Chapter 161: Heart-to-Heart

Xiao Qinglang understood instantly, hooked his lips slightly, but said in a solemn tone: "I have been acting in the Three Law Division since I was a child, and I didn't feel that it was necessary to burn the atractylodes soap horn all the time. ”

As he spoke, he leaned over and put his head straight in front of Xu Chu's eyes, gently pinched her cheek, and asked softly, "So you are willing to join me?" In addition, there are several strange skeletons left by foreigners in my study, if you don't dislike it, we will study it carefully in the future? ”

This action caught Xu Chu off guard, and he reflexively wanted to take a step back. But before she could make a move, she felt a force seep through the thick cotton clothes, and then blocked her retreat.

She looked up in amazement, and met a pair of smiling but deep eyes. She blinked, and it wasn't until a muffled laugh came her ears, and her blank mind didn't react. couldn't help but feel that the person who was still full of solemnity and caution just now turned red, and the place he pinched was like a fire.

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "There are still people." ”

"Is it possible to do this when there is no one?" Xiao Qinglang had a rare desire to tease her, he had never found it so interesting to meet someone who made him happy and excited. This taste is like drinking hot soup on a winter day, which makes people's limbs and bones feel comfortable, and then they can't stop it.

Xu Chu glared at her and didn't say anything, obviously really annoyed. Of course, he didn't look at Xiao Mingzhu, who had been dragging the flower without disease, and his eyes were full of bubbles and gossip.

Who the hell actually taught that legendary jade-faced Yama who cherished words like gold and was cold and affectionate? Now this man who casually said such strange love words, isn't he being impersonated?

Xiao Qinglang saw that Xu Chu's eyes were fluttering, but he didn't give a reaction with a tiger face, so he glanced at Hua Wuxian and Xiao Mingzhu meaningfully. Although it was just a glance, Hua Wuxian shivered directly, then reached out and covered Xiao Mingzhu's eyes, and turned to look at the black sky with coaxing.

As for Wei Guang and the others, they had already retreated to the corner of the water pavilion as a background board. Since beating their own prince and showing their love from time to time, they have long been accustomed to looking at eye movements.

Could it be that after being trained by the prince before, Wei Guang and the others were more aware of when to pretend to be invisible.

It was so obvious that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, which caused Xu Chu to glare at him again, but it was still a squinting and smiling face. Xu Chu's face was flushed by him, and even his eyes were a little more shy, which made Xiao Qinglang smile a little deeper.

In fact, Xu Chu was not sweet in his heart, even though he was helpless on his face, but the joy was not fake. As for the ancients' so-called seven-year-old men and women not having the same seat, one is that the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have such strict rules, and the other is that she is the core of modern people after all, and there is no mother to teach her after crossing the Great Zhou Dynasty, so I don't think so.

In her opinion, since they are in love, they treat each other sincerely, and there is no need to be reserved and avoided all the time.

Xiao Qinglang couldn't help but be satisfied when he saw Xu Chu's face red and his ears red. He took her hand and turned around and walked outside the water pavilion, and did not forget to tell the guards to take the body to the morgue where the villa was temporarily found, which was also the place where Xie Niang's body was stored.

"Last night, in order to secretly investigate the situation of several key people in Jinzhou City, the secret guards all stayed with us temporarily. Only Wei Yan rushed back before the mountain collapsed to deliver the letter, so we have limited manpower available now. Xiao Qinglang grabbed Xu Chu's slightly cool fingers into the palm of his hand, slowly rubbed them to warm her, and then explained in a low voice, "Even with the pretending to be a coachman, people and Aunt Chu, there are only nine people we can use." ”

Xu Chu raised her eyebrows and looked sideways, only to see his tight chin, and inexplicably she remembered the feeling of her chin in her hair when she was lying on his chest just now. Even now, she can still remember the feeling of her heart pounding.

"I understand." She naturally understood that this was Xiao Qinglang's explanation to her why he had secret guards and guards by his side, but he still let a murder happen not far away, and they didn't get any news.

There were eight guards, divided into two groups to rest in shifts. That is, there are actually only four people on duty, and among these four people, they also include the people on duty in the bamboo forest behind the house, and Xiao Qinglang's personal guard Wei Guang.

One of the remaining two was guarding outside Xu Chu's room, and the other was guarding outside Xiao Qinglang's door. In this way, he simply did not have the extra manpower to monitor, or even visit, the personnel left in the villa.

Xu Chu secretly shook his fingers with Xiao Qinglang, pursed his lips and said with a light smile: "You don't have to explain these things to me. She paused, her eyebrows curled and she continued, "I'm not a woman who doesn't know the world, so I can naturally understand this. ”

In the darkness and loneliness, between the vast sky and the snow, these two simple sentences made Xiao Qinglang breathe a long sigh of relief. He didn't understand how he couldn't be confident now, for fear that she would be angry or disappointed.

Xiao Qinglang's heart moved, and his eyes became more gentle.

"The two murders in one / night show that the murderer is very eager to kill. If you can't arrest people, I'm afraid that some people will die in vain! ”

Xiao Qinglang saw that Xu Chu once again led the topic to the case, and immediately became a little helpless. This person is really desperate, and he never dares to slack off when investigating the case, even when he is in a hurry, he is bent on being with the file. Before she knew what she meant, he thought he couldn't even match the thin dossier.

But after thinking about it, he was relieved, wasn't he attracted by her focus and caution in dealing with the case at the beginning? Now he is helpless, but he inexplicably has a bit of a grudge.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a dry cough with his eyes wandering. Then he changed his expression slightly, and said: "The murderer started to commit murder after staying overnight in the villa, and before that, he was just intimidating Jin Manshan. From this, it can probably be guessed that either his accomplices were among the people who stayed overnight, or the murderers who really killed were hiding among these people. So as long as no one is allowed to act alone, the chances of the murderer committing the crime can be greatly reduced. ”

"The murderer is acting on the basis of pretending to be a ghost, and daytime is obviously not a good choice, so his next move is likely to be at night."

In other words, they have time tomorrow to investigate and arrange.

After the person was sent back to the room, he left with the autopsy sheet and other items. You know, Song Derong still needs an explanation, even though he didn't find too many clues tonight. But at least we have to stabilize everyone first, and at the same time, let Jin Manshan order to go down and rearrange the inspection of the people in the villa.

Jinzhou City Siyan, now two people have died in one / night. Moreover, the murderer is likely to have a next step, so it is difficult to guarantee that the murderer's next target is not Yinniang......

After returning to the room, Mo said that Xiao Mingzhu, even Xu Chu, who had long been accustomed to running around and tired, was sleepy and dizzy. After a little washing, she took off her coat and lay down on the edge of the bed, trying to close her eyes.

However, before she could breathe steadily, she saw Xiao Mingzhu coming over dishonestly, gossiping and asking strangely: "Sister Chu, don't you usually go to investigate the case yourself after the autopsy?" Why did you obediently let the third uncle send it back after the autopsy tonight? Then go to the hall and ask about those people, you really don't have to worry about it......"

Xu Chu stroked his forehead and groaned, how could he forget this stubble, looking at Xiao Mingzhu who had no heart and lungs, but it was the same living treasure as Hua Wuxi, lest there be any excitement left. Partial birth, obviously a big grinning and sharp temperament, but can often see some clues that others can't see.

Just like now, when she went back to her room to rest and didn't follow Xiao Qinglang's side, if she were someone else, she probably wouldn't think much about it.

In the dim room, she looked up at the top of the bed silently, and took a deep breath before saying quietly: "Your sister Chu is not Iron Man, you can rotate for twelve hours without eating and sleeping." ”

Such a response is so obviously perfunctory, of course Xiao Mingzhu will not be satisfied. She looked at Xu Chu pitifully and blinked, but she didn't respond for a long time, and then she suddenly remembered the black rumbling in the house, even if she blinked her eyes, it was useless to be afraid. So, she wanted to speak again.

But just when she brought her face closer to Xu Chu, she heard Xu Chu's steady breathing, as if she was asleep. She was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Sister Chu didn't seem to have rested for a night these days, even last night because she was frightened and stayed for most of the night.

As for what Sister Chu said about Iron Man, although she didn't know what it was, she could guess the meaning. So, she could only sigh and shake her head in a depressed way.

However, in order not to disturb Xu Chu's rest, she didn't dare to speak more, and only cautiously retreated to the inside of the bed.

Feeling that the person beside him was lying back in his quilt, Xu Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, when she came back, she didn't think much about it. It wasn't until Xiao Qinglang left with the autopsy sheet that she suddenly realized that she was wrong today. It's not that it's wrong, it's that I trust and rely on him more.

In the past, all the cases she investigated and the corpses she examined never borrowed from anyone's hands. The reason for this is not to be wary of suspicion of others, lest someone make a mistake or omit something, or be negligent or even deliberately conceal something.

As for Xiao Qinglang, she didn't hesitate at all tonight.

"There's nothing to worry about, he is the king of Jing'an, the cases he has seen and the murderers he has seen, but he is afraid that he is more than himself, and he doesn't know how to make mistakes." Xu Chu silently read it in his heart, did a little psychological construction, and then fell asleep peacefully for the first time when the murder was not solved.

The weather was very cold, but what was even colder was the people trapped in the hall, it was not that they couldn't leave, it was really what had just happened that made their hearts messy. The paper pierced the man and burned a living person, no matter how you think about it, it can't be artificial.
