Chapter 16: Danger

Xu Taiping was instantly alert.

But he remained silent.

There is danger!

But I don't know where the danger comes from!

In this situation, we can't mess with ourselves.

So.

Along the way to reveal a little coveted color.

But he quickly pretended to be embarrassed and coughed twice, returning to a serious appearance.

The change of demeanor is extremely fast.

Then he gave his hand: "Sister-in-law, I am Xu Taiping, the new head catcher promoted by the county order, and this time I came here to thoroughly investigate the murder of Brother Hu on the order of the county order." ”

Wang Zhang's eyes were red, and he turned sideways to cover his eyes.

The tone is finer and softer.

There is also a pity for the grief.

"The surviving Wang Zhang, thank you to Master Xu, thank you to the county master."

"Sister-in-law is polite, this is what I should do," Xu Taiping said politely: "Sister-in-law, can I go in and talk in detail?" ”

"Master Xu, please, please catch the master."

After Wang Zhang finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the courtyard, opened half a door, and invited Xu Taiping and the others to enter.

Xu Taiping slapped Wang Dashan on the back of the neck.

A big-necked slipper woke Wang Dashan from the imagination of the gods.

Then.

Wrapped around Wang Dashan's neck.

Said viciously: "It's really embarrassing to step on a horse, and if you dare to show such a wolf in the future, go and see the warehouse!" ”

Visiting the warehouse is a quiet errand.

But also poor.

It's the least existential in the fast class.

Almost nothing good.

Just because there is almost nothing in the warehouse of the fast catching class, the standard oxtail knife that is worn daily is worth a little money, and there are only a few spare ones.

Except for a few spare oxtail knives, all that was left were ropes, iron rulers, saddle bridles, iron chains, and the like.

There's no oil or water to speak of.

Wang Dashan woke up suddenly.

showed a look of shame: "Xu, Master Xu, it's not that I'm not angry, it's really my sister-in-law who is too tempting......"

"Huh?"

"Ahem, the little ones don't dare anymore."

Say yes don't dare.

But he muttered in a low voice: "The little one just thinks about it, and I know that I can only think about it, but Xu Ye is young, strong, tall and handsome and has entered the martial arts again, and there is a chanceβ€”β€”"

"Smack-"

Xu Taiping didn't wait for Wang Dashan to finish speaking.

Raising your hand is a slap in the face.

Iron blushed.

Pointing out of the alley: "Get out, go back and kneel, let Wu Liuyi supervise, when will you kneel for two hours, when will you get up!" ”

"Xu Ye?"

"Get out!"

Wang Dashan was really angry when he saw Xu Taiping.

Don't dare to say more.

Turned around and ran away.

Xu Taiping took a deep breath.

Organize your emotions.

Dressed up.

shouted at the other equally unbearable catchers: "Guard at the door, without my order, you are not allowed to step into the courtyard!" ”

He arched his hand towards Wang Zhang's in the courtyard: "Sister-in-law, please put two chairs in the courtyard, I only ask you some questions." ”

Wang Zhang curtsied.

Move two chairs and a small table out.

Placed at the front entrance.

It can be seen at a glance from the main entrance.

took out a small purple clay pot and two small pastel teacups: "Master Xu, please take a seat." ”

"Sister-in-law, please."

Sit opposite each other.

Wang Zhang poured the tea gently.

Xu Qing asked straight to the point: "Sister-in-law, did Brother Hu have any disputes with you before his death?" ”

"No, I didn't."

"Really?"

"Since the slave family married into the Wang family, they have been serving their mother-in-law and husband and children, and they have never had a dispute with your brother Hu, and they don't dare."

"Oh? Does that sister-in-law know that Brother Tiger has an outhouse in the east of the city? ”

"Yes, yes."

"Didn't quarrel over it?"

"How dare the slaves?"

"Oh?"

Then.

An old lady opened the curtain and came out tremblingly.

Chao Xu Taiping said: "My daughter-in-law is fleeing from the famine, helpless, and soft-tempered, but my son has a rough temperament and does not know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and beats and scolds at every turn, not to mention her, even the old body does not dare to quarrel with him." ”

Xu Taiping hurriedly got up and gestured to invite the old lady to sit down.

But the nerves collapsed even tighter.

Wrong!

Something is wrong with this old lady!

I don't know what's wrong!

Something is wrong anyway!

Why don't you take a look at it?

There are other fast catchers watching outside, and there are two skills: "hiding a knife in a smile" and "cutting through the mess with a quick knife", which is safe and secure.

Come to think of it.

Activate "Discernment".

At the same time, do a "support" pose.

Politely: "Hey, old lady, please sit down, please take a seat." ”

Over there.

Zhao Liu also hurriedly stood up: "Mom, don't say these words, the family is ugly......

"Besides, Minghu is no longer there, so it's useless to say this."

said, and apologized to Xu Taiping: "Master Xu, I'm sorry." ”

Then, help the old lady to her seat.

Stand aside by yourself.

Xu Taiping waited for the old lady to sit down, and then sat down.

The expression is still calm and slightly modest, like a very polite petty official.

But.

The hairs stood almost upside down.

Under the effect of "discernment".

In just a few seconds, he captures many details that are extremely difficult to detect.

The gait is wrong!

Too calm, which does not match the appearance and age of the old lady.

The weight is not right either!

When she sat down, the chair made of iron wood made a slight "creaking" sound, judging from this, this old lady who looked weak and couldn't help but weigh more than two hundred pounds.

The eyes are even more wrong!

There was no trace of sadness in his eyes, but a faint hint of ferocity, like a hunting leopard.

Xu Taiping only felt a chill in his throat.

There is a feeling that you will be bitten in your throat at any moment.

Besides.

Wang Zhang's eyes when he looked at the old lady were also abnormal, and he looked afraid.

And it's extreme fear.

The old lady only turned sideways slightly, and Wang Zhang shivered.

This is a stress response.

It is a conditioned reflex that only forms after being in extreme fear for a long time.

In addition, there are some details that are also full of disobedience.

Xu Taiping worked hard to write down and analyze every detail he observed within the time frame of the skill effect.

At the same time, he casually asked about some things related to Wang Minghu.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Rise.

"Old lady, sister-in-law, can I go to the room where Wang Minghu lived before his death?"

The old lady nodded nonchalantly: "Look, look, there was nothing in the first place, and then it was all burned." ”

Xu Taiping entered the bedroom under the leadership of Wang Zhang.

The bedroom was very clean.

It was almost spotlessly clean.

But Xu Taiping keenly smelled a hint of fishy odor.

Similar to the one in the zoo beast park.

Made!

It can't be a monster nest, right?

Grass!

If that's the case.

The old lady died early, and now she's just a monster dressed in an old lady's skin, or a monster that transforms into an old lady.

In this way, it is logical that Wang Zhang is afraid of the old lady.

Well, it makes sense that Wang Minghu doesn't go home all year round.

Just inferred from this logic, there are more mysteries on Wang Minghu.

Wang Minghu must know or see through the identity of the old lady, so he tries not to go home, but lives in a foreign house.

But Wang Minghu didn't ask the county order for help, but felt a little like helping to cover up.

It's even weirder.

Could it be that Wang Minghu is in the same group as this old lady who is suspected of being a monster?

Xu Taiping's brain hole is big enough.

A lot of things come to mind in a flash.

But he just glanced around, and then politely withdrew.

He arched his hand to the old lady and Wang Zhang: "Thank you for your cooperation, sister-in-law, old lady, if you can find anything suspicious in the future, you must report to the official in time, or look for me directly." ”

The old lady nodded slightly: "If you want the old body to say, don't toss around, he has suffered retribution, retribution." ”

Xu Taiping didn't answer this conversation.

Again and again.

Lead a team to catch and leave quickly.

Leave the alley.

A catcher asked with a smiling face: "Master Xu, where are you going now?" ”

Xu Taiping did not answer.

Instead, he greeted him with a "catch-up" and ran away.

Go straight to Anshun Fang in the east of the city.
