If you just look at the appearance, Pei Shu is definitely not vicious, at least much worse than the owner of the "Iron Knife Gate" in Jinan City known by the pig's head, and the body of the door master is far stronger than Pei Shu, and the knife in his hand is even brighter and terrifying.

But on the contrary, the pig's head is afraid.

Although his face is not eye-catching, the facial features of the man in front of him are cold and indifferent, and he just stands there casually, without having to show his knife or body, and his body exudes a cold air, which is so cold that the soles of his feet are shaking, and he can't wait to run away.

"Alright, then the pig's head and the little monkey will stay." Chen Ying smiled at this time, and walked over to pat the horse monkey's head: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Ma Monkey was more familiar with her, and she was well-informed, so she didn't seem scared at this time, but her expression was a little depressed, her face collapsed, her shoulders collapsed, and she whispered: "Principal Chen, the little one has messed up the errand." ”

He lowered his head, and his words were full of chagrin and remorse: "I complain that the little one didn't keep an eye on people, and somehow he actually died. ”

The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, and he felt extremely remorseful in his heart.

Although Tang Xiucai hanged himself, it was because they didn't find the signs in advance, and they didn't know that he was going to die. As the leader of this group, Ma Monkey felt that he was guilty.

He remembered that Commander Ye said that if a team of people made a mistake, the leader had to bear it, which was called "bearing". Now that Tang Xiucai is dead, he has to bear the fault of this ineffective stalking, and he can't blame others.

"You've done your best, and it's hard for you to do this." Chen Ying said in harmony.

A group of half-grown children who have not received professional training have followed Tang Xiucai into Beijing all the way, and they have not lost anyone along the way, and they have also made their recent movements clear, this is already a super-level performance, and she has no harsh criticism of them.

Seeing that Chen Ying's attitude was always soft, Ma Monkey relieved himself a little, touched the back of his head and said, "It's good that the principal doesn't blame the little one." ”

Chen Ying waved his hand, pulled him to sit separately from the pig's head, skipped this topic, and asked the pig's head first: "What did Tang Xiucai do on the day he hanged himself, you tell me carefully." ”

"Good students say, don't leave anything out." Pei Shu added on the side.

The very deep voice, listening to Chen Ying's ears, was a low string of alcohol, but the pig's head listened to it, and his heart was even more panicked.

This black-faced man was already strange and scary, but now this sound more and more like a threat, so he couldn't help but be nervous.

"Yes...... Yes, Principal Chen. The pig's head swallowed dryly, his throat was astringent and itchy, and his tongue was not very sharp: "I ...... I...... I just stared at Tang Xiu that day, I ......"

"You speak slowly, don't be afraid." Chen Ying said softly, took out a small paper bag from his sleeve, opened it, but it turned out to contain a few pine nut candy: "Eat a piece of candy, sweets will help stabilize your mood." ”

The pig's head listened incomprehensibly, and his mind was led by the candy at all, and he reached out to take it, but retracted it, and glanced at Pei Shu timidly.

"Eat, eat, Principal Chen is fine." Ma Monkey has seen some of the world, although he also thinks Pei Shu is scary, but he is not so afraid, and takes a piece of candy and stuffs it into the pig's mouth.

Chen Ying handed over the whole bag of sugar, and said with a warm smile: "Take it all, I also brought a lot of food, and I will give it to you when I finish talking later." ”

The pig's head took the candy cube in his mouth, and the sweet, icy taste immediately grabbed all his attention. He squinted and felt it, but he really forgot about Pei Shu.

Seeing that he was only concerned about eating, Ma Monkey lowered his face and stabbed him hard with his elbow: "Tell me quickly, Principal Chen is still waiting." ”

Only then did the pig head come back to his senses, and while sucking and eating sugar, he said: "When it was almost midnight that day, Tang Xiucai went out, and the little one quietly followed him until he reached Tongluo Lane in the south of the city, where there was a hot noodle soup restaurant, and Tang Xiucai sometimes went over to eat noodle soup." ”

"Does he go regularly?" Chen Ying interjected and asked, afraid that he wouldn't understand, and explained, "I mean, he usually goes every few days?" ”

The pig's head was stunned, but the horse monkey replied quickly: "I remember that the days when Tang Xiucai went were uncertain, sometimes two or three days apart, sometimes five or six days apart. ”

"Are you sure?" Chen Ying was a little skeptical.

It's not that she doesn't believe in the horse monkey, but she really feels that with the few words that this little guy knows, I'm afraid she can't write down such complicated information.

The horse monkey smiled and said, "The little one remembers this." Commander Ye gave the small one a few pieces of yellow calendar paper, and the little one made a mark on it every day. ”

"Yellow calendar?" Chen Ying was stunned, and then her heart was overjoyed, and she hurriedly asked, "Is it the kind of yellow calendar specially made by the girls' school?" ”

Ma Hou'er nodded immediately: "Back to Principal Chen, it's the kind of yellow calendar paper, Commander Ye gave the little one half a year's yellow calendar, and taught the little one to read and write, and the little one drew a mark on it." ”

Chen Ying bowed her head happily: "This method is very good, you are very smart." ”

The yellow calendar paper mentioned by Ma Monkey is actually a special monthly calendar made by the girls' school, one per month, which is similar to the modern desk calendar.

Originally, Chen Ying used it as a memorization, but when everyone saw that it was simple, they all followed suit, and the simple version of the calendar became popular in girls' schools, and Ye Qing also had a few copies there.

"Commander Ye told the little one that a good memory is better than a bad pen, and it is more stable to remember it on paper than in your head, so the small one will do it." The horse monkey gestured, and asked with wide eyes: "Little one, will I bring the yellow calendar paper to you to see?" ”

"Okay, show it to me." Chen Ying said with a smile.

With this thing, you will have an intuitive feeling about Tang Xiucai's whereabouts during this time.

The horse and monkey ran out of the house, and after a while, he turned around, presented the calendar paper, and pointed to the various marks on it and explained: "Principal Chen, if you draw a bowl on it, it is the day when Tang Xiucai went to eat noodle soup." ”

Chen Ying swept his eyes, indeed, judging from the records, the time when Tang Xiucai ate soup noodles was not fixed.

She put the calendar aside and continued to ask the pig head: "You go on, Tang Xiucai went to eat noodle soup, and then what?" ”

The pig's head twisted his eyebrows and recalled for a moment, and then said: "He ate two bowls of noodle soup in that noodle restaurant, and then he came out to wander around the alley to eat, and the little one followed him all the time, and he didn't see him talk to anyone, nor did he see him running around the door or anything, so he walked around the alley alone, and then went home again." ”

"If you think about it, what's so unusual about this?" Chen Ying's voice was soft, inducing him to recall carefully: "No matter how small or inconspicuous it is, as long as you can think of it, tell me." ”
