Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Cave Skeleton (3)

The fire was too big, and it was an old wooden house, and the fire came together, and it was too late to wait for the neighbors to bring water to put it out. But after half an hour, the fire could not be saved, and Mingyue could only watch it be burned to ashes.

At this time, Bai Shui and Qin Fang had already arrived at the Su family, but they heard that Su Yunkai had not come back yet, and they came out from here again. As soon as he got out of the alley, he saw Su Yunkai coming.

"Brother-in-law." Qin Fang saw that Mingyue was not beside him and asked, "Where is Mingyue?" ”

"We went to Qin's house and didn't find you, so we went home separately in two ways. It's just right, let's go to Mingyue's house together. Su Yunkai saw that Bai Shui was still wearing the torn official uniform, and said, "There is a tailor shop on the way there, let's go there and buy plainclothes first." ”

Bai Shui walked with him and asked, "My lord, where is my brother?" ”

"He is still in the Criminal Department, because neither Mingyue nor I are from the Criminal Department, so we have no right to take him away. I promise you that when the case is over, I will bring him out. ”

Bai Shui nodded lightly, without saying much, she said again, "My lord...... Can you help me......"

The voice was so weak that it was not as good as the Bai Shui that Su Yunkai knew, although Bai Shui was a girl, what she did and could do was far better than most people in the yamen. No matter how hard and tired she was, she didn't say anything in this tone.

When people are extremely tired, even their hearts become fragile. Su Yunkai said, "I will help you, even if you lose the black gauze hat on my head, I will help you." ”

Bai Shui's eyes were slightly wet, "Thank you......"

With Su Yunkai's promise, Bai Shui was half relieved. She didn't want Qin Fang to meddle in this matter, just because his identity was different from Su Yunkai's, she couldn't push it away, and he wouldn't listen to it at all.

After crossing another street, you will arrive at the Bai family, but this person is still far away, and Su Yunkai saw that there was smoke floating in the direction of the Bai family, and there were people running over there. He felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly grabbed one of them and asked, "What happened over there?" ”

The man replied, "I heard that the water is gone, and the neighborhoods are so close that they have burned down several houses." ”

When Su Yunkai heard this, he hurriedly ran over there. Running to the alley, looking from a distance, it can be seen that the first fire broke out was the Bai Shui family, just because the Bai family was almost burned to ashes, and the houses on the left and right sides had just burned half.

"Bright Moon."

He was about to run inside, but was suddenly grabbed by someone, "Brother Su." ”

He paused, and when he looked back, it was Mingyue.

Mingyue's face was covered with white ash, and her clothes looked like she had just come out to fight the fire, and she was a little dirty. He took her arm and took her a good look, "Are you hurt?" ”

"No, when I saw that the fire was too big, I ran out, and there was nothing at home anyway." Mingyue said, seeing that Qin Fang and Bai Shui were also there, she took Su Yunkai's hand and came out of the crowd, and motioned for the two of them to come out.

At this time, the people outside were watching, and when they walked a little farther into the street, there was no one left.

Su Yun lifted his sleeve and wiped her face, but the ash on her face became even dirtier when she wiped it. He wiped it with his hand again, almost blackening her face, and now he didn't dare to move. Mingyue was unaware and said, "Just now I was about to go home, and suddenly I heard a movement in the courtyard of Shuishui, but the door was closed, so I ran to the attic of the neighbor opposite, and saw two very good people coming out of Shuishui's house, and soon after they left from the courtyard wall, the fire in the house burst out. ”

Qin Fang was shocked, "Could it be that my father did it?" ”

Su Yunkai immediately guessed the meaning of his words, "Uncle Qin knows that Bai Zhutou is his daughter?" ”

Qin Fang thought for a while and shook his head, "It shouldn't be possible, my father entered the palace today, and he hasn't come back when I leave." My mother is even more impossible, she believes in Buddhism, and she doesn't kill a single ant, and it is even more impossible to do such a thing that is detrimental to yin morality. ”

Mingyue Fox said suspiciously, "Those two are very skilled, and they must be looking for something in the house, otherwise they won't be grinding for so long." You say, are they looking for something? ”

Bai Shui said, "I just came to Kaifeng not long ago, and I haven't been in charge of any cases alone, so it stands to reason that I don't have a chance to offend people." And I'm just a poor catcher, what is there to find. ”

offended people for no reason, and the four of them couldn't figure it out. But the more Su Yunkai thought about it, the more a cloud of doubt was expanding in his heart, so big that he couldn't erase it, "Could it be ...... Does anyone know that you are a relative of the White Shadow? ”

Bai Shui was stunned and couldn't help clenching his fists, "So this shows even more that my brother was really killed by someone." ”

Su Yunkai's face changed slightly, "Bai Shui, you hurry up and leave Kaifeng, Bai Ying is the head of Kaifeng, and the imperial court will have a file record." As long as you check the household registration in the ministry, you can know that he has a younger sister, and he may soon find out about your head. ”

Bai Shui said, "When I entered the yamen, I spent money to buy a household registration with someone, and I impersonated it, and I couldn't find my head, so don't worry." ”

"There is no impermeable wall in the world, you can spend money to buy a household registration, and others can spend money to find out. And other than that, I can't think of a reason why you'd be targeted in the first place. Su Yunkai was shocked to realize that this matter was not simple, and it was also a matter of being able to hastily understand the matter of a head-arresting case, where could it be simple, "You go back to Nanle County to avoid it first, and leave the matter here to me." ”

Bai Shui shook his head, "My lord, if it's really as you guessed, then I'm the best bait in this case...... As long as there is bait, the fish will take the bait. If I'm gone, the trail will be broken again. ”

Mingyue hurriedly said, "You still want to do this at this time, it's important to save your life, otherwise who will overturn the case for Brother Bai in the future?" ”

Bai Shui still shook her head, she knew that she had been targeted, so she couldn't leave. Even the murderer is likely to reappear, looking for her as a bait, "I can't go, and adults ...... Since those people have already run to my house, does that mean that they think that my brother gave me something important before he died, and that the murderer can be found according to that? ”

These words reminded Su Yunkai, "Has your brother ever given it?" ”

"No...... All I know is that five years ago, shortly after my brother disappeared, someone brought me a bag of silver. At that time, I thought it was made up by his brothers in the yamen, but I didn't expect to chat with the people in the yamen last time, and I realized that they hadn't sent it. ”

"What's in the silver?"

"No, only money. Later, I thought about it, maybe it was given by the girl my brother liked, because the handkerchief wrapped in silver and the faint fragrance of flowers seemed to be used by the girl. ”

Su Yunkai thought that Bai Ying might not have left any evidence for Bai Shui, just because Bai Ying died not long after being poisoned, and before that, he was still in the yamen early and returned late, as usual, there was no abnormality. It's just that the murderer doesn't know, and if there is a misunderstanding, it's uncertain. But it can also be shown that Bai Ying did find evidence that made the murderer panic at that time.

What the hell could that be?

Why is the dead white shadow holding a silver ingot in his hand?

The silver was still in his purse, and he had carried it with him, but he didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Bai Shui suddenly turned pale, took the knife from Qin Fang's hand, and looked vigilantly in the direction of the end of the street. The three of them looked up, and there were seven or eight people walking towards them, walking calmly, without concealment, facing each other.

Qin Fang retreated slightly, "Li Huyuan." ”

Li Huyuan led the eight people to the front of the four people, greeted Su Yun first, and then faced Qin Fang, "The master has an order, let the little young master go back." ”

Qin Fang shouted angrily, "Get out!" Go back! ”

Li Huyuan did not retreat or be timid, "Lord Guogong also said that if the young master resists, he will tie you back." ”

Su Yunkai said, "Uncle Qin, Qin Fang is with me, I will watch him and won't let him get into trouble." ”

Li Huyuan said, "Young Master and Young Master Su are together, our master must be relieved." It's just Young Master Su...... Our lord has a saying for the little one to give to you. If you still want to keep your subordinate surnamed Bai, don't meddle in the affairs of the Qin family, otherwise there will be a disturbance, not only will our young master be locked up, but this person surnamed Bai will also be locked up, and he will be locked up in a government prison. ”

It's an understatement, but it's full of threats. Su Yunkai realized that Yan Guogong already knew Bai Shui's identity, and even used it as a threat. It's just that he looks at the face of the Su family and has the intention to let Baishui go. But if he wants to go against the Qin family, he has to keep Qin and let him go, so don't hide Bai Shui's identity anymore.

Su Yunkai knew that Uncle Qin had always had the means to do things, and he was also resolute in doing things, and now he was able to conceal this matter temporarily, which really gave him enough face as a junior. He took it lightly, and then said to Qin Fang, "You go home first, and I will continue to work on this matter." ”

Qin Fang was unwilling, but his father's words were already there, and now that he was locked up, he would not expose Bai Shui's identity, nor would he prevent the Su family from continuing to investigate the case, if he was stubborn and did not return, it would also cause trouble to the progress of the case. After thinking about it, although he was reluctant to leave Baishui, he still said, "I'll go back, brother-in-law, you help me take care of her." ”

He said to Bai Shui again, "When I go back and convince my father, I will come to you, you have to take good care of yourself, you must also take medicine for your injuries, eat more meat for three meals a day, and the injuries can recover faster." ”

Bai Shui answered, and saw that he was taken away by the nursing home, but instead, he was ...... Breathe a sigh of relief.

Now that something like her brother happened, she had a hunch that it would be difficult for her to leave Kaifeng safely. Then he can't drag Qin Fang down anymore, after he returns to the Qin family, it's best not to see him again, this is better, and she can be more at ease and more desperate to track down the case.

It's just that she is sad in her heart after all, if she can, she also wants to leave here with him and find a place to live peacefully.

Mingyue held her hand, feeling sorry for this friend, and also distressed about the twists and turns of the marriage between the two.

The billowing smoke on the Bai family's side has not stopped, and the thick smoke in the alley has condensed into the sky, dyeing the nearby sky for half a mile black like clouds in the coming rainstorm, covering the sky and the sun, and diluting the heat of August.

Mingyue looked up at the dark sky, slowly retracted her gaze, and asked, "Where do we start investigating now?" ”

Su Yunkai twisted his eyebrows lightly and said, "Go to the summer resort." ”
