Later, Ran Feize came to pick Su Xiaopei home for dinner. After Su Xiaopei returned, he told him about the conversation between her and Liu Xiang. Hearing that, Ran Feize frowned: "Have you guessed everything right?"
"I call this an educated inference."
"Just because the flowers in the house in Pingzhou City are the same as those on the tomb? Just because the flowers on the tomb are newly planted, it should be Liu Xiang who visited Luo Linger on the first day after returning with us? Just because of you After chatting with the people in Changfu, and looking at the file again, did you infer that?"
"In addition to the understanding and analysis of Liu Xiang and Du Chengming." Su Xiaopei felt that this was not a big deal. In my hometown, a colleague of Gao Ming could even infer what kind of clothes he would wear when the criminal was arrested. When I talked to Liu Xiang, his performance and reaction helped me to refine the whole thing step by step. "
Ran Feize's brows were still wrinkled.
"He's not a reckless person, he just wants to kill you and me quietly, and won't do anything indiscriminately." Su Xiaopei looked at Ran Feize's brows and his hands were itching, and wanted to rub it for him, "You don't want to. Such a stinky face."
"Obviously said to do it step by step slowly | things, you are pushing him so anxiously today, what if things go beyond your expectations, what should you do? People are unpredictable, Xiaopei, don't think about yourself. can be inferred.”
"I didn't." Su Xiaopei muttered, defending himself: "I'm not so conceited either. He came to inquire today, which is a good opportunity. I also found him, and I said that Luo Linger killed me. , and even said that the fellow villagers need a case involving you, so alluding to Du Chengming, he did not respond, Luo Linger's death had a great impact on him. I was thinking, if these details are confirmed, For the analysis of him, it is also beneficial to have an evolutionary understanding and analysis of Du Chengming. It is a rare opportunity. He may not necessarily come to test me. If he does not come, then I will not have the opportunity to confirm these..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled into his arms by Ran Feize. Su Xiaopei choked, knowing that he was worried about himself, he stretched out his arms and hugged his waist, resting his head on his chest, and said, "You can feel at ease after you confirm it. Besides, there are many people in the room, so he doesn't dare to do anything. He won't take risks indiscriminately, the risk of doing things in the government office is too great, and he can't afford it."
Ran Feize was still a little unhappy after thinking about it, pinched her face, and suddenly asked, "You said that Luo Linger caused Du Chengming to be unhappy because he killed you, so he was killed?"
"Yes. Du Chengming's desire to control is too strong. He can't accept that his people are disobedient. Once he loses control, he will be destroyed."
"And by killing chickens to show the monkeys, you can also use Luo Linger's affairs to approach us and have a relationship with us." Ran Feize said: "He really doesn't waste it." He paused for a while, then said: "Then Liu Xiang If he wants to kill you, how can Du Chengming agree? He's not the time to scare you and be happy."
"Yes, so Liu Xiang has to hide everyone, including Du Chengming, and he has to make me die as if I had been in an accident, not killed."
Died in an accident? Ran Feize narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Strong man, I'm hungry." After the words were clear, he quickly filled his stomach and had to continue to work in the afternoon. Only when she went to work and was safe in the government office could Ran Feize get out and arrange everything.
"I really don't want to feed you."
As if what he said was true, Su Xiaopei gave him a blank look.
Later, the two were eating when Bai Yulang came to report. "Uncle Ran, there is something strange. I stared at it for a long time, but I didn't see anyone going to Brother Xiang's house to get the letter, but he came back later and burned the letter."
"Burned?"
"Yeah." Bai Yulang nodded. "It was indeed burnt. I smelled some cigarette smoke in the room, and then saw that there were scraps of paper in the garbage basket at the back of the room. When he left, I went to his room and peeked, and the letter in the secret compartment was gone. ."
Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei looked at each other, and it seemed that they were in a hurry. Liu Xiang did not plan to report Su Xiaopei's speculation to Du Chengming, so that his thoughts and grievances would not be known by Du Chengming. He could be less suspicious.
"How has the furnishings at his doors and windows changed?"
"He put the pen holder on the table in front of the window. It didn't exist before." Bai Yulang said, "Uncle Ran, you're right, they must have a secret signal to indicate whether they have a letter to send. I guess that's what the pen holder means. When the pen holder is gone, I will touch|touch|his secret cell." He thought for a while, and then said: "I will also see if other people have these doorways in their houses. Since they are accomplices, the passwords should be poor. Don't leave. Ah, by the way, I saw two small piles of paper ashes in the basket at the back of the house, and one pile was scattered, I think it was burned before. "
"The other party left him a letter. He burned it after reading it?"
Bai Yulang nodded vigorously: "I think so."
Ran Feize glanced at Su Xiaopei: "It seems that Du Chengming has instructions."
"He must still want to continue the case. If the case is not solved, the whole city panics, and he will be more and more proud."
"Let me handle this." Bai Yulang volunteered for orders, "I went to tell Lord Fu Yin and Lord Qin that when the eldest sister disappeared, she received that strange letter here, and then the eldest sister received that kind of letter in Wuzhen. Xin, two people died one after another. Now that the eldest sister has come back and continues to be a master, I am afraid that the murderer will not give up and will still chase after him. The adults should issue a public letter to warn the people of the city to pay attention, and if they see any suspicious people, report them as soon as possible."
"Okay, this is reasonable, and the sixth son went to the adults to say that it would be more appropriate." Ran Feize also wanted to do this, but he wanted to praise him seriously: "The sixth son is indeed smart, and he thought of going ahead of us."
This praise Bai Yulang was very useful, hehe smiled. "Then I'll go back quickly. There are a lot of things to do. Uncle Ran, don't worry, I'll do it for sure."
"Don't be in a hurry, have you eaten yet? Stay and eat before leaving."
"No, no, the food cooked by Uncle Ran is not as good as the one made by the government office. I'll go back and eat it. They will definitely keep it for me. Uncle Ran, eldest sister, I'm leaving." After Bai Yulang finished speaking, he ran away.
Ran Feize was stunned for a while, and said with hatred, "Stinky boy." Dare to dislike the food he cooks is not delicious? Is it that bad? If it's not delicious, why is his girl eating so happily? If it's not delicious, he's not raising his girl well, and she's not sick or painful. Humph, and in front of his girl, he disliked the food he made was not delicious.
hatred!
"Don't be annoyed, strong man." Su Xiaopei comforted seriously, "If you hold your breath, this meal will be even more unpalatable."
Even
With an unhappy expression on his face, Ran Feize brought Su Xiaopei a lot of dishes, and the bowls were piled up.
Su Xiaopei stared at the bowl, touched his stomach, and changed the subject: "Liu Xiang knows that I suspect him, so he will definitely be wary of the sixth."
"Yeah. The sixth child knows." Ran Feize glared at the rice bowl and pointed with his chin. Su Xiaopei sighed, picked up his chopsticks and took a sip.
"Even if Liu Xiang is suspicious, he doesn't dare to make a mistake. After all, he and Lao Liu are in the yamen, and Lao Liu is the sixth son of Baijiazhuang. If he moves Lao Liu, he will have endless troubles. He will approach Lao Liu and use He came to inquire about you, and his target is you."
"The strong man is really smart." Su Xiaopei praised with a smile.
"I'm not the sixth, so I don't eat this."
Don't eat this? Change it.
Su Xiaopei held the bowl and moved him to his side: "Aze, this meal is too much, and people will have stomach pains after eating too much. Can I give you a little bit?"
"People?"
"Slave."
"Which one?"
Su Xiaopei stopped talking. According to this trend, it is estimated that if she said that the strong family or Ran's family or your family or Aze's family would suit him, but she couldn't tell.
Ran Feize looked at her, and she looked back. They said yes, obviously they already said yes.
Ran Feize stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some dishes from her bowl, and said in a low voice, "When Du Chengming is resolved, if you haven't left yet, let's get married."
"Well, it probably won't take long." If Cheng Jiangyi was dealt with, how could she still stay here.
"As long as it takes." Ran Feize plucked the dishes in the bowl, "I open myself up every day, people are born, old, sick and die."
Su Xiaopei's heart was sour, and he took back the order from Ran Feize's bowl and gave it to himself, "I'll eat more." After one meal, there will be less meal. She wakes up every day and thinks, it's good, she is still by the strong man's side .
This topic did not continue. Su Xiaopei didn't agree, but he didn't refuse, and Ran Feize felt a little happy when he thought of it. In the afternoon, he sent Su Xiaopei to work in the government office, handed Su Xiaopei over to the masters to take care of him, and went out by himself.
For several days, Ran Feize did things like this, sending Su Xiaopei away, and then going to work on his own. He found some friends and followed up and adjusted the previous arrangements. He noticed that someone was following him, and sometimes he would let them follow him on purpose. For some things, he hoped they could bring them back to report. On the other hand, Lou Lidong had already arranged Well, the thieves gang followed those people for him. Ran Feize knows that God counts the door. Lou Lidong knew better. The fortune-teller who can fool people's hearts will have a contest with the thieves who come and go without a trace.
In the past few days, Ran Feize has also found some Taoist priests and monks to inquire about the spells and necessary items for exorcising demons. Liu Xiang thought that Su Xiaopei was a demon girl, and he had seen Su Xiaopei come back to life, so if he wanted to kill her, he would not use ordinary methods. Ran Feize hopes to infer the means he will use in advance, so as to prevent it in advance.
That day|He went to the outskirts of the city to visit, and happened to pass by a Yuelao Temple. He stood outside the temple for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back and went in. The incense in the temple is good, and many girls are kneeling and praying for fate. When a tall and strong man like Ran Feize came in, many people looked at him, and even Miaozhu glanced at him several times.
Ran Feize ignored their gazes and only looked up at the statue of Yue Lao in the temple. He never believed in these things before, he didn't worship Buddha or recite sutras, he felt that everything in this world depended on himself, and the talk of gods, gods, and ghosts were all nonsense. But he met a girl.
I wish she could really be his girl.
Ran Feize stepped forward, plopped, and knelt down on the futon. The two little girls next to them who were seeking marriage were so frightened that they quickly got up, no way, did this man worship the wrong god
Ran Feize raised his head to look at the statue of Yue Lao again, and respectfully kowtowed three times. Yue Lao, Yue Lao, since you sent her to me, you allowed her to be by my side all the time. I will definitely treat her well.
The third head knocked down, and he lay there still. Yue Lao didn't reply, and of course it was impossible to reply. He was just an image, but Ran Feize felt sad for some reason. He seemed to sense that someone was replying to him. To be precise, it was not a reply, but a sigh. Ran Feize didn't move, he used his ear to listen carefully, no one answered or sighed, but he was suddenly enveloped in that powerlessness and depression. Is he not confident? Is he himself pessimistic? It can't be like this, he is not reconciled!
"I've only knelt down on my parents and master in my life, and now I'm on your knees again." He said to Yue Lao in his heart, "If you really are here, you will definitely feel my sincerity. I only ask for one thing, but only one thing. ." In his mind, there was Su Xiaopei's sweet smile at him, and the "strong man" she called him, just asking her to be by his side. He said another word in silence, and finally raised his head.
"Strong man." Someone called him, his voice was soft and sweet, Ran Feize turned his head to look, it was two pretty little girls, standing aside and looking at him. He stood up, much higher than them, saluted, and was ready to go.
"Strong man." The little girl who called him called again, shyly replied, and pointed to the table at the other end of the temple. "The strong man asks for marriage, so he can give some incense money and ask for a red thread, which is more effective."
is that so? Ran Feize nodded and thanked him and strode towards the table. He didn't care that a man of his age came to such a place to ask for a red thread. , "A red line is required."
Miaozhu was taken aback. It turned out that this was really not here to make trouble, but to seek marriage? "This, do you want to draw a lot to count a fortune?"
"No." He was afraid that if he didn't sign the hexagram, he would beat people up if he didn't have a guitar, so he would just go home and tie the girl with a red line.
Miaozhu dare not be different, and quickly take the red line. The red thread was wrapped in red paper and quickly handed to Ran Feize. Ran Feize took it, stuffed it into the inner pocket of his chest, and said to the temple, "It's best if it works."
What if it doesn't work, strong man? Miaozhu dared not ask. Seeing Ran Feize striding out, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The two little girls ran after Ran Feize, but unfortunately Ran Feize walked too fast. The girl who wanted to hand him a handkerchief finally didn't catch up. The girl on the side said she "I just told you to hurry up, I missed it", then The girl sighed. "Forget it, forget it." The girl comforted again, "He is so old, if he doesn't have a marriage, he must be either poor or sick. How can a man come to the Yuelao Temple, right?"
Ran Feize also thought on the way, how can a man go to Yuelao Temple? Just now, he didn't feel ashamed when he worshipped inside, but now he was thinking about how to give the red thread to the girl. But I really want to tie her up.
Ugh.
When Ran Feize was worried about this problem, Su Xiaopei encountered a trouble.
A teahouse worker who claimed to be surnamed Shi went to the yamen to report the crime, saying that he was coerced with a knife and asked him to report the crime. A little girl who lived in a yellow mud house in the east of the city was kidnapped. The female master in the government office decided the case within five days. If the robber could not be caught, the robber would kill the little girl.
The official asked him what the little girl's name was and when she was kidnapped. She had seen it, but if she had any clues, the man said he didn't know. He said he didn't even know if there were any yellow mud houses in the east of the city. He didn't know anything. do not know. I only know today | When he was working in the teahouse, and when he went to the back alley to move the sundries, someone threatened him with a knife and threw him a half-cut dress, saying that if he did not come to the government to report the case, he would be killed . He was so frightened that he came with the half of the dress in his arms.
Su Xiaopei heard the report, and rushed over with Lord Fu Yin and Qin Dezheng. This thing really hangs.
She asked the guy surnamed Shi what kind of person was threatening him. He said he couldn't remember. Because he was holding the basket and turned his head, the knife was in front of him. He didn't dare to lift his head. Notice the knife.
When I asked the man what else he said, the guy shook his head again and said that he couldn't remember the rest, but the man asked him to tell the details of the report several times, and he was right when he said it. Those contents, he couldn't remember what the man said. He couldn't even remember the thickness of the man's voice.
Qin Dezheng became furious when he heard this, and drank suddenly, "Is that person a man or a woman?"
The guy was stunned for a moment, crying and shouting: "Little, Little originally thought he was a man, but when the adults said that, Little, Little is not sure. Little did not dare to look up, then When I was young, I thought I was going to die, and I was so scared that I lost my soul, how could I have noticed anything else."
The governor frowned, and after discussing with Qin Dezheng and Su Xiaopei, he decided to detain the guy first, and then let the arresters go to the room to see if any girl was really robbed. After the case is determined, we will try again.
Hearing what the governor said, the guy cried and cried, "Little guy is wronged, little guy is wronged, little guy doesn't know anything, little guy is indeed coerced to report the crime, why is he detaining the villain, the villain is unjustly wronged? ."
Su Xiaopei planned to go to the room with the catching guys to take a look. Since she pointed out the surname and asked her to check, there must be a doorway here. Bai Yulang rushed over after hearing this and wanted to go with her. While Su Xiaopei was waiting for the carriage at the door, she suddenly had an epiphany. She ran back to the yali and stopped the guy who was being escorted away. She asked him, "Is your name Shi Rui?"
The guy opened his mouth wide: "Girl, how did the girl know?"
Su Xiaopei's heart sank, he came, so fast.
Three, the third.
