Chapter 22: Hidden Mysteries in Books and Books

The next day, inside the inn.

Xiao Yan yawned and stretched his waist to the front hall, where Mu Qing was holding a book and was reading it intently.

"Brother Mu, you're hungry, you're so hungry, why didn't you wake up your little brother with delicious food today?"

"It's okay today, please take care of it." Mu Qing said without raising his head.

"Alas, you are a terrible person, and when you can use people, you use food to coerce and lure; When they don't need me, they abandon me and leave me to fend for myself. Xiao Yan muttered.

"Master, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" At this moment, Ishikawa also walked in with his eyes rubbed.

"Oh, that's right, your grandfather just said, let's please!" Xiao Yan squinted at Ishikawa.

"Please, what do you mean?"

"Please poop means, please whatever, whatever you want, whatever you want, whatever you want, he will immediately order someone to buy it." Xiao Yan tells lies and doesn't make drafts, he just keeps his mouth and does it in one go.

Unexpectedly, Ishikawa believed it and said excitedly: "Okay! I am really generous today, then I want the braised Dongting Lake big carp, sauced beef, called flower chicken, duck Bazhen soup, and a few more hors d'oeuvres, and, two catties of Fenjiu, perfect. "After ordering, turn around and leave.

It turned out that he was awakened from hunger like Xiao Yan, so he was in a hurry to come out to find food, and he didn't even wash his face! After ordering the food he had coveted for a long time, he turned around and went back to freshen up with satisfaction.

Ishikawa thought, when he was cleaned up and came out to face a table of delicacies, it would be too lazy for the gods to do it.

However, the result is ......

Ishikawa looked at the big white steamed buns and a big bowl of white porridge on the table, and asked with a crying voice, "Master, where is the dish I ordered?" ”

"Here!" Xiao Yan's hand was taken out from behind his back, and a large plate of pickles in his hand was placed on the table with a "bang".

"Where's the food I ordered? Braised big carp, beef in sauce, called flower chicken? Ishikawa was still stubbornly chanting the name of the dish, repeating the same words, probably because he was too disappointed and a little distracted.

"Your grandfather said, yesterday, let the little Taoist slip away from under his nose, he should be punished, punished for being a vegetarian for three days." Xiao Yan's sad face was worse than Ishikawa's tone.

"Master, when I came back last night, I didn't care about sleeping, and even ordered someone to go to Yu Qiukong's hometown to inquire. I said, don't care if it's Yu Qiukong or Yu Qiu, let me carefully investigate the rest of the space, especially the major cases that happened five years ago, and I have to check and find them one by one. ”

Ishikawa was aggrieved and reported to Mu Qing, expressing his determination to make amends.

"Got it!" Mu Qing only replied lightly with three words.

"Then you still want me to take a vegetarian diet for three days, last time, because I ate vegetarian for two days in a row, but I chased a murderer away, don't you forget?"

"I didn't say it! Can't forget! Mu Qing said six words lightly.

The meaning of the first three words is that he did not say that he wanted Ishikawa to eat a vegetarian diet for three days; The last three words are that Ishikawa will never forget such a mess as he chased down all the murderers because he was hungry. After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Ishikawa.

Ishikawa breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up a big steamed bun, took a big bite, and said aggrievedly: "I'm relieved, hey!" Not to mention, this big white steamed bun is quite fragrant. ”

While eating steamed buns aggrievedly, he said fragrant again, and he didn't forget to stare at Xiao Yan who was smiling on the side.

After eating a few big steamed buns in a row, Ishikawa looked at Mu Qing and pretended to be casual: "Master, I'm idle today, or I'll go out with you for a walk, just take a walk and take a look, okay?" ”

Ishikawa meant to ask Mu Qing to go to the Shen Mansion and see Miss Wen.

After all, they have been coming to Jinguancheng for a few days, and there is no progress in the matter at hand for the time being, so you can take advantage of this gap to see the people who should be seen.

However, Mu Qing ignored him, and still looked down at the book in his hand.

Ishikawa couldn't do anything, so he turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and squeezed his eyes at him, meaning that the latter would also help and persuade Mu Qing.

However, the latter smiled evilly and said loudly: "It's useless for you to squeeze your eyes at me, I never care about him, only you." ”

Sighing, Ishikawa was helpless, squinted at the book in Mu Qing's hand, shook his head and sighed: "This book, broken like this, is it beautiful?" What is it called a double butterfly, it looks very bells and whistles, and it is boring. ”

Cut. Xiao Yan cut and said, "You're wrong, this book is interesting." I heard that this year's Spring Festival drama of the Spring Festival Opera Troupe in the city is exactly this good show? I just sent someone to book all the tickets, and two days later in the evening, I will go to listen to this good show. ”

It turned out that after Xiao Yan and Mu Qing saw this book at Yu Qiukong's residence yesterday, they were very alert and thought about it more. After I came back, I sent someone to inquire, and sure enough, the name of this play was shocked in the list of this year's Spring Festival.

Therefore, the two of them began to ponder: This Yu Qiukong likes to read this book so much, it can be said that he likes it to the extreme, so will he also listen to this play!

It is worth pondering and intriguing, so the two ......

"What's the point? Aren't they just two butterflies? Fly, fly, fly to the flowers! What's interesting? Ishikawa spread his arms and made a flying gesture, with a look of disgust.

"You, don't underestimate this play, it has been popular in the market since the Yuan Dynasty, and it has become even more popular in the previous dynasty, and it is a poignant and legendary love story that everyone knows."

"Poignant, which means miserable! It's miserable and miserable, there is no good ending, and you can't watch or listen to it, this day is already bitter enough. Ishikawa spoke, squinting at Mu Qing, there was something in his words.

Ishikawa said it wasn't good-looking, it wasn't interesting, and he wasn't interested.

Then, Xiao Yan, who specializes in contradicting him, has to convince him, make him feel interesting, and be full of interest.

So, he said leisurely: "You don't know, how wonderful this play is, it is about a lady who dresses up as a man to go to Hongluoshan Academy to study......"

Without waiting for Xiao Yan to finish speaking, Ishikawa shouted loudly: "Enough, you are enough, a man pretending to be a woman for a while, and a woman pretending to be a man for a while, can't we be real, a man is a man, and a woman is a woman!" Ouch, Ben Catcher's head is so dizzy......

Ishikawa wasn't lying, his head was really dizzy.

Moreover, it's not your average dizziness!

Because, starting from Miss Yun's strange case of losing virginity, to the disappearance of the two famous Dans, plus the flickering and flickering, male and female Yu Qiukong, these people are all people who "disguise themselves as women, and it is difficult to distinguish between male and female", which has long made Ishikawa dizzy.

These days, tracking all the way, finally found strong evidence on the cliff, but there was no obvious breakthrough in the case, and Yu Qiukong slipped out from under his nose.

Although I got some information about him from Lao Dao, it is very likely that it is all false information, and it is not necessarily possible to find out his whereabouts.

Therefore, I once patted my chest and promised that I would find Qin Huaiyu as soon as possible, but I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve it for a while.

Therefore, as the first arrest in the capital, Ishikawa encountered such a strange and helpless case for the first time, which was already very inexplicable, and the first two were big.

No, I heard Xiao Yan mention it again and again, again and again: Men pretend to be women, and women pretend to be men in the play.

It's like asking him to read a tongue twister: four is ten, ten is four, fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty...... I've already been dizzy with him.

Xiao Yan looked at Ishikawa's expression of anger and dizziness, and really thought that he was not dizzy enough, so he smiled evilly and said with a biting word: "Everything in this world is changeable, and it is a very normal thing!" Although the heavens and the earth are eternal, the sun and the moon change, and the four seasons rotate, and you have to squint your eyes to avoid it under the poisonous sun, and you have to raise your head to admire it under the bright moon, and you have to grope your way forward in the darkness......"

"Stop, stop, if you ramble on and put on a lot of proverbs, I'm going to faint......" Ishikawa rolled his eyes and stopped Xiao Yan's tirade.

"Hehe, then you can't really faint, if you fall ill, who will you call to catch that Yu Qiukong when the time comes?" Xiao Yan's words turned around, and finally got to the point.

"Arrest people, where to arrest them?" As soon as this kind of thing was mentioned, Ishikawa was no longer dizzy, and his spirit immediately came up.

"Even when I go to the theater in two days, Yu Qiukong may go too?" Xiao Yan sat up straight and said for a long time.

"Which one is this singing?" Ishikawa smiled bitterly, "How do you know he's going to go to the play?" ”

"Guess." Xiao Yan spread his hands, his eyes were casual and casual.

"Guess? Then I also guess that tomorrow, I will be able to catch that Yu Qiukong, do you believe it? "Ishikawa is getting better and better at scaring people.

"Guess, did you win a prize?" Xiao Yan was not angry, but asked Ishikawa with a hippie smile.

Ishikawa's face darkened, his eyelids drooped, and he said with a straight face: "Don't make trouble, be serious, let's talk about it, how did you guess that Yu Qiukong would listen to the play "Double Butterflies"?" ”

"Because ah......"

Xiao Yan raised his chin and motioned to the book that Mu Qingzheng was looking at: "This book was found at the bedside of Yu Qiukong, it seems that this book has been read by him countless times, and it is very worn, but he did not throw it away." And in the meditation room where he lives, everything is very neat, except for this broken book, there is nothing damaged, what does this mean? ”

"This shows that he will have insomnia at night, and when he reads a book, he thinks of butterflies flying and flying, and he falls asleep." Ishikawa also began to ramble nonsense.

"Insomnia is a ghost, which shows that he likes this book very much and is very interested in the stories and people in it. That's why I flipped over and over, looked at and looked, and kept it at the head of the bed at hand, and I was reluctant to throw it away even if it was broken. Think about it, if he knew that this good show would be staged in the city recently, would he really want to hear it? Xiao Yan knocked Ishikawa's head.

"I think he'd love to go!" Ishikawa nodded like pounding garlic, and asked curiously: "Then is the story written in this book really so legendary and beautiful?" You tell me, I can also figure out Yu Qiukong's thoughts, and then guess what kind of person he is, to know himself and his opponent, and win all battles. ”

Xiao Yan went around and went around three or six turns, and finally succeeded in arousing Ishikawa's curiosity......
