Chapter 16: Lee is under suspicion

Ping'er put down the teacup and immediately chased after her, and saw Narcissus standing alone on the side of the road, looking very lost. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She glanced around, but didn't see Yiyun. "Gone?" asked Apple. Narcissus nodded without looking back.

Ping'er dragged him and said, "We have to go, let's go buy wine glasses first, and then go to the pharmacy, there's a lot to do." Narcissus turned to look at her, and silently followed.

As soon as the two of them entered the door of the pharmacy, "Huh......" Narcissus covered her nose with her hands and retreated, saying, "You can go in by yourself, I hate the smell of death." Apple's laugh and say, "What a taste." Just as he was about to drag him in, a guy ran out of it and apologized: "I'm sorry, our host is sick, and the medicine is boiling in the backyard, and the smell is a little heavier, please bear with me." ”

Narcissus shook her head, "It's okay, I'll just go out and wait." After saying that, he walked under a big tree in the distance, let go of his hand, took a few big breaths, leaned against the tree and began to observe the pedestrians coming and going.

In the distance, two sons in brocade clothes walked over, and they couldn't walk in a straight line at all, and they bumped into a lot of people with their feet, but their attitudes were not bad, and they apologized all the way to hit people all the way.

At this time, a young man came across from them, and was hit by them and lay on the ground, and the two people hurriedly helped the man up, bowing and apologizing, how much wine was drunk, and he was able to put down the shelf of the rich and noble son, and Narcissus leaned against the tree and looked at them.

The young man waved his hand and was not angry, Narcissus snickered, although he was not used to it, but after all, he was a peer, and he didn't want to expose that person, and kept watching him walk in his direction.

When the man walked to a place where there were few people, he took out a money bag from his chest, shook it, smiled contentedly, and walked forward.

Narcissus turned his head to look at the two sons who were walking away, sighed and said to himself, "It's really wrong to drink, no wonder Ping'er doesn't like it." Suddenly, he heard Ping'er call herself, and when she turned her head and called out, she called out "Wow", and Ping'er walked towards him with six large bags of herbs.

He looked at the herbs directly, moved his nose and said, "You treat me as a medicine jar, I only have occasional stomach pains, and there is nothing wrong at all." Ping'er ignored him and walked on, "Hey, do you want to open a medical hall and test my medicine? ”

Ping'er turned her head suddenly, and the two of them almost collided, "If you don't want to drink, quit drinking, otherwise don't talk." After saying that, he continued to walk, not waiting for Narcissus's answer at all, nor looking at his reaction.

The two of them walked to the bazaar one after the other, and Narcissus saw a small cart selling jewelry, which was in a good style, so he naturally stopped and looked. I saw a hairpin inlaid with duck egg blue jade, put it on my arm and compared it with my clothes.

"Is Childe going to give it to Lady?" asked the jewelry seller, and Narcissus looked at him, "Ahhh Shaking his head and nodding at Ping'er, before he could speak, a man suddenly rushed up to Ping'er and asked, "Ping'er, are you Ping'er?"

Ping'er took a step back in fright and began to look him up and down, the man pointing at herself with two fingers and shouting "I, I". Narcissus suddenly rushed between them, grabbed the man's arm with one hand and twisted it around, knocking him to the ground.

"Brother An Cheng. Apple's voice shouted. Narcissus was shocked when she heard this and turned back to look at her, the person in front of her was the person who had just stolen the money bag, and he was actually Ping'er's childhood sweetheart An Cheng.

Ping'er stepped forward to help Ancheng, Narcissus stood aside silently without speaking, and after helping them up, the two looked at each other, as if they had a lot to ask, and they didn't know where to start asking, they both lowered their heads and smiled.

Narcissus looked at them, wondering whether to tell Apple's what she had just seen. I am also a thief, and I really have no right to expose others, but I always feel that this person is different from myself, his eyes and walking posture are very much like a habitual thief.

Just as he was thinking about hearing Ping'er ask him what he was doing, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully. The man and a few brothers lived outside the city, mainly stepping on some mountain goods, hunting some prey to the village to exchange money or food, today into the city to find out, whether there will be a need for mountain goods and game in the city.

Hearing this, Ping'er became agitated, looked at Narcissus and said, "Childe, we need rabbits and pheasants there, right?" An Cheng also looked at Narcissus, he frowned and had no smile on his face, he really didn't understand why this person did it directly to himself, could it be that he was nervous, and pointed at Narcissus and asked who it was.

Ping'er smiled and began to introduce: "Brother An Cheng, this is my owner, the owner of Narcissus Residence, Narcissus Residence is a restaurant in the east of the city, you can go there next time to find me, and you can find a place by asking in the east of the city." After speaking, he looked at Narcissus, "This is Brother An Cheng that I often mention." ”

Narcissus also looked at An Cheng expressionlessly, An Cheng had already developed some hostility towards him, and neither of the two said hello. Although Ping'er was smiling, her eyes were full of tears, and she was so immersed in the joy of meeting her old friend that she didn't notice the unusual atmosphere.

Narcissus glanced around, pointed to the tea shop next to them and asked them to sit down and said slowly, it was inconvenient to block the middle of the road, so he went back first. After An Cheng saw Narcissus walk away, he leaked a very serious expression and persuaded Ping'er to leave him and stop being a maid for him. Ping'er blinks and asks him what's wrong, quickly explaining that Childe has no ill intentions and telling him not to be angry about what happened just now.

An Cheng shook his head, "I'm fine, just to remind you that the more good-looking people are, the less good they are, he didn't do anything to you, right?"

Ping'er was stunned for a moment, and he continued: "You are a girl's family, and you have been serving a man, I am afraid that you will suffer. Ping'er laughed and began to ask him how he had been doing all these years and what he planned to do in the future, and the two of them talked until dark.

When Ping'er returned to the Narcissus House, she unconsciously hummed a little song, and when she saw the guy with the food, she came over and asked which private room it was, and sent it to herself. The guy looked at her and scratched his head, and the housekeeper saw that he came over and said to the guy: "You have been here for a short time, so you haven't encountered this situation, this Ping'er girl will take the initiative to find work whenever she encounters something happy, you go to the kitchen and serve other dishes, it doesn't matter here." ”

Narcissus overheard their conversation in the private room, staring in the direction of the door and not daring to go out. Although he didn't know what they had been through, which made Ping'er always think about An Cheng, he knew that if they hadn't separated in the first place, they would have married in the future. Of course, it's a good thing that Ping'er can find her own happiness, but if Ancheng is really a habitual thief, Ping'er can't be happy.

Think about when I stole things, I was often found to be beaten half to death, if I didn't meet my father-in-law, I would be either beaten to death or sent to prison in the end, in short, there would be no good results. Now I have never had the luxury of hoping to be happy.

He thought about it for a while, and finally decided to observe for a while before considering whether to tell Ping'er, after all, it had been ten years, and maybe the two of them had no intention of getting married.

On the morning of the second day, when the four catchers were patrolling the streets, they all received orders from adults and were recalled to Jingzhao Mansion. When Li Zhutou walked into the hall, he saw a corpse in the middle, and he was performing an autopsy. He immediately became nervous, had a bad feeling, slowed down his pace and walked to the corpse to look, leaned back, turned around and stood to the side, looking out without asking or saying anything.

Yiyun glanced at him and said, "Li Zhutou recognizes it, this is Tian Wang, the head of the guard team at the South City Gate." Li Zhutou didn't look at him and nodded. Yiyun sensed his abnormality, and with his own understanding of him, he would not wait for everyone to arrive and then listen to the explanation, he would definitely conduct an autopsy himself, and ask some details when the body was found.

Just as he was about to ask, the other three catchers walked in together, and they were all very surprised to see the corpses, especially Zhang Catcher. He suddenly thought that Mrs. Tian was looking for him to talk about Tian Wang, but he didn't take it seriously, he felt very guilty, and coughed a few times while holding his chest. Yiyun looked at them, thinking that this was a normal reaction.

In the process of explaining, Yiyun kept staring at Li Zhutou. The body was found near the river, apparently blistered, and the cause of death was choking. The river water is cold during this season, and even a person who can swim can be life-threatening if he stays in the water for a long time.

Tian Wang's body had multiple bruises on it, with marks of impact on his head, and strangulation marks on his hands and feet. However, no rope was found on the body, so it must have been knocked unconscious and thrown into the river, as for the strangulation marks, it should have been caused before death.

Lord Shui asked everyone to talk about their thoughts, and they could only analyze this. Zhou Zhutou spoke first and said: "My lord, Xu Zhutou and I have also heard about the military jacket a few days ago. If Tian Wang didn't commit suicide, it must have something to do with it, his behavior is too easy to offend people. ”

Zhang Zhutou denied his idea and said: "Master Yang has not suffered a loss in this matter, at most, the ten things we destroyed must be redone, so as not to go to the step of killing." Tian Wang had been a bandit before, could it be someone who had an enmity with him to do it. ”

The three catchers and the water lord began to discuss, and Li catcher and Yiyun seemed to be isolated from the world. Li Zhutou didn't say anything and looked at the corpse blankly, and he didn't seem to hear what others were saying, so Yiyun stared at Li Zhutou deadly.

Lord Shui didn't expect Master Yang to be so bold, because Guanyin deceived him of a thousand taels and had a killing intent. But the whole thing can't be exposed, just like Zhang Zhutou said, he didn't suffer a loss, and naturally he had no motive to kill.

The adults stood up and handed over the written report to the two young Yin, and the case was handed over to them, and several heads of arrest were ready to assist them in collecting evidence. Li Zhutou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, often cases that adults don't pay attention to will be handed over to the two young Yin, and the ability of the two of them to do things can't be found on their heads.

Master Shui was just about to walk out of the door when he turned his head to look at Zhang Zhutou and asked him to go to Tian's house to tell his wife Tian Wang. "I'll go", Li Zhutou shouted, everyone looked at him, he was stunned for a moment, "I, Tian Wang and I have also drunk a few times, and I know my wife." Zhang Zhutou just didn't want to go, so he walked up to him and patted him, "Thank you brother." ”

Li Zhutou walked out of the hall with his head down, Yiyun followed, stopped him in the courtyard and asked, "Li Zhutou didn't say a word from the time he saw the corpse to the time everyone started to discuss the cause of Tian Wang's death, didn't he have any ideas?"
