With Tang Wuxia's lightness skills, it is still very easy to get rid of Wang Butou.Just now Tang Wuxia discovered that Wang Butou was deliberately avoiding a building, the largest building in the town, a very large restaurant.

Since he deliberately avoided it, there must be a problem, and he and Gongsun Ce thought there was a problem with this restaurant before. This restaurant is the newest and largest in the whole town, and it has not been built for more than ten years.Most importantly, such a small town shouldn't have such a restaurant.

Tang Wuxia came out this time to find out the truth. If what the county magistrate said was true and Wang Butou and the others were deliberately concealing this case, then this might be the one they wanted to find.

"Old man, is there any problem here? Just now, looking at your expression, there seems to be something bad about it."

"Young man, don't you know where that is?"

The old man thought that Tang Wuxia, like everyone else in that restaurant, was a son of a rich family who was bewitched by gold and drunkenness, so he showed a regretful expression.It turned out that she didn't know what it was there for. The old man felt that if she told Tang Wuxia the true face of the restaurant, she really couldn't bear to let Tang Wuxia follow in her son's footsteps.

"I'm just hungry. I saw this restaurant and wanted to go in to eat. But judging by the old man's expression, that place should not be as simple as a restaurant."

"That's not a restaurant, it's clearly a place that eats people without spitting out their bones."

"Old man, why has this restaurant become a place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones?"

"That's a long story."

The old man sighed, as if he had touched something sad.When Tang Wuxia thought he could hear something from the mouth, he found that the old man didn't say anything except sighing.Judging by that expression, it didn't seem like he didn't want to say anything, but was planning something.

The old man didn't speak, and Tang Wuxia didn't urge him, just waited like this.Judging from the performance of the old man, the story about this restaurant will definitely expose her scars, and it is not good to expose someone's scars, let alone an old man.

"Cuckoo..."

Tang Wuxia's stomach groaned in disbelief, which amused the old man, and the sadness around him was much less.Tang Wuxia blushed a little, then touched her nose in embarrassment, not knowing how to react for a while.

"Young man, are you hungry? The old woman still has some food at home. If you don't mind, come in and use some."

The old man's home is not considered rich, and there are a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat hanging on the surrounding walls, but there is nothing else.

Tang Wuxia sat down at the table, and the food was brought out after a while.What was served was a bowl of rice, a dish of vegetables and a few scallions. Tang Wuxia had never seen that dish. Anyway, he had been in this world for so long, and he had never eaten a dish with the same taste.

"Old man, what kind of dish is this? I haven't seen it before. It tastes really good."

"This is the wild vegetable that the old woman just dug up in the morning. It looks like you are the son of a wealthy family. Of course you have never eaten this vegetable."

Wild vegetables are still very valuable in modern times.But in this era, no one will eat wild vegetables unless there is really nothing to eat.Tang Wuxia glanced at the house again, and had a vague guess.

"Old man, do you live here alone? Where is your family?"

"They are all dead, leaving only the old woman and me."

"Is it because of that restaurant?"

"That's not a restaurant at all. It's a casino, a brothel, a place where people can eat people without spit out their bones."

The old man's emotions became even more agitated when he mentioned the restaurant, the casino and the brothel, it turned out that it was actually a gold-selling cave.

"Young man, the old woman advises you to stay away from that place. The old woman's son committed suicide because he lost all his money there."

The old man's son was originally a diligent young man, filial and capable.So although the family is not very rich, they live a good life.Until one day her son accidentally entered that restaurant, and that day her son won a lot of money, and he had to work hard for a month to earn that money.But now he earned it in just a few hours.

Since then, the old man's son has been soaking in that restaurant every day. He won at first, but gradually lost more and more.In the end, his son was so jealous that he lost all his family savings and some valuables, and even lost his own life in the end.If the title deed of this house hadn't been hidden by the old man from the beginning, I'm afraid she doesn't even have this house now.

"Old man, do you know where the restaurant used to be?"

"In the past, there were several houses in that place. The old woman remembered that one family was named Ding and the other was named Yang."

"The family surnamed Ding, their son is called Ding Qian?"

Tang Wuxia remembered that the family whose whole family was burned to death on the document was surnamed Ding, and the son's name was Ding Qian.

"It seems to be the name. The Ding family and the Yang family were burned to death overnight. What a crime."

"Old man, listening to your tone, there seems to be something hidden in it?"

"It's not that the owner of the casino burned them to death."

"Casino owner?"

If it was done by the casino owner, it seems that the dime is not the prisoner, or is it that the casino is actually owned by their group, and it is used by that force to collect money.

"Yes, we all know that these two families must have been killed by him. It's just that the official was protecting him, so he said it was an accidental fire."

The owner of the casino is Zhao Li, a foreigner.After he came here, he took a fancy to the current land, and wanted to open a gold sales cave, integrating wine, gambling, and pornography.It's just that the land he's looking at already has an owner, and Zhao Li originally planned to buy it from these two families with a lot of money.It's just that this is their ancestral house, and the two families are considered rich, so why are they willing to sell their ancestral house.

Being rejected many times, and even kicked out directly, Zhao Li was also a little angry.On this day, Zhao Li once again had the door closed in the two families. Anxious, Zhao Li threatened to find someone to burn the two families to death.That same night, the house caught fire.The fire was very large, especially in the Yang family.When everyone found out, the fire in Yang's house could not be saved, so they chose to rescue Ding's house, which had a smaller fire.

Only one member of the Ding family was rescued, and that was Ding Qian.The seven members of the Ding family except Ding Qian and the ten members of the Yang family were burned to death by the fire.When the fire was extinguished, the Ding family and the Yang family also became ruins.

After an investigation, the government said it was an accidental fire, but everyone in the town thought it was Zhao Li.Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Zhao Li had just said during the day that he was going to burn two families, but at night the two families were really burned to ashes.But because the county magistrate at that time took advantage of Zhao Li, and there was no one in the two families, this matter was finally judged as an accident.

"Old man, is that the dime? Wasn't he rescued?"

"Ding Qian was seriously injured at the time, and his family members were all dead, so he was overwhelmed with grief and left the next day."

"Did you see Ding Qian die with your own eyes?"

"That's not it."

"Old man, do you think about the possibility that Ding Qian is not dead?"

This sentence made Tang Wuxia hope again. If he didn't see him die with his own eyes, it might be a trick set up by the people behind the scenes, but the old man's subsequent words made Tang Wuxia completely convinced that Ding Qian was not what they wanted. looking for someone.

"Impossible. Although the old lady didn't see Dingqian die, other people did, and the old lady saw him buried with her own eyes."

Since Ding Qian was not the person they were looking for, Tang Wuxia wondered if they should continue to investigate.There is obvious collusion between government and businessmen in this place, and there are even plots to harm people's lives by real estate.But their task now is to investigate the criminal's clues.Spending time here will obviously affect the progress of the investigation, but they can't leave the case alone.

When Catcher Wang found Tang Wuxia, he was shopping in front of a small stall.Those are some gadgets, the workmanship is not exquisite, but the price is cheap.When Catcher Wang came over, Tang Wuxia was excitedly choosing which one to buy.

"I want all these things."

Tang Wuxia, who couldn't choose, decided to buy them all. Although Tang Wuxia didn't take Tang Wuxia very seriously, he still had to do some superficial work.So when Tang Wuxia was about to pay, Catcher Wang paid for him first.

"How can I let Catcher Wang spend money? I'll do it myself."

Tang Wuxia said that's what he said, but he didn't mean to pay for it at all.

"Where did the son-in-law go just now?"

"Was Catcher Wang questioning my son-in-law? Where does my son-in-law go is my son-in-law's freedom."

"The villain is just worried about the son-in-law. If something happens to you, how can the villain explain to the county magistrate?"

At night, the door of Gongsun Ce's room was suddenly opened by someone from the inside, and a person walked out of the room, and that person walked around the room, looking around to see if anyone was watching.This person was Tang Wuxia who closed the door again when he realized that there was no one around.This yamen clearly has problems, so how could Tang Wuxia be careless.

"Mr. Gongsun, that dime is not the person we are looking for, what should we do now?"

"The information about Dingqian's case was deliberately covered up. How did the son-in-law determine that he was not the criminal?"

"I met an old man. He told me that Ding Qian was dead. They watched Ding Qian's body be buried. It should not be fake."

"Did the son-in-law find out what happened to the case of Dingqian? It's still the county magistrate."

"The old man said that Ding Qian and another family with the surname Yang were killed."

"Killed?"

"That's right, to be precise, he was burned to death, the owner of the only restaurant in the town."

Gongsun Ce suspected that there was something wrong with the restaurant early on.Such a small town is not on a transportation hub, and there are no places of interest for people to visit.How could someone be stupid enough to open a restaurant of this size here.

"That's a gold selling cave." Tang Wuxia took a sip of water and continued.

"No wonder." Gongsun Ce showed a clear expression after hearing this, and then seemed to think of something: "My son-in-law, you just said that two families were burned to death?"

"That's right, according to the old man, there are two families, one family's surname is Ding, and the other's surname is Yang."

"But there is only one family hidden in those files."

"Only one?"

"That's right, I've read all those files. Although the information of Ding Qian's family was deliberately erased, traces can still be seen, but I didn't find that the information of another family was also erased."

"It seems that there are two forces behind this case, and the force that erased the Yang family's information is obviously more sophisticated than the one behind the Ding family."

"My son-in-law, you said that the fire in the Yang family was more intense at that time?"

"That's right, according to the old man, the Yang family was on fire at that time, and there was no way to go in to save people. When the corpses of the Yang family were carried out, they couldn't recognize who they were."

"My son-in-law, do you think it is possible that the person who set the fire was actually going to burn the Yang family, and the Ding family was just affected."
