Chapter 120: Xie Boatman
Lan Qiqi caught the small iron box with her hand, and Hu Xiong and Sima Xi's eyes also looked at her.
Lan Qiqi didn't panic at all, and said calmly: "Mr. Li, this is a gift I gave you, did you just return it to me?" ”
Hu Xiong narrowed his eyes, and sure enough, he guessed correctly, these two people were a little tired.
Oh no, how should I tell Tang Xiaoyu when I go back.
Forget it, let's pretend you didn't see anything.
"You just asked me to take care of it for you, but you didn't say it was a gift for me." Li Changqing didn't want to have anything to do with this thing.
Lan Qiqi gave him a blank look, this Li Changqing really didn't want to eat at all.
The crowd rode in the previous sightseeing car, driven by federal soldiers, and took them to the exit of the Bureau of Investigation.
The vehicles they drove were also parked here.
But just as Li Changqing thought, there are many federal soldiers here at the moment, standing here with loaded guns and ammunition, and demon hounds on the side.
He also held a device to detect demonic energy in his hand.
Everyone who goes out will be searched.
Li Changqing and Hu Xiong, naturally there is no problem.
After coming out, Li Changqing's eyes saw Lan Qiqi behind him.
Lan Qiqi looked calm and followed behind, and the demon hound sniffed at her, but there was no response.
Lan Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, she had been sprayed with a scent-masking potion, which was able to numb the sense of smell of the demon hound.
As for the belongings, they were also taken out and inspected, and the small tin box was also opened.
Looking at the crystals that emitted cold air inside, the Federation soldiers also asked.
Lan Qiqi thought that she was a witch, and that this was the material for her own potion.
Before leaving, Lan Qiqi smiled and said to Li Changqing: "Changqing, I will come to play with you if I have a chance, see you next time." ”
After saying that, they also got into the car.
Li Changqing got into the car with a black face, and Hu Xiong, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at Li Changqing.
Li Changqing was just about to open his mouth to explain.
"No need to explain, don't worry, my mouth is notoriously strict, and I won't reveal it to Tang Xiaoyu."
After speaking, he also glanced at Li Changqing, saying that he understood.
Li Changqing rolled his eyes, but he didn't bother to explain......
At nine o'clock in the evening of the same day, the two finally rushed back to Nanlin City.
Hu Xiong drove the car and rushed directly to Tingyuxuan's bun shop.
Li Qingxue was sitting at the dining table, yawning and doing her homework, these tedious math problems were too difficult!
Her interest in math problems and music is completely disproportionate.
Hearing footsteps at this moment, she raised her head, as if she saw a savior: "Second brother!" You're back! Sister Xiaoyu, second brother, he's back. ”
was helping in the kitchen, and Tang Xiaoyu, who was busy, heard the voice and poked his head out: "You're back." ”
She was wearing an apron and her hands were still stained with flour, and she quickly wiped the flour on the apron: "Did the business trip go well?" ”
"Well, of course." Li Changqing smiled and nodded.
At this time, Tang Xiaoyu's eyes secretly looked at Hu Xiong, who was standing by the car outside the door.
Hu Xiong coughed dryly, nodded as well, and said, "It's going well." ”
"Thanks to the light rain that has helped me these days." Li Lin walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face, she was very satisfied with this 'brother and daughter-in-law'.
Smart, diligent, not picky eater, no matter what you do, you can eat all every time.
Li Changqing was chatting with Li Lin.
Hu Xiong's mobile phone outside the door also rang, he picked up the phone and glanced at it, and picked up the phone: "Hey? ”
"Huh?"
Hu Xiong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he called Li Changqing out of the bun shop, and said in a low voice: "Okay, let Miss Tang stay here for one more day, something happened by the river." ”
"Something happened by the river?" Li Changqing was stunned for a moment, nodded, and walked into the bun shop, claiming that there was still work that had not been completely completed today, and Tang Xiaoyu would stay here for one more day.
Of course, Li Lin didn't have any opinions.
Soon, the two got back into the car.
"What's wrong?"
Pulling the car door, Li Changqing turned his head and asked.
Hu Xiong drove directly to the direction of Linjiang and said: "A boatman by the river said that when he saw someone being dragged into the water by a woman and drowned, he originally thought he was dazzled, but today, a body was recovered from the river. ”
"Let's go over first, Shirakawa has arrived."
On the banks of the river, which has been cordoned off by the federal police.
After Li Changqing and Hu Xiong arrived, they showed their documents and let them go.
The two crossed the cordon and came to the river.
A corpse was covered with a white cloth on the ground.
Shirakawa stood beside him, his face calm.
There are quite a few federal police officers here, taking pictures for evidence, and not far away, eight boatmen are standing there in unison, and two federal police officers are questioning.
"Is that what you see? Are you sure he was drowned by a woman who dragged him into the water? ”
"Are you sure you didn't have dazzles?"
The boatman who was questioned was quite old, about seventy years old, with a full head of white hair, and he looked a little nervous in the face of the federal police's questioning, and stammered: "I, I'm sure I saw it." ”
"Officer, is it a water ghost, I have been ferrying on the river for so many years, and I have heard this kind of thing many times." The boatman whispered.
A younger federal policeman glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense about this superstitious thing. ”
Hu Xiong and Li Changqing also walked up, and Hu Xiong showed his ID.
The two federal policemen who were questioning immediately saluted: "Sir." ”
"You go over and rest first, and I'll ask." Hu Xiong said with a smile.
"Yes." The older officer nodded immediately, and pulled the younger officer to the side.
"Hello brother, please give me a rough description of what it was like." Hu Xiong smiled and handed the boatman a cigarette.
The boatman took the cigarette, his expression softened, and he said with some embarrassment: "I'm not sure if I saw it clearly at the time, but at this age, I am occasionally dazzled...... In case the wrong clues are given to you......"
"It's fine." Hu Xiong said with a smile: "Just make small talk, brother, don't think about it." ”
Hu Xiong and the boatman were chatting, but Li Changqing looked curiously at a boatman standing on the edge.
The last time he surveyed the docks, he saw this boatman's surname was Xie.
Xie Chuanfu was wearing a hat at the moment, his head was down, he was still wearing a robe, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
But Li Changqing felt a familiar feeling from this boatman.
It's hard to describe.
He thought about it, came to Boatman Xie, and asked with a smile, "Hello, Master Xie, we met last time, right?" ”
Xie Chuanfu raised his head, he looked more than forty years old, but he was a little ordinary, but his eyes were as plain as water.
Xie Chuanfu nodded slowly: "Yes." ”
"I heard the boatman just say that he saw the deceased being dragged into the water by a woman, did you see that?" Li Changqing's words were not just to ask the boatman, including a few people beside him.
The boatmen shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen them.
Xie Chuanfu said calmly: "I also saw it, but he didn't look dazzled." ”
