The servant's face turned pale in an instant, as if he saw ghosts and ghosts, and immediately slammed the door hard, followed by the sound of a bunch of bolts being inserted across the door, and he was extremely flustered when he listened carefully.

"My master just moved here. No one of us knows where the previous Dong family went. Please go back!"

Suddenly being turned away, Yao Qiyun looked at the extremely tightly closed door, his slightly surprised pupils were full of thought.

Dong Yizhi has close contacts with his seniors, if he wants to move, he will definitely write to Yaomen in advance.

What is suspicious is that until today when I came to visit, I found that his whole family has disappeared, completely missing.

Looking at several nearby courtyards, Yao Qiyun discovered that the surrounding courtyards were all closed doors, and the light gray courtyard was desolate and lifeless, contrasting with the few sparse old trees in front of the courtyard, it seemed dead and silent , which is a little uncomfortable.

Reminiscent of the terrified state of the servants when they heard about Dong's house just now, it would be very unrealistic to try to find out the news from the nearby residents.

While he was thinking, there was a slight movement from the door of the previous family. Yao Qiyun immediately disappeared like a phantom, and hid behind a bottle of evil stone lion at the door to prevent them from finding him.

After a while, I saw a very noble young man walking out of the courtyard with an extremely slim woman. The two of them were silently walking towards a tea shop not far away.

Right now, these two people are the only clues to understand the cause and effect of the incident, so Yao Qiyun followed them all the way, stepping into the tea shop one after the other.

In the elegant and fresh main hall, he chose a seat near the window. As soon as he opened the round wooden stool and sat down, a servant came up to clean the table for him and brought him another plate of fried rice for tasting. melon.

Then handed over the finely illustrated "Xiancheng Small Tea" with both hands, and stood sideways nodding and bowing: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

Yao Qiyun casually pointed to a refreshment and sent him away.He seemed to be concentrating on eating melon seeds, but his five keen senses were fully focused on the opposite table behind the green bamboo screen, and the man and woman sitting on it who were silent from beginning to end.

The woman in the printed colorful silk satin dress first blew her bangs on her forehead sullenly.

Facing the plate of delicious dishes in front of him, he couldn't hide his bored tone: "Long'er, this place is not good."

Taking in all her negative emotions, Long'er's face was serious, and he didn't eat a few spoonfuls of rice: "Tao'er, it's not like you don't know what's going on in the street now, it's good if we can come out to get some air, you What else do you think is bad?"

Tao'er knocked off the chopsticks he was about to pick up vegetables with a snap, and complained loudly angrily: "It's not good anywhere! The door is locked all day long, it's so annoying!"

"Stop making trouble for no reason...if..."

He repeatedly waved his hands to reprimand her for her aggressive behavior, but Long Er seemed to have some concerns when he was halfway through speaking, looking left and right to look around the entire hall.

At this time, there were not many people in the teahouse. Besides the waiters, a few businessmen joined in and sat at the far table drinking high-quality oolong tea. Only Yao Qiyun, who had no tablemate, sat closer to them.

Aware of his strange guarded eyes, Yao Qiyun remained calm and looked straight ahead naturally.

He bent his knuckles with his right hand, and suddenly knocked heavily on Shen Mu's tea table several times.

The young man who was swimming around some tables heard the sound of knocking on the table, and immediately walked over in small steps, and asked with a smile: "Guest officer, is there anything else you need?"

"Your dishes are served too slowly."

With a cold voice, Yao Qiyun pushed a plate of melon seed shells piled up in a hillock down the corner of the table.

He was born with a cool air, and he was full of provocative skills, which made him look even more intimidating at the moment.

The boy's face froze with fright: "I kept the guest waiting for a long time. You, the sesame oil tea cake you ordered took a long time to make. I will go to remind you later..."

Under Yao Qiyun's "staring gaze", Zhan Weiwei cleaned up the scattered melon seed shells with both hands, not daring to provoke him at all.

Probably a tricky young quack...

Seeing that Yao Qiyun was focused on finding fault with others, he didn't pay attention to their conversation.Taki'er let out a sigh of relief, a look of frustration flashed across his haggard face due to long-term sleep deprivation, and he wanted to speak, but found that his voice was trembling uncontrollably!

After thinking carefully, he swallowed first to calm down his emotions, raised his right hand to cover his mouth with the sleeve of his robe, and leaned closer to Taoer who was sitting at the opposite table and said:

"I knew that the whole family surnamed Dong was exterminated. I wouldn't want to live in such an unlucky place if I was beaten to death! It's just that the house has been painted and mortgaged, and we can't sell the yard for a while. Let's go out less in the past few months." Avoid the limelight..."

His voice was deliberately kept to a minimum, but Yao Qiyun, who has excellent hearing, still heard everything.

The boy who was stared at by him had just cleaned up the melon seed husks when he felt the gaze inexplicably getting colder. He hurriedly apologized in a low voice, and walked towards the kitchen in desperation.

Tao'er's arrogance has dissipated quite a bit, and she exhaled foul air for a long while before she pretended to be meaningless, but also lowered her voice:

"Even so, it's just a grievance between the murderer and the Dong family. We didn't provoke him, so why hide at home?"

"It's always good to keep a low profile."

After explaining a few words in a low voice, Long'er took a sip of tea, her bloodless lips visibly trembled a few times in an instant, among them, there was no one knew how much fear came from the heart:

"The Dong family is too ostentatious in their daily behavior, and the patriarch is very arrogant, and he has made a lot of troubles with others, so he will be retaliated against..."

"There are many ways to retaliate, but killing people is wrong. Why don't the officials bring him to justice?"

Long'er took a sip of tea when she heard the words, and for a moment didn't know whether to say she was innocent or naive, and after a while, she whispered: "They are poor officials, how dare they take care of this matter..."

Just as he was about to say something more, it just so happened that the servant came over to add some tea, coughed lightly in an evasive way, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

After the servants delivered the teacups and then retreated one by one, Tao'er asked closely, "Why can't I just let it go?"

As if he was keeping secret about the tragedy, Long'er only gave a simple answer: "No one knows whether the murderer is a man or a woman, and where he is now, so how can we manage it?"

"But since we moved here, no one has come to investigate." Tao'er's eyes flickered. According to the facts, it seems that no one has taken care of this case.

The light in her eyes quietly stayed on her bewildered face, shaking her head slightly, Taki'er only made up her mind and went on to say:

"I heard that the next day after the massacre, the government in the city received a blood letter, warning that any officials who want to investigate at this time will end up like the Dong family."

Recalling the fear of these days, Taki'er's face became darker and haggard, and he closed his eyes and rubbed his temples with endless sorrow:

"Many officials felt that one thing more is worse than one thing less, and they unanimously announced that they would seal the mouths of several residents in our neighborhood and not spread it around. If I hadn't learned about this matter from a few words from my neighbors last time, I'm afraid even I would have been confused. In the drum!"

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end. After learning the truth, Tao'er held on to the handle in a daze, unable to recover for a long while.

If even the government is helpless, then this will most likely become a headless murder.

Moreover, no one can say whether the murderer is still in Xiancheng, so it's better not to discuss it.

Yao Qiyun frowned, turned his eyes slightly, and stared out the window thoughtfully.

As the sun sets, the outline of a row of courtyards is covered with a layer of halo in the dusk, which becomes more and more unclear, and everything seems confusing.

"We just entered the old site of Dong's family, and we didn't have any grudges with anyone."

Staring at Taki'er who also fell silent, he noticed his haggard face.Tao'er raised her spirits and said some thoughtful words:

"Wait a month or two before the news of this case dies down, and nothing will happen."

Holding her hand, Long'er squeezed out a nostalgic smile: "During this time, I really wronged you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tao'er stood up suddenly, crossed the table and kissed him.

Leaving a faint wine-red lip mark on his face, he apologized in a soft voice: "You don't feel well either, don't say it..."

The troubles that had been simmering in his heart for a long time finally came to an end. Long'er touched the moist socket of his left cheek.

"Miss, you are so considerate..."

Realizing that the conversation between these two people was getting more and more deviant, Yao Qiyun inadvertently turned his face to the side, and his face twitched immediately.

Through the finger-width gap between the green pendulum, one can see that Long Er is holding Tao Er's face, immersed in their bittersweet kiss.

In the teahouse where there are no people at all, there is still a self who seems to be out of the way.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across his eyes, Yao Qiyun turned his head and looked out of the window again.

If I stay here again, it is obviously extremely inappropriate.

And it is estimated that the two of them only know so much, and they can only find other clues about the murderer elsewhere.

The silk curtains were suddenly lifted by the wind, and he nimbly climbed up the window sill, and jumped down the window.

"The fragrant sesame oil tea cake is out of the oven! Guest officer, you have been waiting for a long time..."

The little servant deliberately yelled to be brave, to suppress the shock of being treated coldly by Yao Qiyun before.

He held the case in both hands, with delicate refreshments placed on it;

"Go, go?!"

The little servant was dumbfounded, and stood there almost petrified. He saw a white shadow outside the window flashing for a few times, and then disappeared.

Several militiamen in Dong's old house carried fiery red gauze lanterns and walked through the courtyard to guard.

Although they raised their vigilance to [-] points, they still could not
