looking for sister

"Since I have decided to come here to have a look, why didn't I bring some more money out, it was a mistake."

Lin Jian looked around for a few times, then turned to Su Mu and muttered. Although the situation here is better than the previous one, he has roughly guessed what is going on in the fire room.

There were two guards at the door, and when they saw Su Mu arrive, there was obvious surprise on his face.

"The two of us came to investigate the case." Su Mu handed over the document with the official seal, and the younger brother's expression returned to normal, and he said to the two of them, "There are some people with problems here, the two adults went in , Be careful."

"Is there a problem?" Lin Jian turned her eyes to stare at the little brother.

"It's here." The little brother pointed to his head, and Lin Jian understood.Before he walked in, he pouted at Su Mu, obviously saying that he never expected this to happen.

The name "Fire Room" is indeed not a big problem, because as soon as Lin Jian entered, he saw the fire.

But here is just an empty house built of refractory bricks, with a simple stove in the middle, with a tongue of fire slowly licking the bottom of the stove, and the small stove is making a lot of noise, probably because of the water. It's almost boiling.

"Why don't you wait for that team to come and send some people back to Jingfeng Street to get some money from the Lin Mansion."

Lin Jian held Su Mu back before walking over, and pointed to the side full of flames.

"We still have to come here in the near future, so it's better to take it with you."

Su Mu looked away, and twitched the corner of his mouth where Lin Jian couldn't see.It's normal for this young master to be ignorant of the sufferings of the world, but he just handed over the money to those soldiers... Let's forget it.

"Well, then it's settled."

Lin Jian immediately clapped her hands and dragged Su Mu inside.After entering the door, he found that there were five people around the stove, all of different sizes, but four of them were big men, and the rest was a little girl.

The little girl held candied haws in her hand, and the red hawthorn berries were wrapped in golden syrup, glistening under the light of the fire.

The hawthorn was not even eaten at the top. The little girl held it to her mouth and licked it, then stared and looked at it.

This was clearly reluctance, Lin Jian leaned towards the little girl, and before she could say anything, she saw that the other party immediately hid the candied haws behind her back, in a very serious way.

"You don't want to grab my candied haws, do you? My father bought this after he made a lot of money."

The voice was crisp and full of hostility. Lin Jian was afraid of scaring people, so he quickly waved his hands, "No, no, candied haws are very sweet, but it's near the fire and it's easy to melt, so eat it quickly Bar."

Lin Jian stepped back while talking, and noticed that Su Mu was already inquiring about the whereabouts of that strange person, but it was a pity that they didn't even have the other's portrait in their hands, so it would not be easy to ask.

So, after a round of continuous asking, there was no gain.However, Lin Jian's eyes were still on the little girl. After all, in this kind of place where even the government needs to provide shelter, candied haws is indeed a bit extravagant.

The little girl said that her father made the money, but where is her father?

Although she herself was not far from the flames, she was still a little far away from those four men.

Lin Jian wanted to ask, but she looked down at her attire and gave up the idea.Living here, even the little girls are very vigilant, not to mention there are four adults here.

"Are there any other firehouses nearby? Or if there is any trace of that person, please go to Qingli Academy to find me immediately, and I will be rewarded with a lot of money."

After Su Mu said this, he walked out, but the eyes of the four people who were originally "half dead" lit up when they heard the last four words.

"Hey, wait."

One of them couldn't help opening his mouth.

Su Lin and the others turned around in response, and saw him standing up, his expression was a little excited, but he was a little embarrassed.

"As for who the official is talking about, Cao Min doesn't have the slightest impression, but there is one person who may know."

Officer?

It was the first time for Lin Jian to hear Su Mu being called that. If it wasn't because he was here, he would definitely be laughing out loud right now.

Lin Jian tried his best to hold back his laughter, and the man trotted a few steps towards this side, "It's Boss Nie, he's in charge of this area, so it should be easier to find someone."

Boss Nie?

Since it was said from the mouth of a beggar, could it be the head of the beggar here?Just as Lin Jian was about to ask, she heard a commotion coming from outside, and listening, there was quite a lot of noise.

Su Mu thanked Ren Ren and made a promise, and the two immediately went out, but when they reached the door and walked to the open space in front of the door, they saw nothing except a group of soldiers.

"What happened outside just now?" Su Mu asked.

"Return to Mr. Su, it's nothing. There were some beggars standing outside, probably because they saw the clothes on us, so they ran away immediately."

The person at the head of the team replied, and there was no other action.Lin Jian also looked around, but didn't see a single person.

They came out after lunch, and it was dusk now, and it would be dark when they rushed back to the academy. Considering Lin Jian, Su Mu decided to go back immediately, so he told Lin Jian about these things.

"Then what about looking for Boss Nie?"

Lin Jian really felt that her leg was going to be useless after an afternoon of tossing, but when she thought of finding the trace of that person, she felt her blood boil.

After all, that person appeared there a few days before Xiuyuan disappeared, and the gangster should still be around the familiar environment in those few days, maybe he saw something, maybe.

"Boss Nie should be regarded as the local snake in this area, as long as you inquire a little, he will definitely be there."

Su Mu pulled people forward, but Lin Jian didn't break free. As for the group of soldiers, he just pretended that he didn't see anything.

The group of people returned on the original road like this. On the road, they met a hurried middle-aged man, bowed his waist and walked very fast, but they were about to bump into them. When they saw them, they ran away in a hurry and turned into a side road. .

"It's probably the same as the previous ones. When they saw the people in the government, they ran away immediately... Did you do a lot of outrageous things on weekdays! Su Guanye!"

Lin Jian teased Su Mu tightly, and when there was laughter behind him, she realized that they were not the only two of them today, and blushed immediately.

The way back seemed extremely difficult, and it took nearly an hour to return to the foot of Qingli Mountain.

"No, no, I'm going to rest here for a while."

Lin Jian supported the pine tree on the side of the road, leaned aside and panted heavily. He pointed to the stone steps not far away, and then tapped his leg, "If I continue to climb up now, I guess I won't be able to last half of it."
