Chapter 4 Peeling Back the Cocoon (Supplement)

As the saying goes, the industry of matchmakers will also produce elites.

Although Guanghan City has a population of hundreds of thousands, the vast majority of people are small families after all, and most of them usually hire low-cost matchmakers when their children get married. Only when the children of those officials and wealthy families in the city get married, they will pay a lot of money to hire a clever matchmaker.

These matchmakers who need to be hired with a lot of money are still the basic conditions, and more importantly, they are clever, and they can always make both families put aside their worries and small differences, and send a couple of newcomers into the cave house happily.

This is not easy, and they need to convince people who think they are a little higher to be willing to lower their prices. It can also make the newcomers of small households fill the faΓ§ade and make the in-laws look satisfied.

The most difficult thing is to let a couple of newcomers quickly reach the harmonious realm of mutual tolerance from their ignorant lives in a very short period of contact.

The matchmaker in Guanghan City who has this method, after Baiya's two-day visit, only got a total of seven names, all of which are recognized by the neighbors as old matchmakers, and the rest are basically a little half-done.

These seven old matchmakers live in various districts of the city, and Bai Ya believes that after looking for them, all the beauties in the city have been included in his coffin, and no one will be missed.

These matchmakers are relatively old, and the names of young girls in Guanghan City in recent decades, even if they don't organize their own weddings, they will remember it, this is the matchmaker's housekeeping skills.

Therefore, Baiya only needs to buy them and consult them again. Not only do you not need to find other matchmakers, but the general physical characteristics of those yellow flower girls and beautiful young women don't need to be investigated one by one.

"Mrs. Luo is here?" Bai Ya took the bronze corpse Bai Tong and stood in front of a single-family house at the end of Fang Street.

Today is the sixth day that Bai Ya has been teleported to Guanghan City, and he has already found six matchmakers, and the one in front of him is the Luo matchmaker who is the largest in the last grade.

In fact, after the six big matchmakers found it, the beauty information they gave basically began to be repeated, and it didn't matter if they found this one or not.

However, this Luo matchmaker is the oldest among the seven matchmakers, and she is also the most famous. It's just that in the past few years, her energy has been a little lacking, and she slowly began to retire, and she no longer often acts as a matchmaker.

Bai Ya considered that she was the last person, and in the spirit of excellence, she came to visit.

When she was young, she worked as a matchmaker for countless people, but unfortunately her wife and children died too early, and there were no grandchildren under her knees, so the evening scene was a little bleak.

Bai Ya called a few times at the door, but the courtyard was still quiet, and no one came out to open the door.

"Could it be that they went out?" Bai Ya frowned and raised his eyes to look at the courtyard wall.

He hesitated for a while, but still didn't climb over the wall to get in, if someone saw it in broad daylight, it would be too big. What's more, there are only two single women in this family, one old and one young, maybe they will raise a dog to guard the door, and if they make the earth dog bark, it will not be a thing.

Thinking of the dog, Bai Ya was suddenly stunned, he shouted so much in front of the door just now, if there is a dog, he should be able to bark, right?

vaguely felt that something was wrong with Luo Wen's mother-in-law's family, and Bai Ya suddenly stopped hesitating. He checked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one in the shop, he pulled Bai Tong to jump up and quickly climbed over the wall into the courtyard.

Mrs. Luo's house was quiet, and Bai Ya inspected the wing room in the backyard, the house was quite clean, but it always gave him a feeling that the building was empty, as if Mrs. Luo and the maid she adopted did not live here.

Bai Ya circled around and found that there was indeed no one in the house, so he carefully observed it again.

The bedding is neatly folded, and there is no dust on the furniture, indicating that someone has cleaned the house. Even if Mrs. Luo left, it was just what happened in the past two days.

There is still oil, salt, sauce and vinegar left in the kitchen, the ashes have not yet been cleaned up, and there are still a few white flour steamed buns in the iron pot on the stove.

"They should still be there this morning, and the steamed buns show no signs of rotting. ”

Now that the mangzhong solar term has passed, the steamed buns will definitely be spoiled if they are left for a day or two, and he took a bite and found that he could still eat them. This shows that Mrs. Luo and the maid have not been away for long.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, if there is a happy event in the past two days, it is also possible for Mrs. Luo to take the maid to stay at the master's house for a while. Bai Ya couldn't find anything wrong, so he shrugged his shoulders and planned to leave.

"Xiaotong, let's go, there's no one here!" Bai Ya beckoned to the bronze corpse behind him.

However, the bronze corpse did not listen to the command, and the sound of inhaling sharply through the nostrils came from behind the hat veil, as if smelling something and walking towards the front yard.

"Oh, what did you find?" Bai Ya was not in a hurry, and followed Bai Tong in surprise and came to the front yard.

The bronze corpse stopped in front of the well in the middle of the front yard, sniffing hard like a puppy on the edge of the well.

"Is there anything in the water?" Bai Ya's eyes flashed, and he poked his head into the well.

It's just that his nose is not as good as Bai Tong, and it is dark inside, and he didn't find anything unusual after looking at it for a long time.

"Do I have to go down?" Bai Ya grimaced, a little reluctant in his heart.

Luckily, he searched the courtyard for a while and found a long clothes pole that he could use to explore the well.

"Damn, there's really something, it looks like I have to go down and take a look!" Bai Ya poked in the water with a clothes pole for a while, and then felt that there was indeed a large object in the well.

Half an hour later, White Cliff's conjecture was confirmed.

He sat on the edge of the well, drenched, staring at the three corpses on the ground with a grim face.

The three corpses were two female corpses and one dog corpse. He didn't even need to recognize it to know that this must be the maid adopted by Luo and her matchmaker, as well as the housekeeper dog.

The two female corpses, one old and one young, both stuck out their tongues, and their eyes bulged out, and they should have been killed by someone twisting their cervical vertebrae. And the dog corpse was kicked to death.

"The mission information shows that although Hua Zi is a thief, he is timid and afraid by nature and rarely kills. In the case files accumulated over the past ten years, there have not been a few homicides, and only a few dangerous moments when he is hunted down will he kill people in order to protect himself. ”

Bai Ya looked at the corpse and subconsciously touched his nose, "However, even if the person who killed Luo Matchmaker is not a fan boy, he should have something to do with him." ”

Bai Ya figured out that he could learn about Huazi's target from the matchmaker, so the person who started should also want to use the matchmaker to find the fan.

Of course, there is also a relatively small chance of this, that is, Hua Zi needs to lurk for a long time this time, so long that he must kill all the possibility of being discovered, so he will kill Luo Matchmaker to prevent leaking the target.

Since this is the case, and the murderer did not attack the other six matchmakers, it means that only Luo matchmakers know Huazi's target. ”

Bai Ya's face changed slightly, and he felt that he was almost clueless, "It seems that there is only a layer of paper, no, this time there is a death, even if there is no merit, I should find someone to help sort out the clues." Otherwise, it will be my responsibility to die a few more people. ”

After searching on Mrs. Luo's body, he found that there were indeed no other clues, so Bai Ya left the courtyard with a heavy heart and disappeared at the end of the street.

......

"Chen Zhutou, do you have a clue about this case?"

When Bai Ya left Luo Wen's mother-in-law's house, he deliberately left the door open, coupled with the smell of corpses, and soon after that, people from the yamen were ushered here.

"The cause of death of the two people and the dog is very clear, it's just ...... The murderer's motive for killing is somewhat puzzling!"

Chen's head catcher is called Chen Cong, who is a relatively famous catcher in Guanghan City, and he also has the ability to do it single-handedly. When he saw the corpse of Mrs. Luo earlier, he was amazed.

Mrs. Luo has lived in Guanghan City for decades, and she is a well-known old matchmaker, many locals know her, but they have never heard of her enemies. And the maid she adopted is also an orphan girl, and there are no relatives in the family for a long time, let alone any opponents.

Although it is not yet certain, in terms of experience, the murderer may not have killed Luo Matchmaker for revenge, but related to Luo Matchmaker's profession. Chen Cong whispered to the colleagues around him.

"You go to the surrounding neighborhood and ask to see if anyone has asked Mrs. Luo to be a matchmaker recently. ”

"Catching heads, the neighbors all said that Mrs. Luo has been in poor health for the past two years, and she has not been a matchmaker for others for a long time. The officials of Fucheng quickly split up and slowly gathered the news.

"Oh~ if that's the case...... Why did the murderer want to kill Mrs. Luo?" Chen Cong raised his eyebrows slightly, and had a faint conjecture, "Unless it doesn't want others to know what it is looking for Mrs. Luo for." ”

"But the matchmaker's mouth has always been unblocked, even if the matchmaker is almost retiring, it is difficult to guarantee the leakage of the news, so kill her?" Chen Cong couldn't help but shake his head.

"In this way, the murderer must still be in Guanghan City. Since it is looking for a retired matchmaker, it may not be to be a matchmaker, but it may also be just to inquire about people. Chen Cong thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

And it didn't want others to know who it was looking for, so it killed Luo Matchmaker. The most important thing is that the person it is looking for is very likely to have only been seen by Luo Matchmaker, so that the Yamen's arrest will not be able to find clues from the mouths of other matchmakers. ”

"Xiao Liang, come here!" Chen Cong showed a smile on his face, "Go, gather the brothers and ask the gang of ruffians in the city to see what strange faces have come to Guanghan City in the past week." ”

......

"Did that catcher really say that?" Bai Ya looked at the little beggar in front of him who heard the news, and slowly suddenly suddenly, "Strange faces, outsiders...... I see!"

Bai Ya has always had a misunderstanding, if he wants to understand Hua Zi's target, he must find a few more matchmakers to compare.

But what if the fan boy is also like him, he is looking for a matchmaker to understand who to start with?

Hua Zi doesn't need to find a lot of matchmakers like him, he only needs to find a matchmaker who is the oldest and has handled the most happy events. The real situation of that woman, the fan boy can see it with his own eyes!

In other words, the person who killed Luo Matchmaker was either Hua Zi himself, so that no one would know that he had been to Guanghan. If you want the murderer to follow the fanboy, it may be that he is looking for trouble, or it is also possible to help him clear the hidden danger!

Compared with the previous speculation, Bai Ya believes that it is the latter possibility. Now in this city of Guanghan, there is not only a thief, but also a madman who kills people at will!
