Cheng Jiangyun glanced at her faintly, and then nodded slightly after being silent for a long time. For some reason, the feeling of loss in his heart slowly faded away. What a liar, he babbled a lot without telling the truth.

Lu Pengzhi next to him suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said happily: "Brother Lin, instead of living alone and lonely outside, why not come and live with me. There are still several vacant rooms in my yard, and there are many waiters. You work hard on your own."

"Uh... no, no need..."

Lin Junnuan repeatedly refused, blinking and winking at Cheng Jiangyun with his right eye, please take care of your cousin, let him not come up with blind ideas.

Cheng Jiangyun, however, didn't seem to notice the situation around him at all. He even picked up the noodle bowl and drank the noodle soup slowly. His posture and expression were as elegant as if he was drinking some peerless wine.

There is no other way, Lin Junnuan had no choice but to make a big move by himself: "To be honest, actually... Actually, there are still people waiting at the next house, so I won't bother Mr. Lu."

At this time, Lu Pengzhi's mind was spinning quickly: "Is there someone at home? Didn't you say you went to Beijing alone? That's okay, isn't it just adding someone else, there are so many rooms, it doesn't get in the way, it doesn't get in the way!"

"Yes, she is the maid who accompanied her to the capital. She grew up together, so she just let nature take its course..." Lin Junnuan shyly gave Lu Pengzhi a "you understand" look.

"puff!"

This time, it was Cheng Shaoqing who was drinking the noodle soup gracefully beside him.But Shaoqing is Shaoqing after all, even if he was embarrassed for a moment, he could quickly calm down, without any fluctuations on his face, which made people suspect that what he saw just now was just an illusion.

"Didn't your grandfather teach you not to force others to make things difficult for you?"

Xu was trying to hide the unease in his heart, but now he opened his mouth to help Lin Junnuan. Lu Pengzhi was very well-behaved in front of his cousin, and at the same time felt Lin Junnuan's sincere rejection, so he didn't continue to invite him.

After eating, Lin Junnuan used the excuse of taking a walk to digest food, got up and quietly went to the owner of the noodle shop, and asked him to prepare a hundred steamed buns and wrap them up, and she would come back to pick them up later.

"Hey, just now that son also asked me to prepare steamed buns, and I gave them to his servant to take them away. Aren't you together?" The shopkeeper pointed in the direction of Cheng Jiangyun and asked doubtfully.

Lin Junnuan was startled, Cheng Shaoqing?What did he want steamed buns for? Could it be that, like her, he wanted to send them to those children who couldn't eat?

Although not together, but the purpose should be the same.

Lin Junnuan smiled happily: "It's my memory. Boss, go and do your work. It's fine."

Maybe this Cheng Shaoqing is not as unkind as he seems.

***

It was already evening when we left the noodle shop, and there were more and more pedestrians on both sides of the road. Cheng Jiangyun had to go back to Dali Temple for business. Lin Junnuan took a lot of verbal and verbal refusal to reject Lu Pengzhi's "good intention" to send her home, so The soldiers were divided into three groups, each of which returned to its own home.

Lin Junnuan walked halfway in the direction of Zhilan Lane in Dongshi, turned a corner and entered a narrow alley, knocked on a wooden door deep in the alley, and within a few moments, someone opened the door in response.

"Sir, you are here."

It was an elderly woman who opened the door. She was still holding a needle and thread. She was putting on the soles of her shoes when she saw Lin Junnuan coming.

"Yes, Aunt Xiao, I'm here again. Are you in good health?"

"Okay, thanks to you, it's okay."

Aunt Xiao cheerfully dragged Lin Junnuan into the house, and was busy making tea and tea, Lin Junnuan hurriedly stopped her: "Don't worry about it, I just ate. Is Ahua at home?"

Aunt Xiao rubbed her hands and sighed: "That brat slipped out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. I don't know where he is fooling around. If you delay the son's business, see if I don't interrupt his dog. leg!"

"Grandma, whose leg are you going to break? You're not young, and you're still so angry."

The outer door opened with a creak, and a man in his twenties rushed in. When he saw Lin Junnuan, his expression immediately became incomparably doggy: "Hey, son, are you here, have you eaten? Granny, Hurry up and prepare food for the young master!"

"You're the only one who is clever!" Aunt Xiao knocked the young man angrily, "I'm going out to buy vegetables, you can chat with the young master."

After Mrs. Xiao went out with the vegetable basket, the young man immediately withdrew his playful smile and stood obediently beside Lin Junnuan: "Young Master, I'm here today, what's your order?"

Lin Junnuan patted the cushion beside him and said, "Ah Hua, don't be so cautious, just sit down and talk."

Instead, the young Ahua took a step back, lowered his head and said with a stern look: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, I dare not."

Lin Junnuan sighed helplessly, this Ah Hua didn't know what was going on, originally the two of them were called brothers, and they had a very harmonious relationship, it wasn't the first day they knew she was from the Boss of Chengyi, half a year ago they suddenly started playing "respect and inferiority" There is no other" this set, it is really boring, but I don't force him anymore, and directly explained my purpose.

"The flower girl in Shapi Lane, do you know her?"

Ahua thought for a while and said: "I have heard a little bit that she was very close to Heihu and his gang. I heard that she was killed by someone a few days ago. Why did you ask her?"

Lin Junnuan took out a shoe sole from the sewing basket on the kang, shook it pretendingly like a fan, and sighed, "Young master, I am now one of the suspects who killed her."

After hearing this, A Hua immediately turned his face hard, and said angrily: "Nonsense, whoever dares to frame you, I will kill him!"

"Calm down, calm down, I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

Lin Junnuan waved his hand lazily at him, and continued, "It's no big deal. Now I'm investigating the case with the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. As long as the real culprit is caught, the suspicion will be lifted."

"I'm looking for you today because I want you to find out about Hua Niang's group, what you've done recently, and who you've been in contact with. Tomorrow, you'll send everyone out to ask, and report to me once a day. Don't miss a single clue."

"Yes!"

Lin Junnuan put the soles of the shoes into the sewing basket, got up and was about to go out, and suddenly remembered: "By the way, who is in charge at Zhilan Lane?"

"Amin brother and sister are watching."

"Tell them, if someone asks where Lin Jun lives, just find an empty room to deal with it, be smart."

Lin Junnuan raised his heels slightly, and patted Ah Hua's shoulder lightly. This guy is really tall, "I'm leaving, I'll have a good meal with your grandma tonight, don't keep yelling at her." It’s called, if you don’t have enough silver, go to the store to withdraw it, do you understand?”

"Yes." A Hua nodded obediently, "Young master, are you ready for dinner?"

"I've eaten it." Lin Junnuan shook his head helplessly, but there was a slight smile on his face: "Thanks to Cheng Shaoqing, now I can't even see meat at all. I'm afraid I have to be a vegetarian these days. Let's go." Come on, go and change your clothes, it stinks to death."

Lin Junnuan pinched his nose and waved his hands in disgust as he spoke. Before Ahua could respond, he strode out of the courtyard and left along the alley.

"Does it smell that bad?" The young Ahua raised his arm and sniffed his armpits, his expression twisted instantly, and with a wail, he quickly took off his clothes and rushed to the mouth of the well to take a shower.

The alley gradually returned to calm, and two figures leaned out from behind a big tree.

"Have you found out, who lives in this house?" Cheng Jiangyun asked the boy behind him watching chess with his hands behind his back, his face was obscured by the shadow of the big tree.

"It is roughly clear. The full name of the head of the household is Xiao Hua, and he is called A Hua. He is about 19 years old. He is originally from Yangzhou. Eight years ago, he escaped with his grandmother, Aunt Xiao, and came to the capital. They bought this house and settled down. There is no one else in the family."

"Ahua grew up with a group of hooligans since he was a child, and I don't know where he learned his kung fu. When he was 14 years old, he tidied up the gangsters in the neighborhood and became the leader of the hooligans here. Merchants and peddlers dare not provoke them easily. He also gathered the beggars and refugees around him, and arranged some errand jobs for them from time to time, and the way was quite wide."

Cheng Jiangyun said coldly: "What is the relationship between Ah Hua and Lin Jun?"

"It's not clear yet."

"If you don't know, hurry up and check!"

"Yes, yes!" Guanqi took the order, cast a grievous glance at the serious-looking master, turned and left the alley.

Cheng Jiangyun closed his eyes, rubbing his fingers subconsciously, his thoughts drifted far, far away.

Lin Jun.Mr. Xiangshan.Lin Junnuan.Miss Lin.What kind of person are you, how many faces do you have?Is your sudden appearance in front of us really a complete accident, or is it actually a long-planned conspiracy?

The man's slender figure became blurred in the gradually gloomy twilight, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

***

When Lin Junnuan rushed back to the Chengyi Mansion, the servants had just set up dinner, the uncle and his wife were sitting at the table, Lin Junnuan's younger brother, Lin Junheng, the young master of the Chengyi Mansion, seemed to have not returned yet.

There are not many masters in the uncle's house. There are only four masters, Mrs. Uncle and Mrs. Young Master. The family gets along very casually. The uncle and his wife are quite familiar with the monkey attributes of their two children, and they will not be too rigid on weekdays. They, in short, most of the time, the whole Bo mansion is filled with a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.

Today, however, there seemed to be something strange, the couple sitting at the dining table looked very serious.

This time, Lin Junnuan walked through the main entrance, tiptoed around the dining hall and was about to walk into his yard when his mother's voice came from the hall: "Stop, come in."

Lin Junnuan stuck out her tongue, walked into the hall with her head down, bowed a substandard salute to her father and mother, and then said disconsolately, "I don't know why mother keeps her daughter?"

She has been in close contact with the corpse for more than an hour today, and now she just wants to go back to the room quickly, take a fragrant and hot bath, and wash away the bad luck.

Lin Mu An asked with a straight face: "Where did you go today and what did you do? If I remember correctly, you should still be grounded now, right?"

"Uh..." Lin Junnuan shrank his neck, and said in a weak voice: "My daughter had an appointment with someone a few days ago, and today I want to have dinner together. My grandfather taught my daughter that you must keep your word and don't take it lightly. Breaking the contract, I wanted to ask my mother first, but you have to go out on business, so my daughter had to go out without permission, and ask mother to punish me."

After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips and put on a pitiful crying face, blinked her big eyes and looked left and right at her parents. Unable to bear it anymore, she put her hand under the table and gently pulled the corner of La Anshi's clothes.

An understands her daughter's tricks better than Cheng Yibo, with an expression of "I believe in your evil" on her face, not knowing whether to be angry or to laugh, she coughed and said: "I don't care about today's affairs, but the recent You can no longer go out casually, even if you want to go out, you must take Chuntao with you, I can rest assured that she is good at it."

Hearing that Anshi said that he didn't care about it anymore, Lin Junnuan also felt relieved, pulled a chair and sat down next to Anshi, and asked curiously, "What happened?"

An Shi stretched out her hand to pinch Lin Junnuan's cheek, and sighed, "Do you still remember Miss Qinglian from Xu Shilang's family?"

Lin Junnuan flipped through his memory, nodded and said: "I still have some impressions, Xu Qinglian, she is as her name suggests, she is so lofty and pitiful, what's wrong with her?"

An's face showed a bit of sadness: "I also seldom go out. I only heard the news today. Miss Qinglian passed away ten days ago. I heard that she was killed by someone."

The author has something to say:

Ah Hua: What I am avoiding is the difference between superiority and inferiority. It is actually the difference between men and women. My son, I am afraid you will never know.
