Night had already fallen, and the street vendors were doing business with lanterns.

Passing through the bustling streets, you will come to a sparsely populated alley.

It is an alley that leads to the north and south. The middle of the alley is divided into two halves by Anxiang Road, the southern half is called Wanshi Lane, and the north half is called Ruyi Lane.

Song Xuewen's home is at No. 27, Wanshi Lane, Anxiang Road.

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong walked into the alley, and they hadn't walked out of the thirty zhang yet. I heard an old man asking about the situation.

The old man asked, "Have you seen my son Guo Yunliang?" ”

When the old man walked in front of Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong, he grabbed Song Ruilong's clothes like crazy, and asked, "Have you seen my son Guo Yunliang?" ”

Before Song Ruilong could answer, the old man with ragged clothes and dull eyes was about to turn around and leave again.

Song Ruilong grabbed the old man's hand and said, "Uncle, can you tell me what your son's name is?" What does it look like? ”

Su Xianrong thought that this was just an ordinary matter, and there was no need to delay a big event for such a thing, so she pulled Song Ruilong's clothes and pulled a few times to give him a wake-up, but Song Ruilong ignored Su Xianrong.

The old man's eyes were a little excited with tears, he looked at Song Ruilong and said, "Son, the old man's name is Guo Jin'an." Home in this alley No. 26 room, the old man's son named Guo Yunliang, early this morning, the sky has not yet dawned, the rooster has not yet crowed, my son said to carry a bamboo basket to Cuihua Mountain to pick a little wild vegetables back, buy some meat dumplings to eat in the evening. But what time has it been, the old man's son hasn't come back yet, can I not be in a hurry, old man? ”

Song Ruilong thought for a while and asked, "Uncle, don't worry. Your son may have gotten lost, or he may have returned to the county seat a long time ago, and he went to some friend's house for a drink, and maybe he will come back later. ”

Guo Jinan shook his head and said, "No, my son is honest and does not usually drink, and he has no friends." I don't drink if I have friends. Besides, this Cuihua Mountain is not big, and it is impossible for him to get lost. I'll look for it again, thank you, Childe's kindness. ”

Song Ruilong said helplessly: "Then the old man will look for it in the county seat." ”

Guo Jinan ignored Song Ruilong, he walked crookedly forward in that alley as if he had lost his soul.

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong continued to walk forward, and after walking for more than ten zhang, Su Xianrong asked Song Ruilong with some anger, "Brother Song, the most important thing we have now, have you forgotten?" If that old man asks you to help find his son, will you agree? ”

Song Ruilong's answer was very simple, and said, "Why can't I help find a son for him?" ”

Su Xianrong asked puzzledly: "I understand what Brother Song meant." Then Guo Jinan is your people, Guo Yunliang is also your people, they have an accident, you can't bear to make them sad, so you want to help them solve the problem. That's a good thing, there's nothing wrong with that, but we're looking into homicides now. If the murder case is delayed for a moment, we will lose a point in solving the case, do you understand this truth? ”

Song Ruilong looked at Su Xianrong's angry appearance and felt that it was really cute, that kind of look made Song Ruilong can't bear to make her angry anymore, so Song Ruilong looked at Su Xianrong's face with a smile and said, "Rongrong, I thought you could understand my intention to help Guo Jinan find his son." ”

Su Xianrong was also confused by Song Ruilong for a while, and said, "Is your intention to help him find his son related to solving the murder case?" ”

Song Ruilong said very seriously: "What do you think, how is this Guo Jinan's figure?" ”

Su Xianrong recalled for a moment and said: "Guo Jinan should be in his fifties, his figure is very tall, and his body should be very strong, but he has just lost his son, so it seems that he is a little powerless." ”

Song Ruilong said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's good that you understand this truth." You know that Guo Jinan is very tall, then I think his son Guo Yunliang's figure should also be very tall and mighty, if he asks his son to carry five pieces of cloth, I think he will be able to carry it. ”

Su Xianrong's eyes widened in surprise and said, "You don't suspect that his son is the murderer of Ding Jiayi, right?" ”

Song Ruilong said firmly: "How is it impossible? Ding Jiayi and Zhao Yanping were both killed last night. Counting the time, the time of Ding Jiayi's death was an hour earlier than Zhao Yanping's death. There is such a big case in Ping'an County, if the murderer can still sit at home, then the county really admires his courage. ”

Song Ruilong woke up Su Xianrong with a word: "Brother Song means that this Guo Yunliang is likely to be a murderer, after he killed someone, he was afraid of affecting his parents, so he concealed the fact that he ran away, and only said that he went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, right?" ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "You also heard it just now." Guo Jinan said that his son got up in the morning before dawn and went up to pick wild vegetables before the rooster crowed. This Cuihua Mountain is only an hour's journey from here, even if he stays on the mountain for an hour, the time to come back is before noon, since he can come back before noon, then why does he say that he will cut meat and make dumplings at night? It's too late to make dumplings at noon, and it's not easy to digest when you eat dumplings this night. Therefore, I concluded that there must be something wrong with this Guo Yunliang. It's just that his father doesn't know the truth of the matter yet, so why don't we take this opportunity to live in Guo Jinan's house and find evidence of his son's murder on the pretext of finding his son? ”

Su Xianrong said excitedly: "It turns out that Brother Song thought of this matter, I almost misunderstood what you meant." ”

Song Ruilong smiled and said, "You didn't misunderstand me. I really want to help Guo Jinan find his son. ”

Su Xianrong pursed his mouth angrily, pretended to be angry, and said, "Hmph, you can help him find his son!" ”

Wanshi Lane, in front of room 27, there is a tall plane tree.

Under the dark cover of night, if a person hides in the plane tree, it will be difficult for others to see.

There seemed to be two people hiding from the plane tree.

After Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong walked under the plane tree, they saw that the gate of Song Xuewen's house was closed, he looked up at the tree, Song Ruilong smiled and said: "These two people, they are really good at finding a place, and they actually went up to the tree to monitor the situation in the yard." ”

Su Xianrong said to Song Ruilong: "I'll go up and see the situation." ”

Su Xianrong hadn't gone up yet, and the people on the tree had already come down.

The person who came down was Wei Bixi, who took Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong to an empty house where no one lived, and then stopped.

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong were very anxious, and they wanted to know the situation of Song Xuewen's family.

Su Xianrong was the first to ask, "Sister Bi Xiao, are there any new discoveries?" ”
