Chapter 15 Falling into the Water(2/2)

Tan Qianyang grabbed an onlooker and asked.

"It seems that he didn't jump into the river, but accidentally fell into the water. It didn't take long..."

Tan Qianyang doesn't know how to swim.

So, he said to the Tan family guard behind him: "Who knows how to swim? Hurry down to the river to save people!"

Immediately, two guards jumped into the river without saying a word.

Soon, the two guards dragged the woman to the shore.

However, the woman was no longer breathing and was dead.

Some of the people around seemed to know the woman.

"It's the wife of the Zhou family."

"Oh, what a crime. Mrs. Zhou's husband just died, and her only daughter was stolen by a burglar. She posted her daughter's portrait everywhere in the hope of finding her, but she accidentally fell into the water and died."

"It's so pitiful. I've also met Mrs. Zhou's daughter. Her name is Miaomiao. She is a well-behaved child."

"The snitch is still a nuisance. If the snitch hadn't stolen the child, Mrs. Zhou wouldn't have had to come to the river to look for the child at night. Naturally, she wouldn't have slipped and fallen into the water."

Many people in the crowd were filled with indignation. They felt pity for the Zhou family's wife and hated the thief who stole the child.

"Huh? Didn't that snitch steal from the rich and give to the poor? Isn't he said to be a righteous thief? How could he steal a child?"

Some people don't seem to know.

"Bah, what a righteous thief. The people in the Hou Mansion saw the thief stealing the child with their own eyes, how can it be false?"

"Yes, I heard about it too. The snitch has stolen several children in the past few days, and the government has offered a reward for their capture, but they have yet to capture the snitch."

"The snitch comes and goes without a trace. Who can catch him?"

Tan Qianyang frowned when he heard this.

How does this matter have anything to do with Snitch?

Besides, why would a snitch steal a child for no reason?

But looking at the people around him talking about it, it doesn't seem to be false.

Tan Qianyang grabbed the woman's wrist and felt for her pulse.

He has no pulse and is indeed dead.

However, Tan Qianyang found that the woman was tightly holding a paper ball in her hand.

Tan Qianyang opened the woman's hand hard and took out the paper ball.

The paper ball has been soaked in water and is somewhat tattered.

But the whole thing is still relatively complete.

Tan Qianyang slowly unfolded the ball of paper and found a portrait on it.

The portrait shows a little girl, about five or six years old, with braids and an innocent look.

The painting is extremely realistic.

"Miaomiao, this is Mrs. Zhou's child Miaomiao!"

Someone exclaimed.

"Miaomiao?"

Tan Qianyang looked at the portrait in his hand and then at the woman.

No wonder Madam Zhou would come to the river at night to look for her child.

There would be a lot of people by the river at night, and someone might have seen the child, so the woman came to the river to look for the child.

Unfortunately, he lost his footing and fell into the river.

At this moment, Tan Qianyang found a line of small words appearing in front of his eyes.

"A portrait that entrusts the hope of Mrs. Zhou's family."

"The eagerness to find a daughter makes a loving mother die."

"Finding Zhou Miaomiao and comforting the spirit of the Zhou family's lady in heaven may be a great reward!"

Tan Qianyang's heart trembled.

His hands held the portrait tightly.

Unexpectedly, the panel was "triggered" again by the Anyang River.

Looking at the corpse of Mrs. Zhou's wife, the other party still had her eyes open and refused to close her eyes.

Tan Qianyang stretched out his hand, touched the other person's eyes lightly, and then whispered softly: "Don't worry, I will help you find Miaomiao..."

Mrs. Zhou's eyes finally closed.

Tan Qianyang put away the portrait and asked Da Zhuang to send the body of the Zhou family's wife back to the Zhou family.
