Chapter 42 Persuade
In recent days, Kuroko and others have been very confused. A few days ago, Xue Tou, who was always urging them to go out and post portraits to find people, has not said a word in the past few days. What's even more strange is that after they say their doubts, Xue Er will change the topic. If it weren't for Xue Tou's behavior and speech as usual, Heizi would have planned to go to the temple to ask for a few talismans and stick them on his head to see if Xue Tou was possessed by something bad.
The sunspot who was patrolling the streets, thinking about Xue Tou's recent series of strange actions, gradually had some bad thoughts in his heart.
"Kuroko"
After hearing the familiar call, Kuroko turned his head and looked back, and when he saw that it was County Magistrate Xiao, he immediately stepped forward and bowed: "County Magistrate Xiao, I didn't just now"
Mayor Xiao waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Heizi's words, and asked with an angry face: "Xue Er, what about Xue Chengyong?"
Seeing the mayor like this, Heizi didn't dare to hide it, and honestly told him that Xue Er was still in the class room.
After Mayor Xiao learned where Xue Er was, he turned around and walked towards the class room. Seeing this situation, Heizi and Dalin secretly said that things were not good, but they didn't dare to stop County Magistrate Xiao, so they didn't continue to patrol the streets, but only anxiously followed County Magistrate Xiao, so that they could help Xue Tou at a critical moment.
By the time the two of them followed the two of them to the class room, Mayor Xiao had already entered the house. They just wanted to follow, but before their feet could get close to the threshold, Mayor Xiao slammed the door shut from the inside, and even they could feel a strong wind blowing through their faces.
This was the first time they had seen Xiao Zhen's temper so big, the two looked at each other worriedly, and after discussing it, they finally decided to stand at the door and eavesdrop.
"Xue Chengyong, what's going on with you lately, originally I thought you were just turning your mind for a while, but now, you don't investigate the case, you don't look for people, people, don't you want to do this errand?" Accompanied by Mayor Xiao's roar, there was also a 'bang' on the table, which shows the extent of the party's anger.
Unlike Mayor Xiao's angry scolding and roaring, Xue Er's side has indeed been quiet, and they didn't even hear a word of justification from the sunspots outside the house.
Probably realizing that he couldn't solve the problem by yelling like this, Mayor Xiao didn't continue to speak angrily, but paused for a while, eased his breath, and then said seriously: "Xue Er, I know the confusion in your heart, but you are not a flat-headed ordinary person outside, look at the clothes you are wearing, you are an official, and it is your obligation to arrest people." If you don't catch it, then maybe tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be people in the wilderness, can you bear to watch those people die? ”
Xue Er, who had been sitting in the corner and kept his head down, only reacted slightly when he heard this, although he still lowered his head so that people couldn't see his expression, but a low voice without a trace of emotion sounded at this time: "That's also because those people deserve to die." Mayor Xiao, maybe we have been wrong, if we really catch the murderer, won't those hooligans be protected, and won't the people suffer? What are we doing, that is, to protect the people, but now we have to protect the hooligans, I can't accept such a thing."
"Let your mother's stinky fart" Hearing Xue Er's heresy, Mayor Xiao's anger that he had just suppressed rose again, picked up the quilt on the table and smashed it in Xue Er's direction.
Stroking his heaving chest, Xiao Zhen pointed at Xue Er and continued to scold: "You little rabbit cub, how did I persuade you that day, those words went into the dog's belly." I've been talking to ghosts for the past half a day, who did you learn these crooked theories from, hooligans are not people, hooligans should die, right, they should let their fathers, mothers, wives and children watch them die without turning a blind eye, right?"
A series of scolding has already made Mayor Xiao panting tiredly. But even after saying so much, Xue Er still sat there indifferent, and Mayor Xiao also knew that this person had walked into a dead end, and he couldn't get out for a while, so he didn't plan to waste his energy here and talk nonsense with him,
stood up and walked to the door, but when he put his hand on the door frame, Mayor Xiao still sighed and said: "You don't have to investigate this case, the county magistrate also attaches great importance to this case, and I will continue to follow up with the remaining head catchers in the future, and you only need to patrol the street recently." By the way, think about it, if it's really connected, come to me."
After finishing speaking, Mayor Xiao sighed again before shaking his head and leaving.
Heizi and Dalin, who were standing outside the door, only eavesdropped, and when Mayor Xiao opened the door, they didn't come to dodge in a hurry, and they happened to be caught by Mayor Xiao who came out.
Looking at Mayor Xiao who was glaring at them angrily, and still thinking of his words in his ears, "useless things", Kuroko and Dalin felt extremely aggrieved.
Stretching out his head to look at Xue Tou, who was motionless in the room, Heizi and Dalin didn't know how to step forward to comfort him. In the end, because they really didn't know what Lu Dao said, the two had to leave here.
Walking on the road, Da Lin, who had been silent, turned his head and bumped into the sunspot beside him, and said in annoyance: "Kuroko, aren't you usually very smart, you tell me, who should we listen to." At first, I thought what Xue Tou said made sense, but then I felt that what Mayor Xiao said was right, so what should we do now? ”
Heizi scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "This kind of thing has always been said to be justified by the public, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, how do I know who to listen to, but"
Speaking of this, Heizi paused for a moment, looked at the road when he came and went, and paused for a while before he said: "Listening to the meaning of Mayor Xiao's last words, I will definitely not let Xue Tou follow up on these murder cases again." What I'm more worried about is that if someone else investigates, I guess I will have to go through the case all over again. And you also know that Xue Tou is much stronger than ordinary people in terms of investigating cases, of course, I'm not saying that Mayor Xiao can't bring the prisoners to justice, but this one will definitely delay a lot of time, and I don't know what will happen to Lu Dao when the time comes."
Dalin heard Heizi say this, and nodded approvingly: "But now Xue Tou is on the tip of the bull's horns, and he doesn't listen to anyone's words, so he thinks he is dead, and now it would be good if he could find someone to persuade him again."
"You also said that he drilled the horns of the bull, so who can persuade him to move" At this point, both of them sighed a little dejectedly.
The two of them, who couldn't think of any good way, had no choice but to continue patrolling the street in an orderly manner. It was noon, just as the two were about to find a place to eat, they ran into an acquaintance.
"Kuroko, Kuroko, look, is the one on the other side the same person who invited us to dinner last time?" Dalin pointed to a man on the wonton stall opposite to show Kuroko.
After seeing the person who came, Heizi also recognized it, and when he was about to step forward to say hello, he was pulled by Dalin and said: "Heizi, what did Xue Tou say last time, this person seems to be his benefactor." You said that let's talk to him about this incident and let him persuade Xue Tou, is it useful? ”
After listening to Dalin's words, Kuroko stood in place and thought for a long time, then patted Dalin's head with a smile and quipped: "I only knew that you would eat it before, but I didn't expect to find out today that you are still a little smart." I remember the last time I heard that he was a scholar, and he was very remarkable, so he must know some great truths, maybe he can really persuade Xue Tou"
After discussing, the two walked to Wen Qing'an's side. "What a coincidence, why did Mr. Wen have time to come to town today?"
Wen Qing'an, who was eating wontons, heard someone call him, swallowed the wontons in his mouth and looked up at the person who came. When he saw that the two of them were wearing a head-catching dress, he remembered that they were the two young men who were with Xue Er after the last Lantern Festival, so he immediately put down the spoon in his hand, clasped his hands into fists and smiled: "Isn't this the two headcatchers of Heizi and Dalin, what a coincidence, don't come to harm?"
Seeing Wen Qing'an being so polite, Heizi and Dalin hurriedly waved their hands and said, "Mr. Wen, don't do this, our brothers can't afford it." If Xue Tou knows the truth, he will have to peel off our skin."
Seeing them say this, Wen Qing'an just smiled and shook his head, and then beckoned: "Can the two head catchers eat, do you want to eat with me?"
Wen Qing'an only asked politely, but after saying this, the two of them really nodded and sat beside him. For a while, I was made to cry and laugh by the straightforwardness of the two.
He asked the stall owner to serve two bowls of wontons, and the three of them sat down together and ate them. After eating, Wen Qing'an wanted to settle the bill together, but the sunspots insisted on not letting them, and they had to pay their own after the end.
Wen Qing'an thought that after eating, the two would leave, but instead of leaving, they sat there and talked to him. When Wen Qing'an saw them, he knew that these two people had something to say, so he said bluntly: "Do the two headhunters have something to say to each other?" ”
Originally, they didn't know how to open their mouths, but now when they saw Wen Qing'an asking, they no longer hesitated, and told everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
Wen Qing'an, who listened to the words, frowned and thought for a while, and said to the sunspots: "Two head catchers, since you can say this to me, it shows that you really regard Wen as your own, so you won't hide it here, and I will also rely on being a few years older to say something big, Wen feels that Mayor Xiao's words make sense."
Seeing that the two were about to refute him, Wen Qing'an waved his hand and motioned to them: "Although what Xue Zhutou said is also partially true, but his mistake is to rely on the body of a murderer, that prisoner can kill the bad guy today, so what about tomorrow?" What about the day after tomorrow? No one can guarantee that he will not harm innocent civilians. Furthermore, it is your duty to bring anyone who violates the law to justice, and it is not your duty to judge by your own will whether or not to arrest someone. If you're so emotional, you might as well take off your clothes."
Although Wen Qing'an's last sentence was really a bit serious, the sunspots felt that his words were reasonable. For a moment, both of them looked at him thoughtfully.
Wen Qing'an Zhidao Heizi and the two listened to his words, and also changed the serious expression just now, but said with a smile: "It's okay to have a Xue head who is confused, you can't be confused anymore." I came to the town today to attend the village chief's meeting instead of our village chief, so I'll go to see Mayor Xiao first, and then go to you Xue Tou after the matter is done, and talk to him."
When they heard that Wen Qing'an responded to the matter so happily, both of them thanked them again and again. And because they still had something to do, they didn't dare to delay here for too long, and after saying a few words, they left one after another.
After separating from the sunspots, Wen Qing'an first went to Mayor Xiao for a meeting, and then went to the class room to find Xue Er, but when he arrived, Xue Er was no longer there. Wen Qing'an searched for many more people, but no one knew his whereabouts. After looking back and forth for several hours, he didn't see his figure, looking at the darkening sky, Wen Qing'an was afraid that his family would be worried, so he left a letter to Xue Er, and after making an appointment, he left the town.
