When they returned to Chen Ba's house, the Chen family's village head was already waiting for them in the courtyard.
”Village Chief Chen, Chen Ba is gone, is there no one in your village who can take care of his mother?” Su Li asked.
Chen Village Chief sighed, ”Chen Ba didn't learn well when he was still alive, and he has caused countless of troubles for the villagers. The villagers hated him so much that their teeth itched, who would be willing to take care of his mother?”
Su Li indicated for Song Lai to take out the bag. She weighed it in her hand and saw that there seemed to be a lot of silver left in the bag.
Thinking about it, she threw the bag over to the village chief, ”Fifth Prince is watching here, I believe you don't dare to play any tricks. The money in this bag is quite a bit, it's enough for you to take care of Chen Ba's mother's three meals a day.”
The village chief took the bag and nodded his head vigorously, ”If you dare to play any tricks, I will definitely take good care of old mother Chen Ba.”
Seeing that the village chief was honest, Su Li did not say much and instructed the official to visit the village. He asked if any strangers appeared in the Chen Family Village, and if the person who buried the dregs was not Chen Ba, then it was very likely to be the killer.
As for her, Mo Lianjin and Song Lai, the village chief led them to the third person, Chen Shuisheng's home.
Chen Shuisheng was the third oldest at home, living with his parents and brothers. When Su Li went to live, his wife was being scolded by her sister-in-law.
Hearing that the village chief introduced them as the Fifth Prince, the two women immediately knelt down and kowtowed, afraid to make a sound.
Su Li cleared his throat and said, ”We are here because of Chen Shui Sheng's case, could little aunt bring us to her room to take a look?”
Chen Shuisheng's wife trembled as she stood up and brought them into a room.
Su Li looked around, and knew that it was impossible to find new clues. Chen Shui Sheng's house was not like Chen Ba's, no matter if it was the house or the stove, they were all tidied up every day.
”Sit down, sister-in-law. I just want to ask you a few questions.” Su Li smiled at her and took the seat first.
”I can't, just stand and answer.”
Su Li helplessly, and could only go straight to the point, ”Recall, on the day your man died, did you take any medicine?”
The woman looked at Su Li in shock, then quickly lowered her head and asked, ”How does young lady know that my husband took the medicine that day?”
”Where did you get that medicine?”
”About ten days ago, a barefoot doctor came to the village. My husband …”
The woman nervously wrung her hands, not saying anything for a long time.
”If sister-in-law has something to say, just say it.” Su Li spoke softly, trying to give the woman a sense of security.
”My husband, he … My husband didn't have a very good health these days. Unlike before, when the barefoot doctor had some aphrodisiac medicine, my husband bought one. ”
