"What did the girl think of, what clues?" Du Chengming quickly returned to normal and asked seriously.
Su Xiaopei looked at him carefully and caught the head. He really did not expect this identity. If Ran Feize hadn't observed him carefully reading her information, she would have never suspected him.
Su Xiaoxuan shook his head: "I can't think of anything, I don't have any clues. The adults investigated the case, but what did they find out?"
"At first glance, the girl was killed by a severed neck. She was the daughter of a nearby farmhouse. She did farm work for the family well in the morning, but she wanted to come to the town to buy some items in the afternoon, but she was unexpectedly hit by this disaster. The only daughter in the family is usually well-behaved and pleasant. She has no grudges against anyone. She has already made an appointment with a family named Zhu in the same village and will get married next spring. Although there are people in Linbian from time to time, no one has seen her killed. No one heard her cry for help. I asked the people who passed by the place around the time, and no one saw any suspicious person." Du Chengming paused and asked, "Girl, the murderer left a letter on top of that corpse for you, She cut off the girl's hair again, and also alluded to the girl's short hair, the girl thinks about it, what clues can you have?"
Su Xiaopei shook his head: "I really can't remember anything."
"What's the meaning of the letter?"
"It's just a greeting and intimidation, it doesn't mean much."
Du Chengming frowned: "Does the girl know what someone did? What inference?"
Su Xiaopei still shook his head: "It is true that some people want to trouble me, but I have already told the adults about this. Now that the murder is sudden, I don't know what to do."
Du Chengming looked at her carefully, and finally clasped his fists: "So, I will continue to investigate and investigate, and I will definitely catch the murderer. If the girl has any thoughts, you can report it to me at any time."
"If you have any clues, please let me know. I will do my best to help."
The two were polite, and then Du Chengming led his subordinates to leave, and wanted to rush back to Zhenya to continue his official business. He made a temporary salute, raised his head and glanced at Su Xiaopei's middle-finger gesture sticking to the wall again, then turned his head and left.
Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize looked at each other. Ran Feize asked, "How?"
"If the strong man said that, he would have missed it. We have to find evidence to prove it."
Ran Feize nodded, he beckoned to call Bai Yulang, and explained to him that this matter was related to Su Xiaopei's life and safety, and asked him to keep an eye on every move of Du Chengming's investigation.
"Uncle Ran is worried about Mr. Du's ineffective handling of the case? Don't worry, Uncle Ran, and Mr. Qin is watching. The eldest sister is our own family, so we naturally won't take it lightly. I will supervise Mr. Du well." Bai Yulang was full of energy.
Ran Feize nodded solemnly, ignoring Bai Yulang's use of the following unruly word "supervise", and instructed: "The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, don't make it public, you just know it in your heart, just keep an eye on it and keep calm. If you think you don’t care, you will relax and let you see the clues.” At this time, there is no basis and no evidence, and I dare not teach other people to know their doubts, so as not to startle the snake, I can only click on it.
Bai Yulang listened, thought about it seriously, and nodded vigorously: "Understood. The murderer will definitely look for opportunities, and I will observe carefully."
"Don't be loud."
"Understood." The more Bai Yulang thought about it, the more excited he became. "I'll go immediately. If there is news, I will report to Uncle Ran."
"Is this appropriate?" Su Xiaopei was not too confident in the frizzy Bai Yulang.
"That's all we can do for now. We will make further plans when we find more clues and make it clear."
"That's right." With her and Ran Feize, they couldn't arrest someone for interrogation with a little suspicion. The identity of the head arrester seems to have some advantages.
Ran Feize took Su Xiaopei to meet Lou Lidong. Lou Lidong's yard looked like an ordinary house of an ordinary family. When he saw Ran Feize, he lowered his eyebrows and shook his head.
"how?"
Lou Lidong sighed: "Brother, it's not that I don't help, but my brothers didn't recognize the people you mentioned."
"What do you mean by not being recognized?"
"It's the people who were present who were in line with the girl's inference. My brothers have read all of them and identified them according to their posture and behavior. They don't think there is the suspicious person he saw."
"No?" Ran Feize frowned, "Nothing similar?"
"If you want to talk about similarity, you should know that many people walk and raise their hands and feet without obvious features, and their postures are not too surprising, so most people can say they are similar, only we do the business of stealing, relying more on feeling. , I saw a lot of people, and I left an impression in my heart, and I can distinguish different people. Therefore, I can't say whether they are similar or not, I just feel it, and I feel that among those people today, they are not."
"Where's the official?" Ran Feize didn't want to point it out too clearly, so as not to leave them with a prejudice. Once people have a prejudice, they see everything like it. But now I haven't recognized any of them, so I have to narrow it down a bit.
"The officials have also seen it. Who am I, a smart person, whether men or women, or people of similar stature, let him argue, really no."
No? Su Xiaopei understood. She glanced at Ran Feize, and he was looking at her, both of them were tight. Alright now, it wasn't Du Chengming who came out of the gate of divine calculation, and it wasn't Du Chengming who killed the village girl in the woods at noon, so who could it be? If it wasn't for Du Chengming who wrote the letter at Shenshenmen, who was it? But he was looking at her English information, and he also responded to the middle finger.
Su Xiaopei was a little disappointed, the clue that he finally found seemed to be cut off. Can't get up.
She and Ran Feize were sitting in Lou Lidong's yard, holding their heads and thinking face to face. Lou Lidong walked in and out several times. Seeing that they were still there, he couldn't help asking: "You guys don't talk and you have nothing to do, why are you staying here?"
Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize looked at each other, yes, what are they doing here, they seem to be too lazy to leave, and they are the same wherever they sit. The two looked at each other again and said in unison, "Wait for dinner."
Lou Lidong opened his mouth wide. He was waiting for a meal. He was a free errand worker. What benefits have he not seen yet
"You two..." He swallowed back half of the words, and it's not too much to scold Ran Feize for anything, but foul language is not good for scolding the girl's family. "Tell me, do you need anything else?"
Actually there is.
Ran Feize said: "Do you know which restaurant Gu Kang and Cao Hedong went to drink? Can you inquire about the specific situation? For example, who left the table halfway, and how long they were away."
Su Xiaopei saw that Ran Feize had mentioned it, and said, "Can I trouble Lou Daxia to also inquire about the family situation of the head of Pingzhou City, Du Chengming, his wife, concubines, children, grandchildren, etc., whether they are in harmony, how is Du Daxia as a person, and how do others comment?" She and Ran Feize are not good at inquiring about this by themselves, lest the other party become suspicious, it is best if they can ask others.
Before Lou Lidong spoke, Ran Feize said, "Well, as well as what Miss Su said, do you a favor and find out."
Lou Lidong opened his mouth and was speechless. To answer "no", of course not. To respond readily, he was not reconciled. He should say something to choke them. He feels that he may not be an opponent. He thinks it is too difficult to make the couple feel ashamed that they owe him.
Such a good match, how did they match up? The same old and unmarried, the same eccentric and unusual temperament, the same intelligence with their own abilities, and the same cheeky and shameless.
Perfect match, his grandma's.
Lou Lidong angrily agreed, and went down to the cook to order more dishes, and two shameless people wanted to stay for dinner. But after he finished explaining, the cook discussed the dishes with him and made preparations. He turned back to the yard, only to see the two muttering as if they had just finished speaking, and stood up together.
"how?"
"It's getting late, we should go back. We still have to cook for the girl."
Lou Lidong's face turned dark. Did he just say that he was in charge of the meal, was he flirting with him
Su Xiaopei looked embarrassed, and said to him: "It's hard work, please trouble you." Ran Feize added: "Come to me if you have news, the sooner the better, this matter can't be delayed." Lou Lidong really wanted to pass by him He tripped him when he was beside him, to see if his face could be broken if it fell to the ground. It's a pity that Ran Feize completely ignored his resentment. He also heard the shameless man walking out and said to Miss Su, "My cooking skills are definitely better than his cook. Go back and I will steam eggs for you."
Shameless, how did he have the face to say this? Whose cook is not better than you! This fellow has also done that while disgusting Xuanqing's cooks for their poor cooking skills, and at the same time grabbing people up before dawn to teach him to make breakfast. These humiliating things are not a secret. Lou Lidong was annoyed and thought about their entrustment. Well, in addition to checking the entry and exit of a few people in the restaurant, he also checked the whereabouts of those people in the past two days. That Mr. Du, the head catcher, the head catcher is the most annoying, and he is the enemy of their gang of thieves. If you want to check the status of his house, then check his contacts, friends, enemies, etc. by the way.
Su Xiaopei was still thinking about it on the way home: "Just now, I should have said a few more words to Master Lou, and let him not be limited to the scope of what we said. It's better to do more research. The more information, the more useful it is."
"Don't worry, he will. That guy is in charge of the thief gang, and it's all right."
The two discussed, while Lou Lidong kept sneezing in his yard.
That night, Ran Feize was going to burn weapons for Su Xiaopei in the casting cellar in the mountain behind the house. He said that he would find Xiao Qi and the others to stay in the outhouse and guard Su Xiaopei. However, Su Xiaopei felt a little awkward, "A lot of things happened today, I don't think I can sleep, can I go with you?"
"It's very hot there, and I'm very noisy, you can't rest well."
Su Xiaopei frowned. Ran Feize persuaded her: "If you haven't slept well, you won't have the energy, but you can't compare to me. I'll cast it earlier, you can use it sooner, and I'm relieved to have a self-defense. You sleep with you, wait for you. When I wake up, I'm here."
Su Xiaopei bit his lip, still not wanting to be separated from him. But what he said made sense, she knew that she was naive and self-willed, and she couldn't think of any good reason. So she didn't say anything, just stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Ran Feize's heart softened suddenly. With such a small gesture, he would agree to any request she made.
So Ran Feize took Su Xiaopei to the back mountain. The back mountain has seven turns and turns. There is a mountain cellar. The secret door is open. Above the sky, you can see the starry sky.
Su Xiaopei didn't go inside too much, but as far as she could see, the furnishings inside were neat and clean. Ran Feize went in and walked around, took out a lot of things, put a small couch for her to rest, and took a blanket. After that, Su Xiaopei just sat on the couch with a blanket and watched him work. The forge was on fire, hot. He took off his shirt and pulled the bellows quickly and forcefully. The fire burned vigorously, reflecting the profile of his face and the solid muscles on his body. The lines of his arms were contorted by the force, and sweat was sprinkled on them.
Su Xiaopei was a little sleepy, staring at the naked body of his upper body in a daze. She thought of the village girl who was killed, the murderer was so cruel. She didn't dare to clarify her suspicions with Du Chengming today, she didn't dare to question him, because she had no evidence, she couldn't do anything to him, and he would kill more people to rectify her, she couldn't bear this, she hoped Her helplessness would make him temporarily satisfied. She will think of a way, there will always be a way.
"Xiao Pei." She suddenly heard Ran Feize calling her, and only then did she realize that he had come over.
"You keep staring at me, and I won't blush."
Ah, what does this mean? Su Xiaopei came back to his senses and looked at him seriously, she was in good shape, and then she blushed.
He handed her a thick handkerchief, and she took it, dazed. He brought his body closer, the sweat on his body was too conspicuous, she understood, reached out to help him wipe it, and was a little worried: "It's quite cold at night, will you catch a cold?"
"Not if you keep staring at me."
Su Xiaopei thought for a while, and felt that there seemed to be a deep meaning in what she said, but she couldn't turn her head around now, her eyes were full of his muscles, and her brain became flesh-colored.
"It's done." She felt that her face was hot, but she wouldn't catch a cold, it was dead hot. I want to push him away.
But he didn't seem to understand her hint, and instead got closer. With her face almost against hers, she subconsciously backed away until the back of her head was against the wall.
"Someone is watching us in the dark," he whispered close to her.
"Really? Where?" She was so nervous that she could feel the heat on him through the blanket.
"I told you that you couldn't see it. Besides, looking around will arouse the suspicion of the other party."
"who is it?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's from other Jianghu sects. Not everyone believes and supports your words. There are people who say that you are a demon girl. Or maybe it's Cheng Jiangyi, the murderer behind the scenes."
"Then, then, what should I do?" Su Xiaopei didn't know which side to be nervous about. He was so close to her that her heart beat too fast.
"If he wants to deal with you, he will definitely want to deal with people close to you."
"No." She didn't want anything to happen to him, she would rather she died and then came back and died, and she didn't want anything to happen to him.
"It's better than killing other innocent people. I have the ability and I'm not afraid of them." He was still saying.
Su Xiaopei was a little dizzy and didn't understand the meaning of his words.
"No." She said again subconsciously.
"Let's get close to him," he said, and leaned in again, slowly, so slowly that she almost couldn't breathe.
"Do not."
"Then push me away." He said, but still approached her very slowly.
Push him away? Push him away! But her face was burning hot, her heart wouldn't beat, her mind was spinning, he lied to her? real? lied to her? tease her? Want to see her make a fool of herself? Make fun of her? Push him away? push
She didn't move at all, and then his lips touched hers.
