Chapter 540: Old Man

Tang Ye looked at the two of them and said with a heavy face: "We are from the City Lord's Mansion, and we have come to investigate the murder of your daughter on the order of the lord. This is our identification......"

As he spoke, Tang Ye took out a silver spirit from his arms, which was equivalent to a thousand yuan.

Seeing this silver Lingjue, the husband and wife glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces instantly became awe-inspiring, and they didn't dare to pick up the coin at all.

"Take it, this is General Tang Ye's condolence money for you, but please make it clear, this is not the benefit that your dead daughter brought to you. If any bad atmosphere spreads from you, General Tang Ye will not only confiscate your property, but also put you in prison! Do you understand! ”

Tang Ye admonished with a serious expression.

Hearing this, the two parents, who were originally happy that they could get so much money because their daughter died, immediately lowered their heads in shame and said yes again and again.

"Alright." Tang Ye didn't see it either, he directly dragged a small bench from the side and sat down, and said, "Next, tell me when your daughter found out when she disappeared and some of the people she has come into contact with recently." ”

…………

After visiting all the victims' families, Tang Ye walked on the street with a slightly solemn expression.

Yang Ke, who was beside him, said directly with emotion: "I practiced in the mountains when I was a child, and my life was quite good after I met my lord. Now I know that the life I lived at my worst was probably a life that these people may not be able to live in their lifetime......"

Tang Ye was silent, and didn't respond to anything because of his boring mood. However, he also knew that although he had seen life in various slums before, it was the first time that he had known and penetrated so deeply as he did today.

He looked at the slightly gloomy sky, and always felt that such weather was setting off his mood.

Without thinking too much about it, he still had something to do, and that was that in the conversation with the families of the victims, he noticed that there was one person who was among the people they were talking to.

That's an old man who lives on Ordinary Street.

It was a man who had moved in after the battle. When Tang Ye and the others saw this person, they couldn't help frowning slightly.

Because this is an old man who has no hands, and the old man is holding a stick-shaped instrument in his mouth, stirring and turning over the stale rice in the dustpan, as if to remove the smell of the rice.

Tang Ye looked at the many small black insects that crawled out of the rice, and his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

It's not that the rice that gave birth to the rice elephant can't be eaten, but the old man doesn't have such hands, which makes it difficult for Tang Ye to imagine how the other party washes the rice and how to remove the black insects in the rice.

Most likely, it was the rice and bugs put together in the pot......

Thinking of this possibility, Tang Ye couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The two of them stood beside the old man for a long time, and the other party did not react, and seemed to be doing things very seriously, until Yang Ke gently patted each other's shoulders, and the old man suddenly raised his head and got up, and Tang Ye was surprised to see that the old man's right eye was constricted like a chrysanthemum, obviously he had also been injured, and his eyes were no longer there at this moment.

Tang Ye looked at this scene, and felt more and more in his heart that the old man in front of him could not be the so-called murderer.

"You ...... Is there something wrong with me both of you? A hoarse voice spoke, and the old man looked at the two people in front of him with some confusion.
