Master Luo Cao

Kou Luoche frowned slightly, "Why?"

Fu Yunshu said: "The murderer put the poison/drug in a place where only the two of them can touch it."

Kou Luoche said: "But the two of them did take poison/drugs before they died, and their bowls were indeed tested..."

Speaking of this, both of them were startled, and then said in unison: "Bowl!"

Fu Yunshu said: "The murderer may have smeared the poison/drug on the edge of the bowl, or he may have dissolved the poison/drug with water, poured it into the bowl, and then covered it with rice."

"There is another possibility," Kou Luoche said suddenly: "The murderer quietly sprinkled poison/medicine into the rice when he was sharing the meal." The eyes of the two slowly met, and Kou Luoche said again: "Because of Zhao Si and He Changfa lived in the same cell, and they couldn't be sure who would use the poisoned bowl, so just to be on the safe side, they didn't do anything and kept killing them all."

Fu Yunshu's eyelashes trembled slightly, he took a deep breath, and said softly: "Xu Meng and Zhao Ciji are both seriously suspected. But..." He frowned inexplicably, "But I don't understand , why did they kill He Changfa?"

"Not necessarily." Kou Luoche said.

"Huh?" Fu Yunshu looked at Kou Luoche blankly, "What does 'not necessarily' mean?"

Kou Luoche reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth and gave a dry smile, and said, "I just suddenly thought, what if the person who wants to kill is not He Changfa... what he wants to kill is actually Zhao Xuanfu?"

Fu Yunshu said in surprise: "Zhao Si has been in prison for so long. If the two of them wanted to kill him, they would have done it long ago. Why wait until today to get He Changfa? Besides, what enmity can Zhao Si have with them?"

Kou Luoche smiled silently, and said, "It's just talking nonsense... Which of the two of them do you think it is?"

Fu Yunshu shook his head and said: "Although the two of them are very suspicious, it is not certain that it is one of them. Maybe this is someone deliberately trying to separate me from Jiuhe. There is no conclusive evidence, so I can't jump to conclusions. This matter needs to be investigated carefully. Probe and think carefully, Brother Kou, you and I must not make any noise."

"I know," Kou Luoche raised his hand, and wiped the sweat from Fu Yunshu's forehead with pity, "I don't advise you to rest for a few days, but at least for now, come and have a meal with me, huh?"

Only then did Fu Yunshu realize that he hadn't even eaten a meal after a busy day, and his stomach complained about himself, so he immediately groaned.He scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "You can't eat even if you're tired."

"Then you are still standing there stupidly," Kou Luoche lightly patted the back of Fu Yunshu's head, "Go."

It's not far from the dining room, but Kou Luoqiao led Fu Yunshu around the dining room and walked towards the kitchen.Fu Yunshu repeatedly turned his head to look in the direction of the dining room, imagining the various delicacies prepared by Aunt Li, drooling, "Brother Kou, why don't you go to the kitchen and eat ready-made food in the dining room?"

Kou Luoche only said indifferently: "I'm not at ease."

There are frequent cases of poisoning and killings in the county, but the county magistrate and county lieutenant, as his right-hand man, have serious suspicions, so he is worried about him.

Although there were dark clouds all around, Fu Yunshu couldn't help but feel a sweetness in his heart. He didn't speak, but just tightened the hands they held.

Walking into the kitchen, he closed the door with his backhand, and the dim moonlight was also shut out.Kou Luoche took out a torch from his sleeve, and lit the only candle in the kitchen. He protected the candlelight with his hand, and gently placed the candlestick on the table in front of Fu Yunshu. The dim yellow flame lit his delicate face. Reflected warm and soft.Kou Luoche said: "Just wait, it will be fine soon."

Fu Yunshu gave a "hmm", and looked at his back for a moment with his chin resting on his hands. He thought, it doesn't matter if you slow down, it doesn't matter if you wait all the time.

There were fresh shepherd's purse and pork in the kitchen, so Kou Luoche thought about making dumplings for Fu Yunshu, chopped the stuffing quickly, and then went to knead the noodles. He has practiced martial arts for many years, and his hands are strong and fast. After a while, the noodles were mixed evenly, and while making dumplings, he asked, "Do you want to eat steamed or boiled?" Unexpectedly, no one answered after asking twice, Kou Luoche turned his head and looked, only to find that Xiaoxian Ling had already collapsed on the table, snoring lightly.

He smiled helplessly and continued making dumplings.

Fu Yunshu didn't sleep well, he was dreaming.

The scene in the dream seems to be many years later, and it seems that it will never happen in reality.

He and Kou Luoche lived in seclusion in an uninhabited landscape. They built two thatched huts.They surrounded the house with a fence, and inside the fence were chickens, ducks and geese. When the sun went down next night, he drove the ducks and geese as usual and walked home from the small river. As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw Kou Luoche sharpening his knife and rushing towards his house. big fat pig.

When he called his name, Kou Luoche turned around, grinning, shook the bright kitchen knife in his hand, and said, "Jiechen, I'll make pork dumplings for you today!"

He laughed heartily, but the pig's eyes were filled with terror, and its fat and short limbs that were tightly bound to the chopping board struggled desperately. He ran wildly to escape for his life.Kou Luochao wanted to chase after him with a knife, but he stumbled and fell to the ground. He watched the big fat pig smash through the fence and disappeared without a trace. The captive chickens were freed and ran outside happily. The fun was gone, and the ducks and geese refused to obey the discipline when they saw this, and ran away in all directions. The originally peaceful and peaceful scene suddenly became chaotic.Fu Yunshu ran up to Kou Luoche, a little worried, but couldn't hold back his smile, he helped him up with a smile on his face, and asked, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Kou Luoche got up from the ground with his waist supported, and brought out a plate of steaming dumplings from behind as if by magic, and put it in front of Fu Yunshu, asking, "Do you want to eat?"

Fu Yunshu was stunned for a moment, then said weakly: "Eat."

"Why don't you open your eyes quickly if you want to eat?"

A familiar voice sounded suddenly, it seemed to be in the sky, and it seemed to be in the ears. Fu Yunshu was startled. He opened his eyes, and the dim candlelight flickered. The person in front of him was Kou Luoche who failed to kill a pig in his dream?Thinking of Kou Luoche's appearance of catching a knife and killing a pig, he couldn't help laughing out loud, causing Kou Luoche to snap his fingers on his forehead and ask, "What are you laughing at?"

Fu Yunshu didn't dare to let him know, he covered his mouth and shook his head repeatedly, "It's nothing, it's just a faint dream." He took a closer look, and there were two big bowls of dumplings in front of him, one bowl of steamed dumplings and one bowl of boiled dumplings. Ask: "Why do you still use two methods?"

"I don't know which one you like, so I made both." Kou Luoche pushed both bowls in front of Fu Yunshu, "Try it, do you like steamed or boiled?"

Fu Yunshu smiled and said, "If I say I like them all, then you will make two bowls for me every time from now on?"

Kou Luoche pursed his lips pretending to be disgusted, and said, "Then there will be no future for this."

Fu Yunshu said: "I like them all."

"I like it too." Kou Luoche said, his upper body jumped over the table, and his lips gently touched Fu Yunshu's.

They exchanged a charming and lingering kiss.

After the kiss was over, the breaths of both of them were a little unstable, and Kou Luoche took a long time to breathe before he gradually calmed down. He stretched out his hand unwillingly, and moved it around Fu Yunshu's waist. While stroking gently through the clothes, he said in a hoarse voice : "This time, I will calculate what you owe first. When the matter is over, I will get it back with interest."

Fu Yunshu's face was flushed, but he looked at him provocatively, with bright spots in his eyes, and he said, "If you have the ability, ask for it now."

As soon as the words fell, he was hit on the buttocks. Kou Luoche sat down solemnly, picked up the chopsticks, and said, "Eat."

Fu Yunshu rubbed his buttocks, sat down angrily, stuffed a dumpling into his mouth whole, and chewed vigorously while staring at Kou Luochao, as if imagining eating his meat.

Kou Luoche seemed to be unaware, and said indifferently: "Go back to sleep after dinner today, sharpen your knife and don't miss the woodcutter. Only after resting can you have enough energy to investigate the case. Now that you know how to poison Zhao Sihe He Changfa’s poison/drug is arsenic/cream, so let’s check from various pharmacies. There must not be many people who buy arsenic/cream. There are only a few pharmacies in Jiuhe County. There are some clues in his mouth. There is also Zhao Si's matter, Shen Xun must be notified, although the death is terrible, it is considered a whole body, let him take him back and deal with it properly." Seeing that Fu Yunshu opened his mouth as if to refute, he sternly With a straight face, he rushed ahead and said: "I have the final say on this matter, there is no need to discuss it, you must go back to rest after eating, otherwise I will hang myself."

Fu Yunshu was taken aback, so he lowered his head and stuffed another dumpling into his mouth.

He didn't actually want to refute, he just suddenly thought that He Changfa's confession gang, Pai Huazi, hid in Jindiao Mountain, and he hadn't told Brother Kou about it.

... If Brother Kou found out, what would he do?

Slowly swallowing the dumplings in his mouth, Fu Yunshu hesitated and said, "Brother Kou, if... if I say, I want to lie down on the Golden Eagle Mountain... what will you do?"

Kou Luochao was holding a spoon to fill the soup, when he heard this, the spoon sank into the bottom of the soup with a "clang".

He froze for a moment, then naturally picked up the spoon with his chopsticks, and asked lightly, "Why do you want to go to Jindiao Mountain all of a sudden?"

If Brother Kou knew about it, he would definitely go up the mountain alone to catch the thief.

Fu Yunshu said: "...Caishengmen and Qunying Village have both taken root in Jiangbei for decades, one in the open and the other in the dark, I think there may be some connection between the two...I want to go up the mountain to find out This sentence was half-true and half-false, Kou Luoche's eyes flickered, he glanced at Fu Yunshu's calm eyes, and sighed, "How can it be so simple."

Fu Yunshu pursed his lips in aggrieved manner.

Kou Luoche said: "If you really doubt it, I will take a trip for you another day. You don't need to ask others to join me. If you are not skilled enough, it can only be a burden." After a pause, he said: "Don't even think about you and I'll go together, I can't put you in danger."

Fu Yunshu murmured dejectedly: "I don't want to be your burden, let alone put you in danger."

He spoke so softly that even Kou Luoche could not hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said you should finish eating quickly." Fu Yunshu put a dumpling into Kou Luoqi's bowl, then stretched out a hand to stick to his warm face, and said in a gentle voice, "Then go back and have a good rest."
