it was clothes or small jewelry worn by girls, they were all in the house.

Although Furong doesn't have a lot of clothes, she still has four or five sets of clothes to replace for each season.

And the colors are very pink.

These clothes look quite new, and they must have been worn for less than two years.

Jiang Li began to form a preliminary image of Furong in his mind.

Furong's family is well off and can make new clothes every year.

Although jewelry is not expensive, it is a luxury that families with ordinary incomes cannot afford.

Jiang Li continued to search the house, and suddenly, she found a collection of poems.

There is a short poem in it, which is full of the girl's feelings.

After reading this poem, Jiang Li made a new discovery.

It seems that Furong has a lover, and both of them are probably interested in each other, but they haven't made it clear yet.

"Let's go and check out other rooms." After saying that, he went to Furong's parents' room first.

Although Furong's parents' room was also unattended, at least there was no blood in the room, nor was there a hanging rope hanging from the beam.

This room is larger than Furong's room, but the furnishings inside are very simple. There is a portrait of the couple hanging on the wall.

It can be seen that this is a very loving couple.

As usual, the two searched the room but found nothing.

They worked until late at night, and when they returned home, they were almost discovered.

Fortunately, they were cautious and managed to escape right under the noses of the two inner door law enforcement hall disciples.

After returning to the inn, the two began to review the situation.

"Furong's parents are not dead, they left on their own." Jiang Li poured a cup of tea, took a few gulps and said.

"How do you know they are still alive? And they left on their own?" Meng Jue looked at Jiang Li in confusion.

Didn’t they go to Furong’s house to investigate together? How come he didn’t find anything?

“Clothes and jewelry.

The clothes and jewelry in the portrait were gone, and one of the jewelry boxes was missing.

Also, there is some silver missing from the money box where I keep my money."

Jiang Li shared his findings.

Meng Jue: "The portrait you are talking about is the one hanging in Furong's parents' room?"

Jiang Li nodded, "It's that portrait. Since they are a couple in the painting together, and it's hung in the room for appreciation, they should dress up well before entering the painting. They should be wearing what they think are the best clothes and jewelry, but now the jewelry and clothes are gone.

There is a mark on the dressing table, probably caused by a box being left in the same place for a long time.

But now the box is gone, and I haven’t found any box matching that mark on my dressing table.”

Meng Jue continued to question, "What about the silver? The silver in the money box is all there. Although I didn't count it carefully, it must be at least fifty taels.

What's wrong with this money? How do you know there's less silver?"

"Let me ask you, what kind of business is the Furong family doing?" Jiang Li took out a plate of snacks and grabbed a piece of it into his mouth.

"Selling tofu!" Suddenly, Meng Jue understood something.

"I understand! So that's it!"

"I was careless."

"It's good that you understand. A tofu shop doesn't have much loose silver. They are all five or ten taels of silver ingots. This is unreasonable in itself."

After all, who would pay for tofu with silver ingots?

Although there is a money shop in the town where you can exchange silver.

But the Furong family is a business, so even if they exchange loose change for silver ingots, they will always leave enough change for easy change.

The change in the cash box is definitely not enough to give change to people when doing business.

This does not meet the business needs of a store.

Unless someone took away a large amount of loose change and left in a hurry.

The reason why they didn't take the silver ingots was probably because they didn't want people to know that someone had touched the silver, and they thought that taking some loose silver would not be discovered.

It would also be unreasonable if it was other jealous townspeople who took action.

He was brave enough to steal money from Furong's house and leave the silver ingots behind, only stealing some loose change. How could someone with such courage only take such a small amount?

The only explanation for the above findings is that Furong’s parents left on their own.

Leaving these things behind was probably just to create confusion.

As for the reason why they did this, Jiang Li hadn't figured it out yet.

I always feel that there is a piece missing from the puzzle of Xiaofu Town.

This crucial part made it impossible for her to connect everything together.

After listening to Jiang Li's analysis, Meng Jue's eyes widened in surprise.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Li saw that he was staring at her, so she stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of him.

Fortunately, Meng Jue didn’t say anything.

"I just think that Senior Sister is amazing. She was able to discover so many things just by going to Furong's house."

Meng Jue expressed his sincere admiration.

"What's the big deal? Your senior sister is amazing in many ways. You'll know in the future." Jiang Li patted Meng Jue's shoulder without any modesty.

Another night passed.

There is no doubt that the people from the Inner Gate Law Enforcement Hall did not discover anything.

Even though they used their spiritual sense to keep an eye on everyone in the town in the dark, they still didn't get any useful information.

"Let's go to the charity cemetery." Jing Jianhong led everyone to the charity cemetery.

The mayor still led the way.

There is a charity cemetery in the town.
Tupo Temple in the north of the city.

Tupo Temple is a dilapidated small temple. Because this place was abandoned, it was used as a charity cemetery.

On weekdays, the charity cemetery is only looked after by an old man with a blind eye.

The old man’s son is the night watchman in town. Because of the recent incidents, the night watchman has stopped working.

No one dared to stand watch outside in the middle of the night at a time like this.
