"What did he write?" Qin Dezheng asked.
"He praised my intelligence." After Su Xiaopei said this, he saw Du Chengming smile, "The girl is really funny."
Bai Yulang and the others on the side were still gesturing with scissors, muttering that they didn't think the gesture was imposing, Su Xiaopei was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Good to say, good to say."
There are many eyes and ears in front of the bulletin board, and it is not a good place to talk. Qin Dezheng poured two more cups of tea, and then he told Du Chengming all the way he did. Du Chengming also said: "We were in Pingzhou City yesterday, and we should have stayed there for two more days, but I heard that Wuzhen has not been peaceful these days, and the girl was frightened. This series of things is very strange, so Qin and I The lord quickly settled the matter over there and rushed back overnight. I didn't expect that the girl was in good spirits, and it seems that what the thief did, he couldn't scare the girl. He really is a hero among girls."
Bai Yulang interjected: "Eldest sister is so weird, how can you be easily frightened. Usually it is the eldest sister who scare others." It's to praise the hero of the eldest sister and daughter, just like Master Du."
Du Chengming and the others shook their heads and laughed, Bai Yulang laughed with him, and Ran Feize almost got a hole in his body.
Everyone communicated with each other about what happened during the different days. Qin Dezheng and Du Chengming were very interested in these Jianghu murders, but because of their arresting status, they were afraid that these Jianghu people would reject their participation and intervene, and finally caught the criminals. It is also difficult to arrest and convict him. Most of the rashness of Jianghu people is to solve these problems with Jianghu rules.
Bai Yulang shouted that there was such a big case, which was more interesting than catching some small thieves. Du Chengming laughed at him: "Jianghu people are not easy to deal with or manage. As long as things don't get serious, even the court will turn a blind eye to them. What's the use of the case just being interesting?"
Bai Yulang wants to say that he is a person in the Jianghu, how can the Jianghu person be so difficult to deal with. The latter thought that this person was a senior and an official, and he couldn't understand it when I told him, so he closed his mouth, but his face was covered with embarrassment, and he was very unconvinced.
Du Chengming ignored his childishness, but turned to Su Xiaopei: "Miss Su, what is the girl's plan for this thief's provocation?"
"I don't have any good plans either. Let's see what happens."
Du Chengming nodded and said again: "The girl is in charge of my territorial affairs here, I should take the responsibility of the girl's safety, so it's better, I will send some people over to take care of the girl nearby, so as to protect the girl well. "
When Qin Dezheng heard this, he also said, "Miss Su is my master of Ning'an City, and I, the Ning'an City government office, are also responsible for protecting each other. Let's take care of this matter."
Du Chengming didn't argue about this, he just said: "It's good to have more manpower. We can take care of it nearby and contribute together, it's fine."
Su Xiaopei did not refuse and thanked the two adults. In fact, she thinks that this matter is mostly polite. Is there really an official messenger going around their house
After everyone gathered for a while, Qin Dezheng and others wanted to go back to rest, make arrangements, and leave the group. Finally, only Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize were left in the room.
"Does the strong man have something to say?"
Ran Feize nodded: "What does that announcement mean?"
"Well done, dear, well done."
Ran Feize's brows furrowed: "Dear?"
"It means closeness."
"He molested you?" His face darkened instantly.
"That's not bad." Su Xiaopei was calm, she turned her head and looked at the materials posted on the wall in her room. "Strong man, I want to go back to Ning'an City."
"Do what?"
"Go and see Luo Linger's boudoir, I hope they have preserved the original appearance of her house."
Ran Feize's face was still bad: "What can I do with her room?"
"Contrast with Luo Linger's residence in Pingzhou City. We know that Luo Linger is a member of the organization behind the scenes, and she has an internal counselor in the Ning'an City Palace. The matter of her killing me must be I know. I've thought about it, the man behind the scenes has been provocative, but he didn't really do anything to my disadvantage. For him, the game of cat and mouse is more interesting than killing the mouse. That day, he handed out that letter, or he Sending someone to hand out that letter is the beginning of the game, and Luo Linger killing me is definitely not part of the game. dead."
"He can't control it, or if someone is disobedient and betrays him, he will kill?"
Su Xiaopei nodded: "With his personality, he would do such a thing."
"Then what's the use of seeing Luo Linger's former residence?"
"Luo Linger's temporary residence in Pingzhou City is simple but very warm. The house is neat and tidy, with flowers and gadgets. I don't know what kind of person she is, based on the few times I've seen her. , I have limited knowledge. It's just someone who wants to kill me to avenge my father, why would he manage his temporary residence like this?"
Ran Feize understood, and he would also carefully decorate the house. In the current situation where all the grass and trees were all soldiers, he placed flowers on Su Xiaopei's windowsill, bought a kite for her to hang on the wall, and changed the bed weft of the color she liked. . These are all because he likes her.
"But Luo Linger is happy with Chang Jun." After he said this, he immediately realized that it was wrong. He also knew that his affection would not get the return he expected, but he still fell in love.
"I understand." He nodded, "Let's go back to Ning'an City." He thought for a while: "Don't ask Luo Qin to arrest them, let's go by ourselves."
Su Xiaopei nodded, she also meant it.
"After lunch, Shiba and his apprentice brothers will come to guard you. You take a nap, and I'll go to the casting furnace at the back to give you weapons."
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Why don't you be in a hurry, scoop it up as soon as possible to have a defense." Ran Feize said: "Yesterday - you just told people from various factions about the inference of the person behind the scenes, today - he left that praise and molested you, His eyes and ears are very useful, or if he is among the group of people, we naturally have to take precautions."
Su Xiaopei held his chin and smiled: "The strong man's face really stinks."
"Can it be fragrant? Lao Tzu's girl was molested by wicked people, and Lao Tzu was furious."
"Then he threatened me before." His words made her blush, so she pretended not to understand.
"Threatening you is enough to make people hate you, and now it's still molesting!" The more Ran Feize thought about it, the more angry he became. "How can you explain the meaning of closeness when you talk about closeness?"
"How to solve what?"
"In our case, what should we call?"
"I don't know." Her answer was disgusted by him. But she really didn't know. No one taught her how to say this kind of baby in ancient times. She really couldn't think of it, but even if she knew, she couldn't tell him.
At noon, Ran Feize cooked too much food again, and she was not careful with the food, and then Su Xiaopei held on again. Ran Feize also blamed her, "Will you eat it for you? Humph, don't do this next time, girl."
Su Xiaopei grimaced: "The strong man make me a drum."
"Do what?"
"When I'm wronged, I'm good to knock."
Ran Feize actually held back his laughter. With a straight face, he replied, "I have to have a side too. My grievance is relatively large, so I have to play a big drum."
Su Xiaopei imagined how she and Ran Feize were playing drums face to face, and burst into a smile. "I have more grievances. I want a row of drums."
"what is that?"
"It's just a row of drums, big and small, in a circle." Su Xiaopei also gestured, learning to play drums with chopsticks.
Ran Feize poked her forehead: "Naughty." She turned her face to show him: "You are."
He couldn't help reaching out and pinching her cheek: "Don't put your face together." She yawned and blinked, she was really sleepy after eating too much.
"Go to bed."
"But eighteen and they haven't come yet."
"It's okay, you sleep on yours, I'll wait."
Su Xiaopei still wanted to hold on, but her eyelids kept falling down, she went back to the room and went to sleep muttering. In a daze, she suddenly felt that the door was opened, and she called: "strong man."
"It's me. It's okay, you sleep."
Su Xiaopei fell asleep peacefully. Ran Feize opened her door, sat in front of the table in the outhouse, and saw the symbols she posted on the wall through the position of her door. He sat in a circle according to the positions of the people today, and finally sat in the position where he could see the most clearly. He turned his head and looked from the corner of his eyes to see if he could see clearly. Then he thought for a long time.
If you don't understand it, you don't need to stare at it.
At this time, someone beckoned outside the window, and Ran Feize looked up and saw that it was Lou Lidong. He got up and closed Su Xiaopei's door, Lou Lidong smiled and jumped in.
"Can't you knock on the door like an ordinary person?"
"It's so tiring." Lou Lidong hangs on the spot and pours water himself.
"Tell me, what did you see?" He told Lou Lidong to keep an eye on him, and he must have come here after he discovered it.
"My brother did see something. Yesterday, near dusk, a man entered the door of the divine calculation quietly. He stayed in the hexagram room for a while and then left. My brother took a look, and the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and inkstone in the hexagram room were spread out. , but there is no text on it, and no letter in the secret box."
"What about before?"
"What happened before?"
"Is there any letter in the dark grid before?"
"Then I don't know."
"Then where was Gu Kang at the time?"
"I went to drink with a few people from Cui Shan Pai Luo Yimen, and didn't come back all night."
Ran Feize thought for a while, and he was indeed a meticulous person. He sent the message in a hidden format, so that not only did he know the news, but the person who sent the message had a proof of his alibi. That way no one can connect them together. He wrote a letter there, but did not leave it in the hidden compartment, it seemed that he took it away. Maybe it's the "Dear" letter that was posted on the notice wall. Did he find someone else to post it, or did he post it himself
"Where did that person go after he came out of the Gua Room?"
"After walking around the town, my brother was afraid of being exposed. He didn't get too close, so he got lost."
Ran Feize frowned.
Lou Lidong was very dissatisfied: "Hey, what's your attitude? My brother is also working very hard. The other party is too thief to follow. When you help me cast a ghost hand, I have no affection for you, but the account has to be settled. Understood, I can't help you in vain. Also, you have to be nicer to me, and... "
"That man is tall and thin?" Ran Feize interrupted his nonsense directly.
"Yes." Lou Lidong also knew Su Xiaopei's inference. "It's really tall and thin, I didn't see his appearance clearly, but he was indeed a little old. But then again, it's not easy to judge whether someone has a hidden disease just by looking at the age of the body, whether things are going well or not..." He While talking, he peeked at Ran Feize. His girl's remarks were too bold, and they aroused a lot of criticism.
"You owe a beating?" Ran Feize asked seriously.
"Hey." Lou Lidong was very unconvinced, "I never said it was you. But, brother, do you have a room?"
With a "dong", it was Ran Feize's fist that answered him.
Su Xiaopei was awakened by the sound of fighting outside the house, she sat up suddenly, listened for a while, and tried to call: "strong man?"
"Nothing!" Ran Feize answered her in a steady voice, "I'll beat a mouse, you sleep on yours."
"Who's the rat?" Su Xiaopei felt relieved when he heard Lou Lidong's angry voice.
"He needs to pay for the broken furniture." She said, going back and wanting to go back to sleep.
"Ah? Don't deceive people too much, you two..." What is this, he hesitated for a moment, scolding this fellow Ran Feize is not too much, but it is inappropriate to swear at the girl's family. After this hesitation, Dong Dong was beaten by Ran Feize again. Several punches. It's really tough to start.
Lou Lidong suddenly realized. "Mummy, Ran, aren't you having fun elsewhere and letting out your breath?" Just as he was about to fight back desperately to give him some color, there was a knock on the door.
"It's a fight!" Lou Lidong yelled rudely.
"Senior." Ji Jiawen hurriedly shouted outside the door.
Lou Lidong and Ran Feize stopped, and Ji Jiawen shouted again from outside: "Senior." The voice was very anxious.
Lou Lidong sighed, unable to listen any longer, and went to open the door for him. "In this case, you should kick the door open with one foot, and then help whoever you need to help, and use the knife when you need to. It's a bit bold." Looking at Ji Jiawen's clothes, "Oh, the Xuanqing faction, that's not true. Courage can be forgiven."
"What's the matter?" Ran Feize was stunned when he saw Ji Jiawen being said, and asked the key point directly. He came late today, but he came here like this, there must be something wrong.
"Senior, there is a female corpse with a letter on her body. The words on the letter are the same as those on the notice wall."
Su Xiaopei was awakened again. After adjusting his clothes a little, he was taken by Ran Feize and hurried to see it.
The deceased was a young woman, who was dressed as a nearby village girl. She was hung from a tree in the woods beside the town, her hair was cut short, and the broken hair was scattered under her feet. She widened her eyes and looked terrified. The corpse had not yet cooled down, and apparently died not long ago. Because the body was not hidden, it was very conspicuous, so it was quickly discovered. A piece of paper was nailed to the corpse with a branch, the branch pierced into the body, and the paper was soaked-wet-with blood.
"hi, honey, warstarts."
Su Xiaopei watched the scene, his stomach rumbling for a while, he turned his head and ran to the side, vomited.
Xiao Qi and others had already arrived. With a solemn expression on his face, he said to Ran Feize, "It was broken by a fist, and then hung up." As they were talking, Du Chengming and Qin Dezheng both brought people, and the deceased's parents also arrived. , When the peasant family saw their daughter's corpse, they jumped up and cried bitterly. Du Chengming hurriedly asked his subordinates to pull him away and persuade him to stop.
When a group of Jianghu people saw that the official was coming, they all stood away calmly. Bai Yulang was very unhappy when he stared at them, but Du Chengming and Qin Dezheng were not used to it. They just checked and discussed it. After Du Chengming looked carefully, he ordered the body to be put down. There was no crime in this town, so he wanted to bring the body back. Pingzhou City Survey. On the side, the parents of the deceased were crying, kowtowing and begging the official to call the shots.
Ran Feize turned to look at Su Xiaopei, who was vomiting miserably not far away, and said to Lou Lidong, "Your brother, it's always okay to recognize your figure, right?"
"You just beat me." Lou Lidong reminded him. "Anyone who is ashamed will not be embarrassed to make any request to me at this time."
Ran Feize glanced at him, and Lou Lidong said again: "As long as anyone with some backbone will not agree to any request at this time."
Ran Feize stopped looking at him, and said lightly, "There will be no ghosts in this world again."
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Lou Lidong quickly put on a smile: "I'm the kind of person who doesn't have a lot of backbone. Tell me, who do you recognize? You can recognize whoever you want. My brother is the best to talk."
