Relief

Under the wall of the backyard of the farmhouse, the huge body of the fourth child was squatting neatly.In fact, it's not considered squatting. Due to the unstable center of gravity, I have already sat down on the ground.

With the fourth child's butt as the center, the ground cracked a few cracks in all directions.

Xie Zhixu compared the width with his feet in surprise, and added another dimension to the weight of the fourth child in his heart.

Wu Li is summarizing the intelligence clues in the four cases: "Suzhou sees Suzhou again. The four victims have all lived in Suzhou City. It seems that our next step is to go to Suzhou to further clarify the relationship between these four people—— Hey, why are you so preoccupied?"

Wu Li smashed his elbow to thank Zhixu.

As the setting sun sinks to the west, a row of cooking smoke rises from the edge of the field ridge, and the fragrance of the cooking stove is wafting for miles.Xie Zhixu's stomach growled in response to the occasion.

"I'm hungry." Xie Zhixu rubbed his stomach.

Wu Li waved his hand: "Forget it, next one."

Xie Zhixu thought for a while, "You lied to other couples just now, is it appropriate? Or borrowed the name of the Corpse Society, what if people come to blame you for slander?"

Wu Li waved his hand again: "Next."

"..."

Xie Zhixu was really speechless now, he looked at the fourth child with a heavy heart.

When the fourth child stood upright, he could not fully see his whole body when his neck was turned upside down, but now he was squatting on the grass, Xie Zhixu could clearly see his eyes in a pile of long-unknotted beard knots .Like a mirror, it reflected the sky and clouds, but it was bright but without aura, and the eyes were empty.

Xie Zhixu then used it as a mirror to see his sullen face.

"I was wondering why the second senior brother wanted to kill someone..." Xie Zhixu said in a low voice.

He had never met the second senior brother before, and the second senior brother had already completed his studies and left the teacher as soon as he joined the school.I only heard that he was a smart man who left a pair of calligraphy in his room. The lines are vigorous and powerful, and he framed it and hung it behind the table.

However, the third senior brother only started one year later than the second senior brother, so he grew up together, so he should know the second senior brother very well.

Wu Li took off the bamboo tube at his waist, stretched the long pole, and got ready to ride the rickshaw of the fourth child.He didn't seem to care at all about the murder committed by the people in the master's school, and he smiled with beautiful peach blossom eyes, and said to Xie Zhixu: "When you go to Suzhou to catch that kid, ask him yourself. Let's go! Go back to the county for dinner first. !"

Suzhou City, which was promoted to Pingjiang Mansion two years ago, is the most prosperous city on Jiangnan Road and Zhexi Road.The four major canals, Inner and Outer City River, and Shangtang Shantang converge here. Thousands of merchants gather in Fengqiao for ten miles.In addition, the Division of Judicial Judiciary and Division of Prisons and Prisons in western Zhejiang set up their offices in the city, and Suzhou was very popular and popular for a while.

The people in Suzhou are as knowledgeable as Tokyo, and the shopkeepers deal in rare things, such as rare mountains and seas, foreign shellfish, and various performances in the market, such as climbing a rope, throwing a knife and swallowing a sword, all of which are commonplace.

But it was like a mountain flying across the sky on Changmen Street, which was never seen or heard before, and the people in the city rushed to watch it for a while.

It is not necessarily a mountain, but it is actually a person, a giant with a height of ten feet.Shirtless and wearing a gown, the clothes are enough to cut several quilts.

That savage-like giant was carrying two small people on his shoulders. The good people in Suzhou City squinted their eyes and pricked up their ears, and they could still hear the two communicating——

"Let's go eat first, it's already this hour."

"Which restaurant can pretend to be the fourth child?"

"No restaurant can hold it!" someone yelled.

The two little men looked up and jumped off the giant man's shoulders.

It turned out that they were not villains, but two young gentlemen, one in plain white brocade clothes, with a jade tree facing the wind, and the other in a handsome, handsome man with a sword around his waist.

Mr. Saber bowed to the speaker: "Old man, where is the biggest restaurant in the city going?"

The idler said: "The door of the biggest restaurant doesn't even reach the giant's chest. Let me tell you, this giant is almost as tall as our Changmen tower, and there is no room for him!"

The young man in white said: "Let him squat outside, we have to eat too, just show us the way."

The idler said: "You go down this street and cross the Shantang Bridge, you can smell the fragrance and find the Chun Zun Xian, which is the largest restaurant in Suzhou!"

The fourth child stood under the bridge, and Xie Zhixu clearly felt that all the passers-by on the entire Shantang Bridge fell silent.

Also surprised.

It was not easy for the fourth child to cross the bridge in this busy battle.

Wu Li's long pole hit the Xiyi point on the back of the old four's feet: "Jump over."

A stream of air spewed out from the soles of the old four's feet, and he took off on flat ground and crossed the arch bridge.

The pedestrians on the bridge were stunned, their heads followed the fourth child and drew a semicircle from the end of the bridge to the end of the bridge.

The restaurant couldn't be entered, the gate really only reached Lao Si's chest, and, according to the store waiter's repeated assurances, even if Lao Si entered the shop, there would be no chairs for him to sit on.

"However, the steps at our entrance are carved from authentic marble, which is hard and not easily deformed. If the guest officer doesn't mind, we can set up a dining table on the steps." The waiter said.

Chunzunxian is located in the center of Suzhou City, with an excellent geographical location, and there are many people coming and going at the door.Although Xie Zhixu hasn't lived as a young master for a long time, he still can't do things like squatting on the steps of restaurants to eat.

Wu Li dragged him into the restaurant: "Of course we go in to eat, leave the fourth one alone outside, are you afraid that he will be bullied by someone?"

Xie Zhixu made him stumble on the threshold.

The fourth child is a special existence even in the teacher's school. Except for eating and drinking, he is completely like a wooden man, neither listening nor seeing or speaking.Xie Zhixu doesn't know how to treat a person whose mind is empty like a normal person.

But Wu Li has always been in charge of taking care of the fourth child. He said that it's okay to put him outside, so it should be fine.

A stage was set up in the center of the restaurant. Noon was the peak time for diners to gather. On the stage, a gang fire puppet show was being performed, and a few firework-filled moso bamboo poles held the puppets lively.

"The best puppet theater troupe in Suzhou City presents you with a five-soldier hand-to-hand fight show. Hey, everyone, don't miss it!"

The diners near the stage applauded.

The shop waiter led Xie Zhixu and Wu Li to the second floor: "The smell of fireworks on the first floor is strong, and the second floor has a better view. Please follow me, both of you."

Mostly because the two of them are well-dressed and wearing swords and wearing jade, they are not the ones who are short of money, so they led them directly to the private room.

From the open window of the private room, you can see the green lake and mountains on the west bank of Taihu Lake. Looking down, you can see the dark head of the fourth child.The location is very thoughtful.

After Wu Li ordered the dishes, he ordered a few pieces of whole meat for the fourth child: "We all want tendon meat, pork and beef each come a catty, don't cut it open, otherwise this fool will not know that he has chewed something in his mouth, and he can eat it if he keeps eating it." Eat up your restaurant."

"Hey, that's it!" The waiter took the menu and wanted to go downstairs, but was stopped by Xie Zhixu.

"Ask me, who are the famous gentry in Suzhou City?"

It seems that outsiders often ask such questions, and the waiter in the shop blurted out as smoothly as a reciter: "The richest man in Nanhaoma has ten miles of land, and Fengqiao Liu Yuan is making money every day. But the one who can really be worthy of a big name belongs to Taihu Lake Liangjiazhuang!"

The waiter in the shop threw the rag on his shoulders and went downstairs to serve the dishes.

Wu Li crossed Erlang's legs and leaned against the back of the chair, picked up the Gaiwan tea and sipped the famous Taihu Lake Nobile, and said unhurriedly: "What are you in a hurry, no one is here at this moment, let's have a good meal first."

Xie Zhixu didn't understand why his senior brother could be so leisurely, he said worriedly: "If he finds second senior brother later, he might kill one more person."

Wu Li glanced at him, seeing that Xie Zhixu's worried expression did not seem to be fake, he swallowed his words and said: "We only know that those four people have worked in a certain family in Suzhou, don't they? I don’t know the same household or which household it is, and it’s a matter of finding a needle in a haystack if you want to find someone out of a population of 30 in Pingjiang Mansion, so don’t be in a hurry.”

Pan-fried perch in Suzhou is a famous product of Taihu Lake, the restaurant's signature dish, and the waiter in the shop will bring more than a dozen tables of perch when he goes to the second floor.

Wu Li greeted Xie Zhixu and moved his chopsticks: "I'm starving to death - fill your own stomach first, and then worry about other people's affairs, okay?"

Xie Zhixu used to live by the river, and he had eaten a lot of river delicacies, but this was the first time he tasted the tenderness of Taihu Lake perch.He then picked a few pieces of fish.

"Delicious, right?"

"good to eat!"

"There are still a lot of gourmet food in Suzhou, let me show you around sometime!"

"Okay!" Xie Zhixu happily agreed, but his eyebrows immediately sank again, "But why did the second senior brother kill people?"

This topic really can't be avoided, thanking Zhixu with the tip of the chopsticks, Wu Li earnestly taught: "Xiao Wu, let me tell you, don't think your second senior brother is too kind, he is not a good person! Think about it , a disabled child abandoned by his family, picked up by his husband to be brought up by his teacher, dumb and crippled, with a gloomy face all day long, as if everyone had a grudge against him, he must be mentally ill."

Wu Li counted with his fingers: "Let me guess what these cases are all about. First of all, the first cook. Have you ever heard of 'dumb eating coptis'? That's clearly bullying others who are dumb. I can’t tell you how hard it is, if the cook’s dishes don’t suit the second child’s appetite, it’s a good deal for him to cut him into the vegetable mix! After all, the second child’s brain is not normal.

Then there is the bride, where the custom is that anyone who has a happy event must ask a passerby for auspicious words.Look at the dead face of the second child, even with a mouth, he can't spit out ivory.In this world, not only funerals offend happy events, but also happy events offend funeral stars.Offending the mourning star, isn't that the joy that begets the sorrow, and the sorrow that comes when the joy is exhausted?

As for the driver, if he hadn't looked down on his second child on the road, he would have felt that he looked down on a cripple in a wheelchair.If you dare to look down on my incompleteness, I want you to have no good parts in your body.A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, this is also his usual method. "

Xie Zhixu was taken aback when he heard that.Although he has never met the second senior brother, but he trusts in the character of the gentleman, since the gentleman can hang the calligraphy of the second senior brother in the room, it shows that the second senior brother must not be a vicious person.

Xie Zhixu had also looked at that calligraphy before, and it wrote the four characters "know fate and keep routine", and the meaning of Zangfeng's pen was in front of the pen.Xie Zhixu didn't think that the second senior brother was as vicious as Wu Li said.

Besides, Xie Zhixu glanced at Wu Li silently, the third senior brother must never have imagined that the husband would also gossip behind his back, and once told him about the disagreement between the third senior brother and the second senior brother.

"You're exaggerating..."

Wu Li spread his hands: "Yes, you also know that murderers are not necessarily vicious. Instead of worrying about why the second child committed a felony alone, it is better to catch him with your own hands and ask the reason."
