Chapter Seventy-Four: The Gap
This night, Hua Lianyue got into the quilt early in the morning. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info She was lying straight, her eyes slightly closed, and the autumn fragrance was embroidered with a large hibiscus futon, tightly wrapping her delicate body.
Yin Che opened the door curtain after washing and came in, and saw her looking like a sound agarwood. Yin Che pursed his lips and smiled, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you sleep so early today?"
Hua Lianyue didn't open her eyes, and only said vaguely: "I didn't sleep well last night, and I had a headache all day during the day, and I'm tired at this time, so you should rest early!"
Yin Che added enough charcoal to the brazier, and then blew out the candle on the table, and the room fell into darkness. She fumbled and took off her coat and pants, and lay down lightly beside Hua Liyue.
The dark room was silent, and Yin Che tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She heard Hua Lianyue's breathing beside her flickering and heavy, and she obviously didn't fall asleep. So she said softly, "Didn't you say that you were tired, why haven't you fallen asleep?"
After a pause, she teased again: "Could it be that I am afraid that someone will come to add charcoal at night." ”
In the dark night, Hua Lianyue only felt that her cheeks were hot, and she waited for a long time. Fang Cai whispered shyly: "Stinky girl, make fun of me again." ”
Yin Che chuckled and said, "I was also startled last night, and I thought it was a bold thief who dared to break into the yamen privately." ”
Speaking of this, Yin Che suddenly became interested, she stood up and looked at Hua Lianyue with blazing eyes, and said mysteriously: "Seriously, I have known Master Huo for several years, but I have never seen him so attentive to anyone. You say, is he ......?"
"Say no more!" Hua Lianyue, who had been closing her eyes tightly, suddenly interrupted her with a voice: "I just want to be a fast catcher quietly, and all I have around is extravagant hopes." ”
Although her tone was light, it made Yin Che stunned, and suddenly remembered that she had said that she would not live to be eighteen. These words were like a vicious spell, which made Yin Che silent.
Yin Che hated herself for speaking too often, she lay back silently, and then quietly held Hua Lianyue's hand in the bed.
Hua Lianyue was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. She gently patted the back of Yin Che's hand and said, "Go to sleep! Didn't you say that you would take me out to investigate the case tomorrow!"
When she woke up the next morning, Hua Liyue felt that her spirit had almost recovered. She pushed open the window, and a cold breath instantly blew away the turbidity in the room. As far as the eye can see, the eyes are full of warm golden sunlight.
The sunlight fell on her face through the layers of leaves, forming countless faint flickering spots of light, shaking her eyes.
Hua Lianyue narrowed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "On such a good day, it is still suitable for walking outside." ”
Yin Che smiled in the room: "Don't chatter, didn't I promise to take you out today!" She looked at the brazier that burned red and dazzling even after the night, and smiled.
Because they were going to go out, both of them changed into light men's clothes. Yin Che wore a royal blue muslin jacket with a black ribbon around his waist, showing a thin waist and plump hips, and his figure was very hot.
Hua Lianyue is a bamboo pattern round-necked cotton robe with lotus leaves, a ribbon with auspicious cloud pattern at the waist, and a very festive magpie Dengmei purse is hung in the bag. The head is full of green silk and is simply tied on the top of the head, and there is a circle of white velvet rabbit skin forehead protection around the forehead, which looks warm and cute.
After the two of them finished grooming and left the West Cross Courtyard, they happened to meet Huo Lianjue, who was also about to go out. He is wearing an official uniform today, with Master Zhang and a few officials, and it seems that he has official business.
Hearing that Yin Che and Hua Liyue were also preparing to go out, he ordered Ada to follow them. Now that the big pair and the small pair are not there, Yin Che has a big temperament, and multiple people can take care of one or two.
Hua Lianyue wanted to excuse herself, but Yin Che agreed loudly. According to her words, it is good to have multiple little followers who run errands and get things.
Finally out of the county gate, walking in the lively street market, Hua Lianyue has a feeling of being in a different world. The poison that night, without warning, was more violent than ever, and she didn't even have a chance to call for help. At that moment, even she was desperate, and she always felt that she couldn't get through this level.
Who knew that Lord Yan still didn't want to accept her little life, so he pushed her back, who had already stepped on the Nai He Bridge with one foot. Now bathed in the sunshine and listening to the noisy sounds of the market around her, Hua Lianyue has a sense of happiness to have picked up a life. Since he didn't die this time, he naturally had to eat, drink and have fun recklessly, so as to live up to his escape from death this time.
Although it was a relatively depressed winter day, it was a rare sunny day. The market is still full of people coming and going, and it is very bustling and lively. In addition to the locals of the county, there are also many foreign businessmen swaggering on the streets. From time to time, the shops on both sides of the road waft out the tempting aroma of various pastries, cooked food, braised vegetables, and fine wine, which makes the stomach salivate for a few days.
Hua Lianyue took Yin Che, Ada looked for the fragrance and got into a restaurant with a good business, asked for a private room, and ordered a table of food.
Crispy chicken, osmanthus fish sticks, eight-treasure rabbit dice, duck tongue soup, chicken shoot porridge, white flour dumplings, assorted fire ...... A table was filled. Yin Che is okay, he has long been surprised. Ada, who only earns six dollars of silver in January, was dumbfounded and secretly swallowed saliva.
"You're still a man, what's the matter. Seeing that his face was restrained, Hua Lianyue couldn't help but smile and stuffed the bamboo chopsticks into his hand, and said, "Yin Zhutou and I can't eat these, you have to let go of your belly and eat them all." Hearing her say this, Ada smiled and buried himself in eating.
After eating the smooth osmanthus fish sticks with chopsticks and eating them slowly, Hua Lianyue asked casually: "Where do we start to check now?" The flower thief seems to have disappeared during this time, and I don't know if he has left Meiling County. ”
When it comes to this flower thief, Hua Lianyue has hidden worries in her heart. If he has already left Meiling County, I am afraid that he will return to the sea like a fish, and the birds will be thrown into the mountains and forests, and he will never be found again. I only hated that Wu Qingfeng had a good show that day, otherwise I would have caught the flower thief a long time ago.
Yin Che poured her a cup of fragrant Junshan Silver Needle, and said comfortingly, "The case of the flower thief is not in a hurry first, Lord Huo wants to investigate the case of throwing the corpse first." After all, three people died, and if the case can't be solved as soon as possible, it will be difficult for the criminal department to explain. ”
Hua Lianyue Qi said: "Didn't you say that Yan Dang was the murderer who killed and threw the corpse? Now that everyone else is dead, is there still a need to investigate this case?"
Speaking of this, Hua Lianyue felt a little annoyed in her heart. She swore that she wanted to be a fast catcher and wanted to solve problems for Huo Lianjue. But there were two cases in a row, but each case made her feel helpless. There is a strong sense of frustration that a dog gnaws on a hedgehog and can't get out of his mouth.
Yin Che said: "You have been sick for the past few days, and we haven't talked to you in detail. In fact, Master Huo and I both feel that there must be more than one person who kills people and throws corpses. If nothing else, let's just say that the three deceased were all adult men, all of them were stronger and taller than Yandang, and he really couldn't complete the sadism, murder, and throwing corpses alone, and this series of actions was not discovered, and there must be someone to help. ”
After patiently explaining to Hua Lianyue, Yin Che asked Ada, "What have you discovered in the past few days?"
Ada raised his head from the rice bowl, he wiped the oily corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "There have been brothers on Yizhuang's side who have been secretly watching, and no one has really gone to claim the body." It can be seen that this wild goose wanders here alone and has no other companions, or his companions have given up on him when they see that the situation is not good.
Also, as you said, our brothers have been searching for someone in the middle of the river where the corpse floats. Sure enough, a villager was found, and it is said that he had seen a suspicious carriage stop by the lake early in the morning, and pushed down three bulging sacks into the lake. The sack was very heavy, and when it fell into the lake, there was a lot of movement, which made him look at it a few more times. According to his description, the posture of the person who threw the sack did not match the goose swing.
"Well, this is an extremely important discovery. Yin Che's eyes lit up when he heard this. She patted Ada on the shoulder and praised without hesitation: "If this case can be solved, you should take the first credit." ”
Ada touched his head and smiled, and said, "This is also Yin Zhutou pointing out the way, let's just follow it, it's not a big achievement." ”
Yin Che smiled: "I can't see it, you kid is quite humble." Don't worry, if this corpse dumping case is solved, even if you adults don't give a reward, I won't let you work in vain. ”
Ada smiled and said nothing, but Hua Lianyue couldn't help but be in awe when she heard it.
Yin Che has been by her side for the past few days, but she didn't expect that she would always keep the case in mind, and she had already arranged for the staff to start adjusting in an orderly manner. If it weren't for her poor health that dragged her down, I'm afraid that the progress of the case would have gone more smoothly.
Alas, I felt that the case was confusing like a mess, and I figured out the clue in three or two clicks when it came to her hands. The gap between this fast catch and head catcher is inevitably too big!
