Zhao Kaizhi suddenly became half a step shorter, and stammered: "Then, then you say, let's talk about it, I really don't know where to start." ”

"What's you, me, won't my brother be called?"

"Brother Song. Zhao Kaizhi blinked his eyes and looked at her pitifully.

Long Xi instantly felt like a bandit leader who oppressed the women of a good family, and the dark side of his psychology was greatly satisfied: "That's right." Let me tell you where to start, didn't Chen Shengxiao say that his face was very bad when he saw your father, why did he have a bad face, he really quarreled with your mother? The little guy said that he didn't go to the banquet, but was locked in the room alone until the second watch, why didn't he go to the banquet?"

"Your father is a businessman, and the banquet of the local squire is a great opportunity to expand his network, why doesn't he go? Is there something or someone more important than expanding his relationships? Finally, and most importantly, from the time he returned to the room to the second watch, did he really stay in the room, and the little servant said that he knocked on the door and asked him if he had eaten, but there was no reply in the room, so is it possible that he went elsewhere?"

"My dad sleeps very lightly, and he will wake up at the slightest movement, if that little guy really knocks on the door, there is no possibility that my dad will not wake up. Zhao Kaizhi's voice was low.

Long Xi also put away those smug thoughts and analyzed carefully: "Suppose that his bad face is really because of a quarrel with your mother, and he is indeed sleeping in the room, then there is no other problem." But if his bad face is because of someone or something we don't know, then I have reason to suspect that he wasn't in the room that day, but secretly went somewhere else to meet with someone. ”

"According to Chen Shengxiao, your father doesn't know anyone else in Chaoyun County, which means that that person is most likely not from Chaoyun County, but just came here to meet your father. Could it be that the person who needs to be hidden from an old friend for many years is the one who often goes to your house secretly?"

"I remember very clearly, my father didn't have any quarrels with my mother before I came to Chaoyun County, his face was not right, it definitely had nothing to do with my mother, and that man came to see him the day before my father left. Zhao Kaizhi said slowly.

Long Xi's intuition told her that this mysterious man was most likely the murderer, but what was the motive for the murder and where his whereabouts became the biggest question that bothered her. What's more, it was just her instinct, there was no evidence to back it up, and even if the man was found, there was no way to get him to confess.

But is it just that simple? The uneasy feeling in Long Xi's heart grew heavier and heavier, as if she had missed something extremely important.

On the second day, the weather was excellent, Long Xi and Zhao Kaizhi planned to go shopping on the street, and by the way, find out if anyone had seen Xu Ju in the county, but Zhao Jin talked with Chen Shengxiao very happily and did not go with them.

The street market in Chaoyun County is much more lively than in Juxin County, especially the snack street next to Yunhe, even if it is not a meal, there are many diners who eat happily, Long Xi laughed secretly in his heart: It seems that there were a lot of foodies in ancient times.

After all, Zhao Kaizhi has a child's heart, even if he doesn't eat food, he likes to join in the fun, and he dragged the corner of Long Xi's clothes to the crowd. Long Xi couldn't resist him, and he was also salivated by the fragrance of food, so he simply let him go.

There were so many people on the street that it took more than half an hour to buy something from the best stalls. The two of them bought a bunch of large bags and hugged them in their arms, and then looked at the tables and chairs that were already full of seats in each stall, and decided to give up the plan to sit, and went directly to the river to find a shady mat to sit on, opened the oil paper bag and began to sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple.

Rock sugar gourd, Shandong pancake......

The food of the two was full of food on the ground, which attracted everyone's sideways, a girl's family, a small child, actually ate so much?

The two of them who were feasting didn't bother to pay attention to other people's eyes, and filling their stomachs was the key! The two even argued over a chicken leg.

Long Xi felt that Zhao Kaizhi had already eaten a chicken leg, and the remaining one should naturally be eaten by her.

Zhao Kaizhi thought that Long Xi had eaten two big chicken wings by himself, so of course he should eat two chicken legs.

The final result was that Long Xi grabbed the chicken leg and took a bite of it regardless of it, showing off the incomplete chicken leg and laughing, she thought that it was all like this, this child couldn't snatch it again.

Who would have thought that Zhao Kaizhi glanced at her hatefully and pounced directly to snatch the chicken leg, and bit all the remaining meat into his mouth with three strokes and five divisions, and his cheeks were bulging.

He threw away the chicken bones and looked at her defiantly.

After a moment of apprehension, Long Xi pointed at Zhao Kaizhi angrily: "You little broken child, you are too despicable, that is what I gnawed! This is called indirect kissing, do you understand, don't you all pay attention to whether men give or not kiss!"

Zhao Kaizhi pulled the towel and elegantly wiped the oil stains on his hands, and said contemptuously: "What kind of system is yelling and yelling, it's a big deal that I will suffer a loss, and I will marry you when I grow up." ”

After saying that, he actually blushed and grinned.

Hearing this, Long Xi was even angrier!

Marry me?

She scolded, "Who wants you to marry this stinky little brat? I don't have that fetish for anything!"

"I don't even think you're old, you still think I'm young?"

"I'm only seventeen, okay!" Long Xi was so angry that his nose was crooked.

Zhao Kaizhi sighed: "I'm seventeen, and I was three years old when my mother was seventeen." You see you haven't been asked for it yet, it's pathetic. You are a few years older than me, then I have to think carefully about whether I am responsible or not, so I will suffer too much, you are too old. ”

Long Xi was angry, when he first met, he felt that this little kid was very polite and gentle, how come it seems that in addition to the tsundere attribute, there are more poisonous tongue attributes!

She really wants to press this cargo into the cloud river and drown, okay!

Just when the two were at a stalemate, the sound of conversation next to him distracted Long Xi's attention.

Originally, in ancient times, food was not spoken, but the food stalls by the river are just like modern food stalls, and it is natural for everyone to eat, drink, chat and brag, and no one pays attention to the etiquette of the saints. In addition, this place is close to the dock, and there are people everywhere, so the news is naturally well-informed.

It was two dock workers-like men who spoke, all tanned and muscular.

"Lao Zheng, let me tell you, I encountered an incident a few days ago, and it is not strange to say that it is strange, but what those two people said made me more impressed. ”

"What's the matter, didn't you mean that the girl of Qianjin Pavilion could sleep without money?" the man named Lao Zheng laughed.

The man pushed him and frowned, "I am a person with a mother-in-law, and I never go to those smoky places." ”

"Okay, well, I know that your old Lu is afraid of your mother-in-law. Tell me what made you run a boat and remember it so clearly. ”

Lao Lu took a bite of spring rolls, poured a sip of soju, and then slowly spoke: "We all like to set off at night, you know, that day is the departure time, I was moving goods, and suddenly felt a stomachache, so I said to the shopkeeper, go to the toilet." ”

"Is this something worth remembering for so long?" Lao Zheng snorted.

Lao Lu said again: "Don't worry, don't you finish yet." I didn't squat long before two people came outside, seemingly arguing about something. One of them said Why did you come, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and the other person said Master Qin, they pulled me to drink a few more glasses, didn't I come in a hurry, if you have something to say, I have to rush back, so as not to make them suspicious. ”

"The man said before that you know that Lao Lei came to me, he said that the amount of silver back then was wrong, we gave him a less, and asked me to share a little more from him, otherwise he would go to sue the official, and everyone would be dead. The man in the back immediately became anxious, and said how did he know that the amount of silver was wrong back then? Did you tell him? They all said that he was an insatiable man, and that he had little contact with him, and that after so many years, you didn't believe it, and you wanted to have close contact with him!"

"The man said again that I could not have told him these things, and that I was not afraid that he would come to me in trouble! Am I not also surprised how he could have come to you when he knew that the money was wrong, and you would not have come to you when he could not get any money from me? What is the use of you blaming me now, it is better to think of more ways to solve this matter! The man in the back spoke after a long time, and he said that it is better to do nothing and get rid of him than this!"

"What the hell have you heard!" Old Feng looked at him dumbfounded.

Lao Lu poured another sip of soju and said angrily: "How do I know what I heard! At that time, I had already finished pulling, but I didn't dare to go out, I always felt that if I was discovered by those two people, I would definitely not end well!"

"So, did those two people say anything?"

"Yes! They also talked a lot!" Lao Lu drank several sips of wine, as if to embolden himself: "But Lao Tzu was trembling at that time, for fear that they would find out about me, how could he still remember what they were talking about! I didn't dare to come out until they had been gone for a long time, but when I missed the boat, I was scolded by the owner!"

"I don't think it's easy, these two people are likely to be robbers who burned and looted, you are fortunate to have no roads, otherwise there will definitely be danger. Lao Feng's voice also became serious, "We little people, don't fight with those robbers who kill people without blinking, just tell me about this today, don't take it outside and talk nonsense, in case the robber hears you, you will be miserable!"

"Nonsense! You and I are not afraid of death! I just have been thinking about it in my heart for so many days, and if I don't find someone to talk about it, I will be in a panic, and it will be fine if I say it, and of course I will not talk nonsense to others if I am bored. ”

"Excuse me, can you repeat it to me again?" Long Xi's voice sounded at the right time.
