"We don't know where your Yingying is, but we'll help you find a way to find Yingying." Bai Ning quickly got up and hugged the teahouse owner who was struggling to pounce forward.

The teahouse owner was stunned when he heard this, and withdrew his struggling arm in disappointment, and then burst into tears: "It's useless, I can't find it, my Yingying can't find it......" Before the words fell, the teahouse owner had lost his strength, slipped from Bai Ning's arms, sat on the ground, and cried bitterly.

Qiao Xiya looked at the teahouse owner who was sitting on the ground, her heart ached, and she tried her best to control her trembling and choked voice: "You get up first, get up and talk slowly."

Bai Ning used both hands to lift the boss up, and sat down on the edge of the table. The guests in the teahouse who were originally in twos and threes saw that the boss was out of shape, and they all left the tea money on the table and left quietly with sighs. They are all old customers in the street, and everyone knows what is going on.

"We are ordered to investigate this case, not only you lost your daughter, many people in Huizhou City are like you, including his sister, and my father was also framed and imprisoned for investigating this case, I want you to tell me the whole process and all the details of what happened, and then we will find a way together to find the missing girls and rescue my father." Qiao Xiya poured a cup of tea and put it in the boss's hand.

"You ......" The teahouse owner raised his head and looked at Qiao Xiya and Bai Ning with teary eyes, "Are you really sent by the imperial court?" ”

"Really, you see, this is a token given to me by the emperor himself, with this, once it is verified, I can cut it first and then play." Qiao Xiya put the gilded pig token in front of the teahouse owner.

"I don't care what happens first," the teahouse owner wiped away a handful of tears and choked up, "I just want my Yingying back......"

"I'll be back, I'll be back......" Qiao Xiya's comfort at this time seemed so pale and weak, but apart from this sentence, Qiao Xiya didn't know what to say.

After about a stick of incense, the owner of the teahouse finally calmed down, he wiped the tears on his cheeks, drank the tea in front of him, and slowly opened his mouth:

"It was last summer, on the seventh day of the seventh month. This day is the begging festival, so the night is very lively, the streets and alleys are busy with the moon begging girl, my family Yingying is also curious, follow the neighbor's girls to run around, that day we made some cakes and snacks for the occasion, so the business is particularly good, I thought that when the children are tired, they will come back, but I never thought, until midnight, almost all the people on the street went home, and my family Yingying did not come back. ”

The owner of the teahouse wiped the tears that slipped from the corners of his eyes, and continued: "There are many boys in our old Han family, and several generations are looking forward to having a girl, and when I come here, finally the sixth child gave birth to Yingying, and the whole family spoils it like something, I want the stars not to give the moon, and Yingying has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and everyone likes to see it......" The tears of the bean size crackled and rolled down, and the owner of the teahouse choked up and couldn't speak.

There is not much difference between the account of Boss Han in the teahouse and the record book that the prefect gave to Qiao Xiya, and there are no more details, although Qiao Xiya can't bear to expose Boss Han's wounds again, but she has no choice, she can't retreat, not even half a step.

Qiao Xiya poured another cup of tea and put it in front of Boss Han, hesitating to ask.

"Whatever you want, just ask." After Boss Han drank the tea, wiped the tears on his face, and tried his best to control his emotions.

"Boss Han, on the day Yingying disappeared, did you see or hear any unusual sounds?" Qiao Xiya thought about it, and finally opened her mouth.

Qiao Xiya's words made Boss Han fall into deep thought: "Unusual ......"

"yes, like something you haven't seen before, or a sound you haven't heard."

Boss Han thought for a while and said: "A strange thing happened that day, a guest said that he picked up a hairpin at my door and asked if it was my wife's. The hairpin is very beautiful, and at first glance it is something that only the girls and wives of rich and noble families wear, which can be had by businessmen like us. ”

"Hairpins?" Qiao Xiya's heart trembled, and she remembered the bag of hairpin jewelry that her father had searched from her house on the day he was taken away, "Where is that hairpin now?" ”

"It was handed over to an official half a year ago."

"Anything else out of the ordinary?" Bai Ning asked without giving up.

"Taste, does taste count?" Boss Han's eyes lit up, "I also smelled a very special smell that day. ”

"Which one do you smell?" Bai Ning took out five or six paper bags marked with numbers from his arms, ignored Qiao Xiya's surprised eyes, gently opened them, and handed them to Boss Han in turn.

"This is it!" When he smelled the fourth paper bag, Boss Han shouted, "This is it!" Have you already caught someone? Where's my Yingying? Boss Han's hands gripped Bai Ning's arm tightly, and ten fingers were eager to get into Bai Ning's arm.

"We just have some clues, and we haven't found anyone yet." Bai Ning's words hit Boss Han hard, his hands were helplessly released, and then he covered his face, and after a while, tears overflowed from his fingers.

Bai Ning put away the paper bags, looked at Boss Han again, gave Qiao Xiya a look, patted Boss Han's back lightly and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely find a way to find Yingying."

Seeing that Boss Han just cried silently and did not respond, Bai Ning nodded at Qiao Xiya, and after leaving the tea money, he walked out of the teahouse.

"How? The slave was very sad to hear the boss cry. Chunling, who was waiting outside the teahouse, greeted him and hugged Qiao Xiya.

Qiao Xiya shook her head slightly, then turned around and looked at Bai Ning: "Who are you?" What else do you know? ”

Bai Ning looked at Qiao Xiya with a serious face, and his tone was sincere and unfamiliar: "You just need to know that I'm here to help you."

"I think you're here to hurt her!" Yao Mingxi interjected from the side.

Bai Ning glanced at Yao Mingxi and didn't pay attention to him, but looked at Qiao Xiya and continued: "Slowly, you will know that this case is not as simple as it seems."

"You don't have a missing sister, do you?" Qiao Xiya looked directly at Bai Ning coldly.

"You can say yes or you can think no." Bai Ning sighed, "None of this matters, what matters is where the missing people have gone." When you find them, you'll know if I have a missing sister. After saying that, he walked away alone without looking back.

"Hey! You ......" Qiao Xiya became more and more unable to see through Bai Ning, she had a stomach full of questions, and wanted to catch up and ask clearly.

"Xiya, leave him alone!" Yao Mingxi stopped Qiao Xiya, looking at Bai Ning's back as he left, Yao Mingxi took a sip and said, "Pretending, who does he think he is!" ”

"Oops! You don't know ......" Qiao Xiya shook off Yao Mingxi's arm, but seeing Bai Ning's back disappear into the crowd, Qiao Xiya didn't know how to chase after her. "Forget it, find a place to eat, and go back when you're full." With that, Qiao Xiya turned around and walked towards the restaurant opposite the teahouse with Chunling and the others.

"Hiss!" The moment Qiao Xiya turned around, there was a neighing sound of horses in her ears, and before she could react, a crazy horse galloped straight towards her.

"Girl, be careful!" Qiao Sanyi dragged Qiao Xiya away, and the crazy horse ran over by the corner of Qiao Xiya's skirt.

In the distance, a man dressed in a coarse cloth shortcoat pulled down the hat on his head and disappeared into the crowd.
