Situ Yimo saw the little girl's doubts, so he explained that he likes to read some strange and strange scripts on weekdays, and also said that he often follows the work to the autopsy, and is very interested in homicide cases.

When the little girl heard this, she didn't know what words to use to describe the woman in front of her, but she felt that a bold and weird person was not enough to describe her.

But he didn't think much about it, anyway, he was guarding the teahouse alone in the past few days, and he was bored to death, so he just chatted with people and told Situ Yimo what he knew.

"That day was the birthday of our third lady, we were busy with the front and back, and we didn't have a chance to go out, I also heard that when the green girl was discovered, her clothes were torn, and there were many marks on her body, all of which were like that, that kind of red mark ......"

Situ Yimo was stunned, and then his face was a little unnatural, no wonder the little girl said that Lu Yin died a disgraceful death, and she didn't expect that she was bullied before she died.

"What about her corpse? Was he taken away by the boss of the Drunken Red Mansion at that time? ”

"I heard that when everyone saw Lu Yin's corpse, they wanted to report it to the Yamen, but when they thought of her identity, they just went to the Drunken Red Mansion, and it didn't take long for someone to come to the Drunken Red Mansion and take away the body of the Green Girl, and the next day it was rumored that the Green Girl died of illness."

Situ Yimo frowned, it's been two months, and Lu Yin's body must have been buried, I heard that the body of the Fengchen woman is going to be cremated, because they believe that only in this way can they wash their bodies and reincarnate in a good family.

Therefore, it is difficult to find out the cause of Luyin's death.

Situ Yimo asked Xie Peng again, and learned from the little guy that Xie Peng was honest, hardworking, kind, and got along well with the people in the teahouse.

"Have you seen his sister?"

"Yes, he also brought his sister to the teahouse before, his sister has been blind since she was a child, and her eyes can't see. But she has a lively personality and we all like her. ”

As he spoke, his expression became sad and he sighed, "Hey! Such a cute little sister disappeared like this, Xie Peng lost half of his life, and his sister was his lifeblood. At that time, we also helped Xie Peng find his sister, but unfortunately we couldn't find it after looking for several days. ”

Situ Yimo frowned, thought about it, and asked after adding a cup of tea to the little guy, "Then do you know why Xie Peng scolded Zhang Wei on the street?" ”

The little guy drank a few sips of tea, moistened his throat, carefully recalled the situation of the day, and recalled, "I was just about to go home that day, I bumped into him on the street, and I saw him scolding Boss Zhang, I was worried that he would offend people, so I stepped forward to pull him, but he was angry at the time, and he didn't pull it."

I heard him scold Boss Zhang for being a beast and a beast, and cursed him for not dying well, and he would be punished! By the way, Xie Peng also said that Boss Zhang killed his sister and asked him to return his sister. ”

"Boss Zhang killed his sister?"

The little guy shook his head, he didn't know, "Boss Zhang has business dealings with our teahouse, I've met him a few times, but my little guy can't talk to people." And he often goes out to do business, and I don't hear much about him. ”

"Then Xie Peng has something to do with Boss Zhang?"

"Every time Boss Zhang comes to our teahouse, Xie Peng goes to entertain him, and Boss Zhang rewards Xie Peng every time. At that time, we were all very envious of Xie Penglai. ”

As soon as the words fell, the little girl remembered something, so he said, "I remember that Xie Peng once brought his sister to the teahouse, and it happened that Boss Zhang was also there that day, and when he saw Xie Peng's sister, he praised his sister for being smart." Looking at him like that, he should like Xie Peng's sister very much. ”

Situ Yimo felt that something was wrong, but what was strange that she couldn't catch it, she asked a few more words and left the Qinji Teahouse, seeing that it was getting late, she went back to the yamen.

As soon as she returned to the Yamen, she asked people to check on the green girl who was drunk in the Red Mansion, and when it was time for dinner, Qi Hu also returned.

Situ Yimo asked him how he was. Qi Hu went to Qin She, Sun He, and Cao Pu's homes, and there was no change as before.

"Qin She's family is arguing over property, and no one cares about Qin She's case at all. Sun He has only one son, he and his daughter-in-law are very busy taking care of the restaurant, Cao Pu's family is simple, there is only one sick wife, no children and no daughters, and only one mother-in-law in the family takes care of his wife. ”

"What about Zhang Wei? Have you gone to his house? ”

"Zhang Wei's wife has been dead for many years, and he has not renewed the strings, there is no concubine at home, and he has no children and no daughters, he does business outside all the year round, and there is only one housekeeper at home." Qi Hu thought of something and mentioned, "I heard from the housekeeper that his master is very kind-hearted and helps take care of many orphans." ”

"Taking care of orphans?" Situ Yimo was surprised.

"Yes, I heard the housekeeper say that Zhang Wei likes children very much, and he comforts those orphans very much on weekdays. According to the housekeeper, Zhang Wei also built a house for the orphans and specially asked someone to take care of them, and the orphanage was not far from the eastern foot of the city. Qi Hu recalled the housekeeper's words.

"To the east of the city?"

Situ Yimo didn't know why she cared so much about this orphanage, it obviously sounded like a good thing, but her perception told her that she just felt that something was wrong, but if she looked into it carefully, she couldn't say it.

Well, she'd better go check it out.

Qi Hu was very surprised when he heard Situ Yimo say that he was going to the orphanage at the foot of the east of the city, "The county lord wants to go to the foot of the east of the city, is there something wrong with the orphanage?" ”

Situ Yimo shook his head, saying that he just felt that something was wrong and wanted to go and see, originally Qi Hu saw that the sky was getting dark and wanted to accompany her, but Situ Yimo still had something to do for him, so he had to investigate the case first. But seeing that Situ Yimo was alone, he was not at ease, so he asked people to find Xinglu.

Because several people died in a row at the east city gate, the patrol was strengthened, and the entry and exit of the east of the city need to be investigated, and there are also patrols around. Especially after dark, patrols are not only not slack, but more cautious.

Because, if there is another murder, their heads will not be saved.

The catchers in Minxian County all knew Situ Yimo, and when they saw her coming to the east of the city so late, they asked in surprise after catching their heads and saluting.

"Lord Anhe, where are you going?"

Situ Yimo glanced at the rising bright moon, and was shaken by the whiteness, she paused for a moment before asking, "I heard that there is an orphanage not far from the foot of the east of the city?" ”

The head catcher was stunned for a moment before nodding, "There is indeed an orphanage, I have been to that place once before, and it is a beautiful yard." That piece of land belonged to Boss Zhang, and I heard that he liked children, so he adopted many orphans and built an orphanage there. ”

As soon as the words fell, he asked in wonder, "Lord Anhe probably wants to go to the orphanage, right?" ”

"Well, I'd like to check it out."

"But, it's so late?"

"Some things are only visible when it's dark."

The head catcher is very puzzled, he has also been to Zhang Wei's orphanage, where he laughs and laughs, he used to think that Zhang Wei is a good person.

But since the county lord of Anhe wants to go, then he must not let her go, this Nirui county lord has already disappeared, but there can't be another county lord, otherwise the ancestral graves of these people will have to be dug up.

"Lord Anhe, the villain will accompany you, you are not familiar with the foot of the east of the city."

"No need, your patrol is important, since the murderer chose to kill in the east of the city, there must be a reason, you should guard here well, so as not to commit another murder." Situ Yimo shook his head.

"But ......"

"It's better to let the grass people accompany An and the county lord together." A cool voice came, and I saw a man in a blue brocade robe walking over.

Situ Yimo looked at his handsome face, and felt very familiar, and when he felt that he wanted to get up, he heard the head catcher shout, "Big young master." ”

Gentleman?

Situ Yimo was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had seen it in Baiyan Temple before. He is the son of Zhang County Ling, Zhang Yuren.

"Grass folk Zhang Yuren see the county lord of Anhe." Zhang Yuren saluted very well.

"You don't have to salute, get up."

Situ Yimo looked at him with bright eyes, and his first impression of him was good, although he had a bad relationship with his sister-in-law, and he didn't even want to share half of her umbrella.

"You just said you were going to the orphanage with me?"

"Yes, the grass people have been to the orphanage before, if the county lord of Anhe does not dislike it, the grass people can show the county lord the way."

Situ Yimo glanced at him, and then nodded, "Okay, then there will be Lao Zhanggongzi." ”

"Lord Anhe, please--"

Seeing the two of them walking away, the head catcher retracted his gaze, accompanied by their eldest son, and the safety of the county lord of An and the county did not need to worry, because they could not defeat their son-in-law together.

They rode soon to the foot of the mountain, where they could see the lights ahead and the house looming over the mountain.

Situ Yimo tied the horse to the tree, and suddenly felt that Zhang Yuren had been staring at her, she was slightly surprised, raised her eyes to look at the past, and collided with his sight, she opened her mouth slightly to say something, and heard his calm voice, faintly with a smile.

"The county lord of Anhe is really different from the others."

Situ Yimo was pondering the difference in his words, so he heard him say again, "Lord Anhe and follow me carefully, don't lose it." ”

As soon as she wanted to say something, she had already seen him walk to the front, and she smiled helplessly, whose official is bigger? Who listens to whom? Why did she feel like she was his subordinate at this moment?

She thought so in her heart, but seeing that the surroundings were so calm, she obediently followed him, and went around the bushes of the forest to the mansion in the woods.

At this moment, the lights were dim, but only the whirring wind could be heard quietly, and Situ Yimo felt that something was wrong.

It's not too late now, even if the child has to go to bed early, it won't be without a sound, right?

After Situ Yimo and Zhang Yuren glanced at each other, they jumped into the mansion one after another, and there was no one left and right, so they cautiously walked to the house inside, attached to the window and listened, but there was no sound.

Only then did they poke holes in the window and see the children sleeping peacefully, but Situ Yimo set his eyes on the burning incense burner.
