Anyone who raises his head and sees such a face in front of him will be frightened, don't doubt it, Liu Yuan personally tested, he was frightened and took a step back.

"Who are you?" the tone of the catcher was not too good, perhaps because of grief, perhaps because of the sudden intrusion of an unrelated person.

"I'm ......" Liu Yuan was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, and said in a hurry: "I'm a friend of Lin Zhutou, come up and take a look at the situation." ”

"Oh?" Hearing that it was Lin Zhutou, his expression softened slightly.

Hearing the sound of conversation, they all came back to their senses, and coincidentally, two of them Liu Yuan had also seen, and they were the two who stopped him in front of the Qinglou before.

Thinking about it, he also recognized him, knowing that he and a Taoist had assisted them in catching heads and solving the case before, the two nodded at him and said, "It's Lin Zhutou's friend." It can be regarded as recognizing Liu Yuan's identity.

After saying that, Liu Yuan took a few steps forward, stood beside the deceased, and bowed deeply, these people helped the people to arrest the murderer, and they put their heads on the belt of their trousers, and they had already put life and death out of the way, so it was reasonable for him to do so.

"Have you ever seen the face of that murderer?" asked Liu Yuan as he straightened up, looked back at the catcher who had stopped him earlier.

The latter shook his head, followed by another catcher who replied: "I came with Ji Cheng, I only hated myself for being a step late, and when I went upstairs, I only saw the figure who broke through the roof and escaped, but I didn't see my face, and then Lord Lin ran in." ”

Ji Cheng was the deceased lying on the ground, Xiao Yu quickly said with his fists clenched, the green tendons burst out, and the bone joints made a clicking sound.

In this way, the only person who saw the murderer was the deceased on the ground, Liu Yuan frowned, thinking in his heart that he didn't know what was going on on Lin Zhutou's side.

"I haven't asked for advice yet, my friend's surname?" The big round face from before took a step forward and looked at Liu Yuan with a fist and asked.

"Oh, in Xia Liu Yuan, I opened an inn on Tuyun Street. Liu Yuan also returned the salute and said.

"Deng Fei. The big round face answered his name succinctly and said: "After that, the yamen has to deal with some things, which may not be very convenient, and I ask you to leave first." ”

"This, it's okay, then I'll take my leave first, you work hard. Liu Yuan wanted to wait here for Lin Zhutou to come back, but now it seems that it can't be done, so he walked to the stairs and went downstairs in three or two steps.

There were a lot fewer people on the first floor, and when he went out of the gate of the courtyard, he was blown by the cold wind on the street, and Liu Yuan's chaotic thoughts were cleared up a lot.

The murderer must be arrested, and the matter of Jiming Mountain must also be investigated, and I don't know when the county magistrate will be able to come down when the dispatch order from Shangfeng will be able to come down.

By the way, there is also the abnormal situation in the inn, thinking about Liu Yuan makes me feel a headache.

Unconsciously, Liu Yuan walked to the door of the previous grocery store again, but unexpectedly found that the door of the grocery store was closed.

Standing in front of the threshold, Liu Yuan shook his head and smiled, and said to himself: "It seems that the shopkeeper is also a timid person, as soon as he heard that there was a murder outside, he quickly packed up his things and went home." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yuan suddenly paused, looked at the closed door in front of him, and was stunned: "That's not right." He hadn't forgotten the humble expression of the shopkeeper before.

The more he thought about it, the more confused Liu Yuan became, and he always felt that he might have missed something.

Wandering in front of the gate, little by little reminiscing about the previous picture.

After about half a pillar of incense, Liu Yuan stood in place and patted his thigh, he thought of the shopkeeper who said that the splint space on the second floor had not been used for a long time, but when Lin Zhutou pulled the baffle violently, he didn't even raise a little dust.

This doesn't make sense, the shopkeeper lied, he must have used this small second-floor space recently, and more than once.

But what made Liu Yuan wonder was why the shopkeeper wanted to hide it in this matter, and when Lin Zhutou opened the baffle, he should indeed not find anything abnormal.

It's a pity that the conflict happened at the wrong time, or it was too coincidental, it happened to be the murderer at that time, if there was time for Lin Zhutou to take a closer look, he would definitely be able to find out.

Around the grocery store in front of him, Liu Yuan turned back and forth, and found that it was a fully enclosed room, and there was not even a back door, and there was no other way to enter except to break in from the front.

can only start from the side, Liu Yuan looked left and right, and saw a male doll with peach-heart-shaped hair, who was the one who was still smiling at himself when he entered Changning Street before.

Liu Yuan walked over, squatted down, and the male doll tilted his head again, shouting and smiling at him with his fingers, he was really not afraid of life.

"Do you often come to this grocery store, do you know how long this grocery store has been open?" Liu Yuan asked with a soft smile as he looked at the male doll.

"Yes, it's been a long time...... the male doll took out the fingers in his mouth, and compared his hands exaggeratedly, and before he finished speaking, a woman appeared behind him and picked it up, the same one he had seen before.

I saw the girl looking at Liu Yuan vigilantly, and at the same time said to the boy: "How many times has my mother told you that you are not allowed to talk to strangers." ”

"Brother, brother, he's not a bad person. The little doll held her fingers and said indistinctly.

"Well, girl, I'll ask you something. Liu Yuan didn't care, and smiled and said the question he had asked before.

"Why are you asking this?" The woman still looked at him with vigilant eyes, making Liu Yuan cry and laugh, did he look like a bad person.

I guess I can't say a suitable reason, and the girl won't take care of herself.

So Liu Yuan took out a copper plate from his arms, and he didn't know how much money it was, so he handed it over directly: "Don't worry, I'm helping Yamen solve the case, not a bad person." With that, he smiled and thought I was a good person.

You must know that it is not easy for a person like Liu Yuan, who can save supper and breakfast, to take out so many copper plates.

From the clothes of the women and male dolls, Liu Yuan can infer that the family may not be well-off, so Liu Yuan is confident.

Sure enough, the woman's heart was moved, and she asked in disbelief, "Really?" Liu Yuan nodded.

It's not a big deal, the woman thought about it and replied: "This shop also sells something early, and it opens before dawn every year, and it has been open for three or four years." After speaking, he took over a dozen copper plates and held them tightly in the palm of his hand.

At the same time, the doll whispered, "I'just... Say, my brother is not a bad person. ”

It turned out that it had been three or four years, and Liu Yuan followed up and described the appearance of the shopkeeper he saw, and asked, "Has the shopkeeper of the grocery store always been this person?"
