Ru Yi sighed helplessly, what is this procrastinating back and forth, she doesn't like it at all, she waved her hand and said, "Ah Liang, you go quickly!" With that, she turned back to rest on the mat and ignored him.

"Daughter-in-law......" Yuan Liang muttered, staring at her reluctantly, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

Outside, the jailer told Yuan Liang to leave quickly, and Yuan Liang lowered his eyes and left the cell lonely. Before leaving, he gave a sum of money to the two jailers guarding the cell today, hoping that they would take good care of Ruyi for him in prison.

Today's two jailers are not the two who were on duty last night, and they are not unreasonable, after all, they are also from poor families, since the family's request is not excessive, they can help if they can for the sake of money, and there is no way to help if they can't be busy.

……

The next day, Yuan Liang got up early in the morning to look for clues, hoping to solve the case as soon as possible. Xiao Ya didn't want to stay alone in Rufu, and she was afraid of being talked about by others, so she disguised herself as a man and went out with Yuan Liang.

When the two of them left Rufu, they didn't have breakfast. Xiao Ya saw that he was so desperate, afraid that he would not be able to bear it, so when he passed by the steamed bun shop, he bought six steamed buns, ate two by himself, and gave the rest to him.

She brought the bun wrapped in oiled paper to him and said, "Brother Yuan, let's have some breakfast!" ”

Yuan Liang shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry." ”

At this time, he was in a solemn mood, bent on solving the case, and had no appetite at all, even in the face of the meat buns he once loved, he couldn't eat them.

Xiao Ya raised her eyes and saw that his delicate facial features were covered with husseins, his eyes were red, his spirit was not good, and he couldn't bear it, so he persuaded a few words: "Brother Yuan, if Sister Ru sees your current appearance, she will definitely feel distressed, let's eat a little breakfast, it's good to work when you're full, how can you work if you don't have the strength?" ”

"Okay, I'll eat." Yuan Liang thought of the weakened figure of Ru Yi in the prison, he took the bun with a slight trembling fingertips, held a big meat bun in his right hand, and devoured it.

Obviously, the buns are very fragrant, but he can't taste any fragrance.

After eating the buns, the two came to the alley where Wen Biao's residence was located again. In the alleys, from time to time, there are merchants who are hawking and passing through.

Last night, Yuan Liang thought all night, maybe he could start the investigation with the strange man first, but he didn't know the man at all, and he didn't know what the man looked like, so such an investigation would undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack.

Then I thought about it, and I thought of the little boy I saw yesterday, and maybe I could learn more about the specific situation from his mouth.

The two didn't know where the little boy's family lived, and walked all the way along the cobblestone path to the end.

When I met him, the little boy was holding a sweet potato in his hand, he smelled the fragrance, showed a salivating appearance, swallowed his saliva, but was not willing to eat it.

He walked slowly ahead, and Yuan Liang and the others quietly followed behind the little boy.

The boy entered a dilapidated house with a crooked roof, which would be uninhabitable if it were windy or rainy.

Yuan Liang stood in front of the broken window, and Xiao Ya behind him stood in the deserted courtyard.

Through the cracks, he saw the little boy standing beside the bed, and saw a thin woman lying on the dilapidated bed. She was bedridden all the year round, her face was yellow and thin, and her body was languishing, but when she saw the child back, she had a loving smile on her face. She said, "Little Bean, are you back?" ”
