The gesture he just made represented not falling asleep, but dying. Chitose was slightly startled, "You mean, Zhu Jian is dead, and that family sacrifices to him?"

The boy nodded.

Chitose couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. "Zhu Lian is already dead! Look at it like this, the first seven have not yet passed, how can there be a dead man's name on the wooden bell?"

This time, the boy first pointed to the white lantern, then held the wooden bell in both hands, and made a gesture to put it back on his neck.

Chitose couldn't help but press her eyebrows. This kind of beautiful night should only be drunk alone to the moon, why does she have to stand on the wall of others, and play with a stinky person who wants to eat, guess I'll guess everyone?

The boy was a little anxious, and repeated these two actions, but this time he pursed his lips and said two words silently:

"Zhu Lian. ”

Chitose could tell from the shape of his mouth: "He's related to the wooden bell?"

The boy gestured as if there was a boxy thing in his hand.

She said uncertainly, "Plates?"

He shook his head.

"Box ......?" she's the worst at guessing puzzles!

Then he made another gesture of opening the lid and picking up the object.

"Take something out?"

He gestured to the wooden bell on his chest again.

"Did you take out a wooden bell?"

Nod.

"Your wooden bell was taken out of the box. ! I knew there must have been a seal on it. She rolled her eyes and deduced, "But the box and the bell have something to do with this guy?"

He nodded vigorously.

"He died because of you?"

The boy shook his head. No, even if he doesn't show up, that person will inevitably die, and he won't carry this pot.

She exhaled impatiently. Alas, it's so tiring to guess. She had to get rid of this little mute quickly, otherwise she would have to live by guessing dumb riddles in the future.

She doesn't have that much time to waste!

"He's from the City Lord's Mansion?" Yicheng is so small, and the murder is just like that, it's easy to guess that the dead person is related to the murder of the City Lord's Mansion.

The boy gave her a thumbs up.

Chitose was silent for a few breaths: "This person ...... Isn't it the unlucky guy who handed you the wooden bell?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the boy grinning.

This is really perfect reasoning, she couldn't help but feel to herself for two seconds, and then sank her face:

No, because this idiot died at an inopportune time, she let the wooden bell fall into the hands of a beggar, and she wanted to recognize an eight-year-old child for the first time!

"Why can a dead man affect the heavens? Well, isn't it because of the wooden bell?" she rolled her eyes a few times, "Let's go, let's fight quickly!"

The boy jumped straight off the wall. In the alley, I turned around and made a quick move towards the white lantern. He was familiar with the road conditions, and he was not wrong.

He didn't look back. Didn't she just say that she couldn't leave him thirty feet away. He passed, and she had to pass.

Chitose naturally knew this, so she had no choice but to float down.

￥￥￥￥￥

The white lantern and Liu Quan's house were just a few houses apart, and the boy turned around a few times, and then stood at the door of the house, and knocked on the black wooden door.

It was so late, and there were no other pedestrians in the alley. The white lanterns swayed in the night wind, adding to the bleakness.

"Who?" said a woman in the door, her voice low and crying.

Chitose frowned. She could sense that there were two living people in the house, no, two and a half. And they are all women, and the resentment and obsession they exude are much more violent than those around them, and they cry endlessly.

The mute can't speak, and Chitose clasps his arms and doesn't intend to make a sound. The boy had to knock on the door himself, this time with a little force, so as not to frighten the people in the house.

They had good ears, and they could hear small footsteps approaching the wooden door, and then there was no sound.

The people inside are weighing the dangers. Before the murder of the City Lord's Mansion, Yicheng was a relatively safe town, and the neighbors knew each other......;

The man inside hesitated, and the boy suddenly spoke.

He couldn't speak, so he had to "ah" twice. The night was silent, and the strange sound came far away, and the people inside the door naturally heard it.

Chitose gave him a surprised look.

They didn't get along for a long time, and she always felt that there was something in this kid that shouldn't belong to him at all, and that was dignity. The dumb man could not speak, only made a rough and unpleasant sound, so he was never silent, even if he was in danger, he would not be so ashamed.

Now, he is willing to expose his shortcomings.

It was a long time before the door creaked open.

A woman poked her head out and saw no strong man outside, only a small boy standing. She looked blank: "Who are you looking for?"

The boy gestured to the room behind her and made another incense gesture.

He came to worship the dead. The woman understood, and her already crying and swollen eyes were misty again. The boy looked unthreatening, but it was unusual that he suddenly appeared at her door in the dead of night. "You came by yourself, and what about your family?"

This child was born well, but he was a little dark and too thin. Besides, Yicheng is such a big place, she doesn't remember seeing such a male baby.

Before the boy could reply, a girl in Tsing Yi walked out of the corner, and looked dissatisfied with him: "You really sneaked here! Wouldn't it be good for Ming'er to visit again, it's so late now!" and apologized to the hostess of the house, "I'm really sorry." Is this Zhu Lian's family?"

This woman is so beautiful, even if her eyebrows are slightly frowned, she has thousands of styles, and the owner of the house, who is a woman, is stunned, and she can't come back to her senses for a long time.

The boy blinked, then received a roll of the eye that Chitose had secretly thrown over.

Chitose called again, and the hostess woke up like a dream, and unconsciously brushed her sideburns: "The deceased husband is Zhu Lian." You, may I ask who you are?"

The woman in front of her is more beautiful than a fairy, and her whole body is even more expensive, which makes her ashamed. Even the city lord's wife did not have this kind of bearing during her lifetime.

How could such a person have an intersection with her husband?

"Half a year ago, we passed through Yicheng and our property was stolen, and it was your husband who recovered it for us. "Chitose came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't even have to type the draft," I came to Yicheng again a few days ago, and I wanted to come to the door to thank you, but I didn't know that I heard such bad news...... "After that, you sighed.

She had a relative. What's more, Zhu Jian has passed away, and the family has no property, what is there to worry about others? Thinking so, the hostess of the Zhu family took a step back: "Please come in." ”

One big and one small entered the door and followed her towards the mourning hall.

The Zhu family is not much different from the ordinary families in Yicheng, but the house is slightly larger than Liu Quan's house. It can also be seen from here that Zhu Jian was a close confidant of the city lord before his death, and his salary was more generous than Liu Quan's.
