Chapter 60: Yellow Village at Sunset

At the mouth of Hongchang Hutong, Jin Erzi and Huang Tianshi were already waiting for Li Guolou in the tea shop, and after a few words from both sides, Li Guolou went home first to get his bags. Li Guolou's flower head, his subordinates already knew everything, Jin Erzi saw Chen Xiangfang and hurriedly shouted: "Sister-in-law! โ€

Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Second son Jin, don't scream, call Miss Chen." โ€

Chen Xiangfang said coquettishly: "Second son Jin, it's okay, any name is fine." โ€

Li Guolou shook his head and ran away, everyone here is familiar, make this kind of joke, don't mix here in the future.

Li Guolou returned to the courtyard, not daring to close the door, for fear of being misunderstood by others that he and Chen Xiangfang were in the room. He has leather suitcases and rattan boxes, and he has been used to being independent since he was a child, and he is very familiar with packing his bags.

Chen Xiangfang looked at Li Guolou going out for two days to bring such a bunch of things, and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaolou, you are too picky, old man, you can lie down and sleep wherever you go." โ€

Li Guolou retorted: "I don't ask for anything, Xiaofang will buy you a full set in the future." โ€

Chen Xiangfang shook her head and said: "Xiaolou, the more I look at you, the more you look like a little husband, no wonder I don't have a girlfriend yet." โ€

Li Guolou said while sorting out his bags: "Xiaofang, the sea of people who say this is gone, I have long been used to it." I still have a lot of nicknames, and I can lean on this. โ€

The more Chen Xiangfang looked at Li Guolou, the more she felt that he was cute and playful, never angry, and could get along with the people around him, and her heart was full of love, and she folded a few clothes neatly.

Li Guolou took Western ink and a quill pen, Chen Xiangfang looked awkward, and asked, "Xiaolou, why don't you use a brush." โ€

Li Guolou said: "I want to take notes at night, and I can write quickly with a quill pen, and it is suitable for carrying around." โ€

Chen Xiangfang sighed: "Today, I will understand your mother-in-law and mother-in-law, Xiaolou, what are you thinking in your mind?" It's different from everyone else. โ€

Li Guolou looked at Chen Xiangfang and said, "So I am suitable for fast fishing, and I analyze the problem most thoroughly." โ€

After the two boxes were sorted out, Li Guolou held them in his hand and said, "Xiaofang, I'm leaving." โ€

Chen Xiangfang put the black scarf on for Li Guolou, and the breath of the two could smell each other, staring at each other silently, with a thousand knots in their hearts.

Chen Xiangfang said coquettishly: "It's windy outside the city, don't catch a cold, come to me first when you come back." This kind of headless case, only a fool like you is willing to investigate. โ€

Li Guolou's heart was warm, and he nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I just went to see the scene of the crime, this kind of case can't be solved, either he was abducted or died." But when I saw that bloody handprint, I couldn't help but want to do justice, maybe I could find the living yellow-haired girl. Tell Lingling and I'll bring her the gift box. โ€

Chen Xiangfang took a box from Li Guolou's hand, and the two of them each carried a box and walked out of the courtyard, making everyone look sideways. It's really like a family going out together. Let Qian Shuiping, who greeted him in the yard, make up his mind that he will shoot Chen Xiangfang's sycophants in the future.

The cold north wind could not extinguish the heat in Li Guolou's heart, and he waved goodbye to Chen Xiangfang, hoping that the next business trip would have such a beautiful separation scene.

The roads of the capital division are all straight, smooth and solid, the carriage goes west, out of the city gate, the fields are barren and desolate, and in the early winter season, pedestrians are sparse. When people on the road saw the carriage passing by, there were always people waving for a free ride. The last woman with a child in her arms gave her an advantage.

While chatting with Huang Tian's family, Li Guolou learned some things about Huang Village, the missing girl's family, Huang Tian's family is already the second one. A year ago, there was a little girl who disappeared, as for why the case was not solved quickly, Huang Tian's family recognized that it was Huang Kaohao, the village leader of Huang Village, because after the case, Huang Kaohao wanted to buy her with fifty taels of silver.

Li Guolou was thinking in his heart, either Muramasa Huang was a good person in the exam, and wanted to help the helpless widow Huang Tian, but he did the wrong thing at the wrong time, which made Huang Tian misunderstand. Either Huang Kao really sold the little girl Huang Yinyin to the traffickers, and he was ashamed to return the silver he got to Huang Tian's family, but this possibility is too small. There is also a reasonable explanation, Muramasa Huang Kao took a fancy to the widow Huang Tian and wanted to help Huang Tian when she was in danger.

Li Guolou glanced at Huang Tian's family a few times, dressed as a countryman, less than forty years old, with a dark complexion, and fine tail lines at the corners of his eyes, but there was still a little bit of the appearance of a village girl, but as for it? A large village of nearly 1,000 people will take a fancy to this kind of village girl.

Li Guolou didn't think that others thought so about him, as for a little widow with an oil bottle.

The woman with the child in her arms was surnamed Liu, who lived in Gu Village on the edge of Huang Village, and Liu knew Huang Tian because the case had been widely spread here. Jin Erzi has experience in catching fast and began to chat with Liu.

After chatting some gossip, Jin Erzi asked, "Liu, is there anyone missing in your village?" โ€

A five-year-old boy was already held in Li Guolou's hands, and the two played a children's intellectual game of tangram together. This is Li Guolou's favorite toy since he was a child, and he always carries it with him when he goes out, and this time it can come in handy.

Liu glanced at Huang Tian and sighed, "It's okay for us there, nothing like this has happened." โ€

Several of them began to play with the children, and they were not very interested in talking about the case.

After a while, Liu suddenly said: "Jin Zhutou, I remember, two years ago, there was a rape and murder case in our village, and a little girl was raped and killed, and the case has not been solved yet." โ€

Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Are there any suspects?" โ€

Liu Shi said angrily: "It must have been done by the second leper in our village, but he refused to admit it, and he refused to admit that he was beaten forty boards, anyway, he was locked up for half a year and then released back, and now the people in our village are putting the second leper away." โ€

"Oh!" Li Guolou said: "I will go to your village to have a look when I have time." โ€

Liu looked Li Guolou's strange dress up and down, and said suspiciously: "Who are you?" โ€

Jin Erzi hurriedly said: "Liu, this is my chief, I have been out of the country, so my dress is a little different from ours." โ€

Liu looked at Li Guolou carefully, and his face was also attached to Li Guolou's face, which attracted the laughter of Jin Erzi.

Liu sighed: "Oh! It's really different from us, a bit like an Oriental devil. โ€

Li Guolou said angrily: "Liu, what kind of vision do you have, am I so short?" โ€

This time, Huang Tian also laughed out loud, sadness will always pass, and there will be laughter when he is alive.

Li Guolou's tangram was given to the child, and on the fork in the road, Liu held the child and said goodbye to Li Guolou, it was getting closer and closer to Huangcun, it was close to dusk, and there were some farmhouses scattered around, and there were children who came to see the people in the carriage. Before they reached the village, there was already a group of children gathered around the carriage.

Li Guolou asked, "Huang Tian, why are they following us?" โ€

Huang Tian smiled, stroked the hair on his forehead, and said, "Li Zhutou, they want to ask you for candy, and you look like rich people, so they want to get a reward." โ€

Li Guolou understood that he came to the village to spend money to buy roads, that is, candy money for a few pennies.

As soon as Li Guolou raised his head, Jin Erzi understood, took out a handful of copper coins and sprinkled them on the side of the road.

"Ohยทยทยทยทยทยท" More than a dozen children jumped over at once to pick up the copper coins that had fallen on the ground.

The horse-drawn carriage marched into the east village entrance of Huang Village, and farmhouses were distributed on both sides of the road, and the bottom of the river was clearly seen flowing through the roadside. Li Guolou jumped out of the carriage and looked at the crowd around him, here is harmony and no quarrel with the world, the cooking smoke is filling, and the aroma of food makes Li Guolou feel hungry.

Huang Tian led Li Guolou and Jin Erzi to Baozheng Huang Bing's house first, and Baozheng was the official who maintained law and order in the village. Li Guolou and Jin Erzi's accommodation at night should be arranged by Baozheng Huang Bing. The two of them are not suitable for living in the Huang Tian family's house, and the Huang Tian family's house is also a little dilapidated, which is not suitable for officials to live in.

There is a village office in the village, which is the place where the village works, and there is also a place for the chiefs who come to the village to inspect and do business. But this is not the best place to stay in Huang Village, the best house is the mansion of Huang Kao in the village.

Huang Bing asked Li Guolou if there was a taboo? Where exactly are you going to live?

Li Guolou glanced at the Huang Tian clan beside him and said, "Huang Baozheng, we are as good as the host, and you can arrange all the food and accommodation at night." Now let's take a look at Huang Tian's home and the scene of the crime, and come back for dinner later. You know? โ€

Huang Bing didn't dare to offend the commander from Jingshi, nodded again and again, and asked his subordinates to arrange accommodation and dinner, and he followed by Li Guolou's side and went to Huang Tian's house.

As the sun sets, there are loud voices calling their children home for dinner, but many children are still jumping around outside, playing on the road despite the cold wind. There were more than a dozen children who were still following and chasing Li Guolou, pointing and pointing sneaky, as if they were twisting the army and wanted to wipe them out in the sea of people.

The more difficult the place, the more people can be trained, the people in the village are not afraid of the cold, most of the villagers do not wear cotton jackets, and the faces of the villagers who cut the ravines are different from those in the city.

Rich people are different, Baozheng Huang Bing is wearing a dogskin hat and shrinking his neck, with his two hands stretched out in his sleeves, looking afraid of the cold.

Li Guolou looked awkward, and said casually: "Huang Baozheng, like you, you look like a wreck, how can you defend your hometown if there are robbers, stretch out your two hands for me, keep your waist straight, and walk well, I am not a man, I don't need a slave." โ€

Jin Erzi kicked Li Guolou and made Li Guolou understand don't talk nonsense, the people here are foolish people, in case the complaint says that Li Guolou has the intention of rebellion, it is not a big joke.

Huang Bing is obedient and no longer grovels, it seems that this person's character can bend and stretch, and it is still possible to restore the true character of the villagers.

The village is still quite large, and Li Guolou walked for more than 20 minutes before coming to Huang Tian's house. The courtyards of the villagers are very large, with chickens and ducks in them, and a grass dog, which jumped and jumped excitedly when they saw the owner come back. This is to the west of Huangcun, almost the end of the village. Further west, the farmhouses become loosely distributed and are no longer located in the village.

Li Guolou and Jin Erzi went around Huang Tian's house, and Jin Erzi seriously began to draw the layout of Huang Tian's family at the dinner table. This is a compulsory course for catching fast, because many times the chief does not come to the scene of the crime, but only sees the map drawn by the fast arrester who arrived at the scene to know what the scene of the crime looks like.

Li Guolou looked down at Jin Erzi's painting for a while, there was a look, each straight line seemed to be drawn with a ruler, this ability was greater than him, Li Guolou added some good feelings to Jin Erzi in his heart.

Li Guolou turned his head and asked, "Huang Baozheng, do you have the household registration information and detailed map of Huang Village there?" โ€

Huang Bing nodded and said, "Yes!" Li Zhutou, don't worry, there is no mistake, you have to ask the village for the household registration, I don't have it. Hey, hey, hey! โ€

Huang Bing couldn't stop laughing after a few laughs, because no one was holding him up. He looked at Li Guolou and felt that Li Guolou was different from other officials, and at first glance he looked rich and powerful. How could such a person come here to check the scene of the crime? Huang Bing didn't understand, there was a case with no end and no end, and there was nothing to investigate.
