Liu Ya and Xiao Zhu spoke at the same time, the two glanced at each other, and saw that each other also looked solemn, obviously not believing that Liu Cripple had such a coincidental accident.

The cell boss briefly told Liu Cripple's death, but he didn't mean to hide it.

"I want to see the corpse of the lame man."

Liu Ya still gave the money to the cell boss, and made a request that surprised both men.

"You girl is very bold." The cell boss was happy to have the money, and he would not refuse, but kindly reminded: "Miss Liu, this dead man is not good-looking, don't blame me for not reminding you for having nightmares when you look back." ”

"Thanks, I just wanted to see it." Liu Ya frowned.

Xiao Zhu wanted to persuade Liu Ya, but it can be seen that she has made up her mind, so she can only accompany Liu Ya to Yizhuang.

In a large village on the outskirts of the county, Chen Gelao, who returned from Zhishi, has been in a state of closing the door to thank customers.

But no one knew that Zhuangzi had a secret passage to connect with the outside world, and there was a guest in Chen Ge Lao's study at the moment, an old man and a young man playing against each other.

This game has been played for several days, but it has never been decided.

"The old man is really old, and the old man has already lost this game of chess."

Chen Ge Lao looked at the chess game and sighed, but he didn't see the anger of losing.

"The elder has too many concerns, so that the younger generation will have the opportunity to make a peace, and the younger generation will accept it."

Qin Yin opened his mouth gently, poured a cup of hot tea for Chen Ge Lao, and slowly packed up the chess pieces.

"What is the origin of that girl? The first time my granddaughter wrote back to her parents' house for help, it was for her, and even you were so attentive to her? ”

When Chen Ge asked about this for the first time, a pair of sophisticated eyes stared at Qin Yin, not allowing him to be half false.

Qin Yin still had a gentle demeanor, so that people couldn't see his true thoughts.

"A little girl who is quite talented in medicine and can make money. If there is a chance, you might as well let her diagnose and treat the old man, maybe she can get rid of the old disease. ”

Qin Yin didn't mention the cold-faced man, but he didn't deny that he ordered someone to find witnesses for Liu Ya.

If it weren't for the cold-faced man's advice before leaving, Qin Yin wasn't sure if he would have made a move, probably until Liu Ya was really cornered, he might not think about whether to rescue him, right?

"Is there a problem determining her identity?" Chen Ge Lao had been fighting in officialdom for most of his life, and he could see that Qin Yin had something to hide.

"It's still under investigation."

After Qin Yin replied to this sentence, he got up, but asked, "Has the baby girl ever been lost in the old house of the pavilion, is there any clue?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chen Ge Lao's hand holding the teacup shook slightly.

"Juniors say goodbye." Qin Yin avoided answering and had already left quickly before Chen Ge Lao left behind.

"Qin Yin!"

Chen Ge slapped the table in an old-fashioned manner, but he didn't dare to scold loudly for fear of eyeliner outside, so he could only watch Qin Yin leave from the secret passage.

After a long time, Chen Ge showed a helpless and kind smile like an elder, and muttered to himself: "The old man also wants to see what is different about this girl, which can make you so concerned." ”

After Liu Ya and Xiao Zhu came to Yizhuang, they only spent a piece of silver to see the body of Liu Cripple in the dilapidated wooden house.

He was still wearing the jailer's clothes, and the yellow, shabby sheet was stained red by the bleeding from the wounds.

And Liu Cripple's eyes bulged, and even though his pupils had dilated, he could still see the look of horror in his expression.

"I'll come."

Seeing that Liu Ya was about to examine the body, although Xiao Zhu was afraid of the deceased, he still took the initiative to help her move the back of Liu Cripple's head.

"No offense, I think you also hope that the murderer will pay the price, right?"

Liu Ya, who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, believes in the reincarnation of cause and effect after experiencing the things that have crossed over.

What's more, respect for the dead is the minimum morality, even if the person is not a good person, and the person is in debt when he dies.

After a brief inspection, Liu Ya left with Xiao Zhu.

"Cripple Liu was killed?" After walking far away from Yizhuang and saying goodbye to the cell leader, Xiao Zhu asked out loud.

"The injuries to the back of his head overlapped, and it was impossible to repeat the injuries in the same position multiple times in a row. And he had strangulation marks on his neck, which should have been strangled by his arms and stoned to death. Liu Ya said her own inference.

It's just that the government has determined that Liu Cripple died accidentally, and it must have been examined, and there is no such thing as a cat.

But Liu Ya and Liu Cripple never knew each other, and they had no position to avenge him.

And Liu Ya doesn't want to do so much, she wants to find out who is behind the scenes and take revenge in a way other than the law.

"You...... Aren't you afraid? ”

Xiao Zhu was silent for a while before asking.

"Afraid of what? Corpse? Or is it the black hand behind that? ”

Liu Ya stopped, looked up at Xiao Zhu, who was a head taller than herself, and said lightly: "If you are afraid, you can let the people behind you stop and no longer hurt innocent people, then I want to be afraid too." ”

"I have a family to protect, and I also have a good life, but I only suffered a blow and shrunk, and in this life I can only live by guarding that one acre and three points of land, and I was bullied and chose to swallow my anger. I've had enough of those days, and I want to live a better life. ”

"I didn't mean that, I ......" will protect you.

Xiao Zhu didn't dare to speak, but saw Liu Ya smile lightly: "Brother Xiao Zhu, I know that you are a good person, and I am very grateful to you for taking care of our family during this time." But I have to make it clear to you that I will probably have more trouble in the future than I do now, and maybe I will be a problem myself......"

"I'm not afraid!" Xiao Zhu spoke out hurriedly.

Liu Ya's smile froze, looking at the eager expression of the young man in front of him, and the undisguised affection, Liu Ya didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Even if she has never touched her feelings, Liu Ya also understands that this kind of thing is not exchanged for gratitude, let alone mud and water.

"Thank you, I always think that if there is an elder brother in the family, he will protect our sisters like Brother Xiao Zhu, and the burden on my shoulders can be lighter."

Liu Ya tactfully expressed her friendship with Xiao Zhu as just a brother and sister, and after speaking, she turned around and walked forward, unwilling to leave Xiao Zhu with impossible expectations.

Xiao Zhu may be suitable for the former Liu Ya, but she has already changed the core, and before she is sure that she will stay here forever and find a suitable way to survive, Liu Ya does not want to touch her feelings.

Xiao Zhu followed Liu Ya silently, how could a relationship that had not yet been able to speak be easily stifled by words?

After the figures of the two disappeared, Qin Yin's figure appeared at the mouth of the alley around the corner, and said with a mysterious smile: "Maybe I should send a letter to Xinjiang, maybe he will get tired of those battles in the capital, and come out to relax and share some of it for me." ”

But what Liu Ya and the others didn't know was that after they left, when the watchman who guarded Yizhuang went to sort out Liu Cripple's remains, he reached out again to cover his eyes, but he succeeded.

"It's really strange, brother, you are finally willing to close your eyes, you have to do your duty to be reincarnated in the next life, don't offend people."

has been in this business for many years, and the old man's ability to perform autopsies is higher than that of a servant, but he never meddles with things, otherwise he would not have lived to this age.

But even the old man didn't know that there was a person not far from Yizhuang who was watching them, or rather monitoring this side, and that person was always holding a dagger in his hand, and his body exuded anger.
