Chen Ao followed Wu Laohan to that familiar street. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On both sides of this east-west street, there are low brick houses. The streets are straight and run through the West Side, which is a microcosm of the entire West City slum.

There were already more than a dozen people in front of Wu Laohan's house, all of whom were neighbors on the left and right. Wu Laohan found that Wu Ping'er was missing, and in a hurry, he searched everywhere, which has alarmed many people.

An old woman saw that Wu Laohan had finally found Chen Ao, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Chen, Ping'er originally came to me every morning to get some needlework to do, but she didn't come this morning to ......"

Chen Ao nodded, and another person next to him said, "Lord Chen, Ping'er is such a good girl, nothing will happen, right?"

Another aunt scolded, "Phew, you crow's mouth." Master Chen has immortal arts, and he can know where Ping'er has gone at once!"

Chen Ao was slightly stunned, and in an instant, he understood that when he first entered the city, he lied to Lu Degui that he had a spell. I can't imagine that after so long, these people still believe it.

Chen Ao wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, so he had to bow his hand to everyone and follow Wu Laohan into the door.

Wu Laohan's family has two rammed earth thatched houses, where the grandfather and grandson live. There was a few feet between the two small houses. Wu Laohan led Chen Ao into Wu Ping'er's room.

Chen Ao came in for the first time, and when he pushed the door open, he saw that the room was a little dim, and the light was not very good. The earthen walls are also a little rough and gray, which makes the room permeate with an oppressive atmosphere.

Although the conditions are not good, the interior of the house is eye-catching. There are all kinds of floral decorations hanging on the wall, which are sewn with rag heads, and they are hung on the wall one by one, adding a bit of life. On the window paper, there are also a few red window flowers, all of which are hand-cut, which is very festive.

On a low table in one corner, there is also a freshly completed paper cut-out, which is a portrait of a person. A young man, wearing an official uniform and an official hat, with two long wings behind the official hat, is very smart.

The paper-cut characters are lifelike and vivid. Chen Ao's eyes were sour, knowing that this person must be himself. Although he had never worn that official uniform, Wu Ping'er actually used her own imagination to cut out the appearance of him wearing an official uniform.

Chen Ao finally calmed down, looked back again, and couldn't help frowning. There was a small bed in the room, but the bed was a little messy.

Wu Ping'er is a hardworking girl who always likes to keep everything in order. It is very unconscionable that she gets up in the morning and does not make her bed, unless, last night, she is gone!

Chen Ao's heart sank, and he saw that there were two pieces of clothes stacked on top of the bed, which were exactly what Wu Ping'er was wearing. There was a pair of cloth shoes next to the bed, which was also Wu Ping'er's.

Chen Ao was already a little uneasy. The situation in the room shows that Wu Ping'er is likely to disappear in the middle of the night. And she, a big girl, didn't wear a coat or shoes in the middle of the night, where would she go?

The answer seemed to be on the horizon, but Chen Ao didn't want to admit it.

At this time, a shout sounded outside the house: "Chen Ao, I brought someone to you!"

It's Liang Xiaoya, I didn't expect her to arrive so soon. Chen Ao hurriedly rushed out, and saw Liang Xiaoya riding on a horse, holding a rope in his hand. The other end of the rope was tied to Lu Degui's hands.

Lu Degui was dragged all the way by her and trotted here.

Liang Xiaoya jumped off the horse, pulled the rope, and shouted, "Hurry up!"

Lu Degui ran out of breath, and had to accompany the smiling face, and said, "Yes...... It's ......"

It turned out that as soon as Liang Xiaoya returned to Liang's mansion, she found Lu Degui in the cattle and horse farm, and couldn't help but say that she picked up a rope and tied him up.

Lu Degui knew that this eldest lady usually likes to mess around, and when she is bored, she will also take pleasure in beating and scolding her subordinates. It's just that she's never been in trouble with him yet. Lu Degui has old arms and legs, where can he withstand Liang Xiaoya's toss, so he hurriedly laughed and said goodbye.

Who knew that Lu Degui begged for mercy, Liang Xiaoya only thought that he was a thief. As soon as he thought that he had harmed Wu Ping'er, he suddenly became angry. Thinking of the corpse she saw in Hongxianglou again, Liang Xiaoya was shocked. Wouldn't it send chills down the back of such a madman in his own family?

Liang Xiaoya didn't want to think about it, she pulled Lu Degui and left, ignoring his pleas for mercy at all. rushed all the way to Wu Laohan's house, and when he saw Chen Ao, he shouted: "Chen Ao, I have arrested the murderer for you!"

Chen Ao glanced at Lu Degui and asked coldly, "Lu Degui, did you kidnap Miss Ping'er?"

Lu Degui was stunned, and said blankly: "Abducted, when will I ...... Wait, Wu Ping'er is gone? Hmph, let her not know each other...... The surname is Chen, you don't pour dirty water on me. Who doesn't know, that little lady runs to you every day? I'm going to kidnap her? Hmph, I see, it's clear that you are a thief shouting to catch a thief! You lonely men and widows are mixed together all day long. No one knows what dirty things are being done in the county government. Now that something has happened, you want to frame me!"

The more Lu Degui spoke, the more unpleasant it became. But Wu Ping'er runs to the county government every day, which is the truth. Although Chen Ao's original purpose was to let Wu Ping'er not be harassed. But this kind of thing, in the eyes of the neighbors, is a little inappropriate. After all, a lonely man and a widow are in the same room, which hinders the reputation of the daughter's family after all.

Chen Ao himself was nothing, but when he heard him insult Wu Ping'er, he was furious. Liang Xiaoya kicked Lu Degui in the back and said angrily: "You don't talk nonsense! You tell me, did you kill the two girls in Hongxianglou too?"

Lu Degui didn't dare to be angry with her, and he had to accompany the smiling face. But Liang Xiaoya's question really made him a little confused.

Lu Degui made a bitter face and said, "Miss, where do I have the money to go to Hongxiang Mansion!"

Chen Ao took a few breaths, calmed down, and cleared his mind. Judging from Lu Degui's performance, he does not seem to be the one who kidnapped Wu Ping'er. Nor does it look like someone who can kill people and disembowel. But the murderer is not Lu Degui, so who is it?

Chen Ao stared in contemplation, and unconsciously walked out of the small courtyard. Everyone followed him silently, just waiting for him to speak. Chen Ao suddenly looked up and saw a family next to Wu Laohan's house, and the door was open. In the courtyard, there were a lot of leaves, and no one cleaned them.

Chen Ao asked casually, "Whose house is this?"

Wu Laohan hurriedly said: "It's Laipigou's family! Since he left home that day, he hasn't come back for several days!"

Chen Ao nodded, and as soon as his mind moved, he raised his feet and walked to Laipigou's house. Standing in the courtyard and looking to the side, there is only a wall between it and Wu Laohan's house. And the wall is just a low earthen wall. Even if Chen Ao is clumsy, he can climb over as soon as he crawls.

Lai's family was originally relatively wealthy, and the family had three blue brick houses. It's just that Laipi is too lazy to eat, and he takes out all the valuable things at home to exchange for money and spends it. Therefore, in addition to the fact that the house here is better than Wu Laohan's house, the situation is even worse.

Chen Ao saw that the door of the hall was ajar, and there was no one inside, so he stretched out his hand and pushed it. Two doors creaked and slowly opened.

I heard Liang Xiaoya, who was standing beside her, screaming violently, covering her face and not daring to look at it again. Chen Ao's heart was like being grabbed by a hand, and the pain made him breathless.

On the ground of the hall, there was a person lying naked, not Wu Ping'er or who?
