Chapter 8: The Last Letter
Jiang Yue took Xiao Chuyun all the way back to the county government slowly, and as soon as he stepped into the gate of the county office, the official hurriedly said that An Shimo was in a hurry to find him.
Xiao Chuyun followed Jiang Yue to the door of a room, but he just stood at the door and did not go in.
"What are you looking for me?" Jiang Yue walked in the door and looked at An Shimo who was sitting at the table and said.
"Today, a post envoy sent a letter, which was sent to her daughter by Xiao Jia's family ten days ago, because the Xiao family had this incident, the post envoy didn't dare to send it, and today I quietly stuffed it to me when I patrolled the streets." An Shimo said this and took the letter out of his bosom.
Jiang Yue took it, and was about to open it, but he stopped what he was doing, turned his head slightly to look outside the door, then put the letter on the table, sat down slowly, thought for a moment, looked at An Shimo and said, "What about the messenger?" ”
"Gone!" An Shimo said.
"Gone?!" Jiang Yue said in surprise.
An Shimo looked at Jiang Yue for some reason, only to see that Jiang Yue's face was instantly blue, his eyes were also a little sharper, and he gently tugged Jiang Yue's sleeve with some liver tremors, and said slowly with his little heart fluttering: "Jiang Yue, what's wrong?" Isn't it just a letter? As for it? ”
Jiang Yue turned his head to look at him, and said with a cold face, "Where is the envoy now?" ”
"Uh...... Shuanghua Alley in the south of the city is the first to ......," An Shimo still said unconsciously.
"Seongnam?" When Jiang Yue heard this, his heart was even more uneasy.
Without saying a word, he directly put the letter into his arms and went out in a hurry.
Seeing this, Xiao Chuyun at the door immediately followed quickly, fortunately he was not born to be a lady, and he caught up with him at a trot, but he kept up with his footsteps, and he was tired and out of breath, so he had to grab his arm, bend over and pant, and said, "What's wrong...... So urgent...... Blazing? ”
Jiang Yue noticed that there was a little girl behind her, and the front foot had just promised to take her to handle the case together, so as to protect her by the way, and the back foot forgot that she had never practiced martial arts, how could she be more in the footsteps of a person who practiced martial arts?
"Find clues!" Jiang Yue said lightly.
"Then you can't slow down? Excuse me to let a girl chase you? Xiao Chuyun said breathlessly.
Jiang Yue glanced down at her, sighed softly, turned around and continued walking, but at this moment, his heart softened and his pace slowed down a lot.
"Where is this going?" Xiao Chuyun said as he looked at the street with few pedestrians.
"You don't know?" Jiang Yue turned his head slightly and asked.
"I ..... I haven't been back for a long time, and I rarely came out of the house when I was a child, so I'm a little unfamiliar with it......" Xiao Chuyun lowered his head slightly and said with a little weakness.
Jiang Yue didn't say anything for this reason, but replied lightly: "This is the direction to your house......"
He didn't say anything because Jiang Yue wasn't sure if his judgment was correct, so before that, he didn't want to reveal it to her, at least not now.
When the two of them walked near the Shuanghua Alley in the south of the city, Jiang Yue suddenly stopped and looked around, this alley was just diagonally opposite the Xiao Mansion, and it was also a place where the Xiao Mansion must pass through.
When Jiang Yue came back to his senses, he only saw that Xiao Chuyun had walked to the door of Xiaofu alone, looking at the ruined walls, the dilapidated vermilion gate, and the Xiaofu plaque on the ground that had not yet been burned, standing on the steps of the gate, he could see the houses in the courtyard that had been burned down and collapsed, almost none of them were left, leaving only the blackened brown tile red wall, and the weeping willow that was half burned in the corner of the wall.
"What fire...... Can it be burned so simply? Xiao Chuyun didn't know what to say, and he always felt that it was not a taste when he watched this scene.
"Spirits and oil!" Jiang Yue slowly walked to Xiao Chuyun's side and replied lightly.
"Premeditated murder?" Xiao Chuyun's brain suddenly said with a bit of confusion.
"Yes, just after the day of unitary, it burned, and the fire was very strong......," Jiang Yue said.
Jiang Yue stood here with Xiao Chuyun for a while, then turned around and walked towards the post envoy's house, and when Xiao Chuyun reacted, he had already walked to the mouth of the alley.
Knock~knock~knock~
Knock knock knock......
At this time, it is the time when every household makes a fire to cook, and the messenger usually does not deliver letters, and there is almost no one on the street along the way, so the messenger is obviously at home, but why not open the door?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue kicked the door open, and what caught his eye was that the door was wide open, the table in the house was overturned, and it was a mess, and the post envoy had been hung on the beam, which was the same as the owner of the black shop and the shopkeeper The second shopkeeper died in the same way, but the only difference was that the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were nailed to the beam with a slender iron rod after death, and this post envoy was nailed alive!
Although the blood has coagulated, it can still be seen that it is from the wound in the jaw, spurting out in an instant, and then on the wall, on the door, on the ground, and on the clothes of the messenger, there are blood stains sprayed out, the hands are slightly bent, the eyes are open angrily, and the mouth is slightly open, it can be seen that he also struggled before he died, and he was killed by a move, and that person shot quickly, leaving no room for action.
"Ahh
Xiao Chuyun was frightened by the scene in front of him, and instantly screamed, almost sitting on the ground with weak legs.
Jiang Yue turned his head slightly, glanced at the room, turned around and walked quickly in front of Xiao Chuyun, and said softly: "It's okay!" ”
"Ahem, ahem...... I didn't bother you, did I? An Shimo suddenly appeared at the door and said with some embarrassment.
"What bothers not to bother! Come in and see what you've done! Jiang Yue looked at An Shimo at the door and said with a cold face.
An Shimo walked in hesitantly, pushed open the door and gasped, turned around with an embarrassed wry smile, looked at Jiang Yue a little embarrassed and puzzled, who knew that Jiang Yue had a face, and directly gave Xiao Chuyun a look, and when the two were about to leave An Shimo and leave, An Shimo hurriedly grabbed Jiang Yue and said, "You ...... Don't go! I...... I didn't expect that! ”
Jiang Yue suddenly became angry, turned around and tapped An Shimo's chest with the handle of the knife, pointed to the hanging messenger, and said with a little hatred: "You haven't been a new doll for a year or two since you caught fast, can't you even understand this?" Why don't messengers send letters? The envoy's residence is so close to the Xiao family, haven't you thought that he is so like this, what is he afraid of? Maybe he's the only eyewitness, you know? ”
An Shimo was like a child who had done something wrong, with his head down and blaming himself on the spot, while Jiang Yue turned to look at Xiao Chuyun and said, "If you're afraid, go out and wait for me!"
After that, he said to An Shimo again: "You don't need me to teach you how to do it next, right?"
An Shimo suddenly smiled and said: "Please make a record and let the brothers put a seal here!"
When the words fell, Jiang Yue glanced at him and walked straight towards the house, while Xiao Chuyun swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and slowly raised his feet and walked into the house.
"But what's the clue?" Xiao Chuyun suppressed the inexplicable complicated feelings in his heart, and said very calmly.
"No, it's very neat!" Jiang Yue turned his head and glanced at her thoughtfully, and then said.
Xiao Chuyun looked at the post envoy who was hanged, avoided the blood coagulated on the ground, took a cursory look at the room, looked at Jiang Yue on the side, and said, "I don't think so, isn't this a big clue here?"
Jiang Yue turned to face Xiao Chuyun, looking at the thirteen-year-old girl in front of him, and his heart had another layer of curiosity about her opinion, from the black shop, he could see that this girl had the courage to be different from girls of the same age, knowing the danger, and going around in the black shop. I was so frightened just now, but now I dare to follow up boldly, which is really interesting.
Jiang Yue deliberately pretended to be stupid and said, "What clues?"
Xiao Chuyun followed his words and said: "This person's death is exactly the same as the shopkeeper and shopkeeper in the black shop, it is obvious that they are in a gang, the strange thing is that ...... Why did a messenger become their target? ”
Jiang Yue lowered his head and smiled, his mind was indeed better than An Shimo, and after a cursory glance, he could say that his mind was not too stupid.
"Give!" Jiang Yue took out the letter, handed it to Xiao Chuyun, looked at Xiao Chuyun's somewhat blank gaze, and said again: "This is the letter that Mrs. Xiao wrote to you before she was killed, the envoy may have seen the truth of that day, so he didn't dare to send the letter out, so he was killed!" ”
Xiao Chuyun immediately took the letter and couldn't wait to open it to take a look, but after opening it, it was like thunder in an instant, and the letter wrote:
Chu Yunwu'er,
It's been four years, but the thought of thinking about my child has never diminished by half. My father's loving father told me every day that I wanted my son to reunite with my family on New Year's Eve, but he could endure the world's entanglement for more than two months, and when he looked at the sun, he sent someone to pick up my son and return home. I also hope that my son will remember the grace of the teacher's seat, and I will thank you for returning the favor, I have a hasty piece of paper, in order to comfort the hanging heart, when I write, I think about it, and I hope that my child is safe and take care.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the mother's pen book
Xiao Chuyun came to his senses at this time, and said in disbelief: "This envoy ...... It's for my family's business that I ended up like this? ”
When the words fell, Xiao Chuyun subconsciously grabbed Jiang Yue's arm with both hands, his eyes were a little red, and he said with some sobs: "In the black shop, the black-robed man, the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper are all here to kill me?"
Jiang Yue nodded, at this time he wanted to comfort this girl, but his hand was just raised, but it slowly fell, so he had to say lightly: "With me, I will definitely protect the girl!"
Xiao Chuyun suddenly couldn't stop crying, there was sadness and grievances, sad for these two fathers and mothers who had never met, and aggrieved for coming to this strange world.
"Give!" Jiang Yue took out his white towel and handed it to Xiao Chuyun's hand.
"Woo woo woo ......" Xiao Chuyun took the scarf, crying even more tears, she came to this world in the past four years, she has never cried, but now it makes her extremely aggrieved, she can't help but come, but she has to be chased and killed inexplicably, all this God has never asked her.
Xiao Chuyun was only thirteen years old, and she subconsciously lay on Jiang Yue's body and cried, but she only reached Jiang Yue's chest, and her unscrupulous snot was all pasted on Jiang Yue's body.
And Jiang Yue could only accept it helplessly, very embarrassed and a little embarrassed to look down, Xiao Chuyun, who was crying into tears, made him helpless at this time, so he had to raise his hand and gently touch her head, and said, "Cry......"
