Chapter 68: West Street Butcher's Shop

Ye Song's chopsticks paused, and looked at her with a smile: "Don't you think that your young lady is very thin now?" ”

"No, the slave looks bleak and weak."

After the meal, the sun outside was very bright and warm, and the wind was warm, so she lay on the chaise longue on the sunny porch in the courtyard for a while, and was dazed and a little sleepy, so she took a nap in the sun for a while.

After a leisurely and casual day, Ye Song regained his senses the next day, remembering the murder case that might be related to the national seal the night before, so he planned to go out for a walk in idleness, and found something by the way. As a result, when she walked to the door and was stopped by the guards, she suddenly remembered that it was too bad, the jade pendant was taken back by Su Chen, and she couldn't leave the house casually now.

It happened that Su Chen came back early to accompany Nanshu to have breakfast and go out to work, Ye Song immediately put on a smiling face like a flower, and said: "The prince has to go out to investigate the case so early, it is really a blessing for the people to do their duty." ”

Su Chen said: "Well, what do you want to do?" ”

Ye Song smiled harmlessly: "Together." ”

Su Chen walked past Ye Song and glanced at her lightly, "It's okay, you just stay in the palace." ”

I just took two steps, and the corners of my clothes tightened. Ye Song actually reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, so that the guards didn't dare to stop it, Ye Song smiled and said, "You don't want me to help you?" ”

Su Chen sneered: "You are because this king has taken back the Qilin Jade, you can't go out casually, so use this king as a cover." ”

Ye Song didn't quibble, and said, "Ah, you can see it." ”

Su Chen saw that Ye Song refused to let go, so he had to grab her and pull her on the horse and leave the palace together. Ye Song grabbed the reins and said, "Didn't you say that you were going to give me a horse today?" I don't want to ride the same horse as you. ”

Su Chen's face was cold, and he said, "You don't like it?" ”

Ye Song turned his head and looked at him with a smile: "I'm not afraid that Sister Nanshu will misunderstand." Why don't we go to the horse farm first, and when you give me the horse, I'll ride my own horse." ”

Su Chen was a little angry, but as soon as she mentioned Nanshu, he had no choice but to endure the anger, turned his head and went to the horse farm first, and really picked a horse for Ye Song. Compared with the docile white horse last time, this horse was a little tall, brown, very handsome, and looked more unruly.

This was personally selected by Ye Song.

Su Chen warned her at the time: "This Hequ horse was brought from Rong Di, and it is very wild and not easy to obey. ”

Ye Song was even more satisfied after hearing this, touched the horse's face, and was turned away by it arrogantly, she said, "Don't be afraid, I like this horse." ”

Seeing Ye Song on the horse, the river meandering horse spun in place dissatisfied, Ye Song took the reins to force it to stop, Su Chen said: "Whatever you want, you deserve to be fallen." ”

Then the two rushed to the scene of the crime the night before.

After wandering outside for two days and no gain, Ye Song was reluctant to continue, the case-handling personnel of Dali Temple had already expanded the search radius of ten miles around Liu Yizi's shop, and Ye Song became more and more interested in the river curved horse, Su Chen couldn't get out when she was not in the palace, so she went to the horse farm to tame her horse. After Ye Song was thrown a few times, he was very unhappy, and he wrestled with it with his bare hands while lying on horseback......

It was a stallion, but it had fluffy and beautiful hair, Ye Song liked to grab its hair when he was in a hurry, and scolded: "Tell you to drag, Lao Tzu will pull you out, so that you can't find a daughter-in-law in the future!" You provoked Lao Tzu, and I want to castrate you! ”

This horse is really human...... It seems to realize the seriousness of the problem, so it is a little more low-key.

Later, I heard that the murder weapon that killed Liu Yiqi was found in the ten-mile search range, and it was really the carving knife that Liu Yiqi usually used, and it was mottled with blood, so it was thrown into the pigsty of a family with a wall separated from the alley. When I found it, it had been trampled back and forth by pigs in two pigsty, and it was dirty and smelly. About a pig mistakenly thought it was a toy, so he arched to play with great interest, but was injured in the pig's mouth, the owner found that the knife was engraved with the word "Liu", did not dare to delay, and quickly reported to the case handling personnel of Dali Temple.

Ye Song asked to go out with Su Chen, Su Chen did not refuse, Ye Song dressed as a man and drove with him to the people's house, they did not know under detailed questioning, and there was no trace of weakness in their frightened expressions, it should not be intentionally harboring the murderer.

That is the murderer passing by outside and throwing himself into the pigsty.

Su Chen ordered to check the homes living in the entire alley along the alley.

At this time, Ye Song saw a beggar holding a broken bowl and limping with a cane, he knew that he had met a dignitary, and he shrank his head as fast as he cowardly as fast as he could, Ye Song suddenly stopped him and asked: "There are few people in this silent alley, why are you begging here?" ”

The beggar resignedly said: "Back to my lord, this is a shortcut to West Street, and if you want to beg for food, you have to get to a crowded place quickly." ”

Ye Song waved his hand, and the beggar left in a hurry. She looked back and smiled at Su Chen: "Why don't we go shopping around the lively West Street together?" ”

The two dismounted, without a single guard, and were dressed in civilian clothes, like ordinary people, and walked through this small alley to West Street. Naxi Street is like an enlarged version of the farmers' market, selling chickens, ducks, fish, meat, vegetables, melons and fruits occupy a long road, and there are many people shuttling among them, most of whom are the maids and housekeepers who are responsible for purchasing from large families in Beijing. Because of the high demand, the market here is thriving.

The two walked in the middle of the street, passing through the chicken and duck sellers, followed by the pork sellers, and both sides were full of boards, on which were placed pieces of pork, and there were a lot of iron hooks hanging on them, shouting and shouting, and it was very lively. Most of those butchers are powerful and powerful, and they are familiar with knife skills, and even the bones are slaughtered neatly and neatly after a knife. Ye Song couldn't help but look at it twice, what did she think of Su Chen also thought of, and the two of them lingered one by one, as if they were carefully selecting the best pork, Ye Song said casually: "Very strong, often use knives, or left-handed, have you ever thought that the murderer may be among them?" ”

Su Chen was silent, it didn't take much time, they were already standing in front of a pork shop, the butcher was a fat man, and his face was pleasant, his meat seemed to be exceptionally fresh, and the color of the meat was a little different from ordinary pork, but the same meat couldn't tell what was different.

The business in front of his shop was very good, and when he saw Su Chen and Ye Song coming, he asked with a smile: "Two guest officers, what kind of meat do you want?" ”

Ye Song smiled, reached out to play with the pork hanging on the iron hook, carefully selected it for a while, and said, "I see that the meat here is quite fresh, boss." ”

"Of course, I just killed this morning!"

Before Ye Song could decide which piece to want, another customer stepped forward and said very familiarly: "Fat Wang, give me two catties of meat in front of me." ”

"Howler!"

After the customer bought the meat and left, Wang Fatzi asked Ye Song again: "Has the guest officer chosen it?" ”

Ye Song pointed to a pile of bones on the board and said, "I don't want meat, give me all these meat and bones, I'll take it back and make bone porridge for my mother-in-law." ”

She is now dressed as a man, and others can't see anything unusual. It's just that when the fat man heard the word "mother-in-law", his face changed a little, and he smiled a little reluctantly, and said: "The guest officer is really considerate of his mother-in-law, Dele, then I'll wrap it for you, but the mother-in-law shouldn't be too good to her, they all have to inch in." ”

Ye Song quipped: "What, could it be that your mother-in-law is an inch-inch?" Wang Fatzi moved a little slower, and she sighed again, "My family is the same, just like the dominatrix is fierce and vicious, I have been screaming for the first two days that I want to eat meat and bones, I can't do it without being grinded." She saw that Wang Fatzi was preparing to tie up several meat and bones with a linen rope, and hurriedly stopped her, "Eh, don't tie me, you can chop me into sections, otherwise I will have to cut it myself when I turn around, and the knife at home is not fast enough." ”

Wang Fatzi responded again and again, hurriedly brought a knife and sharpened it twice on the iron rod, and the operator began to chop the bones.

Left-handed, slashed down. Ye Song squinted his eyes and glanced at Su Chen.

Wang Fatzi said while chopping it back: "This bone can make up for people, take it back and throw it into the pot to make a fragrant broth." In fact, there is no need to cut it at all. ”

Ye Song smiled and said, "The pot at home is small, and my mother-in-law likes to suck bone marrow." ”

Wang Fatzi did not doubt him, cut the bones into pieces, and then wrapped them in oiled paper, and said, "A total of one or two or three coins of silver." ”

Ye Song looked at Su Chen: "Pay." ”

Su Chen paid very cooperatively, then took the oil paper bag and walked out of West Street together.

Walking out of West Street, there were immediately two guards from the eaves, obviously secretly watching, Su Chen handed them the oil paper bag in his hand, and ordered: "Keep an eye on that butcher." ”

The two walked back to the silent alley, where pedestrians passed by from time to time, most of them were not as leisurely as Su Chen and Ye Song at the moment. But no one showed a relaxed expression, Ye Song put his hands behind his head and breathed softly.

The sunlight is golden and pure, and the cracks in the walls on both sides of the alley are covered with green grass, which gently sways when the breeze blows, complementing the thin moss on the walls. Su Chen looked sideways at Ye Song's sunny face and asked, "What are you sighing for?" ”

"I can't figure it out."

"What can't you figure out?"

Ye Song said slowly: "Do you remember that night when I found the carving knife, it was packed in a cloth bag and placed on the corner of the counter, which seems to be Liu Yiyi usually collected all the carving knives together after finishing the engraving work, indicating that his day's work has been completed." ”

"What's strange about that, maybe the killer killed him after he finished his day's work."

Ye Song turned his head to look at him, and his tone was a little cool: "What about the murderer's carving knife?" He went to the cloth bag to pull out a handful in order to kill someone? The room was so chaotic and so fierce, he still had time to find out where the knife was and draw it? ”
