Ninety-sixth bowl of soup (2)
Although Xie He was a fast catcher, his father was a private school teacher during his lifetime, so his eating was not rude, but very elegant. But the fish soup was so delicious, he still couldn't get enough of it after eating a bowl of it, then picked up the pancakes and dipped the stewed fish, and ate it with the sauce, his stomach was full, and he remembered that he had eaten too much, but forgot The girl didn't move a word.
That's embarrassing.
Qing Huan was feeding the little baby, she saw that Xie He was shy, and said: "Master Xie is full? If it is not enough, there is still a fish in the tank."
What, what
And... a fish
Xie He's heart suddenly started to move. He looked at the girl in front of him, and his subordinates were muttering in the afternoon, and he overheard, only to realize that they were discussing the girl's beauty. Originally, Xie He didn't pay much attention to it, but now that he ate other people's fish and looked at it again, he suddenly felt that Qing Huan was unparalleled in beauty, and she was going to outshine other women by a large margin. Xie He has been traveling around all year round to solve cases, and his skin is a healthy bronze color, so it is not obvious that he blushes. He cleared his throat: "It suddenly occurred to me that Mr. Fu Yin is looking for me. I'll go first. Call me if you need something. By the way, this is for you."
He took out a money bag from his pocket and put it on the table. After all, if you eat other people's fish for free, it would be bad. "I'll take this child with you first. If you run out of money, you can tell me. I'm leaving."
After speaking, it was as if someone was chasing after him. Qing Huan chuckled and said, "It's pure love."
The little milk baby couldn't understand, so she opened her small mouth to eat, and then Qing Huan said: "Now you can rest assured, the child is in the capital, and with Xie He around, there will be no danger."
Others couldn't see it, but Qing Huan knew that there was a ghost who couldn't leave her every step of the way—it was Little Naiwa's father, Sun Shilang who was killed in the massacre that shocked the emperor.
When Qing Huan met him after arriving in this world, Sun Shilang was at a loss and flustered. Seeing that he had been wronged and that his life was undeserving, she helped him, stabilized his soul, and followed what he said to find his child. . Fortunately, the child was not too frightened. Although he was very scared without his parents around him, the child had a great forgetfulness and soon became dependent on Qing Huan, who provided milk, meat and meat, and played and slept with him.
Sun Shilang looked at his son with his little hands open for a hug, and couldn't help but want to respond, but his hands passed through the child's body, and the chubby, pink and tender child giggled, completely treating Qing Huan as the closest people. His face was disappointed and sad, but he couldn't help but rejoice.
It's good to be happy like this, don't remember anything, and you won't be overwhelmed by hatred.
Sun Shilang usually doesn't speak, so he just quietly accompanied the child, and occasionally chatted with Qing Huan for a while. Just now when Xie He came in, the man was full of yang energy, he didn't dare to get close and stayed far away.
He also wanted to find the murderer who killed their family as soon as possible, but he couldn't figure out who he had made a grudge against. Sun Shilang won the second place five years ago, entered the Hanlin Academy for four years, and came out as a minister of the Ministry of Industry. He had a bright future, but unexpectedly his family was ruined overnight.
What exactly happened.
He himself was confused. Now all hopes are pinned on the Kyoto government, especially Mr. Yang, who is like a god in solving cases, and Xie He, who is the god of arrest. If neither of these two people can avenge him, then he is really going to die.
Qing Huan didn't care what Sun Shilang was doing, she took the money bag, weighed it, and then opened it to count. Hmm... a total of two copper coins and three pieces of silver, which may be a lot for ordinary people, but for her it can't even plug the gap between her teeth. But forget it, Mr. Xie is a poor ghost at first glance.
I didn't see Mr. Xie for the next two days, and Xie He came back at noon on the third day. After Qing Huan asked, she realized that there was still no progress in the case of Sun Shilang, but there was another murder case. A soaked and whitish man was found in the river. After the autopsy, it was found that the deceased was strangled to death during his lifetime, so he did not slip into the river, but was strangled to death and then dumped his body.
This is troublesome, because many people who come and go in Kyoto are not locals, and many wealthy businessmen from other places come to do business. Such a person has no face and no one to report the crime. How can he find someone? This happens every year, and there are at least a dozen unidentified corpses in the morgue. When the corpse really couldn't be preserved, Master Yang would decide to dispose of it.
After Xie He finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, and said angrily, "I shouldn't have said this to you." This is a girl.
When his old mother was still alive, she was worried about his marriage. Xie He is twenty-five this year. For ordinary people at his age, they have a bunch of children, but he is still single. Not only him, but the entire police team are basically bachelors. When the police say that they are honorable and eat public food, but this job really has no fixed number, and it is dangerous. Whose good girl is willing to marry. When his old mother was alive, he asked a matchmaker to match a few girls, but when the girls heard that it was Xie He, the evil spirit, they all shook their heads and waved their hands in fright, and slept on the same kang with such a person, they were afraid that they would wake up the next morning. All move.
This is a bit of a rumor, Xie He is really not that scary. But everyone took this as a story, so he continued to order.
He himself can't speak, which is a shortcoming, and Xie He himself admits it. Otherwise, why would he tell such horror stories to scare her when the girl asked casually
Xie He is still very gentle when dealing with good people who have not committed crimes, but everyone did not give him this chance and ran away when they saw him. This was the first girl who dared to listen to him, so she said a little more without knowing it.
Then start to regret it.
Qing Huan really wants to tell him that I am not afraid, and by the way, there is a coward who is frightened by your aura huddled in the corner of the room.
Seeing Qing Huan get up, Xie He was even more convinced that he had frightened her. Unexpectedly, Qing Huan came back soon, holding a money bag in his hand: "Master Xie, you gave this to me before. I saw a few holes in it, so I repaired it for you. The money in it is I didn't move, you can use it yourself, you don't need to give it to me."
Xie He's money bag was sewn by his old mother. After using it for several years, it did have a few holes, but they were all on the top, and the bottom hole was small, so neither copper coins nor silver could fall out, so he didn't bother to change it. , have to spend money to buy. Unexpectedly, Qing Huan mended it for him, and it was as good as new. The stitches were dense and beautiful, and the entire purse was upscale.
He took the money bag back, but the money in it was poured out and pushed over: "It's for you."
Qing Huan really wanted to tell him that I was rich, very rich, and I could make N times more money than you by just going out and telling my fortune. But after thinking about it, she still accepted Mr. Xie's kindness and did not reject him.
Xie He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it would be embarrassing if he was rejected again. He had come to see the little Naiwa, after all, he was also the only survivor of the massacre of the Sun family. Seeing that it was noon and dinner was about to be served, before he could say goodbye, Qing Huan asked to stay, "Master Xie, do you want to stay for lunch? There is still a perch in the water tank that has not been eaten."
Fish, fish...
"Then I will bother you." Master Xie said.
Qing Huan smiled, and stuffed the little milk baby into his arms: "Thank you, sir, for taking a look at Little Pomegranate."
It is not the first time for Xie He to hold a child, but it is the first time to play with a child, so he is a little nervous. And he suddenly felt that this looked like a family of three, the virtuous and gentle wife was cooking, and the husband who came back from business was playing with his son... This thought made him despise himself. I want to be beautiful, and I want to marry a wife!
Such a pretty girl, how could she look down on such a vulgar guy like him, he was too busy to take a break, and such a small salary can't afford to support a delicate girl. Xie He has a pair of sharp eyes, and Qing Huan's clothes and accessories, although they are all elegant and simple, are not commonplace. Although she said that she was a fortune teller, Xie He knew that they were not from the same world. Just as it is impossible for a lady from a noble family to marry him, a girl from an ordinary family does not want to be the wife of the young master.
Better stop dreaming and think about the case.
After a while, a seductive aroma wafted from the kitchen, distracting Xie He who was thinking about the case and playing with him. This aroma is... sweet and sour fish!
ah!
Even if it's fish juice, he can eat three bowls in one go when poured on white rice!
However, when Xie He was waiting to eat fish, a tragic scene happened.
As a leader who is respected and feared by his subordinates, other arresters dare not eat when he is not around. But the brothers at noon have been busy all morning, running around arresting people, looking for clues and looking for evidence, they are all hungry, where is the boss at this moment? They dare not start unless he comes!
Just when everyone was dying of hunger, Lord Yang passed by with rice and told them: "Boss, I went to Miss Qinghuan's yard just now, saying that I went to see that child."
clear! joyous! Auntie! mother!
Isn't that the beautiful girl with flowers all around the house!
It would be a cruel thing for anyone to ask the boss to come to dinner, after all, everyone doesn't want to mess with the boss. But when it comes to beauties, the policemen get excited. It's nothing to offend the boss if you can take a look at a beautiful girl!
So a group of people came, Qing Huan roughly counted, there were more than a dozen, and her small yard was packed to the brim.
Then the men were collectively attracted by the scent of sweet and sour fish, watching eagerly, one boldly asked: "Girl, I'll bring a bowl of white rice, the juice...can you give me a spoonful?"
Qing Huan smiled and said, "Yes."
"Thanks!"
A thank you went down, but there was no one there, and then a dozen tall and burly men rushed over with bowls in their hands. The sweet and sour fish was not ready yet, so they all squatted at the kitchen door and waited.
Eat fish, eat fish, eat fish! This taste! The incense is dead!
Master Yang was strolling with rice, but he also came looking for incense. He saw a group of subordinates squatting at the door of the kitchen, so he also squatted down silently, and stood at the end of the line.
Xie He: Get lost.
