13 Jiahe Mystery Case (2)

Although they had just been arrested and put in prison in the morning, when they walked out of the palace, no one came to stop them.

Xiao Yi said that it was estimated that it was because Lu Shenjun had already determined who the real culprit was, so it didn't matter if they were shut down or not. Yun Zhi saw that he looked like an old god, and he didn't think much about it, but felt that Lu Shenjun's investigation speed was really fast.

As they spoke, the two of them had already walked together on the street in the center of the town.

Because of the successive murders, the mayor of the town was killed by lightning in full view of everyone, and the two entrances and exits of Jiahe Town were guarded by the people of the Criminal Prosecutor's Department, and the whole town is now only in and out.

After last night, most of the residents of the town hid in their own houses and did not dare to go out, there were only three or three people on the street who ran to help the wind and frost people who walked the rivers and lakes, and the rest of the people also stayed honestly in their respective places, waiting for the release of the criminal prosecutor's department, and there were a few who were tired of sitting in the inn, so they leaned against the door and scolded their mothers.

Yun Zhi happened to be passing by, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Yi walked beside her, couldn't help but look sideways at her, and when she saw her low eyebrows and smiling, she also curled the corners of her mouth.

After all, this was the first time Yun Zhi had gone shopping since she came here, and even though the street was deserted, she still looked around curiously. Passing by a candy shop, Yun Zhi remembered that there were not a few pieces of sugar left from the palace, so he pulled Xiao Yi into the store.

The two guys in the store were chatting, and they didn't even notice that the guests entered the door, Yun Zhi and Xiao Yi didn't disturb others, and walked around the shop by themselves.

Most of the sugar here is a small piece of syrup that has been boiled and dried, similar in shape, most of the color is very dark, dark brown, and it is difficult to distinguish the taste when placed together, Yun Zhi got closer and smelled it, but he could barely distinguish some of it.

She quickly chose what she wanted, and went to beckon the two guys to come over and help pack them, and when she walked to the counter, she heard the two of them talking about the mayor's death last night.

——

One of them said, "It's also strange, how did the jade become copper?" ”

The other person snorted, "Yesterday, the Zhao family's high mountain also said that it was a punishment of retribution, in my opinion, someone must be a ghost!" ”

——

Yun Zhi frowned, and hurriedly asked, "What you said is true, but what happened last night?" ”

Suddenly hearing someone speak, the two guys stiffened, looked back, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then, one of them recognized Yun Zhi, "Huh? Aren't you the girl who told everyone not to touch the old mayor yesterday? Come buy candy? ”

Yun Zhi is a fresh face in the town, and last night was also in the limelight, and many townspeople have an impression of her.

"That's right." Yun Zhi smiled, revealing a gossip on his face: "What happened last night, but what is the secret?" ”

Xiao Yi also walked behind her, just now the guy had already walked out of the counter, seeing him also felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, seeing that he had been following Yun Zhi, he led the two of them to the shelf where the candy was placed.

While walking, he lowered his voice and spoke: "The two of you don't know, what we are offering in the ancestral hall is a jade cong that has been passed down from generation to generation for a hundred years, and on weekdays, the mayor of the town holds the jade cong to lead everyone to worship the ancestors, but yesterday the old mayor held a jade cong to lead everyone to worship their ancestors, but yesterday the old mayor held a ...... in his hand."

Speaking of this, the guy paused, revealing a puzzled and anxious look, and Yun Zhi took his words smoothly, "It's Tong Cong." ”

"That'......s right," the guy was robbed of the words, and licked the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "It's Tong Cong!" Someone must have secretly replaced it! ”

Yun Zhi and Xiao Yi glanced at each other, and asked suspiciously: "But it doesn't make sense, copper and jade are very different, how can the mayor not be able to identify them?" ”

The fellow sighed, "Then I don't know, but I think it must have something to do with the old mayor's death!" The old mayor is so good, how can there be any heavenly punishment? Even if there were, it wouldn't fall on him! ”

As they spoke, the three of them had already walked to the candy shelf, and the guy continued to ask, "What kind of candy do you two have?" ”

Yun Zhi picked a few, paid the money and left the store.

。

On the way back, Yun Zhi asked Xiao Yi what he thought about the matter.

Xiao Yi seemed to be waiting for her to ask a question, and replied without thinking: "Yu Cong Tong Cong is the key to this case, as long as this mystery is solved, the case will naturally be solved." ”

"Heroes see the same thing!" Yun Zhi turned his head sideways, looked at the already familiar person in front of him again, and said with a smile, "You are a person, although you are not very bold, your brain is easy to use." ”

Xiao Yi chuckled, "You're bold." ”

"That's it!" Yun Zhi looked proud, suddenly remembered something, and looked at Xiao Yi with a flattering face, "That...... Look, this time you're injured, am I saving your life? ”

Xiao Yi smiled, "Of course. ”

Yun Zhi smiled, "That'...... I owe you those ...... Is it possible to write it off? ”

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure?" There are a lot of things that can be exchanged from me for life-saving graces. ”

How could he say this with a little temptation, Yun Zhi couldn't resist the temptation, and hurriedly asked, "For example?" ”

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically, "What do you want?" ”

Seeing his serious expression, Yun Zhi couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at him in surprise, "Can you really change things?" Except for the ones I owe you before? ”

Xiao Yi snorted, "Really." ”

Yun Zhi thought carefully for a moment, "I've thought about it!" I'm going to fall! ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yi, who had always thought that he could see through this girl's mind at a glance, couldn't help but be stunned, "You...... What do you want to do with Yuluo? ”

"I'm going to break into the rivers and lakes, and I need a person with strong martial arts to protect me, and Yuluo's martial arts are very strong!" Yun Zhi smiled, her reason is not fake, she is still in the stage where she can't recognize all the words, and she has come out of the palace with a lot of money, it is really dangerous to go to Yanguo alone, and she really needs someone who can take care of her.

But she suddenly thought that she didn't seem to have seen Yuluo again in the past few days, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, what about Yuluo?" Haven't seen her since the last two days? ”

Xiao Yi pulled the corners of his mouth, and his tone was light: "Unfortunately, she also saved me, and I gave her a holiday." ”

Yun Zhi sighed, a little face collapsed, and after a pause, his eyes were full of anticipation again, "Xiao Yi!" Aren't you some young master? Do you have a lot of people under you? Do you think you can ......? ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently shook his sleeve, staring at him.

Xiao Yi was a little hesitant: "Yes, yes, but it may not be to your liking." ”

"I can't ask for much! If you can protect me, and then you can talk to me! Yun Zhi said, and added: "I can also pay him!" Just when I hire someone from you! ”

She doesn't know anyone outside, even if she hires a bodyguard, she doesn't feel at ease, Xiao Yi is her second brother's friend, and she has a good relationship, and there is a life-saving grace in the middle, he will definitely not harm himself, and his people must be trustworthy.

"This is a ...... request" Xiao Yi frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled helplessly, "I can only come in person." ”

Yun Zhi was stunned, stared at him for a long time, and pointed at the other party, "You? He pointed to himself again, "Can you protect me?" ”

Suddenly couldn't help laughing, "With your courage and martial arts, it's not certain which of us will protect whom, right?" ”

"......" After holding back for a long time, Xiao Yi finally sighed, "Then let's do it, after all, you have to pass through Ming'an when you go south to Yanguo, and when the time comes, you can go to Qingyi Villa and pick one yourself." ”

Can you still pick your own? At this time, Yun Zhi was satisfied, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder twice, "I knew you were reliable!" ”

Before the words fell, I saw Xiao Yi's expression change, covering the place where she had been photographed and gasping, and his brows were furrowed tightly.

Yun Zhi then remembered that he still had an unhealed arrow wound on his shoulder, and immediately felt guilty in his heart, raised his hand and stretched it forward slightly, but he didn't dare to touch him again, he only looked at him with worried eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot, you ......"

Seeing that his face also began to turn pale, Yun Zhi was in a hurry, took out a piece of candy he had just bought and stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered: "It doesn't hurt if you eat sugar." ”

Xiao Yi swallowed the sugar, his expression really eased a lot, Yun Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, didn't say anything more, and hurriedly sent people back to the inn.

Then, Yun Zhi went out alone.

She wants to inquire about the progress of this case, she wants to leave as soon as possible, and no one can leave if the case is not solved. But she didn't want to arouse Lu Shenjun's suspicion anymore, so she could only quietly go to the ancestral hall to find Ah Yu and Pei Shun.

。

The ancestral hall of Jiahe Town was built in the south of the town, and there was a shadow wall in front of the door, and there was an open space in front of the wall for the townspeople to gather. Last night I built an altar in front of this shadow wall.

Yun Zhi bypassed the shadow wall, and the ancestral hall was empty.

It's strange, even if Ah Yu and Pei Shun have already gone back, the people from the Criminal Prosecutor's Department should have left a few of them.

The sky was clear, and looking at the dense tablets and candles in front of him, Yun Zhi still couldn't help but feel a spirit.

This is a place where people worship their ancestors, and she didn't dare to make too much noise, so she only shouted a few words softly A Yu and Pei Shun, and no one answered, so she dared to go inside.

She had just crossed the wall behind the tablet when suddenly, a dark shadow quickly pounced on her.

said that it was too late, Yun Zhi dodged sideways, grabbed his backhand, and fell neatly over the shoulder, pressing the person to the ground.

The man struggled desperately, Yun Zhi used his strength to press his knee against the man's back, and held the person down, and the man saw that he couldn't break free, and began to let out a strange whining sound.

"Oops, let him go, let him go!"

Behind him, an old voice staggered, Yun Zhi turned his head, and the old man with gray hair and beard ran over with an anxious face.

"He's not a bad guy, girl, let him go."

The old man looked kind, Yun Zhi frowned, thought for a while, retracted his knees and got up, as soon as his hand was released, the man on the ground turned over and wanted to pounce on her again, but was stopped by the old man.

"Courteous! Don't mess around! Come over here. ”

The man seemed to be very afraid of the old man, and when he heard this, he immediately retracted his body and stood obediently beside the old man.
