After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

Thinking of this, Yu Jiashan couldn't help but look at Fu Yutang.

Fu Yutang noticed his gaze but didn't pay any attention to it. He just looked at the person who was speaking and frowned slightly. "You mean, we can often hear children crying in the alley late at night? Did it happen after that person showed up?"

"Yes, but the sound is very quiet."

It was because she was a light sleeper that she noticed this.

"And more," the round-faced woman standing next to Aunt Jiang said, as if she had thought of something important, "Since Aunt Jiang's old sow died, many strange things have happened in the alley. There were footsteps in the middle of the night, but when I went out to check, I didn't see anyone."

Speaking of this, Jiang Auntie also remembered a strange thing, and gestured with her hands: "About five or six days after my old sow died, the pigpen seemed to have been turned over, and there was a big footprint left in the corner."

At that time, she thought it was some petty thief, but after a careful inventory, she found that nothing was missing from the house, so she didn't think too much about it and didn't take it to heart. She just thought she was being too suspicious. Maybe those footprints were left by Fu Yutang when he climbed over the wall before.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yutang frowned even more tightly.

"Can you take me to see it?"

Aunt Jiang naturally agreed, and led Fu Yutang to the corner of the wall, pointing to the base of the wall and said, "It's right there."

Fu Yutang followed the direction she pointed and saw a footprint as expected.

Normally, when people jump from a height, out of safety instinct, they usually land on their toes first, which results in the front footprint being deep and the back footprint being shallow. But this footprint was flat.

I looked up at the nearly ten-foot-high wall and felt something was wrong.

After measuring the footprints, Fu Yutang estimated that the man was at least 1.7 meters tall, so he asked, "How tall was the man you met before?"

The others looked at each other and said at once, "About half a head taller than me."

"Much shorter than you, sir."

"It's almost up to Xiaoyu's shoulders."

"..."

"..."

Based on everyone's description, Fu Yutang could roughly infer that the other person was no more than 1.65 meters tall.

In this case, it is not the same person who left the footprints.

and……

She looked at the wall, then at Yu Jiashan, who was about 1.75 meters tall, and said, "Brother Yu, have you ever practiced martial arts? Can you climb over this wall?"

Yu Jiashan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that he was just an ordinary scholar. He then estimated the height of the wall and said, "I'll try."

After he finished speaking, he walked straight out and appeared on the top of the wall after a long while.

"Jump down." Fu Yutang ordered.

Yu Jiashan said "hmm" and jumped down. In order to prolong the impact time of the ground on his feet and reduce the impact force of the ground on his feet, he subconsciously landed on his toes first, leaving a footprint that was deep in the front and shallow in the back.

Now, even without Fu Yutang’s explanation, Yu Jiashan could see the problem.

So, the person who came to Aunt Jiang's house later was not the same person who killed the old sow, and he has some skills, right?

Fu Yutang stared at the footprints for a while, and then he turned around and asked, "Then when you last saw the man, which direction did he go? Or, where was he when you last saw him?"

"It's right at the entrance of the alley." Everyone said in unison.
