But just looking at the anxious looks of the two Gongmen outside the door, it is obvious that they have something urgent to find the Li family father and son.
This is quite abnormal.
And this is where Bai Suzhen's doubts lie.
However, in a short period of time, although it was difficult for Bai Suzhen to guess what the intentions of the two people from the Gongmen outside the door were, Murong Bai was at least [-]% to [-]% sure.

Chapter 1264
In fact, speaking carefully, in the current city of Hangzhou, apart from the tiger demon that is raging outside the city, there is probably nothing else that can cause the people of the Gongmen to look dignified.
So, after a flash in his eyes, Murong Bai reminded Bai Suzhen in a slow voice, "They came here probably because of the tiger demon cannibalism."
There are tiger monsters eating people outside the city of Hangzhou. In just a few days, they have already caused many bloody crimes.
In such an auspicious time for the whole people to celebrate, such an incident happened, which is enough to cause all the officials in Hangzhou City to be overwhelmed by it.
Murong Bai had already made his own deduction about what measures the Hangzhou government would take next.
But what he didn't expect was that the Li family father and son seemed to be involved in this matter as well.
Murong Bai, who had already had some guesses in his heart, didn't say anything more. After giving Bai Suzhen a look, the two of them put their gazes down together, ready to take a closer look. What is the reason for Kui Ye's visit, to talk to Li's father and son on the first day of the new year?
Hearing movement outside the door, Li Gongfu, who was talking to his father, immediately got up from his seat, ready to go outside to take a look.
After opening the door, he saw that the two people who knocked on the door were familiar faces. In Li Gongfu's initial reaction, he thought that these two people came to visit his house during the New Year's vacation.
But after seeing clearly that the two of them were both wearing police uniforms and holding standard official knives issued by the imperial court, they could be regarded as Li Gongfu who had been a county government police officer for several years and had accumulated a lot of experience. Immediately, his heart tensed up, guessing that the two people in front of him came late at night, probably because some great event must have happened.
"Chen Butou, little six brothers, you two, this is..."
Faced with Li Gongfu's question, among the two people who came to visit tonight, Chen Butou, who was obviously the one in charge, did not answer him directly, but looked at Xiao Liu beside him, and asked Li Butou whereabouts, "Is your father at home?"
Although Li Gongfu didn't know why Butou Chen and the others were looking for his father, he also knew that since Butou Chen asked so, it must be of great importance.
So, he hurriedly nodded at Chen Butou and replied, "Yes."
While speaking, he moved aside to open the courtyard door, and asked Chen Butou and Xiao Liu to come in and talk.
But Chen Butou didn't want to stay outside for too long, he turned his head first, and looked around cautiously, seeing that no one was looking at him on the street, he dodged and immediately took the little one with him. Liu went into Li's house together.
Chen Butou's actions made Li Gongfu even more suspicious.
After closing the courtyard door again, he hurriedly followed in the footsteps of Chen Butou and Xiao Liu, and led them towards the main room.
And Li Butou in the room had already stood in the corridor ahead of time because he heard Li Gongfu talking to Chen Butou and the others outside the door.
After Chen Butou and the others approached, they cupped their fists in advance and said to Chen Butou, "Brother Chen, are you all right?"
Chen Butou's name is Chen Yang, and when Li Butou was still in office, he was Li Butou's capable general.
Therefore, not long after Li Catcher left his post, because of the appreciation of the current county magistrate, he was promoted to be the Catcher of this county, and he has been up to today.
However, due to their busy schedule, the last time Li Butou and Chen Yang met was during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.
Goodbye old friend, I have a lot to say.
But Li Butou has been working in the Gongmen all his life, only seeing Chen Yang and Xiao Liu's attire at this time, he already knew that the two of them would definitely have important matters to discuss with him when they came to visit tonight.
So, after exchanging pleasantries, he immediately turned around and led Chen Yang and Xiao Liu into the room to talk.
"Brother Chen, hurry up and talk inside."
After entering the house, before Chen Yang and Xiao Liu sat down, Catcher Li turned his head and saw that there was not much firewood left in the charcoal basin beside him - after all, at this time, the Li family and his son were already going to sleep and rest .
Therefore, Catcher Li first directed at Li Gongfu who entered the house one step behind Chen Yang and the others, "Gongfu, go and add some charcoal."
After giving the order, he stretched out his hand to invite Chen Yang and Xiao Liu to sit down.
However, when Li Gongfu was about to pick up the fire tongs and leave the door to pick up some charcoal, Chen Yang stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Don't bother."
He signaled Li Gongfu not to be busy, and after Li Gongfu got his father's nod, he didn't insist any more. After Chen Yang and Xiao Liu took their seats, they sat next to the last Xiao Liu.
But when Chen Yang was here, he had just sat down, and before Li Butou asked, he immediately shook his head with a wry smile at Li Butou, "Brother, I'm here this time, but I'm here to ask you for help!"
Catcher Li couldn't figure out why Chen Yang would speak like this, so after raising his eyebrows, he asked Chen Yang, "Oh? How do you say that?"
Chen Yang responded, "Old brother, have you ever heard about the things in the south of the city?"
With the entry of foreign merchants into the city, the sight of a tiger demon appearing in the south of the city has been widely circulated in the city of Hangzhou. Therefore, Catcher Li has already heard about it.
So, after pondering for a while, he asked directly, "You mean... that tiger demon that eats people in the south of the city?"
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Not bad."
Then, after taking a deep breath, he explained carefully to Li Butou, "The king of Liang and the magistrate posted a notice years ago to hold a lantern festival in the city on the day of Lantern Festival to have fun with the people."
"But now such an evil animal has appeared. Counting from the first time it cannibalized people, at least a hundred people have died under the mouth of this evil animal."
The voice paused for a moment, and then, Chen Yang suddenly inserted his hands into his hair and rubbed them vigorously a few times.
Under the reflection of the oil lamp in the room, Chen Yang's face at this moment brought out extremely strong grief and distortion.
Beside Chen Yang, Xiaoliu looked almost the same as him, which made Catcher Li and Li Gongfu very puzzled by the state of Chen Yang and Xiaoliu at the moment, and Catcher Li was ready to ask He said a few words to clarify.
