Chapter 106: Tong County
After breakfast, Zhao Yashi insisted on giving Shen Fengjiu two silver tickets as a reward, and Shen Fengjiu did not refuse, and accepted it directly.
After all, he is an apprentice taught by Shen Lingyan, and Shen Fengjiu is not a person who likes to twist and push.
Zhao Yashi also had to accompany his sister to recuperate in Changzhou for two days, and the two parties said goodbye.
Today, An Nian coquettish wanted to ride with Lu Zhaoling, and Lu Zhaoling encircled him in his arms.
When everyone came out of the gate of Changzhou, An Nian looked around mysteriously, as if to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then quietly turned his head to Lu Zhaoling and said, "Sister Zhaoling, that aunt surnamed Xue is very strange. ”
"Huh? What's so strange? Don't speak ill of people for no reason. Lu Zhaoling felt a little funny when he looked at him, and scratched his nose.
"I woke up last night and saw that aunt in the yard by herself." An Nian whispered.
It seems that I do have sleepwalking, and I had a seizure last night.
Lu Zhaoling thought to himself.
"It's not surprising, maybe she can't sleep at night and comes out for a walk." She bowed her head to An Nian and said.
After all, the Snow Maiden doesn't want people to know about her illness, so let's not talk nonsense about sleepwalking.
"Strangely not here." An Nian pressed his throat, looking like he was going to say something shocking secret, "She's eating!" ”
"Eat?" Lu Zhaoling frowned strangely.
To say sleepwalking and eating in the middle of the night...... It's okay too......
"Do you know what she's eating?" An Nian became more and more energetic as he spoke, and a pair of big black eyes looked at Lu Zhaoling with concern, "She's gnawing on that tree in the yard!" ”
"Huh?!" Lu Zhaoling really lived up to his expectations and was taken aback.
Gnawing on trees?
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiaohua, it's also there!" An Nian said seriously, lifted the little flower and shook it.
Xiaohua "meowed" very cooperatively.
"And then? How long did she gnaw? Lu Zhaoling couldn't help but ask.
"When she found me, she hurried away."
"Did she find you?" Lu Zhaoling was taken aback again.
Didn't you mean sleepwalking? You can't find anyone else. If it's not sleepwalking, why are you gnawing on trees?
"So this is the Snow Maiden's unspeakable illness? Gnawing on trees? Yang Che also came over curiously to join in the fun.
Lu Zhaoling thought about it and reluctantly told Yang Che: "According to Zhao Yashi, his junior sister is suffering from night travel in dreams. ”
"Sleepwalking? That shouldn't be able to find An Nian. Yang Che was puzzled.
"That's what I thought too......"
From this point of view, the Snow Maiden's abnormality in the middle of the night was related to the illness she was concealing, and she must have been awake when she gnawed on the tree.
"What strange illness would make her get up in the middle of the night and secretly gnaw on trees......" Lu Zhaoling had never heard of this disease.
"Pica." Shen Fengjiu said.
"Is it really this disease?" Yang Che said in surprise.
"Craving foreign bodies, difficult to self-control." Shen Fengjiu added.
"So, in fact, Snow Maiden suffers from pica, but she feels ashamed to say it, so she lies and says that she is sleepwalking?" Yang Che speculated.
"I think it's possible that she sneaked out to eat in the middle of the night and was spotted by someone she knew, so she pretended to sleepwalk so that no one else knew about her pica. But it's also possible that she really suffers from sleepwalking at the same time......," Lu Zhaoling said his guess.
"You guys are guessing here, whether that aunt suffers from sleepwalking syndrome, just ask this Brother Shen." An Nian said disappreciatively.
Shen Fengjiu glanced at An Nian obliquely, as if he had a shallow smile.
"She doesn't have sleepwalking." Shen Fengjiu said lightly.
"......I see," Lu Zhaoling suddenly realized.
Finally, the mystery of Snow Maiden's illness has been solved. Although it is a hidden disease that others are unwilling to tell, it was unintentionally discovered by An Nian, which is still somewhat curious......
Lu Zhaoling felt a little guilty of spying on others privately.
In order not to delay time, they sped up all the way, and two days later, the group arrived in Tong County.
Tongxian is a small town, but it is very lively. Since the Special Investigation Department is here, the law and order is exceptionally good, and the people are happy to live here.
"When Zhao Yaguan mentioned it before, I remembered that I had indeed vaguely heard of such a special investigation department in the palace." When the group of them passed by the gate of the Special Investigation Department, Lu Zhaoling said while looking at the mansion.
"By the way, Yang Che, your mother's case has never had a clue, why don't you report it to the Special Investigation Department to entrust an investigation?" She suddenly remembered this and suggested to Yang Che.
"I don't think I'll take over." Yang Che said, "They only handle big and important cases, my mother's death...... I'll look into it myself in the future. ”
Yang Che seemed a little reluctant to mention this matter.
Previously, Yang Che suddenly decided to leave Jinzhou with Lu Zhaoling, and Lu Zhaoling did not think about it, his mother's case had not yet been concluded, so he left like this, afraid that he would have concerns in his heart. But he didn't seem to pay much attention to it. The longer the homicide drags on, the more difficult it is to find clues, and isn't it more difficult to investigate later? I don't know what he's going to do.
Lu Zhaoling had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask at this time. She decided to find an opportunity to talk to Yang Che tonight.
A few people found an inn, bought some things, and in a blink of an eye it was night.
There was no moon in sight this night, and it was dark all around, which made people feel very depressed.
Lu Zhaoling glanced at the thick black curtain outside the window, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
A bit of an ominous premonition......
She shook her head, trying to calm herself.
Let's talk to Yang Che first.
She came to Yang Che's door and knocked on the door.
The sound of "meow meow" came out inside, and it was a small flower. But after waiting for a long time, no one came to open the door, and there was no other sound.
Yang Che and An Nian are not in the house? Come back later......
Lu Zhaoling felt irritated for no reason, and on the way back to the house, he inadvertently glanced down, and seemed to see a black shadow flashing by.
What's going on? Someone? Or am I dazzled?
Lu Zhaoling lay on the side of the railing and looked down carefully for a while, but found nothing abnormal.
But along the way, Lu Zhaoling has been a lot more vigilant, especially when she met someone who walks the way of heaven a few days ago, she is always a little uneasy.
It was Yang Che who waited for them in front of the door for a while, and reminded them to be careful earlier.
Lu Zhaoling turned around again and came to Yang Che's door.
After waiting for a long time, no one came back.
Going out in the middle of the night, it's been so long, it's time to come back.
The little flower in the house seemed to sense that Lu Zhaoling was outside the door, and kept "meowing" and screaming.
Lu Zhaoling tried to push the door, but he pushed it open, and the lock on the door was false.
She hurried into the house and looked around.
Xiaohua saw her and immediately pounced.
She reached out and took the flower into her arms, but nothing unusual was found in the room.
Although there was no abnormality, Lu Zhaoling's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and he was very nervous for no reason.
What's going on?
