Chapter 5 Wupen Returns Home, Royal Cat Analyzes Clues (1)
At night, Zhanzhao stood in front of the bronze mirror, opened the so-called heavenly eye, looked at the mirror, and was a little stunned, because the so-called heavenly eye did not have an eye in the center of the eyebrows, but an extra silver mark.
Zhanzhao thought about the so-called Tianyan all night, and didn't sleep all night, however, he didn't get any clues, and he didn't get any clues at all, and he didn't get how to use this Tianyan at all, as if there was no other use than looking at things!
On the second day, Zhanzhao was in a depressed mood, said goodbye to Lord Bao and Gongsun Ce, and took Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to run out of Kaifeng Mansion non-stop!
The outer city of the eastern capital, the south wall of the new city, the southeast gate is called Chenzhou Gate, and the door is ten miles away from Nanhua Mountain. The south gate is called Nanxun Gate, ten miles away from the door, it is the grass town, because the house is mainly surnamed Liu, also known as Liujia Town. This Liujiacao Town, although it is only a town store, but because it is close to the suburbs of Bianliang, Tokyo, it is located at the throat of the main road, the market is very developed, the east and west streets, the north and south trade, very prosperous and lively. There are about 500 households in the town, most of whom are mainly engaged in business.
There were three people walking in the town, and among the three, the first one was a young man in a blue shirt. I saw this young man, but he was dressed in a plain blue robe, a plain white belt, a plain sheath ancient sword in his hand, his face was handsome, his eyes were heavy, and his eyebrows were like a sword.
There were two people behind the young man, one of them, dressed in gray cloth, tall and burly, his eyes flashed, he was only about thirty years old, he looked old, and followed closely behind the young man in blue, and the other was a little weird, dressed in short black clothes, with a wide waist and thick back, bronze complexion, slender eyes, and his face was no more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but he was hunched over, and his steps were staggering. But on closer inspection, the man was not born hunchbacked, but hunched with a black package, like a turtle shell buckled on his back.
The three of them walked all the way, stopped outside the door of a three-room courtyard, and stopped to watch.
"Liu Shichang, are you sure this is your hometown?" Zhan Zhao asked lightly.
The black pot behind Zhang Long buzzed, "It's indeed here, it can't be wrong, this is my home!"
Zhan Zhao took a step forward, knocked lightly on the door knocker, and shouted loudly: "Is anyone at home?" and heard a clear female voice from the courtyard reply: "Who?" "May I ask if this is Liu Shichang and Brother Liu's mansion?" When he saw the three people outside the door, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but then returned to normal, and asked softly, "Do the three of you know my father-in-law?"
The black basin behind Zhang Long suddenly shook, violently shaking, Zhan Zhao sighed, turned his figure to Zhang Long's back, knocked on the black basin a few times, and said, "Don't be impatient!"
The Liu family looked at Zhanzhao's movements in amazement, there seemed to be a trace of panic in his eyes, and it seemed that he wanted to retreat and close the door, Zhanzhao bowed his hand and said: "We do know Brother Liu, and this time I came here to deliver goods to Brother Liu to the house." When Liu heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Delivery, I don't know when you saw my father-in-law?" Zhan Zhao paused slightly, and replied: "It was half a year ago." "Half a year ago...... Liu lowered his head slightly, groaned in his mouth, and was silent for a long time before asking: "I don't know what kind of goods my family entrusted to escort?"
Zhan Zhao took down the black pot behind Zhang Long and said, "It's the black pot in this baggage!"
"Wupen!?" Liu was a little stunned, and said hesitantly, "How could my father-in-law ask someone to send Wupen?"
Zhan Zhao smiled, arched his hand, and said, "This matter is not clear, may I ask where Brother Liu is?"
When Liu heard this, his expression was a little gloomy, and he replied in a low voice: "A few people don't know, the prime minister went to the field half a year ago to buy jewelry, but who knew that he disappeared this time, and he hasn't been home for half a year." Hearing this, Zhan Zhao raised his eyes slightly, and asked again: "Is there a correspondence?" Liu shook his head and said: "At the beginning of the first month, I received a letter, in which Xiang Gong said that the Lantern Festival would definitely go home for reunion, but on the Lantern Festival, Bai'er and I waited all night, but there was no trace of Xiang Gong, and since then, there has been no news...... I don't know where Xianggong is now, whether he is alive or dead, ...... "Sister-in-law, please take this black basin, we will wait here, if the lady has something to inquire about in a while, then, please come out to find us again!" Zhan Zhao handed the black basin to Liu, and arched his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, please!"
Liu nodded, took the burden and turned around and entered the courtyard!
"Lord Zhan, why do you lie that you met Liu Shichang half a year ago?" After Liu entered the house, Zhang Long asked directly.
Zhan Zhao smiled and shook his head, "It's just to check whether this is Liu Shichang's residence, is it possible for us to say directly, sister-in-law, your husband was killed and his body was burned to a black pot?"
"That's what Master Zhan said!" Zhang Long and Zhao Hu both scratched their heads honestly.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, the Liu family came out again, only to see that the Liu family's hair bun was a little scattered, the makeup was a little scattered, and the eyes were red, obviously they had already cried, and the Liu family invited the three of Zhanzhao into the door, and directly pounced and knelt on the ground, "The three officials, you must make decisions for the prime minister, catch the pair of harmful brothers, and avenge the people's wife!"
Zhan Zhao stepped forward in two steps, helped Liu and said: "This sister-in-law, there is no need to thank you, this time we will not only escort Brother Liu home, but also hope that the sister-in-law can assist in the investigation of the case." When Liu heard this, he didn't feel at ease, but instead wiped his tears and cried again: "But according to what Xianggong said, there are no clues in this case, and the suspect is nowhere to be found, how to solve the case?
Zhan Zhao hurriedly supported Liu, turned his head to look at the black basin placed on the table in the room, and said, "Didn't Brother Liu tell you?
"Don't say that there are no clues, Zhan wants to know, before Brother Liu went out to do business, did he say what jewelry he wanted to buy?
