Chapter 251: Capturing the Murderer's Shadow

"This official knows that your kid likes to hide a hand." Chen You'an sat and waited for him to solve his puzzles.

"However, it's inconvenient to talk here, so please come to a place with Lord Chenyou."

Ning Xiaoxiao mysteriously took Chen You to change into civilian clothes, passed through the unique passage of the Criminal Department, and went to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers - here is independent, the lake is clean, the birds are crying, and the hut is like a lonely old man, sitting quietly by the lake, waiting for the arrival of someone who is destined.

Chen You deliberately lowered his hat and asked in a low voice:

"Did you put that kid here?"

"Yes, although the criminal department is all its own people, after all, there are many people, so many people come in and out every day, who knows if there are eyes and ears of the murderer, so I deliberately let him stay here to live." Ning Xiaoxiao spit out the horse feeding grass in her mouth and walked quietly towards the hut.

"So, you just said in the Criminal Department that the kid didn't wake up..."Chen Youhu said suspiciously.

"He's awake."

Ning Xiaoxiao's words instantly ignited Chen You's hope, and now, he only needs to draw a portrait of the murderer according to the confession of the witness.

A familiar knock sounded in his ears, three times heavy, two times weak, this is a unique code of the Criminal Department, and before long, the door opened, and a white-haired old woman opened the bamboo door.

"Greetings to the two adults."

Chen You raised his eyes and looked at the old man with an old voice, and was suddenly stunned, and said in surprise, "Ah Yu, how can you pretend to be like this." ”

Ning Xiaoxiao took Chen's right shoulder and motioned for Ah Yu to push aside.

"No way, now the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, it is better to be careful and subtle, before solving the case, they will all dress up as two mothers-in-law and grandchildren, stay here, and save any mistakes."

"Then you can also pretend to be a man, his face is so majestic and high-spirited, the official can see at a glance that this old woman is a fake." Chen You couldn't help but complain.

"Really? Didn't Lord Chenyou recognize it because he knew the Arabic language? Ning Xiaoxiao turned around, looked at the disguise of his subordinate Ayu, and nodded, "This official thinks your disguise is very good." ”

Ah Yu, who was praised, silently closed the door.

"What's good?" Tatsu was speechless. "Tomorrow, you should dress up as two grandchildren, so as not to make people wonder what an old man with a transvestite is doing in a floral skirt and arresting children."

"Lord Chenyou, you have said this too much, it hurts people's self-esteem too much, who has a transvestite, right, Ah Yu." Ning Xiaoxiao bumped her elbow against the non-talkative Arabic language.

The silent Ah Yu glanced at Ning Xiaoxiao and silently withdrew his gaze.

"Look, what did you force Arabic to be, it shouldn't be your own personal preference, right?" Tatsu asked with a frown.

"Ah Yu, you have to help Lord Ben say something, redress your grievances!"

Ning Xiaoxiao tugged at Ah Yu's clothes and said coquettishly, and his subordinate Ah Yu slowly turned his eyes and replied word by word: "This place, the place, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, and leave quickly after investigating the case." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Ning Xiaoxiao felt that her beauty had been insulted, because he knew a secret that none of them knew, Arabic was a soft-looking woman, and she was not a man.

Although she didn't know what she was doing when she disguised herself as a man and went into the criminal department room on an errand, Ning Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be curious, and every time she saw her, she would tease her to say a few more words, but the beauty didn't appreciate it.

"Well, Ben-sama knows."

At this time, the child had already woken up, he walked over barefoot, and couldn't help but shout when he saw Ning Xiaoxiao, as if he had seen the murderer.

"Helpβ€”helpβ€”"

Like a screaming little mouse running away, he turned around and crawled under the bed, never to come out again.

"Ahh

Facing the skeptical gaze, Ning Xiaoxiao, who was stunned, waved her hand in a panic and swore: "Lord Ben swears, absolutely, absolutely... Absolutely, nothing has been done to him, what is the matter with this little white-eyed wolf? Lord Ben is his savior, is there such a thing as he is to his savior? ”

Ning Xiaoxiao said in a pitiful tone, as if she had received a lot of harm.

"Okay, it may be that there was a sudden change in the child's home, and you brought him to this kind of place, in his opinion, it is not to protect him, but more like imprisoning him, normal people will be afraid, let alone him."

"This rabbit cub, I really don't know how kind people are, how kind Lord Ben looks, right, Ayu." Ning Xiaoxiao took out the bronze mirror and asked while looking at the bronze mirror.

"......" Ah Yu gave him a blank look and did not speak.

Chen You patted his shoulder with sympathetic eyes, put away his saber, squatted under the bed, and said in a very gentle tone:

"If you think it's safer to stay inside, then you can stay there, this official is not a bad person, this official is here to find out the murderer of your parents."

Hearing the sound, there was the sound of palms slapping on the floor from under the bed, and a child's voice trembled slightly from under the bed.

"You're really... Can the murderer be caught? ”

"Yes." He replied softly, "Brother assures you that he will." ”

Ning Xiaoxiao leaned against the window, looked at the slender Ayu, and said thoughtfully: "However, you have been hiding under the bed all your life, just telling the murderer that you are afraid of him, and you must let him live freely and blatantly commit the crime again." ”

Chen You was silent, he didn't expect that Ning Xiaoxiao would say this so seriously at this time.

"I'm not afraid."

The three of them looked at it in shock, a small hand gradually stretched out from the darkness to the light, and the only orphan of the Yan family slowly crawled out from under the bed and looked directly into Ning Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Again.

"I'm not afraid of him at all."

Ning Xiaoxiao inadvertently raised the corners of her mouth and glanced at the child with satisfaction.

"So is Ben-sama."

After half a burnt incense, Ah Yu, who was disguised as an old woman, made a few cups of tea, Lord Chen held a pen and paper, ready to record the child's words at any time, and Ning Xiaoxiao sat in front of the desk, ready to write Danqing.

"What's your name?"

"Yan Yan, my father and mother are both called Yan Yan, what do you want to know? Just ask, as long as I know, I will tell you all. The little boy said excitedly.

"Then the official asked directly, you said that you had seen the murderer, do you remember what he looked like?"

The child nodded, then shook his head again.

"The man was wearing a hat both times, and I couldn't see what he looked like, but he wore the same anklet both times, and I recognized him."

"What kind of anklet?" Chen You raised his eyes slightly and handed him the pen and paper, "Can you draw it?" ”

The child nodded, took the brush, and drew a few strokes on the white paper with trembling palms.

"It's done."

The three of them walked over at the same time, and Ning Xiaoxiao and Chen You looked at the pattern that occupied the entire paper in surprise, and they were immediately excited.

- Swastika

"Did you really see this pattern?"

The little boy nodded and said timidly: "The first time, when he came to my house, my friends and I sneaked out of the private school to play, and we were tired of playing, but I was afraid that my father and mother would be beaten if they found out, so I secretly came back from the back mountain path, and happened to see him coming out of my house." ”

"Then how can you be sure that he is the murderer, and you saw him set the fire with your own eyes?"

The little boy shook his head and lowered his head with tears in his eyes.

"I didn't see him set the fire, but when my father and I fell to the ground, this man with an anklet stood in front of my father and mother, listening to them shout for help, and the man didn't do anything, just stood there, although I didn't see him, but I knew that the person... Laughing. ”

"He's laughing?"

Ning Xiaoxiao was angry, and he asked excitedly:

"You mean, he's still laughing as he watched your father die in front of him, and he didn't do anything indifferently?"

"Well, because I heard him, his laughter, though quiet, but terrible, squeaked like a bat flying around in the night."

Tears fell on the black palms, and the little boy's voice was smoky and hoarse, and it sounded even more poignant.

"He's really a pervert."

Ning Xiaoxiao stood in front of the window and looked closely at the white crane flying by, gritting her teeth uncontrollably.

"You can't see him, but can you see his height, his clothes, and the accessories on his body?"

Tatsuyo looked at him patiently, waiting for the little boy's answer.

"My lord, I saw it, is it possible that as long as I say this, I can catch the murderer of our family?" He clutched Tatsu's right sleeve and cried with tears streaming down his eyes.

"Yes, we'll be able to catch him."

Half an hour later, they took their hats again and went out of the hut with their backs to the lake.

"Ah Yu, then he will trouble you."

Ning Xiaoxiao rarely asked seriously, and the silent Ayu nodded and closed the door silently.

"Almost as tall as you, with a swastika anklet on your feet, a blue undergarment, a white robe and a hat, don't you think this dress looks like someone?"

Chen You muttered thoughtfully.

"You mean, the uncle of the Yan family, the miracle doctor surnamed Fu?" Ning Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, but after thinking about it, he also felt quite similar.

"It's not just him, people who like to wear teal, and you." Tatsumi stared at him solemnly.

"Eh, eh, Lord Chenyou is not like you, don't you see that rabbit cub shouting at Lord Ben, and suspect that Lord Ben is a pervert who set fire to the mountain, okay? Ben-sama is a hero who saves people, his savior! ”

"Okay, don't defend it, if the murderer is you, you can generously admit it, and the official will look at your past merits and your brother-in-law's identity, and plead for you as appropriate."

Ning Xiaoxiao looked at Chen You, who was joking casually, in surprise, and thought to herself, it wouldn't be because she had learned badly from his naughty sister, and sure enough, it was close to Zhu who was red and black who was close to ink.

He shouldn't have tried to match the two of them in the first place, he made a mistake! What a mistake!

"Isn't it possible that Lord Chenyou can't catch the murderer, so he wants to find Lord Ben at will?"

Looking at Ning Xiaoxiao, who had a difficult face, Chen You raised the corners of his mouth proudly, not hiding the fact that he was proud of the spring breeze.

"Okay, let's get down to business, don't you have anything else to say, our powerful Lord Ning."

Ning Xiaoxiao unwillingly got on the horse, looked into the distance and said:

"Lord Ben also found two new clues at the scene of the crime, first, the parents of the deceased, on their deathbed, bit their fingers and wrote a seemingly unfinished word, three points."

"Three points?" Chen You's brain thought quickly: "There are many words with three points, stream, wash, thirst, river, light, lake, mu... It can refer not only to the name of the murderer, but also to the physical characteristics of the murderer, and even, it is a totem like the swastika. ”

"Don't think about this, compare this clue, the other one is much more useful, Lord Ben found footprints of the same size in the Yan family's chicken farm, and the footprints left by the swineherd in Falling Water City are exactly the same."

Ning Xiaoxiao took out the rubbing of the footprints in her arms and handed it to Chen You, and someone's expression became extremely serious.

"This official doesn't believe in coincidences, if he guesses correctly, this is left by the murderer, he is really just like we guessed, a serial poisoner and animal torturer."

"That's not right."

Ning Xiaoxiao's whole face sank, interrupting the excited Chen You, and her voice was cold.

"He's not just an animal torturer, he's a real murderer now."
