From that day on, Miao Hong never saw Xiuxiu again.

The house in Aunt Chang's house, he did not quit the rent, he hoped that one day, Xiuxiu would be able to walk back from outside, and only when he saw the house where Xiuxiu lived and saw the sketches left by Xiuxiu, Miao Hong could be sure that Xiuxiu had really been here, she was a real person, not a phantom that she imagined.

After Miao Hong's words were finished, he picked up the cat and buried his face in the cat's hair.

Hua Jingyao sighed, so let's talk about it, this man and woman's thing is the most hypocritical and useless, delaying time and wasting money, and it will also consume a person's will, and even his life will be put into it.

For example, his own beautiful father in his previous life, such as his sister, such as the dead Chen Niangzi, such as the good young man in front of him.

"Miao Caizi, in fact, you already know who Xiuxiu's father is, so you brought this cat here to let Xiuxiu know that you are waiting for her, right?"

Without waiting for Miao Hong to answer, Hua Yukun on the side looked at Hua Jingyao in amazement and asked, "Xiuxiu's father, who is that?" ”

That's a murderer!

Hua Jingyao smiled slightly and said, "Dad, Miao Caizi has already said it just now, it's just that you didn't pay attention." ”

Hua Yukun carefully recalled what Miao Hong said, no, it should be a story, a story of Miao Hong's personal experience, and the people mentioned in the story...... Could it be that person? Impossible, how could it be, absolutely impossible!

"Dad, you guessed it right, Xiuxiu's father is that person, the legendary gentleman who never leaves his wife and never marries after his wife's death. Miao Caizi, didn't you hear that he was living in the moon shelter in Xiaoganshan? Why did you later bring this cat to Shanshui Alley? Hua Jingyao asked.

Miao Hong finally raised his head, his eyes moist, obviously just crying.

"After Xiuxiu left, I repainted the painting from memory, but I couldn't depict the appearance of Xiuxiu's father, until that day, I met Zhang Shanchang in the academy, and I almost recognized it at a glance, that was Xiuxiu's father! He was dressed in a scribe's robe, with a hairpin and a few strands of light hair under his palate.

In fact, many teachers in the academy are dressed like this, but even Miao Hong herself can't tell why, the moment he saw Zhang Shanchang, he decided that this was Xiuxiu's father!

"Before this, I had seen Zhang Shanchang many times, and I didn't hide it twice, I also had doubts, but I just thought about it for a while, and subconsciously denied it, until that day, when I saw him again, I knew that I could no longer deny myself, he was Xiuxiu's father." Miao Hong said.

Hua Jingyao looked at her father, but saw that Master Hua San opened his mouth slightly, and the surprise on his face had not faded.

"Dad, I remember you said that Zhang Shanchang has a daughter, how old is his daughter?" Hua Jingyao asked.

"Zhang Shanchang's daughter? Let me think about it......" Hua Yukun was in a complicated mood, his thoughts were chaotic, he didn't believe that the person he had always respected would be the murderer of his wife, he closed his eyes and thought silently in his heart, Yaoyao waited, Yaoyao waited, so he recited it silently a few times, and his mood finally calmed down, and he could think about it carefully.

"That year, I came back from the south, and your mother came to me and said that Mr. Ruoxi's wife had died for fourteen years, and he still refused to renew the strings, and I ......"

Hua Yukun looked at Miao Hong on the side and didn't say any more.

However, Hua Jingyao already understood. When her father came back from the south, he brought back Linlin, and the eldest princess of Zhaoyang found him, she scolded him, it turned out that there was still this one back then.

"Well, I remember you said that Zhang Shanchang's wife died when his daughter was three years old, so in this way, Zhang Shanchang's daughter should be nineteen or twenty years old, about the same age as Xiuxiu, right, Miao Caizi?" Hua Jingyao said.

Miao Hong nodded and said, "Xiuxiu is a rabbit, she drew a little rabbit and said it was her." ”

Twenty years old of the rabbit.

"That's right, so now, Miao Caizi, you can continue." Hua Jingyao said with a smile, she suddenly found that this Miao Hong was quite talented in solving cases.

"Okay, that's what happened later," Miao Hong continued, "After I recognized Zhang Shanchang as Xiuxiu's father, I started to pay attention to him. I followed him quietly and found that he did not return to the Hidden Moon Mountain House, but returned to the house in Shanshui Lane. Then, I found that the door was locked next to Zhang's house in Shanshui Lane for many years, I went to the tooth shop to inquire, pretending that I wanted to rent a house, and the people in the tooth shop said that the owner of the house was Zhang Shanchang, and said that there were people who wanted to rent it before, but Zhang Shanchang refused. But I found that the lock on the door was clean, and if it had been locked for many years, it should have been dusty, not clean. I suspected that the lock was often opened, but no one saw it when it was opened, so I quietly stuffed two sycamore leaves in the gap between the threshold and the gate, and when I looked again the next day, the two sycamore leaves were gone. ”

Miao Hong Speaking of this, Hua Jingyao has refreshed her good impression of him, this Miao Hong is not only bold, but also very careful, and her brain is also very sensitive.

"And then? You just put this cat in? Hua Jingyao asked again.

"I once came at night and wanted to climb over the wall to get in, but ...... The people who live here are not rich or expensive, even if they are not rich and noble, they are also famous, so the night patrol army is one after another, once, I just walked to the mouth of the alley, I was stopped, I said that I am a student in the academy, I stayed late in the Lixiang Courtyard, I was afraid that the academy would be closed, I wanted to find Mr. to spend the night, but I was almost escorted to find Mr. to confront him, since then, I have dispelled the idea of climbing over the wall, I have no martial arts, and my skills are not agile enough, it is inevitable that someone will find out. But I remembered the cat, and it would be nice if I could be as nimble as a cat, so I brought this cat here, and it was daytime, and there were a lot of people coming and going here, and I used to come here to buy paint, so I didn't arouse suspicion, and I sent the cat into the wall without much effort. Miao Hong said, gently stroking the cat, and the cat raised its head coquettishly and meowed at him.

Hua Jingyao asked, "It's a pity that you waited and waited, but you didn't wait for this cat to come back to the academy, do you think Xiuxiu left it as a companion?" ”

"Yes, I thought Xiuxiu left it behind, I used to take it to see Xiuxiu. Although I have fed a lot of wild cats, but wild cats are different from domestic cats, they are very wild, even if I feed them every day, they are not willing to let me touch them and hold them, only this cat, probably because it was injured when it was a child, was raised by me for a while, it is the closest to me. So I took it to meet Xiuxiu, and Xiuxiu liked it too, and we painted it together. I know that Xiuxiu must still know it, Xiuxiu will not forget it, and she will not forget me......"
