Chapter 14: Strange Murder
Old General Xiao got up and picked up Su Qingtian and put it on the high chair beside him, picked up a meat bun and handed it to her.
"Good girl, this is a cabbage meat bun, and this bowl of white fungus soup is also yours."
The two adults handed food to the baby while eating.
Su Qingtian was not polite, hunger was the first priority, she lowered her head and ate a mouthful of meat and porridge.
Although he wanted to stay with his granddaughter for a while, but the affairs in the army were complicated, General Xiao asked Su Qingtian and Xiao Yichen a few words after eating, and then took Meng Fang to the barracks together.
Xiao Yichen took a sip of rice porridge, and saw that Su Qingtian had almost eaten, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Qingtian, your cousin Nan woke up, and I heard that you came to Fengcheng, and he clamored to see you." ”
"When you're full, do you want to go see him with your little uncle?"
"He'll be happy to see you."
The little girl tilted her head and thought about it, glanced at Xiao Yichen again, and then shook her head.
Xiao Yichen was stunned, he didn't expect the little girl to refuse, and her originally hopeful eyes slowly dimmed.
The Xiao family has been sporadic over the years, and he just wants the people of the Xiao family to love and help each other and be happy.
The two juniors are not very old, and he originally thought that these two children could become playmates very quickly, but ......
But he won't blame Su Qingtian, after all, the little girl has suffered a lot along the way, and her heart must be very estranged and vigilant against strangers.
In addition, the letter from the capital mentioned that she has lived an inhuman life over the years, and now that she has been loved by her father and herself, she naturally does not want to share her family affection with other children.
Reaching out and grabbing a piece of mung bean cake, Su Qingtian saw at a glance that Xiao Yichen had misunderstood herself.
She took a sip of porridge and swallowed the food in her mouth, and said in a sweet and glutinous voice: "Little uncle, I like little cousin very much." ”
Xiao Yichen turned his head to look at the little girl, and heard Su Qingtian continue, "It's just that someone is going to look for you out soon, and I want to go with you." ”
"When we get back, let's go see my little cousin together."
Hearing the little girl's words for no reason, Xiao Yichen couldn't help laughing.
Although he is the youngest son of the General's Mansion in this border fortress, he is also considered dignified and outstanding among the sons of the family in the capital, but now he is a wasted person.
In addition, the recent rumors that the national teacher said that the Xiao family was a disaster star have spread in the city, and the number of people willing to associate with the Xiao family has gradually become scarce, not to mention this kind of impossibly impossible temporary invitation.
Seeing that the little girl's little face was full of seriousness, Xiao Yichen couldn't bear to break it, and couldn't help but reach out and pull the little tug on her head.
This little girl deliberately made herself happy, so she casually pulled out these things.
Xiao Yichen couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.
Before he could make fun of his little niece, a government soldier hurriedly entered the side hall, bowed his head and clenched his fists, "Little boy." ”
"What?"
Xiao Yichen touched Xiao Tu's hand and paused in the air, looking at the person who came and frowned slightly.
"Lord Liu has something important to see, and the person is already in the front hall."
Lord Liu?
Liu Zifeng?!
Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Don't be lazy, tell Lord Liu, I'll go immediately!" ”
Liu Zifeng Lord Liu, he is the county commander of Fengcheng, and when he was on a mission, he accidentally rescued Xiucai from the hands of mountain bandits.
Unexpectedly, in the second year after the Xiao family was semi-exiled and moved to Fengcheng, Liu Zifeng was transferred to Fengcheng as the county commander here.
Liu Zifeng is low-key and pragmatic, and he is a nerd who doesn't talk much.
But he has great righteousness in his heart, and he is a character whose grace will be reciprocated by a drop of water.
Therefore, in the next few years, on the surface, Liu Zifeng never took the initiative to contact the Xiao family unless necessary, and almost did not interact with the Xiao family in private.
But Xiao Yichen knew that the Xiao family could live a peaceful life when they fell into Fengcheng, and Liu Zifeng helped a lot in secret.
Today's sudden visit must be a very important event.
Someone tugged at his sleeve, Xiao Yichen turned his head and saw the little niece on the side, really pulling his long sleeves, and his eyes suddenly showed a trace of helpless pleasure.
The events of last night were still vivid, and he couldn't help but suspect that his precious group had rumored abilities that should not be underestimated.
"Let's go."
When Su Qingtian heard this, she jumped off the wooden bench and pushed the confused Xiao Yichen towards the front hall
"Xiao Qingtian, how did you know that Lord Liu would come to me today?"
"Could it be that you are a little immortal, and you can pinch your fingers?"
Xiao Yichen quipped.
"Because of that and that." Su Qingtian thought about it for a while, then organized the language and explained lightly, "Because of the wooden sign, he came to find my uncle." ”
Hearing the strange wooden card, Xiao Yichen was silent.
The inscription on it, combined with the evil on the roof last night, suddenly weighed on his heart again.
Xiao Yichen's hands holding the armrests couldn't help but exert force tightly, and the white joints and bulging hands crunched.
In the front hall, Liu Zifeng stood in the center in an official robe, he was long and straight, his face was indifferent but his eyebrows were furrowed, which made his originally handsome face have an aura of not being angry and arrogant.
Hearing the sound of the wheelchair rolling, Liu Zifeng turned around and looked anxiously out the door looking for Xiao Yichen.
As soon as the corners of the other party's clothes were revealed, Liu Zifeng rushed forward to give up.
"Little boy."
Ignoring the greetings, Liu Zifeng went straight to the point, "There was a strange murder case on Nanxi Street in Dongfang City. ”
Xiao Yichen was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Zifeng to mention the murder case, and before he could ask, he listened to Liu Zifeng continue.
"The deceased is a man in his thirties, surnamed Wang Mingben, who trades pork in the vegetable market in Dongfang City on weekdays."
"This morning, my wife, who returned from her mother's house, found the deceased dead in the house."
"The strange thing is that the room is covered with blood stains all over the room, and there are dark red handwriting on the walls, beds, floors, and even the beams."
Xiao Yichen, who was still puzzled that this murder had something to do with the Xiao family, was silent.
I don't know if it was intentional by the current saint or the national teacher, only the Xiao family surnamed Xiao in the entire Fengcheng was born.
The direction of this word is too clear, but anyone who sees the scene of the crime must be the first to think of Xiao Fu.
No wonder Liu Zifeng came to visit early in the morning, he must have discovered the strangeness and eye-catching purpose of this matter.
"The preliminary investigation of the official determined that Wang Mang had nothing to do with the Xiao family."
"Even the people in your house have no contact with him, at most they have crossed paths when they were selling meat in the vegetable market a few days ago."
"But all the Xiao characters in the current house point to the fact that it is related to your mansion at this time, so I have to ask the little boy and the official to go to the scene of the crime."
It's not big, it's not small, but it's still an innocent life.
He originally found General Xiao directly according to the process.
But Liu Zifeng knew in his heart that someone deliberately framed the Xiao family, and he chose to find Xiao Yichen and go through the process for the sake of routine.
