Chapter 57: Mixed feelings

"Nothing, nothing, hurry up, hurry up, get to work."

Blue Baby was very flustered by Wu Fei, and pushed people out of the door incoherently.

The room suddenly became very quiet, and the blue baby curled up on the bed, obviously sleepy, but unable to sleep.

After thinking about it for an hour or so, Wu Fei suddenly appeared again.

"General Bai is looking for you and telling you to go out immediately."

Lan Baobao immediately sat up from the bed, thinking of the two disappearances yesterday, she didn't think about anything, quickly freshened up and ran out.

When she went out, Bai Xiao was really waiting for her outside.

"The villain has seen General Bai, are you just in the early court?" The blue baby stepped forward and saluted and glanced at the court clothes on the other party's body.

Bai Xiao was noncommittal, sat on the horse and looked at her condescendingly and said, "Another child is missing, follow me back to Youduwei first." ”

Baby Blue was startled and nodded quickly.

Bai Xiao looked behind her and asked, "Why didn't you lead the horse?" ”

Blue Baby touched his face in embarrassment and whispered, "I won't." ”

Bai Xiao was speechless, if the other party changed to Feng Wei, it didn't matter if they rode the same horse.

But Baby Blue...... Forget it, he doesn't want to get in trouble.

"Find your own way through, I'll go first." Bai Xiao dropped this sentence and walked away.

The blue baby looked at the horse's ass in a daze, and said in his heart: You are giving me a ride!

Bai Xiao waited for half an hour in Youduwei, and the blue baby was late.

Seeing that she was sweating profusely, her white and delicate little face was already red, and a few drops of sweat slid down her forehead to her chin and neck...... The scene may have been tempting, but he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Bai Xiao was ashamed that he suddenly had such an idea, so he quickly shook off these thoughts and said in an unkind tone: "You dare to be late for the investigation...... This is the only time, not an example. ”

His anger was cut off in the middle of the way, and the blue baby pursed his lips inexplicably, looking at Bai Xiao's turned back and sneered: Who asked you to leave me, the palace and Youduwei are so far away, but I came here with my legs, do you know how tired I am?

She only dared to think about these words in her heart, and then followed Bai Xiao with a doggy face and asked him about the disappearance case.

"The missing person this time is still a child, surnamed Zhu, who has just turned ten years old, and lives in Chang'anfang, south of the city, and is an ordinary person. There are only two people in the family, he and his brother, the elder brother of the Zhu family has a skill, and he is currently working for the Ministry of Industry and is a civil craftsman. When his brother disappeared, he was out on business, and when he returned at night, he found that his brother was missing. ”

"Did you go missing yesterday?" Blue Baby asked.

Bai Xiao nodded, and the two of them arrived at the place. Blue Baby saw a tall man standing in the room, dressed plainly, with a dark complexion, and extremely upright facial features.

I think this is the brother of the missing man.

Then, according to the description of this person, the blue baby drew a portrait of the missing person.

Zhu Chengwang looked at the lifelike younger brother on the portrait, and immediately became excited, holding the portrait and refusing to let go.

Bai Xiao comforted him beside him and said, "What does your brother usually do at home?" Do you have a good partner? Where do you often go? Was there anything suspicious in the days leading up to the disappearance? ”

Zhu Chengwang lost his parents when he was sixteen years old, and his relatives were afraid that he and his younger brother would be a drag, so they broke off their relationship with them early.

So his younger brother was raised by him, and when he suddenly couldn't find his younger brother, he almost collapsed, he was a twenty-year-old man, but he still hid at home alone and cried.

At this moment, looking at the portrait of his younger brother, and listening to Bai Xiao's series of questions, he desperately thought about what happened before.

After thinking about it for a long, long time, it wasn't until Lan Baobao drew two more portraits of his younger brother that he said excitedly: "Ah Heng is very well-behaved, he has been able to do laundry and cook since he was eight years old, and he usually stays at home to work when I go out to make money." He rarely went out to play, and he didn't have many friends, and the most places he went every day were the nearest market to us, and he went to the nearby river to wash clothes. ”

Zhu Chengwang paused and continued: "He has often gone to the bookstore in recent days, but every time he just looks inside, he has never bought a copy. Ah Heng is very smart, but I am too useless to afford him to study. If his father and mother were still there, Ah Heng would definitely ...... by now"

A big man couldn't cry as he spoke, and Blue Baby and Bai Xiao glanced at each other, a trace of embarrassment and pity flashing across their faces.

Lan Baobao opened his mouth to comfort a few words, and Bai Xiao asked someone to send Zhu Chengwang home.

"You come with me to Chang'an Fang." After Bai Xiao handed over the portrait to another group of people, he said to the blue baby.

Lan Baobao didn't expect that she would also go out on duty, and thinking of the experience of going to the deserted house with Feng Wei last time, she was very resistant.

She is a civil servant, can you let her go, Chang'an Fang is so far away, and it takes an hour to ride a horse. Not to mention that she can't ride a horse, is it possible that she still has to walk?

Bai Xiao seemed to see her thoughts, thinking of her embarrassed appearance when she first came, sighed, and asked people to prepare a carriage.

A quarter of an hour later, the blue baby sat in the carriage, and his heart was finally less resistant.

It seems that this white general is not as ruthless as it seems on the surface.

Chang'an Fang is in the southwest corner of the capital, and the carriage drove for nearly an hour to reach its destination.

It's not a lively place, and most of the people who live in it are ordinary people, and even the market is not as lively as other places.

Blue Baby followed Bai Xiao to the river, went to the market, and asked many people with Zhu Chengheng's portrait, but many people had an impression of him.

The main reason is that Zhu Chengheng is very well-behaved and sensible, and he is also very delicate and good-looking, so many people can remember him.

However, after some inquiry, I didn't ask for useful information.

"Go to the bookstore." Bai Xiao said.

He said a word, and the blue baby could only follow.

There are not many bookstores in Chang'an Fang, only three, and they are all small bookstores, and the flow of people is not satisfied. So as soon as she and Bai Xiao asked casually, the bookstore owner remembered it.

The owner of the Ink Studio said: "He often comes to my store to read books, and every time he stays for a long time, and he is not satisfied with looking through this and that. I rushed a few times, and he apologized and left, but he would come back again. ”

The owner of Ziyu Bookstore said something similar to the previous bookstore owner, except that he said a few more words at the end.

"I see that he loves to read, but he is reluctant to buy books, and he looks very pitiful and well-behaved. I gave him a few books, but he refused to accept them, so I forced them to pass. I didn't read the books and helped me clean up the store, saying that it was in exchange for those books. Hey, that's a good boy. Official, what's wrong with him? ”

The last bookstore visited is called Mo Ji Study, which is said to be a chain and spread all over the capital.
