Brother Jin stopped struggling, and sniffled vigorously: "Then you ask."
Jiang Qingyue winked, and the yamen guards on both sides put down the arms that were restraining him.
Yan Shi asked, "Where have you been these few days?"
"This year my brother sent me to the shop to learn how to do business. Three days ago, I went out of the city with the shopkeeper to do business. As soon as I returned to the city, I heard someone say that something happened to my brother..." Speaking of which, Brother Jin became popular again Eye sockets, a few lines of clear tears flowed down.
Yan Shi sighed softly, took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the tears off Jin Ge'er's face.
Hua Ling stood aside and bit her lip, wondering what she was thinking.
Jin Geer realized that Yan Shi was wiping his tears, and was a little embarrassed, so he stopped crying for a moment. Seeing this, Yan Shi gave him the handkerchief and asked him to wipe it himself.
"Do you have any enemies with your brother?" Yan Shi asked again.
"I have no enemies. My brother is very popular. My brother will help anyone who has a big or small affair."
What Jin Geer said, Yan Shi had actually investigated it before, and it was true.
"Then what abnormal behavior has your brother been doing these days?"
Jin Geer frowned and thought for a long time: "There is no abnormal behavior, it is the same as before."
Yan Shi asked a few more small questions, but did not get any useful clues, which was expected. The same is true for the two people who disappeared before. They had no enemies and no abnormal phenomena before they died.
"Let's go, let's take a look inside." Yan Shi said, and walked in first, followed by Hua Ling.
Jin Geer's house is very small, and you can have a panoramic view of the house when you open the door. There is no furniture, only a chair, a table and a dilapidated box. The most valuable thing in the whole house is the suona.
"My father and my mother died of illness a few years ago, and it took a lot of money to treat them." Jin Geer stood at the door, watching Yan Shi and Jiang Qingyue checking inside, and said to himself, " In order to pay off the debts, my brother worked from dawn to dusk, and I couldn’t help him much when I was young. The debts I owed were finally paid off last year, and the days were getting better, but my brother... I joked with him before I left the city , Said that he would earn a lot of money to marry him a wife."
Jin Ge'er's voice choked up again when he said this, and he was about to cry again. He turned around and looked up at the sky, but still held back his tears.
After a careful inspection, Yan Shi exchanged a glance with Jiang Qingyue: "Let's go." Since we didn't find any clues, why don't we look elsewhere.
"My lord," a yamen servant outside the door cupped his hands, "I found a footprint on a tree."
There is a thick willow tree next to the gate of Jin Geer's house, and the footprints mentioned by the yamen servant were found on that tree.
"Oh?" Yan Shi looked at the tree, but he didn't notice the tree yesterday, so he seemed really careless. An artist had already drawn the footprints. Fortunately, it rained last night and the soles of the shoes were covered with mud, so the footprints were left behind.
But after all, it was on a tree, and the shoes did not touch much. After another day, the footprints did not look very clear, but judging from their shape and size, they were the footprints of a man.
When Yan Shi was watching, Hua Ling stretched her neck to watch, and Yan Shi showed it to Jiang Qingyue after seeing it.
Brother Jin also leaned over to see: "So my brother was murdered?"
Hua Ling gave him a blank look: "Otherwise, do you think he was captured by a ghost?"
"I, I didn't think about it that way!" Jin Geer choked on Hua Ling's words, and when he thought about it, he was a little annoyed, "I was a little surprised just now, my brother has no grievances with others, who would harm him?" he?"
Not to be outdone, Hua Ling said, "Then I have to ask you, did you have any vendettas outside and your brother was implicated."
"You..." Jin Ge'er was so angry that his face was flushed and he couldn't speak.
Yan Shi laughed, Jin Geer was only twelve or thirteen years old, in his opinion it was nothing more than two children bickering.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Yan Shi discussed with Jiang Qingyue and decided to have dinner first.
Hua Ling and Jin Geer exchanged a few more words, and when he finished the argument, he realized that Yan Shi had already moved forward.
"Brother! Brother, wait for me!" Hua Ling hurriedly trotted behind, and Yan Shi stopped when he heard the voice, turned around and waited for him.
Hua Ling originally wanted to plunge into his arms, but after thinking about it, she didn't dare, because she was afraid that Yan Shi would think he was too scheming, so she just grabbed his sleeve and shook it lightly: "Brother, where are we going?"
"It's almost noon, let's go eat." Yan Shi said, "Is there anything Ming Ting wants to eat?"
When Hua Ling heard that he was about to eat, he was overjoyed: "I have never eaten outside, so I will follow my brother to eat whatever he eats."
Hua Ling was already extremely beautiful, but now she was smiling brightly under the bright sun, and she looked even more beautiful, even passers-by couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
But Yan Shi only felt that he was pitiful, for a son of a nobleman as old as him, which one didn't eat and play all over the imperial city. Thinking of this, Yan Shi's sympathy for him went one step further.
"Let's go, I'll take you to eat delicious food. There is a restaurant not far from here, and the food is pretty good."
"My lord! Wait for me, my lord!" Hua Ling followed Yan Shi and didn't take a few steps when he heard Jin Ge'er shouting from behind.
Hua Ling tightly grasped Yan Shi's cuff: "Hurry up, hurry up."
But as he kept talking, Brother Jin had already caught up in the blink of an eye.
"Big, my lord." Jin Ge'er was slightly out of breath from running, "Yes, can you take me with you? I want to investigate the case with you."
Hua Ling gripped Yan Shi's sleeve even tighter, almost tearing it apart.
"Little brother, if you're not from the government, you can't investigate the case with us." After hearing Yan Shi's words, Hua Ling loosened his grip on his sleeve slightly.
"I, I just want to find out the truth as soon as possible," Jin Ge'er lowered his head slightly, "Can't I promise not to add trouble? I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Brother Jin's height has not reached Yan Shi's chest, Yan Shi rubbed his hair to comfort him: "Believe me, I will help you find out the truth as soon as possible."
Hua Ling's eyes instantly widened bigger than a copper bell, and he stepped sideways to squeeze in front of Yan Shi, shaking his head wildly as a gesture.
Such a strong sense of presence is hard to ignore, Jin Geer suddenly asked: "Then who is he?" He was not wearing official clothes, even though Jiang Qingyue was not wearing either, but Yan Shi discussed the case with him from time to time, It looked like he was here to investigate the case, only Hua Ling seemed to be here to watch the fun.
Before Yan Shi could think of what to say, Hua Ling said in a rather miraculous way: "I am the princess that my brother Mingmei is marrying."
Hua Ling's purpose was to declare sovereignty, but unexpectedly, he gave Jin Geer an excuse. Although Jin Geer is young, he has a big heart, so he immediately asked: "Then you are not in the government, why can you follow the investigation?"
