"Even if you want to kill, you don't need to sneak up on it from behind. However, you have also seen the current situation, there is only Ding Lei's body here, and Xiao Jinshui's whereabouts are unknown, how can this be explained?"

The spirit sparrow was silent, and after a while, said: "It's hard to say, I can't see anything at the moment, why don't we follow the clue of the footprints, and then go outside to have a look, maybe find something else." ”

Qiao Zhengyu's interest increased, and after hearing this, he nodded: "Well, it's okay, it's really difficult to judge based on these, to prove whether Ding Lei was killed by Xiao Jinshui, you must find other strong evidence." ”

He looked at the sparrow, then climbed out of the window and came out of the window.

Outside the window was a small path, straight and long, leading straight ahead. The two jumped out of the window and walked down the path.

After walking for a while, there was no way in front of the path, and when the two of them reached the end, they found a small door next to it. stepped forward and pushed the door open, only to see that the scenery under the mountain was exposed in front of me, and it was clear at a glance, it turned out that I had come to the back mountain.

"Brother Qiao, it seems that this is the back door of the Guanyin Temple. The mountain road ahead is difficult to walk, and if the murderer escapes into the mountains and forests from here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find it. The sparrow sighed.

Qiao Zhengyu felt a little sorry and said, "It's a pity, it's easy for a clue to be broken again." I was unwilling, and shook my head again and again.

The scenery in the mountains was very beautiful, but the two of them had no intention of visiting, so they turned around and returned to the main hall.

When he arrived outside the hall, he saw the two of them coming out, stepped forward, and arched his hand: "Qiao Daxia, what have you discovered?"

Qiao Zhengyu shook his head and said nothing, just sighed vigorously. After observing the words and expressions, he immediately understood in his heart, and he didn't ask any more questions, and the three of them returned to the inn.

When they arrived at the inn, they borrowed the yamen to say goodbye to the two, and Qiao Zhengyu found the innkeeper, arranged two rooms, and then went back to the room with Lingqueer to rest.

Qiao Zhengyu was lying on the bed alone, thinking about the details of what happened in the Guanyin Temple, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that the murderer of Ding Lei was Xiao Jinshui. But because there is no definite evidence, I can't help but be upset and irritable, and I can't fall asleep after tossing and turning in bed.

He was reluctant, so he got up from the bed, went out the door, and went to the room of the sparrow.

came to the door, knocked on the door, and said softly: "Sister, are you asleep, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Who knew that there was no movement in the room for a long time, Qiao Zhengyu was stunned in his heart, and pushed the door open, but saw that it was empty inside, and there was no Lingqueer.

"This girl, I don't know where she ran again?" Qiao Zhengyu said to himself, and came to the counter with doubts. At this time, it was afternoon, and the shopkeeper had already finished his work and went home to rest, and only the old shopkeeper was left in the counter.

"Shopkeeper, do you see the girl who came with me?" Qiao Zhengyu stepped forward and asked.

When the shopkeeper saw that it was him, he hurriedly smiled and said, "This guest officer said that the girl in white? Well, I saw her come out of the room half an hour ago, and then she went out of the inn and went to the east. ”

When Qiao Zhengyu heard this, his face was stunned, and he said, "Then do you know where she went?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but when she was leaving, she asked me what pharmacy was near here, and I thought she should go to the pharmacy." ”

"Pharmacy, what is she doing there?" Qiao Zhengyu was suspicious, and then asked, "Oh, this is indeed one."

Important news. Where's the nearest pharmacy around here?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "There is a 'Nianfeng Pharmacy' near here, not far from here, and you can go east when you go out." ”

Qiao Zhengyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and after thanking the shopkeeper, he went out of the door and went straight to the east of the city.

The city was very large, Qiao Zhengyu walked for a while, and saw a shop in front of him. Outside the side wall hangs a flower flag with the word "medicine" written on it, and at first glance it is a pharmacy.

Qiao Zhengyu caught up with him in a few steps and came to the door of the pharmacy, but saw a plaque hanging directly above it, with the words "Nianfeng Pharmacy" written on it. Nodding, he stepped into the threshold of the pharmacy and headed inside.

At this time, many customers in the pharmacy were grabbing medicine, and the shopkeeper and his buddies were very busy, and they didn't pay attention to Qiao Zhengyu's arrival. Qiao Zhengyu didn't bother, found a seat and sat down, and then slowly looked around.

This is a time-honored pharmacy, and it is not difficult to see from the layout of the store, and the service of the shopkeeper and the staff. The elegant environment, the faint medicinal fragrance, the ancient decoration, and a wall in the center, there is a calligraphy and painting hanging on it, on which are written the four big characters of "help the world and save people".

"Well, this pharmacy is elegant and fragrant, unique, no wonder business is so good. Qiao Zhengyu thought in his heart, and was secretly admiring when he suddenly heard a cry from outside the door, and then a woman rushed into the pharmacy with a rolling belt, sat on the ground and cried.

I heard the woman cry and say, "Poor my son, why did you leave like this, it is all my fault." If I hadn't listened to someone else and came here to get you some medicine, you wouldn't have left so soon. Whining...... "I can only hear a room of people as if in the clouds, you look at me, I look at you, a blank face.

The shopkeeper was in a hurry, and hurriedly glanced at the man beside him, and the man suddenly came to his senses, ran to the woman's side, pointed at her, and shouted, "Where is the shrew, dare to make trouble here!" and stretched out his hand to pull the woman.

The woman was still grieving, but when she was pulled by the man like this, she immediately aroused great anger, shook her hand and scolded: "Get out! Get out of here! I want to find the shopkeeper and ask him to pay for my son's life." He got up from the ground and threw himself at the shopkeeper.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man hurried to catch up, grabbed him from behind, and then walked out. But the woman was now in a rage, and she could not stop there, and her hands and feet danced wildly, shouting and crying.

Just listen to "smack, smack." After a few sounds, the guy couldn't help dodging, and his face had already been hit a few times, and he was so shocked that he let go of his hand, and immediately let go of the woman.

But as soon as he let go, the woman suddenly had no hindrance, did not stop, and cried and threw herself at the shopkeeper again. The customers next to her saw her pounce, and they all screamed in shock, and they had already dispersed and hid far away.

There was a counter between the woman and the shopkeeper, but she jumped up to the counter and grabbed the shopkeeper's collar with her hand: "You give back my son's life! You give back my son's life!" and cried and cried, very sad.

"Let go, you dead woman, I don't know you!" The shopkeeper was frightened by this, but he was also calm, and in his rebuttal, he glanced at the fellow again and again.

The fellow understood, rushed to him, pulled the woman's hand away, and then pulled her by the body, and walked towards the door again. The woman struggled to break free, but where was the man's opponent, he was pulled and pulled, almost dragging along the way

Seeing that he was about to pull out the door, Qiao Zhengyu couldn't hold back anymore and stepped forward: "Slow!"

Stopped in front of the guy and said, "This guy, but I don't know what this woman can't do with you, why can't you get along with her like this?"

The guy glanced at him, retracted slightly, and said, "Oh, this guest officer, you also saw that this woman ran into the store for no reason to make trouble, if we don't drive her away, then how can we do business." I also asked the guest officer to let me get this crazy woman out. ”

Pulling and pulling, trying to bypass Qiao Zhengyu.

"I'm not leaving, I'm not crazy, you will return my son's life!" the woman danced with her hands and feet, desperately trying to break free, her eyes full of despair and hatred. His voice was very tragic, and he only heard everyone's inexplicable heartache.

"Wait a minute, I don't think it's that simple, it's better to make things clear. Qiao Zhengyu stopped in front of the guy again.

"This 。。。。。。 The man hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the shopkeeper.

"Hehe, this guest officer, there is something to discuss. The shopkeeper walked out of the counter, came to Qiao Zhengyu with a smile, waved his hand and sent the guy away, and said with a smile: "The guest officer doesn't know, this crazy woman's son has an incurable disease, she came to the store last month to see a doctor and grab medicine, I didn't want to go to the doctor, but for the sake of her love for her son, I had to prescribe a few flavors of Chinese medicine."

But her son was already terminally ill, and even taking medicine would be of no avail. No, her son has only been dead for a few days, so he comes to the store every day to make trouble, saying that the store has killed his son and asking for compensation for silver.

I saw that she was pitiful, and out of humanitarianism, I helped her bury the deceased free of charge, and donated some silver taels to comfort her family. Who knows, this woman is not greedy enough, so she has come to the store again and again to make trouble, hoping to get more compensation. For such a person, do you think I should kick her out?"

Qiao Zhengyu listened to it and thought in his heart: "Isn't this just a medical trouble, but you can't listen to one side of everything, things are definitely not so simple." Otherwise, this woman would not be so foolish. ”

Sure enough, when the woman heard this, she immediately retorted, "He is talking nonsense, this is not the case. Yes, the whole thing was exactly what he said, but I didn't plead with the shopkeeper for a prescription. But when the shopkeeper found out about my son's condition, he didn't tell the truth, but prescribed all kinds of medicines on the spot and asked me to take them back for my son.

"Some of these herbs are qi-tonic, brain-tonifying, and even abortion-inducing. In short, there are all kinds of medicines, a mess and a big bag, and I received a few taels of silver alone, don't you understand that it is a pit person. Even if my son's death has nothing to do with him, it is most likely that he hastened his death by taking these useless medicines, and I came to him to pay him back my son's life, is it wrong? Whining...... ”

There was another burst of crying, lying on the ground, hands and feet fluttering.

Qiao Zhengyu nodded and thought: "So that's the case, but this kind of thing is not caused by the mistakes of one party, but the inevitable faults of both sides, which led to the current situation." ”

I understood in my heart, and said to the shopkeeper: "This shopkeeper, God still has mercy, so why bother us." People's hearts are flesh and blood, this woman has just lost her son, and her family is unfortunately grief-stricken, even if you give her some compensation, why not.
