Chapter 7: Strange Stories
In the blink of an eye, Wu Yuandao and Jiang Xiaolou lived in the city for a week, and because they had no financial resources, they had to return to their old jobs and chase the murderer. But the security of this Xuancheng is really ridiculously good, the biggest so-called murder case that the two of them have taken over in seven days is actually to catch a chicken thief, Jiang Xiaolou feels that he has been seriously insulted, no matter how I Jiang Xiaolou is also a dignified monk of the Six Realms, you actually asked me to catch a chicken thief, if it wasn't for the fact that you gave too much, I Jiang would not have go.
In this way, the people around the inn who went back and forth all knew that Jiang Xiaolou was a little expert in solving crimes, and some things that were not very serious and could not be reported to the official would come to him, and by the way, people also remembered that the little follower next to Jiang Xiaolou was Wu Yuandao, because every time he went, this little guy's mouth was always very sweet, and he always said that the customer was God, plus our little monk Wu was also quite handsome, so those aunts would bring some snacks to Wu Yuandao on weekdays. In this way, Wu Yuandao's life is called a nourishment, Jiang Xiaolou does not have to worry about eating, his day's work is to say good things, pat on the back, write down the entrusted case, and return the recovered objects, I don't know how much better it is than the days of licking blood from the knife edge in the north.
"Boy, you're the errand runner?" Just when Wu Yuandao was humming a little song and lying on the recliner of the stall, he came to the stall alone and knocked on the table, listening to the tone that didn't look like a messy master, so he hurriedly got up and poured a cup of white open for this person, adding two pieces of tea, "Oh, why are you here?" I've admired your name for a long time. "Wu-style skills, whether you recognize it or not, praise it first.
The man in front of the stall was stunned after hearing this, scratched his head, slurped, and thought for a long time that he didn't remember when he had seen this kid, but as the old saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person, so he followed the words, "I didn't expect that your little mud leg still has some knowledge, and you have actually heard the name of my big gold tooth." ”
Forehead... Wu Yuandao didn't expect this guy to be so shameless, and he didn't even be polite, but this is good, it shows that this guy who claims to be a big gold tooth is a heartless goods, so he said with a smile, "Hey, who doesn't know who your name is, alas, what are you doing today to use us?" ”
"Yes, but I don't know if you can do it."
"You say!" Wu Yuandao patted his chest confidently and said.
Seeing Wu Yuandao's expression, the big golden tooth first hesitated for a moment, then looked around, beckoned to Wu Yuandao and signaled him to come closer, Wu Yuandao looked at it and sighed in his heart, it won't be a very tricky job, but he still stepped forward to listen to what was going on, "I tell you, a few days ago, someone died in my home......" Wu Yuandao was so frightened when he heard this that he immediately retreated to his seat, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't take your job, we are here to solve the case and chase the murderer." ”
The big golden tooth knew at a glance that Wu Yuandao had misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly said, "No, no, no, this matter has nothing to do with me, that person came to me somehow, I just wanted if you could help me find out what was going on." ”
"Then why don't you go to the government?" If you don't look for the government, you come to a small stall like yourself? There must be fraud in this.
"Alas~ You think I haven't looked for the government, but it's strange here, I just went to report to the official on the front foot and waited for the government to arrive when the guy disappeared, no matter what I said, people just didn't believe it, just said that I was suffering from hysteria, and the neighbors also said that it was retribution, but my big gold tooth didn't do anything bad except for buying and selling some fake and shoddy goods."
It just so happened that Jiang Xiaolou came back from an errand at this time, Wu Yuandao told him what had just happened, Jiang Xiaolou refused to mix with this kind of thing after listening to it, and when he heard Jiang Xiaolou's answer, the arrogance of the big gold tooth in the morning had long been gone, and he cried and cried, saying that if he didn't help, he would have nothing to do, because in the past two days, the big gold tooth would often see the corpse appear at home, but as soon as he looked for someone, it disappeared, he had looked for many people, but they all thought that the big gold tooth himself was hallucinating, In the past two days, he finally heard that there was a newcomer in the city, so he decided to come to Jiang Xiaolou with his last hope, and that feeling was too tormenting.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, Immortal Master Jiang, just beg you when I have a big golden tooth~ You can help me, I will ask you to come with me to take a look, if there is really no way, I will not blame you, if I can solve this strange image, I will thank you a lot." At this moment, the big gold tooth almost knelt down to knock one to Jiang Xiaolou, but thanks to Jiang Xiaolou stopping him, the big gold tooth would really be able to do it.
"You go back first, we'll think about it, and we'll give you an answer when we're done thinking about it."
Seeing that Jiang Xiaolou didn't refuse directly, the big golden tooth couldn't help but nod his head as if he had grasped the life-saving straw, "Thank you Immortal Master, thank you Immortal Master." ”
After the big golden tooth left, Jiang Xiaolou looked at Jiang Xiaolou with some surprise, Jiang Xiaolou also noticed his eyes, so he said, "Are you curious why I am wading into this troubled water?" In fact, this situation is the second time I have seen, at that time I was about the same age as you, there was a trip to the next door when I heard it by chance, the adult next door said that there was a person at the entrance of the village who told people all day that he had seen a ghost at home, but no one had really seen the ghost except him, and then the man went crazy, and the situation of that person was the same as this big gold tooth, and after that day, someone really found that there was one less person in the village, but because that person had no interpersonal interaction on weekdays, no one noticed him. ”
"Then there won't be that body at the house of the dead man at the entrance of the village." Wu Yuandao said tentatively.
"That's right, the body really appeared in the man's house, or was it found because it was rotting and smelling, and after a fake examination, the time of death coincided with the day when the man saw hell."
Hiss~ Wu Yuandao took a deep breath, "Didn't anyone care about this back then?" "It shouldn't be.
Jiang Xiaolou shook his head, "It doesn't matter who is dead, who will bother to investigate." ”
"Uncle, do you want to find out now?" In Wu Yuandao's cognition, Jiang Xiaolou should not risk his life for a so-called fan, if there is really any reason, it should be that the person who died must have an unusual relationship with him.
"You should have guessed something, the person who was found later was my playmate since childhood, my best friend, at that time he always said that he wanted to be a chivalrous man when he grew up, and he went to the world alone, but he died so inexplicably."
"I understand, uncle." Wu Yuandao knew that Jiang Xiaolou was talking to himself about this in order to make himself understand him, and he didn't answer on the spot because he wanted to ask for his opinion, because if he made his own decisions, he would also get himself into trouble, for Wu Yuandao, Jiang Xiaolou was the closest person in the world, and he would choose to support him no matter what he did.
Jiang Xiaolou looked at Wu Yuandao's resolute gaze and touched Wu Yuandao's head with a smile, "I knew that you kid was interesting enough." ”
"Not really!"
"Hahahaha......"
