Chapter 36 The River in the Cold Winter

"Did you find it?" Xiao Jue asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I emerged from the water, gasping for breath, and I could clearly see my face, red and swollen and about to deform after being soaked in cold water. The hair was still dripping with water, and a cold wind blew and shivered fiercely. Not only was it cold, but my body was stiff at all, "How can it be so easy to find!" I don't think you're trying to trick me! ”

"It shouldn't be." Xiao Jue's wheelchair was parked on the shore, with an animal skin blanket draped over his legs.

"I've been running over this river from beginning to end, and I haven't found anything good?! I shouldn't have promised to do you this favor if I knew I would! "Now, not only do I help with reasoning, but I also do the work of the frogman.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.

"Have you looked carefully? It's been two days, and with the current, maybe it's washed somewhere, or it's covered in mud and sand, or it'......"

"My lord, I've been looking very carefully." I just felt a rush of anger rising up, this person was really used to being an uncle, and he couldn't move, so he sat there and commanded me. In such a cold winter, I took off my coat and went into the water to look for clues, but I was disgusted and didn't look for it carefully.

He no longer raised objections. "You come up first."

I snorted ashore and was dripping all over. He lifted the blanket from his lap and handed it to me, "Put it on." ”

I'm not welcome, it's all frozen like this, so naturally I can't care about anything else. I took the animal skin blanket and draped it on my body, it was just a blanket, and I felt much warmer at once, at least there was no cold wind that directly blew me through. Moreover, when the blanket was draped over my already frozen body, it carried his body temperature with him.

"Let's go back first." He had no choice but to give up.

When I got back to my lodgings, I began to sneeze and sneeze, and my head burned so much that I hid in my room, gathered around the fire, and shivered several times. It's too cold, it's too cold.

"How's it going?" Xiao Jue pushed his wheelchair over, holding a cup of something that tasted strange. At first I didn't answer, so when he entered the room, he listened for a while, and by the sound of my sneezing, he found my place, slowly pushed his wheelchair to my side, and reached out and handed the clay cup.

He kept holding it up, and I didn't know if I reached out to take it. I couldn't stand it anymore so I took it, but the smell came to my face, so I almost threw the pottery cup out, "What is this, it smells bad to death." ”

"It's medicine, and it's made from ground beef bones, so it smells a little fishy. But for your current situation, it's good. "He's referring to my cold.

Even if he has a bit of a conscience, I also went into the cold water because of his request. It's the way it is, but fortunately he didn't stand by and watch me laugh, otherwise this case would have ...... It's not that you can't just leave it alone. I looked at him with the foul-smelling decoction, in fact, I promised to help him investigate this case, and I also had selfish intentions to use him. Because of that feeling, I was uneasy, worried that there would be something about this case that had nothing to do with me and that I would be threatened, and if I didn't investigate, I wouldn't know what was threatening me. I admit that it was because of his identity that made me decide to work with him, and what better way to hide me than him.

But after this period of contact, I found that he was not the kind of person I thought he was at first, not cold and emotionless. He would be angry because of what happened to Changjing's wife, he would run because of some trivial things in the village, and he would try his best to find out this case because he wanted to protect the Jiuli people here, which was really difficult for his situation.

"What's wrong?" He fumbled, moved his arms from his wheelchair to sit down next to me, picked up the dry wood on the ground and carefully put it into the fire, probably because he hadn't heard me for a while, which made him a little curious.

I instinctively shook my head, remembering that he couldn't see it. Holding the somewhat hot pottery cup in his arms, it was extremely warm. "How did you get your eyes and legs?"

He had just picked up the dry wood again, paused for a moment, and put it into the fire. "A few months ago, I fell off a cliff and broke both legs. Eyes, because of the head injury, I was in a coma for a long time, and when I woke up, I couldn't see anything. ”

"How so?" I muttered something under my breath. It's really jealous of the talent, he is not very old, he looks like he is only twenty-five or six years old, he has just passed the age of youth, and he has some mature taste, but is it because he has any different experiences? It actually made him look a little stunned. "What about your family? Is it just you? I've told you a lot about me, but I never heard you talk about you. ”

"Family?" Somehow he recited it silently, but he turned his head with some sadness, "I have a father, an uncle, and a brother. He also had a wife and a lover. ”

"A wife? And a lover? I don't know if I heard it wrong, or if I misunderstood the original meaning of his words, I thought he was different, but it turned out that he was no different from others, and suddenly I was a little disappointed.

But this feeling comes and goes quickly, but in my impression, he is not so ...... It's noble.

In the cases I have come into contact with, I am used to seeing the setting of various character relationships, and I am probably not surprised for a long time. Maybe I imposed a will on him in the first place, so when I heard that he had two women, that feeling was a little subtle.

He smiled wryly, not knowing what he was laughing at.

Do you ...... love your wife or your lover? I was curious about the answer, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I swallowed the sentence alive. After all, this is someone's private matter, even if they cooperate together to investigate the case now, but he is not the target of the case after all.

"What about you?" He suddenly asked, "Listening to your voice, you should be a very beautiful and cheerful girl, is it already someone you like?" ”

"You guessed wrong." I dismissed his temptation, "I'm not pretty, I'm not cheerful." ”

This is true, my personality has nothing to do with being cheerful, and any girl who has an experience like mine will not be cheerful. Although he didn't want to close himself, he was burdened with too many bizarre cases and was avoided like a plague god. In order to protect yourself from being too embarrassed, I always have to pretend to be a pair, I don't care, and I have to pretend that I don't want to contact everyone first. Over time, I probably forgot how I felt when I was with others.

And the person I care about the most has long since left me. Thinking about the things in that world in the future, I don't know if anyone will go to my brother on the death day after I cross over so unexpectedly. By the way, Professor Nguyen...... He was hit by Shen Zaiyang with me at the time, I don't know how he is now, I'm afraid, it's also more auspicious.

I sulked, "Let's get back to the case, what exactly do you want me to find in the river?" ”

"It's evidence." Xiao Jue returned to the topic very quickly.

"Evidence?" I hesitated, "Could it be evidence that Changjing's body was thrown into the river?" ”

"Yes." He confirmed my suspicions. "At the beginning, I overlooked one thing, since Changjing's body was found in the river at the entrance of the village, where did it come from and throw it into the river? Even if it was a big night, it was impossible to carry a corpse to the entrance of the village and throw it into the river, so it was difficult to ensure that it would not be seen. If the body was not discarded from the entrance of the village, then where did it come from in the river? ”

"So you want me to look up the river to see if there are any clues left in the river." I finally understood what he was thinking, and then there was a wave of helplessness, "But I didn't find anything at all." Although it may not be possible to prove where Changjing's body was abandoned from, it is difficult to guarantee that Changjing's corpse really did not leave any clues on the way downstream, and the fluidity of the water is too strong, even if there is anything left, it may be washed farther away......"

Yes, rushed further.

"We're going in the wrong direction. If we calculate according to the direction of the current, then the clues left by Changjing are likely to have been washed downstream. I explained, then thought of something and stood up.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Jue was shocked by my movements.

"Go search for clues, now go downstream to find it, maybe you can find it." I didn't care about anything else, so I was about to go out.

Xiao Jue stretched out his hand to try to grab me, but suddenly grabbed my wrist, "Don't go." Even if you find a clue downstream, what can you prove? It can only be proved that Changjing's body was once soaked in the river water, and it is impossible to find out where he was abandoned from. ”

I was stunned, it was. I was in too much of a hurry to ignore the problem.

"My lord! My lord! Someone shouted in the courtyard, it was a woman's voice.

When Xiao Jue heard the voice, he supported his hands and sat back in the wheelchair, I stepped forward and put my hand on the handle, and then wrapped him in a heavy blanket and pushed him out of the house.

"Is it Magnolia?" Xiao Jue only listened to one or two sounds, as if he heard the owner of the voice.

In front of me is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, not tall, round face, delicate, but also very good-looking. It's just that I always feel like I've seen this face somewhere, but I can't remember where I've seen her.

"Your Excellency!" Yulan cried and pounced, knelt at Xiao Jue's feet, and pulled his legs, "My lord, please save my sister!" ”

"Yulan, get up first." Xiao Jue pushed her away and told her to get up. Then he turned his head to me and explained, "She's Yulan, and her sister Shulan is Changjing's wife." ”

Changjing's wife, Shulan?! No wonder I thought this girl looked familiar. "What's wrong with your sister?"

"Uncle, uncle, he's going to kill my sister! My lord, please save my sister......" Magnolia cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain.
