The family was killed by their son. The murderer was called Huang Daniu.

Now, the four families had one thing in common.

Liu Sanniang asked him. Has Master Wu Ju gone to investigate?

Officer Zhang nodded. Master Wu Ju has already investigated it. Huang Daniu is a fool. He doesn't remember anything. He's just like Huang Jinzhi. Master Wu Ju said that we have to find the rest of the people who moved out of Huanghu Village.

Huang Daniu was a fool who couldn't even take care of himself and would not provide them with useful information.

Officer Zhang continued. The neighbors said that Huang Daniu's family moved there 20 years ago. They only had a retarded son and didn't give birth to another one in so many years. This family was quite liked by the villagers. Everyone had a good impression of them. They said that the family loved to help people and were kind-hearted. They don't know why Huang Daniu killed his parents with his own hands.

Officer Zhang also found it unbelievable that Huang Daniu would do such a thing. Even if Huang Daniu was a fool, the villagers did not seem to dislike him. Speaking of which, everyone said that it was a pity that they had such a foolish son. However, the Huang couple was considered to be rich. Even with a retarded son, their life was not too bad.

Most of the people in the village had been helped by the Huang couple. The villagers even wanted to find a wife for the fool, but the Huang couple rejected it. Although the reason wasn't told, everyone knew that it was because of Huang Daniu.

Huang Daniu was a fool, incapable of farming or making money. He was useless. The villagers assumed that the couple was kind-hearted and would rather have no descendants than let a girl marry their son and ruin her life.

Liu Sanniang went straight to the government office's morgue. Wei Shilai and Wu Ju were already there. When he saw Liu Sanniang, Wei Shilai was a little awkward because they did not inform Liu Sanniang when they went to Dayu Village this morning.

Wu Ju looked at Liu Sanniang and said, Miss Liu, you don't look very good. What's wrong?

Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang and asked with concern. What's wrong? Are you sick?

Liu Sanniang nodded. I think I caught a cold or drank something I shouldn't have. I had a fever.

Liu Sanniang glanced at Wu Ju. After seeing Wu Ju, she realized that there might be something wrong with the cup of tea he offered her.

She did not dream last night. Perhaps it was because Madam Wei had been watching over her. What she felt was Madam Wei's warm love.

She looked at Chu Yan, who was not far away, and quickly looked away awkwardly.

Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang and his eyes darkened.

Wei Shilai said, The weather is getting cold now. Miss Liu, you have to be careful.

Liu Sanniang nodded. She walked to the two corpses and reached out to touch and sense them.

As expected, she could only sense memories of daily life. There were no memories related to their deaths.

Liu Sanniang could feel that the couple lived a very peaceful life with their retarded son. Sometimes, when they were tired after coming back home, the retarded son, Huang Daniu, would pour a cup of tea for them. He was stupid and spilled the tea all the way. He was always dirty. No matter how cleanly he dressed up, he'd always end up being dirty.

Mrs. Huang would gently wipe the saliva from the corner of her son's mouth and the dirt on his face.

Liu Sanniang retracted her hand. She did not know how terrified and sad the Huang couple was before being murdered by their son.

Without his parents, what would happen to Huang Daniu?

Liu Sanniang said, They don't have any memories either.

Wei Shilai did not dare to look into Liu Sanniang's eyes. He said, I've already ordered to find the people who moved out of Huanghu Village. As soon as we find anyone, we'll rush over.

In the past few days, he could not sleep at all, troubled by the cases arising one after another. He only wanted to catch the murderer. Wei Shilai felt that something was wrong with him. The guilt in his heart made him not dare to look into Liu Sanniang's eyes again.

He felt extremely guilty for not informing Liu Sanniang this morning. Facing Liu Sanniang's sharp eyes, he felt his face burning.

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Now she just had to wait for news.

After coming out of the morgue, Wei Shilai suddenly instructed Wu Ju. Master Wu Ju, can you take a look at the four murderers again?

Wu Ju looked at Wei Shilai and nodded. Sure, I'll go take a look now.

After Wu Ju left, Wei Shilai thought for a while. He looked at Liu Sanniang and then looked away before finally saying. Miss Liu, can we talk in private?

Liu Sanniang nodded, and Wei Shilai heaved a sigh of relief.

When they reached the back of the main hall, Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang in shame. Miss Liu, I'm really sorry.

Liu Sanniang smiled. Sir, you don't have to apologize to me.

Wei Shilai shook his head. Miss Liu, to be honest, the first time I saw that monk, I felt very strange. The second time I saw him, I felt even more strange. I think you felt it too. Do you remember when I asked him if I could talk to him in private?

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Wei Shilai said, In my heart, you're a close friend who can stand side by side with me and I respect you. Therefore, I can't invite him in front of you. If I have any questions, I'll ask them directly. I feel very strange. Not only did I ask him for help, but I also started to neglect you.

Liu Sanniang frowned slightly. Wei Shilai was a good official. At this point, the first thing to do was to find out the murderer. Liu Sanniang did not think too much about Wei Shilai asking Wu Ju for help and neglecting her. She felt that Wu Ju was strange, but as long as he could be of some help to solving this case, she didn't care.

After Wei Shilai said that, Liu Sanniang felt that she had been negligent. She knew that Wei Shilai was a good official, but she did not know him as a person.
