This is a small city named Guicheng.
After dawn, the city gate opened, and the three of them entered the city, heading to the inn first.
They walked all the way, observing the surroundings all the way.
It seems that there are often people from the rivers and lakes in the city, and the people don't have much reaction to Shen Zheyan who is holding the sword, but the people who come and go look at the gentleman's book a few more times.
The gentleman who was very interested in the surroundings looked left and right, and felt that this place was no different from other cities. The people seemed very stable and peaceful, and no one showed nervous or panic expressions.
Shen Zheyan also discovered that there must be more than one thing like yesterday. In other words, there must be more than one dead person, but the expressions of the people in this city are very relaxed, as if they don’t feel anything, this city also It's not a big deal. If you lose one or two people, someone will know it. That's a bit strange.
Junzishu asked the way and came to the biggest inn in the city. He said it was the largest, and it was not enough compared to Jinling.
Shen Zheyan asked for three upper rooms. This time the room is enough. Jun Zi Shu does not need to be in the same room with Shen Zhe Yan Ji. Jun Zi Shu is a bit melancholy.
"The shopkeeper, you don't seem to be right with the money."
Wei Zinan looked around and felt something was wrong.
"Our shop's rules are to halve beauties, don't you?"
The shopkeeper was a young man with a very refined temperament. He fiddled with the abacus, smiled, and gave Jun Zi Shu a wink. Jun Zi Shu looked at him with a smile, this man was a bit interesting.
"Can this happen?"
Is there such an operation
"That's it."
This is the operation.
"Thank you, the shopkeeper, let's go upstairs."
Jun Zishu took the sign given by the shopkeeper and chose the one next to Shen Zheyan.
The three people first gathered in Shen Zheyan's room to discuss the next plan.
"Let's get the news first. Yesterday the man said something like don't blame him, but blame the master, indicating that the mastermind should be someone with a high authority and a certain identity in this city."
Shen Zheyan analyzed, and the other two nodded in agreement.
"Separately find out about any powerful people in this city. Regardless of the good or bad reviews, ask if there are any missing. In short, the more information you get, the better. It's best not to rush."
"good."
The gentleman walks randomly in this city, and his red dress is particularly obvious among the crowd.
She sat at a wonton stall and ordered a bowl of wonton.
The lady selling wontons saw a pretty little girl, she took a rag and cleaned up the bowl before the gentleman wrote, and wiped the table twice more.
"The girl is looking at the face student, is it from outside?"
"Yes."
"Coming down from Jinling, going to Weishui?"
The aunt asked while putting wontons in the pot.
"Madam, how do you know?"
Jun Zi Shu made a surprised look, looking a little dazed.
"Because there are too many people like this, and foreigners come and go, basically in this direction. The location of my wonton stall is inconspicuous, but there are also a lot of customers."
The aunt picked up the cooked wontons, put them in a big white bowl, and placed them in front of Junzi Shu. The white wonton wrappers were wrapped in meat, and the emerald green onions made them look appetizing. move.
"Madam, are you from this city?"
"Yeah, I have always lived here."
"Oh oh."
Jun Zi Shu scooped up a wonton with a spoon, blew it, and took a careful bite.
"what about the taste?"
"good to eat."
Jun Zi Shu gave a thumbs up and gave a good comment.
"That is, my stall has been set up for more than ten years, and all the people who have eaten are said to be good. When many people come back, they come to me to eat."
Jun Zishu smiled and nodded, and continued to sip the wontons.
"By the way, Madam, I want to ask, is there anything fun here?"
"Fun? That's not it. Our place is not big, and it's fast. It takes less than half a day to finish our place. Most people come and go to rest for a while, and don't make more stops. , So our place seems to be crowded with people coming and going, but the people who stay here all the time, there are just so many people, we are all clear in our hearts."
The aunt shook her head, and revealed a lot of information that Jun Zishu wanted.
"Well, I'm still going to stay here for a few days."
"The girl is going to stay here for a few days? There is nothing to be treated here. Why don't you set off to Weishui earlier?"
"That's right, but I have to wait for someone here, so I have to stay for a few days. You should be no bad guys, right?"
Jun Zishu made an expression that was a little bit scary, which caused the aunt to laugh.
"Little girl, just relax, we don't have any bad guys here, and the law and order are very good."
"Yes?"
"Yes."
The aunty replied affirmatively, as if he was laughing at Junzishu and had been worrying too much.
Junzishu finished the wontons and gave money, and left this alley.
Just now the lady said that there are a lot of people coming and going, but not many regular residents. Everyone knows who it is. She also said that the law and order here is very good. If what she said is true, then the one from last night The corpse and those buried earlier are probably not the people in this city. To be precise, they are not the people who live permanently in this city. They may be travelers who come and go here to rest.
This is equivalent to the transfer station of Jinling and Weishui. Many people pass by here every day, traffickers, caravans, people from the rivers and lakes, scholars rushing to take the exam, there are both the poor and the rich, and one or two inconspicuous people disappear, and no one will disappear. knowledge.
Gentleman thought as he walked down the street, a little absent-minded, and then he immediately turned around, feeling that he had been hit.
[Host, your money was stolen, it's a child. 】
I found it.
Where is the law and order here? It really is.
Jun Zishu chased that person, walking around among the crowd, Xiao Huaxian had always locked that person's position, she was not afraid to follow him.
Jun Zishu got rid of the crowd and followed to the backyard of a house, Xiao Huaxian said that people were inside.
The gentleman was thinking about whether he should go in.
After thinking for a few seconds, Jun Zishu flipped into the yard lightly, held his breath, and stuck it to the window.
There was more than one person inside, two people were talking.
"Little Stone, are you sure you are a very beautiful girl?"
The voice of a young man came out from inside, with a sense of surprise.
"This time I swear that I am really a very beautiful girl. I have observed her for a long time. She is wearing a red dress, but she is beautiful. You must like it."
"You're finally reliable once, give me the moneybag."
"give."
"Where is she?"
"I took it from Sijiaokou. She should still be there, if she finds out that she has lost her purse."
"Row."
Meng Lingxiao opened the door with the purse, and stared at the gentleman who stood not far away and looked at him.
"Little rocks."
"What are you doing, people haven't finished their food yet."
There was a little dissatisfaction in the voice of the little boy.
"Is the owner of this purse you talking about a pretty little girl in a red dress?"
"Yes."
"Long white, with a hairpin on his head, and a small black mole on the corner of his eye?"
"Maybe, but I didn't see it so carefully."
"You come out."
Meng Lingxiao swallowed and recruited the small rocks in the house.
"Is it her?"
"Yes, yes, that's..."
Xiao Shitou suddenly realized something was wrong, took a step back, and shrank behind Meng Lingxiao.
The atmosphere was so embarrassing, Meng Lingxiao looked at the girl who was smiling at them, and raised the money bag in her hand.
"Well, girl, my kid is not sensible. I just taught him, and I am going to take this back to you."
Meng Lingxiao laughed awkwardly, handed the money bag over, and turned his eyes around Junzishu, she was indeed a pretty girl.
"I heard what you said just now."
This is probably a trick to seduce a girl. The child looked at the target and touched the purse, then gave the young man, and the young man took the purse to strike up a conversation in style. Jun Zishu imagined the scene and added the one in front of him. Eighty percent of girls will be moved by the handsomeness of the youth, except for her of course.
"Hahaha is actually a misunderstanding."
Meng Lingxiao scratched his head, not knowing how to explain it.
"How did you get here?"
Little Stone hides behind Meng Lingxiao, his expression looks like he has seen a ghost. He is so fast, and he walks on winding paths. People who are not familiar with this place can't follow him at all. He is sure he is. This is the first time I saw this person in Guicheng.
"I followed you here."
In fact, it is the credit of Xiaohuaxian GPS.
"Girl, I'm so sorry. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, but the explanation is not clear, so I won't explain it at all. If there is nothing wrong, we will leave first, and see you later."
Meng Lingxiao held Little Stone by the hand and wanted to slip. This girl was obviously very high in martial arts. Wouldn't she be beaten if she stayed here
"Something, wait a minute."
"Girl, please."
Meng Lingxiao pretended to be serious and turned to face the gentleman's book.
"I want to ask you about something."
"Just ask, I know many things about Guicheng, what does the girl want to hear?"
Meng Lingxiao patted her chest and said confidently.
"Do you know, who is missing in this city?"
"Missing? No, I haven't heard of it."
Meng Lingxiao shook his head and waved his hand, but Little Stone was hesitant to speak.
"really do not know?"
"I don't know, we are very safe here, where will anyone go missing."
"Missing, does it mean that you suddenly disappeared?"
Little Stone asked.
"Yes, what do you know?"
Jun Zishu leaned down and looked at the little stone.
"Many days ago, I can’t remember which night it was. I went to deliver my things and came back. I saw someone walking into the bamboo forest and never came out again. I was curious to ran in to see that there was no one inside, he It just disappeared."
Little Stone said as if recalling, he was knocked on his head by Meng Lingxiao.
"Why don't you tell me?"
"I thought it was hell, I said hell you must laugh at me, I won't tell you!"
