[75] I treat you as a brother

Zhan Zhao nodded lightly: "It's really interesting to hear you say that, then the two of us will go to visit and observe it."

The man thought that after saying this, they would calm down, but he didn't know that the two of them were so stubborn, so they stopped trying to persuade them, and just angrily reported their location, and then went to busy with their own affairs.

Zhan Zhao and the two didn't delay much, and took the address and direction all the way to find it.

Because of the death of someone in Cao's house, the family was indifferent, and there were very few people coming and going in the surrounding streets, and the only ones were just passing by. If you want to stop someone to ask about the situation of Cao's house, you can't find anyone.

The gate of the mansion has been sealed, and there are guards outside.

Zhan Zhao didn't intend to alarm them, so he walked around to the backyard and dragged Bai Yutang in.

Both feet fell to the ground easily, and Bai Yutang glanced at him indifferently.

Zhan Zhao keenly caught it: "What's wrong?"

Bai Yutang: "You are a dignified fourth-rank guard, and you don't leave the main entrance. How can you learn to be that snitch?"

Zhan Zhao said: "That's not to take care of you. It's fine if I'm the only one on this trip, and I'll inevitably be asked about everything with you, and don't you also hate us officials?"

Bai Yutang glanced at him again: "...It's not that I hate everyone."

Since Cao's mansion died that day, the surrounding furnishings have not been touched.

The banquet seats in the backyard are all decorated, and the stage has not been removed.

Walking into the front hall, the leftovers from the day of the birthday banquet were actually there. Although it was already autumn, the food was just thrown on the table in such a bright light, and it was left unattended for many days, no wonder it didn't attract insects.

The two almost went in with their front feet, and then came out with their back feet immediately.

There is no way, the smell is too bad, and the scene is too "spectacular".

Before Zhan Zhao looked closely, he had already seen several small white lives surging in the bowl.

He immediately grabbed Bai Yutang's shoulders and pulled him out in time.

"Don't go in, just wait here for me." Zhan Zhao knew that Bai Yutang was a clean freak, and worried that he wouldn't be able to accept it for a while, so he would directly pull out his knife and demolish the house.

While talking, he fanned himself with his hands, took a big breath of the outside air, then pinched his nose, turned around and went in again.

Bai Yutang looked at his back, wanting to follow him, but thinking of those little lives, he finally gave up.

Holding his breath, Zhan Zhao searched the house as quickly as possible, but unfortunately none of them were useful, and there were nests of mice and cockroaches.

One of the mouse brothers may have a really good appetite, and his stomach is so round that he can hardly walk.

Zhan Zhao hesitated for a long time, but still picked up its tail, and took the gluttonous mouse away.

After going out the door and seeing Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao finally let out his pent-up breath—this is a horrible place, even if he is killed, he doesn't want to come back again.

Seeing him coming out, Bai Yutang instinctively stepped forward to ask questions, but before he could say anything, he first saw the lively gray mouse in his hand, he immediately frowned and was about to knock it down.It's a pity that Zhan Zhao had taken precautions. He flicked the mouse's tail with his palm and let the mouse brother fly into the air.

"Be merciful, don't hurt my Brother Mouse!" Seeing that he seemed to be chasing him, Zhan Zhao hurriedly took two steps back, protecting the gray mouse that had been knocked unconscious by him to his chest.

Bai Yutang didn't know what he was trying to do, his eyelids trembled and he said, "What are you doing with a dead mouse, throw it away!"

Zhan Zhao protected the mouse with one hand, and wrapped his other arm around Bai Yutang's shoulder, "I'll throw it later, you watch first."

Bai Yutang asked anxiously, "What are you looking at?"

Zhan Zhao brought up the mouse again and came to the two of them: "I looked around, and this mouse brother is the one that steals the most."

The gray mouse seemed to have recovered from the dizziness just now, and the four hanging in the air kept kicking around.

Zhan Zhao: "I just went in and checked, there was blood in it, but not much, and the smell of blood was not as strong as the bad smell of the food. But so many people died in Cao's house, if there was trauma, there must be more than this little blood, Therefore, I speculate that the cause of their death is probably poisoning."

Hearing what he said, Bai Yutang finally took a look at the mouse without prejudice: "You want to say that poison is not in the food."

Zhan Zhao: "We don't know much about the situation now. The only clue is that someone took a fancy to the 'Tiantian Ear' and killed Cao's family in order to snatch it. And he chose the day of the birthday banquet, and only the Cao family When you were a human—if it were you, how would you choose to kill someone?"

Bai Yutang said: "If you don't want to make a fuss, it's true that poisoning is more convenient without anyone noticing. But if it's me, it won't be so troublesome, and it will be faster to go down with a knife."

Zhan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yes, yes, no one can compare with you Bai Wuye, and not everyone can have your skill."

Bai Yutang was flattered by his praise, but he didn't show anything on the surface.

The two of them stared at the fat mouse for a while, and Zhan Zhao finally let go of his hand and let it go free.

Brother Mouse finally escaped from the clutches of the devil. Although his fat body was a little dragged down, he still used his hands and feet to escape as fast as possible, for fear that if he slowed down, he would be caught and ravaged by these two gods again.

The two wandered around Cao's mansion again, but did not see any clues, so they had to leave angrily.

"I'm going to visit the county government office, will you go with me?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang when he came out again.

"Now you don't mind being questioned with me?" Bai Yutang glanced at him, and said revengefully, "Forget it, I hate being an official—I'll go try the local tea, the teahouse is waiting for you."

After speaking, he took a deep breath and left with ease.

It seemed that she didn't want to spend more time with him.

Zhan Zhao: "..."

He still holds grudges, what a kid.

Without Bai Yutang to follow, Zhan Zhao didn't have so many worries.When he arrived at the local county government office, he showed his badge and broke in.

At this time, the county magistrate was not busy working diligently, and hurriedly solved the case, but he was still sleeping late in the bedroom.

When the servants came to report, the county magistrate Xu Miao was in a daze and hadn't woken up yet.

"Who?" He squinted his eyes and asked, "Who did you say is here?"

The servant bowed his head, and hurriedly repeated: "Lord Zhan Zhaozhan, the one who works in Kaifeng Mansion."

When Xu Miao heard about Kaifeng Mansion, her mind buzzed, and she immediately regained her energy.

"Please... hurry up and come in!"

The servant was about to reply, and wanted to say that the person had already come in.Before he could make a sound, a man suddenly jumped down from the beam.

Zhan Zhao's clothes fluttered, but he didn't even make a sound when he landed.Turning the giant que in his palm, Zhan Zhao bowed and said with a smile, "It's almost noon, Master Xu, isn't he going to get up?"
