Chapter 40: Entering the house and searching
Xie Jinlan's fingers tapped his underwear, and his brain was running fast:
The girl said she had heard someone quietly worshipping Li Bao'er by the kitchen. If the murderer lived in Li Tiezhu's house, then the murderer would not need to find a way to get in and out of the yard, let alone worry about making a big noise......
Even if he felt that Chen's suspicion was much greater than that of Widow Yang, Xie Jinlan did not give up his plan to investigate Widow Yang's truth.
Sometimes, the person who is the most suspicious will not be the murderer. Everything depends on the evidence......
Through the open window, Xie Jinlan looked at the sky, then put away his underwear and ink strips, and walked out of the door again.
Recalling the gossip he had heard about Widow Yang earlier, Xie Jinlan extracted information about Widow Yang's residence.
Coming to a small-looking and dilapidated house, Xie Jinlan knocked lightly on the door.
After a few moments, there was no movement coming from inside the door.
Xie Jinlan's eyebrows twisted slightly, increased his strength, and knocked on the door again.
But there was still no response.
Just when Xie Jinlan was about to knock on the door for the third time, the door next door happened to open at this time. A diminutive young woman walked out of the door carrying a bamboo basket.
Xie Jinlan stepped forward a few steps to block the woman's way. I saw him smile gently, raised his hand and pointed to the door of Widow Yang's house, and said, "This sister-in-law, do you know where the owner of this house has gone?" ”
Glancing sideways in the direction Xie Jinlan was pointing, and when she moved her gaze to Xie Jinlan again, the woman's eyes suddenly became a little weird: "Are you looking for Widow Yang?" What is your relationship with her? ”
Xie Jinlan blushed slightly and said, "She can be regarded as my sister." ”
The woman looked Xie Jinlan up and down, until she saw that Xie Jinlan's face was embarrassed, then she snorted lightly, and dropped a sentence in a not very good tone:
"That woman hooks up with men all day long, who knows where she is going to hook up with men again!"
Before the words fell, the woman walked past Xie Jinlan without saying a word.
Without asking for useful information, Xie Jinlan couldn't, so he had to turn around and return to Widow Yang's house again.
Seemingly casually looking around, seeing that there was no one around, Xie Jinlan walked quickly to the fence outside the house.
I saw him raise his eyes and glance up, and estimated the height of the wall. Then he took a breath, borrowed his strength to climb over the wall, and quickly climbed into the courtyard.
After a rough survey around the yard and confirming that there was really no one in the house, he searched with confidence......
Except for Widow Yang's bedroom, the rest of the places were investigated by Xie Jinlan. However, there was no gain.
Could it be that Widow Yang is really innocent?
But such a thought only passed in Xie Jinlan's mind for a moment.
There is another place that has not been searched, and it cannot be so hastily decided.
In addition to his mother's bedroom, this is the first time Xie Jinlan has entered a strange woman's bedroom.
But he had no interest in everything in the room.
It's just that Xie Jinlan has just started to search, and the sound of opening the door faintly came into his ears.
I saw his movements pause slightly, and then quickly came to the window, quietly opened the window a gap, and looked at the source of the sound from here.
At this moment, he happened to see Widow Yang close the door and walk towards the bedroom.
Xie Jinlan didn't panic, and after gently lowering the window, he jumped directly onto the beam.
As soon as Widow Yang entered the house, she sat down in front of the dresser and took off the ostentatious jewelry on her head. Then he looked at himself in the bronze mirror and sighed softly.
The sad look on his face was similar to what Xie Jinlan had seen before.
I don't know where she sat and thought about something, but she didn't move a little.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she got up and came to the bedside. Then he took the pillow away and moved the kitchen knife under the pillow to the side. Then he lifted the quilt under the pillow and took out a small object from underneath.
Seeing this, Widow Yang's face instantly showed a heartfelt smile.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Widow Yang gently rubbed the small objects in her hand, looking very cherished.
Xie Jinlan took a closer look and found that it was a calf carved out of wood.
This calf looks a little familiar. But where did he see it?
Xie Jinlan's eyebrows twisted slightly, and he quickly searched the memories in his mind.
Below, Widow Yang didn't notice the slightest abnormality, and still looked at the calf in her hand with a gentle expression.
"Knock, knock."
At this moment, a regular knock on the door reached the ears of the two people in the room.
Widow Yang was overjoyed, and after putting the calf on the bed, she trotted out of the room, not even closing the door.
On the beams of the house, Xie Jinlan couldn't see who the person outside the door was.
After Widow Yang brought the visitor into the bedroom quite sneakily, Xie Jinlan couldn't help but be surprised: Li Daniu! He really has something to do with Widow Yang!
Immediately, a vague memory suddenly became clear in Xie Jinlan's mind: he remembered! That calf, Li Da Niu's bedroom also has an identical one!
As soon as the door was closed, Li Daniu held Widow Yang's shoulders with an anxious face: "Xiaoyu, how are you feeling today, is the child in your belly bothering you?" ”
Xie Jinlan had just come back to his senses, and Li Daniu threw out another earth-shattering thunderbolt.
Child!
So when did these two hook up!
Widow Yang pulled down Li Daniu's hands and looked at him with disgust: "Don't make a fuss, it's only been more than a month, where will there be any movement?" ”
Li Daniu was slightly stunned, and then scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Xiaoyu, you're right, it's me who made too much fuss." ”
Widow Yang smirked, her expression gentle: "Silly." ”
Li Daniu seemed to think of something, took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and handed it to Widow Yang as if offering treasure: "Here, this is what I specially bought from the town." ”
Widow Yang stretched out her hand to take it, and while carefully unpacking the oil paper bag, she asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
Looking at Widow Yang's happy appearance, Li Daniu also laughed:
"It's the red bean cake I bought at the stall, three dollars a piece, and I bought three pieces. Didn't you say a few days ago that you want to eat red bean cake? ”
Widow Yang opened the oiled paper bag, only to see that the three pastries in it were broken into several small pieces, and she could no longer see the original appearance.
Li Daniu was dumbfounded, and his dark face was slightly hot: "It was I who broke the pastry with too much strength." I'll be careful next time. ”
Widow Yang's eyes were slightly red, she pinched a small piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, then shook her head with a smile, and said:
"It doesn't matter, the red bean cake is still the same delicious, and it tastes the same as what I used to eat. Brother Niu, don't buy it next time, it's a waste of money. ”
