Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

Although the shorter book boy was thin, he bravely stood in front of another man who was lying on the ground. Both of them had asphalt on their faces, and they looked like they were punched out by someone. of.

"The supervisor told you not to come here a few days ago,? Who told you not to listen? Don't blame our brothers for being rude today!"

The burly man who was clearly the leader walked up to them in a few steps, made a nasty voice, and didn't give anyone any excuses. He rolled up his sleeves, showing his strong arms, and pulled the book boy in front of him aside, ready to face him on the ground. man hands up.

"Hey!"

Yan Chasan saw that the man on the ground had no strength to restrain a chicken. If he was beaten by this man, he would be disabled if he did not die. As an official of the court, if he saw people committing crimes in the street, he would not be able to justify it. Waiting for the strong man to shake his fist When he got up, he hurriedly uttered a sound to stop him.

"Xingxiao,? Don't eat it." Zhan Zhao kicked Ren Xingxiao, who was eating candied haws on the right, and nodded his head forward.Ren Xingluo understood, threw the bamboo stick with only one fruit left, and hit the big man on the back, then wiped his clothes on his clothes, and walked over aggressively with a long knife.

"Who will beat me? You?"

The big man turned around with an evil look on his face, and there were two scars across his left eye. Ren Xingluo stood in front of him, looking thin and small, not even reaching his shoulders.

"In broad daylight, the world is bright and bright, at the feet of the Son of Heaven..."

Ren Xingluo didn't hesitate, and told him what he had read in the storybook before. With a draw of the long knife, he stood upright on the ground, pointed at the two people inside, and said, "Why did you hit someone?"

"Little baby, are you blind at such a young age? Where does the sun come from? Show me!" The strong man put his hands on his waist and let out a roar that was shocking.

"puff!"

Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing when he heard this sentence, he watched Zhan Zhao cheerfully, neither he nor Zhan Zhao were unreasonable people, even though it was wrong for these strong men to beat someone, we still need to find out the reason before we can help.When Ren Xingluo heard that laugh, he gave him a direct look.Then he said to the big man, "...I, I should report something to the police! How could you attack two weak...men in private like this!"

"Bah! These two boys have made troubles in my yard many times. It's fine if you don't kill him! You are full to meddle in business!"

Yan Chasan was worried that the two might fight if they continued talking, so he stepped forward and said to the brawny man, "My dear brother, even if the two sons make trouble first, you can report it to the government instead of beating people here."

"Boss, forget it, the boss said..." Seeing that Yan Chasan and the others were so many, one of the strong men probably didn't want to go to court, so he leaned into the strong man's ear and murmured a few words.

"You guys are lucky today!"

After listening, the strong man looked at Gu Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, and left with his younger brother in a hurry.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Seeing the strong man go away, the book boy ran out from behind the tree, thanked Ren Xingluo, and pulled up the seriously injured young man who was lying on the ground.

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled when he saw their faces clearly.

"What?" Bai Yutang asked.

"These two seem to have met each other before. It seems that they met in Jiuxian Tower a few days ago, but you didn't remember it when you were drunk."

Zhan Zhao recalled that the two of them became more and more familiar, but they were the master and servant who he and Bai Yutang ran into at the gate of Jiuxian Tower after returning from Jiuhua.

"Thank you!"

The bookboy helped the young man to walk in front of them.

"It's a little effort, it's just...the two don't look like troublemakers, why?"

Yan Chasan looked at the marks on their faces and their outfits, and was puzzled.

"Hey... this matter still has to"

"Xiaomu"

The young man who was being helped suddenly interrupted the book boy, and said to Yan Cha San, "Because of a little personal matter, I would like to thank you for saving me this time, but I can't tell you yet, please forgive me."

"It's okay, it's okay, since I can't say it, I won't say it," Yan Chasan saw that they didn't want to say more, and they didn't force it. They were just saving things at random, maybe they have something to say and they don't necessarily say it.Ren Xingluo put away the long knife and left with Zhan Zhao.

"Master! Isn't that Mr. Zhan? What are you doing?... Hey!" The book boy became anxious when he saw Zhan Zhao and others walking away, and couldn't help complaining to the young man.

"We don't have any evidence yet, what should we say? Master Zhan will believe it? Well, go back first, I will come here tomorrow night by myself, you just wait at the inn." While walking, Xiaomu pursed his lips but couldn't refute.

The five walked along the street to the Jiuxian Tower, then Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang turned left, and Yan Cha San turned right.

"Brother Yan bids farewell."

"Farewell."

Before leaving, Yu Mo made a face at Bai Yutang, Yan Chasan slapped him on the head, and smiled apologetically at Bai Yutang.

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to Kaifeng Mansion, the two big lanterns at the gate were already lit up, and Chao Mahan was guarding the gate.Ren Xingluo's interest came quickly, and so did his sleepiness, and he was already sneezing before he reached the yard.

"Master, Uncle Bai, I'm going to rest first." After opening the courtyard door, Ren Xingluo greeted the two of them, and ran back to his room.

"Go to bed later, don't drink." Zhan Zhao was worried that Bai Yutang would steal alcohol again in the middle of the night, so he specifically told him before entering the door.

"Yeah." Bai Yutang nodded.

The moonlight was quite bright in the courtyard, Zhan Zhao stood in front of the window and looked at Bai Yutang's room, saw that his window was half closed, and he could vaguely see the figure inside.

"Sleep." Bai Yutang poked his head out of the window, mouthing to Zhan Zhao.

Then Zhan Zhao watched the candles in his room go out, raised his hand to close the window, bent down and spread the quilt, ready to go to bed.

"Snapped."

When he was taking off his belt, a black object fell from his waist and rolled under the table. Zhan Zhao took off his coat and reached out to pick it up. It was a hairpin.

The whole body of the hairpin is black, looking closely at the light, it seems to be deliberately painted, and a jade is inlaid on the tail, which is not an item worn by women.

But... Zhan Zhao sat on the edge of the bed, the only one close to him tonight was Bai Yutang, could it be him?No, Bai Yutang would only give him things in an open and honest manner.If it was someone else, who could make him not even notice that he had put a hairpin in his arms?

"Ask Yutang tomorrow." Zhan Zhao thought about it, but couldn't resist the waves of drowsiness, so he took off his clothes and went to bed after tidying up.

.....................

"Master, how are you doing today?"

By the Huahe River, a man in Tsing Yi was standing on the bank with his hands behind his back. It was late at night, and the surrounding area was silent. Even the Hualou not far away had most of the lights turned off.The night was too dark, so I couldn't see his specific appearance clearly, but he was quite tall, and the person talking next to him was the beating man Zhan Zhao and others saw when they came back.

"Yes... yes." The man nodded, as if he was not used to speaking, his speech speed was extremely slow, and his tone was weird and stiff.

"The subordinate will leave first, and the master will rest early," the strong man saw that he didn't talk much, bowed slightly, and then retreated, disappearing into the night.

"Zhan... Zhao." The man stood for a long time, uttered a word, and then walked across the river to the opposite bank.

"Dang, clang, clang..." There was a loud knock outside the Kaifeng mansion.

Zhan Zhao unexpectedly fell asleep tonight, he was awake in his consciousness, wanted to make a sound, but could only utter fragmentary syllables, tried to open his eyes, but couldn't, panting non-stop as if something was pressing on him .

"Kill you………"

"……clear………"

"Who are you..." Zhan Zhao uttered a sentence with difficulty, and then asked the two people who kept talking in his mind.

"...Please...Kaifeng...Star Lord..." The voice didn't answer, but still spoke some irrelevant words on its own.

Zhan Zhao slowly clenched the pillow with his fingers, trying to hear the two voices in his dream, but he could only hear some intermittently.

"Walk………"

After a long time, the two voices dissipated, and Zhan Zhao fainted weakly.

"Cat! Cat! Are you in there?" There was a knock on the door and Bai Yutang's voice, Zhan Zhao was startled awake.

"I'm here." Zhan Zhao rubbed his brows, woke up from the bed, and realized that it was already daylight when the sun dazzled his eyes.

"What's the matter?" Bai Yutang opened the door and came in, seeing Zhan Zhao sitting on the bed, sweating profusely, "Nightmare? Chao Wang asked me why I didn't see you this morning, I thought you went to the palace to be on duty early in the morning."

"It seems to be haunted by a nightmare," Zhan Zhao said after brushing away the broken hair on his forehead, taking the face towel from Bai Yutang and wiping his face.

"Nightmare, what did you dream about?"

"It's very strange. It should be two men who said something about killing and Kaifeng, but they didn't hear clearly." Zhan Zhao shook his head, telling what he heard in his dream.

"You don't have too many cases. You even dream about this in your dreams. I asked Mr. Gongsun to prescribe you some soothing soup. If you have any trivial cases, you can ignore them. You are not a handyman." Bai Yutang complained. , worried that Zhan Zhao would have to overwork himself to death if he continued.

"Maybe." Zhan Zhao also felt that it might be that he had handled several cases in a row recently, even dreaming of murder.

"By the way, is this yours?" When the bed was made, Zhan Zhao remembered the wooden hairpin on the bed and brought it to Bai Yutang.

"No, where did it come from?" Bai Yutang rested his fingers on the jade stone on the head of the hairpin, feeling that it was abnormally cold, and the black body of the hairpin was a bit weird.

"I always feel that it's not a good thing..."

"I have the same feeling, but if it's not yours, who else can put a hairpin in my arms without being noticed?" Zhan Zhao was confused. There were only five people present at the time, and he clearly remembered going to Huayue Tower. Never had this hairpin before.

"Someone else put it?!" Bai Yutang was startled, "Throw it away!"

"Wait!" Zhan Zhao dodges, narrowly saving the hairpin that Bai Yutang threw out of the door.

"You still want to keep the dead cat!" Bai Yutang was furious.

"No, I always feel that this hairpin is a bit strange. Mr. Gongsun has always done research on this aspect. Why don't you come with me and ask."

Holding the wooden hairpin, Zhan Zhao always felt that things were not that simple.Bai Yutang was also suddenly impatient just now, when he heard that it was something given to Zhan Zhao, he couldn't help throwing it away, and regretted it afterwards, but luckily Zhan Zhao caught it.

"Then, let's go." Bai Yutang snatched the hairpin and stuffed it into his own cuff, still not wanting Zhan Zhao to hold it.
