Chapter 243: Caught in the Fog

After eating, Xiaoping went to the bank to withdraw 10,000 yuan, and said to the begging mother and daughter: "Quickly put the money away, I suggest that you two go back to your hometown, after all, there are relatives, friends, and neighbors in your hometown, and you should take care of each other." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info begging outside, it's miserable to run into bad guys. ”

The old beggar said gratefully, "You two are the life-savers of our mother and daughter." ”

After sending off the mother and daughter who were begging for food, Xiaoping and I found a teahouse and sat and talked.

I said with a sad face: "This pair of begging mother and daughter has broken all my original assumptions. Now, Xiao Liuzhuang's ghost case has become a mystery again. ”

"Yes. originally thought that the begging mother and daughter drove a ghost car to take revenge on Xiao Liuzhuang, but now, this mother and daughter have been resurrected again. Xiaoping squinted at me and sneered: "Brother Liang, I thought you had a lot of brains, but it turned out to be a pig's head." ”

I awkwardly retorted, "My original reasoning is not unreasonable, it's just ......."

"Just what?" Xiaoping pursed her lips and said mockingly: "Wrong, I don't want to admit it yet, I have to die to save face and suffer the crime." ”

I smiled awkwardly and said, "Ghost cases are usually very strange, and it's normal to turn a few corners. If the ghost case is so easy to solve, we professionals don't need it. ”

Xiaoping squinted at me and asked, "Brother Liang, you have turned two corners in Xiao Liuzhuang's ghost case." First doubted the dead ghost man of the little widow, and then doubted the mother and daughter who were begging for food. God knows how many more turns you'll make. ”

"It's normal to make two or three turns." I said wryly.

Xiaoping asked, "You say: What should I do next?" ”

"As planned. I've already made an agreement with Zhaofeng Ear that tonight, I'll take a ghost car ride to the female ghost's lair to find out. I thought: when I get to the lair of the female ghost, there will be unexpected gains. ”

Xiaoping frowned and said: "Anyway, one thing is certain, that is: the ghost case of Xiao Liuzhuang is related to a mother and daughter. ”

"Yes." I chimed in: "It's definitely about a mother and daughter, and this judgment can't be wrong." ”

"Is there a mother and daughter begging for food?" Xiaoping asked faintly.

I pursed my lips and said, "Xiaoping, don't keep going around on the issue of begging women, I think: this mother and daughter should be directly related to Liu Laosan, or should they be investigated in the circle of Liu Laosan's activities." ”

"The circle of my uncle's activities is nothing more than Xiaoliuzhuang and the construction site, just these two places." Xiaoping said with certainty.

I agreed: "You're right, you should look for clues in these two places. I think: Xiao Liuzhuang has basically been checked here, you think: If your uncle has something to do with another mother and daughter in Xiao Liuzhuang, he can't escape the eyes of the villagers. ”

"Yes. Now, it's time to keep your eyes on construction sites. Xiaoping said.

I suddenly remembered Liu Laosan's stack of IOUs.

"Xiaoping, do you remember a woman named Sister-in-law Tian?" I asked excitedly.

"Sister-in-law Tian? I don't know this person. Xiaoping replied.

I prompted: "Xiaoping, after your uncle died, when we were cleaning up the relics, we found a large stack of IOUs, have you forgotten?" ”

"I didn't forget. Is there anything wrong with an IOU? Xiaoping asked disapprehantly.

I pondered and said, "That stack of IOUs has just been returned, and I'm a little strange: according to what I have learned, your uncle hasn't been out for the past ten and a half months, could it be that the person named Sister-in-law Tian came to ask for debts?" If it was really Sister-in-law Tian who came to ask for debts, she should have met people in the village, right? ”

Xiaoping agreed: "Yes." Xiao Liuzhuang will easily not have outsiders coming, once a stranger enters the village, it will be very eye-catching, and no one will see it. ”

I thought about it for a while, and said to Xiaoping: "As soon as we go back to the village, we will ask around if there is a strange woman who has entered the village recently." ”

Xiaoping raised her eyebrows and said, "There is a grocery store at the entrance of Xiaoliuzhuang's village, and the shopkeeper opens the door at dawn and closes after dark for a while. ”

"Do you know this shopkeeper?" I asked.

"Of course I did, his name was Slugg, and he was also a bachelor.

I grinned and said, "Xiao Liu Zhuang is really interesting, almost every bachelor has a nickname, what garlic nose, provocative ears, slug, it's really funny." ”

"There are many nicknames and nicknames, which shows that the villagers of Xiaoliuzhuang are very humorous and funny."

"This slug runs a small shop, he should have a little money, why can't he marry a wife?" I asked curiously.

Xiaoping replied: "The small shop of slugs has only been open for half a year, that is, it sells some needles and threads, and I don't think I can make much money." Do you know that now you can get 100,000 yuan to marry a daughter-in-law? ”

I stuck out my tongue and said, "Good boy, it's 100,000, no wonder there are so many bachelors." ”

"100,000 yuan is worth sticking out your tongue?" Xiaoping said disdainfully.

"I'm sticking out my tongue from the villagers' standpoint." I argued.

Xiaoping asked: "In our city, how much does it cost to marry a wife, do you know?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "At least a million." ”

Xiaoping snorted and said, "One million is only enough to buy a small house, if you add a car, etc., you can't get off the ground without one and a half million." ”

"It seems that I, a poor ghost, want to fight Bachelor Luo." I pretended to be depressed.

Xiaoping pursed her lips and said mockingly: "A man like you who doesn't take money seriously deserves to be beaten as a single." ”

"If you beat a single, you will beat a single, it's not a big deal." I said nonchalantly.

Xiaoping and I were talking, when suddenly, a person walked into the teahouse.

This person walked straight up to me and Xiaoping and said respectfully, "Honorable guest, I am the owner of the hotel, thank you two for visiting my hotel." Just now, I forgot to give the two business cards. ”

The boss said, handing over a business card with both hands.

"Oh, thank you." I also took the business card with both hands.

Suddenly, a question came to mind. That is: Xiao Liuzhuang's fat sister-in-law is already very disgusted with me and Xiaoping, and maybe one day she will turn us away, so I have to think about the "job".

I asked, "Do you deliver food at this restaurant?" ”

"Food can be delivered within the town." The boss replied.

"Will Xiao Liu Zhuang send it?" I asked.

"Xiao Liu Zhuang?" The boss hesitated and asked, "Do you two live in Xiaoliuzhuang?" ”

"The two of us are running errands in Xiaoliuzhuang, so we have to stay there for a while." I replied.

The boss was a little embarrassed, he thought for a while, and said: "Under normal circumstances, our restaurant does not deliver food to the countryside, but you two are an exception, we can make an exception." ”

"You promised to deliver food." I asked overjoyed.

The boss nodded affirmatively and added: "Yes, you can send it, but the price of the order cannot be less than fifty yuan, otherwise, we will lose money." ”

"Okay, it's a deal!" I said happily.
