Chapter 60 Cloud Island Suspicion

In the early morning of the second day, Cao Zhengming and Zhang Zhi didn't know where they had gone. Du Si got up drunk in Xiaolou. Although Master Ding had told him a lot, Du Si still couldn't let go of the curiosity in his heart, so he went to Yong'an Street .

People came and went on the road, and Du Si walked forward with the flow of people. Suddenly, he seemed to sense the movement behind him. He looked back carefully, but he didn't see anyone.

Du Si took a few more steps forward, and he turned around unexpectedly, only to see a familiar figure.

Du Yu, who hadn't seen him for many days, was standing in front of a booth, staring at the big white bun that had just come out of the cage, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

She quickly noticed Du Si's gaze, raised her head immediately, and looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

In the end, Du Si bought five steamed buns for Du Yu. The two of them were walking on the street, but Du Si didn't speak. At this moment, the pupils of his eyes seemed to be softened by the rising sun's light, which was quite different from usual.

"Du Yu, you don't have to watch over me all the time." Du Si stared at her and said seriously, "I'm safe by Cao Zhengming's side.

Du Yu shook her head, she looked at Du Si, as if she wanted to say something.

"Someone has been following me." Du Si said bluntly.

Du Yu lowered his head and began to eat the buns.

Du Si sighed, feeling more and more that the hole Du Yongqiu dug for himself was getting deeper and deeper.

"How is your memory coming back?"

"Remember..." Du Yu frowned, but his eyes were no longer confused.

"Miss Du, I would like to advise you." Du Si stopped, and Du Yu followed suit, and then raised a pair of silent eyes to look at him, "Go now, there is still time, if you want to go, go."

Du Si raised a smile towards Du Yu, "Leave me, maybe you can find someone who treats you sincerely, and spend the rest of your life with him in peace."

The half-eaten bun in Du Yu's hand fell to the ground, and she rushed to Du Si, clutching his sleeves tightly with both hands, and said persistently.

"I do not go!"

"You..." Du Si choked up, surprised by her fierce reaction.

Du Yu didn't speak anymore, but just looked straight at Du Si.

"It's fine for you to stay." Du Si laughed, "Where can I find such a free bodyguard, if that's the case, you can follow me to Zuixiaolou."

After speaking, Du Si took the lead.

"Yes, my lord!" Du Yu's eyes lit up, and he followed closely.

There are many things that Du Si doesn't know about in this world, such as Jing Heng's unreasonable approach and Du Yu's identity. The only thing that is certain is that neither of them has the desire to harm.

Du Yu quietly raised her head, and it was a new experience for her to appear in front of other people's eyes. She could work at sunrise and rest at sunset like ordinary people, facing the scorching sun and welcoming the light.

Once this kind of life is accepted, she will enjoy it like an addiction, and all the cruel colors scattered in her past memories will be forgotten by her. There are no orders, no killing days, and she lives very well.

Thinking of this, Du Yu smiled stiffly, and she strode behind Du Si with much lighter steps.

The two came to Zuixiao Tower together, but no one was there at this time, Du Si saw the opportunity to slip in and carefully observe the burned part of Zuixiao Tower.

The left half of the Zuixiao Tower was severely damaged. Du Si walked up to him. There are four floors in the Zuixiao Tower, but the first floor was burned more severely than the upper floor. It seems that this is where the fire started. , go in carefully.

I saw that the most damaged room on the first floor was empty, most of the walls were gone, and there were a few large vats in the corner, perhaps because of the material, it escaped unharmed, and there were still a few pieces facing the arch. The solid wooden table was standing stubbornly. Du Si walked to the table and took a look, only to see that the wooden table was pitch black, and many sundries were mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish.

Du Si looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help fiddled with it. Before he could catch anything, his hand touched a black lump. Du Si picked it up and looked at it for a long time before he recognized it was a knife.

Du Si searched for other places and found a few kitchen knives respectively. After all, the kitchen knife film is too familiar, which is the standard equipment of Dazhong|Hua. At the same time, Du Si also affirmed that this is a kitchen.

"Zuixiaolou's kitchen is on fire..." Du Si picked up a kitchen knife and murmured, "The kitchen is full of smoke and fire, so it's understandable that it's on fire. As long as I find the source of the fire, I'll be at ease."

For some reason, Du Si always felt that the fire in Zuixiaolou was not as simple as an accident. He was so persistent because he wanted to prove the truth of what everyone said.

If the fire in Zuixiaolou was not an accident, then the disappearance of Pei Xingji's son would be settled... Du thought about the steward named Ji Shi, and thought it was necessary for him to go to the house again.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" A female voice woke up Du Si, and the two turned around, only to see a woman standing in front of the door with a puzzled face.

Just as Du Si wanted to say that he came by the way, he just opened his mouth when he recalled his little brother's reaction yesterday. Du Si's thoughts moved, and a pure smile appeared on his face.

"Master Zhizhou ordered the villain to come here. I don't know how the treasurer Pei is doing."

"So that's how it is." The woman smiled, "I saw that you were unfamiliar, and thought you were here to watch the fun, so I almost kicked you out."

"Master Zhizhou is busy today, so I can't get away, so let me come to Zuixiaolou to see more." Du Si's words are not nonsense, Cao Zhengming is really busy recently, and he and Zhang Zhi are not seen early in the morning, so I don't know why. Where did the two go.

"Hey, I'll have to wait for a while." The woman sighed, "The son of shopkeeper Pei has not been found yet, and the shopkeeper has no intention of repairing Zuixiaolou."

After talking for a period of time, Du Si learned that the woman was the cook here, and many people called her Li Niang. On the night of the incident, she just went to other places to collect materials, and when she came back to the kitchen, she ignited.

"There were no casualties, which is a good thing, but it's troublesome for Shopkeeper Pei."

When mentioning Zuixiaolou, Du thought of someone, and he said calmly, "I heard that Jiang Yan is also the cook here, and the dishes are delicious."

"Yeah, she's really hardworking!" Speaking of Jiang Yan, Li Niang praised with a smile on her face, "Jiang Yan is skillful, and she is also famous for cutting vegetables. She earns more than other cooks, just..."

Li Niang sighed, "It's that rogue father-in-law at the booth, he has taken a lot of care."

"Is her father-in-law Old Man Wu?" Du Si asked.

"That's right, it's old man Wu." Li Niang nodded, and then told about Jiang Yan's family affairs, "Jiang Yan married a good husband, but after a few years, her husband went out to collect medicine and accidentally He fell down the mountain and died, and the old man Wu is also a master of sitting and eating. He likes drinking and fighting cockfights. He always asks Jiang Yan for money on weekdays. She is a weak woman, she does her best to fulfill her filial piety, and lives on a tight schedule, but she still has to scrape together money to buy wine for old man Wu, how pitiful she is!"

Du Si shook his head, it was the first time he had seen such a man cheating his daughter-in-law, and he really raised his posture.

"Now, old man Wu has been harmed by someone. He usually has a bad relationship with his neighbors, and he harmed Jiang Yan like that, but no one shed a tear for him." Li Niang sighed, but she had a relaxed smile on her face. , "Now, Jiang Yan is relieved, and I also give her a sigh of relief from the bottom of my heart. After a while, Jiang Yan won't have to worry about Old Man Wu anymore."

Li Niang's words were full of dissatisfaction with the old man Wu. Du Si walked around the kitchen several times, but there was no fire.

"Do you have a place to put wine here?" Du Si asked.

"Yes." Li Niang walked to the other side, pointing to a pile of charred black and said, "All of them were burned. I remember that there were stacks of wine jars here, and they were all full of wine."

The place where the wine jar is placed is about forty feet away from the wooden table, which is very far away.

Du Si squatted down and groped in the scorched blackness. He dug out a few fragments of wine jars that were still intact. burst.

"Didn't there be a fire here when you left?" Du Si asked while pinching a few pieces.

"There has never been a fire here, and it was fine when I left." Li Niang swore.

"How long did it take you to collect materials?"

"It's only a moment." Li Niang said.

"Just a moment?" Du Si was a little surprised, "Where did the fire burn when you came back?"

"The whole house is on fire, but the stove is so far away from the wine jar, how could it go there?" Li Niang was puzzled, and then she confided an important message, "There were still people here at the time, let alone the fire. It's burning."

"Someone? Who?"

"I can't remember..." Li Niang said with a sad face, "I only remember one person cooking here."

"It's okay, we'll find it." Du Si got up and said confidently, he can now be sure that the fire must be caused by human hands.

At this time, Li Niang saw Du Si's knife turned out, she went to the front and counted, and said loudly.

"Hey, why is there a handful missing?"

Du Si stepped forward quickly, "Are you sure? Count them well!"

"It's true that a knife is missing." Li Niang recalled, she had a good memory, and said after a while, "That is a boning knife, there were two here originally, but now one is missing, someone must have taken it away gone."

Du Si frowned and said nothing, he bid farewell to Li Niang with Du Yu, and walked back to the street. At this time, the owner of a jewelry shop next to the tea shed saw the two of them, and immediately hid behind the wall, watching them secretly.

Du Yu squinted, and suddenly appeared in front of the boss in the next moment, and dragged him out of the store to Du Si.

"Hey!" The boss was thrown to the ground by Du Yu, crying out in pain.

"My lord, he is peeping at you." Du Yu said directly.

"Sneaking at me?" Du Si sized up the owner of the jewelry shop seriously, "Do you know me?"

"I don't know, I don't know." The boss waved his hands, not daring to look at Du Yu.

"Could it be that I'm too handsome to fascinate you?" Du Si chuckled, teased a few more words, and dragged Du Yu away.

The boss stared at the two of them leaving with lingering fear, then turned back silently and returned to the shop.

"Boss, how did you sell this hairpin?" Someone asked.

"Two qian silver, I won't sell it if it's less." The boss stretched out two fingers and said decisively.

"Hehe, why is it so expensive!" The man took another good look at the hairpin, and after speaking, he was about to touch it.

"Hey, don't touch it if you don't buy it." The boss slapped off the man's hand, "This is the one Xu Tiangao bought, can it be cheap?"

"Hey, he is really willing, no wonder, there is such a beautiful wife at home..." The man thought about it, then shook his head and said, "But now that everyone is dead, what's the use of buying that hairpin. "

"The King of Hades wants him to die in the third watch, who dares to keep him until the fifth watch." The boss stroked his beard and said inscrutably, "Man's fate is determined by the sky. It's not good to walk with those two legs, but he ran to a dead end. Go up, who can save him?"

"It's true." The man stayed and just chatted with the boss. He pointed to the snack shop opposite and said mysteriously to the boss, "The opposite side of you was also burned, and the person who died that night also bought it from you." Shi, aren't you afraid that Xu Tiangao will come looking for you?"

"Go, go, look at your stinky mouth, if you don't buy it, leave!"

"Haha, was the fire burning that night? I saw it from a long way away." The man laughed.

"See?" The boss groaned a few times, but smiled wryly, "I saw something I shouldn't have seen..."

On the opposite side, a few gusts of wind blew, and many ashes on the ground were blown away and drifted away with the wind.
