little couple

Lunch is eggplant with garlic, a small plate of fried pork slices, and a bowl of egg soup.

Ning Yin ate absently, and after a while he said: "Housekeeper, I'll go out later, you take care of them."

After saying that, Ning Yin looked at Angelica and said solemnly: "If there is nothing else, you must follow them every step of the way, and don't let them get lost."

Anyway, Danggui has seen the big world. Hearing this, he immediately understood. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Master, is someone targeting us?"

"Well, it's just aimed at me, not you." Ning Yin thought for a while, and continued: "But to be on the safe side, you should watch them more these days, don't let them run around, and save the gang of people from changing." The idea is to kill them all. '

Dang Gui said: "Master, is it a tiger...?"

Ning Yin nodded calmly, then picked up a piece of roasted eggplant, his brows were indifferent, as if he didn't take this matter to heart, but he seemed to have an idea, so he didn't panic.

Dang Gui's face was full of sadness, but more of it was anger: "The Hu family is really getting more and more rampant!"

"Prosperity is bound to decline, and the Humen Security Bureau will not be rampant for long." Ning Yin, who has always been easy-going, said coldly at this moment: "As for Hu Xingming, he dared to hurt me once, twice, or three times, but I will not bear it again."

Dogs will jump over walls when they are in a hurry, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, and easy-going people will fight back when they are in a hurry.

Angelica remained silent.

After lunch, Ning Yin was about to go out to the gate of Nancheng, but when he reached the entrance of the alley, a policeman came in front of him, it was the policeman named Laoxiao.

As soon as the youngest saw Ning Yin, he quickened his pace and walked over: "Brother Jiu Xian, Wang Butou asked me to tell you that he can't come to see you temporarily because he has something to do, and we can talk about it when he is free next time."

Ning Yin froze for a moment, then said, "What's the matter?"

The old and the young looked around and found that there were no pedestrians on the side of the road, so they leaned into Ning Yin's ear and whispered: "Luo Xiaozhou died, by the old locust tree in Zhaojia Village, hey, it took him many days to die. Someone reported it to the police, but Catcher Wang took his brothers to investigate the case."

Luo Xiaozhou...who is it?

The old Xiaodao: "It's the little nephew of Manager Luo in Chashan. Didn't he say that he didn't tell Manager Luo that the villagers didn't dive in time? Alas, good luck tricks people. It's not that he refuses to say it, but that people have already died, so this was delayed."

dead?

Ning Yin was about to go together, but it was inconvenient for him to show up because of his identity, and he had other things to do right now, so he had no choice but to say: "Well, please help me to tell Wang Butou, and we will come together when he is free. Going out of the city." The old and the young asked curiously: "What are you doing out of the city together? Are you going to a nearby temple to seek marriage?"

--roll.

Ning Yin smiled and said, "No comment."

The youngest curled his lips and didn't ask any more questions, so he had to leave first.

Ning Yin walked towards the restaurant, the agreed time had arrived, and the owner of the restaurant was already waiting.

Perhaps it was because he was too anxious to know the whereabouts of the other Ning family members, so Ning Yin did not find out that the owner of the restaurant made a special trip to wait for him today.

The owner of the restaurant brought Ning Yin to the last private room on the second floor, and handed him a note.

Opening the note, it clearly stated that the land in the extreme north lived incognito in this life, and the land in the extreme east continued the teachings of the Ning family's ancestors.

The implication is that some of the Ning family members are currently hiding their names in the extreme north and plan to spend their lives like this, while the other part of the Ning family are unwilling to be buried with their medical skills, so they continue to practice medicine in the extreme east to save people.

Ning Yin read the note over and over for a long time, and couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

The owner of the restaurant thought about it: "I have something to ask your Excellency."

Ning Yin looked at him and smiled: "Boss He is very capable. He should already know who I am. If that's the case, why do you ask me for help?"

The owner of the restaurant smiled and said: "It is because I know who you are that I ask you to help me. My mother's surname is Zhao. After marrying my father more than 20 years ago, she never returned to her mother's house. Now she I'm getting old, and although I miss my hometown very much, I'm not in good health and I can't travel by car, so please help me to go to Zhaojia Village. '

Hearing this, Ning Yin was surprised and said: "Zhaojia Village is not far from here. Boss He's mother shouldn't be tired, so Boss He should be free, right? Besides, in this whole restaurant, can't you find a second person?" Anyone with free time?"

Although he didn't say it clearly, Ning Yin's words were full of suspicion.

The owner of the restaurant smiled and said: "Your Excellency, I am joking. My mother is not in Heguicheng now, but in the Imperial City, so although she intends to return to Heguicheng, she has no choice. Besides, I will leave this matter to others. Don't worry, I can only leave it to you."

Ning Yin raised her eyebrows and became interested: "What is it?"

The owner of the restaurant said: "My mother received a letter from my natal cousin more than half a month ago. She asked my mother to help me find out about the old locust tree in Zhaojia Village—"

Old locust tree?

Ning Yin frowned: "I remember that the old locust tree in Zhaojia Village is quite old."

"Yes, that old locust tree is almost a hundred years old." The owner of the restaurant took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and continued: "My aunt wrote in her letter that the children in Zhaojia Village are always falling in love in the middle of the night recently. Talking to the old locust tree, it seems like you have been possessed by an evil spirit, and you have to stay there no matter how you scold me."

Ning Yin guessed something: "Your aunt's child also..."

"Yes." The owner of the restaurant nodded seriously: "My little cousin always likes to run to the old locust tree behind the village in the middle of the night, not only him, but also several other children. There was nothing I could do about it, so I had to invite a priestess to do the work, but it was of no use. My aunt was worried that this matter would become more and more troublesome, so she asked my mother to help."

Speaking of this, the owner of the restaurant smiled helplessly: "My mother was going back to the city after receiving the letter, but was stopped by my father and the others. Now I will leave this matter to me, but I am busy with business, so I really can't get rid of it." body, so I can only ask Your Excellency."

Ning Yin took a sip of tea and thoughtfully said, "It just so happens that I'm also quite curious about what happened repeatedly in Zhaojiacun. Boss He, I'll help."

The owner of the restaurant clapped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency."

"you are welcome."

But anyway, the money that should be paid clearly still has to be paid.

Ning Yin settled the bill, then accepted the deposit from the owner of the restaurant, and then slowly left the restaurant. After taking two steps, he stopped, raised his hand and patted his head: "I forgot to ask where Ning Sujing is now... ...Forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to ask, anyway, that guy will run out by himself sooner or later."

The time is still early, and Ning Yin still remembers that Luo Xiaozhou was found dead in Zhaojia Village, and Wang Butou and others are also in Zhaojia Village. After thinking about it, Ning Yin was also curious about what happened, and he also left the city .

When Ning Yin came to Zhaojia Village, he found that not only Wang Butou and others were present, but also Zuo Wuxun and Hu Xingming.

Ning Yin: ".."

Zuo Wuxun twitched his mouth, and was about to walk towards Ning Yin, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Hu Xingming's ugly face, as if he was in a hurry.

Seeing this, Zuo Wuxun's thoughts sank, the gentle and honest friend in his memory, but now it gradually became difficult for people to see his true face.

Hu Xingming took the lead and said: "Jiu Xian Chivalrous Man, long time no see. I don't know why you came to Zhaojia Village?"

Ning Yin said: "I was entrusted to come here to have a look, but why did Young Master Hu come here specifically?"

"My friend and I happened to be walking around, and we heard that someone died here, so we came to see if there is anything we can do to help." Hu Xingming smiled brightly, but it was also very false.

Ning Yin looked to Zuo Wuxun, and looked away without looking twice. He looked at the crowd not far away, and said, "I'll go over there first and take my leave."

Zuo Wuxun smiled and said, "I'll go with you."

Ning Yin was stunned when she heard the words: "Okay."

Hu Xingming stood at the same place, he looked at the back of Ning Yin and Zuo Wuxun leaving side by side, he seemed to be calm, but in fact, there was a storm in his heart.

I've been idle for a long time, so I can't stay any longer.

Hu Xingming left here with a normal expression, walked to a secluded place, whistled, and after a while, two servants appeared, and Hu Xingming ordered: "Go back quickly and let Su Yue come here."

The boy said: "Yes!"

In addition to Wang Butou and others, there were also people from Zhaojia Village headed by Village Chief Zhao.

There were no children at the scene. It is estimated that the adults were worried that the children would have nightmares at night when they saw the dead bodies, so they deliberately did not let them come out, or it may be... something else.

And in a corner of the crowd lay a person covered with a straw mat. The straw mat was not lifted, but everyone at the scene could guess that the person covered by the straw mat must be Luo Xiaozhou.

Ning Yin asked, "How did he die?"

Zuo Wuxun came earlier and knew more things: "Drowned."

drowned?

Hearing this, Ning Yin looked around subconsciously. There were no big rivers or streams around the old locust tree. Where could someone drown?

"Since he was drowned, why did he go to the government?"

"There are several fatal wounds on his body, that's why the villagers reported it to the officials." Zuo Wuxun paused, and continued: "Besides, Luo Xiaozhou has been dead for five or six days."

Ning Yin understood: "You mean, he was transported to this old locust tree a few days after his death?"

This Luo Xiaozhou has been dead for a few days. It stands to reason that if someone dies in a dry season like now, he will stink the next day, and he was discovered early, and he will not wait until now.Moreover, there were several wounds on Luo Xiaozhou's body, and they were all fatal wounds. The problem is that what really killed Luo Xiaozhou was drowning... Luo Xiaozhou's case is really strange.

But the problem is that there are no big rivers and streams near the old locust tree, and it was only discovered after so many days of death, which shows that Luo Xiaozhou did not die around the old locust tree.

So, the murderer killed Luo Xiaozhou first, and then transported him to the old locust tree in Zhaojia Village after hiding the body for a few days?

On the one hand, Wang Butou said angrily: "Mr. Zhao, we are handling a case. What do you mean?"

Everyone looked over reflexively, but they saw Village Chief Zhao begging: "Since it shows that this person did not die in our Zhaojia Village, please take him away quickly and give our Zhaojia Village a peace."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
