White clothes bind me [cat and mouse]
Chapter 58
After Nie Cheng finished speaking, he looked behind the two of them and asked, "What happened outside? Why did I hear it was so lively."
Zhan Zhao saw that his room was not far from the grocery store, so he knelt down and said to him, "The manager of the grocery store next door was killed."
Although Nie Cheng said that he was a little boy and already had his own ideas, but he had never experienced such a close life and death. He was stunned and said, "Is it Uncle Zhang?"
Looking at his reaction, Zhan Zhao knew that he really knew the grocery store opposite, so he followed Nie Cheng's words and said, "It's him."
The corners of Nie Cheng's eyes turned red immediately, and the sockets became moist: "Is that chubby Zhang still alive? I'm going to see it!"
Zhan Zhao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't watch it, you'll have nightmares tonight."
As soon as Zhan Zhao said the word "nightmare", Nie Guo became a little scared. It seems that even if he has lived alone for a long time, he is still a child and has things to fear.
"I..." Nie Cheng thought about it for a long time, and stammered, "Why, I didn't even hear a sound."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. What really puzzled them was that although there were few people on the street in this slum, the grocery store was considered the center of the whole street. Can anyone hear the grocery store?
From what Nie Cheng said, they were even more convinced that maybe the murderer behind the grocery store was a martial artist.
Now that he's here, Zhan Zhao wants to start chatting with Nie Cheng slowly from the place he's familiar with, so he asks, "Do you know the shopkeeper?"
Nie Chenghong said with a nose: "The shopkeeper is usually very kind to me. He usually invites me to his house for dinner, and I also play well with Zhang Xiaopang."
Zhan Zhao tentatively asked, "The shopkeeper told you, did he have any enemies?"
Nie Cheng shook his head: "The shopkeeper is very nice. He often delivers things nearby. I've never heard of him having enemies."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, it seemed that they couldn't get any information from Nie Cheng. Nie Cheng was only a kid in his teens, so the shopkeeper probably wouldn't tell him too much.
Just when Zhan Zhao wanted to turn to ask about his affairs in Huajie, Nie Cheng suddenly said: "I suddenly remembered that the shopkeeper once said some nonsense when he was drunk, although I don't understand what it means, But I wrote it all down, and when I asked the shopkeeper later, he said he was talking nonsense."
"Oh?" Zhan Zhao's eyes lit up, "What is it, do you still remember?"
Nie Cheng said with a little air: "Of course I remember it. It was the first time I saw the shopkeeper lose his temper. I always remember it!"
But then he remembered that the shopkeeper was dead now, and he felt a little lost again.
Zhan Zhao encouraged him to finish his sentence, and Nie Chengcheng continued, "I remember that the shopkeeper probably said that he was sorry for his ancestors and threw away the leftovers."
"Then he said that that thing is not a good thing, it will always bring disasters to the family, it's okay to throw it away, no one will open that thing anyway."
What Nie Cheng said was a bit cloudy, and Zhan Zhao figured out slowly that there was probably a hidden treasure in the shopkeeper's house, but that thing might be forbearing to peek at it, so after he lost it, he didn't plan to Look for it again.
Zhan Zhao asked: "Then have you noticed anything wrong with the shopkeeper recently?"
Nie Cheng picked his chin and said, "The shopkeeper is the same as before, there is no difference. In addition, I have been going out late and returning early these few days, so I don't know what's going on."
It seems that there is really no clue, Zhan Zhao stroked his chin and thought about it. In the end, this matter is still not definite. Kill the shopkeeper.
Then Zhan Zhao continued to ask: "Let's put this matter aside, tell me why you, a brat, have to go to Huajie to work."
Nie Cheng took it for granted, "That's because they gave you a lot of money!"
Zhan Zhao frowned and said, "Tell the truth!"
Nie Cheng was still a child, and when he was bullied by Zhan Zhao, he said a little unconfidently: "Huajie doesn't care if I'm a child or not. People there will pay me as long as I finish my work."
Zhan Zhao saw that he really didn't want to talk about it, and he couldn't force him, so he could only pat him on the shoulder and said, "Children, they always go to that place at night, go to bed early, and be careful not to grow taller."
Nie Cheng finally came to his senses and said in surprise, "So that's why I haven't grown taller?"
Seeing that Nie Cheng was fooled by Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang sneered beside him and said, "No wonder you are fourteen or fifteen years old and still so short."
Nie Cheng didn't like to see Bai Yutang very much, even if he was his savior, he jumped up and said immediately after hearing his words: "I won't go today! I will sleep well and grow taller!"
Nie Cheng wasn't actually short, but compared to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, he was a bit big enough.
Since Zhan Zhao couldn't get anything out of him, he had no choice but to tell him not to go out at night.
Then Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood at the door, they looked at each other, and found that there was no clue now.
Bai Yutang waved his fan and said, "Since this is the case, why don't we go to Fengqi Tower and ask?"
Zhan Zhao just passed by Fengqi Tower today, so he naturally knew where it was. Seeing Bai Yutang's calm appearance, he suddenly felt a little apprehensive: "I heard you said it so smoothly, did you often go there before?"
Bai Yutang took the lead, and said with a smile, "I've been there once."
Zhan Zhao immediately followed, but he didn't know whether to ask more questions, so he made his way to Fengqi Tower in a tangled way.
Because it was still in the afternoon, the girls in the building were probably not awake yet, Fengqi Building opened a door, and Gui Gong was still half asleep in front of the door. When he saw the two handsome men, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, he was greatly shocked. Fang Fang came up, quickly regained consciousness, and said to his face, "You two young masters, are you here to drink or drink tea?"
There is probably something particular in Gui Gong’s words. Drinking tea means chatting with girls, talking, drinking tea, listening to music and watching dances. It is also natural for the guest officer to figure it out for himself.
It was the first time for Zhan Zhao to come to a place like a brothel. The brothel in Kaifeng Mansion was well-regulated and there was nothing wrong with it, so he gave way to Bai Yutang, who was clearly a rich man behind him.
Bai Yutang threw down a large silver ingot and said, "Have some tea."
When Gui Gong saw the silver ingot, he glued his eyeballs on, and then saw the person who took out the silver ingot, and immediately changed his attitude: "So it's Bai Wuye, why are you free to go to our Fengqi Tower today? Don't you want me to ask Miss Yunting to come down and wait on you?"
Because he is a well-known noble son in Songjiang Mansion, Mr. Gui naturally flattered and respected him a lot, and even asked if he could be received by the head of the building. This is a treatment that ordinary people cannot enjoy.
But Zhan Zhao didn't understand, and kept asking: "Yunting?" Who is that?
Because she was brought by Bai Yutang, Gui Gong explained it very kindly, as if to make a face for Bai Yutang: "Miss Yunting is the number one girl in our Fengqi Building, and she admires Fifth Master Bai very much!"
Zhan Zhao nodded, with a look of sudden realization: "I see."
Bai Yutang couldn't help giving Gui Gong a cold glance. Gui Gong didn't know where he had offended Bai Yutang, but he often acted on people's faces, and when he sensed that Bai Yutang was a little upset, he immediately restrained his movements, and brought the two of them together. Upstairs.
And the miraculous thing is that he happened to bring Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao to the room where Yunting was staying yesterday, and the door that opened to the outside happened to be able to have a panoramic view of the downstairs and Huajie.
For some reason, Bai Yutang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhan Zhao's expression turned pale.
Bai Yutang poured a glass of water for Zhan Zhao in an embarrassing manner, and he didn't know that he was so cold-faced, refused to speak to women, and kept himself clean on weekdays, so how could he be so guilty.
"Don't worry about it, I've only been to Fengqi Tower once, and after that I just took a boat by the river to relax."
Zhan Zhao took the teacup he handed over, and Bai Yutang knew that based on what he knew about Zhan Zhao, Zhan Zhao was not angry now.
But there was a knock on the door, and Yunting's soft voice came in from outside the door: "Fifth Master, it's rare that Fifth Master comes to the door, how can I not serve myself?"
Immediately, Zhan Zhao's face as he drank the tea turned dark.
The always aloof Bai Yutang now just wants to cover his forehead and drive the woman outside the door out.
But now they came to Fengqi Building to investigate the clues of Tengu. As the most popular oiran in this building, Yunting must know a lot more things. Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao tentatively, and Zhan Zhao put down his teacup However, Bai Yutang could only say: "...Come in."
Yunting's clothes were half-backed, and her long hair fluttered over her shoulders. It looked like she was woken up from the quilt and came over immediately.
And when he saw that Bai Yutang was not the only one in the room, Yun Ting was surprised, and pulled his shirt without a care to conceal, covering his fair and delicate skin under a light veil.
Bai Yutang hadn't set the teacups yet, when Yunting came up to familiarize himself with the way, he found the teacups in Bai Yutang's hands, brewed tea one by one, and then said, "Fifth Master, this is your favorite Lushan Yunwu tea, use it Made from good spring water, drink it."
Speaking of which, Yunting was about to reach out and hand the tea cup to Bai Yutang's eyes, but Bai Yutang avoided her hands, and changed another cup himself, looking very disgusted with Yunting.
Yunting didn't care at all, turned the cup in his hand and drank it by himself.
Even drinking water seemed to be a kind of enjoyment to that graceful body, so graceful and tender, if in the eyes of other men, I'm afraid they would have been unable to bear it.
But in front of her were Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, both of whom were indifferent to the beautiful scenery.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more deviated from the original intention, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but said: "Miss Yunting, we came this time to ask some questions about Tengu, and I wonder if you have any relevant clues."
Yun Ting tilted her slender right hand, half covered her cherry mouth, and asked in surprise, "Could this be Nan Xia Zhan Zhao?"
Zhan Zhao asked, "You know me?"
Yun Ting covered his mouth and said with a foolish smile: "I heard that Bai Wuye had a good relationship with Nan Xia Zhan Zhao before, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that I was right in front of my eyes. I really admired him for a long time."
Zhan Zhao frowned, suddenly felt as if a needle had been pricked in his heart: "Why do you say that?"
Yun Ting said: "Fifth Master has never been interested in these cases, dead people, how could he follow the government to investigate the case, so I think rumors are just rumors, and they are not worth believing."
Before Zhan Zhao could react, Bai Yutang reprimanded him coldly: "Shut up!"
Immediately, the whole room was filled with Bai Yutang's cold internal energy, Yunting was so cold that even the air he exhaled turned into water vapor.
Zhan Zhao saw that his room was not far from the grocery store, so he knelt down and said to him, "The manager of the grocery store next door was killed."
Although Nie Cheng said that he was a little boy and already had his own ideas, but he had never experienced such a close life and death. He was stunned and said, "Is it Uncle Zhang?"
