"How? Do you have a clue? After the crowd dispersed, Zi Xuan walked to Lin Fan's side and asked.

"Idiot, just say what you think." Lingsha also chimed in.

Lin Fan ignored the two, lowered his head and closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, pondering repeatedly in his heart, everyone's testimony just now, slowly arranged the development of the whole thing according to the timeline, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Lin Fan finally sensed that something was wrong. He excitedly clenched his left hand into a fist on his right palm, and said excitedly, "I know something is wrong!" ”

Zi Xuan's expression was relieved when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "Senior brother is really talented and intelligent, and he has figured things out in such a short time, so who kidnapped the child?" ”

"Tell me about it, I want to know too." Lingsha grabbed Lin Fan's shirt and swayed from side to side to urge.

Lin Fan shook his head and said slowly: "There is no direct evidence to infer who kidnapped the child, but if it is suspicious, I think it is this beggar." ”

"Why beggars? I think the restaurant junior is the most suspicious, he is holding a large package, who knows if it is ingredients and wine, or a child? We can't believe whatever he says. In addition, Aunt Liu should not, the thief shouted and lied about losing the child, but now she can't make a decision. Also, don't you think it's strange why the children's clothes are in Old Man Li's house? Lingsha asked puzzled.

"There is a time detail, let me explain to you, an hour is two hours, and a quarter of an hour is 15 minutes."

"What do you mean by hours and minutes?" Zi Xuan interrupted Lin Fan's words and asked suspiciously.

"Big brother, don't care about the details, the hour and minute are the name of the timekeeping in my hometown." Lin Fan responded embarrassedly, and then continued: "The restaurant junior said that he stole things and ran out of the village, and he trotted back and forth, he saw the beggar sleeping in the Chenghuang Temple at the entrance of the village at the third hour, Aunt Liu was looking for the child at the fourth hour, and he saw Old Man Li drinking in the wine store at the fifth hour, and he returned to the restaurant at the sixth hour, and he trotted all the way, and it took two quarters of an hour from the Chenghuang Temple to the wine shop. ”

And the beggar claimed that he did not get up until four quarters of Shen, that is, he set off after four quarters of Shen, and arrived at the wine shop at six minutes, and it also took two quarters of an hour, and even because he set off later, he probably arrived at the wine store in less than two quarters of an hour, and a lame man with a pestle and crutches could go so fast? I'm not sure if the beggar kidnapped the child, but there must be something wrong with him, and I suspect that not only does he not have a hidden leg disease, but also has martial arts, and I am afraid that he is not weak. ”

"In that case, let's go separately, Lin Fan, you go to investigate the shopkeeper and Aunt Liu, Lingsha, you go to investigate Old Man Li, and I will follow the beggar, after the investigation is clear, we will meet at the inn." Zi Xuan nodded in agreement and said.

After separating from Zixuan Lingsha, Lin Fan went to the restaurant alone, on the way he couldn't help but think of the past, it had been more than a year since he came to this world unconsciously, he sighed when he thought of this, for such a long time, he still had no clue how to return to modern times.

When he first came here, he felt out of place, full of curiosity and deep wariness of the unfamiliar environment, and I don't know when he gradually adapted to life here.

Just thinking about it, when he looked up, he found that he had arrived at the restaurant, and after stepping in, he found the shopkeeper, and asked if there were any missing ingredients in the store today, and the shopkeeper next to him heard what Lin Fan said, his face was a little unnatural, although the shopkeeper felt inexplicable, but he still went to the back kitchen to check it, and found that there were indeed some ingredients and drinks missing.

Lin Fan asked him if he often lost things in the store? The shopkeeper said that this was the first time, and asked Lin Fan if he knew who the thief was. Lin Fan knew in his heart that the shopkeeper didn't seem to be lying, since the Guyu Village incident, he knew that the life of the people at the bottom in this era was not easy, so he didn't report the shopkeeper. I only said that I heard that I lost my child today, so I helped investigate the case myself, went to each family to inquire about the situation, and reminded each family to be careful of theft of property by the way.

The shopkeeper nodded, thanked Lin Fan, and left him to eat in the restaurant, Lin Fan just felt hungry and was about to agree, but remembered that the senior sister said that in the inn, she prepared a table of wine for herself, thinking that she was sitting at the table, with a smile on her lovely face with her hands on her cheeks, quietly waiting for her to go back, so she refused the shopkeeper's kindness.

When he left, he saw the shopkeeper cast a grateful look at him, so he nodded to him slightly, and then went to Aunt Liu's house. Lin Fan performed light skills and entered the courtyard silently, at the door of Aunt Liu's room, he used his little thumb on the papier-mâché window, quietly poked a small hole, and he held his breath and leaned on the window to look inside.

There was only one candle in the room, and by the faint candlelight, I saw Aunt Liu sitting on the bed, holding the child's clothes and crying silently, it seemed that Aunt Liu had really lost the child.

Looking at the haggard and sad look on Aunt Liu's face, Lin Fan felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, he has been living in the school since he was in high school, and gradually went home less and less, and after college, in order to take the postgraduate entrance examination, most of the time was spent on studying, and the only spare time was also left to his brothers and friends.

Lin Fan has already adapted to an independent life, except for festivals, he has less contact with his parents, and only occasionally calls to report his safety. He will never forget the look of anticipation and missing on his parents' faces when he occasionally came home.

Later, they may feel that they are old, and they are afraid that they will have no one to take care of Lin Fan in a hundred years, so they always urge him to find a partner and entrust him to others, Lin Fan was gradually annoyed, and even broke off contact with his parents for a while.

After that, he traveled to ancient times by accident, are his parents okay? In their eyes, have they been kidnapped? Is my mother sitting on the bed at this moment, holding her clothes and looking sad?

Lin Fan secretly swore in his heart that he would help Aunt Liu find the child and reunite their mother and son, thinking of this, he became more and more homesick. Will I still be able to see my master, brother and sister when I go back?

I think of the master who is not respected at all, but sometimes speaks thought-provoking truths, the senior brother who takes care of himself a lot like an elder brother, the most unobtrusive and lukewarm to himself on weekdays, but when he is in trouble, he protects his second senior brother like a calf, the third senior brother who is honest and approachable, like a bosom friend, gentle and virtuous often helps him sew and mend clothes, prepares clothes for the change of seasons, takes care of himself after being injured, likes to cook first-hand good dishes, and often wants to pull himself down the mountain to play, laughing and playing together on weekdays, Lingsha, who has a marriage contract with him, thinking of them, Lin Fan is a little reluctant in his heart.

After Lin Fan arrived at the inn, he found that Zixuan and Lingsha had come back and were waiting for him, Lingsha's eyes were red and seemed to have cried, Lin Fan asked in surprise, could it be that Old Man Li still dared to provoke Lingsha?

Lingsha shook her head, saying that she went to secretly investigate Old Man Li and found that he was mourning his deceased wife, today seems to be his wife's death day, so he ran to drink so much wine, seeing his liver and intestines, he couldn't help but think of his deceased parents, and felt a little sad in his heart.

Lin Fan asked Zi Xuan about the beggar again, and Zi Xuan said with a solemn face that he went to the City God Temple, but he did not find any trace of the beggar, so he came to the inn to meet Lin Fan Lingsha first, ask them about the investigation, and then go back to the City God Temple together to investigate.

"Senior brother is almost there, when is this coming, if you are not hungry, junior brother and Lingsha should also be hungry, you have to continue to investigate, let's talk about it after eating first." Su Rong's eyes were full of tenderness, and her words persuaded earnestly.

"Ahem, let's eat first, this matter is not in a hurry, what about Jiang Yun and Cheng Pu?" Zi Xuan coughed lightly twice in embarrassment and changed the subject.

"The two of them ran out to drink, you can eat quickly, don't worry about them, by the way, junior brother, try this dish, I found that the food here tastes really good when I eat." Saying that, Su Rong picked up the vegetables on the plate and made a gesture to feed them to Lin Fan.

"Thank you, senior sister, I'll come by myself!" Lin Fan was embarrassed to wait for his senior sister to feed, so he hurriedly took the dish from Su Rong's chopsticks with a bowl and ate it by himself.

"Sister Su Rong, he doesn't appreciate you feeding me." Lingsha said coquettishly to Su Rong, and then lightly opened the small mouth of the red lips, Su Rong doted with a hint of a light smile, picked up the vegetables with chopsticks and fed them into Lingsha's mouth, Lingsha was satisfied with the chewing, while showing a happy expression.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, after Lin Fan and the others finished eating, Zixuan saw that it was almost over, so he took Lin Fan and Lingsha and set off to the City God Temple at the entrance of the village.

Before entering the City God Temple, Zi Xuan whispered: "As Lin Fan said, this beggar is afraid that he has martial arts, and I don't know how high his kung fu is at this time, let's sneak in quietly, you guys be more careful, if there is any accident, come to me as soon as possible." ”

Lin Fan and Lingsha nodded solemnly, and then the three of them held their breath and sneaked into the temple, the temple was dilapidated, surrounded by cobwebs, strangely in the temple, there was still no beggar, could it be that the beggar had already run away? Otherwise, it's almost midnight, and the beggar hasn't come back yet.

The three of them searched the City God Temple, but they didn't find anything, and when they were about to leave, the wall behind Lin Fan suddenly opened, and the beggar walked out of it, and it turned out that there was a secret room in the City God Temple. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Fan, and then picked up his crutches and smashed them over.

Lin Fan's clever sideways dodged this blow, and used a trick to grab the beggar alive, but he was dexterously dodged past, dodged to Lin Fan's side, and kicked Lin Fan's waist from the side, Lin Fan was kicked away by him carelessly, and then hit his head against the wall, Lin Fan snorted and pulled out the saber on his body, pulled a knife flower and slashed at him, he avoided the blade with his cane, flicked the knife away on the side of the knife, and then stabbed Lin Fan in the throat with the tip of the cane.
