At that time, the sun had not yet risen in the east, the sky was dark, and a candle-lit lantern suddenly appeared on the deserted stone street.
Li Changtian followed Yan Shu who was carrying the lamp, and couldn't help but think that this person was hard enough to find physical evidence, and immediately got up to look for it, without hesitation, he didn't even sleep.
After the two came to the alley where the incident happened, Li Changtian found a place based on his memory, and pointed to the ditch beside him: "It should be here."
Saying that, Li Changtian was about to lean over to dig out the ditch, but Yan Shu stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Huh?" Li Changtian looked at Yan Shu suspiciously.
"I'll come." Yan Shu said.
"It's okay, dirty, I'll do it." Li Changtian continued to bend down on his own. Probably because he was a soldier, Li Changtian always had a desire to protect others in his bones, and he was used to rushing to the front in everything.
Yan Shu strangled Li Changtian's waist with one hand, and straightened his body: "Your hand is hurt."
After finishing speaking, Yan Shu squatted halfway in front of the ditch, frowning for a while while groping.
"This... just... okay." Li Changtian scratched his head at a loss, feeling a burst of warmth in his heart.
Yan Shu touched it for a long time, but kept silent, which made Li Changtian a little nervous.
Early in the morning, people were woken up before dawn, and people were asked to touch the gutter. If they didn't find anything, wouldn't it be embarrassing to death
When Li Changtian was flustered, Yan Shu paused suddenly, then stood up.
"Is there?" Li Changtian asked quickly.
Yan Shu nodded, opened his hand and showed it to Li Changtian. In his palm lay a fish-shaped jade pendant quietly.
Li Changtian snapped his fingers happily: "That's great!" He suddenly saw that Yan Shu's hands were covered with dirty water, so he quickly picked up his sleeve and wiped Yan Shu's hands.
Yan Shu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It doesn't matter."
"Go back, go back and clean it up." Li Changtian was in a good mood.
"En." Yan Shu nodded, put away the jade pendant, and walked towards the county magistrate's mansion with Li Changtian.
The rooster crowed three times, and the sky gradually dawned. The two of them passed by a market, where many small vendors were setting up stalls, selling eggs, green vegetables, and pasta wontons, full of the atmosphere of the market.
"What are your plans now?" Li Changtian asked Yan Shu.
Yan Shu said, "Ask the county magistrate."
Li Changtian nodded: "Oh yes! The county magistrate may recognize that jade..."
Just as Li Changtian finished speaking, someone suddenly shouted in front of him: "It really is you?! How did you escape?"
"Um?"
Just as Li Changtian looked up, an egg slammed into his head, and the egg liquid and shell immediately covered his head.
When the incident happened suddenly, Yan Shu was also stunned.
An egg vendor stood in front of them and glared at Li Changtian: "You bastard who killed the second girl of the Su family! Aren't you locked in prison? How did you get out!!"
"I..." Li Changtian was about to speak when the peddler smashed a few more eggs.
Yan Shu frowned, and hurried forward to stop him.
The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of others. Many people recognized Li Changtian and threw vegetables and stones one after another. A butcher came over with a knife.
"What a beast!"
"The second girl of the Su family is a good girl, spit! Damn, you are a bitch."
"The mother of the Su family is blind from crying!"
There was a lot of cursing, Yan Shu spoke up and spoke for Li Changtian: "It's not him."
"What isn't he!!" The egg vendor said loudly, "That night, I saw him molesting the second girl of the Su family with my own eyes. Who is it! Is it an accomplice!!"
The egg seller became more and more angry, and threw the egg in his hand at Yan Shu.
Li Changtian quickly turned sideways to block the egg for Yan Shu.
The egg hit Li Changtian's forehead, and the egg white flowed down, blinding his eyes. Li Changtian reached out to wipe off the egg white, and suddenly ran away!
A group of people were stunned, and then some shouted and chased after them.
Yan Shu was also taken aback for a moment, and hastily followed.
The county magistrate's mansion is not far from the market, Li Changtian ran wildly, and ran to the gate of the county magistrate's mansion in a short while, at the same time, Yan Shu jumped a few steps and landed in front of Li Changtian.
Li Changtian smiled at Yan Shu, and suddenly flopped, lay down on the ground, and moved to Yan Shu's feet, wailing: "Oh, you caught me, oh, my lord, be merciful."
Yan Shu: "..."
At this moment, the people who were chasing after seeing this situation were also stunned and looked at each other in blank dismay.
"What's the noise!"
Hearing the noise at the door, the county magistrate couldn't sit still, he hurried out, and when he saw Yan Shu, he hurriedly saluted first: "My lord."
"Master County Magistrate, isn't this bastard imprisoned in the yamen? Why did he get out?" Someone pointed at Li Changtian and asked loudly.
"This is Lord Inspector. The prisoner is under his care recently. Don't worry." The county magistrate reassured the people, "It's all gone, let's go quickly."
Yan Shu opened his mouth to say something, but Li Changtian who was lying on the ground suddenly patted him lightly.
Yan Shu looked down and saw Li Changtian shook his head slightly.
Under the appeasement of the county magistrate, the people dispersed one after another.
Li Changtian stood up, folded his wrists, held them in front of Yan Shu, and said with a smile, "Please, Mr. Inspector, take me back."
