Chapter 13: The Real Murderer
"I heard from the proprietress of the garment shop that the little beggars on the street were gone. Mo Tingyin walked up to Wei Zhao and said anxiously, "Aren't all the little beggars we rescued cured?
"It's all gone?" Wei Zhao's brow furrowed again, "Are she sure?"
"I went to the street with Aunt Wei, and I didn't see those little beggars. Mo Tingyin said with a serious expression, "I'd rather believe it than not, Lord Wei." ”
Speaking of the word "adult", she accentuated her tone. She wanted Wei Zhao to understand that it was his duty to protect the peace of the party.
"Go out and talk. Wei Zhao tugged on Mo Tingyin's sleeve and said, "The stakes are very high, we can't startle the snake." ”
The stakes are very high, and we should not act rashly and startled the snake. The Wu family is also hand-eyed in Xinglong Town, so they are still cautious.
It was the actions of these two who claimed to be smart that almost cost them their lives.
While looking for the little beggar on the street, they analyzed the current situation.
"Sure enough, there was no one. Wei Zhao asked Mo Tingyin, "Who do you think did to these little beggars?"
"It's hard to guess. Mo Tingyin analyzed, "It is possible that someone took advantage of the last incident to get these little beggars away to be coolies." ”
Wei Zhao nodded and said, "It is indeed possible, many of the people who work in the mine are orphans without father and mother. ”
Stopping, Mo Tingyin looked directly at Wei Zhao and said, "But it's more likely that we didn't find the real mastermind last time." He couldn't help but strike again!"
Even if someone comes to catch those little beggars, they can't all be taken away at once, after all, these little beggars walk the streets and alleys, and they are clever and slippery, and it is very difficult to catch.
"The real mastermind?" Wei Zhao repeated.
In fact, Wei Zhao guessed the same.
"Who could it be?" Wei Zhao looked down at Mo Tingyin and said seriously, "Could it still be someone from Wu Mansion?"
"Do you think it's Wu Cheng, right?" Mo Ting said.
Passers-by paid attention to the two people who "looked at each other affectionately", but Wei Zhao and Mo Tingyin didn't notice it.
The two of them arrived at the Wu Mansion with a light car, but found that the Wu Mansion was heavily guarded this time, not only there were guards at the gate, but there were also guards patrolling everywhere in the house.
Wei Zhao took Mo Tingyin directly to the roof of the main house of the Wu Mansion, and they leaned on the roof and looked down, and their vision was very broad.
"Why is the Wu Mansion so heavily guarded? Is it because it is afraid that people will retaliate?" Mo Tingyin said puzzled.
"Wu Xiaokui is dead, and their children are all alive, so no one should come to take revenge. Wei Zhao thought for a while and said, "Even if the dog's father and mother want to retaliate, they don't have any means." ”
"And what are they guarding against?" Mo Tingyin wondered.
"Let's see for a moment. Wei Zhao said in a low voice. He couldn't figure it out.
The family members of the Wu Mansion are in groups of four, a total of four groups, patrolling the mansion non-stop.
They weren't trained soldiers, they were just ordinary family members, so they kept talking when they were on patrol.
Most of these people talk about boring things like drinking, drinking, gambling and money, but when they talk about it, they complain that Wu Cheng thinks that Wu Cheng is troublesome, and he has to strengthen the defense of the mansion.
After getting the information he wanted to know, Mo Tingyin felt that there was an answer coming out of his mind, but he couldn't figure it out at the last joint.
"Wu Xiaokui is dead, why is Wu Cheng in charge of the Wu family?" Mo Tingyin was puzzled, "Also, that demon is dead, why do you have to strengthen your guards, what is he guarding against?"
"I also think there is something wrong with Wu Cheng. Wei Zhao agreed, "Wu Cheng has been with Wu Xiaokui since he was a child, it can be seen that Wu Xiaokui trusts him very much, how can he know nothing about how Wu Xiaokui cultivates evil arts?"
"You thought of these at that time, why did you let Wu Cheng go so easily!" Mo Tingyin was speechless.
Wei Zhao said depressedly: "I'm just a fast catcher, and what I can do is limited." ”
"You're already a headcatcher!" said Mo Ting. That's saying that the head catcher is already a big official!
Wei Zhao: "......" I haven't seen the world, but it's really silly and cute.
The two found Wu Cheng in the hall, he had been dealing with the affairs of the Wu Mansion, and he ate dinner in the hall.
The people in the town thought that Wu Xiaokui was dead, and the Wu family would fall into chaos, but they didn't expect that it would have no effect, and the Wu Mansion was still in order. Although this Wu Cheng is young, his ability is no worse than his grandfather.
Mo Tingyin and Wei Zhao lay on the roof until late at night.
After sleeping one sleep after another, when Mo Tingyin woke up again, the moon had already set in the west, and her body was draped in Wei Zhao's clothes.
Mo Tingyin handed the clothes to Wei Zhao and said embarrassedly, "I accidentally fell asleep." ”
"You've fallen asleep several times. Wei Zhao looked at Mo Tingyin, whose cheeks were red from sleep, and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"It's not hard, it's not hard!" Mo Tingyin said teasingly while arranging her hair, "Serve the people!"
Wei Zhao, who heard these words for the first time, was shocked.
In just five words, he said the purpose of what he has always done! How did Mo Tingyin come up with such concise but profound words?
Wei Zhao admired Mo Tingyin very much in his heart, but he didn't say anything. I don't know why, since that night, Wei Zhao has been a little awkward in front of Mo Tingyin from time to time, and he himself doesn't know what is wrong with him.
"He's leaving!" Mo Tingyin said excitedly.
Wei Zhao nodded and said, "Follow him." ”
Wu Cheng, who was sorting out the account books, paused, and continued to clean up as usual.
Wu Cheng just went back to his room to sleep and didn't go anywhere.
Mo Tingyin and Wei Zhao were both a little disappointed and a little skeptical, could it be that they guessed wrong?
Wu Cheng is so young, even if he wants to live forever, he doesn't need to start cultivating evil arts now, right?
After lying on the roof for a long time, Wu Cheng turned off the lights and rested, and there was no movement.
"What shall we do?" Mo Tingyin was cold and hungry.
"Let's go out first. Wei Zhao hugged Mo Tingyin and left after a few ups and downs.
Walking on the street dejectedly, Mo Tingyin rubbed his belly and said in a low voice: "Master Wei, am I making a fuss?"
Resisting the urge to rub Mo Tingyin's head, Wei Zhao said, "No, you did the right thing." ”
He didn't want to explain more, so he only said to Mo Tingyin gently: "Don't call me Lord Wei in the future, what kind of adult am I? I'm just a catcher who serves the people." It seems that I am a few years older than you, so you can call me Brother Wei in the future. ”
Wei Zhao likes the words "serving the people" very much, and now he has learned and used them lively.
didn't even ask about his age, so he asked her to call him big brother, Mo Tingyin said that she had no psychological barrier at all.
In ancient times, people all got married early, who knows how old Wei Zhao was to get married?
"Brother Wei, where are we going now?" As soon as he looked up and found that there was still a wonton stall that had not been collected, Mo Tingyin said happily, "Let's go eat a bowl first, shall we?"
The wonton stall owner was a very old man, and he was about to close the stall, but when he saw Wei Zhao and Mo Tingyin, he was very enthusiastic about cooking two large bowls of wontons.
Steaming pork wontons and pouring a spoonful of chili oil on top, Mo Tingyin was very happy.
