    Ling Hai picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish.


    The fish meat wrapped in red oil looked rosy.


    He mustered his courage and ced the fish in his mouth.


    The moment he bit down, a strong spicy taste exploded in his mouth, right on the heels of which was a strong numbness. He felt his tongue and the inner walls of his mouth tremble.


    His face immediately turned red. He hurriedly put down his chopsticks, picked up the teacup, and poured water into his mouth.


    After drinking the water, he still felt that it was spicy. He took a deep breath and did not dare to close his mouth.


    How was this not spicy?


    This was explosively spicy!


    Seeing this, Vige Head Zhang was very worried. “Are you alright?”


    Ling Hai cried from the spiciness.


    He said with difficulty, “It’s too spicy. It’s really too spicy.”


    What Vige Head Zhang had said just now was the truth. This bit of spicy taste was indeed nothing to them. What he did not expect was that Ling Hai could not even withstand a little spicy taste.


    He asked his youngest son to scoop a bowl of soup for Ling Hai and got his eldest daughter-inw to cook fragrant yam and steamed pork ribs. In addition, he cut a te of cured sausages made by his family.


    Neither of these dishes was filled with chili. Xiao Juan and Linghai could eat them at ease.


    He even felt almost in awe of the Bashu people. To be able to eat such spicy food without changing his expression, they were really heroes!


    Before they left, Vige Head Zhang told Yu Niaoniao Old Lady Sun’s address and reminded her that if she encountered any trouble, she could look for him at any time.


    Yu Niaoniao and the others left the Zhang family and rode back to the city.


    Because she had met an old friend she had not seen for a long time and had eaten food filled with nostalgia, her mood became much more rxed. She finally did not dream again tonight.


    She leaned into Xiao Juan’s arms and slept soundly.


    The next morning, they decided to split up.


    Lo Pingsha brought Ling Hai out of the city. They nned to search the surroundings of the old Feng residence to see if they could find any useful clues.


    Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan prepared to go to the Sun family.


    The Sun family lived in a small vige under Jinguan City. They had to leave the city first and ride for two hours before finding the vige.


    They got off the horse and entered the vige to find someone to ask how to get to the Sun family.


    Unexpectedly, the viger looked at them strangely and asked, “Where are you from? Why are you asking about this?”


    He seemed very vignt.


    Yu Niaoniao said, “I’m Feng Lianghan’s daughter. I used to know Old Madam Sun. I came back this time to pay my respects to Old Madam Sun and meet her descendants.”


    Feng Lianghan’s name was very useful in the entire Bashu.


    As expected, after the viger learned Yu Niaoniao’s identity, his attitude immediately became much friendlier.


    “So you’re the daughter of Feng Dashan’s family! The Sun family you’re looking for lives at the east end of the vige. If you walk along this road, you’ll see his house. However, it’s useless even if you find his house.”


    At this point, the viger heaved a long sigh, looking very regretful. Yu Niaoniao’s heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling and hurriedly asked. “Did something happen to the Sun family?”


    The viger sighed. “This is really unlucky. During the new year, Sun Dng apanied his wife back to her parents’ house to pay a visit. At that time, he brought their children over. Unexpectedly, halfway through, the donkey suddenly ran around crazily and the cart flipped down the hill. When they were discovered, the corpses of their family were already rotten.”


    Yu Niaoniao’s heart sank.


    They were a step toote.


    The only clue was cut off just like that.


    But even so, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan still decided to go to the Sun family to take a look.


    The Sun family’s courtyard door was locked from the outside. Yu Niaoniao went to the vige chief to get the key and opened the courtyard door.


    Weeds had already grown in the courtyard, and the furniture in the house was already dusty. It looked very cold.


    No matter how they looked at it, this was just an ordinary small courtyard. They could not find any clues.


    Yu Niaoniao stood in the deste courtyard and muttered.


    “I followed Li Niang’s trail and found out that Sun Dng’s family was dead. Is all of this really a coincidence?”


    Xiao Juan asked, “What do you think?”


    Yu Niaoniao retracted her fingers bit by bit and clenched her fists.


    “I don’t think it’s a coincidence. Someone must have been afraid that we would find out the truth and deliberately killed them to silence them.”


    Xiao Juan said, “If you want to know if it’s a coincidence, you’ll know after checking.”


    Yu Niaoniao looked at him. “How?”


    Xiao Juan said, “Something happened to Sun Dng’s family because the donkey suddenly went crazy. Why did the donkey go crazy and run around?”


    Yu Niaoniao suddenly remembered that she had seen a dpidated cart rack in the backyard. She immediately turned around and ran towards the backyard.


    Xiao Juan followed closely.


    The two of them found the broken cart in the cowshed in the backyard.


    The cart was covered in damage, and the wheels had deformed. It looked like it had been hit violently.


    This should be the donkey cart that Sun Dng’s family was riding.


    The donkey had been disposed of, but the cart was still here.


    Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan leaned over to take a closer look, but they did not find anything unusual.


    They did not give up. Then, they went to look for the vige chief and asked about the details of Sun Dng’s family’s ident.


    When the vige chief learned that Yu Niaoniao was Feng Lianghan’s daughter, he was very cooperative and answered almost every question.


    After his description, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan realized that no one had personally witnessed Sun Dng’s family encounter an ident. Everyone had inferred the cause of death from the situation at the event location when they discovered Sun Dng’s family’s corpse.


    After that, the government also sent a coroner to check the remains of Sun Dng’s family, proving that they had died from falling down the hill and being seriously injured.


    All of this did not seem to be a problem.


    Yu Niaoniao could not help but feel disappointed. Could it be that she was thinking too much?


    At this moment, Xiao Juan suddenly asked.


    “What happened to Sun Dng’s donkey cartter?”


    The vige chief said truthfully, “The donkey has already fallen to its death, and its carcass was rotting. It was definitely not edible and can only be buried on the spot. As for the cart, it was sent back to Sun Dng’s house and left in his backyard.”


    Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan looked at each other. The two of them did not say anything, but they tacitly decided to go to the crime scene to take a look.


    They asked the vige chief for the exact location of the crime scene and left the vige.


    The two of them rode for a long distance. After a fewparisons, they finally found the location of the crime that the vige chief had mentioned.


    It was spring now, and the hillside was filled with tender green weeds.


    Xiao Juan tied the horse up and walked down the hill with the shovel in one hand and Yu Niaoniao’s hand in the other.


    The two of them searched as they walked and found many traces left behind by the donkey cart.


    In the end, they arrived at the ce where the donkey’s carcass was buried.


    Xiao Juan used the shovel to dig open the soil and quickly saw the rotten donkey carcass.


    Yu Niaoniao endured nausea and took out a donkey bone. She quickly wrapped it in fabric.


    Then, Xiao Juan filled the soil back in..
