There weren't many people in the tavern in the afternoon.

Miao Miaomiao randomly chose a place with a good view and sat down.

No one came to greet him for a long time, so he looked around, only to find that Jiu Xiaoer was sitting under the counter dozing and lazy.

"Little Er, where's your wine list?" The girl clasped the table and woke him up.

Jiu Xiaoer squinted his eyes and apologized: "Two guest officers, it's a little snubbing!" Here's your wine list, order whatever you want! ”

Miao Miaomiao saw that there were many types of this wine.

Wang Funian tugged at her sleeve and reminded in a low voice with an embarrassed face: "My lord...... It's cheaper...... I don't really have much money with me...... I spent almost as much money on rice and noodles just now. ”

"I'll tell you as much as you spend, but you must be invited for a drink." She ordered a pot of sake at random, "That's it, I can't get used to it." ”

Wang Funian breathed a sigh of relief, and asked at Jiu Xiaoer, "What kind of side dishes are you sending?" ”

The wine boy quickly put a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts on the tray: "Two guest officers, please take a seat." ”

The two of them sat by the window, just in time to see the guests coming and going from the inn opposite.

"There are quite a few inns in this simple town."

Miao Miaomiao didn't want to mention it, and Wang Funian immediately replied: "My lord doesn't know, this simple town is the main road linking the northwest, there are many merchants, and there are naturally many inns. ”

"In that case, there must be a lot of taxes, right?"

"Not really!" Wang Funian rubbed the shell of the peanuts, "The annual taxes and the soldiers levied are among the best in other towns, otherwise how can they be rated so much?" ”

Miao Miaomiao smiled meaningfully, her eyes looked at the sun, and the sun was already setting in the west.

The hour was getting late, and she was going to sit for a while and then go back to prepare for the evening.

At this moment, a very familiar woman came out of the inn.

The woman was wearing a veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but the familiarity came to her face.

"Shhhh ”

Wang Funian glanced at it, and then threw the peanut into his mouth: "My lord, haven't you just seen her!" ”

"Who?" Miao Miaomiao thought about it for a while, and a salutation suddenly appeared in her throat, "She?!" ”

"That's right! It's this woman. ”

How did this woman end up here?

I also changed my outfit and put on a cloak.

If it weren't for Miao Miaomiao's sharp eyes, she would have almost been mixed up by her.

Wang Funian was not surprised at all, and he didn't have any gossip heart.

She looked at him strangely and asked why.

The person replied slowly: "A young woman in her thirties marries an old man in her eighties, how can people keep being widowed and lonely?" ”

"Don't ruin people's reputation if you say what you say." The girl snatched the glass from his hand and placed it on her side.

"My lord, you are young and don't understand that thirty is the age when a woman is like a wolf and a tiger."

Miao Miaomiaoxin said that this guy looks down on people?

Although she is young, she has seen a lot!

"Why didn't I know?"

A girl like her, who grew up in the Internet environment, is by no means more naïve than the man in front of her.

"Since the adult knows, then I, Wang, will also make a bet with the adult, and bet on whether my guess just now is right!"

Looking at the guy in front of him who was a little underbeaten and a little cheap, Miao Miaomiao couldn't wait to agree: "What's the bet?" ”

Wang Funian took the wine glass and drank all the wine in the cup: "Just bet on this meal." ”

While the two were talking, a man dressed as a scholar walked out of the inn.

The girl's eyes lit up, and she almost screamed, but Wang Funian covered her mouth.

The scholar walked away.

Miao Miaomiao then spoke: "This guy is actually here!" ”

"My lord, you were almost exposed ...... just now"

The girl didn't care what he was going to say later, put down the wine money, and told Wang Funian to go back to the inn first, and then ran away without a trace.

……

The black cat followed Cao Shiliang to the west courtyard.

There are fifty or sixty people living in this small western courtyard.

There were three to four people in each room, and the twenty or so rooms were already full.

It's dinner time.

However, as soon as Cao Shiliang entered the house, he took off his shoes and lay on the bed.

The others were not surprised, and they didn't call him when they went out to eat together.

Miao Miaomiao sighed, when Cao Shiliang's popularity was too bad, snoring sounded on the bed.

She leaned closer to him and sniffed, and the smell of the woman's fat powder on this body couldn't help frowning.

A search of his desk showed no credible clues other than books and books to his motives.

How can two people who have never had any enmity between them have a grudge?

But this scholar is obviously lying!

Her instincts shouldn't be wrong......

It's just that......

Could it be that she didn't examine the body carefully enough during the day and missed any clues?

"Shi Liang?"

The voices outside frightened Miao Miaomiao and hurriedly got under the bed.

At this time, a man outside the door held a book in his hand and pushed open the door: "Shi Liang, I remembered wrongly, this "Ten Techniques of Imperial Horses" was borrowed by Senior Brother Lin Xi, isn't it...... Ay? Asleep? I don't know why I go every day......"

The man placed the book on his desk and left.

Miao Miaomiao came out from under the bed and jumped on the table: "I haven't heard of the title of this book......"

She opened the book and glanced at it, but there was nothing special in it.

After wandering around the house for a while, there were no substantive clues, and Miao Miaomiao left the west courtyard disappointed.

……

The night is like a curtain, and the moon is like a hook.

At this hour, Zhang Dagen's body is estimated to have been picked up by his family.

The innkeeper must have lost a lot of silver, and Zhang Dagen will be buried in a few days.

Miao Miaomiao wanted to go to the autopsy again.

When she arrived at this thatched hut in the daytime, Miao Miaomiao saw the coffin in the hall at a glance.

A couple sat on the ground leaning against the coffin with red eyes and dejected spirits.

Miao Miaomiao bypassed their gaze and jumped into the coffin.

The corpse had been carefully scrubbed.

The clothes on his body were also changed, and he had pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a few books by his side.

The family probably also knew his thoughts, so they put them together with him.

And these things are also valuable things in the house.

Miao Miaomiao re-examined the body again, and this time she made a shocking discovery!

Can human brains be green?!

Her cat's paw felt a green, sticky substance on the back of his head.

It looks like some kind of algae.

Hiss –

Miao Miaomiao opened his mouth with great difficulty, and it was full of green viscous substance, as well as a strange fragrance.

Sticking out his sharp nails and hooking inward, he grabbed a piece of flesh, and then gently pulled it out......

“……”

The black cat looked at the green tongue dangling on its paws, and all it remembered was the green soft popsicle that he had eaten as a child.

"Gross!"

Miao Miaomiao felt a tumbling in her stomach.

The sound was disgusting, and it was especially clear in the silence of the night.

The husband and wife looked at each other, then slowly stood up.

Seeing this scene in the coffin, he immediately screamed in fright.
