Chapter 8: Serial Murderers
Following.
Tan Qing got up early in the morning and asked A-Ning to find herself a dress of hers, and after Ma Yu'er changed it, she was very familiar with tying two ponytails for herself, and then took out her headscarf to wrap herself tightly, which was to leave A-Ning in the house, and he took two coins of silver except for the door.
There was no need to go out so early in the morning, but Tan Qing remembered that the original owner's aunt said before leaving yesterday that she had to prepare money for her son today.
Tan Qing is not a fool, he is so poor that he can't live, and he has to think of ways to give their mother and two money.
It's just that although he is unwilling to pay, Tan Qing can't say it in front of Aunt Tan, not to mention that he is now suffering from the enemy and has no foundation at all.
So after thinking about it all night, Tan Qing came to the conclusion that he couldn't afford to hide if he couldn't provoke me.
It just so happened that Tan Qing wanted to go to the restaurant in the town to see if he could give himself a place to make a living, so he simply got up early in the morning, left Yang's mansion, and avoided Aunt Tan. Besides, although this Water Mill Town is not a big town, it is not so easy to find someone to come out here, not to mention, Tan Qing has deliberately hidden.
Because she didn't know the terrain of this Shuimo Town, Tan Qing walked aimlessly on the street when she left Yangfu, but fortunately, she had plenty of time today, so she was not in a hurry.
Because Tan Qing walked on the right side of the street when he went out yesterday, this time Tan Qing deliberately walked to the left, but Tan Qing passed two or three restaurants along the way, and the doors were tightly closed, Tan Qing was depressed for a long time before he reacted, and it was normal for the restaurant not to open in the early morning.
But after realizing this, Tan Qing had nowhere to go, originally she went out for a purpose, but she didn't know what to do when she was free.
After being confused for a long time, Tan Qing resigned himself to his fate and wandered around the street.
First of all, after watching the market for a long time, I almost understood the prices of this era.
This penny can buy an egg, and a stone of grain can be sold for 20 wen.
Tan Qing weighed it privately, and originally thought that these two coins of silver could not buy anything, but in such a comparison, if you save a little, these three families will be able to live for a month.
I have a little understanding of the price in my heart, but Tan Qing's heart is a lot more relaxed, if his cooking skills can come in handy, I am afraid that he can be a small landlord or something in this era.
Thinking about it like this, Tan Qing actually laughed softly, this was the first time in the days she came here that she had some kind of vision for the future.
Suddenly, I felt a lot happier in my heart, and the expressions of the people around me softened a lot.
When he had nothing to do, Tan Qing squatted in front of a lady who sold vegetables and watched, the vegetables sold by this lady were so fresh, Tan Qing as a cook, his favorite dish was like this, although the price was a little expensive, but the taste was also extremely fresh, and it tasted like a touch of umami.
It's just that this lady is not very good-tempered, and she has been selling vegetables there for a long time, and she is not allowed to bargain with others, according to her words, she has worked hard to grow this dish, and she can't sell it too cheaply.
Tan Qing watched quietly for a long time, but he felt that this lady was extremely appetizing to herself, and when Tan Qing cooked in the past, she never deliberately reduced the quality of her own dishes, which is why the price of Tan Qing's dishes is often higher than the market price, but it is still in the market.
Taking advantage of the fact that the eldest lady had no business at this time, Tan Qing slowly moved to the eldest mother, pretending to look at the eldest lady's dishes as if nothing happened, but her mouth unconsciously said, "Auntie, your food is so fresh, why don't you want to send it to the restaurant, it must be much more cost-effective than you setting up a stall here." ”
When she spoke, Tan Qing deliberately changed the tone of her speech, after all, she was not sure if there were people who knew the original owner in the people around her.
The eldest lady noticed Tan Qing's existence, but she didn't take her seriously, glanced at Tan Qing lightly and said, "You little girl knows something and is talking nonsense there." ”
Tan Qing listened, but he didn't take the eldest mother's words to heart, but took a careful look at the dishes in his hand, slowly stood up, and remembered the eldest mother's appearance in his heart, this is how to leave.
Walking some distance further, Tan Qing saw a group of people surrounded in front of him, bustling, talking noisily there, his steps sped up by two steps, Tan Qing walked behind the group of people in a few steps, and only then did he hear their conversation clearly.
Since a year ago, there have been girls missing one after another in this water mill town, and so far there are seven people, and the local county magistrate has just taken office, and does not want to report the case to the superiors, so this matter has been covered up for a while, until three months ago, the only daughter of Shuishi Village is also gone, and it is there that the matter is making a big fuss, and the people in Shuimo Town know the seriousness of the matter.
The county commander saw that he couldn't hide the matter, so he sent someone out to investigate the case and look for the disappeared girl, but these three months have passed, but there is no gain.
I don't know why, the moment she saw this news, Tan Qing's body trembled involuntarily for a long time, and suddenly, she seemed to remember something, but it was only for a while, she shook her head violently, stretched out a hand and pinched her arm, this is the coming back to her senses.
It's just that when Tan Qing got closer to the crowd, he saw a notice pasted on the wall, with a few words clearly written on it, "Suspect, murder, serial crime, abduction, ......."
At that moment, Tan Qing finally understood where this sense of familiarity came from for no reason,
A month before Tan Qing's death, the police station exposed the serial murderer's crime, at that time, Tan Qing only felt that the murderer was cruel and perverted, but he did not put himself in the middle of the matter to do some measures to protect himself, so when the man covered his mouth with a handkerchief with anesthetics and took himself to the barren mountain, Tan Qing was scared and could not do anything else.
Originally, there was a lot difference in strength between men and women, not to mention that the perverted murderer was a strong man.
Tan Qing lay on the ground, looked up at the man's face, saw the smile on the corner of his mouth, and saw the undisguised malice in his eyes, and shrank deeply.
Finally, when recalling this, Tan Qing found the commonality of two things.
The perverted murderer who killed himself had a face exactly the same as the second master of the Yang family, and in the place where the second master of the Yang family appeared, there was once again a case of missing girls.
When she realized this, Tan Qing stumbled a few steps slightly, originally she thought that at least in this era, the owner of the face she was afraid of would not be a threat to herself, but after knowing this incident, Tan Qing seemed to be vaguely aware of something, perhaps, in this girl's disappearance, she knew who the murderer was.
With such an understanding, Tan Qing can no longer just listen to it as news that is not very related to her like in her previous life, she stared at the notice a few times, almost word by word, she recorded the notice in her heart, silently recited it again and again, and when she was about to memorize this whole paragraph, Tan Qing exhaled deeply and squeezed out of the crowd.
Standing on the corner of the street and silent for a while, Tan Qingcai calmed down his mood, slowly raised his head, and saw from a distance that the door of the water mill family had been opened.
After thinking for a moment, Tan Qing raised his feet and walked towards the Shuimo family.
"Guest officer, please, how many people are you?" As soon as he entered the Shuimo family, a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old greeted him, and said to Tan Qing with great enthusiasm.
Tan Qing lowered his eyes and glanced at him, this young man looked very delicate, and he didn't dress like a child from a poor family, this eyebrow was slightly revealed half uninhibited, with Tan Qing's ability to observe words and emotions for more than 20 years, this young man is by no means just a miscellaneous runner, after careful consideration for a long time, Tan Qing lowered his voice and said to the young man, "I'm looking for the boss." ”
The young man looked at Tan Qing with a pair of eyes, with a hint of banter and confusion in his eyes, and then he asked, "I don't know what you are looking for our boss, our boss is not here, you can tell me something, and I will help you tell the boss." ”
"In that case..... Tan Qing pursed his lips and spoke, "I heard that you are looking for a cook here, and I will answer the call." ”
Tan Qing's words fell, but the young man laughed lightly, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, looking at Tan Qing was pleasing to the eye, I have to say that this young man is the best-looking person after crossing here.
Except, of course, Yang Huan.
According to Tan Qing, Yang Huan has been completely shielded by her senses, and Tan Qingqing feels that he looks gloomy, and has no other opinion.
"Sister, do you know the requirements of the water mill family for cooks?" The young man opened his mouth slightly, and his tone did not have the slightest hint of ridicule, he just stated the facts.
Tan Qing shook his head, according to the facts, Tan Qing didn't know the requirements, but she had a certain degree of understanding of her cooking skills, at least, it was not a problem to be a cook in such a small town.
It's just that Tan Qing shook his head, but this action caused the young man to laugh, and the young man's laughter just reached Tan Qing's ears, and the next moment the young man's laughing words came out, "In this case, then Sister will go to the kitchen first, fry two good dishes to try, and I'll invite the shopkeeper." ”
