Chapter 5 Little is called Hanako
Not long after, as soon as it was settled, Di Chun immediately spit out all the words that were holding in his throat.
"You mean...... Dean was sitting casually leaning on a table, he held his chin with one hand and tapped the table with the other, "The four officials who entered the ancestral temple with Tang County's order all died in Le Nanfang five days ago?" ”
"Yes." Di Chun poured a cup of herbal tea and rubbed the water stains from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve before continuing, "I heard that I lost my life because of the bandits' targeted money." ”
"The sum of the four servants is not much, how can it be worthy of the attention of the thieves?" Dean straightened his body slightly, pondered for a moment, and then continued, "Did they get some ill-gotten gains?" ”
"Hanako, the little guy who sold me the news, said the same thing." Di Chun nodded in agreement.
"Oh?" Dean raised his eyelids, "It seems that guy knows a lot, I'm going to the meeting tomorrow." Let's move on to the second thing, did that butcher Mao Si really go crazy the day after the crime? Have you inquired about his residence? ”
"I went to his residence and inquired again, Mao Si's situation is similar to what the man called Hanako said, not only crazy, but also like the world has evaporated, even the little man named Hanako who resold the news to me didn't know his traces. And according to Mao Si's neighbors, he has no relatives and friends in Wukang, so he doesn't have much to stay in Wukang. Di Chun frowned and said, suddenly punched the ground, and complained angrily: "Bah! What a bad luck! This case is already very weird, and now three clues have been broken as soon as the case is investigated, this, how can this be good! ”
"Di Chun went to call some wine and food, and after a day of running around today, he should have a good drink." Although Di Chun was anxious, Dean still looked calm, not only did he not see a trace of anxiety, but he also yawned lazily.
"Childe!" Although he knew that Di Anding had a countermeasure, Di Chun still couldn't help but ask, "Is there a conspiracy?" ”
"Nope." Dean replied very simply, seeing that Di Chun's eyes were about to dim, he added, "But if you think about it, today is the ninth day after the incident, in other words, we haven't occupied the right time and place, so instead of being afraid of this and worrying about there, it's better to get a good night's sleep." ”
"That is what I said, but ...... Alas! Di Chun still frowned, shook his head and sighed.
After a night of silence, Di Chun dragged Dean out of the warm bed early in the morning, and after some cleaning, Dean was guided by Di Chun to a deserted and dilapidated courtyard.
"You're not mistaken, are you?" Glancing at the empty courtyard, Dean stared at Di Chun and asked.
Di Chun frowned, touched the back of his head, looked left and right for a while, and then assured with certainty: "Absolutely, that guy told me yesterday that if I wanted to buy news, I could just come here to find him, how could I ......?"
"What news do you want to buy?" Before Di Chun could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a deep voice.
Di Chun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then gestured to Di An with a happy face: "Childe, it's him." ”
Dean followed Di Chun's gaze, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was slowly approaching them. Although it was just a face, he swept away his sleepy appearance like a greedy man who had discovered a treasure, and although his eyes were still half-squinted and half-open, the two eyes shot out were sharp and penetrating people's hearts.
Dressed in a shabby coat, full of long hair that is scattered, and the ugly scar on his face, he is really a "perfect" image of a little flower child. Merely...... Interesting!
As if tasting a delicacy, Dean smacked his tongue as he stared at the young man's eyes that were as cold as winter snow.
"We're here today to ask some questions about those four servants." Seeing the young man approaching, Di Chun hurriedly responded.
"A hundred pennies." The young man glanced at Di An, who was a little hanging, and stretched out his hand towards Di Chun.
Di Chun hurriedly took out the copper coin from his arms and put it in the palm of the young man's slender hand.
"Just ask." The young man said lightly while putting away the copper coin.
"How did you know that?" Di Chun just wanted to speak, but was unexpectedly preempted by Dian.
"What?!" Not only was the young man shocked, but even Di Chun looked incredulous, just as puzzled as he was when he first saw Dean asking Hanako to buy news.
He remembered that Dean had told him at the time that these Hanako were very well-informed because they walked the streets all day and there were so many of them. But how did it ...... this time?
"Of course, I inquired about it myself." The corners of the young man's mouth raised slightly, as if he was afraid that the other party would change his words, and quickly blurted out a reply.
"Oh!" Dean nodded with a straight face, and then asked very seriously, "Is it really just you?" ”
"What?!" This time, the teenager was really stunned.
Seeing that the young man did not answer, Dean hurriedly glanced at Di Chun and motioned to take the money out.
Seeing that he was about to take the money again, Di Chun's face couldn't help but flash a hint of urgency. He asked reluctantly, "Childe, aren't we here today to ask about those four fast catchers?" ”
"What's worth asking about those four catchers?" Dean pursed the corners of his lips disdainfully, "He can only tell you that after those four catchers were released from the county government, they went to Lenanfang to spend money to buy fun, and then they were killed for money." Is that worth all the money? ”
After listening to Di'an's words, Di Chun couldn't help but have black lines on his face, and after muttering secretly, he slowly found out a hundred yuan.
When the copper coin arrived, the boy no longer hesitated. He nodded, touched the scar on his face, and said with a somewhat gloomy face, "Of course, who wants to stay with my ugly bastard." ”
"That's right." As if realizing his recklessness, Di'an's gaze softened slightly, and after making a difference to the young man, he said to Di Chun, "Let's go." ”
Di Chun nodded, arched his hand at the young man, and slowly followed Di An.
Not long after he walked out of the small courtyard, Di Chun couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "Childe, have you found anything?" ”
Dean shook his head, speechless.
"So, where do you find out?" Di Chun asked with a thick brow.
Dean pondered for a moment, then motioned for Di Chun to lean away, and after whispering a few words, Di Chun strode away.
As soon as Di Chun left, Dean found a passer-by and asked a few questions, and then strode in one direction. But just after taking a few steps, his steps suddenly stopped, and he quickly glanced back from the corner of his eye, and a figure immediately appeared in his eyes, and the figure was also clever, and as soon as he saw him stop, he immediately turned his body sideways.
After a slight pause, he pretended not to notice anything, and stepped forward again. However, when he was about to pass through an alley, the soles of his feet suddenly accelerated, and in a few steps he jumped into a corner and hid.
The figure following behind did not expect Dian's actions, and rushed up without thinking about it.
"You're really busy enough to track the news just after selling it." Just as the figure was still hesitating which direction to take, Dian's voice sounded behind him.
