In the early morning of the next day, Qi Nula was awakened by the noise outside the window. The girl got up from the bed and rubbed her eyes.
"Wu Yu, what's wrong outside?"
Wu Yu got up early, and when the noise outside was naturally heard too much, he was just worried that Qi Niao would not wake up from sleep, and before opening the window, he planned to make the girl sleep better in the cloth barrier, so Qi Niao just woke up.
"Something happened on Yiqiao, right?"
A woman in a black gauze skirt walked towards the small carved ebony window, and when she opened it, a wind full of water vapor came in.
Qi Niaoyu followed Wuyu to the window, and saw that the Yiqiao Bridge outside was full of people. Several clusters of black human heads gathered together to form an encircling circle, and inside that circle, there seemed to be one lying upright. Men, there were two or three people standing nearby.
"Let's go down and take a look."
At this moment, the enchanting back of a woman in red appeared in her mind, and she felt cold in her heart inexplicably.
When Niao Niao and Wu Yu rushed to Yiqiao, the crowd onlookers became more and more crowded, and they couldn't get a glimpse of what they looked like inside.
"Wuyu."
Qi Niaoxiu felt that he was unwilling to have too much physical contact with the people next to him, pushing and shoving. After all, if she was squeezed out, she could not guarantee that she would not flood the people on the bridge with a water trick.
"Ok."
Wu Yu and Curly got along for a long time. The girl knew what to do next with a look in her eyes, and the teleporting spell came to the middle of the circle. Everyone was busy watching the excitement, and no one cared how to appear out of thin air for a while. After two people, they are still discussing carefully.
"Tsk tusk tusk, why can't you think about it so much, and committed suicide."
It was a thin man who was talking, and looking at his dress, he should be curled up with the little guy in the inn where they were staying.
"Oh, how many are these? I remember that last month, two of them jumped into the river and died!"
Aunt Wang, who was still wearing a cloth apron, nodded her toes, looked at her eyes carefully, and shook her head.
"Hey, Aunt Wang, this person looks familiar, I think about it, ah, yes, isn't this the person who came to your steamed bun shop a few days ago to pick out thorns!"
Another slightly taller man stared at the corpse that was soaked in the river water so that he was so white that he looked at it for a long time, then turned his head and looked at Aunt Wang, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
"When you said that, I remembered that this person bought a few white steamed buns last time. When he tasted the taste, he said that my steamed buns are sour, woody and hard, and not soft at all. They are like Gu Liguo's dried naan. It's unpalatable, and I cheated away two meat buns!"
The Aunt Wang thought about it carefully at this time and found that she did have the impression of this person. The face full of sympathy and pity just now suddenly changed to annoyance and disdain. When she looked at the breathless man who fell on the ground, The expression in his eyes was a hint of schadenfreude.
Everyone’s discussion became louder and louder, and after a while, a strong male voice came.
"It's all quiet!"
Suddenly there was silence on Yiqiao, and several pairs of eyes were staring at the man with majestic face at the same time, while Qi Xiuyi had just paid attention to the conversation of the people around him, and now he turned his attention to the man who spoke.
But I see the speaker, who is about 30 years old, wearing an ocher-colored official uniform, wearing a dagger at the waist, thick black eyebrows, bright eyes, high nose and wide lips, and he looks very majestic and majestic, plus a back. It's straight, and the whole body makes people unable to move their eyes.
"The government has its own decision on this matter. Don't try to figure it out, it's all gone!"
The man’s voice sank a little, he waved his hand to call a few officials to fend off the curious people, then turned his eyes to look at the corpse who had just checked the body.
"Old Huang, how can you be sure that you committed suicide?"
"Li Yu, there is no trace of struggle on this person, but there is no doubt that he fell into the water and committed suicide. As for whether he fell into the water or was intentional by others, the old man has to take the person back to the mansion for further autopsy."
The talking old man shook his head slightly at the man, indicating that he could not make a judgment.
"Really, is it suicide again?"
The man frowned and muttered to himself, before he let out a long sigh.
"Take it home!"
Several officials who had been waiting for a long time came up and carried the body back.
The surrounding people immediately let out their debut, watching Li Shouye leave with admiration, but curled up looking at the man's back for a long time.
"What kind of status is the arrester Li, who made the people quiet with just one sound?"
Qi Niao Niao originally intended to ask Wu Yu, but who knew it was a familiar young boy's tone.
"Ha! Sister Curly, that is Li Kuan, the arrest officer in this small county has a very serious temper, and the people trust him very much."
Wei Heng didn't know when he leaned over to curl up and spoke to the girl's ear.
"Well, I can see it."
Cursing his eyebrows, he stretched out his hand to push the boy's face away,
"What's wrong with you lately, always sticking to me like a child?"
Qi Qi curled up to the front, leaving the boy behind.
"Hey, Sister Curly, wait for me, where are you going?"
"Me? Go to the government office to see."
The talking girl's skirt swayed, showing a beautiful curve of flowers. With a blink of her eyes, the stunned Yin Li suddenly understood the meaning of curling, and immediately followed her with a flick of her sleeves.
What Qi Niaoyu told Wei Heng was that the woman in red that I saw last night may have something to do with the death of the person who fell into the water. This is indeed possible when the youngster thinks about it carefully. In addition, there is a gold medal from the imperial gift in hand, so there are few things to worry about. Think about it and follow along.
When Qi Niao and the others arrived at the official mansion, he could see a man in a black robe standing in front of the official house.
It's very beautiful, just like I've seen before.
The curly heart jumped up abruptly, and his ears burned.
"wave."
Yin Li had long known that Qi Niao would come, and walked over with a faint smile, but she didn't know that the girl was so embarrassed at this time that she was thinking about finding a place to escape.
"Um... uh... uh, why are you here?"
The girl's words ended. She didn't know where to put her eyes. She just saw the man's thin rose-colored lips when she raised her eyes, and thought of the kiss again for no reason.
what!
It's over, Qi Niao, you're over!
The girl wailed repeatedly in her heart.
"Guess something will happen."
"Oh."
The girl nodded, her heart had been turned back and forth, and she gritted her teeth and determined to face the man in front of her.
"Then let's go in together."
"it is good."
After speaking, the four of them stepped in, because Yin Li had negotiated with the people in Yamen beforehand, and an officer came to lead the way.
"Li Yu is in Yizhuang now, and the younger one will take you there."
I don't know what Yin Li and Yamen said, the attitude of the servant is very polite.
"Who is in charge of this tooth gate? It will never be the magistrate of Li County, right?"
Wei Heng saw that the guards spoke so well, so he got closer and asked some things.
"It's not true. The Li county magistrate is just naming. Basically, we are still in charge of the dental affairs."
Hearing Wei Heng asked about Li county magistrate, the officer's eyes flashed with obvious disgust, and his face became slightly awkward when he talked about Li Suye.
"Oh, see it."
Wei Heng naturally noticed the change in the officer's mood, and sighed in his heart, this county magistrate Li is really unwelcome, but this Li is also surnamed Li, so I don't know what he has to do with county magistrate Li.
When a few people arrived at Yizhuang, the atmosphere suddenly calmed down. Although the place is called Zhuang, it is actually not very big. It is just a small room behind the tooth gate. Naturally, Qi Liao and they don’t know what Yizhuang is, but it is now. Got it.
Inside the Yizhuang, the light was dim, and suddenly came in from outside, a flower was in front of him, and then a rancid moisture rushed into his face. When the eyes of the four people adjusted to it, they saw Li Kuan already standing in front of a white linen platform. .
"The arrest, the man has already been brought."
The lead officer gave Li Kuan a hand, and the latter nodded to him to leave.
The surrounding area of Yizhuang is airtight, and there are no ventilation windows, but it is a bit gloomy. When Li Kuan spoke, his voice swayed from layer to layer.
"Thank you for your help, the recent case has caused some headaches."
Li Kuan pressed his right hand to the center of his eyebrows, then raised his head and looked at Qi Niao's few people, with a touch of gentleness.
amount…
It was a little strange, Li Kuan hadn't communicated with them before, so why did he ask them all of a sudden
"Many people on Yiqiao fell into the water and committed suicide. Li's worries about arrest were not just suicide."
Yin Lili whispered in the dark, staring only at the corpses.
"Today is the eighth day of June. Counting the corpse now, it was a woman who was thrown into the river on May 15 and a man on the 20th. In March, a man was also thrown into the river and fell into the water. Too frequent."
"Thinking about it carefully, it is a bit strange, Li Yuye, Wei Heng and I saw a woman in Yiqiao last night. Before that, we heard something falling into the water."
"Oh? What kind of looks, and what are the characteristics?"
"Red clothes and red umbrellas, you can't go wrong."
Fucked his brows and spoke word by word, I heard Li Kuan talk about the recent cases of falling into the water that have frequently occurred in the county. They all happened in Yiqiao. The meaning of his eyes was even greater, and the red he saw that night appeared in his mind. The woman in clothes is endlessly enchanting, especially the red umbrella, which is even more feminine, but it looks a little weird from the curly look. The girl thinks of this, and her back is angry and chills, looking from the corpses covered with white cloth. Moved away, and ran into Yin Li all at once.
At this time, the man had been staring at the girl for a long time. He was a little panicked when he saw the girl’s eyes. The corners of his mouth were gently bent to cast a calm look. Then his thin lips opened and closed, and there was no sound, but Qi Curula understood. ,
Don't worry, I am here.
Six words, just so gentle and gentle to calm down the curled heart.
What the girl didn't know was why Yin Li knew her worries, because Lord Pluto was there last night.
The moonlight was bright, but it was a very cold white light. The girl suddenly felt chills. When she turned and returned to the inn, a pair of eyes moved away from Qi Niaoyu not far away. She stared at Yiqiao for a long time, her eyes getting deeper and deeper, too. I don't know how long it took, the man suddenly sneered, and then left. When the figure turned into a black light and shadow, the black clothes corners were rolled up by the wind, and the light on it was covered in the wind and mist.
