Chapter 14: It Was Him
Wei Zhao didn't have much appetite, but seeing Mo Tingyin eating happily, his appetite was also aroused.
Mo Tingyin was eating wontons in a big gulp, and at the same time, he couldn't forget to chat with the old man: "Uncle, why are you still setting up a stall so late?"
The old man who bought the wontons said while slowly cleaning up: "I'm too old to sleep." ”
The two chatted and chatted, and then talked about the Wu family.
The old man sighed and said bitterly: "That Wu Xiaokui has always been a great good man in the town, but I didn't expect that he would be a demon who specializes in drinking children's blood! His grandson has not been sentenced, and he can't say it, he aided in the abuse, and I don't know how many children he has harmed! Besides, Wu Xiaokui is dead, how can he be in charge of the family? In the past, he has been in the field, and he doesn't know much about the Wu family!"
"Always out of town?" Mo Tingyin was surprised when he heard the old man's words.
"Yes, I've only been back for the last ten years. The old man said mysteriously.
The more I thought about it, the more strange it became, and Mo Tingyin said to Wei Zhao: "Brother Wei, let's go back to the Wu family again, shall we? ”
The two went back to Wu's house again, only this time, they didn't follow Wu Cheng, but went to the room where Wu Xiaokui lived again.
The courtyard where Wu Xiaokui lives has been locked, and in just a few days, it has been deserted.
This is convenient for Mo Tingyin and Wei Zhao.
The two of them easily climbed over the wall and entered, and Mo Tingyin sighed at the big copper lock on the door: "This lock is too big, how can we get in?"
Wei Zhao didn't know where to take out a needle, poked it in the keyhole a few times, and the lock was opened.
Mo Tingyin looked at Wei Zhao dumbfounded, she couldn't believe her eyes, this guy in front of her, is he a thief or a fast catcher?
Seeing Mo Tingyin's surprised face, Wei Zhao said very proudly: "Very surprised, right? These skills were all learned from the thieves who were caught by me, and they refused to teach me at first!"
Mo Tingyin didn't know how to praise Wei Zhao for a while.
As soon as the door was opened, a dark wind blew out from inside.
Mo Tingyin couldn't help but shudder.
She comforted herself that it must be a psychological effect, so she felt that something was wrong with this place.
Wei Zhao didn't make a fire, but looked at the moon in Wu Xiaokui's house.
The house had been cleaned, and it didn't look like it had been after the search that day. But it looks even more deserted and silent.
Mo Tingyin leaned towards Wei Zhao and said in a low voice, "This place looks weird!"
"You were scared that day. Wei Zhao comforted Mo Tingyin softly. He decided that after going back this time, he would treat Mo Tingyin to a good meal. A delicate girl's family, accompanying him every day to solve the case, is too hard.
Wei Zhao didn't find that he had unconsciously let go of his prejudice against Mo Tingyin, but was full of pity and distress for Mo Tingyin.
The iron cabinet was locked again, and Wei Zhao repeated his old trick and easily opened the lock, but the cabinet could not be opened.
The two of them worked together for a long time, but they didn't open it.
"This cabinet was easily opened that day?" Mo Tingyin said puzzled, "Why is it that Wu Xiaokui is subdued, and this cabinet can't be opened?"
"Let's find out where the mechanism is. Wei Zhao said.
Learning Wu Cheng's technique that day, Wei Zhao wanted to open the mechanism of the secret door, but he still couldn't open it.
Mo Tingyin and Wei Zhao both realized that it was not that the two of them were nervous at all, but that something really happened.
Although Wu Xiaokui is dead, the matter is not over.
"What should I do?" Mo Tingyin asked Wei Zhao anxiously.
There must be children in here now, they can't stay helpless like this, they have to do something.
"This cabinet is too difficult to open, let's go back to the yamen first and find someone to open the lock. Bring some more people to gather the people in the Wu Mansion together and interrogate them one by one. Wei Zhao said with a serious expression, "I didn't expect that there are really such people in the world who disregard the law and discipline." ”
The two of them didn't say much more, and turned to leave.
It's not that Wei Zhao is timid, but the current situation is different from that day.
There were only two people that day, Wu Xiaokui and Wu Cheng, even if it was a pair of two, he had a good chance of winning.
It's just that now that he is in Wu Mansion, he doesn't know how many enemies there are, and if he acts rashly, it will only put them in danger.
When the time comes, not only will they not be able to save people, but they will also put their lives into it, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Mo Tingyin didn't think about it that much, she just felt that it was very cold and uncomfortable.
The two of them were about to leave, when Wu Cheng's voice suddenly sounded: "The two of you are still here to handle the case so late?"
Mo Tingyin was taken aback, and she reflexively grabbed Wei Zhao's hand.
Wei Zhao held Mo Tingyin's hand with his backhand, and pulled out the sword at his waist with the other hand: "Don't pretend, tell the truth!"
"I've already said what I should say in the yamen, what do you want me to say? Could it be that the two of you are doubting my innocence? The villain is really wronged to death!" Wu Cheng's words were extremely aggrieved, but his expression was very relaxed, and there was a bit of playfulness.
Looking at Wu Cheng like this, Mo Tingyin quickly thought of four words: "old treacherous and cunning", his current appearance is more worthy of these words than Wu Xiaokui.
"You're the real demon, aren't you?" Mo Tingyin suddenly blessed his heart and asked.
Originally, I wanted to play tricks on the two of them, but I didn't expect to be recognized at a glance, Wu Cheng admired the little girl in front of him very much: "I didn't expect you to live as a teenager, you are so smart and transparent, why don't you follow me in the future." I will guarantee you immortality, wealth and worry-free. It's just that don't call me a demon anymore, I don't like these two words very much. ”
"Do you want me to be like Wu Xiaokui?" Mo Tingyin said disdainfully, "I don't want to be a puppet to be manipulated by others, and become an outcast when you are exposed." As she spoke, she gently squeezed Wei Zhao's palm, wanting him to understand her intentions.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so it is better to try to leave before making plans.
Wei Zhao lightly touched Mo Tingyin's fingertips, counting it as a response. Mo Tingyin said in her heart, it seems that Wei Zhao understands her intentions, and she feels a little at ease.
Now that Wu Cheng has admitted it, Mo Tingyin has guessed the rest of the matter.
Wu Cheng doesn't know how many years he has lived, every time he hides himself, cultivates a servant-like person to follow him as a shield for himself, if someone finds out his secret, he will let this person be a stand-in, and then he will come out of his shell.
Listening to Mo Tingyin's guess, Wu Cheng applauded: "You actually guessed correctly, little girl, guess what, Wu Xiaokui is my descendant?"
Mo Tingyin looked him up and down for a long time, and said, "Why do you have to be more than ten generations, right? If you can cultivate like this, it will not be a problem to live for 1,800 years." ”
Wu Cheng laughed: "What a smart girl, what should I do if I like you more and more? Why didn't I find out that day!"
