In the restaurant, everyone was thinking about the question raised by Mu Xiaojiu.

That's right, the biggest question in front of everyone now is - why, why did those Fuso ninjas do this? Why would they rather kidnap an old lady with half her leg buried in a coffin and a little girl who is not so small?

In fact, if it is to hide the secret, there is obviously an easier way, such as killing this pair of grandchildren. In this way, not only does it save time and effort, but as long as it is done decisively and simply enough, it can also make others unable to find any flaws.

Why take this risk?

This is already the second question before everyone.

In fact, these Fusang ninjas wanted to kill the city guard Gu Yuechen of Luoyang City, plus kidnapping the old lady Liu's ancestors and grandchildren, these are all things that make everyone puzzled.

Killing Gu Yuechen will not do any good at all, at least from the perspective of the Fusang people. In the twists and turns between the Central Plains and Fusang, Gu Yuechen couldn't set off any storms at all. And kidnapping Mrs. Liu and her granddaughter is a thankless thing that does not benefit at all.

However, this is how the Fuso people did it.

Although in the eyes of Mu Xiaojiu and others, these two things of Fusang people are indeed very clueless. But in fact, everyone didn't believe that these ninjas who were sent out were really clueless.

Therefore, there is only one explanation for these two things, and that is that the Fuso people have another conspiracy. And everyone can almost conclude that this conspiracy will definitely not be small.

But now the question is, what exactly is the conspiracy of these Fuso people?

"I think the most important thing for us now is to find Mrs. Liu first." Linghu Jisang said: "These Fusang people would rather spend so much effort to kidnap Mrs. Liu, which is enough to prove that these Fusang people definitely value Mrs. Liu very much, if we find Mrs. Liu, maybe we can learn some very important information." ”

Hua Jianniang shook her head, "No, I don't think so, indeed, it is important to find Mrs. Liu, but theoretically speaking, it is also important to understand the motive of the perpetrator, after all, if we don't even know why the other party did these things, even if we know the other party's secret, it will be difficult to solve the problem from the root." ”

The two men had their own opinions, and soon they quarreled.

"Am I a cop or are you a cop!"

"What's wrong with the police?" Linghu Jisang obviously scoffed at this sentence: "Are the police very powerful?" So why are there so many big cases and unsolved cases in reality? Why are there so many grievances? ”

Hua Jiaoniang's words couldn't help but choke, but soon he responded: "So what? Would you be able to solve those cases if it were you? Who do you think you are? Conan or Sherlock Holmes? What qualifications do you have to question the real real police? ”

Linghu Jisang sneered, "Hehe, tsk, what? What happened to Wild Fox Zen? Don't make yourself look like you're good. ”

Just when Hua Jianniang wanted to sneer again, Mu Xiaojiu stood up, frowned and rubbed her temples, and then shouted, "Okay! Stop arguing! What's there to be noisy about? The two of you are arguing here, even if you can really fight for a victory? Is it possible to solve the case? Do you really have the ability to use it to investigate the case? Whoever finds out is capable! ”

Mu Xiaojiu's words were originally intended to stop the quarrel between the two people, but he was also concerned about the chaos, but he forgot that the two people of Linghu Jisang and Hua Jiaoniang were already looking at each other unpleasantly at this moment. Mu Xiaojiu's words came out, not only did not prevent the contradictions between the two people from continuing to intensify, but made the two of them say directly in unison: "Check it!" Who's afraid of whom? ”

As the words fell, the two of them snorted coldly at the same time, and then walked out of the room at the same time.

Mu Xiaojiu sighed helplessly, then sat down, and finally said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Linghu Jisang is not proficient in martial arts, and Fusang people don't have too many scruples, so rashly investigating the case is inevitably dangerous, I hope you can send some people to help." Although I don't know much about Hua Jiaoniang, but looking at his every move, even if he has martial arts, he will not be too strong, so please also ask you to help him. ”

The words and deeds of the two of them fell in the eyes of Gu Yuechen and the others, so they also agreed with Mu Xiaojiu's words, so as soon as Mu Xiaojiu finished saying this, these people sent soldiers over to help.

"So, Master Mu, what are we going to do next?" After Lu Ming sent his soldiers, he asked with concern on his face.

Mu Xiaojiu shrugged his shoulders, "To be honest, the best thing we can do now is to wait, but it is obviously not a good thing to sit back and wait, so I think that in addition to the two of them going to investigate the case, we can also start from the information they gave before." As he spoke, he looked at the workman, "Fortunately, although the two of them are willful, we still have a workforce here." ”

He smiled a little embarrassedly, he was very aware of the difference between himself and Linghu Jisang and Hua Jiaoniang, so Mu Xiaojiu's words did not make him feel unhappy.

"Previously, the two of them had unanimously confirmed that one of the Fusang people who attacked the soldiers last night had drunk in the restaurant, if according to Linghu Jisang's speculation, then the restaurant where these people drank should be near the place where the crime occurred last night."

After Mu Xiaojiu finished saying this, he looked at Qi Zuo.

He nodded a little humbly, and then said, "That's right, there is no problem with what Master Mu said. If Linghu Gongzi's speculation is not wrong, then it is almost possible to identify the restaurant where the Fuso people drank before the murder on this street. As he spoke of his reasoning, he dipped his index finger in a little wine and drew a pattern on the table, "Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look." ”

Everyone looked over and saw that the pattern was very simple, with only a vertical line and a few dots.

Of course, everyone here is not stupid, so after thinking about it for a while, it came to the idea that the painting was obviously the street where the crime occurred last night and the location of Mrs. Liu's tailor shop, and the other dots were impressively marked.

"Obviously, what we can be sure of at the moment is that Mrs. Liu's shop is on the street where the Fusang attacked the soldiers last night, and it is right next to the killing place. If you stand in a tailor's shop, you can see the fire outside. In addition, there are two taverns on the same street. Speaking of which, he probed his hand, "Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder what you have discovered?" ”

Gu Yuechen is worthy of being the city guard, although he is not good at logical thinking in investigating cases, but he still quickly gave an answer" This shows that in fact, these two groups of people have communicated before, and those Fusang people who did it first were on this street. ”

Lu Ming lost no time in slapping a sycophant, "Lord City Guard is really smart, and the second point is that even his subordinates didn't expect it." ”

Gu Yuechen smiled faintly, "It's actually very simple, I just think that if I and a group of people want to beat someone after drinking too much, it is absolutely impossible to have the patience to follow others for a distance before starting." ”

Everyone laughed, and in the end, it was Gu Yuechen who made the decision to set the next itinerary, "Since you have guessed something, then without further ado, everyone will finish eating as soon as possible, and then go to these nearby places where you can drink and ask, see which restaurant received those Fusang people last night." In addition, send someone to inform you that the affairs of the Fusang people should not be hidden, and the news will be released directly, and in the next period of time, anyone who can provide the exact news of the Fusang people will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. ”

Lu Ming, the local officials of Luoyang City, received the order and knelt down on one knee to accept it.

……

"What? Fuso people? How can there be Fusang people in our Luoyang City? Didn't you hear that the people of Fuso live on small islands outside the East China Sea? ”

"Yes, but I heard that the small island where those Fusang people live is very narrow, and the place is not very big, not as big as half of our Central Plains, maybe they covet our Central Plains, so they are ready to send troops to plunder, and send people over to investigate the situation first."

"Tsk, half? According to me, you still say that it is less, maybe the places where those Fusang people live are not as small and half as large as our Central Plains. ”

In the midst of all the discussions, a diminutive man looked at the notice on the wall, snorted coldly, and muttered in a language that no one around him could understand, while a wisp of disdain flashed in his eyes.

What he didn't notice, however, was that behind him, a young man heard the voices and saw something strange about him. Therefore, the young man raised his hand in the air, and at the same time pointed his finger at the diminutive man.

Mu Xiaojiu, who was standing on the terrace of the restaurant opposite, narrowed his eyes, suddenly jumped down from the terrace, and at the same time raised his hand to point forward, and a sword qi suddenly burst out from his fingers, directly penetrating the short man's right shoulder.

The short man let out a cry of pain, and the whole person who was brought by the strength of Mu Xiaojiu's finger sword fell directly to the ground.

And Mu Xiaojiu had already fallen beside him at this time, and stepped on the man's chest.

The short man's face was cold for a while, and he muttered a sentence in his mouth, although Mu Xiaojiu couldn't understand it, he still barely recognized that it was Fusang's language.

"Heh, it's really Fuso." Mu Xiaojiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and bent his fingers and snapped out two fingers in succession, pointing at the man's acupoint, and then bent down and lifted him up. At the same time, Mu Xiaojiu also took out a money bag from his waist, raised his hand and threw it to the young man who pointed out the short man in Fusang, "Good job, the reward of one hundred taels of silver is yours." ”

The scene in front of him immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding onlookers.

"Wow! It turns out that there are really Fuso people! ”

"Oops! Look at that money bag, it's so big, and there is a real hundred taels of silver in it, if we can find the Fusang people like that kid just now and report it to the government, wouldn't we have sent it? ”

"Yes, no, no, no, you can pay more attention to these two days, the notice says that the Fuso people may hide anywhere, and it is even possible to hijack the residents and then use the houses to hide."

Of course, there are also some people who are not confused by the immediate interests, and muttered softly, "How can it be so coincidental that there is really a Fuso person, and then someone identified it, and it just so happened that there was an ambush master nearby?" ”

All this, of course, is not a coincidence, but has been arranged for a long time.

When he set off, Mu Xiaojiu proposed that he and Gu Yuechen and the others split into two ways, Gu Yuechen and the others went to the restaurant to inquire about the news, and he took people to post notices, and by the way, he saw if he could lead a few Fusang people to take the bait.

Before this notice was posted, there were actually more than 20 soldiers of different ages, dressed in civilian clothes, hidden among the onlookers. These people had already received Mu Xiaojiu's order, and once they found the Fusang people, they immediately raised their hands to identify them, and Mu Xiaojiu would come out to solve them as soon as possible.

If this doesn't work, it's just a waste of time. But if it can be successful, it can not only play the role of scaring the grass and snakes, but also make the Fusang people cry and mess up; At the same time, it can also make the surrounding onlookers feel that what the official notice said is true, and as long as they really find the traces of the Fusang people, they can receive a bounty of one hundred taels of silver.

What is the concept of a hundred taels of silver? I don't need to go into too much detail about this, it's not a hundred dollars, even if you exchange it with real money, it will cost two hundred yuan to exchange it for one or two pieces of silver.

After Mu Xiaojiu left the area around the notice with the Fusang man in his hand, he quickly turned into a small alley where there were few people. Then, not long after, the young man who had taken the "reward money" from Mu Xiaojiu also followed, and at the same time returned the money bag to Mu Xiaojiu.

You know, there's more than a hundred taels of silver. In addition to copper plates and silver, there is also some gold in Mu Xiaojiu's money bag.

Seeing that the young man was not reluctant at all, Mu Xiaojiu couldn't help but smile, and took out a piece of silver from the money bag, which was not light or heavy, and almost weighed five or two weights, and threw it to the young man, "Although it is said that this is your job, you have done a good job, and these are what you deserve." ”

The young man's eyes lit up, he didn't expect to be able to get the money at all, but he didn't expect that this Master Mu still rewarded him with five taels of silver, which was enough for him to go out to eat and drink well for a few days.

"Okay, I'll go to the next place and wait for you first, you call those brothers, pack up, go to the next place to post notices, and we will try to lure a few more big fish from Fusang to take the bait while the news has not spread too much."

After speaking, Mu Xiaojiu turned around and left the alley directly.
