Early in the morning, Chen You patrolled on the bustling street, by the way, I wanted to inquire, did anyone know the whereabouts of the jade mother on the day of the accident, after searching the river and the stream all night last night, I received a secret report to go to Yan's house to search for suspects and clues, but I still found nothing, and I stayed up all night.

"Excuse me, this aunt, have you seen this person on September 20?"

Chen You resisted the urge to yawn, took the portrait of the Jade Mother, and asked seriously.

"Who's your aunt?" Huang Po, who sold vegetables, glared at him, ignored it and continued to bury herself in sorting out the cabbage in the basket.

"So, what should I call you down?"

Chen You smiled helplessly, and as soon as the words fell, he heard a neutral voice in his ears, shouting: "Beauty, how can this dish be sold?" ”

A middle-aged uncle squatted down and began to pick fresh carrots and Chinese cabbage in front of the stall of Huang Po, who was in his seventies.

"Young man, look at it, what kind of eyes, call me aunt." Huang Po pulled the basket and said indignantly.

Someone was immediately stunned, his lips trembled, and he couldn't scream for a long time, the two words that seemed ordinary but profound were profound.

"Beautiful... Beauty..."

Suddenly, a hearty voice came from his ear, and he asked politely: "Beauty, how do you sell this white radish?" ”

"Ouch, seeing that your mouth is so sweet and you look so good-looking, count you for three cents a pound and sell you cheaply." Huang Po instantly smiled.

"That's embarrassing, but you have to be careful when you go in and out recently, although the flower thief has been caught, but the murderer who killed the Yu family has not been caught, beauty, you have to be careful when you go in and out." Ning Kawaii picked up two big fat radishes and put them on the scales.

"I haven't caught it yet, the government just eats rice, how many days have it been, and the murderer hasn't been found yet." Huang Po was shocked.

Someone standing on the side 'hit' an arrow for no reason.

"If anyone knows where Old Madam Yu went that day, maybe the people in the government will know who followed her, and who had an argument with her, so as to catch the prisoner, but unfortunately, no one saw her that day." Ning Lovely said with annoyance.

Chen You can hear it, someone is helping him inquire about clues in the name of buying vegetables.

"Who said that?"

Listening to this excited voice, Ning Lovely felt that there was a chance.

"Beauty, do you know some big secrets?"

"Forget it, seeing that it's you, don't make a noise, lest the murderer come and harm me."

After that, Huang Po mysteriously approached her ear and whispered a little.

"I see."

The tall woman, who paid the money, carried the basket, pulled up Chen and turned around to leave.

"Miss Ning, men and women can't kiss each other." He reminded in a loud voice.

"Ah, forgot." Ning Kawai immediately let go of his hand and muttered: "Lord Chenyou is really old-fashioned, but he touches his sleeves, and he says that men and women don't kiss, no wonder the eldest brother always says that you can't please your daughter-in-law, let Ben Yu suffer a little bit and marry you." ”

Hearing this, Chen You's face suddenly became a little shy.

I didn't expect Ning Xiaoxiao and his sister to talk about such nonsense.

"If he really said that, watch the official go back and don't clean him up!" He silently clenched his fists.

"To be honest, do you like that eldest lady of the Yan family? According to this catch, you are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven. ”

"Don't talk about it."

Chenyou's voice suddenly sank.

"What's wrong?"

"She's married, and if you say that, you'll ruin her reputation."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just coming here, and I don't know the inside story, so don't you like married women?"

Ning Lovely suddenly exclaimed, so frightened that Chen You hurriedly covered her mouth, and suddenly a touch of softness passed in her palm, and she suddenly felt a little strange.

"Don't, don't talk nonsense, there's no such thing."

She looked at the nervous Chenyou in a daze, nodded, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot.

"Uh-huh..."

"What are you talking about?"

Tatsu You slowly let go of his hand, the soft touch was still in the palm of his hand, he felt that he had gone a little too far, and he hid his right hand behind him weakly.

"I said, I know, in fact, denying it so quickly is usually a sign of weakness." Ning Kaie blinked her big eyes, looked at him meaningfully, and smiled.

Chen You really took this girl, and I don't see her so shrewd on weekdays.

"Don't talk about those who don't have it, Fang Cai, what did you find out from Huang Po."

"Huang Po said that that night, she closed the stall a little late, and she had to go to West Street to collect two bad debts, as a result, halfway through, she saw Mrs. Yu coming out of Rongxianglou, as if drunk, the whole person stumbled to the river, she wanted to be kind to go up to take a look, how did she know that the watch just passed..."

"Did you do anything special?" Tatsu Youhu asked suspiciously.

Ning Lovely shook her head.

"I don't know, anyway, Huang Po said that when she saw that everyone was up, then the others must be about to close the door and go to sleep, so they rushed to West Street to collect the accounts."

"That is to say, on the night of the crime, Yu's mother went to Rongxianglou and went to the river near Rongxianglou." Tatsu Right analyzed to himself.

"By the way, Huang Po also said that she saw a person at that time, sneakily hiding aside."

"Who?" Tatsu said nervously.

"It seems that he is a habitual offender, specializing in stealing things, wearing a tattered gray clothes, and his face is full of pockmarks..." ”

It's too late, it's fast, Ning Kawai took a big radish and threw it at the thief, just hit the thief's knee, the other party knelt heavily on the ground, she picked up a long bamboo pole on the side of the street, rushed over, propped up the bamboo pole, jumped across the river, and blocked in front of the thief.

"Do you dare to run, do you think you can escape this catch? I'm the best catcher ever! ”

The hand rose and fell, Ning Cute clapped his hands, and stared triumphantly at the trembling thief, who was caught before he could figure out what was going on, and the whole person was blinded.

"Why are you again, can't you let me go?"

The thief cried and fell to his knees with a face full of despair.

"No, this time, you must follow Ben Yu back to the yamen as soon as possible."

The process of catching the thief is like a smooth flow, if it weren't for Chen You seeing it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Ning Kawai was such a quick person.

"Wait."

Just crossed the bridge, Chenyou, who ran over, shouted.

"What's the matter, you have something to say to him?"

Ning Kawaii raised her long legs and put them on the bridge pier, blocking the thief.

"Well, Miss Shainin, but why are you holding on to his belt?"

"Last time, Ben caught his collar quickly, so he let him escape with a trick 'Golden Cicada Shell', this time Ben Catch quickly grabbed his belt, as soon as he ran, his pants fell off, see where he ran bare-legged?" Ning Lovely said seriously.

"I see," Chen You nodded in admiration.

"Eat a sting and grow a wisdom, isn't it smart to catch it quickly?" Ning Lovely looked at Chen You happily, begging for praise with anticipation.

"Clever, clever."

Chen You dodged her gaze, turned his head to look at the thief who was grabbed by his belt, and said:

"This official asks you, on the night of September 20, did you ever appear near Rongxiang Building?"

"My lord, what happened more than ten days ago, little one, how can you remember it so clearly?" The thief said sloppily.

"Ben Zhu quickly advises you to recruit from the truth, lest I personally interrogate you."

After that, Ning Cute raised her white fist in front of the thief's eyes, and her joints gurgled.

"Alas, don't, don't, my lord, you can't just use lynching. ”

"Then speak quickly!"

She stared at the thief so tightly that he panicked.

"Okay, actually, the little one did appear near Rongxiang Building that day."

Chen You raised his eyes slightly, and asked nervously, "What are you going to do there?" ”

"Just, you know, go... That pee. The thief said brazenly.

"You dare to talk nonsense."

After that, Ning Cute, whose eyes were slightly angry, stretched the thief's belt.

"Don't don't, the pants are falling off, they're falling off." The thief was so anxious that he was about to cry.

"Have you figured it out?"

Chen You admired Ning's lovely 'interrogation skills', and really didn't think of herself as a woman at all.

"Think clearly, that day, the little one went to Rongxianglou and stole something."

The thief finally relented.

"Ke Rongxianglou, you can't enter without an invitation, how can you steal things?"

"Go back to the lord, you can't get in, you can steal it outside, those dignitaries often park the sedan chair in front of the gate, if you are a beggar dressed like a villain, you can occasionally ask for some money, if you meet the master who has just come out, you can also have something on him."

"Then have you ever touched the woman in the portrait and passed her things?"

Chen You raised the portrait in his hand, and the thief tried to keep his eyes open, staring at the eyebrows and eyes of the woman in the portrait, and suddenly, he was shocked.

He just wanted to shake his head, just in time for Shang Ning's cute fist, so he had to take a deep breath and tell the truth.

"Small, I have indeed seen her."

"Just seen?" Chen You's tone strengthened slightly.

"Not only that, the little one, but also thought about going up to talk to her, wanting to take advantage of her drunk, and get some money, silver, jewelry, or something."

"Tell me more." Chen You's gaze suddenly sharpened a little.

So the thief told the story of that night.

"It wasn't the full moon that day, the moonlight was a little dark, and the small eyes had some old problems, and they couldn't see particularly clearly at night, so that day, the small half of the oil and water were not fished, and they were almost beaten by the big official who got off the sedan chair at the door of Rongxiang Building, and later, the little one felt unlucky, and wanted to be in the corner of the wall, find a place where no one saw, convenient, and go home to sleep early after the convenience, how do you know, just met this drunk woman by the small."

"How do you know she must be drunk?"

"Back to my lord, which drunk person is not like her, drunk with a red face and thick neck, walking cross steps, having to hold on to the wall, the little one saw the golden hairpin on her bun, it seemed to be worth a lot of money, so he moved his mind and wanted to take the opportunity to go back with one or two pieces."

"So, you took all her things with you, along with her clothes?"

"Bah, baba, she is so young, she looks older than my grandmother, she can move that mind, is she still human? Besides, it's not convenient for a man to take a woman's clothes to a pawnshop to change money, how conspicuous it is. ”

"Then even if you make sense, what happened after that, and what did you do?" Tatsumi asked patiently.

"You still don't ask, it's unlucky, the little one was about to do it, a mad dog from nowhere suddenly rushed out, barked at the small one, I was not convinced, picked up a stone to fight back, just hit its dog head, the mad dog chased me like crazy for more than a dozen streets, and bit my buttocks, just got out of bed today, and was caught by you, which is also unlucky."

The thief grimaced and spoke bitterly about the tragic experiences he had encountered when he tried to do something bad.

"So, you didn't steal anything? So where was her person before you were chased by the dog, and is she still alive? Tatsuyo asked carefully.

"Of course she was alive, she was by the river at the time, and the little one saw that there were a few peach blossom lanterns at her feet, which were covered with yellow charms, and they looked so scary, I don't know what I want to do?"

"Yellow Fu?" Chen You was stunned.
