Wushui Lake is surrounded by trees or trees, or pavilions, water corridors, arch bridges, and flowing water. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The willows in the east hang low, there is one every two zhang, a long row, along the edge of the lake in a semicircle, the delicate and soft willow silk hangs low, like a continuous affection, or across the lake, or reflected in pairs.

When the weeping willows come over, there is a corridor to the Linfeng Pavilion in the middle of the lake, and further to the west, there is a Yucheng Bridge.

On the west side of the Yucheng Bridge, there is a Wuzi grocery store, and at the end of the arc to the west, there is a row of willows hanging low to the lake in a semicircle.

Yin Seventeen pointed to the Wuzi grocery store and asked, "That's the Ye family's opening?" ”

Ye Ziluo looked at Yin Seventeen with a little surprise.

Yin Qiqi smiled: "If I don't even have this bit of eyesight, how can I solve the case?" ”

Wuzi Grocery Store is indeed opened by the Ye family, but it is a half-way home.

The man and woman who run the Wuzi grocery store are a man and a woman, and they happen to be husband and wife, and when they see Yin Seventeen, both of them are very reserved.

After greeting him, Yin Seventeen looked at the corridor leading to the attic at the Wuzi Grocery Store:

"There's someone up there, right?"

Ye Ziluo nodded: "It's the Ye family who secretly followed you to protect you after I left that day." ”

Yin Seventeen didn't sit in the Wuzi grocery store for too long, and he didn't even look at the attic, and the peeping feeling that day did come from the direction of the attic, and it was also from Ye Zi's mouth, and it was determined that it was the Ye family.

But after walking around Wuzi Lake several times, she suddenly ran back into the Wuzi grocery store, scaring the couple in the store so much that she had to kneel down for Yin Seventeen.

Ye Ziluo followed behind and entered the Wuzi grocery store again, looked at Yin Seventeen who was looking around, and asked:

"What's wrong? What are you looking for? ”

Yin Seventeen did not answer.

She stood in a small cubicle in the middle of the Wuzi grocery store, very small, cramped, and calm, and did not speak for a long time.

The leaves fell on the edge of the small door of the cubicle, looking at Yin Seventeen, who didn't know what he was looking at or thinking.

The grocery store husband and wife are not ordinary people, they are all skilled, and they are also counted in Jiebei County on weekdays, but in front of Miss Yanjing Yin, the two of them couldn't help but be a little short of breath.

Ye Ziluo said: "Take a good look at the store, don't ask anything, and don't be curious." ”

The two hurriedly responded.

The third person of the Ye family in Yanjing, and the master of the two of them, how dare they slack off.

The two of them exited the inner room, and returned Ye Ziluo and Yin Seventeen a quiet space, and the Ye family in the attic was no longer in the attic, and they were now lurking around the Wuzi grocery store.

The small cubicle is used by the grocery store to store miscellaneous items, superfluous or incomplete shelves, unsold pots and pans, everything, piled up, only about two people standing side by side.

Yin Seventeen stood on this narrow ground, his eyes constantly wandering through this pile of debris.

Suddenly, she crouched down.

Ye Ziluo saw Yin Seventeen looking in front of a stack of Sixi pine trays, he stepped into the small cubicle in two steps, and his tall and straight figure immediately stuffed the small space even more cramped:

"Something wrong with the tray?"

Yin Seventeen laboriously moved the whole stack of more than ten pallets in two parts, and his eyes fell on the wooden plank under the trays:

"No, there's something wrong with something underneath!"

Ye Ziluo also saw the plank: "This long plank is a bit like a ......"

As he spoke, he suddenly squatted down in the only open space beside Yin Seventeen:

"Wooden box!"

Yin Seventeen laughed: "Ziluo, help me take it out!" ”

She gave up her place, and Leaf Fall quickly removed the debris that had piled up on top of the wooden box, revealing it.

As soon as I opened it, I saw an ordinary fishing rod!

The two of them came out of the cubicle, sat down on a stool in the inner room, and placed the wooden box on the round table.

Ye Ziluo asked, "Why did you suddenly think of this small cubicle in the grocery store?" ”

Yin Seventeen said: "Because the only place facing the lake and having a windowsill is this small cubicle. ”

So she walked around Wuzi Lake a few times, and when she stopped at Yucheng Bridge to look down, in addition to the lake, willows, Linfeng Pavilion, flower boats, and pear blossom boats, there was only this Wuzi grocery store!

At that time, she was thinking, suppose that on the night of the tenth day of August last year, Yao Jun, Xiaoyaozi, Lin Ya, and the fourth person, they were all here, all by the Wuzi Lake.

Except for the fourth person, the other three people have confirmed that they brought fishing rods that night, so what about this fourth person?

Did you also bring a fishing rod to Wuzi Lake for night fishing?

If so, then who is this fourth person most likely?

There are two possibilities, one is a person who deliberately came to Wuzi Lake for night fishing like Lin Ya, and the other is someone like Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi who were originally on the edge of Wuzi Lake.

From near to far, she naturally had to rule out the possibility of near first.

Then this close possibility looks all over Wuzi Lake, and the most likely is this Wuzi grocery store.

The only window sill facing the lake at the Wuzi grocery store is the cubicle in the grocery store.

Ye Ziluo said: "Do you suspect that the fourth person is someone from the Wuzi grocery store?" No, with the wooden box and the rod inside, this is no longer a suspicion, but can be confirmed! ”

Yin Seventeen got up and said, "Immediately ask who ran this grocery store." ”

Ye Ziluo quickly walked out of the inner room and asked the couple who were guarding the storefront outside.

The couple were a little confused, and when they received the order to take down the grocery store by Wuzi Lake as soon as possible, the two did not ask about the original boss.

The two of them only roughly knew where the original boss lived, which was enough for Yin Seventeen.

The original owner of Wuzi Grocery Store was called Ji Guangfa, and he lived in Qili Hutong in the county.

After leaving Wuzi Lake, Yin Seventeen asked Ye Ziluo to inform Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng, and asked the two to rush to Qili Hutong, while she went to Ji Guang to make a fortune first.

When he arrived at Ji Guangfa's house, he couldn't knock on Ji Guangfa's door for a long time, and he was so anxious that Yin Seventeen almost kicked the door.

In the end, the neighbors around Qili Hutong told Yin Seventeen that after Ji Guangfa did not run a grocery store a year ago, he changed his profession and became a merchant walking through the streets and alleys every day, and he would not return home until sunset every day.

Yin Seventeen asked Ji Guangfa again where he went on weekdays?

The neighbor lady said, "This is not possible! In the past year, the entire Jiebei County has been almost covered by him, and everything is very familiar, not to mention that this thing is sold a little today, a little tomorrow, where can it always be sold in one place! I must move a few more places, so that the same thing can sell more! ”

Yin Qiqi had to ask a different question: "Does the eldest lady know what Ji Guangfa is mainly selling?" ”

This time, the eldest lady replied: "There are many!" It's all things that some girls and women want, like rouge gouache, hairpin rings, flowers, hairbands, and grates, anyway, they are all small jewelry used by some women! It's not worth a few dollars, just a delicate and fresh! ”

Yin Seventeen understood.

After thanking me for saying goodbye to my aunt, as soon as I got out of Qili Hutong, I met Ye Ziluo who came with Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng:

"Seventeen! You're not ......."

Yin Seventeen said: "Ji Guangfa is not at home, he is a merchant, and he will still sell things through the streets and alleys." ”

Along the way, Ye Ziluo had already told Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng about the matter, and after listening to Yin Seventeen's speculation, the two also felt that it made sense.

But at the same time, I was faintly worried that if Yin Seventeen guessed wrong, and the fourth person was not a person on the edge of Wuzi Lake at all, then tomorrow would be the tenth day of the eighth month, and there would be no more deaths in the realm, so what if there were people's lives?

Jiang Dapeng felt that it was a matter of human life, so he didn't hide it, and after hearing about Ji Guangfa's situation, he directly expressed his worries.

Yin Seventeen was not annoyed that Jiang Dapeng had no confidence in her, but was polite and friendly to Jiang Dapeng, so that he could think about the people, reflect at all times, and strive to make the most thoughtful official errand, which is the real good official errand.

She didn't force Jiang Dapeng to believe her speculation, after all, speculation is just speculation, and until the last moment, it is difficult to say that it must be right.

So in the end, the soldiers were divided into two ways.

Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng continued to look for people who might appear in Wuzihu on the tenth day of August last year, and Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo went to find Ji Guangfa.

It was not enough to rely on the two of them to find it, so Jiang Dapeng asked Yin Seventeen:

"I wonder how many people Brother Yin needs?"

Yin Seventeen didn't answer and asked: "Brother Jiang, do you know that there are several places in the entire Jiebei County that are the best places to sell women's jewelry?" There is no need to be rich, it is the kind of place that is very ordinary, has a few spare money, and often buys some cheap jewelry, rather than the kind of place where you can keep your family frugally and buy an ordinary and worthless piece of small jewelry, and you have to think about it a lot. ”

Jiang Dapeng just frowned and thought hard, Jiang Sheng had already stepped forward and replied:

"I know that! Just seven places! ”

Those seven places are also a few alleys and alleys.

This is the most likely place, and if you add in other places that are less likely, it is really too many to count.

Jiang Sheng is the same age as Yin Seventeen, except for his temper, he is not ambiguous at all when he does things, and even his thinking reaction is sometimes much faster than Jiang Dapeng.

Even if a woman from a good family has a few spare money, most of them buy small jewelry once in a long time.

But the seven places Jiang Sheng said are really as described by Yin Seventeen, that is, there are a few places with spare money that like to change jewelry and dress up frequently, but they are not rich, so they have to pick cheap small jewelry to buy.

Such a place, in fact, to put it bluntly, is Flower Street Willow Lane.

Yin Seventeen didn't say it explicitly, but Jiang Sheng was the first to hear it.

In the end, Mo said that Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo looked at Jiang Sheng a little differently from the other officials, and even Jiang Dapeng, who was the most sluggish about this kind of thing, reacted, slapped it with a tiger palm, and planned to torture him.

Ignoring Jiang Sheng's screaming begging for mercy from time to time behind him, and the voice of aggrieved explanation, Yin Seventeen brought five servants from Jiang Dapeng, plus Ye Ziluo, a total of seven people, divided into seven roads, and immediately dispersed to the seven places provided by Jiang Sheng to find Ji Guangfa.

The five officials had already listened to Yin Seventeen's assignment, and each of them went to the assigned place to start looking for the merchant Ji Guangfa, while Ye Ziluo took Yin Seventeen to the quieter corner of Qili Hutong:

"Seventeen, if Ji Guangfa is really the fourth person in the poisoning death case, then the murderer must have been eyeing him, plus the previous murderer has also targeted you, and he also sent a square wooden box to warn, such a danger should not let me act separately from you, but I also know that I can't change what you decide, although you also have the Ye family secretly following and protecting you, but the murderer is not good at stubble, and his skills are far above you, this time you go to Huanong Hutong, whether you find Ji Guangfa or not, you have to be extremely careful!"

After listening to the long passage of the leaves, Yin Seventeen's heart was warm, and he promised with a smile:

"I see, I'm going to come back to you with all my beard! Rest assured! No matter how dangerous things are, I have also experienced them, not to mention that Huanong Hutong is not a no-man's land, no matter how bold the murderer is, he will not commit murder in the daytime, exposing himself to Lang Lang Qiankun! ”

Knowing that Yin Seventeen was reasonable, Ye Ziluo was still not very relieved, and he suddenly felt that he was listening to Yin Seventeen too much?

As the third person of the Yanjing Ye family's generation, he has been a personal guard trained for the Yanjing Yin family since he was a child.

Since it is a personal guard, it should always be by Yin Seventeen's side, instead of being supported to do all kinds of things.

It was also because he didn't pay too much attention to and adapt to this kind of personal guard, after confirming that Yin Seventeen was Miss Yanjing's Yin family, he also went out three times and twice to run errands, so that he gave Yin Seventeen the illusion, in fact, he didn't have to follow her all the time.

Now that I think about it, it's really his fault!

When Jiebei's case is clear, he has to talk to Yin Seventeen about it.

Ye Ziluo decided in his heart, but he didn't say anything more on his face, only said to be careful, and went to Miaoqing Hutong, which he was responsible for finding.

Yin Qiqi looked at Ye Ziluo's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, and knew that there was something in his heart, and most of the things he was hiding were related to her.

And most of the things related to her are related to the Yanjing Yin family or the Ye family, and obviously now is not the time to pay attention to this kind of thing.

After the leaves fell, Yin Seventeen also quickly went to Huanong Hutong.

She is not from Jiebei County, so she is naturally unfamiliar with the streets and alleys of Jiebei County.

Before the five officials set off to find someone, they followed the route they pointed out to her, and walked for about two quarters of an hour before they arrived at Huanong Hutong.

It's really Flower Street Willow Lane, and it's so quiet during the day that you can hear a needle.

Walking in the Huanong Hutong, Yin Qiqi suddenly remembered the first case she handled with Zhanyan after officially entering the Hongs County Ya, that is, the arrow shooting case committed by Zeng Pinzheng and Li Shibao.

Zhanyan and flowers have come to start first than her and the leaves, and I don't know where to go at this time?

Probably won't be as procrastinating as her, and she will investigate the case halfway, so she should be in Yanjing soon, right?

After returning home in Yanjing, I don't know which high-ranking family in Yanjing he is?

Will it be one of the eight great families?

And Zhanyan will indeed arrive in Yanjing soon, he and Hua Zilai are riding fast horses, and they will change horses every time they arrive at the post station, which is almost a fast horse and a hurry.

Just when Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo were stranded in Jiebei County to investigate the case, Zhanyan and Hua Zilai had already entered Xiangting County.

As long as you cross the boundary of Xiangting County, you will enter the suburbs of Yanjing and belong to the boundary of Yanjing. (To be continued.) )
