Traveling through the Lotus Tower: Li Lianhua, you must live well

Chapter 410 Find the murderer

The two drank a lot of tea in the teahouse and listened to a lot of gossip before leaving feeling satisfied.

Seeing that it was already noon, Li Lianhua suggested going to the inn for lunch.

Su Ci tilted his head and looked at him in confusion.

Li Lianhua kept it a secret and said, "Let's go find the shopkeeper to confirm something."

Su Ci curled his lips, "Can't you tell me now?"

Li Lianhua smiled and patted her head. "Because there are still some things I haven't thought through clearly, so I need to ask you first."

Su Ci shrugged: "Okay, you're smart, I'll listen to you."

The two came to the inn and ordered some signature dishes.

While eating, Li Lianhua also shared with the shopkeeper the new gossip he had heard in the teahouse, and then sympathized:

"It's really not easy for Aunt Wang. At her age, she has lost her husband and her son. I'm afraid her future will be even more difficult."

The shopkeeper also echoed: "Well, who says it's not true. Although her life was a little hard before, at least she still had some hope. Now... ah~"

Li Lianhua picked up a piece of bone and chewed it while saying, "I see that Aunt Wang is not in good health and is still taking medicine. I don't know if she can make it."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Ah? Widow Wang is not feeling well? No, she was very energetic when she was working for me last night, and I didn't see her take any medicine."

Afterwards, he thought about it and made an excuse: "Ah, I guess the blow was too great and I couldn't bear it for a while."

Li Lianhua was still gnawing on the bone, and said vaguely, "I guess so. When she left the teahouse, she was in a trance and almost fell down."

Su Ci interrupted, "Shopkeeper, where is Aunt Wang's home? To be honest, my husband and I are both doctors, and we have a little reputation in the martial arts world. Since we have met, it is fate. I can help her take a look."

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Her home seems to be in the east part of the city. Widow Wang just came to my place this month. I don't know exactly where it is."

Li Lianhua was surprised and asked, "Hey~ Isn't Aunt Wang working in the teahouse? Why did the shopkeeper say she was working here?"

Shopkeeper: "She originally worked in the teahouse, but later she said her son's condition worsened and she needed more money to buy medicine, so she started working two jobs this month, working in the teahouse during the day and coming to my place at night.

I don't have much work to do at night, so I didn't plan to hire her. Later, I felt sorry for her and she didn't ask for much, so I softened my heart and agreed to let her work here."

Li Lianhua sighed.

After dinner, Li Lianhua and Su Ci left the inn.

Su Ci: "Huahua, do you think the murderer could be Aunt Wang?"

Li Lianhua pondered for a moment and said, "Based on the information we have now, it is very likely that it was her. However, what I can't figure out is how she killed Boss Liu."

Su Ci: "Why think so much? Just go ask Auntie Wang and everything will be clear. If she really wanted to avenge her husband, then Boss Zhao and the other two deserved to die. If she killed innocent people indiscriminately, then we will bring her to justice."

Li Lianhua nodded and walked towards the east of the city with Su Ci.

……

"Knock down."

There was a knock on the door, and then someone asked, "Auntie Wang, are you home?"

There were faint noises from inside the house, but no one came to open the door.

Su Ci: "Auntie Wang, are you home? I'm the person who almost bumped into you in the teahouse before."

The room was quiet for a long while, and then the door creaked and slowly opened, revealing Aunt Wang's calm face.

Aunt Wang glanced at Li Lianhua and Su Ci and said in a hoarse voice, "Come in."

Having said that, he slowly turned around and walked towards the house.

Li Lianhua and Su Ci looked at each other, walked in and closed the door casually.

Li Lianhua smiled gently at Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, you don't seem surprised that someone would come to see you."

Aunt Wang said calmly, "There's nothing surprising about this. I know that if you don't want others to know, you better not do it yourself, so I didn't expect to keep it a secret forever. But I was surprised that you would come to see me."

Su Ci: "Do you mind talking about it?"

Aunt Wang was a little surprised. "Aren't you here to arrest me? Do you still have the mind to listen to all this nonsense from me?"

Li Lianhua groaned, scratched her nose, and said innocently, "My husband and I are just ordinary doctors, not detectives or constables. Why would we arrest you?"

Su Ci nodded aside.

Aunt Wang looked at Li Lianhua and Su Ci deeply, and said slowly: "This matter is a long story, it has to start from five years ago."
