"How so?" Aunt Lotus exclaimed: "If I remember correctly, there should be only such a daughter in the Li family." The daughter didn't return overnight, didn't the Li family go out to look for it? ”

"Who knows, maybe something happened to the Li family. When I also came over, I heard someone say it on the road, and I wanted to take a look, but I was afraid that my sister would be in a hurry, and the weather was not good, so I came directly to the inn. ”

"It's right that my sister doesn't watch it, this scary thing, it's better not to watch it or not." Aunt Lotus shook her head: "If it's a stranger who dies, it's just a good idea to look at the excitement, it's an acquaintance who dies, and it's inevitable to dream at night when you see it, and I don't feel good in my heart." Not to mention, it's rare for our sisters to meet, what to do with these unfortunate things. ”

"What my sister said is that our sisters finally met, so we should say something considerate." Mrs. Wen said, and gently pulled the sleeve of Aunt Lotus with her hand: "The corners of my skirt are wet, and I feel a little uncomfortable sitting here, and my sister lives in that room." Otherwise, let's go to the room and talk. ”

"This-" Aunt Lotus looked at Bai Li with some embarrassment.

Bai Li pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It's okay, my aunt will accompany Mrs. Wen to the room." ”

"Then I'll talk to my sister first, and then I'll look for Li'er again." Aunt Lotus led Mrs. Wen to the guest room, and Bai Li turned her gaze to the door. You don't need to look closely, just by listening to the footsteps, you know that it is someone from the government. The shoes worn by these catchers are slightly different from those of ordinary people, the soles of the shoes are thicker, and when they step on the wet ground, they make louder noises than ordinary people.

The shopkeeper just came up with porridge, squinted his eyes, and saw that it was Gao Zhan, so he hurriedly raised his voice and said: "Gao Catch quickly!" ”

Gao Zhan didn't respond, but sat directly opposite Bai Li.

Bai Li glanced up at him, and was about to drink porridge, but the porridge bowl in front of him was taken away by Gao Zhan. Before she could say anything, she heard a "pop", and a wet saber appeared in front of her.

"Gao Zhukuai, I'm afraid I'm hungry, Bai Girl, wait a minute, I'll go to the back kitchen and bring you a bowl out." There are also these fast catchers, please also later, this white porridge side dish will be delivered immediately. ”

Bai Li leaned his arm against the table and held his chin with his hand: "I have drunk this porridge." ”

"So what?" Gao Zhan didn't raise his head.

"Didn't you hear what I said, I said I drank this porridge." Bai Li raised his voice slightly.

Gao Zhan raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "I don't dislike you." Also, I'm not blind, and when I entered the door, Xiao Er just brought the porridge over. You didn't even touch this bowl. ”

"That's also my porridge, isn't it too much for you to grab porridge from a girl's house like this?"

"Your eye saw that I snatched it from you, and I was served from the table." Gao Zhan put down the porridge bowl, except for some broken rice grains in the bowl, where was the shadow of porridge: "I got up on the fifth watch, and I have been busy until now, not to mention eating, I haven't even drunk a sip of water." ”

"Will you pretend to be pitiful if you are high-minded? Forget it, this girl has a lot of them, and she won't bother with you for such a bowl of porridge. Bai Li said this, but he held the teapot in his hand and poured Gao Zhan a cup of hot tea: "Is it for that Miss Li's case?" First of all, I woke up in the morning, and I haven't even gone out of this inn door. I've heard it too, but it's not very detailed. ”

"It's the Li family's case." Gao Zhan said directly: "The deceased Li Zhaodi, who is now sixteen years old, gives the impression to her neighbors that she is a very shy deaf girl. ”

"Li Zhaodi? The name—"

"Very common." Gao Zhan continued: "This name is not unique to the countrymen. Li Zhaodi's father is a merchant who walks the streets and alleys, because he is kind and has diligent legs and feet, and he has a good life. But this work of walking the streets and alleys can't be handed over to a girl's family to do, and this girl will marry sooner or later when she grows up, Li Zhaodi's father named her Zhaodi, and she also hopes to give birth to a boy. Especially after Zhao Di's ear problem, the Li family and his wife were even more eager to have a boy who could grow up to be the master of this deaf sister. ”

"Then did Li Zhaodi recruit a younger brother?" Bai Li asked curiously.

Gao Zhan shook his head: "No, the Li family recruited such a daughter." ”

"Oh!" Bai Li sighed lightly and continued to ask, "Then how did this Li Zhaodi die?" A deaf girl shouldn't go out casually. ”

According to the Li family's neighbors, this Li Zhaodi does not go out often on weekdays, and occasionally goes out to help her father and mother buy things. Zhao Di is a smart girl, although she can't hear with her ears, she can discern the general meaning of what others say according to the shape of their mouths. Those who are close to Li's house also know the situation of their family, and the nearby merchants also take care of this girl. There is no contradiction between them. ”

"I guess it wasn't human." Chen Dahu came in with a body of water: "Xiao Er, come to a pot of wine, the kind that can ward off the cold." ”

After opening his mouth and shouting, he didn't care about his soaked clothes, and sat directly next to Bai Li: "What a sin, Bai Girl, haven't you seen it, what has Miss Li's corpse become." ”

"Big Tiger!" Gao Zhan glanced at Chen Dahu.

"This white girl is not an outsider, maybe there will be a time when this case will trouble Mr. Bai. Who does this Mr. Bai listen to the most, naturally it is the white girl. Brother Gao, don't keep your face stiff, make it look like we're all quite different. ”

Xiao Er brought the wine over, Chen Dahu caught it, and poured a few sips before speaking again.

"White girl, don't listen to Brother Gao's scare, this case is not a confidential case, and this dead person is not an important person, he won't tell you, I, Chen Dahu, will tell you." Chen Dahu tore off his wet coat, "That Miss Li's corpse seems to have been gnawed by some wild beast, and the blood on the ground is sherdy, and people are panicked when they see it." It's okay if it doesn't rain, it's raining, and the minced flesh and blood flow down the street, and I thought of a lot of ways to deal with the scene and pacify the people nearby. ”

"Beast bite? Is there such a terrible beast in this Huaxi Town? Bai Li frowned: "I just heard from the big tiger that you said Mr. Bai, have you seen Bai Ze today?" Did he also go to the scene of Miss Li's murder? ”

"Mr. Bai...... I didn't see it, I just told Brother Gao that I might need Mr. Bai's help in this case. Seeing that there was white porridge served, Chen Dahu snatched the bowl without saying a word.

The shopkeeper looked at Bai Li with some embarrassment, and snorted and said, "Otherwise, Bai girl, you wait a while." ”
