Chapter 218: Missing
Gamblers are proud of their winnings, and they want the whole world to know.
The old lady of the Jin family called him to train a few times, but he also went in and out of his left ear, and he didn't take it to heart, but bragged about his own time. The old lady of the Jin family understood what kind of character her son was, and she didn't care about it until her chest was blocked, and only quietly hid the money from the sale of the house.
The good times didn't last long, Jin Dashao's good luck only lasted less than half a month, and then there were ups and downs, and he was unhappy in the past two months, and he has always lost more and won less.
The people in the gambling house got the Tu family's signal, let him win a small loss, and cut him a sum of money to give him a little sweetness to taste, so that Jin Dashao thought that he could still turn the book.
After going back and forth like this, the more than 1,000 taels of silver he had earned had already been lost, and he unknowingly smashed in more than 1,000 taels.
Ten days ago, Jin Dashao was detained by the gambling house because he owed too many debts, and the old lady of the Jin family took the money to ransom him. This incident was known all over the city, and the old lady of the Jin family lost all her face.
Now that Jin Dashao is dead, the old lady of the Jin family believes that the Tu family wants to harm her son, so she sent someone to kill her.
But she had no proof.
When Chitose heard this, he asked, "What do the families in the city think?"
"We hear a lot of buzz in the streets, all sorts of weird things. As for what the big family said, he couldn't go into the house, and he couldn't hear it.
Yan Saburo shook his head: "Ninety percent is not the Tu family's doing. ”
Huang Da was slightly stunned: "Why?" He felt that it was very likely that the Tu family would make a move, how did that word come about? Oh, the motive is sufficient!
"If the Tu family wanted to kill him, they would have done it a long time ago, so why spend months fishing him back to the gambling house to lose money?" Chitose said with a smile, "This kind of big family is used to killing people with soft knives, how can it be as simple and rude as you imagine? Not to mention that the Jin family is in decline, and there is only one loser and the old lady who depend on each other, what is the benefit of the Tu family killing them? ”
The Tu family has an identity in Chunming City, and they want to be face-saving, so they can't kill this kind of person and cause trouble.
The white cat stretched: "Before the Jin family fell, Jin Dashao also did the bastard thing of bullying men and women, maybe the enemy at that time came to the door." ”
Yan Saburo hummed softly.
......
Yan Saburo was highly concerned about Jin Dashao's murder, and even went to Hongyan to find out the news.
After a few days, the case was finally pieced together bit by bit. The cause of Jin Dashao's death was drowning, and there were no scars on his body.
Because he was scooped up from the water, no one knew where he fell into the water.
There is only so much information collected by Hongyan Feishu. Yan Saburo pressed his head, and Chitose said on the side: "There are too few clues, and I can't find out at all." ”
Yan Saburo didn't know why, but he didn't know why, he felt vaguely worried in his heart, as if something was going to fall on him.
If it is used in the word fortune telling, it is called ominous.
He told Chitose about this strange feeling.
Instead of laughing at him, she said with a serious face, "In that case, let's be careful next." Cultivators have whims, they are very effective, you have to learn to use them. ”
A few days later, another piece of news came.
This was not verified by the government, but collected by Hongyan Feishu. Yan Saburo understood as soon as he heard it, why the official office did not accept it:
On the night of Jin Dashao's death, a neighbor said that he heard faint singing coming from the river, not far from where Jin Dashao was scooped up.
The voice was melodious and pleasant, but unfortunately it was too ethereal, if there was nothing, but before he could come forward, the song disappeared. He thought he was hallucinating, and he didn't think much about it and went home to sleep.
There are too many subjective hysterical judgments in this kind of remarks, and the officials do not pay attention to them, especially the so-called witness, who is addicted to alcohol and often goes home drunk, and even the neighbors think that he is talking nonsense.
The old lady of the Jin family went to the office to hand over the complaint, and she must sue the Tu family. Jin Dashao died, she no longer had nostalgia in the world, and she was not afraid of any powerful people.
But she had no evidence in her hand, and the official didn't accept it, so she was only asked to go home and wait for news.
In this regard, the Tu family ignored it.
In fact, everyone talked about it, and they all said that Jin Dashao was drunk and drowned himself. After all, a few days before he disappeared, he was seen drunk and walking back along the river.
The official office also listed this possibility, but the old lady of the Jin family would never accept it. She shouted and cursed in the yard of her house, and the neighbors around her endured it for two days and began to complain.
......
Chunming City gradually became enveloped in unease.
On this day of the heavy snow season, goose feathers and heavy snow really fell.
Lian Rongsheng went out for something, the school was suspended for seven days, and Yan Saburo was at home to review his homework, and he didn't dare to relax, because the master came back to take the test.
The room was lit with fine silver charcoal, and there was almost no smoke, but the room was warm like spring. Yan Saburo was engrossed in the book, and the white cat squinted and lay on the side of the charcoal basin, so comfortable that he took frequent naps.
Cat winter, cat winter, cat's winter should be like this.
Ah, how about eating at noon?
Before he could think about this question, there was a knock on the door outside, and Huang He called: "Master." ”
"Come in. ”
The door opened, and Huang He and Huang Er walked in. What is rare is that the two untransformed little weasels, Huang San and Huang Si, also followed closely behind.
These two little things are afraid of Chitose and rarely take the initiative to come to her. As soon as Yan Saburo looked down and saw them, he had some bad premonitions in his heart. "What's the matter?"
Sure enough, Huang He's face was solemn: "The boss went into the city early in the morning to receive the medicine, and he should have come back before the time, but now there is no shadow." My little ones and I searched the neighborhood but couldn't find him, so we had to ask the two masters for help. ”
At this time, it was Shen Shi, and more than three hours had passed since the time of Shen. This is not enough time for the missing person to report the case, but Yan Saburo and Chitose know that Huang Da is a very punctual weasel, and the time error rarely exceeds a quarter of an hour, let alone nearly four hours.
What's more, the recent turmoil in Chunming City is enough to make people worried.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Chitose at once.
The white cat opened its eyes and yawned, and the glass lamp appeared from the void, emitting a halo of light.
The light was not as bright as the charcoal in the brazier, but no one dared to underestimate it.
"It's good that the strength has recovered a little recently, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to summon it. During the day, Chitose's body fell asleep in the wooden bell, but fortunately, the glass lamp was her natal weapon, and she could barely summon it. However, without the support of willpower, its magical powers are almost impossible to exert at present, and only two or three special effects can still be activated.
For example, lighting, and then -
The white cat stretched out its furry forepaw and flicked it at will, scratching it like a marquee, spinning in place.
I don't know how many times the glass lamp turned, Chitose suddenly held it down: "It's here!"
