Chapter 6
The sky was getting dark, and after everyone had a lively dinner together, the head of the Liu family began to get to the point.
"Recently, strange murders have started to occur in many places in Shendai, and the situation is surprisingly consistent. The government has been busy with this matter for more than ten days, and the murderer still can't be found. The head of the Liu family frowned, "Until yesterday, there were still such cases, which shows that the murderer is not afraid at all and is still at ease." The government really has no eyebrows, so I begged my Liu Mansion to help see if it was a person or a demon who was doing the trick. ”
Ji Linlang listened silently, and his mind began to liven.
"Hmph, the government is in a hurry now. The small family that died before didn't care, but now that several high-ranking officials and wealthy families have died in a row, they are anxious. "Mrs. Liu's yin and yang weirdness next to her dissatisfaction." I think it's a good man who has robbed the poor and helped the rich. ”
The head of the Liu family touched her hand comfortingly, "Now is not the time to complain about who is responsible, and besides, those high-ranking officials and rich families are not all people who eat human blood." Now that the murderer is completely unknown, the people of Shendai are all terrified. ”
"The government doesn't have any clues?" Liu Yiyi frowned.
"Not yet." The head of the Liu family nodded. "I only know that the murderers committed crimes at night, so we can only strengthen the protection of various high-ranking officials and wealthy households."
"So I don't know whether the murderer's purpose is people or money." Xie Miao said.
"We're going to investigate tomorrow and see if we can find some loopholes." Liu Yiyi looked at Ji Linlang and Xie Miao, and raised her chin at them.
Ji Linlang nodded heavily, "Okay." ”
Xie Miao also nodded and said yes.
"It's late. Let's go back to our rooms and rest and recuperate. The head of the Liu family ended the conversation.
So everyone went back to the house.
Liu Yiyi took Ji Linlang back to her boudoir and asked Ji Linlang to wash up and rest together.
Ji Linlang took her hand and said, "Sister Yiyi, you wait first." I feel like I have a way of telling if the murderer is for money or people. ”
"Do you have a good idea? Let's hear it. Liu Yiyi tilted his ears.
"In the name of a banquet, these high-ranking officials and wealthy families can be gathered in one place first. Then see if the murderer will follow him to find the next target, or go hunting for money in the empty house. Ji Linlang told her what she thought.
Liu Yiyi's eyes lit up, "It's a clever move." ”
"But we can't do it so quickly, for fear of startling the snake. Now that the government is cooperating with the Liu family, maybe the murderer also knows the news, we can't hold a banquet as soon as we come back, and we have to think of a good excuse to do it. Ji Linlang analyzed, "Tomorrow, we will first investigate whether any small family has suddenly become rich in recent days." I really don't have a clue, so I am holding a cruise banquet on the grounds of appeasement, and on the surface invite high-ranking officials and wealthy families to relax. ”
"Linlang, why are you so smart, just do what you say. We'll go with Brother Xie early tomorrow morning. Liu Yiyi suddenly felt that Ji Linlang was really a baby.
"Hey, what the hell is this, I've always been so smart." Ji Linlang became proud, "Okay, let's go wash up first and rest early." ”
"Okay."
A dreamless night.
The next day, Ji Linlang was dragged up by Liu Yiyi, and she was full of interest to do something big.
"Sister Yiyi, can't you let me sleep a little longer......" Ji Linlang wanted to cry without tears, and grabbed the quilt tightly, completely like that cool woman who was calm and calm.
For Ji Linlang, sleeping is the most important thing in the big thing, lying down and making a salted fish.
"You weren't like that yesterday, you were better than anyone else yesterday! Why were you so lazy when you were about to leave? Liu Yiyi hated that iron could not be made of steel and dragged her out.
"It's okay to use your brain, forget it. Otherwise, you and Xie Miao will investigate first, and I will find you later. I swear, I really will. Ji Linlang said irresponsibly, squinting his eyes and raising a hand from the difficult quilt to make an oath.
"No, you can't be left behind. Get up and get dressed, be good, my sister will take you to eat something delicious. Liu Yiyi coaxed.
Ji Linlang was excited when she heard this, and opened one eye to look at her: "Really? ”
"Really! Get up. ”
Ji Linlang immediately sat up and got up to put on his coat. "Woohoo~ walking."
The three of them gathered at the door with a cup of tea, and Ji Linlang stood next to Liu Yiyi obediently.
"Yesterday, Linlang and I discussed, let's go and investigate the families who have suddenly become rich recently." Liu Yiyi said to Xie Miao.
Xie Miao glanced at Ji Linlang unexpectedly, and then nodded at Liu Yiyi: "Okay." I'll go to the street for morning tea first. ”
So the three of them went to the street and found a random stall to sit down.
"Boss, three bowls of large wontons, oh no, four bowls, thank you." Ji Linlang shouted at the wonton stall owner.
The boss immediately put the wontons in the pot: "Okay! The three guest officers sat down and drank tea for a while. ”
"You're a starving ghost reincarnated?" Liu Yiyi glared at her, what are you doing eating so much in the morning.
Xie Miao sat down and poured tea for the two, and then handed it to Liu Yiyi and Ji Linlang.
"Hey, you don't understand this," Ji Linlang took the tea, then hooked her fingers at her, and motioned for her to come closer and talk, "This kind of small stall is the easiest to inquire about, I am aggrieved, eat more, and buy you time to inquire." It's definitely not like I want to eat more, absolutely not! ”
…… If you don't say the latter sentence, it will be more credible.
But the silly Bai Tianliu Yiyi did not doubt him, and was moved: "Okay Linlang, when the case is solved, I will definitely ask my father for a reward for you." ”
"Harm, isn't the business of my sister's family my business? Polite! You're welcome. Ji Linlang smiled and waved his hand.
"......" No wonder they got better in one day, Xie Miao was stunned when he listened to Ji Linlang bluffing Liu Yiyi next to him, "Xie has been taught." ”
In the future, it will be so coaxed!
Seeing this, Ji Linlang took a sip of tea, and secretly glanced at him desperately, don't expose it to me, otherwise it will be difficult to trick her in the future!
At this time, the boss came over with hot wontons, "Three guest officers, your wontons are ready, please use them slowly, be careful of scalding." ”
"Thank you, boss." Ji Linlang moved a bowl of wontons in front of him, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of wontons and began to blow them cool.
Ji Linlang, the shopkeeper, only cares about making ideas, and it should not be her turn to work.
"Hey, boss. Is your wonton stand a good business? Liu Yiyi also probably knew Ji Linlang's temper, so she planned to set up her own words. She ate for a while and started talking to her boss.
"I'm a wonton stand, business is still good. The main reason is that I have been open for a few years, and there are often old repeat customers who come to eat. The boss replied happily.
"That's pretty good, boss, where do you live, seeing that you set up a stall so early, it should not be far from here, right?" Liu Yiyi continued to ask.
"My family lives quite far away, do you know where Yunman Village is? My house rests on that land. The boss scratched his head. I just wanted to earn something to eat, so I came out early to set up a stall to make money. ”
"Yo, that's a long way off, it's not easy." Liu Yi followed the temptation, "Then boss, why don't you want to change to a better and easier job?" I heard that there are quite a lot of people in Shendai who have recently become rich, and the boss knows someone who can introduce them to get rich together. ”
"There is a male doll in our village who is making a lot of money outside, and he also took other male dolls in our village to go out to work. It seems to have opened a cloth village. I've been selling wontons for so many years, and the old guest officials can't find anything to do, so they don't go to the peace. The boss smiled honestly.
Hey, that's not a coincidence.
"Does the boss know where the male doll got the principal? But what chance did the money bank borrow? I'm not afraid of your jokes, but a few of us have plans to borrow money to do business. Ji Linlang interjected and asked.
"This money is not easy to come by, when the male doll was young, he picked up a raccoon slave in the mountain behind the village, named Erhu and kept it. Later, the male doll took the two tigers out to buy things, and was taken by the little bully of Yang Fujia's family who fell in love with the two tigers, so he robbed them and said that they borrowed them to play, and then raised them for a period of time to be abused to death, so they compensated a lot of money to the male doll. The boss was furious.
"Why don't you report to the official?" Liu Yiyi was puzzled.
"The rich family has done a lot of bad things, and they have been bribing the officials, and the officials have received money, so where will they care about such a trivial matter." The boss didn't dare to say too loudly that the official office was bad, so he lowered the volume.
"These dog officers." Liu Yiyi gritted her teeth and said angrily, no wonder her mother was so disgusted with these high-ranking officials and rich families.
Ji Linlang secretly put her hand on Liu Yiyi's hand and patted it, signaling her to calm down.
Xie Miao took the opportunity to continue to ask: "Has the boss heard that there will be murderers in those recent nights to murder high-ranking officials and wealthy households?" ”
"I've heard that everyone in the big guys is afraid, so now few people come out to set up stalls at night, for fear of disaster and fish." The boss continued to chat with them, anyway, no one came to have morning tea so early, "But I don't have any money, and I haven't done anything bad, so I'm not afraid." ”
Ji Linlang listened while eating, thoughtful. It seems that the news of these cases has spread widely, and I am afraid that the murderer has already hidden his tail, which is difficult to handle.
So, she quickly took a few bites and wiped her mouth: "I'm ready to eat, let's go." ”
Then Liu Yiyi looked at her bowl and felt that it was almost there, so she also took a few bites and followed Ji Linlang to get up.
Xie Miao had already finished eating and was waiting beside him, and Wen Yan followed.
