Chapter 4: The stall owner's words

The streets were empty, with few pedestrians, but they were no different from usual. Although there was a murder not long ago, it did not have any impact on the local population.

When Qian Ye came to the street, it was just right, if it was a little late, I was afraid that the stall selling fish soup would also be closed.

"Boss, two bowls of fish soup." As soon as she sat on the bench, she couldn't wait to open her mouth.

The fish soup seller is a middle-aged man in his thirties, who has been setting up a stall on the street for some years. For Qianye, he also recognizes it. Occasionally, when she was hungry at night, she would come to her door and buy a bowl to eat. But since the bean paste buns came to the house, there have been fewer comes.

"Ah Ye catches quickly, I haven't seen you for some days." The man quickly scooped out the fish soup from the pot and served her two bowls.

The boss's fish soup is not colored with soy sauce, so the soup is milky white, the fish meat is tender, and then sprinkled with a small handful of finely chopped shallots, not to mention how good the taste is.

"It's a busy day." Qian Ye said as he put one of the bowls in front of the bean paste bun. The bowls bought for it at home alone are already stacked high. Next time you go out, buy a wooden bowl and carry it on its back at any time. "Boss, is your business okay lately?"

"Not bad." The boss glanced at the bean paste bun and said with a smile. "The weather is getting warmer, and more people come out to eat fish soup at night."

"Oh. By the way, you've been setting up a stall on this street lately, and you've seen unfamiliar faces appear. Picking up a spoon and scooping the fish soup to eat, Qianye asked casually.

The boss frowned, thought about it carefully, and said, "There was one about six or seven days ago. It was a small man who came to me for a bowl of fish soup and left. Oh yes. He was accompanied by a woman wearing a hood. ”

"Oh? Please recall carefully what kind of man he was. When did you come here? ”

The boss recalled carefully and said, "I only remember that I am not tall, wearing an indigo robe, and my appearance is very ordinary." Looking at the sky, it seems to be the beginning of the year. I remember that my husband happened to be walking down the street and knocking on the stick. ”

"What about the woman?"

"The woman was wearing a hood, and she couldn't see clearly. However, the two of them sat here together and ate fish soup. Later, it seemed that the woman said where to let the man wait for her, saying that she had something to do and would come later. By the way, the man called the woman Xiaoqian. ”

"Yes. It sounds like a young man and a woman going out for a tryst! ”

After listening to Qianye, the boss smiled ambiguously and said, "It's spring, so naturally everything starts to move." ”

"Hehe, that's what I said."

After eating the fish soup, I paid for the bowl along with the money. Qian Ye carried the featureless white porcelain bowl and walked towards home with the bean paste bag. I've been staying in Yizhuang these days, and I haven't slept well at home for several days.

What was once a haunted house is now a cozy little home. There were other homes nearby, and the alley gradually became lively. After pushing open the door, Qian Ye threw himself directly onto the bed, and without even changing his clothes, he fell into a deep sleep. Although she used to be able to sleep peacefully anywhere when she was a SWAT, during the years of hard training in the mountains, she could also find a place to sleep. But in the past few months, I have been used to sleeping on soft beds, and the cold and hard floor of Yizhuang is a little unsuitable.

Recalling his previous life, Qian Ye hooked his lips and let himself sink into sleep.

The bean paste bag was also very sleepy, lying down in his nest, his little head resting on his paws, and gradually fell asleep. In the post house, Shangguan Mingxin, Zhao Ning and Dr. Zhou were sitting in the room eating noodles, while the other two had already been sent to sleep first.

"What do you think about this case?"

Doctor Zhou put down the dishes and chopsticks, frowned, and said, "According to the lower officials, this case must be committed by an acquaintance." Depending on the length and depth of the wound, it is more likely to have been inflicted by a dagger. Generally speaking, only people close to you will be so close. Moreover, I carefully observed the direction of the knife and made a bold guess that the wound might have been caused by the woman. ”

"Oh?" Shangguan Mingxin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Zhao Ning, what do you think?" ”

"According to the previous experience of the lower officials, if it was really a woman's doing, it was very likely to be a love killing. It's just that the lower official is puzzled, the psychedelic ...... "Moreover, why did this person who does not belong to Lecheng appear on the bank of a river in Lecheng, and it was still at night." If you don't have an appointment, you won't go alone. Perhaps, this murderer is the person who made the appointment. After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Ning informed the two of them of his guess.

What Zhao Ning said is extremely true. If you don't have an appointment, you will never go out at night. Now, the first thing is to find out who this person is. After Shangguan Mingxin finished speaking, he took a sip of hot tea. Do you two think that today's boy named Qianye is interesting? ”

After Zhao Erren glanced at each other, Zhao Ning was puzzled: "Isn't it just an ordinary catcher, why are adults so curious?" ”

"Do you think 'he' is just a simple catcher? Just ask, which ordinary catcher can stop Li Qiang's offensive. ”

Among the six doors, although Li Qiang's kung fu is not outstanding, a knife is extremely fast. Often with this not excellent knife technique, but can quickly hit the opponent under the knife. But today, in the face of this thin teenager, he unexpectedly missed. And this person actually stayed in Yizhuang all night, and his courage was extraordinary, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people! The Six Gates are at a time when there is a shortage of people, if this person is under his command......

"By the way, what is that Fusang knife that the adults said?"

Shangguan Mingxin glanced at Zhao Ning lightly and said, "It is a weapon of the Fusang people, the blade is very strong, and it emphasizes the ability to quickly defeat the enemy. "He had also seen it a long time ago, after all, this is Great Xia, and there is not much intersection between this dynasty and Fusang, although he can't see the style of Fusang people in the capital.

"That young man can't use another country's weapon! I just don't know what 'his' martial arts are, I really want to see it! Zhao Ning couldn't help but be fascinated, it was also a good thing to be able to see the martial arts that were different from Daxia!

"I saw that although the young man's steps were gentle, he didn't seem to have any internal strength, and he just learned some kung fu and knew some knife skills. If you want to ask for a lesson or two, you can do it tomorrow. But note that this time I came to Lecheng for the sake of the case, don't make trouble. ”

"Xiaguan Province. Tomorrow, I'll ask the people in the yamen to see where this Qianye came from. ”

Shangguan Mingxin bowed his head lightly and said, "By the way, go to the riverbank and walk for a while." Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes. I want to be the chief catcher for all these years, but it is the second time that I have seen the six doors and people have not been afraid. ”

"When the adults said that, I thought it was strange! This Qianye doesn't seem to have any special feelings for these six doors. Think about it, every time we go out to handle a case, when people hear that we are from six doors, they either feel disgusted, or they retreat, as if they are afraid of getting into some trouble. Look at it, none of us look fierce and vicious, why are we so scary! ”

Hearing Zhao Ning's slightly childish words, Dr. Zhou couldn't help grinning. "In the end, it's still a child's heart, the court, and even the people, who sees us unguarded. Especially those who have committed crimes, for fear of being caught by us. People outside say that we are the eagle dogs of the imperial court, not very good. Go out hunting, this rabbit catcher, especially the eagle dog is the first to bear it! My lord, I think that kid is good, bold, and good-looking, and looks much more pleasing to the eye than Leng Ze. If you sit at a table and eat, in front of such a pleasing face, this is also satisfying. I don't want to face Leng Zexian, who looks like someone owes him money forever. ”

Leng Zexian is actually called Leng Zexian, but because he always has a cold face, and his appearance is not as pleasing to Shangguan Ming's eyes, people gave him such a name. As for Shangguan Mingxin, as the chief catcher of the six gates, unless the people under his command don't want to die, who dares to call him a nickname.

"Doctor Zhou, if I go back and tell Leng Ze about this matter first, he will definitely appear in front of you every day." This coldness has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, holding grudges. If you provoke him, annoyance can annoy you to death.

Speaking of all of you in the Six Doors, the fatigue of everyone's body and mind seems to have dissipated a lot. They stayed until the wee hours of the morning before they went to sleep.

Shangguan Mingxin was lying on the bed, and a delicate face unexpectedly appeared in his mind.
