Chapter Thirty-Eight: Earrings Are a Clue
In one room, a conversation between the two was heard.
"Did you handle it? They won't find out, will they? A woman said tremblingly, her eyes still hiding.
"What are you afraid of! I killed that guy right then, who would know? The man who spoke lifted the curtain and stepped out of the shadows, staring at the woman with an eerie smile.
"But I'm still a little worried, the new prefect is here, will this matter be investigated?"
"What's the difference between the newcomers and the previous ones, it's not all corrupt people, even if this matter is finally revealed, you and I will not escape fate."
"I said I'll do it when I go home, you just want to be in that small alley, but you were seen, are you really so anxious?"
The woman said with a slight cry, tears already lingering in her eyes.
"If it weren't for your good looks, how could I be so anxious, hasn't that kid been killed by me, are you still worried about what to do, go back and do your own thing, don't bother me if it's okay!"
"But if something goes wrong, what about my innocence and your reputation?"
The woman still felt scared, she couldn't believe that the man in front of her would solve the matter perfectly.
"Don't forget who I am, just those who are officials, it's easy to use this." Before he finished speaking, the man took out a gold bar from his arms, and Superwoman's eyes shook it.
The woman smiled when she saw it, and she was about to get up and leave, and when she left, she thought in her heart: Since he is an official, he has so little money every year, how can he not be moved in the face of this "thing"?
And at this moment, the two people in the embroidery alley have been eating behind closed doors, but there is no way.
After Li Xiaoran and Xuanyuan Qinghe listened to the words of the shopkeeper, they immediately went to Embroidery Lane, and when they asked people in the alley, no one paid attention, and they didn't know what to ask, which made people feel incomprehensible.
"There's nothing wrong with the way we're asking, right? Could it be that my question is wrong? Xuanyuan Qinghe frowned tightly and said with a puzzled expression.
"Did you ask that?" Li Xiaoran didn't want to say anything, because Xuanyuan Qinghe asked like this.
"Hello, do you know that there are dead people here? Do you know who killed it? Did You Know? ”
If this passer-by is asked like this, this will not be directly startled, but Xuanyuan Qinghe still has the tone of the interrogator to ask, and it is thankful to be able to get a response.
"There aren't many people in this small alley, only a few households, and I asked before, but no one saw anything wrong, and then there was a pavilion there, so there was really nothing to check."
Xuanyuan Qinghe said helplessly, thinking that after listening to the words of the shopkeeper, there would be new clues that could be checked at a glance, but he didn't expect that now, the clues were broken, and he had to start from scratch again.
The small pavilion in the alley is closed on three sides, and one is external, which has no function of viewing the scenery and can only be used to avoid the rain.
"This pavilion is in this small alley, it should only be used to shelter from the rain, ah, alas, it seems that the clue is broken, there is nothing to check!"
Xuanyuan Qinghe, you have completely given up, and lie directly in the pavilion, ready to rest, and shouted to Li Xiaoran: "Come, come and help me beat my legs, my legs are almost tired and fall apart." ”
Li Xiaoran immediately glanced at a white eye, and it was definitely the whitest eye ever, but he was still ready to go over and beat Xuanyuan Qinghe's legs.
"Hey, your strength is good, you usually stay in the house, and it seems that you have practiced." Xuanyuan Qinghe said pleasantly, humming a tune.
Li Xiaoran smiled, but he was thinking in his heart: When I was an online writer in the past, I stayed up all night coding words all day long, and I don't know how many illnesses I fell into, so I practiced these techniques.
Xuanyuan Qinghe was already very comfortable at this time, and there was a beautiful woman beating her legs beside her, like a fairyland, which was really comfortable.
But then, with a "bang", Xuanyuan Qinghe suddenly fell from the chair and smashed directly to the ground, and his face hit the ground first.
Xuanyuan Qinghe immediately jumped up, took a few breaths, pretended to be fake, and said casually: "You know, this seat is quite slippery, it was an accident just now, you don't think I fell down, right?" ”
Li Xiaoran shook his head and said with a smile: "I think you just fell, does your face hurt, why don't I rub it for you?" ”
Xuanyuan Qinghe's face is now hot and painful, not because of Li Xiaoran's sarcasm, but because he fell just now, it really hurts.
"When I fell to the ground just now, I seemed to see something glowing, so I'll look for it." Xuanyuan Qinghe felt a little embarrassed, and immediately lay on the ground to find it.
"It's really fake, you don't have to be embarrassed by the color, can you fight so hard?" Li Xiaoran looked incredulous, thinking that this was just a way for Xuanyuan Qinghe to hide his embarrassment.
"Hey, I've found it now, look." Xuanyuan Qinghe handed the found items to Li Xiaoran's eyes. Only then did Li Xiaoran believe that Xuanyuan Qinghe was not hiding his embarrassment, but was really looking for something.
"It's an earring, you girls should know better." As he spoke, Xuanyuan Qinghe handed this earring-like thing to Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran took it and took a closer look, this is indeed an earring, and it is also a valuable earring, which is inlaid with jadeite, and there is also gold on the side, which is worth a lot of money.
"Anyway, how can there be such an expensive earring? It can't have anything to do with that murder, right? Li Xiaoran suddenly thought and asked Xuanyuan Qinghe.
"Take him back, give it to Cui Qi, and let him check it out in the jewelry store in the city, this kind of expensive earrings should be very few people."
Xuanyuan Qinghe vaguely felt that this earring might be the key to solving the case, and decided to keep it for review.
"Sure enough, after a day of work, I was quite tired, and before I knew it, it was getting dark, let's go back to the yamen first and see if they have any results, how about it?"
Xuanyuan Qinghe took Li Xiaoran's hand and went back, Li Xiaoran was in a trance in his heart, what does this hand mean?
But Li Xiaoran wanted to break free, Xuanyuan Qinghe just said domineeringly: "The more you resist, the more excited I become, what if you can get lost at such a young age, it's better for me to pull you." ”
Li Xiaoran was stunned, this tone, this tone, isn't that the kind of president only say? It was unbelievable that he would say it in the mouth of the Xuanyuan Qinghe.
The moon crept up into the sky, and it gradually became dark, and although the houses hung their lanterns, they could not resist the erosion of the darkness.
Fortunately, Li Xiaoran and the others returned to the yamen ahead of schedule and were not eroded by this kind of darkness from the night.
"I said, why haven't you come back yet? It's been a long time since we've been back, and we haven't seen a single figure on the adult's side, so we won't get lost. ”
Chen Wei said intermittently, because there was still chewed food in his mouth that he hadn't swallowed, as for why this was so, because everyone was eating hot pot together.
"I don't know if I'll be back this year, let's wait while eating, what about my meat? Who's got my flesh between them! ”
Cui Qi frantically picked up the meat in the hot pot with chopsticks, stirred and stirred, but found that a piece of meat was gone, and roared to everyone.
Then looking at everyone with a face, Song Yong put down the chopsticks directly, as a more Sven person, he didn't eat much at all.
Shen Luo continued to eat again with an expressionless face, without being disturbed at all, but the other person, Chen Wei's bowl of meat in the bowl came out, covering his face with his left hand, as if to say that it was not me.
"Chen Wei, do you have so much jerky? Are we not eating? You're too selfish, aren't you? ”
Cui Qi was already gearing up, stood up and prepared to start a life-and-death battle with Chen Wei.
At this time, the prefect's yamen was pushed open, Li Xiaoran and Xuanyuan Qinghe appeared in front of everyone, Li Xiaoran immediately greeted him obediently, but Xuanyuan Qinghe's face turned black directly.
"You are... Eating hot pot? "Xuanyuan Qinghe couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes, we were working desperately outside, and you group of people were actually eating hot pot, it was a loss of conscience.
The two who were about to start fighting also stopped, and they didn't know how to explain for a while, but in the face of this embarrassing situation, they were still broken by Shen Luo.
Shen Luo raised his head and beckoned to Li Xiaoran and Xuanyuan Xuanyuan Qinghe, and said lightly: "We still have a little left, do you want to eat?" ”
Xuanyuan Qinghe just showed a smile, and immediately ran over and sat down, and saw that a bowl was full of meat, and he ate most of it directly when he picked it up, and made a four-finger thumb gesture with his left hand.
Chen Wei is stupid, isn't he eating my meat? I haven't eaten it myself, this... Iniquity! Heartache thought.
"But then again, did you get anything out of the day?" Li Xiaoran asked everyone, hoping to gain something.
"From the moment we received the mission, we searched everywhere and found nothing unexpected." Chen Wei was no longer immersed in the pain of not having meat to eat, but said with a little sadness.
"We found an earring nearby, it's this earring, I'll give it to you, you can have someone check it tomorrow, who are these earrings?"
Li Xiaoran handed the earrings from the pavilion to Cui Qi, and Cui Qi took them and looked at them carefully, and then said in surprise:
"These earrings should only be available to a very small number of people, they are so extravagant!"
"That's right, I just don't understand it now, why a person who fights a shift dies for no reason, check the people he knows, is there anything to gain?"
Li Xiaoran always felt that he had ignored something, and still asked unwillingly, wanting to get some information from it.
"The person who beat the watch is called Lin Yuan, there is really nothing to talk about, this is an ordinary person, how did he get involved in this, I don't know!" Chen Wei responded, and he also felt very helpless.
"That is, there are no clues, now I can only rely on this earring, I hope there are any new clues, if there is no even this, it is estimated that it will become a kind of unsolved case."
Xuanyuan Qinghe said unlovingly, if the first case here is not handled, it will really be dead.
