Chapter 8: The Left Hand of the Six Fingers
In the evening, everyone walked out of their rooms one after another and came to the wine hall. Liu Qingyun looked at Shen Yi, and then looked at Ou Jingtian's face, deliberately picked a wide table, stretched out his hand to beckon everyone to take a seat, and drank Lingliuhuai to serve the food and wine.
Shen Yi sat silently at the table, thoughtful.
Hua Susu saw that everyone seemed to be burdened with a heavy burden when they got up early that day, and they were all depressed, and they didn't dare to say much, so they went to sit down next to Shen Yi.
Ou Jingtian didn't look at it, walked straight to the other table, and sat down heavily. Gong Qianshan peeked at Shen Yi's side, and said with Liu Qingyun and said, "Liu Daxia, let's sit with Brother Ou next." With that, he took Li Xiaoli's hand and sat down at Ou Jingtian's table.
Liu Qingyun's outstretched hand couldn't be retracted for a while, and he naturally understood what Ou Jingtian's attitude meant, and he had the heart to ease and persuade him, but he felt that this matter was really unclear, so after thinking about it, he glanced at each side, and walked to Shen Yi and sat down.
Several members of the Moonlight Clan also sat down at a table.
This wine hall is not big, and when a few tables are sitting, there is really a feeling of crowding, but the people at each table are all serious and preoccupied, even if they want to speak, they all try their best to lower their voices, and the atmosphere is strange for a while, even the lamps and candles burning on the table are a little swaying, and they seem to be hesitant, neither can see through what has happened, nor can they guess what is about to happen.
Liu Qingyun coughed lightly, and when he saw that no one paid attention to it, he coughed twice heavily, but no one paid attention to it, so he had nothing to say, and said, "Have you found it?" Since the people of this Moonlight Clan moved in, the food in this store has been much better, especially Wu San, who has been walking around in front of and behind the high priest all day long, and he can't wait to protect it in the palm of his hand. ”
Shen Yi lowered his head and drank, as if he hadn't heard.
Hua Susu's eyes lit up, and he said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the third brother observed correctly, and I found out earlier." ”
Liu Qingyun was very proud, and pretended to say mysteriously: "According to my speculation, this Wu San is not only particularly respected because the Moonlight Clan is worshiped as a god by the locals, but it is likely that there is another reason, maybe he has some close relationship with the high priest and the patriarch." ”
As soon as he said this, even Shen Yi raised his head and looked at the table of the Yueguang clan and his party, and sure enough, he saw that Wu San, obviously the dishes were all ready, but he still didn't leave, either for the high priest Ah Yue to pick up the dishes, or for the patriarch to pour wine in the dark, looking at them There was no reverence in their eyes, but they were full of love and concern.
The dark night was already impatient, so he put aside Wu San's hand to pour the wine, and shouted: "Wu San, don't dangle in front of my eyes, annoying." "He did seem particularly restless tonight.
"Brother, don't treat Shopkeeper Wu like this, he is also kind. Ah Yue said: "I know you don't have the patience to stay here, but the will of heaven is unpredictable, who knows when this sandstorm will come?"
"I'm not delaying the sandstorm for the sake of this sandstorm......," said Night, and then shut up and drank the glass, as if he had a deep hatred for the wine.
Ah Yue pressed his hand to take the wine glass again, and said, "Brother, you have already drunk a lot, don't drink anymore." ”
Wu Sankou said: "High priest, it doesn't matter, this wine is my special cellar, it doesn't hurt your body, and the taste is good, you can also taste it." As he spoke, he diligently took the wine glass and flask, and wanted to pour wine for Ah Yue.
"What kind of wine do girls drink?!" Dark Night stopped him, took the flask and filled a glass for himself. After drinking the wine, his temper seemed to be even worse, and as for the taste of the wine, he didn't pay attention to tasting it.
Wu San shook his head, he didn't want to stay at the table any longer, he muttered and went to sit down at the counter, his left hand was protected on his chest, and his right hand crackled and began to plan to settle the account.
Liu Qingyun listened to all the conversations on the table of the Moonlight Clan, looked down at the wine in his hand, took a sip from the cup, clicked his mouth, and said: "Well, the taste of this wine is really different from the past, Lao Wu still has some conscience, and he is willing to give us some good wine to drink." He drank a dry glass, poured another full glass, and then poured a full cup for Shen Yi and Hua Susu, and said: "You guys also drink more, this wine is really good, these days I have drunk that coarse wine has faded out of my mouth, and I can finally drink some wine that looks like wine." ”
Hua Susu toasted with him and drank happily.
Shen Yi picked up the wine glass and drank it slowly, as if he also felt that this wine had some flavor.
Liu Qingyun won with a fist, forced Hua Susu to drink all the wine in the cup, turned his head to Shen Yi again, and said in a low voice: "I know what you are worried about? You are worried about Li Lilong's case and the list of those who secretly communicate with Xixia." ”
Hua Susu sneered and said, "Third brother, you are so smart. ”
Liu Qingyun bared his teeth at her and said, "Thank you, I have always been extremely smart." ”
Hua Susu squinted at him, pursed his lips disdainfully, and said, "What is extremely smart, I mean you are talking nonsense, now fools know what case Brother Shen is doing, do you still need to say it?"
Liu Qingyun glared and wanted to lose his temper, but in a blink of an eye, he also smiled, ignored Hua Susu, still lowered his voice, and said to Shen Yi: "I also know that at present, it seems that the only clue in this case is that the murderer has six fingers on his left hand. ”
"Not bad. Shen Yi raised his head and looked at him.
Liu Qingyun saw that it attracted Shen Yi's attention, and became more and more interested, and said: "This is easy to do, we can let the people in this town roll up their sleeves one by one and show their left hands, to see if it is six fingers, if it is six fingers, you can detain it and investigate it in detail, it is better than looking for a needle in a haystack and having no clue." ”
Without waiting for Shen Yi to speak, Hua Susu sneered and said, "Third brother, are you really stupid or fake stupid? Don't say anything else, just the thousands of residents in this Qiongta Town, how do you find out? And those big girls and little daughters-in-law, you force people to pull up their sleeves, it's strange that people don't treat you as a disciple and break your legs." ”
"Do you know again?! Didn't I also come up with ideas for Shen Yi to solve his worries. Liu Qingyun said unconvinced. He blink his eyes and saw Shen Yi thoughtfully, his bright eyes slowly looked at everyone in the wine hall, and suddenly came to his senses, and asked Shen Yidao: "Do you think the murderer will be hiding in this wine hall?"
Shen Yi smiled slightly and said, "I don't know. ”
Liu Qingyun waved his hand and snorted dissatisfiedly, but a pair of eyes followed Shen Yi's gaze to look at the people in the wine hall one by one.
On the other side of the counter, Wu San was planning to plate, holding his left hand in front of his chest, as if he was disabled, but his whole hand was hidden in his sleeve, and he couldn't see what it was. In the corner, Liuhuai hugged his arms around his chest, dozing off against the pillar, and he couldn't see his left hand, thinking about it, it seemed that he didn't notice how many fingers his left hand had on weekdays.
It is impossible for Ou Jingtian to have six fingers on his left hand, Liu Qingyun is very sure, but he is not familiar with Li Lilong's brother-in-law Gong Qianshan. Gong Qianshan was holding the cup in his right hand at the moment, and his left hand was wrapped in his sleeve under the table, and he didn't notice whether he had exposed his left hand before. Liu Qingyun even looked at Li Xiaoli's left hand. Li Xiaoli's two small hands are exposed, holding a bowl in one hand and eating with chopsticks in the other, clearly, his left hand is five fingers. When Liu Qingyun saw this, he almost couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pat his head hard, secretly scolding himself for being really confused, thinking that Li Xiaoli was a child, how could he kill his own father? After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes, but saw that Shen Yi seemed to be smiling, looking at himself with clear eyes, and then at Hua Susu, who had already covered his mouth with his hands and couldn't hold back his laughter.
Liu Qingyun's eyes rolled, and he understood what they were laughing at, and said, "What's ridiculous, I'm analyzing the case." ”
Hua Susu couldn't help laughing, finally stopped laughing, gasped and said, "Good third brother, everyone knows that you are analyzing the case, but that kid is definitely not the murderer, it seems that you can know without bothering to analyze, right?"
Liu Qingyun himself couldn't help laughing, and said: "You are nonsense, of course I know that Li Xiaoli will not be a murderer, I want to say that everyone here, except for Li Xiaoli, may be a murderer." He suddenly laughed evilly, pretended to be stern, and said to Hua Susu: "You, stretch out your left hand, I doubt you." ”
Hua Suliu glanced at him, spread his left hand on the table angrily, and said, "Okay, look at it." "The five fingers of her left hand are thin and white, and they are very beautiful.
Liu Qingyun saw that she was really a little annoyed, and hurriedly smiled: "Why should I take it seriously, sister, you know I'm joking." ”
Hua Susu still had a straight face and said: "It's a big matter to investigate the case, now it's your turn, stretch out your claws for everyone to see." ”
Liu Qingyun and Hua Susu were messing around on the side, but Shen Yi was carefully looking at the table of the Moonlight Clan and the others. Ah Yue's white robe has long sleeves, and her two hands are tightly covered in the sleeves, which have never been exposed, and even her two maids have long sleeves and do not show their hands. The cuffs were short and shallow, and the left and right hands had five fingers.
Shen Yi looked at the people in this wine hall again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it's easy to make a man show his hand, but how can he let a woman show his hand too? Hua Susu is right, if this is to use coercive means, I am afraid that the consequences will not be good. He was heavy-minded, took a sip of the wine glass, this time he paid attention to the taste of the wine, and said: "This wine is really good...... Before he finished speaking, his face changed greatly, he threw the wine glass on the table, the wine flowed on the table, and quickly stretched out his palm to stop Liu Qingyun, who had raised the glass to his lips, and said in a deep voice: "This wine is poisonous." He instantly turned his luck all over his body, knowing that he had been poisoned, he didn't have time to think about it, while protecting his heart with luck, he stood up, stretched out his palm against Liu Qingyun's back, and shouted: "Fast luck is poisonous." ”
