Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 239 Death of Cousin (2)

The next morning, Ning Wan'er cried her heart out.

Xiaojuan did not dare to hide anything and told Ning Shen everything.

Ning Shen almost fainted from anger, but in order to save face, he had to go to Song Wenjie alone and tell him that he agreed to their marriage.

Unexpectedly, Song Wenjie actually raised the price, saying that if a woman like Ning Wan'er who lost her virginity before marriage wanted to marry into the Song family, Ning Shen must give half of the family property as a dowry.

Ning Shen was so angry that he turned against Song Wenjie and said that he would never marry Ning Wan'er to someone like him. At most he would support Ning Wan'er for the rest of her life.

If Song Wenjie dared to tell anyone, he would order his arrest.

Song Wenjie didn't expect that he would end up with nothing, so he held a grudge and looked towards the garden again and again, muttering bitterly that he wanted revenge.

He was very familiar with the mansion and could easily sneak into the garden and kill Ning Wan'er.

It’s just that Ning Shen takes his reputation too seriously. He was afraid that the news of Ning Wan’er being molested would get out, so he went so far as to cover up the truth.

Ning Ning stroked her chin, "How did they agree on a time for their private meeting?"

"There is a tiny crack in the garden wall that is invisible if you don't pay attention. Every time we have a date, the lady writes the time on a piece of paper, and I secretly put it into the crack at dawn, and Song Wenjie will come to take it."

Ning Ning, "Let's go, let's go find your master right now. We can't let the murderer go unpunished!"

When I arrived at Ning Shen's study, the light was still on. That's right, no one could sleep soundly after something like this happened.

Ning Shen was surprised to see Ning Ning bringing Xiao Juan over.

Ning Ning explained what happened to him, "Uncle, even though Wan'er did something a little out of line, she is the biggest victim. We can't let her murderer go!"

Ning Shen covered his face and sighed, "In the final analysis, this matter is Wan'er's own fault. If she hadn't met a stranger at night, how could she be abused? Alas, this child, I have taught her carefully since she was a child, not allowing her to take one more step or say one more word. She has always been well-behaved, how could I have thought that she would do such a thing that would bring disgrace to the family? Well, since you know it, I won't hide it. Let's go and settle the score with him! But you must not make it known about Wan'er's affairs."

"Of course not. Wan'er is my cousin. This is related to the reputation of the Ning family. How could I say anything nonsense!"

Ning Shen nodded and took Ning Ning to find Song Wenjie.

Song Wenjie's home was only separated from the prefectural government by an alley, and it was reached in a flash.

The Song family's house is quite large, and it's obvious that they were once prosperous, but now it's in a state of decline. Except for a few rooms where people live, all other doors are locked, and the yard is overgrown with weeds. Only Song Wenjie and a lame old servant live together.

When he heard that we were coming, Song Wenjie staggered out and grabbed Ning Shen's hand, "Sir, your servants wouldn't let me in. I heard them say that Wan'er was dead. Is that true?"

Ning Shen shook him off, took out his handkerchief and wiped it desperately, "You are the one who killed her, why are you asking me this question when you know the answer?"

Song Wenjie howled to the sky, tears streaming down his face, and kept shouting "Wan'er, Wan'er" like a madman.

Even though Ning Shen and Xiao Juan described this guy as a bastard, he didn't seem to be pretending, which made people feel a little sympathetic towards him.

Looking around, there were several paintings of ladies hanging on the wall, but the women in the paintings did not have facial features. However, from her stature and clothing, it could be identified that it was Ning Wan'er.

Ning Shen was unmoved. He pointed at Song Wenjie and said, "Stop pretending, murderer. My nephew Ning Ning has already found out the truth. If you surrender, he won't say anything. Otherwise, the government will be notified and the coroner will come to perform an autopsy. Then the fact that Wan'er lost her virginity will be exposed. You have already killed Wan'er. Do you want her to lose her reputation again, be despised by others, and not even be able to enter the ancestral tomb? If it weren't for you, how could she have ended up like this?"

Song Wenjie burst into tears and nodded repeatedly, "You are right, I harmed Wan'er. I plead guilty, I killed her."

"Okay, since our two families are old friends, I'll give you a few hours to sort out your family affairs. We'll take you to jail the next morning."

Ning Shen left with his sleeves swung, and on the way he said to Ning Ning, "The city gates are already closed, we are not afraid that this guy will escape, so let's just give him a break. Alas, Wan'er, I was foolish, and I wanted to let the murderer who hurt you go. Fortunately, Ning, you woke me up, so that Wan'er would not die unjustly."

He showed a look of relief, but Ning Ning secretly asked the system, "Song Wenjie is the murderer? But those paintings were so detailed and full of affection, and they didn't even paint her face in case she was recognized and it would damage her reputation. Would someone who cherishes Ning Wan'er so much do such a thing?"

The system's tone was cold, "You have to find out the truth yourself, otherwise it's up to you or me to do this task."

"Of course I will do it. But you have to play a role as well. Just listen to me talk and help me sort out my thoughts."

As they were talking, they had already returned to the prefectural government. Even if the murderer was found, Ning Shen had lost his beloved daughter after all. He still looked sad and angry, and his face looked very bad. He went back to his room to rest.

Ning Ning took advantage of the gradually brightening sky and ran to take a closer look at the garden wall.

The system couldn't help but ask, "Hey, are you trying to read the wall's face? No, you're touching it with your hands. Are you trying to feel its bones?"

"Don't interrupt me, or you can help me find the crack."

The system ignored him. After a while, Ning Ning found the tiny gap that Xiaojuan mentioned. It was indeed very difficult to find.

Then, he followed the narrow crack and began to search among the flowers and plants nearby.
