"I remember, it turns out that the lion soul you are looking for is that person." Guo Gan said: "Ten years ago, before Xu Niangzi married me, she did save an injured person, but this person stayed in my lotus village for two or three days and left. It's been so long that I've almost forgotten it. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Lianhua said: "Master Guo, this is gone, where did the people go?" ”

"I don't know." Guo Qian looked at the painting in Li Lianhua's hand, "As for this painting, maybe he painted it to thank Xu Niangzi for his kindness." It hasn't been here for years. ”

"In this way, this lion soul has indeed lived in this lotus picking village for a short time. The murders that happened in the village really have nothing to do with him, and we blame us for guessing wrong. Li Lianhua said suddenly.

Guo Gan nodded, "Of course, I said before that these things were originally accidents, and several of them have come to check today, so they should also believe it." ”

"This is indeed what we think about too much, we have a reluctant request, this criminal detective next to me doesn't like the noisy sound of the inn, I don't know if I can spend the night in Guizhuang?" Li Lianhua spoke again.

He agreed with Guo Gan's statement before, obviously just to stay.

As soon as Li Lianhua's words fell, Fang Duo hurriedly showed a smile at Guo Gan.

Fang Duozhi is a criminal detective of Baichuan Academy, and he is the son of Shangshu of the Dynasty, if today's incident does not happen, Guo Qian will definitely agree. But leaving them now will make Guo Qian a little uneasy. He did not refuse directly, but said euphemistically: "I have always only entertained literati and ink writers in Lotus Village. ”

However, he met Li Lianhua, "That's really a coincidence, I love to sing poetry, and tonight I will write a Yonglian poem for Guo Zhuang." If you change to a night's accommodation today, the owner won't refuse to agree, right? ”

Hearing this, Guo Gan laughed twice, "My Lotus Village has always been open, open the door to welcome ink guests, and a few people can rest assured to stay." ”

"Thank you."

"I'm tired."

Fang Duozhi and Li Lianhua both expressed their gratitude to Guo Qian.

……

Originally, I wanted to kick them out under the pretext of trespassing in the backyard, but I didn't expect that not only did I fail to drive people away, but I also let them stay overnight.

This made Guo Gan very depressed, they didn't stay long, and after agreeing to let him stay, they turned around and left.

Li Lianhua and the others looked at each other and also came out of the backyard.

Although they have stayed for the time being, there is not enough time left for them to investigate the case, and there is no time to waste.

"Back then, there was no trace of a thousand shadows, but the martial arts of the lion soul were not so strong." Walking on the road, Di Fei Sheng spoke.

Li Lianhua nodded, "I want to cover it." ”

"What is the absence of a thousand shadows, what is the martial arts of the lion soul, what are you talking about?" Hearing that they were playing dumb riddles again, Fang Duo suddenly became anxious.

He couldn't stand this kind of situation, which was obviously a world of three people, but excluded him.

Well, because Shen Haofeng is not involved in these, he is not in the scope of consideration of Fang Duo's disease.

Seeing this, Li Lianhua explained, "What we are talking about ten years ago, after the defeat of the Golden Mandarin League in the First Battle of the East China Sea, the Central Plains Martial Arts went around to eliminate the forces of the Golden Mandarin League. This thousand shadows are the most iron-blooded tissue in the wrist. But I heard Miss Qiao say that the lion soul was targeted by them at that time, so if he was injured and left after two days of cultivation, I think there must be something strange about this matter. ”

His statement is problematic, because the lion soul was released by Qiao Wanmian, and he also wrote a letter of thanks. Even if you really only have to recuperate for two days and leave, you don't have to worry about anything.

But this kind of thing, of course, Shen Haofeng is impossible to say.

Besides, Guo Gan's various signs indicate that he must be hiding something, but in what way did Li Lianhua conclude that Guo Gan had a problem, the process may be problematic, but the result is right.

For Shen Haofeng, who eats melons, this is fine.

Thinking about his words, Fang Duozhi guessed, "In other words, it is very likely that the lion soul did not leave at that time, and it was Guo Gan who was lying." ”

"That's right, Fang Shaoxia, there is progress." Li Lianhua praised him.

Di Fei on the side said, "Since you all know, why did you stop me from asking just now?" He said this to Li Lianhua.

Li Lianhua smiled, "How can someone who has the intention to hide it tell you the truth." ”

This...

Didn't they make Fang Duo sick and anxious, no, Fang Duo was sick and anxious again, "Wait, can you make it clear, don't play dumb riddles in front of me?" ”

Di Feisheng was obviously not as good-tempered as Li Lianhua, and was repeatedly interrupted by Fang Duo's illness, and he said coldly: "Ignorance. ”

With a word, he turned and left.

The angry Fang Duo jumped to his feet on the spot, "Who do you say are ignorant?!" As he spoke, he was about to chase the flute flying theory, but was stopped by Li Lianhua.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, don't be like him. This was all ten years ago, when you were still young, and you blame me for not telling you clearly, blame me. Li Lianhua said to Fang Duo, who had calmed down: "Let's go." ”

Fang Duozhi couldn't help but mutter, "Can't you speak well?" ”

Li Lianhua looked at Shen Haofeng helplessly, and the latter gave him a helpless look, pushing it so fast, Li Lianhua: "......"

The three of them arrived at the lotus pond.

"That's where the bodies were found three times."

Fang Duozhi looked down, "Half of the grass here is long and slippery, and it is indeed a position that is easy to fall into the water." It doesn't seem to be strange, but it's been so long, and if there are any clues, I'm afraid it's long gone by now. ”

"That's not necessarily, for example, when you just arrived at Cailianzhuang, you saw that it was easy to fall here, so how could the people who live here fall in one fell stumbling after another?" Li Lianhua said casually.

Fang Duo was thoughtful, and Di Fei rarely spoke, "Let's take a look around." ”

Seeing that Li Lianhua didn't speak, Shen Haofeng said, "Let's go to Xue Yu Town for a walk." "This is the method that many criminal investigation masters like to use, and there is nothing to find out in Cailian Village for the time being, and from the mouths of the people in the town, maybe you may hear any clues.

They had lived in Xue Yuzhen for so long, and they obviously knew much more about Cailian's residence than outsiders like Li Lianhua.

"Okay." Li Lianhua nodded.

The four of them went around Xue Yuzhen for a long time, but they still didn't find any useful clues, and the people's impression of Cailianzhuang was probably that Lotus and several brides died one after another.

But they attributed the problem to the wedding dress, and added a lot of mystery to the wedding dress, which obviously had no effect on Li Lianhua and their desire to find out the truth.

"I've been investigating for a long time, but I still haven't found any useful clues." Fang Duo sighed sickly.

Looking at the restaurant beside her, Li Lianhua said: "That's it, let's talk about the rest later, fill your stomach first." ”

"How do you know how to eat?"

"Come here, try the local food, learn about the customs, maybe there will be clues." Li Lianhua said.

Several people entered the restaurant.

"The land of taverns and wine shops, the most gossip."

Li Lianhua nodded, "Ah Fei, you are a little smarter than before." ”

Fang Duozhi said angrily: "Don't you just ask for news, who wouldn't have thought of it." Little two. ”

"Here, guest officer."

Fang Duozhi ordered: "Come to the best private room." ”

"Okay, right away."

Seeing that Xiao Er was about to lead the way, Li Lianhua hurriedly stopped Xiao Er, "No need, we can just sit there, one meat and two vegetables, and we are tired." ”

Xiao Er looked at Fang Duo's illness and saw that he had no opinion, so he hurriedly followed Li Lianhua's instructions.

Li Lianhua lowered her voice and said, "Fang Shaoxia, how to say it, it's also your hard-earned silver, save some flowers." ”

It's also too saving, four people, three dishes.

Before the four of them could reach the table over there and sit down, they heard the guest next to them say, "I heard that there are several corpses missing in the barren mountains in the suburbs." ”

"What's the fuss, the newly buried corpse, maybe it was taken away by some beast, how many times have it been over the years."

"That's right, if you want to say a strange thing, a bride has died in Cailianzhuang recently. Do you know that it is very wicked? ”

I didn't expect to hear what I wanted to hear so soon, and Li Lianhua, who had finished pouring the tea, looked at the table, "A few big brothers, I just heard you mention Cailianzhuang?" ”

"Yes, you're also here to enjoy the lotus?"

Li Lianhua nodded, "That's right." I take the liberty of asking, is this lotus picking village usually hospitable? ”

"This lotus picking village, every year to admire the lotus, is an endless stream. But this son, I advise you not to go recently. There's just a guy dead, and there's an evil one. ”

"None of the brides of Cailian Village can live to the day of marriage, and there are evil spirits at work."

Li Lianhua put down the teacup and pretended to be curious, "Is it so scary?" ”

"What kind of evil and evil spirits, I think it may be, it is the owner of Cailian Village who has a bad heart, and God punishes him."

Well?

Li Lianhua's spirit was shocked, the content she likes to listen to, isn't this coming? "Then the temper of this owner is really bad."

"That's right, the subordinates in the village, he is not a good person, as long as anyone disobeys his heart, he will be beaten half to death." The person who spoke was indignant, "I heard that Master Guo's wife was also forced to death by him, it's really not a thing." ”

They looked at each other with Fang Duoai, and Li Lianhua said: "Then in that case, why did Xu Niangzi ten years ago marry him?" ”

"This son doesn't know, I heard that Xu Niangzi is a happy member, someone redeems himself for him, and enjoys glory and wealth, who doesn't want to?"

"Since then, the Guo family has changed their family members all over again, and I don't know if they want to hide something unseemly."

While they were talking, a woman brought the dish and reminded her kindly, "Big brothers, don't talk about the length of people behind your back." ”

"Why, don't let people say it? Look at the madmen of their family, I'm afraid they didn't make their family stupid, haha. ”

"I guess his honest son is also coming soon."

When they were talking, Guo Hao happened to walk in from outside and listened to all the words of these people.

"Guo Gongzi." Seeing the six roads and hearing the eight directions, Fang Duo was sick, and was the first to see Guo Wu, and raised his hand to greet him.

Hearing the voice, Guo Xuan turned his head and saw Li Lianhua and a few people, and hurriedly saluted, "It turns out that a few people are also here." ”

Li Lianhua smiled and said, "Young Master Guo also came out to drink." ”

Guo Wei sighed, "My second uncle is sick again, and he loves to eat the eight-treasure duck here, so my father ordered me to come over and buy some." I didn't expect to meet a few here. ”

"It's better to meet by chance, let's meet together." Li Lianhua made an invitation to Guo Yao.

Guo Yu nodded and sat down.

After he sat down, Li Lianhua and the dishes on their table also began to be served, it was still the girl just now, as soon as she saw Guo Yu, she hurriedly said: "Young Master Guo, the guests said something ugly just now, don't mind." These side dishes, even if I apologize to you on their behalf. ”

"It doesn't matter." After saying a word to her, Guo Hao looked at Li Lianhua and the others, "Today is our lotus picking village, and the greeting is not good." ”

Li Lianhua shook her head, "Where is this, if there is such an accident, Young Master Guo is still the saddest in his heart." ”

"Now that the village is in chaos, I'll invite you to have a light meal here." Guo Hao thought about it.

"That's embarrassing."

It didn't matter if Fang Duo was sick, "What's embarrassing about a light meal, let's have a squirrel cinnamon fish..."

I am reluctant to spend my own money, so what is there to be polite about this opportunity to eat a big family?

This time, even Di Feisheng looked at him in surprise, he still underestimated him, he didn't know that he didn't have any special skills, at least his skin was thick enough.

The girl told the restaurant to prepare the dishes.

After waiting for a while, the dishes were served one by one, and the previous girl was still in charge of serving, "I'm sorry for a few people, the coriander in the restaurant is sold out today, and I will change a celery beef for everyone." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Fang Duozhi waved his hand, these details, Young Master Fang was not a harsh person. "Come on, come on, eat while it's hot." He beckoned to the people at the table.

The cooking skills in the back kitchen of the restaurant are still good, and the guests and hosts enjoy a meal.

At night.

Li Lianhua wrote poems in the room, and he promised to write a Yonglian poem for Guo Gan. It's just that as soon as the poem was written, he saw a figure on the door, and someone was outside.

He immediately walked over and opened the door, trying to see who was hiding there.

The moment the door opened, he was startled when he saw Steward Jiang's face.

"It's you, Steward Jiang, it's so late, you..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Lianhua saw Steward Jiang take a peach branch in her hand, dip it in water from the bowl, and sprinkle it on the doors and windows. "There are resentful spirits here, and there are resentful spirits."

Li Lianhua: "......"

"It's not far from where the bride drowned, and it's a little scary." Li Lianhua sighed, and when she saw that Steward Jiang was leaving, he hurriedly stopped her, "Wait, mother-in-law, do you remember the first time the six-fingered strange man appeared in the village ten years ago?" ”

Steward Jiang said: "Ten years ago, that person appeared under your window inexplicably, like a ghost." ”

“……”

asked the lonely Li Lianhua with a helpless face, fortunately, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, otherwise he would ask such a result, and then look at Steward Jiang's serious exorcism of evil spirits, it was purely to block himself.

Waiting for Steward Jiang to sprinkle water along the way to drive away evil spirits, Li Lianhua closed the door. (End of chapter)
