Chapter 28: Wang Bao and Du Yiming
When she arrived at the inn, Liz said to Bai Haohong, "Brother Bai, what time is it?" I think it's almost time for dinner, right? I haven't eaten lunch yet, and I'm dizzy with hunger now, can I just eat some first? ”
So Bai Haohong ordered a table of wine and food, and Liz ate it in the inn hall. Lizi buried her head in eating, and only spoke when she was half-full: "Brother Bai, you and Sister Xue are really amazing, you can still keep working without eating." ”
"What is this, when we handle cases, sometimes we only eat one meal a day."
As he spoke, a man with a hat and a cloak walked into the inn, and the man was very burly and had no expression on his face. Bai Haohong knew at a glance that this person was dressed in disguise both in figure and appearance: the face without any expression must be wearing a mask; The burly figure looks a little stiff, and it must have been disguised.
Bai Haohong felt that this person was a little strange, so he watched his every move sideways. I saw the man walk to the counter, took out a note and showed it to the shopkeeper, and after the shopkeeper read it, he said, "Are you looking for Wang Bao?" From here, go upstairs to the second floor and turn left to the third room. ”
Bai Haohong was stunned when he heard Wang Leopard's name, and thought, "Why did Wang Leopard come here?" His injuries should be healed. It is rumored that Wang Leopard is a killer, what is he going to do here? ”
Bai Haohong watched the mysterious figure go upstairs, and felt that the light steps were a little familiar.
At this moment, a young man walked into the inn and said loudly, "Shopkeeper, I want a guest room." ”
The shopkeeper apologized: "This little guest officer, I'm really sorry, the store is full." ”
"You've got to find a way to get me one! I'm a child, I can't stand the cold, if you don't give me a room, I will freeze to death and become a ghost, and I will make trouble in your store every day! ”
Lizi, who was immersed in eating, heard the young man's voice and felt very familiar, so she hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked over and asked, "Du Yiming, is it Du Yiming?" ”
The young man looked back, tears of joy flowed from his eyes, and he exclaimed, "Liz! I didn't expect to see you again! ”
"Great! You're alive too! Liz was also moved to tears, and then said, "What a coincidence! I can meet you here. ”
"It's a coincidence, it's not too much of a coincidence. Maru County is too small, the inn is just this one, and the next county seat is far away, so you can only stay here after noon. Alas, you see, there is no room yet, I really don't know what to do! ”
Bai Haohong heard Lizi mention the name "Yiming", he immediately understood what was going on, so he walked over and said to the shopkeeper, "Let him share a room with me." ”
Being able to solve Du Yiming's accommodation, the shopkeeper also breathed a sigh of relief, and said repeatedly: "That's good! All right! ”
At this time, Zhan Xue rushed back, and Liz introduced Du Yiming to Zhan Xue again, and everyone sat at the dinner table together, eating and talking.
Zhan Xue asked, "Yiming, where are you from?" ”
"I met the shopkeeper Zhang of the Beijing Health Pharmacy in Suzhou, and the shopkeeper saw that I was capable and accepted me as an apprentice. He bought a batch of medicines, saying that the store urgently needed them, and asked me to send them back to Beijing first, and he had other business and had to stay in Suzhou for a few more days. ”
Bai Haohong said secretly: "Yiming is much more shrewd than Lizi, and he says that he is a future person without seeing anyone." Bai Haohong looked at Du Yiming carefully, and saw that he was not tall, but he had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he looked smart and capable, so he asked, "Do you know where the health pharmacy is in the capital?" ”
"I don't know, but there's the road under my mouth. I asked all the way from Suzhou, and the shopkeeper Zhang wrote me the address and drew a picture. As he spoke, he took out the address and asked, "Brother Bai, do you see that this place is difficult to find?" ”
Bai Haohong took it and looked at it, and then called Bai Cheng and said to him: "Yiming is still young, and he is not familiar with life, you go and arrange someone to send him back to Beijing tomorrow." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Bai Cheng replied.
Du Yi thanked him: "Thank you so much, Brother Bai." If it weren't for the medicine waiting in the capital, I really wanted to go with you. ”
After eating, Bai Haohong came to Lizi and Zhanxue's house and asked, "Zhanxue, have Xiang Gan's clothes been delivered to the yamen?" Does the strip of cloth match the clothes? ”
"It is completely consistent, and the strip of cloth at the scene was indeed torn from Xiang Gan's clothes. Moreover, there is another thing to be happy about: Xiang Gan was caught today. ”
"That's great."
"I'm going to go to the yamen later tomorrow to ask about the results of Xiang Gan's interrogation."
"Okay, there you go. By the way, Wang Bao also lives in this inn. ”
Zhan Xue was taken aback and said, "Isn't Wang Leopard a killer?" He came here mostly because he was instructed by someone to kill people, and he couldn't let Wang Leopard succeed. It's a pity that there is no evidence, otherwise, I would have gone to catch Wang Leopard now. ”
"In order to keep an eye on Wang Leopard, I have already arranged for someone in the room next to him."
As he was talking, Bai Cheng came in and reported: "I heard Wang Bao and them talking just now, and said yes, Wang Bao will leave tomorrow morning." I pretended to book a room, and asked the store from the side, and the store confirmed that Wang Bao would check out tomorrow morning. ”
After Bai Haohong heard this, he said to Zhan Xue: "The road is no better than the inn, it is difficult to track, and Wang Bao's martial arts are not weak, so I plan to follow Wang Bao in person tomorrow." ”
When Liz heard this, she thought to herself: "Tracking Wang Leopard with Big Brother Bai can promote emotional exchanges, and if you encounter any more danger or something, your feelings will soar by at least ten levels." The feelings cultivated in the midst of danger must be unbreakable. Thinking of this, Liz immediately said, "Brother Bai, I will go with you to track Wang Leopard tomorrow." ”
"Zhanxue, you take Lizi to the Yamen." Bai Haohong discussed with Zhan Xue.
Lizi winked at Zhan Xue, Zhan Xue understood, she knew that Lizi liked Bai Haohong and wanted to act with him, so she suggested: "Brother Bai, Wang Bao knows you, you follow Wang Bao alone, it's really inconvenient in this daylight." You and Liz put on makeup, and then follow Wang Leopard, so that it is not easy to arouse his suspicion. ”
Liz said happily: "Sister Xue still understands me and can see my talent." Lizi turned to Bai Haohong again and said, "Brother Bai, I have research on tracking, which is a technical job. You take me with you, and we disguise ourselves as vegetable sellers, and we can swagger after Wang Bao. ”
In order to prove that she was capable, Liz continued: "Brother Bai, I disguised myself as a boy and pretended to be a brother with you, and the two of us sold vegetables together. You'd better get two sturdy baskets, one for the vegetables and one for me to sit on. How good it is that you carry two big baskets and follow Wang Leopard without showing mountains or dew! ”
Bai Haohong was amused by Lizi, and said with a smile: "Such a big person sits in a basket, and it is not visible and dewy, can't you walk without feet?" ”
"I can't work lightly, I can't walk fast, what if Wang Leopard walks fast and runs away? However, if you pick me and the leopard goes fast, you can also follow, I am light. ”
Bai Haohong didn't answer, he had already thought of a clever tracking method, explained a few words to Bai Cheng, and Bai Cheng took the order and left.
