Luckily, they were lucky. Before completely disappearing from the boy's field of vision, the carriage stopped.

stopped at the door of a restaurant, and then the rich man Liu walked down, and Shi Shiran walked up to the second floor.

This piece is full of restaurants.

The boy walked into the dark alley, found a hidden corner, and squatted down, motionless. The eaves of his head could not block the rain, and the wind seemed to blow from the depths of the alley, taking the raindrops away and wetting his clothes little by little.

He didn't care. That's how he's been on countless rainy nights in the past. The loneliness and coldness that children fear most are used to being with them.

It got dark quickly, the market began to light up, and the boy chose a good location, always hiding in the dark.

He was as quiet as a statue.

After a while, the wind and rain did not decrease, but the raindrops that slapped on him became noticeably less. Then there is something on the neck that is soft and silky.

The boy tilted his head slightly, and saw Chitose standing beside him, looking like a fairy. The wind passed by her first, blowing the corners of the moon-white sleeves and gently puffing on his neck.

It got dark, and Chitose turned back into her body.

She crossed her arms and said to him condescendingly: "The clue you said is the businessman who came to drink and eat in a carriage?"

The boy nodded.

"It's so stupid to hide here and blow the wind and get watered. She looked at him as if she was laughing at him, "Wait here." ”

With that, she walked out of the alley and walked towards the restaurant.

At this time, the people in the restaurant should be able to see her? The boy looked at the guy at the door with amazed eyes, and couldn't say half a word for a long time.

She went upstairs.

The boy waited for more than an hour. After he had wiped out the entire box of mung bean cakes, Chitose carried a basket downstairs and walked into the distance under the gaze of passers-by, quickly disappearing into the rain.

His feet were numb, and he switched to one foot to support his body. Looking up again, Chitose was already standing in front of him.

He was not surprised by this. The wooden bell was on him, and she couldn't go far, just to show the people in the city.

"The man you're staring at is a rich man from Yicheng, surnamed Liu, who is drinking upstairs with a few merchants and talking about business. "Chitose went up and basically had the information he needed, "The wine is almost drunk, he should come down now." Just now, he explained that the restaurant had made six more dishes, which he wanted to pack and take away, and explained to the merchant at the same table that he was going to bring the third concubine for supper. ”

"Liar, the standard of lying is too poor!" she smiled disdainfully, "The sign of this restaurant is said to be roast pig's trotters." What woman have you ever seen nibbling on a whole hoof?"

The boy immediately remembered Old Lady Liu. Women don't eat hooves, but she chews them very well.

Thinking of this, he looked at Chitose's hand, which was empty. When she went downstairs, she was obviously carrying a basket.

"It's out. She pointed forward.

Rich Liu went downstairs with a few businessmen, all of whom were full of wine and food. After saying goodbye to each other, he carried two large food boxes in his hands and boarded the oncoming carriage.

"Let's go. Chitose smiled, "Let's go and see how beautiful and edible the third aunt of Rich Liu is." ”

￥￥￥￥￥

It was almost curfew time, and the boy was easily stopped by soldiers when he walked on the road. Chitose simply carried him in his hand, climbed on the roof of the house as if he were walking on the ground, and even walked faster than the carriage of the rich man Liu below.

...... It seems that nothing has anything to do with him. Taking advantage of this, the boy touched a piece of mung bean cake and came out to eat it, and Chitose glanced at him: "Gluttonous little ghosts are easy to be trafficked." ”

She didn't seem to like him no matter how she looked at him.

The boy ignored her. He wants to be trafficked, at least someone who eats and drinks and doesn't starve to death.

The carriage had to travel several miles before it came to a halt at the mouth of an alley. When the rich man walked down, the coachman walked to the door of a family with an umbrella and knocked on the door.

It was a maid who answered the door, and the rich man Liu sent the coachman away.

When he entered, there was a sound of a lock on the door.

"One, two, three...... Chitose counted, "Including this Liu Fat Man, there are eight people in the house." Two are women, and five are particularly vigorous, all of whom are practicing families. ”

Rich Lord Liu came to love his third aunt, why are there so many men in the house? Chitose stroked his chin and said to the boy: "These people inside have a keen sense of the six senses, and you can't hide them if you get close." I can give you a trick to obstruct your eyes, but the time limit can only last for one stick of incense, so don't make any abnormal noise. Also, your heartbeat and breathing must slow down. ”

The boy nodded.

So Chitose pressed a few times beside him, and he felt the surrounding scenery distort slightly, and then returned to normal. Then she handed over a round ball the size of a finger: "Swallow." ”

The ball was soft and had a little sweetness, but when swallowed, a cold breath rose from the abdomen and traveled through the limbs.

Soon, his whole body froze, and even his heartbeat and breathing became extremely weak and slow.

But the strange thing is that his mind is still awake, his five senses are also keen, and he receives everything from the outside world correctly.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Chitose carried him close to Liu's house.

She couldn't take three or five steps, so she pointed forward.

The boy looked in the direction of her fingers, but saw that under the shadow of the staggered dougong, there was actually a person hidden!

The man was dressed in black, and stood still. If Chitose hadn't specified it, I'm afraid the boy might not have noticed it when he approached.

He was taken aback, but his heart was a little happy.

I think it's a dark whistle. In the past, the gang of sticks went into people's houses to steal things, and they also wanted to find him to watch the wind outside.

Although Rich Man Liu is rich, he is not a big man, why is there a secret whistle hidden on the roof of his third aunt?

It can be seen that the information given by the stick is true, and the murderer of the City Lord's Mansion case may really be in the house!

It is said that he almost opened the scoop for the stick yesterday, but he was not worried that this person would make a small report to Liu Caizhu. A businessman paid to inquire about the whereabouts of an eight-year-old beggar, which itself was full of strangeness, and the current situation was sensitive, if the rich man Liu knew that his secret was leaked to others with a stick, he would first trouble him.

The stick is not a stupid person.

Chitose couldn't help but smile when he saw the dark whistle, obviously thinking of going with him.

There was movement from below.

Rich Liu had already entered the courtyard, that is, two men greeted him and walked with him into the side room.

The window was so tightly closed that the boy couldn't see inside, except for a little light coming out of the crack.

There are people inside.

Rich Master Liu stayed in this room for more than 20 breaths before he came out, empty-handed.

The two large food boxes were left in the house.

A man in the courtyard jumped on the roof, lowered his voice and said to the dark whistle, "Shift, the boss told you to go down for supper." ”

The sentry nodded.

Soon there was a slight movement in the room, the sound of pouring water and eating. The boy couldn't hear it, but Chitose knew it clearly. She even heard someone inside talking in a whisper:
