Chapter 322: Suspicious
"I didn't expect you to be here." Mr. Peng turned the teacup in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the person in front of him.
"I didn't expect you to be here." The man on the other side was holding his beard, looking like an old god was there.
Then there was silence, even though Huzi, who was standing behind Mr. Peng, did not say a word. Sitting opposite the father and son at the door of the ghost house was Fu Daoren.
After a while, Fu Daoren sighed lightly and said, "What do you want to do when you come to me and don't speak?" There is nothing worth enjoying in Ping'an Fort, you should not be here to enjoy the scenery, right? ”
"I don't want to come either," Mr. Peng said with a wry smile, "I also want to draw talismans on the Sun Hill and tidy up the vegetable garden." I was entrusted by someone to investigate a matter and show people what was going on. ”
"Since you have something important to do," Fu Daoren nodded slightly, got up and walked to the door, "You didn't come to me on purpose, then I won't keep you any longer." If there is a chance in the future, let's catch up with the old days. Please. ”
Mr. Peng sat there without moving, his head was not raised, and his face was expressionless: "I don't want to leave yet, after so many years of friendship, sit a little longer, you won't drive me away, right?" ”
"Not really." Fu Daoren laughed and sat back opposite Mr. Peng, "In this case, it's not a matter of just sitting, let's talk about it, what tricky things you can't handle, and you still have to ask me to help?" ”
"How long have you been at Ping'an Fort?" Mr. Peng asked.
Fu Daoren thought for a while and replied, "Almost, three months younger." ”
"The timing is right." Huzi suddenly interjected, with a bit of smugness in his tone.
"A child has been missing in Ping'an Fort recently, and it's only been a matter of the past two or three months." Mr. Peng said, "I came twice. After the first inspection, they didn't think it was the work of demons and monsters, so they asked them to report the matter to the government. Not long after, a child disappeared from the world in a closed room, which was not an ordinary method, so they invited me back. ”
"You doubt me?" Fu Daoren's face became gloomy.
"Don't get me wrong, I never doubted you." Mr. Peng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It's Chief Tian who thinks you're too suspicious." A foreigner, who rents a house outside the town and lives for two or three months, is just in time for the town to lose a child, and it makes sense to check and find your head. ”
Fu Daoren snorted coldly and didn't say anything.
Mr. Peng began to turn the teacup again: "I have some guesses about this matter, but I haven't done it for sure yet. The land guards checked the outsiders this time, and it was also my idea. Isn't that what you're looking for? It's just that I'm curious, what are you doing here? ”
Fu Daoren gently put his hand on his waist: "Are you still doubting me?" ”
Seeing Fu Daoren's movements, Huzi also pressed the handle of the knife down, and took half a step back with his right foot, making a posture that he could draw the knife at any time. He knew that Fu Daoren had a soft sword, which was hidden in his belt. He put his hand on his waist, ready to do it. That's why Huzi made such precautions.
Mr. Peng was indifferent, took a sip of the teacup, and slowly put it down: "I just said, I never doubted you, but there are some things I care about." ”
"What do you care?" Fu Daoren's hand still didn't leave the soft sword.
"You've been in Kanto for a while, haven't you?" Mr. Peng said with a smile, "It is not a good place to go out of the Shan Customs, and the monks in the customs should not go outside the customs, this is a customary rule." It's just that it is absolutely impossible for a disciple to cross the Shanhaiguan, and the monks in the pass are not outside the pass, and they rely more on their realization. ”
"If you have something to say, let it go." Fu Daoren's voice became more and more gloomy.
"I want to know what you're going to do when you get there." Mr. Peng's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, "In a blink of an eye, three years, this is not like your temperament." What are the demons and monsters that are worth your stay in Kanto for three years? He even rented a house in Changtu Province for a long time, as if he was going to settle here. ”
"It's my own business." Fu Daoren suddenly relieved his strength, and his hand was taken away from the soft sword, "It's enough for you to take care of yourself, and you don't need to interfere in my affairs." Be careful in your work, don't ask me to take the evidence that you are traitors, otherwise I will definitely do the right thing for heaven and accept you foreign demons. ”
Mr. Peng nodded, stood up and clenched his fists: "So, disturb." Huzi, let's go. ”
Huzi hesitated a little, stretched out his finger and pointed at Fu Daoren just about to speak, Mr. Peng coughed and held back the words in Huzi's mouth. Huzi was helpless, so he could only glare at Fu Daoren fiercely and follow behind Mr. Peng. When the father and son went out, Fu Daoren's voice came from inside the door: "Let's go, don't send it!" ”
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Huzi quickly picked up Mr. Peng and stood side by side with him, "There is definitely something wrong with Fu Daoren, we can't just let him go." ”
Listening to the complaining meaning in Huzi's tone, Mr. Peng smiled and shook his head slightly: "It's not him, this matter should have nothing to do with him." ”
"What about the evidence?" Huzi's voice was a little higher, "Dad, we can't think of one out of one." Among these outsiders, if you count carefully, you can count this Fu Daoist as the most suspicious. Speaking of which, the Five Ghosts carry Dafa, or some kind of wall-piercing technique, I'm afraid he should be able to do it, right? Didn't I guess that Fu Daoren was an 'Immortal Master'? Now is a good time to confront him, and you can't let go so easily. ”
Mr. Peng restrained his smile, patted Huzi on the shoulder, and said, "Huzi, can you believe me or not?" ”
"I can trust you," Huzi replied hurriedly, "but I can't trust ......."
"If you can trust me." Mr. Peng didn't let Huzi finish his words, "This matter has nothing to do with Fu Daoren, so there is no need to suspect him." If you don't say that he did evil, or that he is the so-called 'immortal master', you have to show evidence. If you want me to say, this matter has to start from the lying Bai Wuye. ”
Seeing that Mr. Peng was determined to defend Fu Daoren, Huzi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, after all, he didn't have the ruthlessness to turn his head and go back to fight with Fu Daoren, and followed Mr. Peng with his head drooping.
Mr. Peng's right hand went around the back of Huzi and reached out to tug at his braid: "Raise your head, bow your head and bend over, that is the posture of a slave walking, let's sit upright." ”
Huzi made some movement in his nostrils, didn't make any response, and followed Mr. Peng back to the only inn in town.
"How's it going, gentlemen?" As soon as Huzi and Mr. Peng entered the store, Tian Baochang, who was waiting in the hall, hurriedly greeted him, "Is that old man with a bull's nose just stealing children?" You nod, I'll tie him up and escort him to the government!" ”
"Tian Bao sat down." Mr. Peng took Tian Baochang's arm and sat down, "Coincidentally, that Taoist priest and I are old acquaintances, and he is also a capable person who knows the five elements of yin and yang, and can catch ghosts and subdue demons." People are disciples of Longhu Mountain, and the inheritance of decency must not be the cultivation of any evil sect exercises, which requires the lives of children. I understand this person's heart, and he would not do such a thing as child abduction and trafficking under any circumstances. ”
"Ah...... That's really a coincidence...... "Tian Baochang's expression fell again, "But we don't have any outsiders in Ping'an Fort?" That's all, counting the villages below, you know it all. If this Taoist priest is not, then who else is? ”
Mr. Peng didn't know how to comfort him. As the chief of the guard, and the first seat of the Xiangxian Hall, such a thing happened in the town, and I think that in addition to those who have lost their children, he should be the most anxious.
"Mr. Peng and Mr. Xiao Peng are busy," Tian Baochang stood up on his knees and sighed, "Hey...... It's not a way to let the two of you spend so much. I have asked the fairy family, and the fairy family said that it was a thief, so it is not something that the two gentlemen can manage. It's not early now, so we'll stay another night tonight, and I'll send you back tomorrow morning. ”
Tian Baochang is now disheartened, he is thinking about resigning from the position of the security chief, whoever can solve the case of the lost child in the town, this security chief will let whoever becomes.
"Actually, it's not completely without clues." Mr. Peng said.
After Mr. Peng finished saying this, Tian Baochang didn't come back to his senses, and nodded in response: "Yes, there is no clue at all in the headless case, and no one can find out." ”
After the words were finished, Tian Baochang was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Huh! Mr. Peng, what did you just say? ”
Mr. Peng smiled: "I just said: 'Actually, it's not completely without clues. ’”
"This ......" Tian Baochang was so happy that he didn't know what to say, just a strong Mr. Kwa Peng, "They all said that Mr. Peng, you have the ability, that is really a good ability!" It's been months since we were at a loss, Mr. Peng, and now that you've seen it, you've come up with a clue. Tell me about the news that you have found your child? Which foreigner did it? ”
Huzi also looked at Mr. Peng, and said in his heart that he and Mr. Peng had been together, and he hadn't figured out anything, so why did Mr. Peng say that there was a clue? Is it just to say something beautiful and give this Tian Bao Chang relief? No, my father is not like that!
Mr. Peng waved his hand, let Tian Baochang sit down, and said, "Speaking of which, I still heard it from Bai Wuye, you were there at the time, but I guess you didn't understand it, and the explanation is a bit messy, so I'll make a long story short." Before, I thought that this thing might be done by outsiders, but then after listening to Bai Wuye's words, I took the list you gave me to visit these outsiders in the past two days, and now it seems that this thing was not done by outsiders. ”
Tian Baochang was shocked when he heard this, first screamed, then lowered his voice, and leaned forward to ask: "You mean to say that this is our local who has done such a unconscionable thing?" ”
Mr. Peng thought for a moment and nodded: "The same can be said for the other time." ”
