Chapter Twenty-Six: The geese pass without a trace, but there are traces

Yes, Xiao Yan nodded, and Ishikawa believed it 200%.

Because, in the past, when the prince acted, he often did not play cards according to the card. Now, with the addition of a scheming and slippery Bei Xiaoyan by his side, then he will only act more elusively, and he will have no last resort.

So, with a good plan, Ishikawa was calculated.

Ishikawa sighed deeply, smiled helplessly bitterly, let go of his hand and reproached Xiao Yan: "Then you can also reveal some news to me in advance, I know and it can't be bad." ”

"Tell you first? Hehe, if you had known in advance, would you have fought so hard, so hard, and so happily? If you don't be fierce, hardworking, and happy, how can Master Li believe it? ”

Along the way, Xiao Yan took care of explaining the cause and effect to Ishikawa, and he was so gushing that he was about to dry his saliva, and after saying this, he was ready to seal his mouth.

Because, the matter is completely explained, it is useless to say more.

"That's right, if I knew in advance that those killers were our people, I would definitely be merciful, and if I fight, I would definitely be restrained and unhappy." Ishikawa nodded to himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head, disappeared Xiao Yan, walked a few steps closer, followed closely by his side, glanced at the latter, who closed his lips tightly and didn't want to say any more, but he still couldn't help but say: "Master's plan, it's good anywhere, it's just that you wronged Governor Li, and it made him hang up some color!" ”

Xiao Yan didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, but he couldn't help it, and said with a cold smile: "I wronged him, I just hung up some color!" If it weren't for the prince who persuaded those people to quit, how could it be as simple as letting him hang some color? ”

"Where do you start? Could it be that this Governor Li has done something that hurts heaven and reason? Ishikawa was so startled that he almost jumped up again.

God knows what he's been through all night! It's really a good show, and it's dizzying! Dizzy!

Being kept in the dark, calculated, and used is still reasonable, after all, it is necessary to capture Yu Qiukong's plan. Fortunately, his heart is strong, and when he roars and jumps, it's all over.

But now, I finally understood it, and there was a bigger doubt, or about Shuzhou, the biggest parent official, so this matter is big.

Looking at Xiao Yan, the latter had an uncommented expression on his face, so he had to suppress his doubts first.

……

While speaking, everyone walked quickly and hurriedly, and they had already arrived in the southern city.

Youbei pointed to the two places that Yu Qiukong had been to and said, "This is it, he first went to Nanqing Lane, and then went directly to Kangning Fang." ”

"Youdong Youbei, you go to Kangning Fang, Younan goes to Nanqing Lane, take a look at the general situation first, and then decide where to search first." Mu Qing finished the order and stood quietly with frowns.

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

A quarter of an hour later, the three went back and forth.

Younan replied: "Master, in Nanqing Lane, the road is not only big, but also tidy, and most of the houses and courtyards are new, and there are more than twenty or thirty families living in them, and they seem to be some well-off families. ”

Youdong replied: "Master, in Kangning Fang, the road is wide and deep, and there are many forks, roughly counting that there are hundreds of households, and there are new and old houses. That is, more than half of this place, there is a large market, and it must be very lively during the day.

After listening to this, Mu Qing did not hesitate, and directly ordered: "In Nanqing Lane, go check the ...... one by one"

After Youdong Younan Youbei took the order to go, Ishikawa was puzzled and muttered, according to his past experience, shouldn't he go to Kangning Fang to investigate? There are many houses, and there is a large market, and there are many people and it is not easy to be suspected, isn't it a great place to hide?

"Yu Qiukong likes to be clean, and he will never live in a place where there is a market and there is a mess." Xiao Yan on the side saw through his muttering and mentioned it casually.

"Oh yes, I forgot, he likes to be clean and tidy."

……

After more than half an hour, all the three people who went to investigate came back, all of them looking disappointed, and they should have gained nothing.

There are only twenty or thirty households in this alley, and it stands to reason that with the skills of the three of them, it won't take more than half an hour.

This shows that they were afraid that there would be something missing, so they cautiously repeated the check, but still did not find it, so they came back with a disappointed face.

"It stands to reason that Yu Qiukong returned here without noticing that he was being followed, which shows that this place is indeed suspicious. Since Nanqing Lane can't be found, then I can only go to Kangning Fang to find it. Ishikawa is still a fluke about his opinion.

"However, there are many houses in Kangning Fang, and if we want to search room by room, just the three of us, plus the two of you, I am afraid that we will not be able to finish the search at dawn." Youdong looked at Ishikawa, who was clinging to Xiao Yan, and his face was sad.

"I think it's still Nanqing Lane that is the most suspicious, Youdong, you can tell me about the situation of these families carefully." Xiao Yan disagreed with Ishikawa.

Youdong thought about it carefully and said: "Among these people's families, there are more than a dozen households that can completely rule out suspicion, and they are all serious businessmen, and the masters and servants are all registered. But we went in anyway and quietly checked, and everything was normal. ”

"It's weird, how do you know so clearly?" Ishikawa was very curious, how did Youdong know so much about the information of the residents in the alley in a very short period of time? Didn't you say you sneaked in to check it out?

Youdong took out a booklet from his arms, raised it in the air, and said: "The subordinates tracked this place before, and Yu Qiukong disappeared, so I first went to ask the chief for the household register here, and then went back to my master."

"Sure enough, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals! Careful as a hair! Xiao Yan praised it and asked, "Which ones are suspicious?" ”

"There are four households in all: two of the courtyards are vacant, as if they had been for a long time, and the register shows that they were two families surnamed Wang and Li who were engaged in business, and somehow did not live in the house; The other two small courtyards, one is where the iron seller Li and his wife live, and the other is registered as the shopkeeper of the king who bought cloth. However, there was only one man in the blacksmith Li's house at home, and one more woman came out from the shopkeeper's house, but it was not easy for his subordinates to go in and check carefully, because they ...... "Youdong's face turned red as he spoke, but fortunately, in the night, everyone did not notice anything unusual about him.

After speaking, seeing that everyone was silent, he added: "Then the subordinates will go to the king's shopkeeper's house to search carefully?" ”

"No, let's go to Blacksmith Li's house first." After Xiao Yan finished speaking decisively, Mu Qing also nodded.

After a while, everyone came to a small courtyard, and when they looked out the window, there was a big man in the room who was snoring like thunder, sleeping ugly, and sleeping deeply.

"The subordinates just went in to see it, and the person on the couch was Blacksmith Li, and he had carefully inspected it at home, and there was nothing unusual. I just don't know why, but his wife is not at home? Youdong explained in a low voice.

Xiao Yan shook his head, such a rough person would have nothing to do with Yu Qiukong. Immediately signaled to go to the next house, the house of the shopkeeper Wang, who lived alone.

As soon as everyone arrived, the lights were turned on at the shopkeeper's house, but Youdong retreated and refused to step forward, only Xiao Yan and Ishikawa flashed to the window and listened to the movement inside.

The male voice said: "Yan'er, don't go, I'll go back at dawn, I don't want you to go." ”

Female voice: "Damn, let go, don't go back, you'll be found by that old thing, and if you hammer it down, it will hammer you flat." ”

The male voice: "When I save some more money, I will take you away, look at your little appearance like a flower, and be a lady for the old man who sells iron, I am really wronged by you."

Female voice: "Your money is not given to you by the old lady, with your little shopkeeper, earn a few small money, and spend all day and night, is it enough for the old lady?" Although he sells iron, his ancestors are honest, and your room is still rented from his family?

Male voice: Vixen......

Inside the house, there were bursts of obscene laughter from a man and a woman.

Ishikawa shook his head, and finally understood, this was the shopkeeper Wang stealing people, and it was the lady of the landlord's blacksmith Li who stole it.

It is estimated that when Youdong arrived, he was acting as a demon inside, and he happened to be seen by Youdong, so he was red-faced as soon as he talked about it, and he didn't dare to go in to investigate it carefully.

Ishikawa frowned at Youdong before squeezing his eyes again, and the latter lowered his head in embarrassment, looking at his feet.

"Let's go, don't learn badly." Xiao Yan pushed Ishikawa and walked out, and suddenly asked Youdong again: "Are there other single women living alone in this alley?" ”

Frightened, Ishikawa turned to look at Xiao Yan, "What are you going to do?" It's hard to want to go to the show again! ”

"I have a big head and a lot of water, are you Bei Ye and I so vulgar and boring?" Xiao Yan glared at Ishikawa fiercely.

"Yes, there is a man named Juan Niang, who lives near the bottom of the alley." Youdong is not like Ishikawa, and replied seriously.

"Then did you go into her house just now and see it, is there anything unusual about her house?"

"Subordinate, subordinate, no, I haven't been in, I just looked in by the window, and she was already asleep." Youdong suddenly began to stutter again.

"Oh, I'm asleep, so you can't go in and check it out, right?" Xiao Yan stared at Youdong closely, looking left and right, up and down, and couldn't help but sigh, "Youdong, you should see it tonight, you shouldn't see it, you saw it all, right!" ”

Youdong was immediately at a loss, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he blurted out in a panic: "No, the subordinates only see her back." ”

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you afraid of? I didn't see it clearly, so I ran away in fear! ”

Youdong nodded desperately, "How did Master Bei know?" ”

"Let's go, let's go to her house again!" Mu Qing gave an order, and a group of people rushed to Juanniang's house.

This is a small and delicate small courtyard, all the objects in the courtyard are neat and orderly, the wooden pot next to the well, there is also a pot of quiet and quiet well water, the flowers and plants in the small flower garden are green and rich, a peach blossom in the corner of the wall will not be spit out, under the moonlight, it is very charming.

It can be seen that this is a courtyard cleaned up by the hands of a dexterous housewife.

However, somehow, Xiao Yan remembered the meditation rooms on the top of Jiulong Mountain, which were similar to here.

While everyone was admiring the elegance of the courtyard, Ishikawa flashed to the window and looked through the crack in the window.

On the couch, there was a woman lying on her side, her black hair scattered on the pillow, and the quilt was moved down, revealing most of her jade back, which was white and dazzling under the moonlight.

It turned out that the woman lying on her side inside didn't seem to be wearing any clothes.

Ishikawa only glanced at it, exclaimed, "Mom", then retreated, and glanced back at Youdong, only then did he understand that he stammered just now, and his face was red, and his ears were hot, saying that he had never gone in to take a closer look, and the reason was here.

seems to ask, the jade body in the house, how dare Youdong go in and take a closer look?

Ishikawa glanced at Xiao Yan a few times, and the two of them looked at each other hesitantly for a long time, and both motioned to the other party to go in first to find out.

But the eyes came and went, but they didn't see one of them move, and neither of them wanted to go in to check.

However, I don't want to give up. Because if you don't go in and look carefully, what if?

"It would be much more convenient if there was a woman here." Ishikawa muttered casually when he saw that no matter how he stared and his round eyes made the person opposite him move.

"I'm coming!" A crisp and pleasant female voice whispered softly in Ishikawa's ear......
