The old trees standing still, the big dogs that disappeared, the dim streets, the colorful beads of streamers, at this moment, Mrs. Xu looked at the environment and felt the atmosphere, and always felt that something was wrong.

But that hairpin has been with her for many years.

And the flowing beads inlaid on the hairpin are also her beloved things.

Look up again and see the bare poplar tree, without a single leaf, and it doesn't look like it's dangerous.

The colored bead silver hairpin is in front of you, you can pick it up by bending down, and then walk all the way home, comb your messy hair, calm down, sleep well, and then find a way to deal with Jiang Xiaomei.

You can no longer let this little concubine run rampant in the Xu family and challenge her authority.

The head of the Xu family has withered, so she, the eldest lady, must come forward to preside over the family rules.

Mrs. Xu made up her mind, walked under the poplar tree, and bent down to pick up the silver hairpin.

Open your mouth to blow away the floating dust, and then wipe it with a handkerchief, and the flowing color beads will shine again.

With the joy of regain, Mrs. Xu looked up and just wanted to put the hairpin on her head, when she suddenly found two branches with branches branched like sharp claws, and stretched straight over.

Before the screams could be uttered, the claws were already in the throat.

Before she could react, the branch tightened and pulled, her feet instantly left the ground, and before she flew upside down to the dark tree hole, she finally saw the murderer - Jiang Xiaomei wearing the clothes of the shopkeeper Xu.

……

The figure of the shopkeeper Xu is the kind of short and concise type.

Jiang Xiaomei is wearing his clothes, although she is a little fat, but if she just looks at her figure, she is not a person with particularly bright eyes, and she can't tell it at all.

Jiang Xiaomei came out from behind the mound and stood under the poplar tree, squatting beside the big yellow dog.

Mrs. Xu's two feet have all been submerged in the tree hole.

Jiang Xiaomei was very nervous at this time, holding the dog's head with her hand, lest the old tree dislike Mrs. Xu and spit out the person from the tree hole if she didn't have an appetite for it.

In the hollow of the tree, there was soon a sound of tearing and swallowing.

The two stretched out their arms, but they couldn't hold the body of the tree, and suddenly shook, and the big yellow dog stared at the hole in the tree, sticking out his tongue and dripping saliva, it seemed that he wanted to go up and share a piece of meat to eat.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of water flowing under his feet.

Jiang Xiaomei looked down and saw that the roots of the old tree exposed on the ground had turned red.

Inside the roots, it looked like human blood was flowing through it.

With a pop, the tree hole was indigestion, and something spit out, which was Mrs. Xu's silver hairpin.

Jiang Xiaomei patted the dog's head, and the big yellow dog ran over in a few steps and bit the silver hairpin in his mouth.

Jiang Xiaomei pointed in a direction, the big yellow dog walked away with the silver hairpin in her mouth, and she quietly walked out of a distance, picked up a few small stones, threw them one by one, and smashed them into the window of the grocery store.

……

The grocery store owner slept in the store, opening the window to take a look through the dim light.

A figure in a flowered robe, with his back to the window, bowed his head and walked away.

"Shopkeeper Xu, this dog thing, during this time, Lord Wen was vigorous and strict in investigation, in order to avoid the limelight, he didn't dare to wander around during the day, but at night he came out to find a pastime and smashed Lao Tzu's window!"

The grocery store owner scolded and scolded, but he didn't dare to go out and chase after him.

As soon as the bun shop had an accident, who knows if there is an unresolved soul of the owner of the bun shop.

Second, the shopkeeper Xu has martial arts, and he meets on a narrow road, and ordinary people are not his opponents.

……

In the middle of the night, Shopkeeper Xu didn't wait for the eldest lady to come, and went to the eldest lady's mother's house to inquire.

Before dawn, the shopkeeper Xu returned to Xu's mansion, hurriedly found Jiang Xiaomei, and closed the door.

"Little sister, something is wrong! Ma Qianli, that old thief, did something to our family! ”

Shopkeeper Xu used to be prosperous in Pengzhou Mansion, but now that the eldest lady is missing, she doesn't even have anyone to talk to, so she can only come to Jiang Xiaomei and vent her fear and anger.

A lot of insider information was also revealed by him and Pan.

“…… In order for our family to survive, I had to kill the stewards of those gambling stalls, I heard that last night, the corpses were recognized by the bitter master, and it is estimated that I will soon be found on my head. ”

"After all, no one can do it, and everything will leave no traces......"

"In order to avoid suspicion before, it was your eldest sister who sent gold and silver to Mafu in the name of visiting Mrs. Ma...... It must have been Ma Qianli who killed her at night in order to kill her! ”

"Ma Qianli is so ruthless, it's my turn next!"

Shopkeeper Xu was originally just a splash, not a person who was careful to do big things, otherwise he would not have inserted a rod and ruined Duan Chu's marriage.

Before Mrs. Xu was here, she could give him ideas, but now as soon as Mrs. Xu dies, he will be blind.

He would never have thought that these heart-wrenching words had become his own talisman.

"The head of the house, although we don't usually deal with each other, but when disaster comes, I won't fly alone, you are my husband, I can bully you, but others can't bully!"

"Boss, now you shouldn't show up, you wait at home, I'll go to Mafu to negotiate!"

"After talking, discuss countermeasures together; If you can't talk about it, then the jade will be burned! ”

After Jiang Xiaomei finished speaking, she went out with scissors.

Shopkeeper Xu has suffered a lot from Jiang Xiaomei recently, and feels that with her strong personality and the backbone of not being afraid of death, she should be able to force Ma Qianli to make concessions, so he didn't stop it.

……

In the morning, Duan Chu stretched his waist and rinsed his face in the courtyard, and the beads suddenly beckoned to him.

Duan Chu walked to the gate, and Zhuzi pointed to something on the ground.

"I seem to know this hairpin...... "Duan Chu scratched his head and didn't think about it.

"Remember last night, when you raised your hand to hit my woman? She has this hairpin on her head, and there is blood stained on the hairpin, and it seems that she will not end well! What's going on here? ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Zi thought about it again, and quickly came to a conclusion:

"Maybe someone killed her at night, threw the hairpin at our door, and planted it for us!"

Wen Chaotian often said that human life is a matter of heaven.

Hearing Zhuzi say this, Duan Chu immediately took action.

He didn't even eat the breakfast he had prepared, wrapped the hairpin in a cloth, and hurried to find the cattle to inspect it.

Now that he is cooperating happily with Niu Patrol, he can't imagine that solving the case is Ma Qianli's responsibility.

Before this kind of thing has no eyebrows, it can't disturb Wen Chaotian.

Soon, on the cross street of Pengzhou Mansion, the cattle inspector carried a horsewhip and led a team of patrol soldiers to knock on the door from door to door, blocking passers-by to investigate.

"Dog, do you recognize this thing?" The cattle inspector pointed to the hairpin in the soldier's hand and asked.

The farmer pulling the dung cart trembled: "Lord Huiniu, the villain has never seen it." ”

"Damn, you can shake it, don't shake it with the dung truck, smoke Lao Tzu to death! Don't know fuck off! The cow patrol pinched his nose and waved his hand repeatedly.

The farmer hurriedly pulled the dung truck away, and looked back after walking away.

He was just curious, and he didn't mean anything else.

The cattle patrol was looked at.

Wen Chaotian has often emphasized to him recently that it is not allowed to beat and scold the people, otherwise they will be severely punished.

Therefore, the cattle inspector thought that the farmer was angry, and he was afraid that the farmer would report the scolding he had just done to Wen Chaotian like a tailor Zhao.

Duan Chu saw the worry of the cattle inspection, took out a handful of copper coins, and walked to the dung truck in a few steps.

"Old Yu, you also know that Brother Niu is a rough man, and his mouth is often not clean, don't worry about him, these money will be given to you, buy a few fritters, cut two catties of pork, and bring it to your family."

Those who can go into the city to pull dung are already very poor.

The extra income of dozens of dollars is a surprise for Lao Yu.

"Master Duan, you must be investigating the case, I have clues to provide!"
