Chapter 4 Doubts
(A word for friends, because the previous plot seems to have a lot of dialogue, the author can't distort the plot content of the game.) I hope my friends can be patient and watch. I promise that the plot behind it will be as wonderful as possible. I'm sorry. )
In the neat hut, Yuanchen was lying on the bed with his arms on his pillows, recalling that day Fangcun Mountain was frozen and a week had passed, and the plan in his mind must find the senior brother, but in the vast sea of people, it was not easy to find a person, thinking of these tedious things, Yuanchen let out a long breath. He sat up violently and thought to himself: "It's better to solve the benefactor's matter first." ”
Yuanchen slowly straightened up his somewhat sour body, and walked straight to Li Shanren's room.
The dark night made it difficult for Yuanchen to move an inch, and if it weren't for the guidance of the table lamp in the distance, there would be no way to find out. The noise of the day, the darkness and silence of the night, some towering trees, occasionally chirping a few cicadas, look very mysterious.
Approaching Li Shanren's room, a black shadow shone through the light in the window, Yuanchen kicked open the locked door, Yuanchen's eyes illuminated by the light could not see the face of the black shadow clearly, Yuanchen grabbed his arm and twisted it backhand, his right foot exerted force, the black shadow fell to the ground in response, and his arm also howled in pain because of Yuanchen's strength.
"Don't don't, don't kill me," the black shadow cried.
Yuanchen felt that the voice was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, and twisted half of the black shadow's head with one hand to look at it intently, "Ah, it's Steward Li." ”
"Steward Li, I don't know it's you, what are you doing here" Yuanchen immediately let go, and in the brightly lit hall, his tense mood suddenly became guilty.
After Steward Li saw that it was Yuanchen, he exhaled heavily, patted his heaving chest, and said slowly: "Fortunately, you are not the man in black, otherwise today, my little life may have to be explained here." Yuanchen scratched his head in embarrassment, seeing that Steward Li had not rested so late, he couldn't help but suspect Steward Li. He asked in a low voice, "Steward Li, it's so late now, why don't you go to rest?" ”
Steward Li sat on the chair and sighed, "I have been working in the master's house for nearly thirty years, and the master's body has always been very weak and poor. Since the master was not feeling well last night, I helped him back to his room to rest after leaving your room. At that time, the master of the watch in Jianye City had knocked on the third watch, I was about to continue sleeping, but I found that there were footsteps upstairs in the master's house, I didn't wear shoes and immediately ran to the door of the master's house, and saw that there were candles lit inside, and saw a black shadow through the screen, but he seemed to hear someone coming and immediately jumped out of the window to escape, I rushed into the room to see, only to find that the treasure chest where the master stored his money was gone, and it contained almost all the savings that the master had worked hard to earn back at sea. I am also very distressed. I'm still tossing and turning back and forth, and I don't sleep at all. Come and walk around the living room and find inspiration."
After listening to Steward Li's story, Yuanchen felt a little guilty, after all, people were worried about the master's money and seemed to be very reasonable, he groaned for a while, and said, I want to go to Mr. Li's room to have a look, I don't know if the housekeeper can be accommodating.
Steward Li nodded and stretched out his hand to Li Shanren's room
Yuanchen came up to Li Shanren's room and observed the surrounding furnishings, there seemed to be no traces of intrusion, and there were no suspicious footprints in the room.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The sky is high and dry, be careful of the candles. The voice of the master resounded in Yuanchen's ears. It's now the fourth watch, so don't get in the way of others sleeping. I'm asking them tomorrow, and I must find out the truth as soon as possible, and give them an explanation. Yuanchen disappeared into the night with quiet steps.
"Shaoxia, get up and change your clothes and eat early" A rough voice echoed in Yuanchen's ears.
Yuanchen opened his sleepy eyes and saw a sturdy man with thick eyebrows and big ears and full cheeks whispering to Yuanchen on the side of the bed to get up and eat breakfast. However, Yuan Chen was suspicious in his heart, as if he hadn't seen the person in front of him when he came here. A trace of surprise flashed in Yuanchen's eyes, but before he could speak, the middle-aged man seemed to see through the doubts in his heart.
put breakfast on the table, came to Yuanchen's bedside, signaled not to get up, and said angrily: "I have lost my parents since I was a child, and the lord saw that I was pitiful, and took me in as a family buddy. The old man was kind, brave and resourceful when he was young, started from scratch, established a huge family business, and after becoming well-known in the city, not only was he ungrateful, but he also did good deeds and accumulated virtues, and was kind and charitable. The whole family and even Jianye City respect the lord very much, due to his age, his body has been good, but it has become worse and worse since last year, and now he has been hit by this blow, which is really distressing, angry with the thief, I hope that the young man can catch the thief as soon as possible, let him float, and give the master a justice. ”
There are no words for each other, only sighing for a thousand deaths. Layers of suspicion are hiding behind the light of truth, and if you want to break his darkness in one fell swoop, you must enter the mystery. "There must be something important happening that night," Yuan Chen said silently in his heart.
"Fu Quan, the boss of the troupe told you to return the stick to him." A housekeeper pushed the door open and shouted. found that Yuanchen was still in bed and asked, "Shaoxia, did you sleep well last night?" ”
"Very good, thank you for taking care of me."
After Fu Quan left, Yuan Chen vaguely heard the conversation between Jia Ding and Fu Quan before going out to leave, "The scene that made trouble in the Heavenly Palace that day was really good-looking. That Sun Wukong's performance is really vivid, especially the Erlang God Yang Jian and Sun Wukong's fighting method and the part where 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals capture Sun Wukong. I still remember that. ”
When I heard that he was once the senior brother of the legendary disciple of Fangcun Mountain, I proudly walked over and wanted to say to them that Sun Wukong was my senior brother. However, he suddenly stopped.
"What day is it?" "It's the day when the lord's money is stolen, and almost every family has arrived." ”
Yuanchen's eyes blinked slightly, the truth seemed to be about to surface, could it be that the murderer wanted to take advantage of the attraction of that good show, and those who took advantage of the weakness to leave the scene early may be suspicious, and it is not a way to blindly look for it like this. Let's go to the stage and have a look.
In Jianye City, where thousands of people are empty, Yuanchen hurried to the door of a big house with light steps. A long red carpet was laid out in front of the door, and there were some wooden boxes of masks around it, so this must have been the venue for the performance that day.
"Knock knock" Yuanchen knocked lightly on the door.
After the door was opened, Yuan Chen was stunned to see the man in front of him, it was an extremely beautiful man, with black hair like ink scattered behind him, long eyebrows like willows, his face was like a carved facial features, handsome and abnormal, he was simply a bewitching beautiful man. Yuanchen shook his head helplessly, "Brother Tai, I came to inquire about the theft of Li Shanren that day on the order of Zhao Zhutou, I don't know if Brother Tai can tell me one or two" Yuan Chen asked.
"Oh?" A look of surprise appeared on the beautiful man's face.
"This is the stage left by my ancestors, and it has been in business for a long time, and as a disciple of Liyuan, I often invite them to perform here." The beautiful man said with a slight smile, a little relieved, "Fortunately, every time at this time, the neighbors of Jianye City will come to us to watch the play, there was a good show that night, ten thousand empty alleys, naturally there are a lot of people to cheer, but someone is the Shaoxia you said about the theft, I have no way of knowing, but I think someone should know that there is a good show that night, and I want to take advantage of no one at home, so it is convenient to start." I'm still helping the actors in the backcourt, but I don't know who got in. ”
"This is indeed a bit weird," Yuanchen muttered softly. He immediately smiled and thanked the beautiful man, and stood at the door and fell into deep thought.
