After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the food lovers all over the country were shocked

Chapter 460 Something is wrong

Before tea was served, the bailiff brought in a young man.

The young man looked pale and frightened, as if he had been quite frightened.

He stepped forward and knelt down: "Meet the adults."

General Xie immediately noticed the obvious handprint on the young man's throat, which should have been left by someone strangling him hard.

Moreover, the perpetrator is quite strong.

"Get up and talk."

The young man stood up and said, "Thank you, sir."

General Xie: "What is your name, and what is your relationship with the person who attacked you?"

In fact, when Magistrate Li sent someone to notify General Xie, he also gave some general information about the situation.

But he only said that the victim and his attacker knew each other, and didn't say much else.

No matter what, General Xie and Ning Yu will ask the victim some questions.

Because the specific circumstances are only known to the victim and the person who attacked him.

Young man: "My Lord, my name is Zhang Yan, and I am a student at Jinyun Private School. The man who attacked me is Lin Sheng, and he is my classmate."

Ning Yu raised her eyes and looked at him: "Why did Lin Sheng attack you? Is there a feud between you two?"

Although the specific situation is still unknown, just by looking at the pinch marks on Zhang Yan's neck, one can tell that Lin Sheng wants to kill him.

If the two people have a grudge against each other, then it's fine.

If there is no grudge, it might be related to that incident.

Zhang Yan shook his head: "Although our relationship is not close, we don't have any conflicts. We still say hello to each other when we see each other on weekdays."

Ning Yu frowned slightly: "Tell us the details of what happened at that time."

Zhang Yan nodded and began to narrate the whole incident: "At that time, I went to a bookstore to buy a book and was about to go back. When I passed by Yunfu Lane, I saw Lin Sheng. I greeted him as usual..."

When the bailiff brought him here just now, he had already told him that the person inside was a high-ranking official from the capital.

No matter what the official asks, you have to answer it in detail.

The more detailed the better.

Zhang Yan paused, as if he thought of something.

"Oh, Lin Sheng's expression was not right at that time, but I didn't think much about it and went up to greet him. I wanted to say hello and leave as usual. But Lin Sheng suddenly stopped me and said that I stole his book."

Ning Yu asked: "What book? Is it the book you had in your hand at that time?"

Zhang Yan nodded: "Yes, that's the book. Lin Sheng said he came to the bookstore to look for that book, and the shopkeeper said the last copy was bought by someone else. He insisted that I stole his book."

County Magistrate Li sat aside, listening quietly to the conversation between Zhang Yan and the two adults.

"Did he pinch you because of that book?"

Is it because of a book that Lin Sheng has to kill someone?

The bailiff who rescued Zhang Yan at that time recalled that Lin Sheng looked thin but was extremely strong.

It took several people in their group to pull Lin Sheng away.

The bailiff still felt a little scared when he recalled the situation at that time.

Looking at Lin Sheng's expression at the time, it seemed like he wanted to kill Zhang Yan.

The bailiffs were patrolling nearby at the time and had actually patrolled that alley once before.

When I returned, I happened to hear a strange noise in the alley.

At first, they thought it was a cat.

Later I felt something was wrong, so I went in to see what was going on.

If they had left like that, Zhang Yan would probably have lost his life there.

Zhang Yan touched his neck. Although he had applied medicine, the place where he was pinched still hurt slightly.

"I also find it very strange. Although I don't interact with Lin Sheng much, in my impression, he has always been gentle and polite to others. He never quarrels with others, let alone fights. But at that time, he seemed like a different person."

"At that time, Lin Sheng grabbed my wrist and snatched the book from my hand. My hand was hurt, but I couldn't get rid of it. He was very strong, so strong that it was a bit scary..."

Zhang Yan had never seen Lin Sheng like this before, and he never thought that a book would make him so crazy.

The book was a travelogue, and it wasn't a rare copy that was hard to come by.

He clearly remembered that when he bought the book, there were several identical copies in the bookstore.

The situation was so urgent at the time that Zhang Yan had no time to think carefully.

He tried to have a good talk with Lin Sheng and find out what was going on.

If Lin Sheng really wanted that travelogue, he could also lend it to Lin Sheng first.

But Lin Sheng became more and more angry. In a rage, he raised his hand and grabbed Zhang Yan's neck.

Zhang Yan's whole body was clamped, his throat felt tight and breathing became increasingly difficult.

"I tried my best to pry his hands apart, but he was too strong. I couldn't get free at all."

This is also what Zhang Yan found strange. He was obviously stronger than Lin Sheng, but the hand that Lin Sheng put on his neck was like an iron clamp.

Even though Zhang Yan tried his best and used his hands and feet to attack Lin Sheng, he was still unwilling to let go.

For a moment, Zhang Yan even felt that he was about to suffocate to death.

General Xie frowned as he listened to Zhang Yan's description.

Lin Sheng's situation was almost exactly the same as Wang Zhao's at that time.

He is also a mild-tempered person who never quarrels with others.

For some unknown reason, he suddenly went mad.

However, Wang Zhao broke into the post station and injured people.

Lin Sheng hurt someone in the alley, and the victim was his classmate.

Zhang Yan took a deep breath and said, "The adults already know what happened next. Fortunately, the people from the county government were patrolling nearby and heard the noise and went in to rescue me. Otherwise, I would not be able to stand here now."

Ning Yu: "Besides the strange look on Lin Sheng's face, was there anything else wrong with him?"

Zhang Yan thought about it seriously: "His eyes were red, scary red. He was also mumbling something, but I couldn't hear it clearly."

He paused, and added: "Anyway, Lin Sheng looked like he was going insane at the time."

At that time, Zhang Yan's breathing became more and more difficult, his consciousness had begun to become a little blurry, and he was unable to pay attention to too many clues.

He could only try his best to recall that horrific moment and say what he remembered.

"correct!"

Zhang Yan suddenly recalled a detail: "When Lin Sheng rushed over to grab my book, I smelled a faint fragrance from him."

Ning Yu: "What's that smell?"

Zhang Yan: "It smells a bit weird, like medicine."

Medicinal fragrance?? !!

General Xie and Ning Yu exchanged glances. This was a new clue.

Before Ning Yu and General Xie could speak, Zhang Yan said, "I have a very good nose. I can tell what ordinary medicinal herbs are just by smelling them. But at that time, the smell of medicine on Lin Sheng was very faint and a little weird."

Seeing that General Xie and the other two were all looking at him, Zhang Yan explained, "My family runs a pharmacy. I followed my grandfather to make medicine since I was a child, and I know a lot of medicines. Sometimes my father would take me with him when he went to other places to buy medicinal materials. I have seen a lot of medicinal materials. But I have never smelled the smell on Lin Sheng."

At least he had never smelled that smell among the medicinal herbs he had come into contact with.

Thinking back now, Zhang Yan began to doubt whether it was the smell of medicine.

The taste is indeed a bit strange.

Jiang Jinrong held the teacup and looked at Jiang Huai beside him.

"Dad has been a little flustered lately. He always feels that something is wrong, and he doesn't know if Xiao Ran will get into trouble."

Jiang Jinrong finally breathed a sigh of relief since Marquis Wenxin agreed to help find Jiang Ran's whereabouts.

The Wenxinhou Mansion has many more information channels than his. As long as Wenxinhou is willing to intervene in this matter, I believe there will be news about Jiang Ran soon.

Sure enough, not long after, Marquis Wenxin brought news about Jiang Ran.

Marquis Wenxin said that Jiang Ran left Luzhou with a few new friends.

He also said that according to the information he received, Jiang Ran seemed to be heading towards the northwest.

When Jiang Jinrong heard what Marquis Wenxin said, he instantly realized that Jiang Ran must have gone to find Princess Lejia.

In his heart, he was angry at Jiang Ran for being ignorant, and also angry at Xiao Han for having taught his son bad things.

Instead of studying hard in the academy, he just makes friends with bad people.

He just believes everything he hears and has no judgment of his own.

When Wen Xinhou asked Jiang Jinrong if he knew why Jiang Ran was going to the northwest, Jiang Jinrong felt guilty and did not dare to tell him the contents of the letter that Jiang Ran had sent back.

Jiang Jinrong knew that Marquis Wenxin loved Princess Lejia very much, and if he knew that Jiang Ran was going to cause trouble for Princess Lejia.

Jiang Ran will definitely be severely punished when he comes back.

He did not dare to tell the truth to Marquis Wenxin, but pretended not to know.

Jiang Jinrong was thinking about waiting for Jiang Ran to come back and then teaching him well.

At least Jiang Ran will no longer be easily influenced by his biological mother and sister.

But after that, Marquis Wenxin never brought any news about Jiang Ran again.

Jiang Jinrong went to find Wen Xinhou, but he just said that he had not found Jiang Ran's exact location yet and asked Jiang Jinrong to wait a little longer.

The Northwest is very large, so it is normal that we cannot find Jiang Ran’s exact location for a while.

But for some reason, Jiang Jinrong still felt inexplicably uneasy.

Jiang Huai knew what Jiang Jinrong was worried about, and he comforted him slowly, "Dad, don't worry. Uncle never breaks his promise. Since he said he would help us find Xiao Ran, he will definitely do it."

Jiang Jinrong took a few sips of tea and calmed himself down.

"You're right, Dad thinks too much. He always scares himself."

Jiang Huai also took a sip of tea and sighed silently in his heart.

With my elder brother being like that and my father being distracted all day long because of Xiao Ran's affairs.

Xiao Ran is really too unreasonable. I have to teach him a lesson when I come back this time.
