However, Li Moyi is not clueless, according to his inference, Zhang is an extremely strict person, after all, he is a person who has practiced martial arts, since he has made full preparations for going out, he even changed his shoes, but he didn't change his shoes when he came to this bullpen, which shows that she was very anxious at the time, and there must be something in this bullpen that she wants very much!

And after Zhang took things from the cattle pen, she sneaked out at night, and the most likely thing is that someone left her some message here in the cattle pen......

So where can you hide things in this huge bullpen?

This cattle pen is in the sky, without a roof, and must have been specially built for the cattle to bask in the sun.

As soon as Li Mo looked at it, he immediately locked on to the target, which was the small shed in the depths of the cattle pen, because only this small wooden shed could shelter from the rain, and the hidden things would not be damaged by the rain.

However, this small wooden shed is too simple, the wood such as pillars and beams has no hollow and dark grids, and you can see it all at a glance, and the floor is bluestone slabs, and there is nothing peculiar.

Li Mo searched for most of the day, but found nothing, and was so tired that he was sweating profusely, so he had to sit down and sort out his thoughts carefully.

……

……

When I don't have a clue.

A cold wind rose.

Li Mo suddenly felt a biting cold, but at this time, there was a crisp bamboo sound nearby, and when he looked up, there were bamboo skewers hanging around the roof of this small wooden shed, like wind chimes hitting each other, making a crisp sound.

"What is this?"

Lu Buwei didn't think much of it had ever been to this stinking bullpen, so he turned his attention to the girl in the room, and the little girl immediately explained.

"These are all signs that the young lady and the old grandmother went to the temple to ask for back......"

Li Moyi had some understanding of this kind of folk customs, and couldn't help asking: "Are there such rules?" ”

The girl shook her head and said, "There is no other, the young lady said to the old grandmother, if you ask for the first-class sign, you will hang it on the top of this bullpen to make an auspicious ...... The old grandmother seems to be very happy, so every time she asks for a signature, people will hang here......"

When Li Mo heard this, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

Maybe she remembered something, and the girl couldn't help but sigh and said: "Although the young lady doesn't like to come to this bullpen, she will pick some good signatures every time and let the people in the house hang them up, and the young lady is considerate ......."

When Lu Buwei heard this, he was also sad, and couldn't help patting the shoulder of the girl in the room, and the master and servant were also teary-eyed for a while.

Li Mo didn't realize it at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but get excited all of a sudden, and asked the girl in the room: "You just said that these signs were carefully selected by the young lady?" ”

The girl in the room was a little confused, nodded confusedly and said: "Yes, the young lady said, although some of the signs are also signed, but the intention is not good, it is not good to hang up, these signs are all picked out by the young lady with great effort......"

Zhang's effort to pick it out?

There must be something inside!

Li Mo couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and took off all those sticks one after another and lined them up on the stone table.

However, the words on these signatures are very far-fetched, and they are completely incomprehensible on the surface, but they are also ambiguous, so that the people who can easily unsign the signatures can say nonsense in the east, west, north and south, and can make it clear both positive and negative.

……

"No. 1 sign, Zhou Yutian also points to the neighborhood, and he hits the horse Yulin Pond every day."

As soon as Li Mo picked up a stick, he couldn't help but read it out in a whisper, but the girl in the room next to him explained with a little joy.

"This is three months ago, the young lady asked the young master to sign up, hoping that the young master can take the high school ......"

Li Mo picked up another one, marked with a six, and wrote: "Shenmao Nebula is shallow, Feng Ling is handsome and elegant." ”

The girl smiled again and said: "This is the marriage sign that the young lady asked for the little girl of the third uncle, and the third uncle told the little girl that there is a son surnamed Qian in Linxian County, and he is indeed a handsome young man......"

Li Mo suddenly realized that these sticks must contain some kind of information, but he couldn't see the reason for a while, there were too many of these sticks, and it was a little difficult to screen them.

Hearing the girl in the room talking about the origin of these signs like a few treasures, Li Mo couldn't help but be overjoyed, staring at the girl in the room with a smile, and the girl couldn't help but blush.

"Girl, come and look for it, there is something in this sign that you don't recognize."

"Don't you recognize?" The girl in the room couldn't help but look puzzled, but she still followed Li Moyi's instructions and came to the stone table.

She is really familiar with these sticks, picking them one by one, and she can tell the origin and meaning of the sticks, and even remember the specific dates......

After more than half an hour, seeing that the sky was dark, Li Moyi was a little annoyed, and the girl in the room stopped talking, just buried her head in selection. Finally, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, sir, here's a new sign......"

When Li Mo heard this, he couldn't help but be excited, grabbed the stick and looked at it, and it was engraved on it: "The green juice has to be on Liu, and the tree is old and drunk."

It's another ambiguous old routine, but the girl who knows it carefully is that this sign was not available before.

Li Mo looked at the top of the signature one by one, and it was written in cinnabar red, No. 4 signature.

Did the Zhang family come to this stinking cattle pen just for this new sign? Could this sign be some kind of cipher letter to convey information?

If it's a password letter...... So how to decipher......

Li Mo thought quietly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared.

"No. 1 sign, Lin Yutian also clicked on the neighbor...... The first one corresponds to a Lin character, the sixth sign, and the Shenmao Nebula has Song Qian, and the sixth corresponds to a Song character...... No. 4 sign, green juice has to be ...... It's a Liu character ......"

Li Mo lined up all these sticks, and asked Lu Buwei to find a pen and paper, and after a short time, dozens of words were listed on the paper.

But what can just one word convey?

As soon as Li Mo looked at it, these words didn't have much nutrition, and he couldn't see what was going on for a while.

Li Moyi even tried to combine these words, but even with the help of Lu Buwei, a veteran tribute student, he had nothing to gain for a while, and the words were made together, and they couldn't make sense.

Li Moyi also had a headache, thinking that he had found the reason for Zhang's escape, but he was blocked from the truth by these suspected password letters.

Lu Buwei was naturally anxious, if it weren't for Li Moyi's investigation, he wouldn't have known that his wife had prayed for the whole family so many times, let alone these small details in life.

Lu Buwei really cherishes his wife, and these small details seem to make him know his wife again.

For Li Moyi, he also agrees more.

And another reason why he agrees with Li Moyi is that Li Moyi let him participate in it, and similar writing work will reflect the value of his tribute, as if he also has the ability to find out the truth for his wife!

"Sir, seeing that the sky is getting dark, let's put away the slip, and it's not too late to go back to dinner and deliberate."

Li Moyi also knew that he couldn't think of it for a while, so he nodded and said, "It's just like this." ”

The three of them were about to pack up their things and go back to dinner, but at this time, a subordinate hurriedly ran in and said to Lu Buwei: "Young master, there is a bad master outside, saying that there is something to report on the case......

Lu Buwei thought that the people from the governor's mansion would delay, but he didn't expect someone to come so soon, so he immediately said to the man: "Bring him in quickly." ”

The man ran out again, and soon brought in a guard in green clothes and green shoes.

"The villain has seen Lu Gongsheng." Although Lu Buwei lost confidence in the people in the governor's mansion, he still returned the salute and asked the guard, "What is the matter with the guards coming this time?" ”

The guard took out an official document from his arms, handed it to Lu Buwei and said: "The county magistrate has asked the villain to come and send a document to Mr. Lu, and Mrs. Zun's case has been revealed, and the lord has informed Mr. Lu that he will go to the governor's mansion tomorrow to close the case......

"What? Case closed? What the hell is going on? Who is the murderer! "This time, not only Lu Buwei, but also Li Moyi was a little unexpected.

"That's the case, after we returned to the official residence, we sent someone to post the paperwork and catch the person who witnessed the call for help, but at this time, someone came to the door to denounce Liu Zhuang, and the crop farmer Liu Zhuang committed suicide out of fear of crime, and in the suicide note he left, he confessed to the crime of murdering Mrs. Zun, so the case is over."

"Liu Zhuang, this is impossible, he is a farmer, he doesn't know a few words, where can he write a suicide note!" Seeing that he was about to uncover the mystery and see the truth, at this time, such a sudden appearance came, and Li Moyi couldn't sit still.

The guard said in a mocking tone, "What? Could it be that the people in our entire governor's mansion are not as good as you? In this world, you are the smartest kid, and everyone else is stupid? Now that there is evidence, the case should be closed, how can you question it at all! ”

When Lu Buwei heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and muttered to himself: "After checking for a long time, I never thought that it was this natural dog, so the so-called witnesses and people who asked for help were all made up by this dog who had suffered a thousand cuts......"

Lu Buwei was still scolding, but Li Moyi's mind was racing, and he muttered to himself: "Liu Zhuang...... Liu Zhuang...... Liu...... Liu! ”

Li Moyi seemed to have caught something, and immediately ran back to the bullpen and grabbed the new sign just now, and what was decrypted on the sign was not the word Liu......

Looking further at the paper, he finally found the common denominator of the words.

Most of the characters in it, such as Lin, Song, Zhou, and Liu, are all human surnames.

Could it be that the Liu on this new sign is alluding to Liu Zhuang? But what secrets does this crop farmer have with the Zhang family?

Li Mo had a large number of clues pouring out of his mind, as messy as a spider's web, but it seemed that he could sort them all out with a single flick, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Moyi shook his head vigorously, put down these many clues for the time being, and grabbed a stick, this girl is also a careful person, and these sticks were arranged in chronological order before.

Li Moyi took the sign and asked the girl who was in the room on the side, "When is this sign?" ”

The girl in the room glanced at it, recalled it a little, and replied: "It was the fifteenth ...... last month."

Li Mo glanced at it, and the sign read: "Where do you not meet at the end of the world, you only have my breath." ”

"The twelfth sign is my word...... I...... Wu! ”

Li Moyi seemed to have grasped the key, and asked the guard, "Was there a murder in the middle of last month?" The deceased is surnamed Wu! ”

The guard was shocked by Li Moyi's aura, recalled it, and stammered, "There is no murder...... We don't have anyone surnamed Wu in this realm......"

Li Moyi seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, but he was still not discouraged, grabbed a skewer again, asked the girl in the room, and turned to the guards and said, "Was there a person surnamed Su who was victimized half a year ago?" ”

"It happened half a year ago...... I'm not a priest, where do I remember so much......"

Li Mo couldn't help but glared at the guard fiercely.

The guard was originally a lowly position, and I saw that this person didn't even pay attention to the priest, but after he became stronger, the guard became honest.

Li Mo couldn't ask anything, and was thinking about going to the local governor's mansion to check it, but at this time, the guard patted his head and said.

"Oh, I remembered, there was really no deceased surnamed Wu, but the Fan Ju family in Xingcang County has a daughter named Aunt Wu, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she disappeared in the middle of last month, and she hasn't been found until now......"

Li Mo's heart was immediately shocked, looking at the dense piece of paper, as if he had dug up a treasure mountain, this time it was clearly a big case, today is not only to the local governor's residence, but I am afraid that even Naxingcang County will have to go on a trip!

Lu Buwei saw that Li Mo's eyes were burning, and he couldn't help asking, "Sir, sir?" ”

Li Moyi came back to his senses at this time, and he couldn't bear to say it on the spot, so he just said to him: "It's okay, tomorrow after I finish my own affairs, I will accompany you to the governor's mansion." ”

The guard looked at Li Moyi, muttered something in a low voice, and withdrew.

……

……

Lu Buwei took Li Moyi out of the bullpen, and at this time, on the outer wall of the bullpen, a black shadow flashed quickly, as if it was an illusion.

……

Night soon fell into darkness.

On the eve of a heavy rain, a storm brewed in the dark clouds, and it did not come to the world for a long time.

Li Mo thought about the case, this case was really complicated, and he was not in the mood to eat, and after hastily filling his stomach, Lu Buwei brought him to the guest room.

The guest room is not big, but it is very clean, Lu Buwei is a tribute student, and there are a lot of books in the room, Li Mo couldn't help but flip through it, there are a few good books in it.

These books are close to life, and they are the best reading materials to understand the local social atmosphere, Li Moyi is very interested in this miscellaneous book, and he sits under the oil lamp and reads the book.

However, not long after he sat down, his head was groggy, sweating profusely, and his vision was blurred......

Li Moyi is very clear about his physical condition, since he has that true power in his body, he has never had any minor illness, and at this time, he suddenly has such symptoms, there is only one explanation, he is afraid that he has eaten something unclean......

This uncleanness does not mean that the food is not clean, but that someone has done something in his food......

Sure enough, the effect of this drug kicked in, and Li Mo couldn't sit still, and just as he was about to shout loudly, he fell on the table......

This feeling is really uncomfortable, as if the whole body is imprisoned, but the whole person is half asleep and half awake, but the body is out of control, and he can't even open his eyelids, but he can sense the movement and sound of the outside world in a trance.

……

……

In the confusion, I don't know how long it has been.

As soon as Li Mo heard all kinds of sounds, it was like listening to others shouting under the water, although it was vague, it was real.

As soon as Li Mo noticed that someone was dragging him, his back rubbed against the floor, it was very painful, but he couldn't scream, the cold rain hit his body, he was very sober, but he couldn't open his eyelids, and he couldn't move his hands and feet.

……

This continued like this for a while, and Li Mo felt two stinky fingers rudely stir into his mouth, picking at his throat.

"Gross-"

Li Moyi finally couldn't help but vomit.

Because of this vomiting, Li Moyi finally woke up, but found that he was sitting against a pillar, it had begun to rain outside, and the little fat man was looking disgusted, wiping the saliva on his fingers on Li Moyi's body.

"Little fatty, why are you here?" Li Mo couldn't help but be puzzled, looked around, and found that Ah Tie'er was also here, and there were seven or eight orphans with him, these children were solemnly silent, they didn't speak, but gasped for breath.

"Ah Tie'er said that someone wants to harm you, so we came to save you......"

After a pause, the little fat man continued: "Didn't you ask us to look for that suspect, that person lives nearby, Xia Laosi who came upstairs told us, because that person once lived in Junlai Tower for two days, and asked him to find a boat to go to sea......"

"You got here?" Li Mo couldn't help but be shocked, although his head was still a little dizzy, he still stood up, and at this time he found that Ah Tie'er's arm was injured.

Although these wandering orphans are tenacious and ruthless, they are only teenage children in the end, and the murderer can harm the Zhang family, who knows martial arts, which shows that his skills are extraordinary, and it can be imagined how dangerous these children were just now......

Thinking of this, Li Moyi couldn't help but feel comfortable for a while, although Ah Tie'er was lukewarm to him, but at the critical moment, he still came to help him.

"Are you alright? Let me see. Li Mo walked over, grabbed Ah Tie'er's hand, and was about to help him check his injury, but Ah Tie'er quickly retracted as if he had been electrocuted, and stared at Li Moyi with some coldness.

"Investigate your case well, it's only serious to catch the real murderer, and besides, the few taels of silver you gave are just money to find someone, and the money to save your life is counted separately!"

Although Ah Tie'er's tone was very cold, Li Mo understood in his heart, smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, that murderer has not been free for a few days." ”

As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, he asked the little fat man, "Where did that person go?" Have you ever reported the crime? ”

The little fat man pursed his lips and said: "The thief who wants to harm you is very slippery, he went out over the wall, don't ask me if you report the case or anything, we are all guilty bodies, if there is anything to solve by ourselves, whoever reports the case is the grandson!" ”

Li Moyi couldn't laugh or cry, but after thinking about it, these children who were begging for a living in the bottom society of Anqiu Town were all wandering in the gray area, and it was natural for them to reject the people of the governor's mansion.

"Leave the rest to me, and help Tie'er bandage it." Li Mo tore off half of his sleeve and handed it to the little fat man.

The clothes Li Mo wears are very ordinary, they are cotton and linen coarse cloth worn by most ordinary people.

This cloth is best used to bandage and stop bleeding.

The little fat man took the fabric, seemed to think of something again, and said to Li Moyi: "By the way, although we didn't report the case, but the poor and sour Lu Gongsheng was frightened, and I guess he should have reported the case......"

As soon as these words fell, Gongsheng Lu Buwei and his family came over with lanterns, and said to Li Moyi with a nervous face: "Sir, are you okay?" ”

Lu Buwei is a powerless chicken, and the family has no money to hire a boxer in the hospital, and the people around him are carrying a kitchen knife, and his body is shaking like sifting chaff, and his courage is not as good as this group of prodigal children.

Li Moyi shook his head, saying that there was no big problem, seeing that the drizzle in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, Li Mo didn't have time to think about it, for fear that the rain would wash away the traces of the crime scene, so he hurried over to investigate.

……

……

As soon as they reached the wall, a chaotic pace of footsteps and shouting came from outside, and the local guards were just in time to rush over so quickly.

"Where's the murderer!"

The first person had a rough voice, and he heard his voice before he saw it, how could it be like thunder, Li Mo turned his head to take a look, but he saw a middle-aged man with a short and fat body, who felt a little like a toad, although his body was small, his voice was very loud.

"Companion Hall, I'm tired." Lu Buwei stepped forward and thanked the local escort and the three guards beside him.

Li Mo sniffed it, these people all had a strong smell of alcohol, and they thought they should be drinking, so they didn't fall asleep, no wonder they came so quickly.

The accompanying adult was very impatient, seeing Ah Tie'er and the others, his face was even more bored, Lu Buwei was present, so he didn't have a seizure, just talked with Lu Buwei and learned about the scene.

Li Mo ignored this person and hurried to the edge of the courtyard wall.

Soon a series of footprints were found, although the drizzle had made a lot of pittings on the footprints, but the traces were still very clear.

Li Mo followed the footprints for a while, and then suddenly fell to the ground, supported himself with his hands, and stood up again.

Then he hunched over, rushed out like a tiger, stepped on the wall with both feet, and climbed the wall.

The accompanying hall was talking to Lu Buwei, and when he saw such movements, he couldn't help shouting: "Who are you, you dare to come here nonsense!" Destroyed the footprints at the scene, I'll wait to track down the thief, and if I don't stop, I'll arrest you and go back for trial! ”

The accompanying adults shouted heartlessly, but Ah Tie'er and Little Fat and other children were a little stunned at this time.

Because they could see it clearly, Li Moyi's series of actions just now were almost exactly the same as when the suspect fled.

It's as if Li Mo saw the suspect flee with his own eyes!

Li Moyi stayed on the wall for a moment, thought about it, and jumped down, at this time, the hall master and the three guards had already surrounded Li Moyi, their faces full of unkindness.

Lu Buwei hurriedly came over to play a round and said, "Lord Companion, this is ...... It's a guest at my house...... Tonight the thief came into the house, and this gentleman is the victim......"

Lu Buwei didn't dare to reveal Li Moyi's identity, as long as he wasn't a fool, who would say in front of the court to investigate the case that he had invited someone who didn't know the origin to investigate the case for his wife, didn't this slap the face of the hall adult?

Li Mo arched his hand slightly: "The companion hall came just in time, please take the guards to the west to pursue, this female thief is about six feet long, slender in shape, good at martial arts, her left leg is injured, she should not be able to run far." ”

When the little fat man heard this, he couldn't help but take a step forward and wanted to open his mouth, but he was stopped by Ah Tie'er and shook his head at him, so the little fat man had to give up.

The companion stared at Li Mo for a moment, and then said slowly: "You are the one who even the master of the priest dares to contradict?" ”

Li Moyi frowned slightly, he didn't want to dwell on this issue, so as not to miss the best opportunity to hunt down, from this point of view, the companion hall in this realm is afraid that he is also a person who is not interested in investigating the case.

"I didn't contradict anyone, I just discussed with the priest how he behaved when he was drowning."

When the attendant heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay! Balls! ”

When Li Mo saw this, he didn't know whether he was sincere or false, and estimated that the accompanying hall had a grudge with the secretary.

The attendant raised his head slightly and said, "Sir, rest in peace, and look at our ability to catch people!" ”

After saying this, the attendant took the three guards and left in a hurry.

……

……
