The small carved picture is very simple - a dog, a mouse. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A dog's paw is playing with a small mouse, which is an obvious meaning.

Ye Ziluo said: "Dog takes a mouse? ”

Yin Seventeen smiled lightly: "It's the murderer who is saying that I'm nosy." ”

Murderer?

Ye Ziluo was slightly startled, knowing that the murderer could not be in the guest room, but he still frowned and looked around.

Yin Seventeen said: "The murderer will leave when he returns the wooden box, and he will not stay in the Lotus Inn, maybe even this square wooden box is not sent by the murderer himself." ”

Ye Ziluo thought for a while and said, "I'll go and call Brother Xu." ”

Yin Seventeen nodded, but as soon as Ye Ziluo turned around, Jiang Dapeng's call came from outside the door.

After Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng entered, Ye Ziluo simply sat down first, and the four of them just formed a table.

As soon as Jiang Sheng sat down, he poured a cup of tea for himself and drank it all, and drank three cups in a row to quench his thirst, and finally felt a little embarrassed, and poured a cup each for Jiang Dapeng, Yin Seventeen, and Ye Ziluo, who were not too thirsty.

Jiang Dapeng took a sip of tea and said:

"Jiang Sheng and I went to check the carpentry shop formulated by the long wooden box, at first because there were many carpentry shops in Jiebei County, we even ran several and said no, and then thanks to Brother Ye came to tell us the specific days of customizing the wooden box, there are traces to follow."

Following this trace on August 11 last year, Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng finally asked for clues in a woodworking shop near the east of Jiebei County.

Yin Seventeen said suspiciously: "County East? I remember Yao Jun, Xiaoyaozi, and Lin Ya's family, the lot they live in is between the west of the county and the north of the county, how could they go to the east of the county to customize a long wooden box? ”

Jiang Dapeng explained the confusion for Yin Seventeen: "There are many woodworking shops in Jiebei County, large and small, at least hundreds, but when it comes to being one of the best, the first top-notch one is the one in the east of the county!" ”

The carpentry shop in the east of the county is not large, only one wide, and it is an ancestral craft that has been passed down from generation to generation.

The boss's surname is Zhao, and the neighbors affectionately call Zhao carpenter.

shouted too much, Zhao Carpenter became his name, and his real name was not remembered, even the familiar guests also shouted like this.

Ye Ziluo said: "In this case, at the beginning, why didn't Jiang Zhukuai inquire about Zhao Mugong's shop first?" ”

If you had asked earlier, it would have saved a lot of time.

Before Jiang Dapeng could speak, Jiang Sheng had already raised his voice and explained:

"Didn't Brother Yin say it! My brother-in-law and I are also thinking that whether it is Yao Jun, Xiaoyaozi, or Lin Ya who died in the end, they all live in the west and north of the county, who would have thought that they would customize a wooden box, and they were not afraid of trouble, but they ran from the northwest to the east! ”

Jiang Sheng is right, there is indeed a long detour in between.

It takes half an hour to walk, even by carriage, and it takes three quarters of an hour.

For such a long journey, no one expected that the three of them would run to Zhao Mugong's shop in the same way, neither afraid of distance nor trouble.

According to the idea of ordinary people, customizing a wooden box for holding a fishing rod is the next day when there is an abnormal situation, everyone will find a nearby carpentry shop, instead of Yao Jun, Xiaoyaozi, and Lin Ya, who can even think of using the best wood and carving skills to install the most important fishing rod for the three people.

Doesn't it mean that caring is chaotic?

But these three people were extremely calm the next day, and they did not hastily put away the fishing rods, let alone hastily find a container to pack, but deliberately customized the wooden box, and also purposefully selected the best carpentry shop in Jiebei County to customize the long wooden box for the fishing rod.

After hearing this, Ye Ziluo said, "Perhaps...... What's so special about Zhao Woodworking's shop? ”

What's so special?

Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng glanced at each other, as if they had asked each other, but they were both at a loss.

Jiang Dapeng said: "There is nothing special, if you really want to say that there is, it can only be Zhao Mugong's ancestral good carver!" ”

Ye Ziluo shook his head: "It's not special. ”

Jiang Sheng also helped: "But other than that, there really is nothing special!" ”

The leaves fell and did not make another sound.

Yin Seventeen understood what Ye Ziluo meant, because she also had this guess in her heart, so after seeing that Ye Ziluo didn't speak, she continued:

"To allow the three deceased to find the east of the county at the same time on the next day, not afraid of distance and trouble, in addition to coincidence, it is indeed possible that, as Ziluo said, there is something special about Zhao Carpenter's shop or himself that makes the three deceased valued, and then even if the mood is very bad and the mood is very unstable, it can attract the three deceased to go to the custom long wooden box in person."

Two of the four have already stated that there is such a possibility.

But Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng really didn't see anything unusual, let alone asked.

What's more, they are from Jiebei County, and they have never heard of anything special about the carpentry shop in Dongzhao County, or they themselves since they were young.

Seeing this, Yin Qiqi had no choice but to expose the matter first, thinking that after that, she and Ye Ziluo would personally go to the east of the county, talk to Zhao Carpenter, and then look at his carpentry shop.

When Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng visited the customization of the long wooden box in this life, what kind of clues could they find?

Jiang Dapeng said: "Zhao Mugong said that he remembered Yao Jun and the three of them, that day was early the next morning after the storm, Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi arrived first, and then Lin Ya, because the three of them almost stepped into the carpentry shop before and after, and they were the first batch of customers in the store that day, so he remembered it very clearly!" ”

Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi actually had to set off than Lin Ya, but the two of them walked to the east of the county, and Lin Ya set off later, but they took the carriage of the Lin Mansion, so the morning and evening of this time made the carriage catch up.

When they arrived at the carpentry shop at the same time, the three of them stared at Zhao Carpenter for a long time.

At that time, Zhao Carpenter was so frightened that he retreated and shouted to the ground, calling out his son.

Jiang Sheng then relayed: "Later, Zhao Mugong asked Yao Jun and the others, saying that the length of the wooden box is the same, so should the pattern be the same?" ”

Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi naturally nodded in agreement, but to the surprise of the two, Lin Ya also nodded.

Jiang Dapeng thought for a while and said: "Zhao Mugong said that Lin Ya's face was very bad at that time, of course, Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi's faces at that time were also very bad, but compared to the three of them, Lin Ya's spirit was the worst, as if he hadn't slept for several nights and was tortured to the point that he couldn't look human. ”

Tortured to the point of not being human?

This is undoubtedly a very bleak and tragic description.

The Zhao Mu Guild said this about Lin Ya last year, and Lin Ya, who wanted to come to that meeting, did encounter a major event that made him completely collapse the night before.

Lin Hu also said in this paragraph, only saying that Lin Ya's situation at that time was very bad, and it was the first time she had seen such a bad Lin Ya when she was so old.

When listening to Lin Hu's description, Yin Seventeen only felt that it should indeed be very bad.

But this will be said by Jiang Dapeng, and with Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi as references, Yin Qiqi suddenly felt that she still underestimated the extent of Lin Ya's situation at that time.

After customizing the long wooden box, none of the three stayed in the woodworking shop for long.

At the moment when the three of them were sent away, Zhao Mugong also breathed a sigh of relief, and even his son said that the three guests who came early in the morning were like water ghosts who crawled out of the water, how unlucky!

At that meeting, although Zhao Mugong scolded his son sharply, he actually agreed with his son's statement in his heart - he was really like three water ghosts crawling out of the water!

Ye Ziluo frowned, his eyes fell on the square wooden box again, and he said that Zhao Carpenter said that Yao Jun, Xiaoyaozi, and Lin Ya were water ghosts, which showed that the situation of the three of them at that time was indeed quite terrifying, and it also showed more sideways that on the tenth day of August last year, a great event did happen.

Maybe it's really as Yin Seventeen said, it's about human life!

Thinking of this, Ye Ziluo withdrew his gaze from the square wooden box, and he looked at Yin Seventeen, who was frowning and contemplative.

At this moment, he actually wanted to say that he should let Yin Qiqi stop taking poison and commit suicide, and he and she would set off on the road tomorrow morning, and it was important to hurry back to Yanjing.

What's more, the murderer had already sent the four-square wooden box with a special meaning to the Lotus Inn, the guest room where Yin Seventeen lived, which made him even more vigilant.

It's not that he's afraid of the murderer, but he just feels that the enemy is in the dark, and he can't guard against it at all.

In addition to the murderers in these three cases, he also guarded against anyone else who was even the slightest bit suspicious.

I have to say that being the guard of Yin Seventeen is a very tiring thing.

He was only four or five years old when his father told him to do a thousand kicks constantly, and it was quite tiring to think about at the time.

Compared to the situation at this time, he felt that he was so happy at that time, it was so easy that he missed it.

Ye Ziluo's gaze was so unconcealed that the other three people at the table could clearly see his eyes staring at Yin Seventeen.

As a party, Yin Seventeen deeply realized the metaphorical meaning of Ye Ziluo's gaze, she turned her face slightly sideways and looked at him:

"Don't worry, I can protect myself, you have to believe in your own ability, and you have to believe in my ability, protect me, and support me, not question me, or persuade me to give up."

Ye Ziluo stared at Yin Seventeen's bright eyes for a few more breaths, then he slowly lowered his eyes and got up and said:

"I'll go to Brother Xu and ask about this wooden box."

He didn't say anything more, only answered her words with gestures.

After Yin Seventeen watched Ye Ziluo walk out of the guest room, he looked back and saw that Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng had already stood up, half-bending down to study the square wooden box on the table.

Jiang Sheng said: "I saw this square wooden box early in the morning, and I thought it was Brother Yin's, but it turned out that it wasn't!" ”

Jiang Dapeng raised his head and asked Yin Seventeen: "This is really not yours?" ”

Yin Seventeen shook his head.

Jiang Dapeng asked again: "Whose is that?" ”

Yin Seventeen said: "I don't know who sent it, when I went back to the guest room of the Lotus Inn, it was on this table." ”

Jiang Sheng was surprised: "Oh, no wonder Brother Ye wants to go to Xu Yang to ask...... Have you opened this wooden box? ”

Yin Seventeen nodded: "I've opened it, there's nothing inside, you can open it and take a look." ”

As soon as Yin Seventeen's words fell, Jiang Sheng had already lifted the lid of the box one step earlier, and then said in a loud voice:

"A dead fish and a broken net?"

Jiang Dapeng stood up straight and looked at Yin Seventeen:

"What does that mean?"

Yin Seventeen didn't mean to go around the corner, anyway, about the long wooden box, Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng had finished speaking, it should be her turn to talk about this square wooden box, as well as some clues she found:

"The moral is very simple - the fish that slips through the net."

Jiang Sheng suddenly realized: "That's right, that's what it means!" ”

Jiang Dapeng is also an afterthought.

Yin Seventeen motioned for Jiang Sheng to take away the hand that was on the edge of the box, and then she closed the lid of the box again, pointing to the corner carving that Ye Ziluo had inadvertently touched:

"There is also this one, which also has a meaning, and in addition, nothing else has been found in this square wooden box."

Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng looked at Yin Seventeen's fingers, because the carved pattern was very small and on the edge, if Yin Seventeen didn't say it, they really didn't notice that there was another carving in the corner of the lid of this box.

After reading it, both of them understood the meaning of the carving - the dog takes the mouse and meddles in things.

After all, the carving is so obvious, and this sentence is very common, and anyone can easily guess the meaning of this little carving.

Jiang Sheng asked, "Nosy...... Who is this talking about? ”

Yin Seventeen was silent, Jiang Dapeng looked at Yin Seventeen and said:

"These four parties were specially sent to the Yin Brothers' guest room, and they should be talking about the Yin Brothers."

Yin Seventeen nodded with a smile.

Jiang Sheng was stunned for a while before closing his slightly open mouth:

"Who is this! Such audacity! Even the Yin brother who helped us investigate the clues of the case dared to bury it like this! ”

Rolling his sleeves to his elbows again, Jiang Sheng said fiercely:

"Don't plant it in the hands of the master, otherwise the master will make the turtle grandson who dares to give the wooden box but dare not show his face look good!"

Jiang Dapeng's face was also gloomy, obviously unhappy that Yin Seventeen was so bad that unknown people secretly warned him, and he probably had the same thoughts as Jiang Sheng in his heart - don't be planted in the hands of the master!

Seeing Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng holding her so tightly, Yin Seventeen was happy in his heart, and thought that Ye Ziluo probably thought more than these two people, so in addition to being angry, Ye Ziluo also had worries in his heart.

Xu Yang quickly came upstairs.

Ye Ziluo then closed the door to the guest room and dropped the latch.

This made Xu Yang feel frightened after entering the door, and when he saw Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng, the two officials were also there, he couldn't help but panic for a while:

"Master...... Ladies and gentlemen! Xiaomin did his duty, and he didn't do anything! ”

Listening to Xu Yang's words, and seeing the bitter gourd on his face, Jiang Dapeng rolled his eyes a little carelessly, and Jiang Sheng couldn't help but laugh out loud at this time.

Ye Ziluo had already set his sights on Yin Seventeen, so he didn't have the heart to laugh, let alone Xu Yang's wrinkled face.

After turning around, Xu Yang's eyes fell on the face of Yin Seventeen, who was smiling, and he spoke softly, with a good voice and anger, but he couldn't take back his sad face, and confessed extremely funny:

"Brother Yin, I really didn't do anything! Aside from the occasional pick up of a few copper plates from my sister, I didn't do anything bad! ”

This time, even Yin Seventeen couldn't help but laugh out loud, pointing to the square wooden box on the table and asking:

"I called Brother Xu Yang to ask who sent this wooden box into my room?" (To be continued.) )
