Youth Tour

Chapter 4: Daybreak

The lonely person is initially determined.

Shen Lishi tossed and turned on the bed, stood up from time to time to listen to the sounds in the courtyard.Ah Huang still stayed in the yard next door where the accident happened, and he could vaguely hear the grunting from his throat.

In the silence, the sound of knocking on the Zhubang suddenly sounded, Shen Li was so frightened that his body tensed up, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was the watchmen who were playing the watch.When I touched my forehead, even cold sweat came out.

After a while, even the sound of the watch was no longer heard, and the surroundings returned to deathly silence.

Shen Li became more and more uneasy, she got out of bed gently, went to the window and listened carefully.After a long while, he lay back on the bed in frustration.

In this way, around the time of Chou, Mrs. Shen and Li felt a little drowsy.

Suddenly, the sound of "Du Du" sounded on the window lattice, and Shen Li sat up abruptly, not even caring about putting on his shoes, and stumbled to the window.

"The head of the house." Shen Li's voice was trembling.

A deep male voice came from outside the window, very impatient: "What's the matter, do you have to call me at this time?"

Shen Lishi almost cried: "The dead ghost has come back to look for me, the head of the family, please take me out of here."

The voice outside the window calmed down: "You know, the city has been intensively inspected these days, and people from the yamen are always watching here. If I take you away now, it will be suspicious for no reason. After the wind is over, I will find another chance Take you away, let's go far away, and don't have to worry about that dead ghost anymore."

"But I'm afraid." Mrs. Shen and Li held on to the pane, "After I took a rest last night, I always heard voices in the room. That dead ghost lingered and followed me."

"Yes," another voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, with the unique clarity of a young man, "Although Wan Kui is a bit greedy for money and a little dirty, he is not guilty of death. If you kill him, of course he will not die." San, follow you."

There was a buzzing in Shen Lishi's head, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.The person outside the door was a little stronger, he turned his head and ran when he came back to his senses, and then he was tripped by a dog and gnawed at the mud, and was pinned to the ground by the ambushing yamen.

Qin Huai outside the door bent down with a smile and said, "Shopkeeper Shen, what are you singing about? These black clothes and black headscarves, could it be a new style in the store, are you here to try them on?"

Shopkeeper Shen panted heavily and struggled desperately, but was held down by several strong yamen servants, unable to struggle at all.He hissed: "You bastards, you don't let people live, you drive people to death!" It was obvious that the sudden despair almost scared him crazy.

Qin Huai had already straightened up, but when he heard the words, he suddenly bent down and grabbed the shopkeeper Shen by the collar, and said word by word: "Who won't give people a way to live? Huh? If you didn't cheat in the casino, let Wan Wan Kui saw it, can he catch you? Ah? He threatened you and asked you for money. If you don’t give it, you won’t give it.

Shopkeeper Shen made her blush so hard that she almost lost her breath.Seeing this, Zhan Zhao, who had been watching from the side, stepped forward and grabbed Qin Huai: "Master Bao is still waiting for interrogation."

Qin Huai shoved shopkeeper Shen to the ground, and cursed: "The ultimate rotten person."

Kaifeng House.

Qin Huai sat on the stone steps in the backyard, lowered his head to grab the grass in the crevices of the stone.

It was almost dawn, and the trial was still going on in the front hall.But Qin Huai couldn't arouse his interest at all.She and Zhao Hengchao were originally involved in this case, but she let Zhan Zhao go.

She didn't want to see Shopkeeper Shen at all.I have been a police officer for so many years, what have I not seen?Why are there murderers, each of them has a good reason.But she just couldn't get used to it, and felt that those people were unreasonable.

In fact, from the very beginning of this case, she could see that the person who died was not Shopkeeper Shen.

The little finger of the left hand of the headless corpse was missing, which is the symbol of You Gang.Later, she learned from the children of the Town God's Temple that the deceased was called Wan Kui, who had spent several days in the casino and lost several hundred taels without even frowning.This is obviously a windfall, either a huge amount or a continuous source.Later she went to Wankui's house again, and learned from his wife that Wankui had cheated on someone recently.

Afterwards, she went to Wantong Casino again, and learned from Xiaodou Sprout, who was watching the back door, that Wan Kui and shopkeeper Shen had a quarrel in the back street a few days ago, and they almost started fighting.

In addition, the hands of the deceased were rough and callused, obviously not the hands of the owner of the cloth shop, and the dog that often barked all night was abnormally silent.Qin Huai speculated that shopkeeper Shen had an argument with Wan Kui because of being blackmailed, and killed Wan Kui in a rage.And because he was afraid of paying his life, he came up with this strategy.

After discussion, Qin Huai and Zhan Zhao agreed that finding the hiding place of shopkeeper Shen is like finding a needle in a haystack, and that if you want to find shopkeeper Shen, you should start with Mrs. Shen Li.So the two of them took advantage of the night to make some unusual noises next to Shen Li's, and Shen Li's guilty conscience sneaked out the next day in a panic.

Zhan Zhao and Qin Huai followed closely, and found that she went out of the city after going around a few times, entered a deserted temple outside the city, and pressed a note with a big stone at the mouth of the well in the courtyard , leave without staying.

Qin Huai took out the note and found out that Mrs. Shen and Li just made an appointment to meet with the shopkeeper Shen, so he arranged for people to lie in ambush at Mrs. Shen's house for several nights.The fugitive murderer was finally caught tonight.

Qin Huai pulled out the last blade of grass, bit it in his mouth, and lay back on the ground, crossing his legs.

The sky was pale, Qin Huai closed his eyes, and heard the sound of the wind blowing on the treetops, the sound of birds chirping, and the sound of Zhan Zhao's footsteps approaching.

"What's the matter, cat here alone?" Zhan Zhao sat down next to Qin Huai, "Not even going to court."

Qin Huai asked sullenly, "The case is over?"

Zhan Zhao sighed, "It's over."

"Oh." Qin Huai sat up halfway, and asked again, "Then he didn't say why he arranged the room as a secret room, so that he would be full after eating?"

Zhan Zhao was speechless: "He said it was to disturb the government's handling of the case."

Qin Huai spat out the grass roots with a "bah" and cursed: "What the hell!"

Zhan Zhao patted Qin Huai on the shoulder: "Forget it, don't make yourself angry."

"I'm not angry." Qin Huai turned her head, "I am, not feeling well. Here." She pointed to her heart.

Zhan Zhao's hand suddenly covered Qin Huai's.
