Chapter 123: The Missing Man

"What did you say?" Before Tang Ning could speak, Xie Xiaobai's eyes widened first.

He had a pair of big round eyes, and when he stared at him like this, he looked bigger and bigger. It's a pity that the child's face is fat, angry and dissatisfied, and it looks like a coquette.

"That fox—" He wanted to say that the fox from all directions was worthy of his mother, but before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Tang Ning.

"I suspect you're not Yao Huang." Tang Ning took Xie Xiaobai by the hand and hid him behind him.

Yao Huang looked at it, frowning slightly: "Huh? ”

Tang Ning said: "If you are really the sister of the Yao family, how can you not know my age." ”

Yao Huang was stunned, yes, Tang Ning was two years younger than her. But looking at that child, how can he be four or five years old, it really doesn't make sense......

She turned her face away, coughed twice, and asked, "Since it's not, then why does he call you mother?" ”

Downing raised his hand and pointed to his head.

Yao Huang let out a long "oh": "I see." ”

Xie Xiaobai poked out half of his face from behind Tang Ning: "What is it?" ”

Yao Huang squatted down and smiled at him: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just suddenly thought that I had something to eat." She took off a purse and stuffed it into Xie Xiaobai, "It's delicious." ”

Xie Xiaobai looked at her suspiciously and opened her purse.

There were two pieces of candy in it, and it smelled sweet and cool.

Yao Huang said: "It's pear paste candy." ”

Xie Xiaobai pinched a piece.

Yao Huang looked at him with pity.

I really can't see it, it's a stupid child.

Xie Xiaobai looked obedient and ate candy.

The atmosphere suddenly became calm. Tang Ning lightly tapped Yao Huang's shoulder and asked her to stand up: "You just said that you came here to investigate the case?" ”

Yao Huang smiled and asked, "Reunite after a long absence, don't you need to reminisce about the old days first?" ”

Downing didn't smile, the last time they saw each other was at their mother's funeral. She can't remember most of the events of that day, but she remembers that the eyes of the adults were strange, and even the tears were full of inquiry.

Like her, they are curious about their mother's death.

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "Let's get down to business first." ”

Seeing this, Yao Huang also smiled on his face and said, "I said that I came to investigate the case, but I didn't lie, but I am afraid that no one cares about this case except me." ”

"What case?" Tang Ning asked, turning his face sideways to look into the distance.

I don't know if Garan has found someone.

Yao Huang, who was standing in front of her, also subconsciously followed her gaze.

The sky was gray.

Yao Huang pondered and did not speak immediately.

Tang Ning said: "Is it a case related to this house?" ”

When Yao Huang heard this, he immediately asked, "Why do you ask like this?" ”

Tang Ning looked around and said calmly: "If it has nothing to do with it, what are you doing here?" ”

"That's right......" Yao Huang's hand, resting on the hilt of the knife, did not have such white and thin fingers, and tapped it again and again, "By the way, where have you been in the past ten years?" ”

Tang Ning frowned: "You don't know? ”

Yao Huang shook his head.

Downing said, "No, you know. ”

Yao Huang's fingers stopped: "You are so suspicious." ”

Tang Ning smiled lowly: "You've already heard about the murder case in Leizhou, right?" ”

“……”

Under the moonlit night, the two girls standing opposite each other suddenly stopped talking.

The air was so quiet that it gave rise to an unsettling anxiety.

Xie Xiaobai tugged at Tang Ning's sleeve: "Mother, do you want to drive her away?" ”

Tang Ning shook his head slightly.

Yao Huang said: "I heard that the Tang family in Leizhou had a tragic disaster, and no one survived. "Jiangcheng and Leizhou are not so far away, such a big case, even if ordinary people don't know, as a soap li, she has heard of it somewhat.

Downing asked, "So what?" ”

"So?" Yao Huang's breathing became heavier, "If you are really Tang Ning, then you are a suspect who faked his death and escaped; If you don't, it's a bigger problem. ”

Tang Ning looked at her and said, "Then do you think I am or not?" ”

Yao Huang said: "Since you know about the Yao family, it is most likely the real Tang Ning." ”

What's more, if you take a closer look, Tang Ning was born quite similar to the aunt of the Song family in her memory.

A child born of a beauty is also a beauty when she grows up.

Yao Huang clenched the knife and said in a deep voice: "What is the murder case in Leizhou?" ”

Downing didn't speak.

Xie Xiaobai suddenly called "fox", and as soon as everyone looked up, they saw a silver-haired boy standing on the wall.

Tang Ning's face changed suddenly.

He came back alone.

The moonlight fell on him, making his face look solemn.

Downing asked, "What about people?" ”

Jia Lan shook his head and called, "Lord Xie Su? ”

When Xie Xiaobai heard this, his expression became serious. This fox actually called him Master Xie Su.

He was silent for a moment, looked up at the young man under the moon, shook his head, and said, "The time for death has not come, but he is still alive." ”

Garan jumped down from the wall: "An hour." ”

Xie Xiaobai said: "That's right, an hour." ”

Just because their names are not crossed out in the book of life and death does not mean that they will not die tonight. That cinnabar blood streak would only appear an hour before the blade of fate fell.

Jia Lan groaned, "Ah Yan is gone. ”

The boy in white moved his eyebrows slightly.

The life and death of the monster is not something he can find.

He walked over and gently took Tang Ning's hand: "Mother." ”

Tang Ning said: "Is there no way to track Ah Yan?" ”

At this time, Yao Huang, who was holding the knife, suddenly asked with a gloomy face: "Someone is missing again?" ”

When Tang Ning heard the word "again", he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What do you know?" ”

With a "clang" sound, the long knife was unsheathed.

Yao Huang pulled out the knife again, and the moonlight brought a burst of cold air, illuminating the blade as cold as thin ice.

She didn't answer, but asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?" What time of death, what hour? In that case, if someone else said it, it would have come out of the mouth of a child.

The way he just spoke, where did he look like a fool?

And what nonsense?

Why does the boy's name sound like a fox?

Yao Huang looked at them warily.

Tang Ning said: "Even if I tell you, you won't believe it." ”

Yao Huang said: "You can try." ”

Xie Xiaobai sighed.

Garan showed fox ears and fangs under the moon: "Trouble, people are really annoying. ”

He took a step closer to Yao Huang, but the expected screaming and escape did not happen.

The expression of the girl in black was indescribably eccentric.

"There really are youkai in the world...... she muttered, putting the knife down.

"Who's missing?" She asked.

Downing said: "Who is the difference what? ”

Yao Huang took a deep breath: "Ten years ago, your father disappeared. Six years later, the servant who showed you the house was gone. Since then, there have been people in Jiangcheng who have been quietly disappearing. ”
