Wei Yujiang waited for Meng Da to finish speaking, and immediately said: "Master Hou, if the judgment of the humble position is not wrong, the sudden disappearance of the person named Da Zhuang is likely to be caused by the same reason as the previous disappearances. It's just that when the previous cases happened, there were no witnesses at the scene, except when Da Su disappeared, this woman happened to see it. ”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said: "It should be like this, now it seems that this woman is not talking nonsense, what she said is likely to be true." ”

Meng Da couldn't help but say, "Master Hou, could it be that those people are really being ..... Was it captured by a ghost? ”

"Nonsense." Qi Ning frowned and said: "What kind of ghosts and ghosts, how can there be ghosts and monsters in the world." ”

Meng Da suddenly didn't dare to speak, Qi Ning groaned slightly, and then said: "Wei Sixian, that woman found out that Da Zhuang was captured by the so-called powerful ghost that night, if it wasn't nonsense, then why do you think she said that?" ”

"Dress up!" Wei Yujiang blurted out: "Master Hou, maybe she wasn't mistaken, when the night incident happened, she did see a powerful ghost, but the ghost she saw was not a real ghost, but someone pretended to be a ghost and pretended to be a ghost to arrest people." ”

Qi Ning nodded and said: "What you think is the same as what I think, it should be that someone pretends to be a ghost in order to hide his true face and worry about being seen and leave clues." ”

Meng Daqi said: "Master Hou, what if..... If that's the case, then why did those people pretend to be ghosts and take all those men away? Are those people alive or dead today? ”

"If Ben Hou knew, wouldn't this case be solved?" Qi Ning glanced at him: "The disappearance case started the year before and lasted until this year, which is really strange. ”

Wei Yujiang pondered for a moment before he said: "Meng Zhixian, to start this case, we must first investigate the background of these missing men, find out what they have in common, and find out whether they had contact with other people before the crime." After a pause, he said solemnly: "In short, try to find out what is the same in these people as much as possible." ”

Meng Da immediately said: "The lower officials should personally investigate this case according to the instructions of the judge." ”

"In that case, it depends on your ability in Mengzhi County." Qi Ning said: "If you can really find out the clues, or even find out the truth of the matter, Ben Hou should show credit to the court for you, otherwise it will .....!" He sneered and didn't say much.

Meng Da said in panic: "The lower official understands, the lower official understands!" ”

When the crazy woman took a bath and ate again, Meng Da immediately asked people to take the crazy woman away, because of Qi Ning, Meng Da also took great care of the crazy woman, the crazy woman took Mrs. Tian's pill, and her mood was obviously eased a lot, but Wu Zi was a little dazed, but he stopped yelling.

When Meng Da led the woman away, Wei Yujiang said: "Master Hou, this case has lasted for several years, and it is not simple, and I am now wondering if such a disappearance case only happened in Dongyang County." ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "Does Wei Sishen think that this case is not limited to Dongyang? ”

Wei Yujiang said: "First of all, it is not completely certain whether there are only these disappearances in Dongyang County, and there may be some people who are missing, but the family has not reported the case to the government. Secondly, those who disappeared have one thing in common, that is, they are all strong young men, and none of the women are missing, which is naturally very strange. ”

"It makes sense."

"If a woman is missing, you can guess that a group of vicious people snatched the daughter of a good family and used it to force Liang to become a prostitute." Wei Yujiang thought carefully: "But why did you arrest the man?" The difference between men and women is that they are strong and can do labor. ”

Qi Ning bowed his head slightly, and said, "The people who were captured are all young and strong men, and I think they should also be used for labor." ”

"Master Hou, as a laborer, the male is either caught and the grass is gone. When the world was in turmoil, many bandits forced the strong men to fall into the grass and rob their homes. Wei Yujiang said slowly: "In addition, it may be that those men are allowed to engage in coolies, but it is impossible to guess what exactly to do." ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "It's not easy for you to think of this. I don't think that Meng Zhixian is a stupid person, if he really investigates this case with his heart, he should be able to think of this, and then follow this clue to explore, it may not be fruitless. His expression immediately became solemn, and he said, "If it weren't for the East China Sea emergency, you Wei Sixuan would stay here for a few days, maybe the matter would have come to a conclusion." ”

"I don't dare." Wei Yujiang was immediately humble.

The next morning, he was about to set off, although it was interrupted because of the case of the madwoman, Qi Ning still ordered everyone to rest early, returned upstairs, passed under the door of Mrs. Tian, and heard the door of Mrs. Tian's room creak, opened a gap, and heard Mrs.'s voice say: "Master Hou..... Is Master Hou going to rest? ”

Along the way, Mrs. Tian lived next door to Qi Ning, but the two didn't say anything, mainly because Qi Ning deliberately avoided it and didn't give Mrs. a chance to speak.

He passed in front of Madame's door, Madame was able to open the door immediately, Qi Ning knew that Madame must have been waiting for him to go upstairs, stopped, took a look, nodded slightly, and said, "Madame hasn't rested yet?" You have to leave early tomorrow morning, you need to get up early, you have worked hard along the way, so rest early. ”

Madam hesitated, poked her head out, looked left and right at the corridor, and then blushed and plucked up the courage to say, "Master Hou..... Can Master Hou take some time, I'll ..... I have a few words I want to say to you. ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning deliberately frowned and said, "Is it to your room?" ”

Madame hurriedly opened the door a little, which obviously meant to let Qi Ning in, but Qi Ning deliberately stood in front of the door, shook his head and said: "Madam, it's already the dead of night, if we are in the same room at this time, lonely men and widows, will people talk nonsense?" I know Madame takes this very seriously, so I don't want to embarrass you. ”

Mrs. Tian was a little annoyed in her heart, but she still said patiently: "I ..... now Now it's women dressed as men, and they're ..... They can't see it, Hou Ye doesn't need to ..... Do not worry. ”

She traveled this time, after all, she was with Qi Ning, and the rest of the trip was even in the negotiations in the East China Sea, but I was afraid that there were still many places to rely on Qi Ning, and the two of them did not speak along the way, if they were about to leave, this made Mrs. Tian extremely depressed, and even more uneasy, knowing that if it continued like this, it would not be a matter in the end, and the estrangement between the two would always have to be untied.

Qi Ning groaned slightly, Mrs. Tian's beautiful eyes were like water, looking at Qi Ning with anticipation, Qi Ning sighed, and then went to Mrs. Tian's room.

Madame was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly got out of the way, and when Qi Ning entered the house, she immediately closed the door, although she said that she was not worried, but she was a smart woman, and she knew in her heart that this road was going down, and the team was afraid that someone had guessed that she was a woman.

There was a lamp lit in the room, it was not bright, Qi Ning walked to the table and sat down, the lady had already twisted her waist and quickly passed, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Qi Ning, and then stood next to Qi Ning, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

Qi Ning could feel that Mrs. must be in an extremely nervous mood now, and she was amused in her heart, so she slowly picked up the teacup, blew a sip of tea, and suddenly asked, "Is Mrs. Tea here adaptable?" ”

Madame was originally a woman who liked to think too much, and when she heard this, she thought that Qi Ning couldn't look down on the tea leaves in the inn, and she was a little embarrassed: "Master Hou, here..... There is only such tea here, I forgot to bring the tea leaves over ......! ”

"Don't think about it, I didn't mean that." Qi Ning took a sip before saying, "I mean you don't go out much, this trip has come a long way, and the humidity on this side of the East China Sea is obviously heavier than that in the capital, are you used to it?" ”

"That'..... That's nothing. The lady said, "I'll go back after finishing my business in a few days." ”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, but did not speak.

The atmosphere suddenly stiffened, and Madame bit her lip, and finally said, "Master Hou, you ..... Have you been mad at me? ”

"Angry?" Qi Ning remained silent and asked rhetorically, "Why does Madam think like this?" ”

Madame blushed and said, "I.... I know that Master Hou must be angry with me, right..... It's not good for me, Master Hou...... Master Hou, don't be angry anymore, okay? She pleaded softly, but Qi Ning couldn't help but look over, under the lights, Mrs. was like a peach blossom, although she was dressed in men's clothes, she couldn't hide her charming charm anyway.

The surroundings were quiet, the long night was quiet, and the faint fragrance wafting from Mrs. Unconsciously penetrated into Qi Ning's nasal cavity, Qi Ning groaned for a while, and then said softly: "Mrs. wants to hide her identity, why do you have to apply grease and powder?" ”

"Huh?" Madame raised her head and said innocently, "No..... No, I ..... I haven't ever applied rouge since I went out. Leaned closer, pointed to his cheek and said, "Master Hou doesn't believe that you see for yourself, you really didn't apply grease and powder." ”

The delicate skin that can be broken by blowing is close in front of him, Qi Ning secretly admires in his heart, thinking that this woman is really well maintained, from her skin, there is no trace of middle-aged state, the delicate skin is like a shelled egg, it seems that as long as the finger pokes lightly, it can be pierced.

Seeing Qi Ning looking at her cheeks, Madame suddenly realized something, her face flushed, and she hurriedly took a step back.

"I misunderstood, I smelled the fragrance when I came in, and I thought it was caused by Mrs. applying grease and powder." Qi Ning drank a cup of tea, still quiet, and spoke calmly.

Madame explained in a low voice, "Yes..... It is the fragrance that was left on the body before, and it ..... for a while I can't disperse for a while, I ..... I don't know what to do either. ”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and then asked, "Madam said that I was angry with you, where do you start?" Why am I mad at you? ”

Madame bit her lower lip before lowering her head and saying, "What if..... If Hou Ye wasn't angry, why ..... Why do you ignore me these days and deliberately don't talk to me? I know..... I know you're deliberately avoiding me, and if you're not angry, you'll ..... Not so. ”

Qi Ning sighed: "Madam, isn't this a bit excessive. I used to be near you and talk to you, but you kept on guard, like ..... Hey, it's like I'm going to take advantage of you. I understand your intentions, it's not good to get close these days, deliberately distance yourself, just hope that Mrs. can be satisfied, who knows ......! He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Who knows that Madam blames me for this matter, Madam, how do you want me to be satisfied?" ”
