Chapter 16 Laughing and sighing

Soon, Huo Yuanji and the others came back with their respective investigation results.

According to their investigation, the eight people on the death list, except for one of whom was relatively wealthy, the rest of the people were not particularly poor, but they were definitely not rich, and could only be said to be average.

And after learning these things, Gongsun nodded slightly, and said with a clear expression: "I see, it's really right......"

Everyone was already puzzled, but after hearing this, they suddenly became even more curious, and they all looked at Gongsun.

Seeing this, Gongsun smiled and said, "I know that you must have a lot of questions in your hearts now, so let me explain them to you one by one." ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes brushed over, expecting to solve their doubts.

I saw that Gongsun took out the missing page account book and another list from the book on the side, put them together with the list that everyone had just handed back, and then said: "I don't know if you have found that except for the insiders of the Hakka Village, the other names in the two lists can be found in this account book." ”

Hearing this, everyone picked up the two lists and compared them with the account books one by one. After a moment, they all nodded slightly.

"That's true. ”

"This account book is the account book of the Hakka Residence that records the guests, and the date recorded on it is the fifth day of the second month. Therefore, on those two lists, except for the insiders of the inn, the rest of the people, we can be sure, are all guests entertained by the inn on the fifth day of the second lunar month. It's just that for some reason, these people are divided into two categories, one is a must-kill, and the other is unavoidable. ”

"That's right. But does this have anything to do with you asking us to investigate their family situation?" Xue Tianhan asked, touching his chin.

"Of course there is a connection, I ask you to investigate their family situation, one is to confirm whether there is really a reason for them to let the flower butterfly do it. But as it turned out, no. ”

Gongsun smiled slightly.

This also shows that these people will be targeted by flowers and butterflies, and the root cause, most likely, will happen in the Hakka residence. ”

"What?" everyone was surprised!!

"You say the roots...... It is likely to be in the Hakka Village, what does this mean?" Bai Fan asked with a slight surprise on his face.

That's what it means literally. ”

"What do you mean...... They were killed. The root originated from the Hakka village. Xue Tianhan touched his chin and groaned slightly.

"Not bad. Gongsun nodded slightly.

Tang Fengling was puzzled: "But, just went to the inn, how could he get into the trouble of killing?"

Gongsun smiled slightly and said, "This, we have to talk about the reason why they were killed." Judging from the body of Li Ren that we found, his belongings were intact, and it is certain that his death was not a murder for money. And we have also inquired before, Li Ren is a very good person on weekdays, rarely makes enemies with others, and has never offended anyone. Therefore, it can also be concluded that he did not die as a result of vendetta. is neither for wealth, nor for vendetta, and does not conform to the characteristics of the person killed by the flower butterfly, then there is only one possibility left for his death. That's ......"

"Kill people!"

Before Gongsun finished speaking, he listened to Xue Tianhan take the lead and grabbed the white way.

Gongsun glanced at him and nodded, "Not bad!!"

Ling Miaoyin groaned slightly, and then said: "You said that their death was because of murder, which means that they should know something extremely important and that others don't want them to say." Moreover, this incident should still happen in the Hakka residence. ”

"Not bad!" Gongsun nodded.

"But, then, the people in this account book should have known about it at that time. Then why, only the people on this list have become the target of killing?" Wu Dongtian wondered.

Gongsun smiled again and said, "Is this...... I ask you, if I want to silence someone, is there any other way than to hurt that person?"

"This ......" Wu Dongtian was slightly stunned.

Before he could answer again, he listened to Xue Tianhan on the side speak, "This matter is simple, just seal it with money." ”

Gongsun nodded and smiled faintly.

"Yes! I told you to inquire about their family situation, and to judge whether they were in dire need of money, and it turned out that their family was in good condition, but there was no urgent need for money. ”

Hearing this, Wu Dongtian suddenly realized.

"Oh...... I understand. If the family is okay and there is no urgent need for money, it means that they are not the kind of people who are very short of money, and if they have a little conscience, then the possibility of not accepting hush money will increase. ”

"Yes, but because of this, they have become the target of killing. And these people, because they accepted hush money, escaped the catastrophe. ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

"Therefore, it is imperative that we first find out what happened in the Hakka residence on the fifth day of the second lunar month. Secondly, find the three people who are still alive in this death list and protect them, if our inference is correct, they should be able to give us more clues. Even the true identity of the man behind the murderous list of them. This person can make the flower butterfly do things for him, and his identity is bound to be not simple. ”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions froze slightly, and at this moment, everyone felt the seriousness of the matter.

"Let's go find these three men first. ”

After that, Xue Tianhan and the others were about to leave the room, but they were stopped by Gongsun.

"Don't be so anxious, everyone is tired all morning, let's go back and rest first. After all, there are more important tasks waiting for you in the afternoon. ”

"This ...... Okay!!"

Everyone hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Immediately left the grandson's room and went back to their rooms.

However, just as Huo Yuanji was about to go back, he heard Gongsun's voice behind him: "Yuanji, don't say I didn't remind you, in your room, there is a surprise waiting for you!"

"Surprise?"

Huo Yuanji was confused, returned to the room full of doubts, and as soon as he pushed the door, the whole person was stunned.

"This ...... It's ......"

He looked at the scene in front of him and spoke incoherently.

I saw that in the middle of the room, a shadow sat quietly at the square table, looking at Huo Yuanji who pushed the door in with a smile.

"You're finally back!"

The sweet glutinous sound sounded for a moment, making the pretty face of the beautiful woman in front of him deeply imprinted into Huo Yuanji's mind.

It's Lin Feifei!

In front of it, there is also a soup pot, jade casting, on which there are nine dragons circling, lifelike, exquisite to the extreme.

"You, why are you here?"

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Huo Yuanji looked incredulous. He would never have imagined that he would see her in his room.

"I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Lin Feifei got up with a smile and immediately unveiled the soup pot in front of him.

Huo Yuanji's eyes suddenly flashed again!!

"It's ...... Qibao Yan?"

"That's right!" Lin Feifei nodded slightly, and then added, "And I just made it, and I have already eaten the previous one." So, you don't have to worry about the taste of this superb dish. ”

Hearing this, the look of surprise on Huo Yuanji's face became even stronger.

"You, did you actually make another one? and waited for me to come back?" In addition to being surprised, Huo Yuanji's eyes were a little more moved.

Seeing this, Lin Feifei hurriedly said, "You...... Don't get me wrong!!I didn't do it for you, I just ...... I don't want someone to say bad things about our Liufeng Building and ruin the reputation of the store!!!...... Definitely not just for you. ”

In the end, her little face was extremely rare and slightly red, and her eyes were slightly closed. Huo Yuanji, who was watching, trembled slightly.

At the end, he smiled.

"I know. He nodded slightly, then picked up the spoon on the table and savored it to himself.

"You...... You know?" Lin Feifei opened his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

I saw Huo Yuanji smile even brighter after tasting a spoonful of soup lightly. "yes, I know. ”

The girl lowered her head slightly, and her face turned even redder.

......

......

The street market is noisy. The market is bustling.

But it still can't stop the coldness and hesitation of people's hearts.

The old woman who shouted injustice carried the wooden sign of injustice and walked down the street with a sluggish expression, her eyes were blank, like a walking corpse.

Passers-by along the way seem to have become accustomed to her strange scenery. Therefore, although she walked in the middle of the city, she did not attract much attention. Even if there were, it was just the curiosity of some outsiders.

Secondly, there are some sympathetic or pitying glances.

No one has ever really asked why she is holding a wooden sign of injustice, and no one has asked her who and what she is crying out for injustice.

Or rather, they knew, but they didn't believe it. I just think that this is just her crazy words after she misses her son too much and goes crazy!!

Yes, in the eyes of the people of Youzhou, she is just a crazy woman who went crazy because she couldn't accept her son's murder!

But, she knows that she is not crazy!

She also firmly believes that her son must have been wronged!

For this reason, she did not hesitate to hold a wooden sign of injustice every day and shouted injustice all over the city. I only hope that someone can really hear her grievances.

But it's a pity that in the eyes of the people of Youzhou, she is crazy. Even if he is curious about his behavior, after the explanation of the acquaintances next to him, he will believe that she is a madman.

No one will believe what a madman says. If there is, it can only be a madman.

But how could a madman understand her grievances?

Therefore, her heart began to hesitate and began to be confused. Started to get confused.

Because she doesn't know if doing this by herself will help her son?

She didn't know any of this.

The only thing she knows is that her son has absolutely not killed anyone!

"Hey...... Young master, look, isn't this the crazy lady of the murderer Liu Jingyan?" A voice suddenly reached the old woman's ears.

The old woman's dull eyes flashed slightly, and she looked forward, only to see that not far ahead, there was a young man in fancy clothes and several people dressed as housekeepers pointing at her.

The young man in gorgeous clothes, the old woman knows, it is the son of Fu Yin, who is rampant and domineering in Youzhou - the evil young Ling Mo!

In the past few days of shouting grievances, she has seen this evil young man robbing people's daughters in broad daylight more than once, and she has also seen more than once that passers-by have walked by with a blind eye and completely ignored them.

I saw that under the guidance of the family members, Ling Mo immediately laughed when he saw the old woman shouting injustice.

I heard that this old woman went completely crazy after his son was imprisoned, and every day she held a wooden sign with the word "injustice" and shouted grievances all over the street. ”

Ling Mo said as he walked towards the old woman with a dozen followers behind him.

Seeing this, the old woman wanted to avoid the little bully, but she didn't realize that she had just turned the corner and was stopped by Ling Mo's entourage.

"Yo, crazy woman, where do you want to go?"

Ling Mo gently shook the folding fan in his hand and ordered his entourage to surround the old woman. Immediately, Pi looked at the old woman without smiling.

The old woman did not want to pay attention to this gentleman, who was notorious in the whole city, so she did not say a word, and turned again.

But she was already surrounded by Ling Mo's entourage, how could she get out?

Before he could move, one of the attendants in front of him sneered and waved his hand, slapping the old woman in the face.

The old woman fell to the ground on the spot, half of her face slightly swollen.

"Presumptuous! My young master asked, he dared to be so rude, he should be beaten!" said the beater with a sneer.

Ling Mo was extremely happy to hear such obvious flattery, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Brush......

For some reason, after a gust of wind blew, the entourage that had just beaten people suddenly flew out upside down and slammed into a nearby wooden wall, making an extremely dull loud noise.

The wooden wall then broke a large hole, and sawdust flew everywhere.

The sudden shocking change shocked everyone present, and no one knew what happened at that moment just now.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

"Today's young people are really getting more and more disagreeable, and they don't know how to respect the elderly, they really deserve to be beaten!"

The voice was ethereal, and he couldn't feel the direction, as if he was coming from the void, which shocked Ling Mo!!

"You...... Who are you? Yes...... Have the ability to come out and hide ...... Hide your head and show your tail, count ...... What kind of hero is he?"

His voice was intermittent, his body trembled slightly, frightened and horrified, and at this moment, his eyes filled his eyes.

And just as his words landed, he saw a silver-haired and white-clothed figure suddenly appear in the crowd, with fairy wind and bones, like a master outside the world.

It's the Ice King!!

As soon as Fang Fang appeared, he waved his hand directly, and suddenly, a cold momentum was like thunder, directly hitting the entourage who was sent out just now.

In an instant, that person directly turned into an ice sculpture!

And witnessing the scene of it turning into an ice sculpture, Ling Mo and the other entourages were instantly frightened, and boundless fear slowly crawled out of their eyes.

At that moment, the Ice King spoke.

"If you don't want to be like him, you'd better disappear from my eyes immediately!!Otherwise, ......"

As he spoke, the Ice King stretched out a hand, and the boundless cold air on it was shocking!

Hearing this, Ling Mo and the others dared to stay there, and immediately scattered and fled at the fastest speed in their lives, and in an instant, they had disappeared without a trace.

At the scene, in addition to the Ice King and the old woman, there was one more person.

"This kind of thing really still needs you to come forward!!" Yan Zun looked at Ling Mo and the others who only had a trail of smoke and dust left, and smiled slightly.

The Ice King smiled, but looked at the old woman on the ground and asked, "Are you alright?"

The old woman stood up and shook her head, "I'm fine. Thank you two for your help. ”

As she spoke, the old woman picked up the wooden sign and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yan Zun.

"It's just a gesture, you don't have to worry about it. But there is something about the deity that I want to take the liberty of asking. ”

"Even if Engong has something to say, the old body must know everything. ”

"Oh, it's not a big deal, I'm just curious, why are you holding this wooden plaque?

Hearing this, the old woman was stunned for a long time, and then sighed heavily.

"Engong didn't know that the son of the old body was wrongfully murdered a woman surnamed Bai a few days ago, and the old body was the one who shouted for him. ”

"Killed a woman surnamed Bai?" Hearing this, Yan Zun's eyes flashed slightly, and then he asked, "Forgive the deity for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, but the name of Ling Lang is called Liu Jingyan?"
