When Wan Qifeng heard this, he couldn't help but interject: "Where is the little girl?" ”

Yes, everyone looked at each other. More than 100 people were killed and injured in Chenjiazhuang, and Wuma's Green Villa was turned upside down, and even the owner's father and son died. And the cause of this series of events, the little girl who doesn't know the origin, is missing?

"A few hours after killing Wu Ma Xu, Tong Li appeared in the north courtyard and killed Wu Ma Dan; And the two-headed demon puppet also went north before Tong Ben jumped into the well. "Dong Rui is stitching up the wound. His needlework is more beautiful than that of the embroiderer, "So, that little girl was hiding in the north courtyard at that time?" ”

Wan Qifeng pointed at the three black-armored warriors and said, "We have searched the North Courtyard, except for a few members of the Wuma Clan, we have not seen a girl under the age of fifteen. ”

He paused: "Tong Ben jumped into the well and escaped, probably being chased by the lord." Xiao An is nowhere to be seen, which is indeed a bit strange. ”

He Lingchuan's eyes flashed slightly: "You just said that Tong Li is good at transformation?" ”

"Yes." Dong Rui took a long breath and took off the spider silk gloves, "It's over, the fragments of the heart have been taken out." Within half a month, he would recover. ”

In just over a quarter of an hour, he completed a difficult surgical operation.

Wan Qiliang looked at Pu Hua with good eyes: "How long will it take for him to wake up?" ”

Dong Rui said casually: "Within two hours, if I didn't misestimate the amount of the poison of wood." ”

Wan Qiliang swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously, "Ru, what if the estimate is wrong?" ”

"Then-" Dong Rui spread his hands and made a helpless movement.

“……”

"It's not a big problem, I've tried it on the golem many times. At his age and body, the poison of the wood is diluted one hundred and twenty-eight times, which should not be a lethal dose. ”

Wan Qiliang scratched his head: "So this is the first time it has been used on a person?" ”

"Or else?" Dong Rui was old, "You didn't give me a chance before." ”

"It's time to go back, right?" When he caught the three demon puppets of other people's houses, he felt like a cat scratching in his heart, and he couldn't wait to go back to Jucheng in one step, "Anyway, the masked man can't catch up." ”

"Rest easy." He Lingchuan waved his hand, "Can you track down the whereabouts of your demon puppet?" ”

"Absolutely." Dong Rui understood as soon as he opened his mouth, "Oh, are you worried that he will chase him to Jucheng?" ”

"This demon puppet master can always catch up with Xiao An, which means that he has placed a tracking method on the little girl. These three demon puppets have been wiped out by us, how can he be convinced? Most of them are to chase revenge. He Lingchuan groaned, "So, you can't go back to Ju City." ”

The relationship between the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce and the Black Armor Army must not be exposed at the moment.

"So where can I go?" He needed a safe, quiet place to experiment.

He Lingchuan rolled his eyes and smiled: "I think of a good place." You are there, undisturbed. ”

Dong Rui parted ways with the Black Armor Army at location No. 3.

He Lingchuan and the others left from the other exits of the abandoned mine, and only after the dementor confirmed that it was safe and there was no one else's eyeliner behind them, they put away their armor and changed back to their regular clothes.

￥￥￥￥￥

Back in Jucheng, it's business as usual.

He Lingchuan should talk about business, and he should talk about business.

Pu Hua also woke up, her injuries were stable, and she gradually recovered. However, it took him five hours to wake up from his postoperative coma.

Not long after, Yu Xiao came to the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce to find He Lingchuan, and when they met, they said: "The missing person notice has been sent." In addition, you have to check the things that you want to investigate. ”

In addition to taking care of the Yuanxiang Association, he is also a nobleman of Pei State, and now he is highly valued by the monarch of Pei State. The efficiency of staying in the county was too low, and County Lieutenant Li really couldn't find out the information, so He Lingchuan had to ask Yu Wei to find a way.

He Lingchuan is now a celebrity of the allies, and he is investigating the murder case for Pei Guo, and now he can mobilize some official resources through fish hacking.

There are some things that are handled by the government, which is a hundred times more convenient than that of individuals and non-governmental forces.

"You may be seated." He Lingchuan has always treated him warmly, and called the little guy by the door, "Look at the tea!" ”

Please tea can not only be tea, but also have three flavors of tea, mung bean cake, plum preserved fruit and wind blowing cake.

Yu Xiao took a sip of warm tea to moisten his throat: "In the townships within a radius of 100 miles from Chenjiazhuang, the government is organizing manpower to post Xiao An's portrait and missing person notices, and said that this is a witness to a chain of murders, and those who provide clues will be given three taels of silver, and those who bring the little girl over directly will be given thirty taels of silver." ”

For civilians, 30,000 is not a small amount. He Lingchuan smiled: "It's hard work." ”

Mobilizing the strength of the masses is the best way at the moment.

"Ah, why does Brother He still thank me? You are investigating the case for me Pei Guo, and the king wants me to convey my thanks. ”

Yu Xiao continued: "Maodun is a small town, forty miles north of Liuxian, with a population of about two thousand, and the land is not fertile enough, but there are minerals and lacquer in the local area. I sent someone to find out from the town that the woman named Ah Hui was a native of Maodun, who died of her father at the age of seven, married the Li family in Starling County at the age of fifteen, and gave birth to two daughters, but her husband died of illness within two years. The in-laws sold her two daughters to outsiders, and Ah Hui to a merchant thirty miles away. ”

He Lingchuan sighed: "It turns out that she is from Maodun." "It's not from Xingyun Village.

"Her mother-in-law still refuses to say it, it's the neighbor who told it." "When my daughter was sold, my in-laws locked her in the door. She wailed for two days, and her neighbors could hear it clearly, and they were all noisy. ”

He Lingchuan nodded: "I see." ”

This is in line with the words of Aunt Wu in Chenjiazhuang.

"The merchant locked her at home for more than half a year, and it wasn't until she became pregnant that Ah Hui followed him with all her heart." Yu Xiao then said, "I don't know what's going on, five years later, the merchant went out to buy a business, fell off a cliff and died, leaving her and a daughter behind." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, this is really called hemp rope being broken in detail, and bad luck is only looking for hard-working people." Brother Situ was justified in the past: Shengdou Xiaomin, his life is out of his own hands. ”

The two were silent for a few breaths, and He Lingchuan only said, "Eat tea." ”

Yu Xiao changed a cup of tea: "About a month ago, Ah Hui escaped from her mother-in-law's house." ”

"With a daughter?" Aunt Wu also said that Ah Hui thought that her in-laws wanted to sell her and her daughter again, so she fled.

"Yes, with my daughter."

Judging by her age, Ah Hui's daughter is almost five years old. "What's her daughter's name?"

"Wang Xiaoya."

He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "Isn't the nickname called Xiao An?" ”

"It's called Xiaoya." Yu Xiao took the opportunity to say, "Besides, Xingyun Village that you asked me to check, County Lieutenant Li doesn't know this place, it's actually reasonable." ”

"The village is too small? Too far? "Pei Guo is not big, and there are often small villages hidden in the mountain passes. He Lingchuan suspects that some are not even officially recorded.

"Neither." Yu Xiao had a rare opportunity to whet his appetite, "Since the officials in the county don't know, I sent people to a few nearby towns to ask the old people, most of them said they didn't know, only one old blacksmith said that he had been there when he was young, and there was a big apricot tree at the entrance of the village." ”

"He reported the location, and I sent someone to investigate. Sure enough, the iconic old apricot tree at the entrance of the village is very beautiful, but the village is not an apricot village, but a village called Dongbai Village. ”

Could it be that Xiao An remembered wrong? He Lingchuan groaned, a five or six-year-old girl, would she remember her birthplace wrongly?

Yu Wei ate a piece of mung bean cake, and his speech was a little slurred:

"It's weird here: according to the villagers, that place was indeed called Xingyun Village, but well, it was twenty years ago!"

"Twenty years?" This answer was beyond He Lingchuan's expectations. It seems to be getting more and more interesting, "What happened to the village, why did it change its name?" ”

"It's not a name change, it's a war. At that time, a strong man led an army to ransack Xingyun Village, killing many people, and the rest of the villagers fled. It took a few more years for new outsiders to enter the original site and rebuild Dongbai Village there. Yu Xiao smiled bitterly, "The small village in the Situ family's territory was once eaten by the ghost king. This kind of thing happens occasionally in our country. ”

"Is there a lost girl named Xiao An in Dongbai Village?"

"Nope." Yu shook his head, "There are only two girls under the age of five in the whole village, and the big names and small names are not called this, and they are not lost. ”

He Lingchuan immediately thanked: "My whim really bothered Brother Yu." ”

"Little things." Yu Xiao has always been worried that he will not be able to repay He Lingchuan's kindness, and he is not happy that the other party has assigned him to do something.

The two chatted for a while, and the fish took their leave.

This person has a good sense of proportion, and he is comfortable with others, so it's no wonder that he can form a hometown association.

After sending him away, He Lingchuan looked out the window.

This spring, a pair of swallows built a new nest under the eaves of his study, and these days there has been a lot of chirping, probably a baby swallow has been born.

Birds, beasts, insects, and fish all have their own parents.

The Soul Mirror asked him, "Come up with something?" ”

Why does Ah Hui's daughter say that she is from Xingyun Village, a small village that died out twenty years ago?

"Could it be that Ah Hui told her daughter the story of Xingyun Village, and Xiao An remembered it?" The Soul Mirror scrutinized on its own, "This mother and daughter are a little crazy. ”

"No, Xiao An is not Ah Hui's daughter." He Lingchuan corrected it, "Ah Hui has given birth to three daughters, none of whom are called Xiao An. ”

"So what the hell is going on with this mother and daughter!" The Soul Mirror thinks that he is well-informed and experienced, and now he is also stunned.

"You have to look at it this way, although Ah Hui is crazy, everything she says can be verified. Her words are credible. ”

The Soul Mirror thought for a moment, "It seems to be true." ”

He Lingchuan then analyzed: "Then, we take her words as a benchmark, once Xiao An's statement does not match it, it will be contradictory and disorderly. ”

"I'll come first, I'll come first!" The Soul Mirror was in high spirits, "Xiao An said that his mother took her to escape from Xingyun Village to avoid the monster attack; But in fact, Ah Hui fled from her second in-law's house with her daughter. If you have to say that there are monsters chasing after you, probably someone who wants to chase them back? ”
