Gu Zi's answer made He Qingxiao's eyes change, and his tone was still gentle: "Say it slowly."

He Qingxiao's peace soothed the little beggar's violently fluctuating emotions.

"Brother Ergou is not very bright here, and he sleeps at the base of the wall at night." Gu Zi pointed to his head, "Grandpa suddenly trembled that night, I was frightened, and I ran to find Brother Ergou for help. I didn't expect to see a person walking to the root of the wall from a distance and stopping at Brother Ergou'......

The memory made the little beggar look frightened: "I was curious, so I hid quietly, and saw that the person covered the mouth and nose of the second dog brother with something, and after a while, the second dog brother was dragged away...... I, I'm so scared, so scared......

The little beggar, tormented by guilt and fear, began to cry.

After that night, he thought many times that if he had the courage to shout at that time, Brother Ergou might wake up in time and not be dragged away.

But he didn't dare at that time, he was afraid that if he didn't wake up Brother Ergou, he and his grandfather would be in danger.

The little beggar didn't dare to look up, for fear of seeing the other party's disdainful expression.

Not only did he not dare to shout at the time, but he also did not dare to tell anyone later, let alone report to the official.

A big hand fell on his shoulder and patted it gently, "Guzi, have you seen the murderer's appearance? Can you tell us about it?"

Gu Zi suddenly shifted his attention, and said without recalling: "The man is very tall, wearing a long robe, and he doesn't look young anymore, but because the light is not very good, his face is not very clear......

In the past few days, he couldn't control his repeated recollections, and the appearance of that person not only did not forget, but became clearer and clearer.

"If you see that person again, will you recognize it?"

"Yes!" Gu Zi blurted out.

Although the face was a little foggy because of the light, he was sure that he would recognize it if he saw it again.

He Qingxiao asked the last question, "What kind of clothes was Ergou wearing at that time?"

"Brother Ergou?" When asked about the people he would see every day, Gu Zi tried hard to think about it before answering, "It's the same as usual, because it's too dirty and broken, I can't see what color and style it is."

He Qingxiao took the grain back to the bridge cave.

The beggar who had gone to buy pastries came back, and was devouring them, when he saw the two of them coming, his mouth bulging and almost choking.

Gu Zi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He Qingxiao instructed his subordinates to settle Gu Zi's ancestors and grandchildren, and went to Qingsong Bookstore alone.

In the reception room connected to the study hall, He Qingxiao found that in addition to the tea set, there were also two more boxes of nut preserves.

"Lord He, is there any progress in eucalyptus?" Xin Yu pushed the food box containing nuts in the direction of He Qingxiao.

He Qingxiao hesitated between eating a few pine nuts to save Miss Kou's face and getting down to business, but decided to get down to business first.

"An eyewitness was found."

Xin Yu's eyes lit up: "What did the witness say?"

In the past two days, the rumor that the shopkeeper of the opposite bookstore was arrested and taken away from the prison gradually spread. Xin Yu is not surprised by the rumor-spreading behavior of Yaxin Bookstore, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, some people are upright and open, and some people are dirty and unscrupulous.

But for the real murderer, she didn't listen to the wind and rain, and decided that he was the person from the bookstore opposite.

He Qingxiao relayed Gu Zi's words and took a sip of tea: "The witness said that Ergou was wearing his usual clothes at that time, and when Ergou's body was found outside the gate of Guozijian, the reason why Ergou was identified as a student of Guozijian was because he was wearing a long gown that students often wear. In other words, the murderer that night took away the sleeping Ergou and specially bathed him and changed his clothes."

"The purpose of the murderer's this-" Xin Yu pinched a pine nut and played with it, her brain spinning rapidly, "Do you want people to think that the scholar was gouged out by the evil ghost and involved the Qingsong Bookstore?"

"It's more likely. So Miss Kou thought about it carefully, who did Qingsong Bookstore offend?"

"Recently, the business of Qingsong Bookstore has been booming, and there must be a lot of red-eyed people, and the most affected is undoubtedly the Yaxin Bookstore opposite."

"The killer seen by the witnesses is taller, and he is the same as that of Yaxin Bookstore

The shopkeeper does not match. If Miss Kou can't think of someone special, I'll gather the people from Yaxin Bookstore together first, and let the witnesses identify them one by one."

He Qingxiao was talking when Liu Zhou's voice came from outside the door: "The owner, the owner of Yaxin Bookstore wants to see you."

Xin Yu raised her eyebrows unexpectedly and said to He Qingxiao, "Master He will sit down for a while, and I'll go out and have a look."

In the study hall, a handsome young man was looking in the direction of the door of the reception room, and the shopkeeper Hu was silently rolling his eyes.

Seeing Xin Yu come out, the young man smiled: "Miss Kou, the contemptible surname is Wu, she is the owner of Yaxin Bookstore, and she is here to apologize to Miss Kou today."

Xin Yu looked at the young man steadily, but in fact, his mind was completely captured by the terrifying picture that appeared in front of him.

A young man lay on the ground next to a well in a courtyard, and a man stabbed him in the heart with a knife, stirring wildly.

Blood splattered and splattered onto the man's face, and the man's eyes were scarlet.

Since childhood, Xin Yu has seen countless pictures, and most of the people who appear in the pictures have only encountered small bad luck, or have fallen, or touched them, and there are not many bloody and terrifying pictures in front of them.

Shopkeeper Hu saw that Xin Yu was distracted, and hurriedly reminded: "The owner-"

This kid is much uglier than Lord He, why did the owner give him so many eyes!

Xin Yu froze down, and what appeared in front of him was no longer a person lying on the ground like a salted fish to be slaughtered, but a young man with a polite smile on his face and a little smug in his eyes.

"Wu Dongjia."

The young man arched his hand: "The contemptible person has just learned that the shopkeeper of our bookstore has done such a thing, I am really ashamed, and I hope Miss Kou can forgive me."

As he spoke, he took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it over: "This is a contemptible apology, please accept it."

Xin Yu stretched out his hand to take it, stuffed it into the hand of the shopkeeper Hu, and smiled at the young man: "I accepted it, forgive me."

The young man was ready for the other party to refuse or even reprimand him angrily, but he was suddenly confused by Xin Yu's actions, and subconsciously looked at the shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper was even more confused.

Just forgive?

"I'm still entertaining my friends, so I can't keep them waiting. If there is anything else in the Wu Dong family, just tell our shopkeeper."

"It's okay, Miss Kou doesn't care." The young man walked away in a trance.

"Boss, you—" Shopkeeper Hu held up the small box.

"The shopkeeper will take it first, and I still have something to talk to Lord He." Xin Yu didn't care about talking to Shopkeeper Hu, and immediately walked into the hospitality room.

He Qingxiao touched the pine nuts for a moment.

Xin Yu walked over briskly and sat down on the opposite side.

"Lord He, I just met the owner of Yaxin Bookstore, and I suddenly thought of someone!"
