On the second day, Xie Jianmian remembered the events of last night, and arrived at the government office early, but he still couldn't catch up with Zhou Zhi, he couldn't help but wonder if Zhou Zhutou hadn't slept all night, and came to the government office directly from Xishan.

Thinking of last night's scene, Xie Jianmian couldn't help but worry, and asked sideways, "How did you sleep last night?" ”

Zhou Zhi looked at him in surprise, didn't understand the meaning of this question, and replied casually: "It's good." ”

It's a pity that Zhou Zhi's pale green and tired look betrayed him, and this look doesn't look like a good night's sleep. Xie Jianmian didn't believe it at all, he sneaked a glance, and was caught by Zhou Zhi, he wondered in his heart: "What's going on with you today?" So concerned about me? ”

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Xie Jianmian retracted his gaze and squeezed out a weak smile.

Zhou Zhi was even more suspicious, and when he wanted to continue to ask, He Si ran in from outside.

"Oh, you two don't flirt!" He Si came at a bad time, and he was even more eyeless, "Someone just reported to the official, and we are busy again!" ”

"What's wrong?" At the end of the idle days, the sentence "report to the official" made everyone lose their minds to play, and hurriedly asked.

He Si: "The prefect asked me to tell the boss that an old man reported that his daughter was missing and had not been seen for two days, so he asked the boss to quickly take someone to investigate." ”

"Another disappearance?" Zhou Zhi frowned, he couldn't help but think of the events of last month, and felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, and always felt that the word "missing" was really unknown. He turned his head and saw the same question in Xie Jianmian's eyes.

"Is the old man still in the mansion?"

He Si hurriedly nodded: "Yes, here." ”

"Let's go." Zhou Zhichong waved his hand at Xie Jianmian, "Go and ask about the situation." ”

The government has set up a duty room for the catcher, and in order to facilitate the operation, it is not far from the main hall and the gate, but it is only a few steps away.

There was an old man sitting in the main hall, with half-white hair, who was anxiously going around the degree, and when he saw someone coming, he hurriedly stepped forward: "This is the master of the government, right?" ”

Zhou Zhi nodded, helped the old man sit down, and asked, "You reported to the official that your daughter is missing, can you tell me the details, so that we can help you find it as soon as possible." ”

"My daughter said yesterday that she wanted to go to the Guanyin Temple to pray for blessings, and she went out early in the morning, but who knew that she would never come back......" The old man said as he clutched Zhou Zhi's sleeve tightly, refusing to let go like a life-saving straw, "What should I do if something happens to this girl's family?" ”

Zhou Zhi: "In this way, you first describe your daughter's appearance, ask the painter of the government to draw a portrait, and post it at the notice office, and someone will always know the clue." ”

After the old man's description, the painter quickly drew a concise and realistic portrait, Xie Jianmian stopped in front of the desk, holding his chin and carefully looking at the woman in the painting, such as smoke eyebrows, crescent moon eyes, not a country and a city, but there is a little bit of affection.

He nodded and praised: "It's a beauty." ”

When the old man heard this, he didn't know whether he was sad or happy: "The neighbors all said that I was able to give birth to such a girl because I had accumulated great virtue, and my daughter was good-looking and good-natured. ”

From just now, Zhou Zhi's eyes have been on Xie Jianmian, and only then did he retract his eyes, he nodded at the old man, and said, "You go back to rest first, I will ask the brothers to post the portrait, and we will also take people to search, as soon as there is news, it will be yours immediately." ”

"Master Catcher, you must help me find my daughter, I'm so worried at such an age, I can't have anything to do."

The old man's voice trembled, and he wanted to kneel down when he bent his knees, but Zhou Zhi was so frightened that he hurriedly helped him up and sent him to the door to watch the old man leave before turning around and returning to the class room.

"Qi Fei." Zhou Zhi shook the portrait in his hand, "Paste this to the government notice, and once someone provides clues, you will tell me as soon as possible." ”

Qi Fei took the portrait and acted super strongly: "Okay boss." ”

"Remember the people in the portrait, right? And go out and find them as soon as possible. Zhou Zhi ordered the others to catch quickly, and looked at Xie Jianmian who was standing on the side, "Gongzi Xie, let's go, please come with me." ”

There is a huge Jinzhou city, not counting the corners of the suburbs, there are countless locals and outsiders who come and go every day, and there are no other clues with just a portrait, and finding a girl in this vast flow of people is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Everyone understands the truth, but you can't do nothing because there is little hope, as long as there is a slight possibility, you can't do your best and run the same legs.

The only thing that can be started at this moment is that this is a girl, and she is still a good-looking girl. The mere fact that the "missing girl" can cause some reverie, especially since the girl is still a beauty......

Zhou Zhi glanced hurriedly over the person walking by on the street, bent his arm and bumped Xie Jianmian with his elbow: "Do you have any thoughts on this?" ”

"Thoughts?" Xie Jianmian squinted his eyes, a little sleepy from the sun, and couldn't help yawning as soon as he opened his mouth, "I don't know how your atmosphere in Jinzhou is?" ”

Xie Jianmian said it implicitly, but Zhou Zhi still understood the meaning in an instant, which was not much different from what he had just thought. "Girl" and "Atmosphere" are linked, and there is only one explanation for Fengyue Place.

If this "Fengyue" is just a place that is open to the outside world like a prostitute, it may be easier to find clues from it, but if it is like the tacit secrets that most of the powerful people in various places have, raising a few women from good families, then I am afraid that this matter is not something that the catcher can meddle in.

At the moment, I have no clue, I can only start with the easy place, there are only a few in Jinzhou, and it is not difficult to check them one by one, but what kind of name should I find to achieve my goal without startling the snake?

Knowing what Zhou Zhi was hesitating, Xie Jianmian yawned and said, "If you want to check the prostitutes to see if there is a forced kidnapping of a woman from a good family, I have a candidate who may be able to help you." ”

Does Gongzi Xie still know the people in Fengyue? This kid can, it's only been a long time since he arrived in Jinzhou and he's so familiar, it's really unseemly.

Zhou Zhi was very surprised, and a little uncomfortable for no reason, he had never been to these places, why should this kid?

Discomfort is uncomfortable, business still has to be put first: "Who?" ”

"I'll lead the way." Xie Jianmian stretched out his hand and made a gesture of "please", "Lord Head Catcher, please." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Jianmian stopped in front of a rather elegant gate, and the sound of silk and bamboo came from it, Zhou Zhi felt that this place was somewhat familiar, and when he looked up, he saw the words "Warm Jade Pavilion" written on the wooden plaque.

Zhou Zhi: "......"

No wonder it looks familiar.

Xie Jianmian turned around and saw Zhou Zhi stunned in place, thinking that he was not used to this kind of place, and explained: "This is just a music dance workshop, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

Of course he knew what kind of place this Warm Jade Pavilion was!

Zhou Zhi glanced at him, concealed his inner apprehension, and entered the Warm Jade Pavilion one after the other.

Xie Jianmian seemed to be very familiar with this place, and walked straight to the second floor without guidance along the way, the strange thing is that the people in this pavilion nodded to him one after another, but no one came to greet him, that attitude was not like treating guests, and he didn't get acquainted with him but brought a little respect.

On the corner stairs is the second floor of this warm jade pavilion, the second floor seems to be closed to guests, very clean, Zhou Zhi didn't know why those people didn't stop them, so he let them swagger in, but looking at Fang Cai's posture, he was mostly stained with the light of Gongzi Xie.

There is a room in the innermost part of the second floor, and there are a few pots of phoenix tail bamboo at the door, and the door under the shade of bamboo leaves is deep and clean, and it is difficult to attract attention if you don't pay attention to it.

Xie Jianmian raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, and after a while, the door opened with a "creak", revealing a woman's face with gorgeous eyebrows and a gloomy expression.

Zhou Zhi was surprised: "Miss Xilan? ”

Zhou Zhi remembered Xi Lan, but Xi Lan obviously didn't know the catch in front of him, and was slightly stunned.

Xie Jianmian looked at Zhou Zhi, raised his eyebrows and said: "Yo, it seems that Zhou Zhutou has come here to listen to the music, and he still pretends to be pure and innocent, is it possible that he is shy?" ”

"No, I ......" Zhou Zhi felt that he couldn't explain clearly, and his little remaining good image was afraid that it would be completely destroyed, "I didn't come often, just once, with Qi Fei and them." ”

After saying that, he felt strange again, he was in such a hurry to explain what to do, like a negative man who had abandoned his wife.

Xie Jianmian smiled gloomily, looked incredulous, and entered the door without squinting, and Zhou Zhi had no choice but to follow in.

Ji Lan lifted the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, and motioned for the two to sit down, before she asked expressionlessly, "Amiens, why are you here?" ”

"Why, I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?" Xie Jianmian picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, with a look of surprise in his eyes, "It's still the tea made by Sister A!" ”

Ji Lan smiled and patted him on the head: "Okay, I don't know you yet, you haven't come to me for so long, why would you suddenly come over if something didn't happen?" I also brought a catcher, don't you introduce it? ”

Xie Jianmian told Ji Lan everything he wanted, and Zhou Zhi looked at it on the side, guessing the relationship between the two while drinking tea. He thought that Xie Jianmian was the one he met after he arrived in Jinzhou, but looking at the familiar appearance of the two, Xie Jianmian still has a "sister", and he must have known each other for a long time.

and the attitude of the people in the Nuan Yu Pavilion towards Xie Jianmian is really noteworthy.

"I see." After listening to Xie Jianmian's statement, Ji Lan glanced at Zhou Zhi for some reason, nodded and said, "I'll help you inquire in a while, little ancestor." ”

Xie Jianmian squinted and smiled: "Thank you, sister." Sister, you are so beautiful. ”

"It's sweet in your mouth."

Is he like this to people he knows, he is so well-behaved, thinking of the angry words and deeds before this scourge, Zhou Zhi's heart is a little sore, he is not a bad person, he thinks he is worthy of him, why can't he be so well-behaved.

Xie Jianmian: "By the way, sister, I forgot to tell you, I have my name in the mansion, and now I am my superior next week, and I have to listen to his orders." ”

"Zhou Zhi?" Ji Lan glanced at it again, "Since the owner of the village asked me to follow you, I have to watch you, but we have been in love for so many years, I know what you think in your heart, and you should only turn a blind eye to your affairs, you are such an adult, you should understand what you are doing, you don't need me to remind you all the time, right?" ”

Xie Jianmian was also a little stunned for a while, and nodded indiscriminately in the clouds.

Zhou Zhi on the side spread his hands at the gaze that Xi Lan looked at again, he always felt that this girl was a little hostile to him, and it was inexplicable.

After going out, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Who are you, Miss Xilan?" You seem to know each other very well. ”

Xie Jianmian nodded: "She is from Liuyun Villa, we grew up together since childhood, I call her a sister." This time she actually came to Jinzhou with me, and after arriving in Jinzhou, we separated. ”

"Oh......" Zhou Zhi pouted, "Childhood sweetheart." ”

Xie Jianmian: "...... Sort of. ”

"Then the Nuan Jade Pavilion is also from Liuyun Villa?"

"Yes. To be precise, it's Sister A's. ”

Sure enough, Liuyun Mountain Zhuang's family has a big business, which can be matched by him and other small catchers.
