The second monk Liu Zhutou was puzzled and said, "I'm still falling in the rain and fog." It is true that the person described by Old Man Li is exactly the same as the person you imagined, but why should he go and come back? This is not like the behavior of a criminal. ”

"Ring, ring, that's what he's back for. If we don't have any other way to catch him, we can use this ring as bait and let him take the bait. I'm going to catch him, Lord Prefectural - I'll make a bet with you that we'll catch him.

In the unsolved entanglements of life, the murder case is like a red thread running through the middle. It is our responsibility to expose it, to clean it out of our lives, to expose it thoroughly. Let's go to dinner first, and then set up. ”

Although everyone has been busy all day and their stomachs have been rumbling for a long time, it is obvious that everyone else has no appetite except for Xiaoyuer. After all, this is a homicide case. It's just some people, small fish who have just recovered from a serious illness.

"Boss, another bowl."

"Childe, eat slowly." Qiao'er persuaded on the side.

This is already the fifth bowl, and the county magistrate is unhappy when he sees it, although it doesn't cost much, but the future is dark, and it's not happy. Then he gave Liu Zhutou a look.

Liu Zhutou was nervous and asked: "Xiaoyu'er, I have eaten and eaten, can the case be solved?" ”

Xiao Yu'er said: "Don't worry, wrap it on me." ”

"And what are we doing here?" Liu Zhutou asked.

Xiao Yu'er said: "Wait for someone? ”

Suddenly, someone came in and shouted, "Xiao Er, come to the evening sun." Xiao Yu'er heard the sound and shouted loudly in her seat: "Xiaoling, here, I have already ordered it for you." ”

Ma Xiaoling is looking for prestige. I saw Xiao Yu'er and a group of people sitting by the window. Then he came over and said in surprise: "You....are you cured?" ”

Xiao Yu'er nodded and said, "Of course, it's just a minor illness." Xiao Yu'er pushed a bowl of Yangchun noodles in front of Ma Xiaoling and said, "It's hot, eat it while it's hot." Qiao'er took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder next to her and handed them to Ma Xiaoling.

Ma Xiaoling took it and nodded to Qiao'er, "Thank you." ”

Qiao'er smiled: "You're polite." Then Ma Xiaoling started eating. Suddenly, he was stunned, and then said, "You have to prepare two more bowls." ”

Xiao Yu'er heard the sound and nodded, haha, yes, I saw two more people coming in at the door. Look around for a moment. The county magistrate saw it, weren't these two people from Jinling Mansion this morning? How can you be so wolfy?

Ma Xiaoling said: "These two people have followed me all the way. So let them run more errands. I'm done. ”

"I'm exhausted." Zhao Qingxia entered the inn and finally found Ma Xiaoling. I also saw the little fish and walked over with a hard head.

Xiao Yu'er poured them a glass of water and said, "It's hard work." ”

Zhao Qingxia saw that it was the water poured by Xiaoyuer, and she was bored. Xi said: "It's not hard, it's not hard." It's a little tiring. "Drink it up. flickered and prepared to fall to the ground.

"Hey, hey?" When Li Gongzi saw this, he said sharply: "What kind of water did you give her to drink?" If something happens to her, I'm not done with you?! ”

"It's just a regular bowl of water." Xiao Yu'er said for a long time. So he leaned down to feel her pulse to see if it mattered.

Li Gongzi said angrily: "Don't touch her." He vigorously broke Xiao Yu'er's hand, picked up Zhao Qingxia and prepared to go back to the guest room.

Xiao Yu'er said: "Brother Li, Brother Zhao is just prostration, a little hypoglycemia. Just drink more brown sugar water. Li Gongzi walked on the stairs and turned around, staring at Xiao Yu'er with resentful eyes.

Xiao Yu'er was shocked and inexplicable.

Ma Xiaoling said: "Ignore them." They got tired of playing and went home. Then he asked, "How's the case going?" ”

Xiao Yu'er said: "You haven't heard the news spread on the streets along the way? ”

"What's the news?" Ma Xiaoling asked strangely. This also successfully attracted the county commander and Liu Zhutou.

Xiao Yu'er said: "The market has described this case in great detail. However, there is no mention of carrying the body. There was a woman's ring that fell on the floor. There is no mention of this. ”

"Why?" The crowd gathered around and said.

Xiao Yu'er said, "This morning, after this case happened, I immediately sent the disciples of the beggar gang to spread it around. ”

"Spread what?"

"It was I who found a gold ring on the road and at the inn. If you are lost, please contact the Yuelai Inn at tonight. ”

"That's why you let us wear casual clothes?" The county magistrate heard this.

"Please don't be surprised," said Xiao Yu'er.

"And who do you expect to pick up the lost item?"

"Well, it's the man in the brown coat, our red-faced friend in square-toed shoes. If he doesn't come himself, he will send a fellow party as well. ”

"Doesn't he think it's too dangerous to do that?"

"Never. If my opinion of this case is correct - I have every reason to be confident that I am not wrong. This person would rather take any risk than lose this ring. I think the ring fell when he leaned over to inspect the body, but he didn't notice it at the time. After leaving the house, he realized that he had lost the ring, and hurried back. However, he found that, due to his own carelessness, he had not put out the candle, and that the watchman had already arrived in the house. At such times, he appeared at the door of the house, and was likely to be suspected, so he had to pretend to be drunk. You don't have to put yourself in their shoes: after he thought about it carefully, he would have thought about it, or maybe he had dropped his ring on the road after leaving the house. So what to do? Naturally, he hurried to look in the evening newspaper, hoping to find something in the recruitment column. He must have been very happy to hear this, he was almost overjoyed, how could he be afraid that this was a trap? In his opinion, it makes no sense why the search for the ring must have something to do with the assassination. He will come, he must come. You'll be able to see him in half an hour. ”

"What will he do when he comes?" Qiao'er asked.

"That's why the people from the yamen will dress up in disguise." Xiao Yu'er continued: "Everyone relax, eat as usual, and don't make a fuss, so as not to startle the snake. ”

Half an hour passed quickly, and Xiao Yu'er said, "It's coming soon." Then he pretended to be casual and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious." He whispered, "I think that person is here." As he spoke, he heard the door open. Xiao Yu'er stood up gently and moved his chair towards the door.

"Does Brother Zhang Yu live here?" A rude but clear tone asked.

Xiao Er replied, "Yes." He was eating upstairs. Then he heard footsteps slowly, as if he were shuffling his steps. Everyone listened attentively, and their faces showed shock. Footsteps slowly walked down the aisle, and then a slight knock was heard.

"Please come in." Xiao Yu'er said loudly.

It was not the fierce god that Xiao Yu'er expected to come in, but a wrinkled old lady who staggered into the room. When she entered, she was suddenly dazzled by the light. After she had saluted, she stood there, looking at us with a dazzled old eye, and said, "I have heard that a ring was found on the road, and that it belongs to my daughter, who was married only at this time last year, and whose husband is a goldsmith. If he came back and found that her ring was gone, who knew what would happen to him. I couldn't think about it. His character is often impatient, and after drinking a little wine, he becomes even more irritable. I'm sorry, that's what happened, she went to the theater last night, yes-"

"Is this her ring?" Xiao Yu'er asked.

The old lady cried out, "Thank God! My daughter is going to die happy tonight. It was the ring she had lost. ”

Xiao Yu'er picked up a brush and asked, "Where do you live?" ”

"Northridge Township. It's a long way from here. ”

Xiao Yu'er suddenly said, "Old lady, aren't you afraid of danger when you walk at night so late?" And it's the town of Northridge, which is at least 40 miles away from the town of Northridge. And there was no troupe in town to act last night. And then there's your shoes, I've never seen a woman with big feet like yours. ”

The old lady's face tightened, ready to escape, and at this time, a group of people blocked the box.

I saw that the old lady was unusually flexible, jumped in front of Xiao Yu'er, and wanted to take him hostage, but who knows, Xiao Yu'er regretted beating this person to the ground.

"Brush" a couple of steel knives resting on his neck. Xiao Yu'er came to him, tore off his hood and fake skin, and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." (To be continued......)
