Chapter Seventy-Three: The Zhu Triangle
Zhan Yan came again at night, and it was quite early. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that time, Yin Qiqi was happily having dinner with the father and son of Miao Village Chief, thinking that when she was done eating, she asked Miao Gui to take her to Tie Shi Niang's house to inquire and inquire, and she thought about Zhanyan and Hua Zilai, and I don't know how to find out?
But when she really saw Zhanyan appear at the door of the Miao Village Chief's house and walk into the courtyard leisurely, she almost choked on a mouthful of vegetable soup.
I really can't think about people day and night, and I can't think about ghosts at night, otherwise I will think about anything!
Zhan Yan hastily had dinner before rushing to Bianluo Village, and when he saw that the father and son of the village chief Miao and Yin Seventeen were still having dinner, he said that he would sit down first, and wait for Yin Seventeen to eat enough before he would talk about it.
After a while, she finished eating and asked him, how did he know that she was here with the village chief Miao?
He said she probably didn't have anywhere else to go but here.
Yin Seventeen stared, too small to look down on!
Zhan Yan didn't care, and said to the Miao village chief who began to fiddle with the tea set on the side:
"Village Chief Miao, I'm afraid I'll have to harass you and Uncle Miao for one night tonight."
In the past two days, due to the involvement of Yin Seventeen, it is not the first time that Zhan Yan has come to the house of the village chief of Miao.
This back and forth, Miao Village Chief is also more familiar with Zhanyan, not as restrained as at the beginning, and completely demoted Zhanyan from the high position of the county government to the friend brought by Yin Seventeen.
And he treats Yin Seventeen as if he were his own grandchildren, and he looks at Zhan Yan like a grandchild the size of Yin Seventeen, and he speaks much more casually and simply.
Hearing Zhan Yan's politeness, Village Chief Miao simply said:
"You're welcome! You and Seventeen can stay here for as long as you want, anyway, Miao Miao's room is empty, except for accumulating dust on weekdays, it's useless, but you have become popular when you come! ”
In this way, Yin Seventeen once again returned to the embarrassing period when he had to be in the same room with Zhan Yan, or even lie in the same bed.
Of course, this is just her one-sided embarrassment.
Except for her, no one felt inappropriate.
After finding a gap, Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan entered Miao Miao's room to exchange and discuss the progress of the case they had investigated.
Closing the door, Yin Seventeen asked casually:
"Brother Zhan, why did you come to Bianluo Village so late? Is it the county's iron shop, do you have any discoveries you want to tell me? Or did Brother Hua really find Widow Miao's missing arm? ”
Zhan Yan shook his head: "No, I have been to several iron shops in the county that are most likely to make three-sided water chestnut skills, and I have also seen and asked the blacksmith master in the iron shop, where can there be such special skills?" But all the blacksmiths said they had never seen it. ”
That is to say, there are no clues, and the strength of the afternoon is in vain.
Yin Seventeen asked again: "What about Brother Hua?" What's the catch? ”
In fact, she didn't have much hope for Hua Zi to come to the vicinity of the sandy road at the foot of Alishan Mountain to find the right arm of the Miao widow.
She always felt that things were not so simple.
The murder of Miao's widow was definitely not a simple accident.
The murderer has a plan and a purpose, and he does not choose the victim at random, and the severed right arm must be of some use, otherwise why would the murderer need to spend so much effort to cut off, tear off the sleeve of the blue character, and cut off the skin and flesh of the Miao character, these are all deliberate.
If everything is deliberate, then there must be a purpose.
Zhan Yan really said that the servants brought by Hua Zi came there also had no gain.
Yin Seventeen was not surprised, and then told him about what she had found at Zhu Zimei's house in the afternoon, and her opinion on the murder of Miao's widow.
After hearing this, Zhan Yan agreed, and he also felt that the murderer's cutting off the right arm of Widow Miao must have some significance, but so far, the meaning is not clear.
Zhan Yan asked, "Where are the blue cuffs?" ”
Yin Seventeen took out a neatly wrapped cloth towel from her arms, and she handed the whole bag to Zhan Yan:
"There are not only blue cuffs in it, I found the sleeve of Widow Miao in the backwater ditch, and other torn sleeve rags are also in it."
Zhan Yan opened the neatly wrapped cloth towel, and instantly a foul smell hit his nose, he frowned, and calmly took the cloth towel away from his nose.
Raising his eyes, Yin Seventeen had retreated ten steps away.
Zhan Yan was suddenly angry: "You can stuff it in your arms, why do you still run so far?" ”
Yin Seventeen took two steps closer while covering his nose, and then refused to move his steps to approach him:
"Didn't you see that I wrapped the cloth tightly? And the blue cuffs are actually not smelly, the stinky ones are those sleeve rags, you take out the blue cuffs, don't pollute them! ”
Zhan Yan pinched out the blue cuffs with two fingers, glanced at Yin Seventeen and said:
"Now that you know you can't pollute it, why do you put it with these stinking rags?"
Yin Seventeen was embarrassed when he mentioned this: "At that time, even I was a stinky person, where did I have time to think so much, so I just put it away, who knows that it happened to be put together......"
When she came out with a new dress after washing and changing, she thought of this, but it was too late.
She didn't want to open the cloth towel that she folded impermeably like a medicine bag, so this task magically fell into Zhanyan's hands.
With such a result, Yin Seventeen was very satisfied - let him snatch her bed again!
Zhan Yan didn't dwell on this pollution problem, and he quickly attracted the word "Lan" on his cuffs:
"I remember when we visited Widow Miao's mother's house, the villagers of Bianye Village said that Zhu Song's robe before her death was also handmade by Widow Miao, and the cuffs also had the word 'Song' representing Zhu Song's name, and this cuff belonged to Widow Miao's, and there was also a word 'Lan', which means that she used to embroider a word in the name of the owner of the robe on every robe that she sewed by herself......"
That's true, so what?
Yin Qiqi felt that the follow-up of Zhanyan's words was the point: "Have you found any clues about this?" ”
Zhan Yan nodded: "When I visited the iron shop in the county, I accidentally found an embroidery village where Miao widows often take embroidery to sell, and the boss there said that Miao widows' embroidery products are good, not only the stitching method is unique, but the patterns never overlap with people, and there is a vermilion triangle embroidered on each of her embroidery patterns, and the embroidery position is either up and down the right, or left or right, there is no fixed position, it should be to see the difference of each pattern, and the position of the embroidery is also different. ”
As he spoke, he put the cloth towel bag in his hand on the small round table, and took out a towel from his arms.
Yin Seventeen took it and looked at the general.
Zhan Yan said: "This vermilion triangle is also the length of the rice grain, whether it is the hook, the strand, or the string which side is the same length, it is impossible to tell which one is the hook, which one is the strand, and which one is the string." ”
The two white peonies between the green leaf buds are waiting to be released, delicate and noble, the petals are thick, it is the luminous white like the jade bone ice heart, as if the breeze blows gently, it is the faint aromatic fragrance, Yiyi seems to be able to see the overlapping petals swinging slightly, and even the rhizomes seem to be gently twisting and dancing with the wind.
The vermilion triangle the size of a grain of rice is embroidered on the root of the twigs and rhizomes, and the interplay between the green and vermilion is very abrupt and obvious, as if it is the end of the end, and it seems to be the beginning of the source of all life.
Yin Seventeen said: "Widow Miao is not only good at embroidery, but also a loving woman who misses her old love, and most of the people who miss the old are easy to get hurt......"
Zhan Yan asked, "How can you see it?" ”
Yin Seventeen pointed to the twigs and rhizomes that extended from the lower left corner of the handkerchief to the leaves of the handkerchief, and his eyes were soft:
"Probably the embroidery girls in the world have embroidered the king of flowers in the rich atmosphere - peony, but few people will embroider the roots and stems of the entwined branches together, and can also embroider so naturally moving, and the protagonist of the peony flower complements each other, truly embroidered the root of all things in the world can never leave the homeland.
Embroidered with graceful and luxurious peony flowers, you can still think of embroidering such entwined branches and rhizomes, most of them are a 'grace of dripping water, reciprocating with springs' and not forgetting the fundamental affectionate and righteous people.
Once a person has love and righteousness, he will be constrained a lot, and he will naturally have more opportunities to be hurt. ”
Zhan Yan didn't expect that Yin Seventeen could still see these things from an embroidery, and after hearing it, he actually felt quite reasonable.
Thinking about it again, Yin Seventeen is only fifteen years old, but the opinions he often says and the demeanor he does are not what a fifteen-year-old boy should have.
Hua Zi said that Yin Seventeen was a person with a story like them, and he had expected it early on.
However, at this moment, he felt that the story of Yin Seventeen would definitely not be simpler than their experience.
Zhan Yan said: "There are positive and negative sides to everything, although people with affection and righteousness are more restrained than those who are ruthless and unrighteous, but most of the people who are friends with affection and righteousness are also affectionate and righteous, even if they are not all, those who can stay by such people, at least for such people, are also very loyal and reliable." ”
Realizing that he seemed to be a little pessimistic, Yin Seventeen smiled and said:
"It's me who is sentimental."
It's not just sentimentality, I'm afraid she feels it.
Zhan Yan thought so, but did not pierce Yin Seventeen's disguise, he turned back to the case:
"The embroidery of the Miao widow has such a vermilion triangle, almost similar to the name of the trade, and the three-sided water chestnut on the iron wire, do you think this is just a coincidence?"
Coincidental?
There are not such coincidences in this world, so Yin Seventeen thinks that this is not a coincidence, and Zhan Yan also thinks so.
Maybe Widow Miao knew the person who made the water chestnut wire, maybe she didn't know the two of them, but the murderer did, or maybe ......
Yin Seventeen said: "Brother Zhan, do you say that it is possible that Widow Miao actually knew the murderer?" ”
Such a possibility is not ruled out.
Zhan Yan nodded.
There was a knock on the door outside the room, followed by Miao Gui's inquiry:
"Seventeen, didn't you say you were going to Tie Shi Niang's house? Will this go? ”
Yin Seventeen hurriedly opened the door: "I'm going, I'm going!" Uncle Miao is done? ”
Miao Gui nodded: "Do you want to go to Zhan Zhutou too?" ”
Zhan Yan said: "Let's go together." ”
The village chief's house is located in the village of Bian Luo Village, and Tie Shi Niang's house is not far from the head of the village, which is not a small distance from the village chief's house.
By the time the three of them walked to Tie Shi Niang's house, it was already three o'clock.
Miao Gui still didn't enter Tie Shi Niang's house, but just took Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan to the courtyard gate of a house that could not be seen clearly at night and said that it was Tie Shi Niang's home.
After Miao Gui finished speaking, he walked back home.
Yin Seventeen stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door of Tie Shi Niang's house.
The courtyard gate is an iron door, knocking on the "tuk tuk" sound, the sound is not loud, and the hand is quite painful.
There was no movement for half a while, and Yin Seventeen called "Is there anyone" twice, but there was still no response for half a meeting.
In addition to the courtyard gate of Tie Shi Niang's house, which is an iron gate, the small courtyard around it is also surrounded by iron bars, which is very different from the fence made of bamboo by ordinary people.
Zhan Yan walked to the iron courtyard fence, the iron courtyard fence was not yet his chest, and it was only about a meter high, and the gap between the iron bars only allowed the thickness of his palm to pass through, which was very dense.
When I looked up, I saw that the top of the iron bar was sharpened.
Zhan Yan raised his hand and stretched out to the sharpened point, touching it lightly with his fingertips, and found that it was quite sharp.
Yin Seventeen also noticed it: "Brother Zhan, it seems that Tie Shi Niang's family is very well guarded against thieves. ”
Zhan Yan said: "Maybe it's not just to prevent thieves, or is no one responding?" ”
Yin Seventeen shook his head: "Could it be that he is not here?" ”
But it's so late, where else can you go if you're not at home?
Zhan Yan decided to climb over the iron courtyard fence and enter the courtyard to find out.
Yin Seventeen was a little worried: "No...... Hurt, right? ”
In fact, she wanted to say: It won't be cut belly, right?
But I felt that it was too unlucky, so I changed my gentle question.
Zhan Yan didn't say anything, but disappeared the moment the seventeenth words of Yin fell.
At night, she couldn't see her five fingers, and there was no night wind, she only felt a faint wind blowing from her face, and there was a shadow in her eyes, and when she saw Zhanyan again, it was already across the iron fence from her.
Yin Seventeen exclaimed: "I...... Go! ”
Light work is so good!
No wonder people have such a bullish temper, it turns out that there is such a light skill of bull breaking!
She decided to be a good person in the future...... Well, it's a good subordinate of others, just with this light skill, if she can't escape quickly at the critical moment, you have to count on others to take her and use light skills to escape.
Zhan Yan had already opened the courtyard gate from the courtyard, and the iron door was opened with a bang, and he looked out at Yin Seventeen, who was still stunned:
"What's the daze? Don't come in yet. ”
He kept his voice low, but in the silence of the night, he still didn't say a word into her ears.
Yin Seventeen quickly ran into the courtyard gate, Zhan Yan had already walked to the front of the house in the courtyard, she had just taken two steps, and after thinking about it, she turned back to the courtyard gate, closed the iron door gently, and latched it.
Even the latches are made of iron.
She really deserves to be surnamed Tie, and there is no place in this courtyard that is not made of iron.
Zhan Yan had been standing in front of the two closed doors under the eaves for a while, no one opened the door, and he wanted to enter through the window or something, and found that the iron window ridge was not cut with a saw, otherwise the fist-sized window ridge lattice could not be said to be a person, that is, a bird wanted to fly in, and probably aimed at the head first, so as not to hit the iron edge and knock himself unconscious.
Yin Seventeen also discovered this problem, and suddenly remembered the cowhide that Hua Zilai had blown - what kind of doors and windows, as long as there is a lock, meet me Hua Zilai, hehe! There's really nothing I can't open! (To be continued.) )
