On the second day, the magistrate still did not come back, and at the same time a letter came from Linshui County, saying that the magistrate would stay there for a few more days.

This made Li San, who was eagerly waiting at the door, extremely desperate. For him, as long as there is more than one day, the possibility of the chicken being returned becomes less and less.

In ancient times, the time to settle cases was much longer than Du Si thought, especially for homicide cases, which were several months shorter and could be investigated for five or six years. To be fair, it is very likely that he will be dragged into prison for crimes.

Du Si did not give up, he asked Li San Zhao Si to go back and think about who he had close contact with, while he tried to find the owner of the footprints on the wall.

"My lord, the county is so big, do you want to search from house to house?" Du Heng asked.

Du Si didn't reply, he came to a store, grabbed a handful of candies and asked the boss to wrap them up.

"Would you like to buy it for me?"

"These candies are useful..." After finishing speaking, Du Si stuffed a candy into his mouth in front of Du Heng.

"Young master, I want to eat too!"

"Ok, here you go."

After coaxing Du Heng, the two walked on the street. Du Si came to a small tea shop on the corner of the street. After ordering two cups of green tea, he began to stare at the street.

Until a group of chasing and frolicking young children passed by——

Du Si whispered to Du Heng, Du Heng gave his master a strange look, and ran to the group of children.

"There was a big brother who gave out candies. He told me to find other children and give me more candies."

Facing a pair of puzzled eyes, Du Heng opened his hand, revealing a small pile of sugar grains.

"Go get it now, it will be gone in a while!" Du Heng urged again.

So, each of these children received a candy from Du Si.

"If you can attract more people, I will give out candy, one for each person, and it must be a child no older than eleven."

After Du Si gave his orders, he saw each child looking at each other as if facing a formidable enemy, and ran to different directions, and disappeared after a while.

"Young master, can all the children be called here?"

"Don't worry, I still have other ways..." Du Si put on an unfathomable look with sugar in his mouth.

But within an hour, a large group of children gathered in front of the small tea shop, and everyone looked at the paper bag in Du Si's hand with sparkling light in their eyes.

Duce began to distribute candy, he bought enough, and there was still some left in the bag.

"Do you still want to eat?" Du Si asked with a smile.

"think--"

"I still have a lot here. Next, I want to ask you a few questions. Anyone who can tell the truth has candy."

Du Si smiled extremely gently, and a group of children couldn't help but nodded in unison.

At this time, two policemen passed by here, and couldn't help but stop.

"What is he doing?"

"I don't know, let's take a look."

Du Si asked, "Have you heard of the thefts that happened these days?"

Several people agreed, and Du Si gave them a few candies.

"Who eats rice these days?"

About half of the children responded, and Du Si continued to give candy.

"Were there any clouds last night?"

"No."

"It's windy!"

Many people rushed to answer, Du Si kept his word and gave candy, and the atmosphere gradually became active.

"So... on the night of the [-]th, when did you sleep?" Du Si easily tested these young children, and it was Zhao Si and Li San's time to report the crime on the morning of the [-]th.

"Sleep as soon as it gets dark!"

"I didn't sleep until my dad came back."

"Me too…"

Among them, several people looked in a trance, hesitating and unable to speak.

"Is anyone lying? If you don't answer truthfully, I'm leaving." Du Si stood up and was about to leave.

"I, I didn't sleep well that night... because I wet the bed at night..."

"My mother even whipped my ass!"

The children struggled|struggled a few times, and finally told the truth. In order to prevent Du Si from leaving, the others began to sell their teammates one after another.

"Big brother, don't go! They are the ones who like to wet the bed the most. I heard that Xiao Bao has been bed-wetting since he was six years old!"

"The dog next door to me played with mud yesterday, and was whipped by his mother when he came back..."

There was a lot of talk for a while, and Du Si sat back on the bench and gave out candy. During this period of time, many young children couldn't hold back their temper and spoke very actively.

This is exactly what Du Si wanted.

Duce asked, "Has any of you been injured recently?"

"My ass..."

"My tooth fell out!"

"Bleeding hurts so much." Du Si smiled and said, "How about this, I will give two candies to anyone who is injured."

When the children below heard it, they were full of energy, and soon began to cooperate with each other, and even took off their shoes.

But the reality is quite different from what Du Si thought. The injuries suffered by these children are very common, not the kind he wanted.

"Hey, look, the kids are starting to take off their clothes."

"Yeah, what did that kid say?"

The two policemen stood on the street and whispered, raising their hands and talking.

At this time, Captain Sun passed by, and he narrowed his eyes, and immediately saw the little catcher who was fishing.

"Eh? What are you doing here!" Detective Sun shouted sharply.

"I, we just watch the fun..."

"I said, why do you walk around and don't see any of you, so you ran here to be lazy, so hurry up and patrol over there!"

"Yes!!"

The two catchers hurried away, and catcher Sun smiled and said to the people beside him, "Jing Heng, what do you say about me..."

When his eyes touched the person sitting in the small tea shop across the street, his voice changed abruptly.

"Why is this Du Si lingering around?" Catcher Sun turned his face quickly, "Why are there so many children in front of him, let's go over and see what kind of moth he is doing!"

Jing Heng remained silent, looking at the tea shop with long eyes.

After Du Si asked, he distributed all the candy and the children left. After paying the money, he pulled Du Heng to leave.

"My lord, how is it?" Du Heng asked.

Du Si shook his head, these children are most likely to assist the thief, because through the conversation just now, he learned that the younger children are often supervised by adults, and they are not yet the age of bears.

Children of this age do not have a perfect world view, and it is very difficult to hide their inner thoughts, but Du Si did not see any clues.

In other words, they are fine.

"Hey, isn't this our Master Du, is there any progress in the case?"

Detective Sun abruptly blocked the way of the two, with his nostrils turned upside down, trying to ridicule the pair of master and servant.

"If you've been busy working for a long time and didn't find anything, it would be so embarrassing. I'm really worried for my lord." Detective Sun beat his chest and stamped his feet quickly, with a look of remorse.

Du Si really wanted to punch him when he saw that pretentious posture.

"Good dogs don't block the way, but bad dogs often block the way." Du Si chuckled, "Catcher Sun, are you a good dog or a bad dog?"

"You, you!" Detective Sun couldn't beat him quickly, and took a few steps back.

"Good boy, Mr. Sun is really obedient." Du Si took the opportunity to step forward, and was about to bypass Detective Sun.

At this time, a tall figure suddenly appeared.

Du Si bumped into Jing Heng again, and he found that his head had been knocked on a stone slab. In comparison, his strength was terrifyingly small.

Now it was Du Si backing back again and again. He covered his head and raised his head in surprise, but he could only see Jing Heng's smooth chin. To the frequency of the beating blood hidden under the skin.

A faint fragrance came to the nostrils, Du Si's face gradually heated up, and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

A chuckle came from above his head, full of contempt for one of his inherent disadvantages.

Du Siqi raised his head vigorously, combined with the expression on the man's face, he finally affirmed a fact.

——This is laughing at myself for being short!

Just as Du Sigang put down his hand covering his head, Jing Heng suddenly moved away.

So Du Si ran away without looking back.

"Come back! I haven't finished asking—"

Detective Sun's exasperated shout was left far behind by the two of them.

"My lord, wait for me!"

Du Si's mind was in turmoil, he stopped without warning, almost causing Du Heng behind him to throw himself on a passerby.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Du Si patted his cheek, convincing himself that the anomaly just now must be caused by eating too much breakfast, it must be!

"Okay, let's go investigate the case!"

Du Si walked forward with a stiff body.

"...My lord, that's the south of the city, we've already arrived at the Yamen." Du Heng said helplessly.

"Really?" Du Si walked back rubbing the back of his head.

"My lord, you are very astute when you solve a case, but you are usually foolish... I really have nothing to do with you."

"Life is alive, and the life expectancy is only mediocre. Why should you stick to the world and make yourself unhappy?" Du Si pouted, pressed Du Heng's head hard, and smiled frivolously.

"See which girl is willing to marry you!" Du Heng rolled his eyes.

"There are no girls, there are men."

Du Si smiled obscenely.

"...My lord, I don't know you." Du Heng hurried away.

"I was joking with you just now!" Du Si quickly chased after him.

Who would have thought that this joke would come true... so much so that when Du Si was eaten to death by that person, he would always lament how his mouth was so cheap that day (funny.

The two were going to the north of the city after a lot of tossing, when the figure in front of the yamen caught their attention.

It was a middle-aged woman dressed as a woman. She lingered in front of the gate, refusing to leave for a long time. Coupled with her hesitant appearance, it was hard not to pay attention.

The master and servant looked at each other and walked towards the woman.

"what are you doing here?"

Du Si suddenly made a sound, which almost scared the woman half to death.

"Who's here?"

"Of course it's a living person. What are you afraid of?" Du Si was curious.

The woman gave Du Si a blank look, then poked her head to look at the yamen.

"Do you want to report the crime?"

"What does it have to do with you?" The woman ignored him, but was busy looking forward.

"I'm a small official under the county magistrate. If you want to report the case, just tell me." Du Si clasped his fists in a dignified manner.

This really frightened the woman, and she honestly began to report to Du Si.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that the theft case in the north of the city has been raging recently. The women came to report the news because they were afraid of delaying the handling of the case by the yamen officials."

Du Si's expression froze, and his intuition told him that this woman would provide important clues.

"On the night of No. 14, the woman was resting at home. Suddenly, she heard footsteps. Looking out through the window, a little doll with luggage passed by my house. Unexpectedly, No. 15 was involved in the case. I heard that There was still a small footprint on Zhao Si's wall, and the woman thought that the doll she saw that night must be related to this case."

Du Si raised the corners of his lips, it seemed that God was still on his side.
