After Xiao Daguan went home and saw the old mother, he made lunch for Xiao in advance and put it in the kitchen cauldron, and went back to the bedroom and instructed Xiao to say that when he wanted to eat, he could eat it when it was warm. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao nodded as usual and looked at the blurred face of his son in front of him:

"Official, my mother is fine, you don't have to take leave to come back to see me."

Xiao Daguan didn't make a sound, only helped Xiao to lie down again, tucked the corners of the quilt on both sides of Xiao, and his face was almost close to Xiao's ear:

"Mother, I have to go back to the inn to work, you remember to go and eat a hot meal."

When he came out of the corner, Xiao Daguan couldn't help but look at Xiao Yatou's house, with unconcealable complexity in his eyes, as well as deep fear and remorse.

If you want to go back to the inn, you have to pass through the dumpling shop in Dabai Hutong, which is the last road that Xiao Daguan wants to walk.

When he came, because of the worry about the old mother at home, he looked at it flawlessly, and only ran over.

When he returned, his pace slowed down a lot, and he walked through the dumpling shop step by step, trying not to think of anything in his heart, far away from the dumpling shop that had dispersed the crowd of onlookers and looked empty as usual.

It took more than a quarter of an hour to walk back to Junzi Street from Dabai Hutong, and Xiao Daguan almost ran up at the end.

As soon as he ran out of Dabai Hutong, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the fact that he was so poor that he couldn't do it, he would have wanted to move out of this Dabai Hutong with his old mother, at least he couldn't live next door to Xiao Yatou's house anymore.

But without money, he couldn't move an inch.

The wages in the inn could only support him and his old mother's daily life, and he had to tighten his belt, and for many years he only gritted his teeth to make such a new dress during the New Year.

After getting out of Dabai Hutong, it is Guwei Street, which is just between Dabai Hutong and Kong Ban Street.

Xiao Daguan, who has never walked into Kongban Street since the case of human skin and corpses, turned into Kongban Street at the intersection of Guwei Street.

Turn a corner, and you will find the incense and candle shop at the end of Kong Ban Street.

Jiang Xiangliu stood at the door of the store, and muttered unlucky:

"There's no business in the first place! It's okay now, there is such a bad luck, and people don't go this way! Eh...... You're not a big official? ”

Xiao Daguan nodded to Jiang Xiangliu: "Boss Jiang......"

Jiang Xiangliu approached and grabbed Xiao Daguan's shoulder: "What Boss Jiang!" Why do you have a relationship with me like this? It's still called Brother Jiang! You know? ”

Xiao Daguan stood at the door of the incense candle shop, thinking of the black bag of broken corpses and the black bag at the door of the dumpling shop, his stomach rolled straight, and Jiang Xiangliu's face gradually became a little blurred:

"Yes...... Brother Jiang......"

Listening to Xiao Daguan's weak response, Jiang Xiangliu finally sensed that something was wrong with Xiao Daguan:

"Official, what's wrong with you? Why do you sweat profusely? ”

Xiao Daguan's face was pale, his lips were completely discolored, cold sweat broke out, and he didn't squeeze out a word in his mouth for a while.

Jiang Xiangliu is also a businessman, his mind turned quickly, he looked back at the door of his store, turned back and asked in a low voice:

"You're not scared, are you? What's this! We didn't hurt that man! ”

was a kind persuasion, but I don't know where it touched which string in Xiao Daguan's heart was tight, Xiao Daguan screamed, shook off Jiang Xiangliu's hook shoulders and back, turned around, and turned back to Guwei Street and ran.

Jiang Xiangliu was thrown by Xiao Daguan vigorously, and he was still stunned, Xiao Daguan had already run over the corner and disappeared.

When he really came back to his senses, he was not at ease, so he turned around and shouted to the guy in the store to take a good look at the store, and he also ran into Guwei Street with Xiao Daguan.

Xiao Daguan screamed and shouted all the way, but no one could hear what he was shouting.

The passers-by on Gu Wei Street avoided one after another, and Jiang Xiangliu was not ashamed to chase after him, but he was hard to chase, plus he rarely ran so fast, and he was out of breath before he ran half the street.

Unable to speak, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Daguan who was running wildly in front of him, thinking of letting a few people he knew on the street help stop him.

It's a pity that Xiao Daguan's appearance is too frightened, like a ghost is abnormal, and no one dares to stop him.

Xiao Daguan ran all the way through Guwei Street, and then ran back to Dabai Hutong, which would be the beginning of noon.

When he ran to the front of the dumpling shop, Ming Lu heard the sound and ran out of the store, standing at the door of the store and seeing Xiao Daguan rushing towards him, followed by Jiang Xiangliu, who was out of breath.

These two people are known to Ming Lu, and they are also friends who were friends when they were young.

It's just that later because of the corpse shredding case, several friends who grew up wearing a pair of pants since childhood seemed to have made an appointment, and they gradually distanced themselves from each other very tacitly.

But that's it, something really happened, and there is still a childhood friendship in my heart.

What's more, the same unfortunate thing happened to Jiang Xiangliu's incense candle shop and Minglu's dumpling shop, and the two felt that they not only felt sympathy for each other, but also remembered the friendship of several people in the past.

It was like a friendship between brothers whose blood was thicker than water, why did it gradually go away because of a murder?

This question is in the hearts of the two of them, and the two also know that the other party will not and cannot be the murderer of the year, but it is like there is a hand invisibly, gradually pulling several people farther and farther away.

Ming Lu was in front, Jiang Xiangliu was behind, and in the middle was Xiao Daguan, who was stimulated.

Jiang Xiangliu hurriedly shouted at Ming Lu: "Ming Lu! Stop the big official! Fast! Stop him! ”

Ming Lu reacted almost instinctively, answered loudly, and quickly ran out of the door of the store to stand in the middle of the alley, stretched out a block with both hands, and stopped Xiao Dalu who was running over frantically, and he hugged Xiao Daguan and did not let go.

Jiang Xiangliu quickly caught up, half-bent down, put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath for a long time, before he intermittently explained to Ming Lu Dao:

"Hug ...... Hold ...... tightly Don't let go...... Let go ......"

Xiao Daguan didn't run home when he saw it, but was stopped in the middle of the road in front of the dumpling shop, he was in a hurry, and his eyes were red in a hurry.

Ming Lu has a lot of strength, but Xiao Daguan, who is always struggling desperately, is also very hard.

In a few moments, his arms were sore.

Seeing that Daguan Xiao had not yet come to his senses, Ming Lu shouted to Jiang Xiangliu:

"Incense! You're thinking of ways to get the officials to stop! ”

At this time, it was too late to ask Xiao Daguan what was going on, Ming Lu just wanted Xiao Daguan to calm down, and the three of their former friends sat down and had a good talk.

Jiang Xiangliu gasped for breath, rubbed his broken old leg and approached Xiao Daguan and Ming Lu, who were hugging each other, with one hand, and also hugged Xiao Daguan, who was constantly struggling:

"You think I don't want to? I can't help it! Ouch! Stop, sir! If you don't stop, we'll both have to break our arms!" ”

Minglu sneered at Jiang Xiangliu: "What are you talking about?" The official will be able to listen to ......"

I didn't say a word when I went in, and Ming Lu was stunned.

Xiao Daguan really listened.

The whole person stopped struggling and stood stunned, Ren Minglu and Jiang Xiangliu sandwiched him in the middle like a meatloaf, his eyes were blank, and he seemed to have returned to his senses, he glanced at Minglu and Jiang Xiangliu respectively.

Jiang Xiangliu was overjoyed: "Great official! ”

Minglu didn't dare to relax: "Big official? ”

Xiao Daguan ignored the two former friends, he was stopped in the middle of the road, his hands and feet were bound by Ming Lu and Jiang Xiangliu, and he couldn't move.

His eyes turned a few times, and he turned from the faces of the people to the shops on both sides of Dabai Hutong, and except for the empty side in front of the dumpling shop, the rest of the road was surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

There was no brilliance in his eyes, as if the faces he saw were no different from the pavement and the pavement, they were all gray.

Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on a certain point.

Jiang Xiangliu followed Daguan Xiao's line of sight: "Minglu, Daguan is looking at your dumpling shop!" ”

Minglu also saw it: "I know ......"

But there is nothing to see in his dumpling shop, except for the black bag of broken corpses that suddenly appeared at the door of his store this morning, he was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, but fortunately, his wife Wen Xun came to him and comforted him for a long time, and he calmed down.

Otherwise, this may be the same mold as Xiao Daguan's abnormal appearance.

Ming Lu thought of this, and suddenly looked at Jiang Xiangliu:

"Why did you run after the big official? Where did the big officials start running like this suddenly? ”

Jiang Xiangliu didn't think about it, so he said truthfully:

"Since another murder, or the first bag of broken corpses found in my store, my incense and candle shop has been fighting mosquitoes every day! Today is also idle, I went to the door of the store to bask in the sunflowers, the official suddenly turned out of the corner of Guwei Street, I greeted him, and then ...... Then it seemed that he looked at the door of my store and thought of the bag of shredded corpses, and suddenly the senior official broke out in a cold sweat, and then it was like what you saw! I chased after him, and he ran lifelessly in front! ”

The incense candle shop and the dumpling shop are both the locations where the two black bags of broken corpses in the human skin shredding case were found, Xiao Daguan looked at the doors of these two stores separately, Ming Lu and Jiang Xiangliu were the same, and soon thought of Xiao Daguan's abnormality, which should be related to the murder.

Minglu's eyes were gloomy.

He also made a steamer of human meat dumplings with his own hands, wasn't he almost forced to lose his mind by the official.

Thinking of this, he also felt sympathy, and Ming Lu hugged Xiao Daguan tightly, who was no longer struggling.

Jiang Xiangliu also understood, his arms tightened, and he hugged Ming Lu and Xiao Daguan.

Most of the onlookers in Dabai Hutong live in Dabai Hutong or nearby streets, and they know a little bit about the three people who hugged each other tightly.

When there was a lot of discussion, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.

It is said that the two of them are still doing small business, and if they are so disturbed by the human skin and corpse case, this future business will not be easy to do, and they may have to close down!

Others said that among the three, Xiao Daguan was the most pitiful, with a half-deaf and half-blind old mother at home, who worked in the inn and only had a meager salary every month, but he barely survived.

If this is because of the human skin and corpse case, Xiao Daguan's mind is abnormal, then how can his old mother live!

Just when Ming Lu and Jiang Xiang were deeply touched, hugging Xiao Daguan with the same illness and not letting go, and the onlookers were more pity and sympathy than gossip, a miserable scream broke through the sky.

After Xiao Daguan screamed, the whole person quickly fell between Minglu and Jiang Xiangliu.

Jiang Xiangliu squatted down to look at Xiao Daguan, who was half-collapsed in front of Ming Lu's chest, and exclaimed:

"Passed out!"

Ming Lu said decisively: "You help him and help him to my store to rest!" ”

Yin Seventeen and Zeng Pin were leaving the stream, and as soon as they came out of the small corner, they saw two or three people running in one direction.

The direction was Dabai Hutong running in the direction of the dumpling shop, Zeng Pinzheng stretched his neck and guessed:

"There should be some excitement ahead."

Yin Seventeen walked away with the flow of people: "Let's go and see." ”

As soon as he walked two steps, he met Ye Ziluo, who came to find the two of them:

"You ...... this"

Zeng Pin said: "Brother Ye, is there something going on in front of you?" ”

Ye Ziluo had just come over from there, and of course he knew what was going on:

"There seems to be someone going crazy in Minglu's dumpling shop, I took a look, and that person seems to be running to and from the inn."

Although it is guessed that it is probably related to the case that is being investigated now, in Ye Ziluo's eyes, it is more important to be able to stay by Yin Seventeen's side at all times.

So he just glanced at it and didn't dig any deeper into what was going on.

On the way to the dumpling shop, Yin Qiqi heard that among the people who went to see the excitement, someone was saying:

"Eh, didn't you just go crazy and pass out? Why did you wake up and still not get better? ”

Another said, "Who knows what's going on?" What a bad luck! We can't go into the dumpling shop, so we just have to take a few looks from afar, so as to save ourselves from the bad luck of being stained with this life! ”

The other two people in the same company felt reasonable, and nodded their heads and said that they would just look at it from a distance.

Zeng Pinzheng sneered: "I want to see the excitement, but I'm afraid of getting burned, this person is really getting more and more interesting!" ”

Yin Seventeen squinted at Zeng Pinzheng: "Okay, don't say that you are not human, this is the inferior nature of people, what's so strange?" ”

Zeng Pin was grinding his teeth: "You scolded me? ”

Yin Seventeen asked Ye Ziluo: "Do I have it?" ”

Ye Ziluo shook his head solemnly: "No." ”

Zeng Pin was so annoyed that he was about to grind his teeth.

There was no one in the open space in front of the dumpling shop, and there were more or less onlookers who wanted to see the excitement but didn't dare to get too close to the shops on the opposite side or outside the shops on both sides of the shop.

Yin Seventeen and the Three Men did not avoid taboos, and walked directly into the dumpling shop.

As soon as he walked in, there was a man in the crowd of onlookers who didn't know why, touched his chin and said strangely:

"There are still people who are not afraid of bad luck?"

Another retorted to him: "What do you know? That's the people in the yamen! Early in the morning, when the yamen came to take away the whole black bag of broken corpses, these three people came! Did you see the son who was the leader? The man squatted on the ground and looked at the broken corpse for a long time! ”

With such an explanation, some people who didn't recognize Yin Seventeen and Three people quickly recognized Yin Seventeen and Three as people in the Qingcheng Yamen in the rapid spread of one word and ten to hundred.

As for why he looked at the face of the student, they all said that it was the magistrate who was annoyed by the human skin and corpse case, and he was sent down by the competent person to investigate the case!

And the specific identity of the capable person, since he is a person sent from above, the background must not be small.

As soon as Yin Seventeen and the three people entered the dumpling shop, Jiang Xiangliu didn't recognize it, but Ming Lu did, especially Yin Seventeen.

It was Yin Seventeen who asked him something, forcing him to almost go insane like Xiao Daguan.

Ming Lu asked Jiang Xiangliu to look at Xiao Daguan, who was hiding under the table and refused to come out, and was trembling with a whining sound, he got up and walked towards Yin Seventeen:

"Poor Master ......" (To be continued.) )
