"How is that possible?" Ye Caitang didn't believe it: "Just live in front of the old man, called, what's it called...... Skinny, so tall ......"

Ye Caitang continued to make a blind comparison, the old man is so tall, he is not well nourished in this era, and he is quite thin.

Jiao Chunhua sat down by herself: "You said Lao Liu? ”

"I don't know, maybe." Ye Caitang said: "But he said that it was the daughter-in-law of the tofu seller here, and there were potted flowers at the door." Isn't that your home? ”

Selling tofu is not a popular job, and if there are more people selling, you can't sell it.

Jiao Chunhua's violent temper became popular right now.

"What nonsense is Lao Liu talking about? Who takes advantage of this and picks up things and doesn't change them? ”

Ye Caitang was a little scared, not pretending to be afraid, but really afraid.

If she encounters danger, such as mountain bandits or something, Xia Yue, who is hiding in the shadows, will definitely bravely rush out to protect her and save the beauty heroically.

But now facing an aunt who sells tofu, Xia Yue is likely to be embarrassed to rush out because she loves face, leaving her to face a bleak life alone.

She said cautiously, "Then, where were you the afternoon before yesterday?" Haven't you really been to the village? ”

"Nope." Jiao Chunhua shouted impatiently: "Sister-in-law Zhang, sister-in-law Zhang......"

With the shouting, a woman who was not a few years older than Jiao Chunhua came out diagonally.

Jiao Chunhua said: "Sister-in-law gave me a testimony, this girl has to say that I picked up her clothes at the big poplar tree at the entrance of the village the afternoon before yesterday." It's inexplicable, and Lao Liu Tou is also inexplicable, I have been doing needlework with you the afternoon before yesterday, where have I ever gone out? ”

Ye Caitang said sorry to Lao Liu Tou in his heart, and he didn't know who the old man who was wronged by her was.

When the aunt next door heard this, she nodded again and again: "That's the case, that's right." Little girl, let me tell you, Lao Liu's eyes are not good, he must have seen it wrong. ”

Ye Caitang was suspicious: "Huh? ”

The aunt patted her chest and said, "I can testify, the afternoon before yesterday, after lunch, we were doing needlework in the yard while basking in the sun, and we didn't move our nest all afternoon." It wasn't until the sun went down that they parted. ”

The aunt nodded as she spoke, very determined.

"Oh, the kids are playing around, too. can all testify. ”

As she spoke, the aunt shouted twice.

Two seven or eight-year-old children rushed out of the yard.

As soon as they asked, the two children said the same as the aunt, just gossiping, and after nodding, they began to say that they fell while playing on a swing in the yard yesterday afternoon, and caught some strange little insects, crackling, until Ye Caitang touched a bag of snacks from his waist bag and stuffed them with it, so he gave up.

Ye Caitang's heart is dripping blood, and she is not rich.

However, a bag of snacks appeased the anger of the two women, and Ye Caitang hurriedly said: "I don't know if it's the old Liu Tou you said, but it's a very old man, maybe it's wrong, I'll look for it again." ”

Jiao Chunhua was originally angry and wanted to scold, but the child opened the paper bag and stuffed a piece of candy in her mouth.

She couldn't scold.

Although her family is better than simple farming, she is still poor, and she is not willing to buy such a bag of sugar for her children until the Chinese New Year. If you eat people with a soft mouth, why are you embarrassed to scold?

"I'm so sorry." Ye Caitang's attitude was particularly good: "I'm bothered, I'm bothered." ”

Then Ye Caitang fled in despair.

Jiao Chunhua opened her mouth, but she didn't catch up.

Smash it, smash it, the sugar is quite sweet, and she said to herself, this girl seems to be in a hurry, and she doesn't know who she was deceived.

Ye Caitang fled quickly, and sure enough, he saw Xia Yue and his party hiding far away.

Seeing Ye Caitang retreat with his whole body, Xia Yue and the others greeted him.

Xia Yue was smiling, as if he was a warrior who greeted the triumphant return, while Ye Caitang just wanted to roll his eyes.

"Your Excellency." Ye Caitang said dissatisfiedly: "You said you want to protect me, you are hiding so far away, in case she wants to beat me and shout for help, you won't be able to hear it." ”

"How is that possible?" Xia Yue said without hesitation: "Although I am far away, my heart is always on you, and I know that you have a little wind and grass." I won't leave you alone to face the murderer. ”

……

The catchers are going to throw up.

Ye Caitang also felt a slight discomfort in his stomach, but he didn't expect Xia Yue to be such a boss, in order to shirk responsibility and hide timidity, he could say anything.

Well, who called him the boss?

"But my sugar is gone." Ye Caitang said: "You have to reimburse this adult." ”

"Report and report." Xia Yue said repeatedly: "Go back and buy you two packs, no, buy five packs." ”

Before getting rid of Ye Caitang's two packs of dim sum, Xia Yue also lost four packs. Every day, some unequal treaties that humiliate the country are signed.

Worthwhile!

Ye Caitang was satisfied.

Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a straight face: "How is it, have you asked clearly?" ”

"Clear." Ye Caitang said: "I didn't go out the afternoon before yesterday, so I shouldn't be a murderer." And I don't look at Jiao Chunhua's babbling character, and she doesn't look like a murderer. ”

How could the murderer be found so quickly, they had made long-term plans early on.

Xu Xiangyu followed them for most of the day, and said with great emotion: "It's not easy to catch fast, this is a borderless search, when do you have to find it." ”

I could see that he was quite disillusioned.

At the beginning, I felt that the people of the six gates of the capital were so majestic and domineering.

I ran for a day, monotonous and boring, and I wasn't as domineering as I imagined.

There is no such thing as kicking open the suspect's courtyard door, pulling out his sword, and then holding his collar for questioning.

Xia Yue is a tall and tall adult, and he also speaks softly, touching the old and weak women and children, and asking Ye Caitang to sell cuteness, which simply subverts the three views.

After eating, let the two catchers go to rest, Xia Yue and Ye Caitang sat down opposite each other to sort out the day's information.

To be the boss of the six doors is really to be both civil and military.

The recorded information was spread out on a table, and the list that had been excerpted from the household department before, the first batch of about fifty, had all been asked, and at present, it seemed that there was no suspicion.

They all had alibi evidence. Moreover, Wang Xi died in Qingquan Town, from Nanshan to Qingquan Town, this is not something that can be done in two hours, it takes at least two days to go back and forth, so many people do not need to doubt it.

"Hey......" Ye Caitang pulled the information and pulled it away: "I always feel that something is wrong." ”

They asked nearly thirty people that day, which was easy to ask, but with the time spent going back and forth, it was more.

"That's not going to work." Xia Yue frowned and nodded: "Either add manpower, or, you have to think of a simpler way." ”

Around Nanshan, if you continue to ask like this, it will take too long not to say, and it is easy to make mistakes.

We must find a way to shorten the scope of suspects.

The two thought face to face, and for a while, neither of them spoke.

Knock knock!

Someone knocked on the door, it was Xu Xiangyu.

Xu Xiangyu was probably tired after running for a day today, so he came to ask for instructions: "My lord, you still have to stay here for a few days, I will go to the town with the big car tomorrow to buy more vegetables and meat, do you have anything to bring?" ”

After Xu Xiangyu finished speaking, Ye Caitang and Xia Yue looked at him at the same time.
