The young man walked over, squatted down next to him, and asked softly, "Can you tell me the last time you saw Miss Dong'er, what did she look like?" When was it? Jian Qing didn't dare to guarantee, but still said, "Maybe I can help you find it." ”

A glimmer of hope rose in the young man's desperate heart, he supported his arms on the ground, straightened up, and when he raised his head, Jian Qing saw a pair of shrewd and unexposed eyes, just as she thought, the young man's eyes were red, and he should have just shed tears, "Dong'er, she is so tall......" The young man stood up and gestured, a little shorter than Jian Qing, "Her eyes are very beautiful, like stars in the sky." ”

Every girl in the heart of a teenager has about a pair of eyes as bright as stars.

"Early this morning, Dong'er went to the river to wash her face, and she didn't come back for a long time. Grandma asked the little dun next door to tell me, and I hurriedly went to the river to look for it, but I didn't find it. Someone told me that a man led Dong'er into the city, so I went to the city to look for it. Some people said that Dong'er had been to the county office, I was very worried, and I waited at the gate of the county government for a long time, and a kind messenger told me that a little beggar went to the county government in the morning to deliver the news, and they did not embarrass the beggar and let her go. ”

"There is indeed a little beggar in the morning, she is dressed in tatters, her head and face are dirty, is it Dong'er?" Jian Qing actually knew it in his heart, but he still confirmed it.

"It's Dong'er, Dong'er was almost bullied in the city yesterday, so I said let her get dirty in the future, and when I find a job and can feed my grandmother and her, she will wash herself again."

The boy was a little shy when he said this, but in Jian Qing's eyes, the boy was really clever and knew how to protect his beloved girl.

"I'm worried that someone has seen Dong'er and is guarding the door behind the Jade Building, for fear that those bad-hearted people will sell Dong'er. After waiting for a while, I saw a carriage coming, clearly ready to stop, saw me and continued to walk forward, so I chased after it, the car walked and walked, into an alley, I thought it was not good, but it was late, someone put me in a sack, I was beaten, when I woke up, I could no longer see Dong'er. ”

"Where was he beaten? You take me to see it. ”

"Who are you?"

"I'm ...... A person under the prince is investigating a case. Jian Qing hid the identity of the worker, because when it comes to the worker, the identity of these homeless people is stronger than her.

Jian Qing led the little beggar into the city, when he was on the main street, turned left, entered the alley behind the jade building, walked a few steps forward, turned left, and when he was in the small alley between the Wang family's tofu and the ownerless courtyard, the little beggar pointed to the sack that had not been picked up inside, "It's here." ”

Here it is again!

Jian Qing Dynasty glanced at the gray and white wall, that is to say, it is possible that when she looked at the red suitcase in the backyard of this house, the murderer did another thing here, but who could it be? The other party found out about her, and she didn't find out about the other person?

Is this incident related to the food box and the report of He Donglai?

For a while, Jian Qing was a little confused. She walked deeper into the alley with her hands behind her back, standing at the end, the left side could go home, and the right side was a few steps away from the gap in the backyard wall. She walked over as she wished, saw the broken wall, and climbed over it again, and under the eaves of the backyard, the food box was still there.

Jian Qing stared at the food box for a while, and when she came out again, the little beggar stood next to the broken wall and looked at her, her eyes full of hope.

"You do me a favor and secretly inquire, did any of you hand over a note to the county government early this morning? If so, who is the person handing the note? Or what does it look like? Jian Qing said to Li Gou'er.

"Why? Does it have anything to do with Dong'er? ”

"Maybe it has something to do with it." Jian Qing couldn't be sure what the other party had done, but she put herself in her shoes and thought that if the rich and noble really lacked manpower, they would not buy a beggar. Beggars are new and need training before taking up their posts, which is not cost-effective. Moreover, rich and noble families are very disciplined, and for the sake of safety, they will not use a person who does not know the roots.

Li Gou'er opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but was preempted by Jian Qing, "If you want to find Dong'er, you must listen to me." ”

"Good!"

Jian Qing took out a hard tortilla from his arms and handed it to Li Gou'er, "Although we each take what we need, but I delayed you to receive the porridge just now, this is compensation." ”

The young man hesitated, his pride made him unable to stretch out his hand, but Jian Qing's words were very reasonable, and he was indeed hungry, so he snatched the cake and was about to run, Jian Qing hurriedly called out to him, pointing to his yard, "After the next door, it is my house, if you have any news, go to my house to find me."

The county government was interrogating He Donglai, and the two men couldn't stop the people who wanted to see the excitement, and a large area was crowded in front of the door.

Jian Qing couldn't squeeze in, so he had to stand on tiptoe at the door and look in, standing on both sides of the hall, and He Donglai knelt in front of the hall.

"He Donglai, what did you do on the night of the third year of junior high school, and you didn't recruit from the truth!"

"Lord Qingtian, the grass people haven't done anything, the grass people have already explained, the grass people entered the city at the moment and went to He's rice shop, and the reconciliation with the shopkeeper, because of the dislike of the rice shop There is a musty smell in the bedroom, so I moved the place overnight and went to the Xinglai Inn. I knew that there would be dead people over there, so the grass people didn't go, and they could just make do there all night. ”

This makes sense!

Jiang Zhonglin, a scholar, was pedantic to death, frowning and thinking for a long time, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal, and he didn't know how to ask next. He couldn't help but look at Shi Zhong.

It was not Shi Zhong's intention to arrest people, and after he was arrested, he started the trial without preparation, which was indeed a bit radical. But the matter has come to this, Shi Zhong can't be the master of the county master, so he has to touch his beard, and ask in a strong manner, "There is blood on the shoes, how do you explain it?" ”

"That's not the grass people's shoes, and the grass people have never seen them."

"You say it's not your shoes, but they're the size of your feet. The guys in Mi Xing have all been recruited, saying that the shoes are yours, do you still want to deny it? ”

There was a sigh in the crowd, and Jian Qing also heard for the first time that Mi Xing's work was actually a witness, what if the shoes were really He Donglai?

Jian Qing could only see He Donglai's back, but he didn't see it, when He Donglai heard this, his face turned pale.

After Jiang Zhonglin saw it, he was immediately overjoyed, and by mistake, maybe this case was going to be solved in his own hands? He slapped the startled wood suddenly, "He Donglai, the official will ask you again, where were you on the third night of the first month?" What was done? ”

He Donglai pursed his lips, just like a clam shell, no matter what punishment Jiang Zhonglin was subjected to, he just didn't say it.
