The importance of cannon fodder

Chapter 369
"Ah, big brother, don't eat Jiu Yao's hand, there are chicken feet." Jiu Yao grabbed the chicken feet with the other hand and handed it to Shen Lian.

"Nine Demons." Shen Lian had no interest in chicken feet.

He held Jiu Yao's hand.

"Huh?" Jiu Yao was grabbed by Shen Lian's warm hand, he didn't seem to dislike the oil on her hand that was not wiped clean at all, Jiu Yao saw his own reflection in Shen Lian's beautiful eyes.

Jiu Yao blinked, "Big brother, what do you want to say?"

"Jiu Yao, will you stay with big brother forever?" Shen Lian looked at Jiu Yao's immature face, as if seeing Su Jiu from many years ago.

It's just that this time, he will never dislike her for never growing up. If she has always been this small, then he has been waiting.

"En." Jiu Yao nodded seriously, "Even if big brother drives me away, Jiu Yao will stay with big brother."

"Big brother won't drive you away." Shen Lian smiled, as if thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed overnight in the spring breeze, Jiu Yao felt his little heart beating even faster.

"Objectively, the Sixi meatballs and hibiscus soup you want have been packed." At this time, Xiao Er came over.

"Let's go." Jiu Yao thought that Feng Chi and Xiao Qi were still hungry and hadn't eaten, so he jumped off the chair.

"En." Shen Lian held the packed food box in his hand.

"Objectively, it's getting dark, you must be careful, it's a bit unsafe at night these days." Xiao Er saw Shen Lian and Jiu Yao, an adult and a child, both of them were not dressed like ordinary people, Xiao Er saw Shen Lian and Jiu Yao. He secretly thought that this young man must be a rich man, so he couldn't help reminding him.

"Thank you." Jiu Yao thanked Xiao Er.

He didn't care about Xiaoer's words at all, Jiu Yao didn't believe it anymore, big brother is so powerful, does anyone dare to hit big brother with his idea?
"Be careful, it's good." Xiao Er hesitated to speak, obviously he knew something, "Young master, I might as well tell you that the nights are particularly unsafe these days, no, a few days ago I was in a restaurant not far from our Two corpses were found in the alley, both of them were regular customers of Tianxianglou, and both of them were grown men, both happened at night."

"Well, we know." Shen Lian nodded, thanked Xiao Er, and walked out of the private room with Jiu Yao.

It was completely dark by this time.

There was no one in the restaurant.

There was only one alcoholic sitting in a corner drinking.

When Jiu Yao and Shen Lian came down the stairs, he looked at Jiu Yao and Shen Lian with drunken eyes.

Shen Lian hadn't walked for long with Jiu Yao in his arms when he felt someone following behind him.

Shen Lian didn't want to ignore the people behind her, so she quickened her pace.

In an instant, the person behind him was thrown far away.

However, the next day, the prefect An's extremely loud voice sent someone to the door again.

An officer and a soldier led Xiao Er, whom Jiu Yao met in Tianxiang Tower last night. When he saw Shen Lian, he pointed tremblingly, "It's him, it's him."

"What is it?" Jiu Yao just woke up when he was awakened by the crackling footsteps of these officers and soldiers.

When she walked out the door, she saw the little girl pointing at her elder brother and saying, "It's him, it's him, it's him."

"You've been arrested." The officers and soldiers should not be the ones who came last time, otherwise, he should know that he doesn't have the strength to arrest Shen Lian.

"Why?" Jiu Yao was puzzled, why did he arrest the big brother.

"We suspect that you killed He Er."

Facing the identification by officers and soldiers, Shen Lian didn't say a word, and he didn't even want to explain.

"Who is He Er?" Jiu Yao listened in a daze, the elder brother was with her yesterday, how could he have time to kill this He Er.

Moreover, who is this He Er?
"He Er is the drunk man who went out behind you yesterday." Xiao Er added.

Shen Lian came over, and Jiu Yao held her in her arms. He turned around and said, "I didn't kill people."

"There are authentication materials, but you still want to quibble." The officer said resolutely.

"Physical evidence?" Jiu Yao was a little puzzled. "What is physical evidence?"

"Look, this is physical evidence." The officer and soldier took out a white jade pendant.

"This jade pendant, I saw it was on that young master's body yesterday." After seeing the jade pendant, the little girl nodded and said.

"I found this from the body of the deceased. You must have dropped the jade pendant inadvertently after the murder."

"..." Jiu Yao glanced at the very ordinary jade pendant, and couldn't help feeling amused, "Big brother wouldn't wear such a poor-looking jade pendant."

That piece of jade pendant does not have the slightest aura, it is really a defective product among ordinary products.

There is a piece of crystal clear white jade around the elder brother's waist. The aura in the jade is rich and the jade pendant in the hands of the officer and soldier is like one in the sky and the other on the ground.

"You little girl." The officer and soldier became furious. He turned around and said, "Xiaoer, you said you saw him kill someone yesterday."

"Officer, the little one didn't see it, but after seeing him leave, He Er also followed out. The jade pendant may also be a little misremembered." Xiao Er said tremblingly beside the officers and soldiers, he vaguely I remember that there was a jade pendant on Shen Lian's waist, and the jade pendant was considered a luxury in the ordinary world. He couldn't tell the difference between the jade pendants, so he mistakenly thought that the jade pendant belonged to Shen Lian.

"I think you have neither certification nor physical evidence, yet you dare to slander my elder brother." Jiu Yao thought the officer and soldier was very funny.

Why did he insist that his elder brother killed someone?

"Tell me, who else is there besides you?" The officer and soldier glared, "Wu Zuojian's body died four hours ago, and this time coincides with the time you left."

"You mean, after my eldest brother and I left, he died?"

"Where did you find the body?" Jiu Yao felt that He Er's death was a bit strange.

"In an alley near Tianxiang Tower." The officer said to Shen Lian, "No matter what, you have to go back with me."

"Big brother didn't kill the person, but, big brother, can we go and see the corpse?" Jiu Yao suddenly thought of something, so he asked.

"En." Shen Lian nodded.

"Big brother, I suspect that someone deliberately framed us, maybe it was the love bugs who did it before." Nine Yao's head used its full imagination.

"Maybe it's just an ordinary murder. Mortals have more complicated thoughts than you and me." Shen Lian pinched Jiu Yao's nose and said.

"But, big brother, I don't think it's easy anyway." Jiu Yao had this premonition.

"En," Shen Lian nodded lovingly.

The first rule of pampering the Nine Monsters is to feed the Nine Monsters, and the second rule is that everything the Nine Monsters said is correct.
