Yang Mu couldn't understand what Li Luo meant.
Yang Mu continued: "I also reminded Li Luo to leave Yuqiao and King Yingchuan. But..."
He didn't go on, but the result was obvious.Today, Han Jingting has met Li Luo, but he still hasn't left Yuqiao, and he is still staying by Yingchuan King Xie Changying's side.
"It doesn't matter." Han Jingting said: "Do what you need to do next. I will keep an eye on Li Luo."
"Yes." Yang Mu said.
Han Jingting didn't seem to want to stay for a long time, and turned around to leave.
Yang Mu took a step forward, and seemed to have something to say, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated, as if he didn't know how to say it.
Han Jingting stopped, without looking back, and said, "Is there anything else to say?"
Yang Mu said: "Yes... the prince, the prince is still a child, please don't hurt the prince."
Han Jingting smiled, but his back was facing Yang Mu, so Yang Mu couldn't see his smile.
Han Jingting said: "I watched Tang'er grow up, how could I have the heart to hurt him? It would be great if he was always a child, I will never do anything against him. It's just... ..."
He paused at this point: "If he becomes unpredictable and uncontrollable like Li Luo, what can I do?"
After leaving such a sentence, he finally left and went back to Huang's house quietly.
It was very quiet in the second half of the night. Anyway, Li Luo had a good night's sleep. When he opened his eyes again, it was already broad daylight. Xie Changying beside him had long since disappeared, so he should have gotten up.
Li Luo was in a daze, hugged the quilt and stretched his waist, muttering: "One foot as agreed, one foot! The prince is forgetful..."
Li Luo got up, touched his hungry stomach, and was about to wash his face before going to eat breakfast.
He tidied himself up, but he still didn't see Xie Changying coming back, and he didn't know where the prince had gone, so he could only ask Li Wuzheng.
Li Luo opened the door and walked out of the room. Before he took two steps, he heard someone enthusiastically say: "Mr. Li woke up, did you sleep well last night? If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me .”
Li Luo looked up, and Madam Huang came again!
Mrs. Huang was sitting in the gazebo in the yard, of course she was not the only one in the gazebo, Xie Changying and Li Wuzheng were both there, and there were a lot of breakfasts on the table, which looked very rich.
Mrs. Huang said warmly: "I'm here to bring you breakfast. Mr. Li, come and have a taste. I'll bring you what you want."
"Madam Huang, you are being polite." Li Luo walked over with a dry smile.
He took a look at Xie Changying's complexion, it was very bad.
Madam Huang looked as if she wanted to chat with them, and said, "Why did Mr. Li sleep in the prince's room last night? I saw Mr. Li coming out of the prince's room just now."
Li Wuzheng had an expression of watching the excitement, while Xie Changying was expressionless.
Xie Changying said indifferently: "Li Luo is my entourage, so I have the final say on where he is."
"That's the case." Mrs. Huang was blocked by Xie Changying, so she couldn't continue to ask the bottom line.
However, Mrs. Huang still had no intention of leaving. Instead, she sat down and said, "Mr. Li, I don't know how the investigation is going. What are the clues? I heard that Mr. Li is very interested in the Huang family and the tattoo case. I went out to investigate the case last night."
Li Luo felt that he couldn't eat enough breakfast, but this was good, Madam Huang came to the door, and Li Luo was going to try it out.
Li Luo said: "Yes, there are some clues, I heard some rumors, and I am going to ask Mrs. Huang for verification."
"What gossip?" Mrs. Huang asked.
Li Luo said: "I heard some rumors that Mrs. Huang knew Da Furen before, and the relationship between the two of you... doesn't seem to be very good."
"It's really nonsense." Mrs. Huang immediately denied it, and said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Li, I do know Da Furen. I used to be Da Furen's maid, and I have been with Da Furen for many, many years. My relationship is really good! Say yes It’s not an exaggeration to love sisters! How could the relationship not be so good? They are all some servants who chew their tongues and slander the friendship between my two sisters. They are just jealous. Alas, this human heart..."
Mrs. Huang didn't hide it, and she admitted that she had been a maid before, and she seemed to speak briskly, and she was also very good at talking.
"So it's like this..." Li Luo nodded with a smile and said, "It seems that there are quite a lot of people who are jealous of Mrs. Huang. Some people have said a lot of bad things about Mrs. Huang."
Mrs. Huang was a little angry, and said: "Did that Ah Hu say it! I guessed it was him. What did he tell you? He just has trouble with me."
"It's not Ah Hu." Li Luo said: "I heard that the eldest lady disappeared at that time, and it was rumored that she had eloped with a man. But some people said that this news was false, that it was Mrs. Huang who slandered the eldest lady..."
Before finishing speaking, Mrs. Huang said angrily: "Nonsense! Why did I slander her! Mr. Li, let me tell you the truth! Da Furen did go to see a man, and then never returned. It's not something I say or not, it's a fact!"
Li Luo looked very interested, and said, "Can you tell me more about it?"
Mrs. Huang nodded and said, "Young Master Li wants to hear, so I will tell you."
According to what Mrs. Huang said, it was a man from a foreign country, and then he came to the Huang family. When the lady saw him, she seemed to have lost her soul, thinking about him all day and night.
"I was still Da Furen's maid at the time, and I have dissuaded Da Furen many times for this matter!" Madam Huang said worriedly, "Master is so kind to Da Furen, how can Da Furen love him again! I just Dissuade the eldest lady, but the eldest lady... the eldest lady was very angry, scolded me, beat me, and didn't listen to me at all."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Huang covered her eyes with a handkerchief, and actually cried.
Li Luo stared at her face for a few seconds, as if he noticed something interesting.
Mrs. Huang continued: "Later, Da Furen received a letter from that man. They even made an appointment for an hour. I saw Da Furen was going out in the middle of the night, so I tried to dissuade her again, but Da Furen still wouldn't listen." , just go there, go meet that man privately! And then..."
Mrs. Huang paused at this point, froze for a moment, and said: "There will be no more coming. Da Furen never came back, and eloped with that man."
Li Luo nodded.
Mrs. Huang said: "Mr. Li, you have to believe my words, how dare I deceive you. What I said is the truth, absolutely true. Oh, by the way, if you don't believe it, you can ask the county magistrate Cao .”
"County Cao?" Li Luo was a little surprised, and said, "Is this matter related to County Magistrate Cao?"
"That's not what it means." Mrs. Huang said: "I heard that the man from another country went to the yamen after he came to the town. But it was not to avenge his grievances, but to meet friends. I heard it was Cao A good friend of the county magistrate in the past. If you don’t believe what I said, you can ask county magistrate Cao if there is such a thing.”
Mrs. Huang brought out witnesses, which sounds like a lot more credibility.
Li Luo nodded and said: "It seems that Mrs. Huang was indeed wronged."
"That's not true." Mrs. Huang said.
"And what happened last night." Li Luo suddenly mentioned last night.
Last night, Mrs. Huang's quilt was suddenly covered with bloodstains. It was very evil. When Mrs. Huang thought about it, her face turned pale, and she said, "I don't know who is pretending to be a ghost. It's so disgusting. If I know who did it Ghost, he must have skinned him."
Madam Huang chatted with Li Luo for a long time. Xie Changying originally sat and drank tea peacefully, but after drinking three cups, she couldn't drink anymore, and couldn't calm down.
Xie Changying's face was sour, she stood up straight away.
Li Luo looked at him strangely and said, "My lord, where are you going?"
Xie Changying said: "This king still has things to do."
"I'll go with the prince." Li Luo hurried over.
Seeing that Li Luo wanted to leave, Mrs. Huang seemed a little bit reluctant, but she couldn't stay any longer, so she had to leave too.
Li Wuzheng saw that Mrs. Huang was gone, so he also ran over, and said, "I think this Mrs. Huang is very powerful, and she didn't say a word of truth. She cried just now, but I saw her cry It's so fake."
Li Luo laughed, and Li Wuzheng was a little terrified of being laughed at.
Li Wuzheng said: "I'm not right? Don't you think that what Mrs. Huang is telling is the truth?"
"It's not necessarily true." Li Luo said, "It's half true. But there is one very interesting place."
Xie Changying asked, "What?"
Li Luo said, "Madam Huang really cried just now, she was very sad."
"Very sad?" Li Wuzheng was taken aback.
Xie Changying was also a little surprised. He felt that even if Mrs. Huang was not a bad person, she was definitely not a good person, and she was extremely scheming.
Li Luo said: "That's why I said it was interesting. Madam Huang didn't know what she thought of when she said that. She really cried, and she was really sad."
"Then what did she think of?" Li Wuzheng asked curiously.
Li Luo said confidently, "How would I know?"
Li Wuzheng: "..." I thought Li Luo knew everything.
Xie Changying said lightly, "Let's go out first."
"Are you going up the mountain again?" Li Luo asked.
Xie Changying said: "Go to the yamen today."
"Huh? Go to the Yamen?" Li Luo hurriedly caught up and said, "Great, I want to go to the Yamen too."
Today, County Magistrate Cao will come down from the mountain and go back to the yamen temporarily to deal with some matters, so Xie Changying will also go to the yamen. It just so happens that Li Luo is a little concerned about what Mrs. Huang just said, so he wants to go to the yamen to inquire.
Xie Changying nodded and said, "Let's go."
Li Luo followed, and Li Wuzheng also followed.
Xie Changying glanced back, and said to Li Wuzheng, "Don't go, keep an eye on the prince."
"No way..." Li Wuzheng was unwilling, and said, "The job of following up has been given to the guards, so what else should I do?"
It was rare for Li Luo to help Li Wuzheng speak: "That's right, the guards are so good at martial arts, there must be no problem in keeping an eye on them, there is no need for Master Li."
Li Wuzheng was almost moved, just a little bit.
Before he could be moved, Li Luo had something to say: "After all, Mr. Li is too bad at martial arts! It will only slow you down!"
It seemed that Li Luo really held a grudge, he still remembered the matter of telling Yang Mu to run away because of Li Wuzheng, a pig teammate, on the mountain.
"What a big deal!" Li Wuzheng lacked confidence, and said, "I have already sent someone out to find Yang Mu. If he is still nearby, he must be caught!"
"Go first."
Xie Changying didn't have time to listen to their quarrel, so he left the Huang's house first.
Li Luo and Li Wuzheng followed, and they all went to the Yamen together.
The yamen looked very busy, with many people coming in and out.Because of the disaster, the yamen looks like it has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has collapsed for a little while. Now it is still being repaired, and it looks in a mess.
Several yamen servants and police officers were at the door, and as soon as they came out, they saw Yingchuan King Xie Changying.They met Xie Changying on the mountain with Mr. Cao yesterday, so they recognized him.
The yamen servants hurried over and said, "My lord, you are here, please come in quickly."
Among these yamen servants, a young man looked at him strangely.But he has a face that is so memorable that it is impossible not to notice it.
Li Luo saw the young man at a glance, and almost blurted out...
"You look so pretty!"
Li Luo almost blurted out, the person who spoke his mind was Li Wuzheng next to him.
Li Luo's catchphrase was snatched away by Li Wuzheng today, Li Luo turned around to look at Li Wuzheng in surprise, and saw Li Wuzheng's obsessed face, he was just stunned.
That young man looked like a catcher in the yamen. He was wearing an official uniform. He had a tall and straight figure, a thin waist, but broad shoulders, and a pair of long legs. He was a head taller than Li Luo, almost the same as Xie Luo. Long tassels are generally tall.
Such a tall and straight young man, but with a delicate and beautiful face, full of the sense of cold wind.
Li Wuzheng has always had a reputation as a playboy. After leaving the capital for a long time, it was rare to see such a beauty, who couldn't hold back his words.
Hearing Li Wuzheng's voice, the young man turned his head and glanced at him indifferently.
"Tsk..." Li Luo whispered to Li Wuzheng, "Why are you shouting so loudly, he's upset."
Li Wuzheng also found out that he had done something wrong, after all, there were so many yamen servants around him.
Those yamen servants couldn't help laughing when they heard Li Wuzheng's words, they teased the young man with a smile, and said, "Xiao Cao, this lord praised you for being good-looking."
It seems that the young man's surname is Cao, which is the same surname as the county magistrate Cao. I don't know if it is a coincidence.
When Detective Cao heard the ridicule, his face turned even colder. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
It was embarrassing now, and the yamen servants didn't expect it to be like this, and said: "Don't be weird, my lord, don't be weird, my lords. Xiao Cao's temperament is like this, in fact..."
"no problem, no problem."
Xie Changying didn't speak, but Li Wuzheng said he was being generous, and waved his hands and said, "Let's go in and talk."
Xie Changying walked in front, Li Wuzheng and Li Luo walked behind.
Li Luo said: "Lord Li, you look very wretched now."
Li Wuzheng: "..."
Li Wuyi explained: "What's wretched, everyone has a love for beauty, I just appreciate it."
Li Luo felt that Li Wuzheng stole his lines again. Could it be that he was so obscene and unbelievable when he said this before?
Li Wuzheng sighed and said: "This arrester Cao is like a flower with thorns, I..."
"Lord Li." Li Luo interrupted him, saying: "Those with thorns are not necessarily flowers, what if they are maces?"
Li Wuzheng: "..." The atmosphere was ruined by Li Luo.
Xie Changying stopped, looked back at them, and said, "Don't mutter, just follow."
"Oh!" Li Luo agreed, and immediately trotted to follow, very well-behaved.
Seeing his reaction, Xie Changying was inexplicably happy.
The yamen servant led them in, and the county magistrate Cao rushed out to welcome them. Not only the county magistrate Cao came, but also the arrester Cao quickly followed.
Li Wuzheng was overjoyed when he saw that Captain Cao had returned quickly.
Cao county magistrate said: "Your Majesty, please come inside."
Today Xie Changying came to see magistrate Cao on official business, and of course Li Luo still wanted to ask magistrate Cao some things.
County Magistrate Cao invited them in, and after everyone was seated, Captain Cao quickly brought them tea.
Only then did County Magistrate Cao remember, and said, "My lords, my lords. I almost forgot to introduce him. This is the adopted son of the lower official, and he is also a fast arrester in the yamen. His name is Cao Zhishui."
Li Luo had heard before that the County Magistrate Cao's wife did not remarry after her death, and he was always alone.Later, his daughter passed away unfortunately, leaving him alone.
However, County Magistrate Cao adopted a adopted son in his early years, that is, Cao Zhishui, and he has no blood relationship with County Magistrate Cao.
Cao Zhishui didn't like to talk, nodded indifferently, and then retreated to stand behind.Li Luo obediently sat beside him, waiting for Xie Changying to talk about the serious things first, and when he finished talking about the serious things, Li Luo would ask about the Huang family.
Speaking of this serious matter, Li Luo's waist and back hurt from waiting, and he almost thought that he would wait until the sun went down.
Xie Changying finally said: "Magistrate Cao, there are still some things I want to ask."
Cao county magistrate said: "My lord, please tell me."
"It's about the Huang family." Xie Changying said.
Mrs. Huang mentioned a man who she said was a good friend of Magistrate Cao, and Li Luo came here specifically to verify.
It was all ten years ago. When the magistrate Cao heard it, he obviously still remembered it, but he looked a little surprised.
Li Luo asked, "What's wrong?"
County Magistrate Cao said: "To tell you the truth, I do know this person. This person is an old friend I met before I arrived at Yuqiao and took office."
That friend was a classmate of County Magistrate Cao, but he had never been able to get a good reputation, so he had to go home and start a business.
After not seeing each other for many years, County Magistrate Cao arrived at Yuqiao to take up his post. Unexpectedly, the friend passed by the bridge on his way to do business, and the two met rarely.
Li Luo said: "He is doing business through bridges."
Magistrate Cao nodded and said, "That's indeed the case. What I'm curious about is how could he have anything to do with the eldest lady of the Huang family? It's absolutely impossible."
According to the county magistrate Cao, the friend had already married and had children at that time, and he did not come alone, but dragged his family and passed by here.
"Take care of the family?" Li Wuzheng was taken aback, it was different from what Mrs. Huang said.
County magistrate Cao continued: "When he came, he did ask me about Mrs. Huang's affairs. But he was entrusted with sending a letter to Mrs. Huang."
The good friend of the county magistrate Cao is a businessman who happened to be passing the bridge, because he was entrusted to deliver a letter to Huang's house.However, County Magistrate Cao told his friends at the time that it might be inappropriate for him to come to the door by a man, which would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Cao County Magistrate said again: "Although my good friend went into business later, he is a scholar after all, so he will never do anything inappropriate."
The two of them made up their minds, and in the end the friend handed the letter to the eldest lady, but he didn't see the eldest lady at all.
"Later," County Magistrate Cao said, "he was too short on time. He stayed here for a day and then left. He went on the road the next day. He never met the eldest lady of the Huang family, let alone have any contact with the eldest lady." .”
According to County Magistrate Cao, the time was not right at all. My friend stayed in Yuqiao for only one day, and the lady disappeared a few days later. The theory of elopement is completely untenable.
Li Luo said: "He didn't see the eldest lady at all?"
"It's absolutely true." County Magistrate Cao said, "I heard that the letter was given to Mr. Huang, please pass it on to Mrs. Huang."
Li Luo nodded: "I see."
Li Wuzheng whispered: "I'll just say that Mrs. Huang has not said a word of the truth, and she just made up and slandered the reputation of the eldest lady. That's not the case at all."
It seems that Mrs. Huang lied.
"That's right." Li Luo seemed to remember something, and said, "Lord Cao, can you give me a map of the mountain?"
"Map?" Magistrate Cao was a little puzzled.
Li Luo wanted the map of Yuqiao Mountain, the locations of the various mines, the locations where the laborers were stationed overnight, and the places where the four crimes took place.
Li Luo said: "Please mark it on the map for me. By the way, there are still a few roads up the mountain. Please mark it for me too, thank you."
"My lord, you're being polite." Magistrate Cao turned to Cao Zhishui and said, "Go get a map and mark it out according to what your lord wants."
"Yes." Cao Zhishui agreed.
Cao Zhishui took the map, but when he came back, Cao County Magistrate had disappeared.
County Magistrate Cao was too busy. Hearing that something unexpected needed to be dealt with, he left in a hurry. He left a message to ask Cao Zhishui to help them solve the case. After all, Cao Zhishui was the fast arrester.
Li Wuzheng was the happiest, and immediately said with a smile: "Captain Cao, sit here and draw slowly, draw slowly."
Cao Zhishui didn't have any expression on his face. He sat down and began to draw pictures deftly, circling dots on the map.
Li Luo sat by the side and watched Cao Zhishui's drawing very seriously.Li Wuzheng, on the other hand, couldn't sit still, and walked around trying to strike up a conversation.
Li Wuzheng said: "Hurry up Cao, we went up the mountain yesterday, why didn't we see you?" Cao Zhishui said calmly, "I had a mission a few days ago, so I didn't have time to go up the mountain."
"So that's it, Captain Cao looks very busy." Li Wuzheng said.
Cao Zhishui let out a "hmm" and said nothing.
The air froze for a while.
Cao Zhishui painted very seriously, and it seemed like he couldn't finish painting in a while.Li Wuzheng exaggeratedly said: "My lord, it's past lunch time, are you hungry?"
Li Luo smiled and said, "Not hungry, not at all."
All the words Li Wuzheng had prepared were stuck in his throat, and he gave Li Luo a hard look.
Li Luo chuckled, and said that you are so narrow-minded, you want to distract me and the prince, so that you can spend time with the beauty alone, so you won't give you this chance.
Xie Changying said, "I'm a little hungry."
Seeing that it was already afternoon, and it would be sunset soon, Xie Changying didn't eat breakfast, Madam Huang kept talking non-stop, Xie Changying really had no appetite.
"Come with me." Xie Changying said lightly, then stood up and left the room.
When Li Luo saw it, he had no choice but to follow obediently and said, "I'm here, I'm here."
Now it's all right, there are really only two people left, Li Wuzheng and Cao Zhishui.
"My lord!" Li Luo followed, with a worried look on his face, and said, "Your lord, you can't help the evildoers just because Mr. Li is your good friend."
Xie Changying glanced at him, but said nothing.
Li Luo said: "Look, my lord, Mr. Li looks like he is drooling across the river, his eyes are glued to Catcher Cao! This is very dangerous!"
Xie Changying sneered, and said, "I think your eyes are also glued to Captain Cao."
After Xie Changying said this, she suddenly felt how sour her tone was.
Li Luo was still arguing with reason, saying: "I just appreciate it, there is no other meaning. But Master Li is different, Master Li is so good at martial arts, and now they are alone and widowed. Da Qi, what should I do if I get rough on Cao Cao?"
Xie Changying laughed again, and said, "Then you can rest assured, Cao Bukuai's martial arts are superior to Li Wuzheng."
"Forehead……"
Li Luo blinked and said, "Really?"
"Really." Xie Changying said.
"Wow." Li Luo was full of surprise, and said, "Captain Cao is not only good-looking, but also has such powerful martial arts. Then I don't have to worry."
Xie Changying was upset when he heard him praise Cao Zhishui, and said, "Excellent? Cao Zhishui's martial arts can only be said to be mediocre."
Li Luo immediately flattered him, saying: "Of course the prince is the most powerful in martial arts! The prince is the most powerful!"
They were going to go outside to find something to eat to fill their stomachs, but before they left the yamen, they heard several yamen servants gather together to complain.
The yamen servants sat on the ground, muttering softly: "Cao Zhishui is so annoying!"
"Yeah, no one in sight."
It seems that Cao Zhishui's temperament is not pleasant, and many yamen servants in the yamen don't like him.
"Keep your voice down, and let others hear you, Cao Zhishui is the son of your lord."
"What kind of adult's son is just picked up. You don't know, let me tell you, Cao Zhishui's own father is a murderer!"
Li Luo pricked up his ears, he has always been very interested in gossip.
Cao Zhishui is indeed not the son of the county magistrate Cao, but a adopted son. He has a rather withdrawn personality, rarely talks and is indifferent, but he is very good-looking.
I heard that many girls in the town liked Cao Zhishui, which made many yamen servants unconvinced and a little jealous of Cao Zhishui, so it was inevitable that they would gather together and speak ill of Cao Zhishui.
"Hey, it's just this, we already knew about it. If you don't ask, no one in the yamen knows."
"You also know that Cao Zhishui's father is a murderer, or our County Magistrate Cao is too kind."
"How can you take in this kind of murderer's child? Maybe it's an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."
Li Luo was a little annoyed when he heard that these people were making up other people behind their backs, their faces were really ugly.
However, Li Luo endured for a long time and did not go out to seek justice.He is also a smart person. If he goes out to help Cao Zhishui to get ahead at this time, those government servants will definitely give in, but they must also be jealous in their hearts.
Li Luo is someone close to King Yingchuan, so the yamen servants naturally dare not hate him, they will only blame Cao Zhishui in a few days.
So worth the candle.
Xie Changying could tell what Li Luo was thinking with just one glance, and said calmly, "What's the matter. There are not enough people on the mountain, I think these yamen servants are very free, and I will send them to the mountain to carry stones later, that's all."
Li Luo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "My lord is really powerful! He's also too smart! I can tell from the first look that these people are full and have nothing to do. Let them go up the mountain to consume their energy, so they don't have time to gossip."
"Speaking of..." Li Luo said: "I don't think Detective Cao is really cold-tempered, he looks more like a child who lacks love. He needs someone to warm him up."
When he said this, he heard Xie Changying cough, and Li Luo looked back, feeling a little embarrassed.
It really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there, and the child who lacks love is holding a map and walking over.
Li Luo immediately shut up, with a look on his face that nothing happened.
Li Wuzheng followed Cao Zhishui, and Cao Zhishui handed the map to Li Luo, saying, "Here, the map."
Li Luo picked it up, looked at it, and said in detail, "Thank you. As a thank you, why don't we treat you to a meal."
"Okay, okay." Li Wuzheng was the first to agree, his face full of joy.
Cao Zhishui said coldly, "No need."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but he stopped in his tracks, looked at Li Luo and said, "I don't lack love, I don't need others to be warm, and I don't need others to like me."
Li Luo: "..." My lord sincerely does not deceive me, Cao Zhishui's martial arts is indeed good, and he can hear it from so far away.
Cao Zhishui's attitude was very strong, and Xie Changying was a little unhappy. Although he was not the one being accused, but...
Li Luo wasn't unhappy, but he wasn't a person who would be deflated casually.
Li Luo smiled and said, "It seems that Captain Cao still has the characteristic of being stubborn."
Cao Zhishui had a bad look.
Li Luo smiled and said, "Captain Cao has been standing behind Cao county magistrate just now, behaved well. I observed you, you are really straight, but..."
Cao Zhishui kept his hands drooping all the time, standing very well, almost motionless, and seemed to be very strict with himself.But Li Luo found an interesting thing.
Li Luo said: "Occasionally, you will unconsciously touch your leg with the palm of your hand."
Cao Zhishui frowned.
Li Luo said: "The act of touching the legs is a response to the desire to be touched and hugged by others."
Cao Zhishui said: "Nonsense."
It's just that when he was talking, he subconsciously folded his drooping hands around his chest.
Li Luo said again: "Captain Cao looks very indifferent and always rejects people thousands of miles away. That is a sign that you don't trust others, and it is also a sign that you are not loved. Because you have been alienated over time, so You are used to such a communication distance, and you can't adapt to the sudden intimacy, right?"
"Nonsense," Cao Zhishui said.
Li Luo continued: "Actually, indifference is just a shell to protect yourself. No matter how indifferent you look on the outside, you will be so fragile inside. You just don't want to be discovered by others, right?"
"Bullshit!"
It was the third time Cao Zhishui commented on Li Luo like this, and then he stopped staying and fled.
Li Wuzheng called Cao Zhishui, but it was conceivable that Cao Zhishui ignored him at all and left in a hurry.
Li Wuzheng said: "I'm talking about Li Luo, your mouth is really... You're about to make Catcher Cao cry. Did you see that Catcher Cao was scared away by you?"
Li Luo was a little proud, and said, "That means I'm right."
Xie Changying glanced at Li Luo with complicated eyes, and said, "I only saw Cao Zhishui once, so I know him that way."
Li Luo chuckled and said, "Of course it's impossible. In fact, what Cao Zhishui said is right, I'm talking nonsense."
"What?" Li Wuzheng was taken aback, and said, "Nonsense? Then you made Cao Zhishui cry? I think the words are quite accurate, and every sentence should have pierced Cao Zhishui's heart."
Li Luo was very brazen and said, "This is called the Barnum effect."
"Eight what?" Li Wuzheng couldn't understand.
Li Luo said: "It means that people are very easy to believe in a general and common personality description, thinking that this personality description is particularly suitable for their own characteristics. Even if the description is particularly empty, it doesn't matter."
"Yeah, I still don't understand." Li Wuzheng was confused, turned to look at Xie Changying, and said, "My lord, do you understand?"
To be honest, Xie Changying didn't understand either, there were very few things he didn't understand, and every time Li Luo spoke, he didn't understand everything.
In fact, the Barnum effect is well understood. An example is "horoscope".Many people believe in things like horoscopes, and feel that they are very accurate, and feel that every sentence hits their own vitals.
Most of these horoscopes, however, paint empty, fanciful, undetailed characters.But everyone felt that they must be talking about themselves, so they didn't run away.
Li Luo said: "So, I was talking nonsense just now. The more empty the words, the more scared Cao Zhishui became. But I'm right, he really lacks love, longs to be hugged, but is far away from others outside."
Li Wuzheng seemed to understand but half understood, pointed to himself, and said, "Then can I take this opportunity to warm up Catcher Cao?"
Li Luo said: "Be careful that you will be beaten up by the arrester Cao inhumanely."
Li Wuzheng: "..."
Xie Changying couldn't stand their conversation anymore, and said, "Speak seriously. What do you want a map for?"
Li Luo picked up the map and said, "Of course it is to confirm one thing."
Li Luo looked at the map carefully, and said: "In the case of the tattoo, the four victims all died on the mountain, all of them had tattoos on their bodies, and the skins where the tattoos were located were all cut off."
Xie Changying nodded and said, "Indeed."
Li Luo shook the map and said, "The murderer should be someone from the mountain."
"What do you mean?" Xie Changying frowned.
Li Luo said: "If you look at the map, the mountain road in Yuqiao Mountain is rugged, coupled with heavy rain and landslides, it is already difficult to get up and down."
Indeed, it is not easy to go up to Yuqiao Mountain. Li Luo and the others went up to the mountain once before, but Li Luo was exhausted.
Because the mountain road is difficult to travel, all the hard workers sent live on the mountain and stay in the mountain at night, and the four dead were also killed on the mountain.
Li Luo said: "The mountain road is so difficult to walk, and there are so many people living on the mountain. If someone goes up the mountain to kill someone, and then goes down the mountain to leave, it will be easy to be discovered. It is impossible to be silent four times. The dragon sees the head but does not see the tail."
Xie Changying nodded, and said, "That's true. Because we are in a hurry, there will be some coolies transporting stone and wood at night. If someone goes up and down the mountain so many times, it is unreasonable not to be discovered."
Li Luo said: "So I guess, the murderer should be a person on the mountain, and it is easy to commit crimes by mixing among them."
"Could it be one of the coolies?" Li Wuzheng said.
Li Luo said: "It's not rigorous to say that, Cao county magistrate and many yamen servants in the yamen are also on the mountain, so it's all possible."
"This..." Li Wuzheng said: "But it's not right, what's the matter with the eldest lady?"
The eldest lady also died. The body was found on the mountain, with a piece of skin missing from her arm, but the eldest lady had been dead for more than ten years.
Li Wuzheng said: "How did the murderer kill Da Furen? Let me tell you, Madam Huang is the most suspect in Da Furen's case. But Madam Huang doesn't live on the mountain, so it's impossible to kill someone."
"Didn't you say it last time?" Li Luo said, "The Da Furen and the tattooing case should have nothing to do with it."
The eldest lady's skin was very different from those of the four people.The time was also wrong, Li Luo felt that no matter whether it was a coincidence or a copycat crime, it should not be the same murderer.
Li Luo was thoughtful, and said: "Madam Huang's case is second to Mrs. Huang's. I think it is necessary to ask Mr. Huang."
"Master Huang?" Li Wuzheng was confused.
Mrs. Huang lied, and probably told a lot of lies, not just how little they saw.
But Li Luo felt that the biggest problem right now was not Madam Huang, but Master Huang.
Li Luo explained: "Back then there was no private meeting with Mrs. Huang. Mr. Huang should know this matter better than anyone else. The letter was handed over to Mrs. Huang, and Mr. Huang handed it over to Mrs. Huang. So Mr. Huang definitely knew about it. The eldest lady is innocent. But why does Mr. Huang seem to believe that the eldest lady stole someone and really eloped with others? Isn't it suspicious?"
Xie Changying said, "That's true."
"What about Mrs. Huang?" Li Wuzheng said: "Don't you think she is also suspicious? She is full of lies and misleads us everywhere."
Li Luo said: "Suspicious, of course very suspicious. But..."
Li Luo changed his tone and said: "It is not accurate to say that it is misleading, I would rather
Yang Mu continued: "I also reminded Li Luo to leave Yuqiao and King Yingchuan. But..."
He didn't go on, but the result was obvious.Today, Han Jingting has met Li Luo, but he still hasn't left Yuqiao, and he is still staying by Yingchuan King Xie Changying's side.
"It doesn't matter." Han Jingting said: "Do what you need to do next. I will keep an eye on Li Luo."
"Yes." Yang Mu said.
Han Jingting didn't seem to want to stay for a long time, and turned around to leave.
Yang Mu took a step forward, and seemed to have something to say, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated, as if he didn't know how to say it.
Han Jingting stopped, without looking back, and said, "Is there anything else to say?"
Yang Mu said: "Yes... the prince, the prince is still a child, please don't hurt the prince."
Han Jingting smiled, but his back was facing Yang Mu, so Yang Mu couldn't see his smile.
Han Jingting said: "I watched Tang'er grow up, how could I have the heart to hurt him? It would be great if he was always a child, I will never do anything against him. It's just... ..."
He paused at this point: "If he becomes unpredictable and uncontrollable like Li Luo, what can I do?"
After leaving such a sentence, he finally left and went back to Huang's house quietly.
It was very quiet in the second half of the night. Anyway, Li Luo had a good night's sleep. When he opened his eyes again, it was already broad daylight. Xie Changying beside him had long since disappeared, so he should have gotten up.
Li Luo was in a daze, hugged the quilt and stretched his waist, muttering: "One foot as agreed, one foot! The prince is forgetful..."
Li Luo got up, touched his hungry stomach, and was about to wash his face before going to eat breakfast.
He tidied himself up, but he still didn't see Xie Changying coming back, and he didn't know where the prince had gone, so he could only ask Li Wuzheng.
Li Luo opened the door and walked out of the room. Before he took two steps, he heard someone enthusiastically say: "Mr. Li woke up, did you sleep well last night? If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me .”
Li Luo looked up, and Madam Huang came again!
Mrs. Huang was sitting in the gazebo in the yard, of course she was not the only one in the gazebo, Xie Changying and Li Wuzheng were both there, and there were a lot of breakfasts on the table, which looked very rich.
Mrs. Huang said warmly: "I'm here to bring you breakfast. Mr. Li, come and have a taste. I'll bring you what you want."
"Madam Huang, you are being polite." Li Luo walked over with a dry smile.
He took a look at Xie Changying's complexion, it was very bad.
Madam Huang looked as if she wanted to chat with them, and said, "Why did Mr. Li sleep in the prince's room last night? I saw Mr. Li coming out of the prince's room just now."
Li Wuzheng had an expression of watching the excitement, while Xie Changying was expressionless.
Xie Changying said indifferently: "Li Luo is my entourage, so I have the final say on where he is."
"That's the case." Mrs. Huang was blocked by Xie Changying, so she couldn't continue to ask the bottom line.
However, Mrs. Huang still had no intention of leaving. Instead, she sat down and said, "Mr. Li, I don't know how the investigation is going. What are the clues? I heard that Mr. Li is very interested in the Huang family and the tattoo case. I went out to investigate the case last night."
Li Luo felt that he couldn't eat enough breakfast, but this was good, Madam Huang came to the door, and Li Luo was going to try it out.
Li Luo said: "Yes, there are some clues, I heard some rumors, and I am going to ask Mrs. Huang for verification."
"What gossip?" Mrs. Huang asked.
Li Luo said: "I heard some rumors that Mrs. Huang knew Da Furen before, and the relationship between the two of you... doesn't seem to be very good."
"It's really nonsense." Mrs. Huang immediately denied it, and said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Li, I do know Da Furen. I used to be Da Furen's maid, and I have been with Da Furen for many, many years. My relationship is really good! Say yes It’s not an exaggeration to love sisters! How could the relationship not be so good? They are all some servants who chew their tongues and slander the friendship between my two sisters. They are just jealous. Alas, this human heart..."
Mrs. Huang didn't hide it, and she admitted that she had been a maid before, and she seemed to speak briskly, and she was also very good at talking.
"So it's like this..." Li Luo nodded with a smile and said, "It seems that there are quite a lot of people who are jealous of Mrs. Huang. Some people have said a lot of bad things about Mrs. Huang."
Mrs. Huang was a little angry, and said: "Did that Ah Hu say it! I guessed it was him. What did he tell you? He just has trouble with me."
"It's not Ah Hu." Li Luo said: "I heard that the eldest lady disappeared at that time, and it was rumored that she had eloped with a man. But some people said that this news was false, that it was Mrs. Huang who slandered the eldest lady..."
Before finishing speaking, Mrs. Huang said angrily: "Nonsense! Why did I slander her! Mr. Li, let me tell you the truth! Da Furen did go to see a man, and then never returned. It's not something I say or not, it's a fact!"
Li Luo looked very interested, and said, "Can you tell me more about it?"
Mrs. Huang nodded and said, "Young Master Li wants to hear, so I will tell you."
According to what Mrs. Huang said, it was a man from a foreign country, and then he came to the Huang family. When the lady saw him, she seemed to have lost her soul, thinking about him all day and night.
"I was still Da Furen's maid at the time, and I have dissuaded Da Furen many times for this matter!" Madam Huang said worriedly, "Master is so kind to Da Furen, how can Da Furen love him again! I just Dissuade the eldest lady, but the eldest lady... the eldest lady was very angry, scolded me, beat me, and didn't listen to me at all."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Huang covered her eyes with a handkerchief, and actually cried.
Li Luo stared at her face for a few seconds, as if he noticed something interesting.
Mrs. Huang continued: "Later, Da Furen received a letter from that man. They even made an appointment for an hour. I saw Da Furen was going out in the middle of the night, so I tried to dissuade her again, but Da Furen still wouldn't listen." , just go there, go meet that man privately! And then..."
Mrs. Huang paused at this point, froze for a moment, and said: "There will be no more coming. Da Furen never came back, and eloped with that man."
Li Luo nodded.
Mrs. Huang said: "Mr. Li, you have to believe my words, how dare I deceive you. What I said is the truth, absolutely true. Oh, by the way, if you don't believe it, you can ask the county magistrate Cao .”
"County Cao?" Li Luo was a little surprised, and said, "Is this matter related to County Magistrate Cao?"
"That's not what it means." Mrs. Huang said: "I heard that the man from another country went to the yamen after he came to the town. But it was not to avenge his grievances, but to meet friends. I heard it was Cao A good friend of the county magistrate in the past. If you don’t believe what I said, you can ask county magistrate Cao if there is such a thing.”
Mrs. Huang brought out witnesses, which sounds like a lot more credibility.
Li Luo nodded and said: "It seems that Mrs. Huang was indeed wronged."
"That's not true." Mrs. Huang said.
"And what happened last night." Li Luo suddenly mentioned last night.
Last night, Mrs. Huang's quilt was suddenly covered with bloodstains. It was very evil. When Mrs. Huang thought about it, her face turned pale, and she said, "I don't know who is pretending to be a ghost. It's so disgusting. If I know who did it Ghost, he must have skinned him."
Madam Huang chatted with Li Luo for a long time. Xie Changying originally sat and drank tea peacefully, but after drinking three cups, she couldn't drink anymore, and couldn't calm down.
Xie Changying's face was sour, she stood up straight away.
Li Luo looked at him strangely and said, "My lord, where are you going?"
Xie Changying said: "This king still has things to do."
"I'll go with the prince." Li Luo hurried over.
Seeing that Li Luo wanted to leave, Mrs. Huang seemed a little bit reluctant, but she couldn't stay any longer, so she had to leave too.
Li Wuzheng saw that Mrs. Huang was gone, so he also ran over, and said, "I think this Mrs. Huang is very powerful, and she didn't say a word of truth. She cried just now, but I saw her cry It's so fake."
Li Luo laughed, and Li Wuzheng was a little terrified of being laughed at.
Li Wuzheng said: "I'm not right? Don't you think that what Mrs. Huang is telling is the truth?"
"It's not necessarily true." Li Luo said, "It's half true. But there is one very interesting place."
Xie Changying asked, "What?"
Li Luo said, "Madam Huang really cried just now, she was very sad."
"Very sad?" Li Wuzheng was taken aback.
Xie Changying was also a little surprised. He felt that even if Mrs. Huang was not a bad person, she was definitely not a good person, and she was extremely scheming.
Li Luo said: "That's why I said it was interesting. Madam Huang didn't know what she thought of when she said that. She really cried, and she was really sad."
"Then what did she think of?" Li Wuzheng asked curiously.
Li Luo said confidently, "How would I know?"
Li Wuzheng: "..." I thought Li Luo knew everything.
Xie Changying said lightly, "Let's go out first."
"Are you going up the mountain again?" Li Luo asked.
Xie Changying said: "Go to the yamen today."
"Huh? Go to the Yamen?" Li Luo hurriedly caught up and said, "Great, I want to go to the Yamen too."
Today, County Magistrate Cao will come down from the mountain and go back to the yamen temporarily to deal with some matters, so Xie Changying will also go to the yamen. It just so happens that Li Luo is a little concerned about what Mrs. Huang just said, so he wants to go to the yamen to inquire.
Xie Changying nodded and said, "Let's go."
Li Luo followed, and Li Wuzheng also followed.
Xie Changying glanced back, and said to Li Wuzheng, "Don't go, keep an eye on the prince."
"No way..." Li Wuzheng was unwilling, and said, "The job of following up has been given to the guards, so what else should I do?"
It was rare for Li Luo to help Li Wuzheng speak: "That's right, the guards are so good at martial arts, there must be no problem in keeping an eye on them, there is no need for Master Li."
Li Wuzheng was almost moved, just a little bit.
Before he could be moved, Li Luo had something to say: "After all, Mr. Li is too bad at martial arts! It will only slow you down!"
It seemed that Li Luo really held a grudge, he still remembered the matter of telling Yang Mu to run away because of Li Wuzheng, a pig teammate, on the mountain.
"What a big deal!" Li Wuzheng lacked confidence, and said, "I have already sent someone out to find Yang Mu. If he is still nearby, he must be caught!"
"Go first."
Xie Changying didn't have time to listen to their quarrel, so he left the Huang's house first.
Li Luo and Li Wuzheng followed, and they all went to the Yamen together.
The yamen looked very busy, with many people coming in and out.Because of the disaster, the yamen looks like it has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has collapsed for a little while. Now it is still being repaired, and it looks in a mess.
Several yamen servants and police officers were at the door, and as soon as they came out, they saw Yingchuan King Xie Changying.They met Xie Changying on the mountain with Mr. Cao yesterday, so they recognized him.
The yamen servants hurried over and said, "My lord, you are here, please come in quickly."
Among these yamen servants, a young man looked at him strangely.But he has a face that is so memorable that it is impossible not to notice it.
Li Luo saw the young man at a glance, and almost blurted out...
"You look so pretty!"
Li Luo almost blurted out, the person who spoke his mind was Li Wuzheng next to him.
Li Luo's catchphrase was snatched away by Li Wuzheng today, Li Luo turned around to look at Li Wuzheng in surprise, and saw Li Wuzheng's obsessed face, he was just stunned.
That young man looked like a catcher in the yamen. He was wearing an official uniform. He had a tall and straight figure, a thin waist, but broad shoulders, and a pair of long legs. He was a head taller than Li Luo, almost the same as Xie Luo. Long tassels are generally tall.
Such a tall and straight young man, but with a delicate and beautiful face, full of the sense of cold wind.
Li Wuzheng has always had a reputation as a playboy. After leaving the capital for a long time, it was rare to see such a beauty, who couldn't hold back his words.
Hearing Li Wuzheng's voice, the young man turned his head and glanced at him indifferently.
"Tsk..." Li Luo whispered to Li Wuzheng, "Why are you shouting so loudly, he's upset."
Li Wuzheng also found out that he had done something wrong, after all, there were so many yamen servants around him.
Those yamen servants couldn't help laughing when they heard Li Wuzheng's words, they teased the young man with a smile, and said, "Xiao Cao, this lord praised you for being good-looking."
It seems that the young man's surname is Cao, which is the same surname as the county magistrate Cao. I don't know if it is a coincidence.
When Detective Cao heard the ridicule, his face turned even colder. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
It was embarrassing now, and the yamen servants didn't expect it to be like this, and said: "Don't be weird, my lord, don't be weird, my lords. Xiao Cao's temperament is like this, in fact..."
"no problem, no problem."
Xie Changying didn't speak, but Li Wuzheng said he was being generous, and waved his hands and said, "Let's go in and talk."
Xie Changying walked in front, Li Wuzheng and Li Luo walked behind.
Li Luo said: "Lord Li, you look very wretched now."
Li Wuzheng: "..."
Li Wuyi explained: "What's wretched, everyone has a love for beauty, I just appreciate it."
Li Luo felt that Li Wuzheng stole his lines again. Could it be that he was so obscene and unbelievable when he said this before?
Li Wuzheng sighed and said: "This arrester Cao is like a flower with thorns, I..."
"Lord Li." Li Luo interrupted him, saying: "Those with thorns are not necessarily flowers, what if they are maces?"
Li Wuzheng: "..." The atmosphere was ruined by Li Luo.
Xie Changying stopped, looked back at them, and said, "Don't mutter, just follow."
"Oh!" Li Luo agreed, and immediately trotted to follow, very well-behaved.
Seeing his reaction, Xie Changying was inexplicably happy.
The yamen servant led them in, and the county magistrate Cao rushed out to welcome them. Not only the county magistrate Cao came, but also the arrester Cao quickly followed.
Li Wuzheng was overjoyed when he saw that Captain Cao had returned quickly.
Cao county magistrate said: "Your Majesty, please come inside."
Today Xie Changying came to see magistrate Cao on official business, and of course Li Luo still wanted to ask magistrate Cao some things.
County Magistrate Cao invited them in, and after everyone was seated, Captain Cao quickly brought them tea.
Only then did County Magistrate Cao remember, and said, "My lords, my lords. I almost forgot to introduce him. This is the adopted son of the lower official, and he is also a fast arrester in the yamen. His name is Cao Zhishui."
Li Luo had heard before that the County Magistrate Cao's wife did not remarry after her death, and he was always alone.Later, his daughter passed away unfortunately, leaving him alone.
However, County Magistrate Cao adopted a adopted son in his early years, that is, Cao Zhishui, and he has no blood relationship with County Magistrate Cao.
Cao Zhishui didn't like to talk, nodded indifferently, and then retreated to stand behind.Li Luo obediently sat beside him, waiting for Xie Changying to talk about the serious things first, and when he finished talking about the serious things, Li Luo would ask about the Huang family.
Speaking of this serious matter, Li Luo's waist and back hurt from waiting, and he almost thought that he would wait until the sun went down.
Xie Changying finally said: "Magistrate Cao, there are still some things I want to ask."
Cao county magistrate said: "My lord, please tell me."
"It's about the Huang family." Xie Changying said.
Mrs. Huang mentioned a man who she said was a good friend of Magistrate Cao, and Li Luo came here specifically to verify.
It was all ten years ago. When the magistrate Cao heard it, he obviously still remembered it, but he looked a little surprised.
Li Luo asked, "What's wrong?"
County Magistrate Cao said: "To tell you the truth, I do know this person. This person is an old friend I met before I arrived at Yuqiao and took office."
That friend was a classmate of County Magistrate Cao, but he had never been able to get a good reputation, so he had to go home and start a business.
After not seeing each other for many years, County Magistrate Cao arrived at Yuqiao to take up his post. Unexpectedly, the friend passed by the bridge on his way to do business, and the two met rarely.
Li Luo said: "He is doing business through bridges."
Magistrate Cao nodded and said, "That's indeed the case. What I'm curious about is how could he have anything to do with the eldest lady of the Huang family? It's absolutely impossible."
According to the county magistrate Cao, the friend had already married and had children at that time, and he did not come alone, but dragged his family and passed by here.
"Take care of the family?" Li Wuzheng was taken aback, it was different from what Mrs. Huang said.
County magistrate Cao continued: "When he came, he did ask me about Mrs. Huang's affairs. But he was entrusted with sending a letter to Mrs. Huang."
The good friend of the county magistrate Cao is a businessman who happened to be passing the bridge, because he was entrusted to deliver a letter to Huang's house.However, County Magistrate Cao told his friends at the time that it might be inappropriate for him to come to the door by a man, which would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Cao County Magistrate said again: "Although my good friend went into business later, he is a scholar after all, so he will never do anything inappropriate."
The two of them made up their minds, and in the end the friend handed the letter to the eldest lady, but he didn't see the eldest lady at all.
"Later," County Magistrate Cao said, "he was too short on time. He stayed here for a day and then left. He went on the road the next day. He never met the eldest lady of the Huang family, let alone have any contact with the eldest lady." .”
According to County Magistrate Cao, the time was not right at all. My friend stayed in Yuqiao for only one day, and the lady disappeared a few days later. The theory of elopement is completely untenable.
Li Luo said: "He didn't see the eldest lady at all?"
"It's absolutely true." County Magistrate Cao said, "I heard that the letter was given to Mr. Huang, please pass it on to Mrs. Huang."
Li Luo nodded: "I see."
Li Wuzheng whispered: "I'll just say that Mrs. Huang has not said a word of the truth, and she just made up and slandered the reputation of the eldest lady. That's not the case at all."
It seems that Mrs. Huang lied.
"That's right." Li Luo seemed to remember something, and said, "Lord Cao, can you give me a map of the mountain?"
"Map?" Magistrate Cao was a little puzzled.
Li Luo wanted the map of Yuqiao Mountain, the locations of the various mines, the locations where the laborers were stationed overnight, and the places where the four crimes took place.
Li Luo said: "Please mark it on the map for me. By the way, there are still a few roads up the mountain. Please mark it for me too, thank you."
"My lord, you're being polite." Magistrate Cao turned to Cao Zhishui and said, "Go get a map and mark it out according to what your lord wants."
"Yes." Cao Zhishui agreed.
Cao Zhishui took the map, but when he came back, Cao County Magistrate had disappeared.
County Magistrate Cao was too busy. Hearing that something unexpected needed to be dealt with, he left in a hurry. He left a message to ask Cao Zhishui to help them solve the case. After all, Cao Zhishui was the fast arrester.
Li Wuzheng was the happiest, and immediately said with a smile: "Captain Cao, sit here and draw slowly, draw slowly."
Cao Zhishui didn't have any expression on his face. He sat down and began to draw pictures deftly, circling dots on the map.
Li Luo sat by the side and watched Cao Zhishui's drawing very seriously.Li Wuzheng, on the other hand, couldn't sit still, and walked around trying to strike up a conversation.
Li Wuzheng said: "Hurry up Cao, we went up the mountain yesterday, why didn't we see you?" Cao Zhishui said calmly, "I had a mission a few days ago, so I didn't have time to go up the mountain."
"So that's it, Captain Cao looks very busy." Li Wuzheng said.
Cao Zhishui let out a "hmm" and said nothing.
The air froze for a while.
Cao Zhishui painted very seriously, and it seemed like he couldn't finish painting in a while.Li Wuzheng exaggeratedly said: "My lord, it's past lunch time, are you hungry?"
Li Luo smiled and said, "Not hungry, not at all."
All the words Li Wuzheng had prepared were stuck in his throat, and he gave Li Luo a hard look.
Li Luo chuckled, and said that you are so narrow-minded, you want to distract me and the prince, so that you can spend time with the beauty alone, so you won't give you this chance.
Xie Changying said, "I'm a little hungry."
Seeing that it was already afternoon, and it would be sunset soon, Xie Changying didn't eat breakfast, Madam Huang kept talking non-stop, Xie Changying really had no appetite.
"Come with me." Xie Changying said lightly, then stood up and left the room.
When Li Luo saw it, he had no choice but to follow obediently and said, "I'm here, I'm here."
Now it's all right, there are really only two people left, Li Wuzheng and Cao Zhishui.
"My lord!" Li Luo followed, with a worried look on his face, and said, "Your lord, you can't help the evildoers just because Mr. Li is your good friend."
Xie Changying glanced at him, but said nothing.
Li Luo said: "Look, my lord, Mr. Li looks like he is drooling across the river, his eyes are glued to Catcher Cao! This is very dangerous!"
Xie Changying sneered, and said, "I think your eyes are also glued to Captain Cao."
After Xie Changying said this, she suddenly felt how sour her tone was.
Li Luo was still arguing with reason, saying: "I just appreciate it, there is no other meaning. But Master Li is different, Master Li is so good at martial arts, and now they are alone and widowed. Da Qi, what should I do if I get rough on Cao Cao?"
Xie Changying laughed again, and said, "Then you can rest assured, Cao Bukuai's martial arts are superior to Li Wuzheng."
"Forehead……"
Li Luo blinked and said, "Really?"
"Really." Xie Changying said.
"Wow." Li Luo was full of surprise, and said, "Captain Cao is not only good-looking, but also has such powerful martial arts. Then I don't have to worry."
Xie Changying was upset when he heard him praise Cao Zhishui, and said, "Excellent? Cao Zhishui's martial arts can only be said to be mediocre."
Li Luo immediately flattered him, saying: "Of course the prince is the most powerful in martial arts! The prince is the most powerful!"
They were going to go outside to find something to eat to fill their stomachs, but before they left the yamen, they heard several yamen servants gather together to complain.
The yamen servants sat on the ground, muttering softly: "Cao Zhishui is so annoying!"
"Yeah, no one in sight."
It seems that Cao Zhishui's temperament is not pleasant, and many yamen servants in the yamen don't like him.
"Keep your voice down, and let others hear you, Cao Zhishui is the son of your lord."
"What kind of adult's son is just picked up. You don't know, let me tell you, Cao Zhishui's own father is a murderer!"
Li Luo pricked up his ears, he has always been very interested in gossip.
Cao Zhishui is indeed not the son of the county magistrate Cao, but a adopted son. He has a rather withdrawn personality, rarely talks and is indifferent, but he is very good-looking.
I heard that many girls in the town liked Cao Zhishui, which made many yamen servants unconvinced and a little jealous of Cao Zhishui, so it was inevitable that they would gather together and speak ill of Cao Zhishui.
"Hey, it's just this, we already knew about it. If you don't ask, no one in the yamen knows."
"You also know that Cao Zhishui's father is a murderer, or our County Magistrate Cao is too kind."
"How can you take in this kind of murderer's child? Maybe it's an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."
Li Luo was a little annoyed when he heard that these people were making up other people behind their backs, their faces were really ugly.
However, Li Luo endured for a long time and did not go out to seek justice.He is also a smart person. If he goes out to help Cao Zhishui to get ahead at this time, those government servants will definitely give in, but they must also be jealous in their hearts.
Li Luo is someone close to King Yingchuan, so the yamen servants naturally dare not hate him, they will only blame Cao Zhishui in a few days.
So worth the candle.
Xie Changying could tell what Li Luo was thinking with just one glance, and said calmly, "What's the matter. There are not enough people on the mountain, I think these yamen servants are very free, and I will send them to the mountain to carry stones later, that's all."
Li Luo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "My lord is really powerful! He's also too smart! I can tell from the first look that these people are full and have nothing to do. Let them go up the mountain to consume their energy, so they don't have time to gossip."
"Speaking of..." Li Luo said: "I don't think Detective Cao is really cold-tempered, he looks more like a child who lacks love. He needs someone to warm him up."
When he said this, he heard Xie Changying cough, and Li Luo looked back, feeling a little embarrassed.
It really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there, and the child who lacks love is holding a map and walking over.
Li Luo immediately shut up, with a look on his face that nothing happened.
Li Wuzheng followed Cao Zhishui, and Cao Zhishui handed the map to Li Luo, saying, "Here, the map."
Li Luo picked it up, looked at it, and said in detail, "Thank you. As a thank you, why don't we treat you to a meal."
"Okay, okay." Li Wuzheng was the first to agree, his face full of joy.
Cao Zhishui said coldly, "No need."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but he stopped in his tracks, looked at Li Luo and said, "I don't lack love, I don't need others to be warm, and I don't need others to like me."
Li Luo: "..." My lord sincerely does not deceive me, Cao Zhishui's martial arts is indeed good, and he can hear it from so far away.
Cao Zhishui's attitude was very strong, and Xie Changying was a little unhappy. Although he was not the one being accused, but...
Li Luo wasn't unhappy, but he wasn't a person who would be deflated casually.
Li Luo smiled and said, "It seems that Captain Cao still has the characteristic of being stubborn."
Cao Zhishui had a bad look.
Li Luo smiled and said, "Captain Cao has been standing behind Cao county magistrate just now, behaved well. I observed you, you are really straight, but..."
Cao Zhishui kept his hands drooping all the time, standing very well, almost motionless, and seemed to be very strict with himself.But Li Luo found an interesting thing.
Li Luo said: "Occasionally, you will unconsciously touch your leg with the palm of your hand."
Cao Zhishui frowned.
Li Luo said: "The act of touching the legs is a response to the desire to be touched and hugged by others."
Cao Zhishui said: "Nonsense."
It's just that when he was talking, he subconsciously folded his drooping hands around his chest.
Li Luo said again: "Captain Cao looks very indifferent and always rejects people thousands of miles away. That is a sign that you don't trust others, and it is also a sign that you are not loved. Because you have been alienated over time, so You are used to such a communication distance, and you can't adapt to the sudden intimacy, right?"
"Nonsense," Cao Zhishui said.
Li Luo continued: "Actually, indifference is just a shell to protect yourself. No matter how indifferent you look on the outside, you will be so fragile inside. You just don't want to be discovered by others, right?"
"Bullshit!"
It was the third time Cao Zhishui commented on Li Luo like this, and then he stopped staying and fled.
Li Wuzheng called Cao Zhishui, but it was conceivable that Cao Zhishui ignored him at all and left in a hurry.
Li Wuzheng said: "I'm talking about Li Luo, your mouth is really... You're about to make Catcher Cao cry. Did you see that Catcher Cao was scared away by you?"
Li Luo was a little proud, and said, "That means I'm right."
Xie Changying glanced at Li Luo with complicated eyes, and said, "I only saw Cao Zhishui once, so I know him that way."
Li Luo chuckled and said, "Of course it's impossible. In fact, what Cao Zhishui said is right, I'm talking nonsense."
"What?" Li Wuzheng was taken aback, and said, "Nonsense? Then you made Cao Zhishui cry? I think the words are quite accurate, and every sentence should have pierced Cao Zhishui's heart."
Li Luo was very brazen and said, "This is called the Barnum effect."
"Eight what?" Li Wuzheng couldn't understand.
Li Luo said: "It means that people are very easy to believe in a general and common personality description, thinking that this personality description is particularly suitable for their own characteristics. Even if the description is particularly empty, it doesn't matter."
"Yeah, I still don't understand." Li Wuzheng was confused, turned to look at Xie Changying, and said, "My lord, do you understand?"
To be honest, Xie Changying didn't understand either, there were very few things he didn't understand, and every time Li Luo spoke, he didn't understand everything.
In fact, the Barnum effect is well understood. An example is "horoscope".Many people believe in things like horoscopes, and feel that they are very accurate, and feel that every sentence hits their own vitals.
Most of these horoscopes, however, paint empty, fanciful, undetailed characters.But everyone felt that they must be talking about themselves, so they didn't run away.
Li Luo said: "So, I was talking nonsense just now. The more empty the words, the more scared Cao Zhishui became. But I'm right, he really lacks love, longs to be hugged, but is far away from others outside."
Li Wuzheng seemed to understand but half understood, pointed to himself, and said, "Then can I take this opportunity to warm up Catcher Cao?"
Li Luo said: "Be careful that you will be beaten up by the arrester Cao inhumanely."
Li Wuzheng: "..."
Xie Changying couldn't stand their conversation anymore, and said, "Speak seriously. What do you want a map for?"
Li Luo picked up the map and said, "Of course it is to confirm one thing."
Li Luo looked at the map carefully, and said: "In the case of the tattoo, the four victims all died on the mountain, all of them had tattoos on their bodies, and the skins where the tattoos were located were all cut off."
Xie Changying nodded and said, "Indeed."
Li Luo shook the map and said, "The murderer should be someone from the mountain."
"What do you mean?" Xie Changying frowned.
Li Luo said: "If you look at the map, the mountain road in Yuqiao Mountain is rugged, coupled with heavy rain and landslides, it is already difficult to get up and down."
Indeed, it is not easy to go up to Yuqiao Mountain. Li Luo and the others went up to the mountain once before, but Li Luo was exhausted.
Because the mountain road is difficult to travel, all the hard workers sent live on the mountain and stay in the mountain at night, and the four dead were also killed on the mountain.
Li Luo said: "The mountain road is so difficult to walk, and there are so many people living on the mountain. If someone goes up the mountain to kill someone, and then goes down the mountain to leave, it will be easy to be discovered. It is impossible to be silent four times. The dragon sees the head but does not see the tail."
Xie Changying nodded, and said, "That's true. Because we are in a hurry, there will be some coolies transporting stone and wood at night. If someone goes up and down the mountain so many times, it is unreasonable not to be discovered."
Li Luo said: "So I guess, the murderer should be a person on the mountain, and it is easy to commit crimes by mixing among them."
"Could it be one of the coolies?" Li Wuzheng said.
Li Luo said: "It's not rigorous to say that, Cao county magistrate and many yamen servants in the yamen are also on the mountain, so it's all possible."
"This..." Li Wuzheng said: "But it's not right, what's the matter with the eldest lady?"
The eldest lady also died. The body was found on the mountain, with a piece of skin missing from her arm, but the eldest lady had been dead for more than ten years.
Li Wuzheng said: "How did the murderer kill Da Furen? Let me tell you, Madam Huang is the most suspect in Da Furen's case. But Madam Huang doesn't live on the mountain, so it's impossible to kill someone."
"Didn't you say it last time?" Li Luo said, "The Da Furen and the tattooing case should have nothing to do with it."
The eldest lady's skin was very different from those of the four people.The time was also wrong, Li Luo felt that no matter whether it was a coincidence or a copycat crime, it should not be the same murderer.
Li Luo was thoughtful, and said: "Madam Huang's case is second to Mrs. Huang's. I think it is necessary to ask Mr. Huang."
"Master Huang?" Li Wuzheng was confused.
Mrs. Huang lied, and probably told a lot of lies, not just how little they saw.
But Li Luo felt that the biggest problem right now was not Madam Huang, but Master Huang.
Li Luo explained: "Back then there was no private meeting with Mrs. Huang. Mr. Huang should know this matter better than anyone else. The letter was handed over to Mrs. Huang, and Mr. Huang handed it over to Mrs. Huang. So Mr. Huang definitely knew about it. The eldest lady is innocent. But why does Mr. Huang seem to believe that the eldest lady stole someone and really eloped with others? Isn't it suspicious?"
Xie Changying said, "That's true."
"What about Mrs. Huang?" Li Wuzheng said: "Don't you think she is also suspicious? She is full of lies and misleads us everywhere."
Li Luo said: "Suspicious, of course very suspicious. But..."
Li Luo changed his tone and said: "It is not accurate to say that it is misleading, I would rather
