Chapter 468: Catch the Murderer
Why did you live here for a few days, and Li Li's little brain was inflexible? ”
Xiao Li pouted, pretending to be disgusted: "It's not because of you." ”
However, Hui Shangyi did not go to the government to seek consent, but waited until the dead of night, while everyone was falling asleep, and quietly took Xiao Li to conduct door-to-door clues for the stolen families, of course, especially the injured villagers' homes to conduct key investigations.
In the end, when the sky turned white, the two returned home, integrated and screened the clues they had collected, and came to a common denominator, that is, there would be clues similar to the habits of military personnel at the scene.
For this clue, Hui Shangyi confirmed it with his years of experience in leading soldiers, and finally concluded that this matter was indeed done by the person who was a soldier.
"Soldiers?" Xiao Li was puzzled, and didn't understand what happened to make a soldier do such a thing of rooster and dog theft.
Hui Shangyi nodded, seeing Xiao Li's doubts, and said, "Regarding the details, we still have to wait until the murderer is caught to find out a thing or two." ”
"So, what are your plans?" As soon as Xiao Li heard Hui Shangyi's words, he knew that he had a plan in his heart.
Looking at Xiao Li's clever appearance, Hui Shangyi smiled and said, "Then you still need the admiration and cooperation of the lady." ”
"Okay." Xiao Li nodded his head without hesitation and asked Hui Shangyi about the specific arrangements again.
Subsequently, Hui Shangyi attached his ear and informed Xiao Li of his plan.
"That's it......" After Xiao Li understood, he looked at the yellowish morning light outside the house and said, "It seems that we can only wait for tonight." ”
"That's right." Hui Shangyi said, picked up Xiao Li horizontally, and walked inside: "Then let's rest first!" Recharge your energy to achieve your goals. ”
Xiao Li exclaimed, slapped Hui Shangyi angrily, and retorted: "your recuperation!" If the goal can be achieved if you really cultivate your spirit and spirit, then where are there so many losers? ”
Hui Shangyi has always doted on his wife, so naturally he would not quarrel with Xiao Li over such a trivial matter, laughed twice, and went to rest with Xiao Li, no matter how Xiao Li struggled, he was as steady as a bell.
In the end, Xiao Li rolled his eyes helplessly and muttered: "I don't know how to wash up and go to bed again, it's really dirty!" ”
As the twilight outside dissipated, the night fell as scheduled, and Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi went out.
"Hui Shangyi, do you have a big grasp?" Following behind Hui Shangyi, Xiao Li asked with some concern.
"Is the lady afraid of startling the snake?" Hui Shangyi, who saw through Xiao Li's thoughts at a glance, asked rhetorically.
Xiao Li was also frank and directly affirmed: "Yes, in the end, I'm still worried that the two of us will not help." ”
"Don't worry." As soon as Hui Shangyi's words were finished, he heard a slight movement, and hurriedly found a nearby place to hide, and took Xiao Li to hide.
Xiao Li's heart jumped suddenly, nervous and excited. Grabbing Hui Shangyi's fingers subconsciously force, he accidentally embedded in the skin of Hui Shangyi's arm. When I reacted, I regretted it in my heart.
And Hui Shangyi never made the slightest sound, for fear of alarming the thief who was committing the crime.
Xiao Li was in a hurry, but he didn't dare to move without permission, so he could only obediently nest in the arms given by Hui Shangyi, looking at his wounds worriedly.
"Ahh There are thieves, there are thieves! ”
The sudden screams not only frightened the thief, but also alerted Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi.
However, a heart-pounding scene happened at this time. I saw that the thief picked up the kitchen knife in his hand and wanted to cut it at the head of the eldest sister who was calling.
Seeing this, Hui Shangyi immediately kicked the stone at his feet and went straight to the direction of the thief's wrist, but fortunately, the kitchen knife fell in response, and the thief ran away in panic without causing a second injury to the eldest sister. And the eldest sister had fainted in fright, lying motionless on the ground.
Xiao Li wanted to go out to take care of the fainting eldest sister, but was stopped by Hui Shangyi: "No, her exclamation has obviously alarmed the neighbors, if you pass at this moment, you are undoubtedly adding suspicion to yourself." Our first goal now is to chase down the escaped thief. ”
Regarding Hui Shangyi's words, Xiao Li couldn't agree anymore, and blamed himself for his carelessness: "Yes, yes, you are right." According to the place where you and I live, it is far away, and where can you hear the cry for help. If you appear at the first scene at this time, it is indeed inappropriate. ”
Hui Shangyi smiled quickly and patted Xiao Li's head, "The lady has become smart again, not bad." ”
At this moment, Xiao Li naturally didn't pursue Hui Shangyi's ridicule of him, not to mention that he unconsciously hurt him, so he wouldn't act arrogantly.
"Okay, let's go after it, don't run away for a while." Realizing that he and Hui Shangyi were still standing in place and chatting, Xiao Li urged.
Hui Shangyi was not worried at all, because he had already prepared. Compared with Xiao Li, he is unhurried, calm and calm.
However, no matter how good Xiao Li's patience is, he can't stand Hui Shangyi's leisurely stroll.
"Hui Shangyi, what kind of moth are you?" Xiao Li turned back, walked in front of Hui Shangyi, and said angrily: "It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry to die a eunuch." You say, did you leave something behind? ”
Hui Shangyi smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't say, don't say." ”
"That's it! If you don't say it, I'll go find it myself and take my leave!" Xiao Li finished angrily and ran away.
Seeing this, Hui Shangyi didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore, and immediately caught up with Xiao Li: "Lady, lady, don't, I'll take you there for my husband." ”
"Hmph, wouldn't it be nice to do this earlier, I have to waste this girl's physical strength."
Hearing this, Hui Shangyi couldn't cry or laugh, and could only say that his daughter-in-law was too cute.
Sure enough, according to the habits of people who are soldiers as Hui Shangyi said, the thief is really in a secret but suitable place for survival.
When Xiao Li saw someone, he wanted to step forward to catch him, but was stopped by Hui Shangyi: "Don't, Li Li, wait." ”
"What are you waiting for?" Xiao Li was puzzled and asked with a frown.
Hui Shangyi did not answer. It's just a matter of two sentences, Hui Shangyi said that the time had come, settled Xiao Li in a safe place, and jumped out by himself, so fast that he could defeat the enemy with one move.
There is no room for the thief to react, and it has been firmly restrained by Hui Shangyi. Xiao Li had to sigh at Hui Shangyi's skills, clapped his hands and walked out of the hideout.
"Sure enough, it's General Hui, and his skills are extraordinary! Extraordinary! ”
Seeing his daughter-in-law pretending to speak like this, Hui Shangyi was really helpless.
And the thief saw the interaction between the two, and suddenly broke away and fled, but fortunately, Hui Shangyi reacted quickly and caught the person again.
Xiao Li saw the level of restlessness of the thief, walked over with a serious face, and said, "You little thief, you don't admit defeat very much!" ”
As he spoke, he lifted the cloak that the thief used to cover his face, and what appeared in front of him was a young face. Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi couldn't help but be shocked by this.
Seeing that his true face was exposed, the thief actually gave up resistance and chose to surrender.
Thinking that the theft and wounding in the past few days were done by a child, Xiao Li was even more surprised, so he asked the thief a lot. And the thief unexpectedly patiently explained the situation one by one.
Therefore, Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi finally got such a result: the thief in front of them who committed a lot of crimes was an eleven-year-old boy named Xiao Fan, a ghost soldier trained by Dugu Yin, who escaped without permission because he could not bear the high-intensity training. As for stealing, it is naturally because he has no life skills and can only rely on stealing at night to survive.
"Xiaofan, then why do you want to hurt people?"
After listening to the little boy's detailed account of his difficult journey, Xiao Li still couldn't figure out why he would do such a thing as hurting someone. Even if he is discovered in the process of stealing, according to his skills, he can get out safely, so why hurt the villagers?
Asked this, Xiao Fan began to tremble, and did not say a complete sentence for a long time.
Hui Shangyi had always observed the changes in Xiao Fan's expression, and now he noticed the resistance between his eyebrows, and he already had a guess in his heart. patted Xiao Li's hand and signaled him not to force Xiao Fan and let him come.
Sighing, Xiao Li handed over the job of 'interrogation' to Hui Shangyi, and stepped aside to digest what he had just gotten.
"Xiaofan, don't be afraid, you have something to tell your big brother." Hui Shangyi tried his best to be pleasant, so that the little boy let go of his vigilance and fear.
Sure enough, listening to what Hui Shangyi said, and then looking at his sincere look, the little boy gradually stopped trembling.
During this period, Hui Shangyi never urged or asked, but quietly waited until Xiaofan completely calmed down before speaking.
"How? Is it better? ”
Xiao Fan nodded, and did not immediately answer the question Xiao Li asked before, but said, "Big brother, you are so good." ”
Hui Shangyi didn't expect him to receive a good guy card even though he didn't do anything, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Xiao Fan looked in the direction of Xiao Li. Xiao Li noticed his gaze and looked over as well. Then Xiao Fan beckoned to Xiao Li.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Li walked over and asked the little boy, "Do you have anything to say to your sister?" ”
Xiao Fan nodded and began to explain the reason why he would hurt people.
After listening to Xiao Fan's narration, he would never have thought that it was because of Dugu Yin's abuse of them when he was training ghost soldiers that caused Xiao Fan's psychological trauma, so he would react in a state of stress.
Xiao Li couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately jumped like thunder: "This Dugu Yin, it's really too much!" How can you do such a unconscionable thing to a child! ”
Seeing this, Hui Shangyi hurriedly appeased his daughter-in-law first.
In the end, Xiao Li thought about it, but after all, he was moved by compassion and decided to leave the little boy behind, neither handing it over to the government nor informing the villagers.
And although Hui Shangyi sympathized with Xiao Fan, he was still worried about whether this little boy would be a spy of the enemy country, because he learned that he and Xiao Li were living in seclusion here.
Xiao Li understood Hui Shangyi's worries, but she still felt that this little boy was too pitiful, and now that the matter had alarmed the government, if she continued to raise the mountain, she might not survive for a few days.
