looked his eyes up and down, and found that Lin Zhutou was not only covered in sweat, but also had a tired face on his face.

There was no sign of injury, thinking that he still lost the person in the end, Liu Yuan was worried and relieved at the same time, at least Lin Zhutou did not have an accident.

"Uncle Lin. A little slower, Li Lanxin also saw Lin Zhutou at the door, swallowed the food in his mouth and said.

"Lin Zhutou, sit. Liu Yuan stood up and said with a smile.

"Water ......" Lin Zhutou nodded, walked over with heavy steps, and after sitting down, he only said one word in a hoarse voice, sweat continued to drip down his neck, and his clothes were already wet and dry, and now they were almost wet again.

Before Lin Zhutou could speak, Liu Yuan had already taken a porcelain bowl, poured a bowl full of herbal tea and pushed it over.

Picking up the porcelain bowl on the table, Lin Zhutou rolled his Adam's apple, and after a bowl of grunt, he picked up the teapot and poured a bowl by himself, and after drinking two bowls of herbal tea in a row, he wiped his mouth and eased up.

"What's wrong? Have you seen the murderer?" Liu Yuan hurriedly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Well, how do you know?" Lin Zhutou was just about to speak, but suddenly reacted and looked at Liu Yuan suspiciously, and asked, didn't he let this kid go, how did he stay in the inn and know what happened on Changning Street.

Since he asked so, Liu Yuan didn't plan to hide himself, and quietly followed Lin Zhutou during the day.

After all, he entered the house at that time, saw so many fast catchers, and said that he was a friend of Lin Zhutou, even if he didn't say it, he could know it from the mouths of his colleagues afterwards.

told the truth directly: "That, I followed you quietly, and when it happened, I happened to be nearby." Liu Yuan said with some embarrassment.

"You kid, you're really not afraid of death. Lin Zhutou pointed at Liu Yuan and said with a helpless smile.

I didn't doubt in my heart why Liu Yuan followed him and he didn't find the problem, after all, all his attention was on the case at that time, and it was normal to ignore behind him.

Then he looked straight, shook his head and said: "After the man landed, the people who walked the streets and alleys disappeared quickly, and when I chased down, I didn't even see a single human hair, and I searched until now, and there was still no shadow." At the end of the words, his expression was very solemn.

"Uncle Lin, what are you talking about, that murderer, that murderer, the gangster who kills people and digs out his heart, and his methods are extremely cruel, have you hidden in this part of the southwest corner?" Li Lanxin suddenly said, forgetting to put down the chopsticks still in his hand.

However, the look on Li Lanxin's face startled Liu Yuan, what is the matter with this eldest lady, what is the matter with an excited and excited expression, could it be that she still wants to catch the murderer with her own hands.

At this time, he especially wanted to yell in Li Lanxin's ear: Please see yourself clearly.

"Yes. Lin Zhutou nodded, and said: "Pay attention to yourself, I have to go back to report the news quickly, and soon this piece will be strictly investigated." Then he got up and walked out.

Just got up, but was stopped by Liu Yuan: "Lin Zhutou wait." Lin Zhutou turned around and was a little puzzled: "You kid won't still mess around." ”

"Take a step to speak. Liu Yuan stepped forward and took Lin Zhutou's arm, walked to the door of the inn, stopped at the corner on the left, and whispered what he saw in front of the grocery store today.

"That's it, so I suspect that the shopkeeper has a ghost in his heart, whether he is hiding something, and I can check it again when I have the opportunity. ”

Liu Yuan finally said, in fact, he didn't take this matter to heart, and the top priority at the moment was naturally to catch the murderer.

On the other hand, Lin Zhutou pinched his chin and fell into deep thought, and the picture in the grocery store came to his mind.

The shopkeeper's face, the counter, the wooden ladder, the second-floor plywood space, the open and full of debris, but there is no dust, but it seems to be hiding something!

Thinking of this, Lin Zhutou suddenly raised his head, looked at Liu Yuan's eyes and said, "Your news is too important, I have to confirm it again quickly, and you can help me tell the yamen the news that the murderer is hiding in this area." ”

Regardless of whether Liu Yuantong agreed or not, he turned his head and ran in the direction of Changning Street, his steps were extremely fast.

Liu Yuan was still stunned in place, looking at Lin Zhutou's distant back, yes, let's go to the yamen.

This matter had to be done as soon as possible, Liu Yuan went back to the house and briefly explained two sentences to Li Lanxin and the others, and then ran in the direction of the county office.

Thinking about the fact that he recruited other people's daughters to the inn as a partner, and the angels called him back, Liu Yuan didn't want to see the county magistrate.

I feel more nervous than my son-in-law coming to see my father-in-law for the first time.

After the meeting, if the county magistrate asked about his daughter's situation, what would he say?

Thinking about the mess in his heart, Liu Yuan was not slow at all, and there were not many pedestrians along the way, so he watched him run wildly on the long street alone.

turned the corner, but saw a man head-on, it was too late to stop at this time, and he was about to crash into it, and the person on the opposite side turned sideways and let go.

Liu Yuan continued to run forward without slowing down, but when he turned his head to look, he only saw the man's back disappearing around the corner, and roared: "I'm sorry, there is an emergency." I don't know if the man heard it.

Soon put this matter behind him, and he didn't think about it in his head, and it didn't take long to stop in front of the yamen, standing in the middle of the two stone lions, where Wu Er was next to the board on the street.

Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, and there were two officials standing at the entrance of the yamen, and on the left happened to be someone he knew, Deng Fei, who had a big cake face, stepped forward and said, "I have important news about the murderer, please ask Brother Deng to spread it quickly." ”

Lin Zhutou was about a stick of incense faster than Liu Yuan, ran to Changning Street, and stood at the gate of the previous grocery store at this time.

The sky has shown yellow glow, the gate is still closed, because of what happened on Bai Changning Street, the street at this time is empty, it seems extremely quiet, most of the courtyards are closed doors.

After knocking on the door to no avail, Lin Zhutou rushed into the grocery store without the slightest hesitation.

The room was very dim, only the light in front of the door, the figure of Lin Zhutou was pulled on the floor, the furnishings did not change in the slightest, Lin Zhutou let go of his body, and by the light in front of the door, he successfully found the wooden ladder.

Da Da climbed up and pulled the baffle, brushed out the fire fold on his chest and lit it, and everything was clearly seen against the firelight.

Looking inside, it was still the same as the day, but the suspicious Lin Zhutou stretched out his hand to wipe it on the board, and there was really no ash on his fingers.

Ping Pong pulled away the sundries, a blue burden came out in front of him, tiptoed, reached out to take out the burden, untied it with one hand, under the light of the fire, was a night coat that had dried up with blood......
