Chapter 1: Anzhou Little Detective
In the early summer morning, the sun climbs up the branches very early, and at the beginning of a new day, vegetable farmers, fish merchants, and butchers in Anju City open their doors early to shout, hoping for a prosperous business throughout the day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 In the fields, tenants also take advantage of the cool air in the morning to work in order to complete the work as soon as possible.
"Hexuan, I'm going to the yamen, you take good care of the house", Qin Zheng said a few words to his son Qin Hexuan in the house and went out.
"Got it, Dad", Qin Hexuan responded.
After a while, Qin Zheng had already turned into the street and walked away. Qin Hexuan quietly opened the door, looked around, and was sure that his father had gone away, so he immediately went back to the house to get a bench and a small papier-mâché flag, and ran to the street where he frequented.
As soon as the stool was waved and the flag was planted, Qin Hexuan began to shout: "Anzhou little detective will help you solve the case, solve problems for you, no case will be solved, no worries!"
"Xiao Hexuan, come out and shout again, I'm not afraid that your father will see you and spank you again", the vendor on the side laughed.
"Hehe, you have a false reputation as a little detective, I have already investigated, today my father's patrol area is in the west of the city, I am in the east of the city, he has no chance to bump into me", Qin Hexuan said.
"Hey, you have to get it, the little detective really lives up to his reputation, and there will be someone to follow Qin Hunt soon", the hawker laughed.
As always, Qin Hexuan shouted hard, but the door was still deserted, and after half a day, people in the past came to ridicule a few words at most, but none of them were officially commissioned. Qin Hexuan is accustomed to it, his enthusiasm is undiminished, and he continues to sell. At this time, Xiao Ni from the corner of the street ran over panting, "Brother Hexuan, I have a case I want to entrust to you."
"Oh, Xiaoni, don't worry, you speak slowly, I will definitely help you", Qin Hexuan heard the mentions, and hurriedly gave up the bench to Xiaoni.
"That's right, Brother Hexuan, our little flower has been missing for three days, I've been looking for it for the past three days, but I can't find it, I suspect that someone has murdered, you must help me find the murderer!"
"What? Looking for a cat? I'm a dignified Anzhou detective, you want me to help you find a cat? YOU THIS ... Qin Hexuan was speechless on the spot.
"Brother Hexuan, can you help me, I told my parents, they all said that it was just a cat, it must be lost, and if it is lost, I will raise another one, but Xiaohua has been with me for a year, I just need Xiaohua, and now only you can help me", Xiaoni said as tears burst out of her eyes.
"Okay, okay, who called us good friends, I took your little case, and it's free! Xiaoni, don't worry, wrap it up with me, I will definitely help you find Xiaohua, live to see the cat, dead to see the dead cat." Qin Hexuan patted his chest and promised.
"Tell me, when was the last time you saw Xiaohua, and where was it?" Qin Hexuan asked Xiaoni.
"Three days ago, I took Xiaohua to play on Taihe Street, and when I was about to go home, I couldn't find Xiaohua. Every time I was going to go home, I screamed, and the little flower would appear", said Xiao Ni began to burst into tears again.
"Okay, don't be sad yet, let's go to Taihe Street to have a look", Qin Hexuan said. So, Qin Hexuan put away the small bench and flag, and walked towards Taihe Street with Xiaoni.
Xiaoni took Qin Hexuan to the place where she and Xiaohua often played on Taihe Street, "This is it, recently, Xiaohua and I have come here to play every day, every time I play here with other children, Xiaohua runs to the side to play by herself, and I ignore it." But when I was about to go home, as soon as I called, Xiaohua would come running home with me. Xiao Ni said.
"This, there are too few clues, think about it again, is there anything unusual about Xiaohua?" Qin Hexuan asked.
"Abnormality?Xiaohua, what abnormality can a kitten have?", Xiaoni thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is really a little abnormality, that is, Xiaohua has not eaten every day when she comes home recently."
"This is a clue, skipping meals is due to two reasons, one is sick, and the other is full, can you tell which one is?" Qin Hexuan asked.
"Speaking of this, it seems that Xiaohua's belly is bulging every day when she goes home, so she should be full," Xiaoni thought.
Qin Hexuan looked around, pointed to a big mansion on the side of the street, and said, "Let's go, let's go over there and have a look."
Qin Hexuan and Xiao Ni walked to the back door of the house and found a garbage heap, and saw that it was full of kitchen garbage, and a few fish bones appeared from time to time. Qin Hexuan said with a smile: "Xiaohua must come here every day to steal food."
"Brother Hexuan, how did you guess?" asked Xiao Ni.
"What do you guess? This is called logical reasoning! Children don't understand it, don't talk nonsense. Qin Hexuan said, "Let's go, let's go and ask the owner of this house to see if there are any clues." ”
Qin Hexuan and Xiao Ni knocked on the door of the house, and a maid opened the door, "Hello Auntie, there is a little thing I want to inquire about, did you see a flower cat at the back door of your house a few days ago?"
"Flower cat? I think about it, it seems that I heard Mrs. Li in the kitchen say that there was a cat three days ago, you wait, I will call Mrs. Li out to ask", the maid said.
It didn't take long for Li Po to come to the door and said, "There is a flower cat, three days ago I saw it lying on the ground motionless at the back door, and then I picked it up and looked at it, there was no gas, the cat died at the door of the house, bad luck, but if I don't deal with it, it is even more unlucky, so I threw it into the garbage disposal area in the back street." ”
"What? Little flower, wow....." When Xiao Ni heard this, she cried bitterly.
"Okay, don't cry, let's go and see if we can find Xiaohua's body first," Qin Hexuan comforted Xiao Ni. As he spoke, he picked up Xiaoni and walked towards the garbage disposal area in the back street.
"Recently, why is our Li family so unlucky, the cat died at the door of the house a few days ago, and today I inexplicably encountered such two little ghosts crying at the door," Li Po said to the maid while closing the door.
"But no, you see that the old man came back from the door half a month ago and fell ill inexplicably, and now the condition is getting worse and worse, last time I glanced at the crack in the door, and vaguely saw that the old man's face was fleshless, and he looked like he was sucked dry by the spirit, I guess it will be almost gone, I really think that my Li Mansion is entangled by ghosts?" said the maid in a low voice.
"This can't be nonsense, Amitofu Amitofu", Li Po hurriedly said.
"Hey, it's just pity for our lady, the half month that the master was sick, he served by the master's side every day, and he frowned every day, and even Shi Langzhong, the most wonderful rejuvenator in our city, had nothing to do. The maid sighed.
"Hey, don't say more, you want to be the master really just left, what should you do if you leave Mrs. alone. Li Po explored.
"Forget it, don't talk about it, let's do what the next person should do, don't worry about the rest", the maid and Li Po said and walked into the inner room.
The garbage disposal area is the collection place of all the garbage in Anzhou City, the smell is stinking, Xiaoni can't stand the smell when she arrives at the door, and finally Qin Hexuan holds his breath and rushes into the garbage heap, and finally turns over to Xiaohua's body, only to see Xiaohua stay in the garbage heap for three days, her whole body is black, and she looks like a wilted skin, Xiaoni saw such a Xiaohua corpse, and she cried bitterly, and finally stopped under Qin Hexuan's comfort, but she still sobbed, and then the two of them found a place to bury Xiaohua, and Xiaoni also set up a tombstone. In this way, it was another peaceful day, Qin Hexuan carried the bench and the flag and hurried home before his father went home after dark.
In the evening, Qin Hexuan and Qin Zheng were having dinner, "Dad, hurry up and tell me, is there any interesting case in the yamen today?"
"Fun, you still expect us to have cases in Anzhou City every day, dead people every day?" Qin Zheng said angrily.
"What's the matter, it's not like all cases are dead, any thief and thief is also a big case," Qin Hexuan said with a smile.
"Nonsense, Hexuan, what we pray for is peace on the one side, how can there be chaos every day, it is best to let me have nothing to do every day. Qin Zheng said.
"It's really boring, Dad, what's the point of catching some petty thieves every day, and there are no earth-shattering cases to encounter, or Chu Bo's side is fun, and he often tells us some exciting unsolved cases. As he spoke, Qin Hexuan put on a very longing expression.
"Those are just storytellers' fabricated stories, just fool you ignorant little kids, don't keep running over there if you have nothing to do in the future, lest your mind be filled with some messy ideas all day long, do you think I don't know, what kind of Anzhou detective you are calling all day long, you are still a detective, what case have you solved?" Qin Zheng said disdainfully.
"Your son and I have a lot of cases, and today we will solve a case of searching for a cat for thousands of miles", Qin Hexuan said angrily.
"I'm still looking for a cat, I've heard from Xiao Ni's father, I just helped Xiao Ni find a cat," Qin Zheng said.
"That's also because of my careful logical reasoning, ordinary people must have no fun", Qin Hexuan said solemnly.
"Okay, good little detective in Anzhou, hurry up and finish eating, hurry up and go to bed, and then take over your father's class after two years of adulthood, your mother died early, so you can let **** snacks less." Qin Zheng said.
"I shouldn't catch fast, if I want to be a headcatcher", Qin Hexuan said seriously.
"When the head catcher? Do you know that the head catchers in the big and small counties across the country are all from Tianzhao Academy? Just let's not think about it, people recruit protégés once every five years, and the entrance examination is quite difficult, your father and I also tried it back then, and it was eliminated in the first round, and those who can go in are some capable people, and they all come out to be the head catchers, and they are all included in the official roster, which is one level lower than the county lord in the county town, that is to say, at least the eight-rank official. Qin Zheng lamented.
"Tianzhao Academy, why haven't I heard you talk about it before?" Qin Hexuan asked.
"Of course you haven't heard of it, people open their doors once every five years, and the last time they opened their doors was when you were eleven years old, and you were a little old at that time. Having said that, this year it's time for Tianzhao Academy to recruit protégés, I wonder how many lucky people will be able to carp jump the dragon gate this year?"
"This year, then I'm definitely going to try it, in the name of my Anzhou little detective, it's definitely no problem to get the admission qualification, hahaha", Qin Hexuan said with a smile.
"You just go and try it, and I'll sign you up as soon as the notice comes out, so that you, the little detective, know that there are people outside the world, don't think nonsense all day long", Qin Zheng said with a smile. In fact, at this time, Qin Zheng hoped that his son could really be elected to enter Tianzhao Academy and fulfill his dream back then. And Qin Hexuan's heart was already gearing up and eager to try.
