This case has been with the longest time, and it is very difficult to have the least clues, and until now, I finally have reliable clues, but I feel that it will be broken at any time.

"Don't panic, we've walked ninety-nine steps in a hundred steps."

"Hold on a little longer." Song Ning said, "When it's done, I'll invite you to dinner." ”

Wu Xian smiled and said, "My lord, this time there is no bitter master, we don't have any case fees." ”

"It's okay, I'll give it to you."

Everyone laughed: "My lord is so generous. ”

In fact, they don't care about the cost of the case, now they just want to find the truth.

To the people of Zhufu, they want to see people alive and see corpses when they die.

Song Ning said to Yang Changgen, "You go to the Seven Winds Temple to see if Zhong Qing went back last night." ”

Yang Chang even went to the Seven Winds Temple and came back in about half an hour.

His face was very strange: "My lord, the people in the Seven Winds Temple said that Zhong Qing didn't go back last night. ”

"Didn't go back?" Song Ning looked at Shen Wenyu, and Shen Wenyu said, "I told him last night, and he agreed that I would go back, and I sent him to the city gate to confirm that he was out of the city." ”

"Look for it again." Song Ning always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't analyze it for a while, and there was a problem there.

Shen Wenyu and a few people did things separately, stalking and looking for Zhong Qing.

Song Ning turned out the previous files, arranged them in a tall stack, and took notes while reading.

Song and Yuan were writing documents on the side.

Zhao Yi sat opposite her, and also smoked a roll casually and looked at it unhurriedly.

A room for three people, quiet for a while.

At the end of the day, Song Ning read a lot of dossier cases, but Shen Wenyu and Qiao Si found nothing.

"Didn't find Zhong Qing?" Song Ning was surprised.

Shen Wenyu's expression was a little ugly.

"Will it be ......" Zhao Yi was just halfway through speaking, Song Ning stood up and said, "Let's go to the family class." ”

She strode out.

Everyone didn't doubt him, and followed him to the Chengjia class.

Tonight's Chengjia class is the same as yesterday, the children open on the stage, and the audience sits down in twos and threes or watches or chats, just waiting for Yuan Tian to play.

As soon as Song Ning arrived, he saw Ma Zili walking back and forth between the backstage and the front desk, waving and shouting to the little apprentice to speak, jumping around like headless flies one by one.

"Stop!" Song Ning was polite, let the play on the stage stop, everyone looked at her in surprise, Song Ning beckoned Ma Zili to come over, "What are you doing, lost your soul?" ”

Ma Zili wiped his sweat and saluted, "Your Excellency is here." ”

"Also, it's nothing, it's just, there's something missing, let everyone look for it."

Ma Zili said, his eyes flickering.

Song Ning pushed him away and went backstage.

Yuan Tian, who was supposed to sit in the mirror and put on makeup, was not there.

Song Ning turned around and asked Ma Zili with his eyes.

"The villain, the villain is also looking for him." Ma Zili said, "It's still there just now." ”

Song Ning's eyes walked around the room, his eyes fell on the little martial artist the day before yesterday, and beckoned him to come over: "Didn't you see Xiao Liuhong?" ”

"He was sitting here just now putting on his makeup." Xiao Wuxing shook his head, "We're looking for it." ”

Song Ning bowed slightly: "How long has it been just now?" ”

"It was just the beginning." They started at the beginning of the unitary hour, and now it was just dark, and the unitary hour was only three quarters later.

Xiao Yanagi Hong appeared on time at four o'clock every day.

"So, is his face covered with makeup, or is it clean?"

Xiao Wuxing was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Up, up, right?" ”

"It's on. He wore makeup for half an hour. Ma Zili answered.

Song Ning bowed slightly, and said, "Then you should go and find Xiao Liuhong." ”

Ma Zili was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "Yes, yes, let's go and find it." ”

He urged a few big apprentices at the door to find Xiao Liuhong, and he stood by himself without moving.

Song Ning asked Xiao Wuxing: "When do you usually rest and sleep?" ”

"I usually go to bed around midnight." After Xiao Wuxing finished speaking, he added, "It was late last night, because, because the adult asked about the fan pendant, the class master and Xiao Liuhong quarreled, and everyone went back to sleep around the time of the child." ”

The other children chimed in: "yes, yes, we're all sleepy." ”

Song Ning counted them and asked, "How many children are there in the same age as you?" ”

"We've all been around for about a year or two, and we're nine of us." Xiao Wu said, "There are also senior brothers who are four years older than us, and seventeen or eighteen-year-old senior brothers like Xiao Liuhong, a total of twenty or seven people. ”

"Then your troupe is really young, and in a few years you will be able to go on stage, and it will definitely be more prosperous."

Xiao Wuhan giggled and laughed: "Everyone is saying that." ”

"What were you doing when the class master was arguing with Xiao Yanagihong?" Song Ning pointed to a room where it was obviously cleaned up, "Are you packing up these things?" ”

Everyone's expressions changed, you nodded and he shook his head, Xiao Wuxing said, "Yes, we are packing up our things." ”

"It's usually messy, but I cleaned it up last night." Ma Zili smiled and said, "Your Excellency is really careful, you can see it." ”

"You're right, the official is really careful, this dress wasn't put here the day before yesterday." Song Ning picked up a pink coat of Hua Dan that was hanging, "It's on the left." ”

Xiao Wuxing was taken aback.

Song Ning brought up another set of blue ones: "This is in the second row." ”

Zhao Yi also walked up and said, "This box is in the corner." ”

"This gong is placed on the boots, and the two boots are misplaced left and right."

"This mirror is not placed here, the mirror here the day before yesterday...... There's a crack in the upper left corner, I'll look for it, which one is it......" In everyone's sight, Song Ning walked around the long table with his hands behind his back, and looked at the more than ten mirrors on the table, "It doesn't seem to be a change of position." ”

Song Ning suddenly looked at Ma Zili: "It's because the mirror is completely broken, and I took it and put it here." ”

"That's right, yesterday there were fourteen mirrors on the table, and today there are only thirteen." Zhao Yi said.

Ma Zili looked at the two people dumbfounded.

The others were amazed.

Who can remember the location of things in the backstage of a messy theater troupe?

Here it is.

Not one, but two.

It opened their eyes.

"Do you hear that?" Song Ning asked Ma Zili, "Is the mirror broken?" ”

Ma Zili looked at Song Ning, suddenly shouted, and asked all his apprentices: "Did someone break the mirror and stand up!" ”

"Yes, it's me." A skinny boy stood up with his shoulders hunched, "Class master, yes, I broke it." Last night when I was wiping the table, I accidentally pushed it down, and I was afraid that you would find out, so I took a mirror from another place and put it here. ”

Another older child immediately nodded: "Yes, it's my fault, I didn't take a good look at my junior brother." ”

"It's definitely another fight, and I'm not allowed to eat tomorrow." Ma Zili scolded the two, and explained to Song Ning, "The two adults have good memories, if you two didn't find out, the villains wouldn't know that these children were in trouble again." ”

"A mirror like that is a lot of money."

Song Ning looked at Ma Zili, then at these children, raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, it's really a group of naughty children." ”

"Not going to look for Xiaoyanagi Hong?"

Ma Zili said: "Let others find it." ”

"My lord, why don't you tell me clearly, is Xiao Liuhong committing a crime, you are coming here in a row...... The villain, the villain was very panicked, and he didn't dare to ask. Ma Zili said.

Song Ning ignored him, walked with his hands behind his back, and said, "Yuntai, let's continue to play games." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yi said, "This hanger has moved its position, the day before yesterday the hanger was diagonally towards the table legs, someone has moved." ”

As he spoke, he opened the hanger and found that a piece had fallen on the ground, so he simply pushed it open and said, "This monkey's golden hoop stick is leaning against the door." ”

"Why did it fall in the hanger?" Zhao Yi picked up the golden hoop stick, "This is bloodstains?" ”

Ma Zili's face turned pale, and he trotted up: "No, no, how can there be bloodstains?" ”

Shen Wenyu drew his knife and clanged.

The whole backstage was silent all of a sudden.

The children's breathing was suppressed.

"Don't worry." Zhao Yi put the golden hoop stick behind him and didn't show it to Ma Zili, "Lord Song, it's your turn." ”

There is nothing only he knows.

Song Ning bowed slightly, walked with his hands behind his back, and stopped in front of a child: "The day before yesterday, you were wearing black pants, a yellow shirt, and a little yellow hat, why are you gray pants today?" ”

"It's just that you're different from them."

The boy said, "I—I haven't had time to change yet." ”

Song Yuanshi answered with kindness: "I'll help you find it, where are the pants?" ”

It's costumes, and everyone should be the same.

Song Yuanshi flipped through his clothes.

Ma Zili wiped a handful of sweat and felt that these yamen people were terrible.

The audience who was waiting for the play at the door waited for a long time and shouted for a long time, but no one came up on the stage, so some people climbed up the stage and directly lifted the curtain to the backstage, and one or two people crowded at the door and the steps to watch the excitement.

It doesn't matter if you don't know the situation, Lord Song can't be wrong here.

"My lord, I didn't find my pants." Song Yuanshi looked at the child, "Where's your pants?" ”

The child's face was painted with white paint, and a little sweat brushed it down, forming a "ravine", and the face was flowery.

"Ahem." Ma Zili coughed and pleaded, "Lord Song, what's wrong with this?" ”

"You said, if there is a problem, we will accompany you to investigate."

Song Ning looked at Ma Zili and asked, "Why did you go back so late last night?" ”

"Because you checked Xiao Liuhong three times and twice, the villain planned to remind Xiao Liuhong a few words, but I didn't expect that child to be very stubborn."

"Isn't it because Zhong Qing secretly hid in and was discovered by you? Isn't it because Zhong Qing hid in his clothes with a golden hoop stick and broke the child's costume pants during the fight? ”

Ma Zili said in surprise: "My lord, who, who is Zhong Qing?" ”

Song Ning stood in front of Ma Zili with his hands behind his back: "Do you recruit it yourself, or will we search it?" ”

Ma Zili's face also sank, he was no longer polite, and calmly made a gesture of please: "If the adult wants to search the villain, he can't stop it." ”

"Those who are clear are self-purifying, please take care of them."
