Chapter 60: The Flower Thief (Part II)

In the early hours of the morning, Tan Yang heard the noise of people outside the inn, and hurriedly got up and pushed open the window to check. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I saw that the streets were brightly lit, and the county government was searching for something. Tan Yang closed the window and was about to go out, telling Xue Yue to be careful tonight. The door was kicked open, and the panels were scattered on the floor. Xue Yue said innocently: "I didn't mean to, I just kicked it lightly and it broke it." Tan Yang said indifferently: "If it's broken, it's broken, it's just ventilated." ”

The shopkeeper heard the movement upstairs and hurriedly came up to check, just when he heard Tan Yang say that if it is broken, it will be broken, and it is just ventilated. The corners of your mouth twitched, this house is not yours, but you will be a good person. Tan Yang saw the shopkeeper's black face, looked at the broken door panel, took out a gold leaf, and said, "The shopkeeper is really embarrassed, he broke the door by mistake, do you think these are enough?"

The shopkeeper took the gold leaf and said happily: "Enough, enough." Tan Yang took the opportunity to ask: "Shopkeeper, is there a flower thief outside?" The shopkeeper replied: "Objectively speaking, it is right, but this group of officials is too incompetent, and they have not been caught for half a decade, and they have made chickens and dogs restless every night." Tan Yang said: "Where did this flower thief come from, so that the county officials have not caught it for so long?"

The shopkeeper replied: "I don't know where it came from, but I know that in the past sixty or seventy years, this flower thief has visited our county once every ten years, and has harmed no less than twenty women in the past sixty years. Tan Yang said: "No one has caught him in the past sixty years?" The shopkeeper said: "If you want to say that you have not caught him, but Nie Zhutou ten years ago seems to have seen the true face of the thief." Tan Yang said: "Then why don't you arrest it?"

The shopkeeper said: "Nie Zhutou was highly poisonous at the time, and he only took the hand of the county commander and said a female word and returned to heaven." Tan Yang said: "I still don't know something, and I ask the shopkeeper for advice." The shopkeeper said, "Don't dare to give advice, just say something." Tan Yang said: "When I came, the inns in the county didn't seem to be willing to receive the two of us, why didn't you stop it." The shopkeeper said angrily: "Those cowards will only take care of themselves." ”

Tan Yang said: "Could it be that there is a secret in this?" The shopkeeper said: "What's the secret, isn't it that when Nie Zhutou died, the lewd thief left a saying that whoever dared to leave a foreigner to stay would kill him, these cowards." Tan Yang was puzzled: "Aren't the shopkeepers afraid?" The shopkeeper said: "I'm afraid, I can't wait to eat his meat." Tan Yang looked at the shopkeeper's expression and guessed something, but he didn't plan to ask, after all, it was someone else's privacy.

The shopkeeper seemed to remember the sad thing, shook his head and walked down the stairs to his room. Tan Yang watched Xue Yue return to the room, glanced at the door panel on the ground and said, "It seems that I can only meditate tonight." The next morning, Tan Yang heard a loud scream, hurriedly got up and rushed out. Seeing that Xue Yue was trembling, she hurriedly went into the shopkeeper's room to take a look, and saw the shopkeeper lying on the ground with a hideous face, holding a tablet in his hand. Tan Yang sniffed and touched his neck, his neck was already cold, and it seemed that he had been dead for a long time.

Tan Yang hugged Xueyue and comforted: "Don't be afraid of me." After a while, the official came, and it turned out that the neighbor also heard the shout, and saw the shopkeeper dead in the house, and hurriedly ran to the county office to report the case. The head catcher at the head of the group glanced at Tan Yang and Xue Yue and said, "Escort these two people aside, I'll ask them later." The official took Tan Yang Xueyue aside. The headhunter ordered the body to be examined.

After a while, he said: "The deceased should have died around the time of last night, and was greatly stimulated before death, causing confusion and death. The head catcher nodded and said, "Bring those two over." The official escorted Tan Yang Xueyue to the head catcher. Catcher said: "My surname is Xu, you can call me Xu Catcher, who is your surname, where do you live, did you hear anything last night?"

Tan Yang said: "The next surname Tan Mingyang's family lives in Fengxian County, next to her sister Xueyue, I didn't hear any sound last night except for the arrest of the officials." Xu Zhutou looked at Xue Yue again. Xue Yue shook her head. Xu Zhutou said: "You two are now temporarily living here, and you are not allowed to leave the county seat of Anshan County until the case is solved." Tan Yang, Xue Yue nodded yes. After the official left, Xue Yue asked, "You really didn't hear anything?" Tan Yang said: "No, everything was normal last night, there were no mana fluctuations or anything." ”

Xue Yue said: "That's strange, this person can kill people under your noses." Tan Yang said: "This is also a point that I can't figure out." Xue Yue said: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, I haven't been to the world for a long time, you can go shopping with me." Tan Yang was dragged into the market like this. If you just look at the bazaar, you really can't see that it looks like a place where many murders have occurred. The bazaar was full of joy and bustle. Xue Yue looked at everything strangely, and she would pick up a mask to look at it, and then pick up a lantern to look at it.

Xue Yue walked to a sugar gourd stall and said, "I haven't eaten it for a long time, how much is the boss?" The boss said: "A string of five cents, I am a royal craft, I can't eat it elsewhere, the girl will have a string?" Xue Yue picked up a string and ate it, and said to Tan Yang with her little finger: "Find him to pay." Tan Yang smiled helplessly, took out five cents and handed it to the stall owner. Xue Yue shouted in front of a very lively stall: "Tan Yang, come and see, there is something good here." Tan Yang walked over and saw that it was a shadow puppet show. I haven't seen it in years.

Suddenly, Tan Yang looked at the shadow puppet show and froze, and after a while, he muttered to himself, "I think I know what's going on." Xue Yue turned around and said, "What do you know?" Tan Yang said, "It's nothing." Xue Yue was obviously only three points hot about something, and after watching it for a while, she felt bored, and dragged Tan Yang to run away. In the end, the two entered a rouge shop, and Xue Yue said: "Old woman, what kind of rouge do you have here?" The old woman said: "I have Pomegranate Jiao, Da Hong Chun, Xiao Hong Chun, Tender Wu Xiang, Banbian Jiao, Wan Jinhong, Shengtan Heart, Lu Zhu'er, Nei Jia Yuan, Tiangong Qiao, Luo Er Yin, Light Red Heart, Orangutan Halo, Xiao Zhulong, Ge Shuangtang, Mei Hua Nu." I wonder what kind of little girl she wants?"

Xue Yue said: "Old woman, which one do you think I am suitable for?" The old woman said: "This light red heart is quite suitable for you." The old woman said: "Seeing that you are so cute, you can give me a tael of silver." Tan Yang saw that he finally had his own business, so he took out a tael of silver and handed it to the old woman, who took the silver and said, "The little girl often comes, I have a lot of good goods here." Xue Yue said: "Got it." Tan Yang said after returning to the inn: "Xueyue, do you feel that the old woman looks at you a little wrong?"
