On Yong'an Avenue, Yin Shu and one after another came out of the tailor shop.

Yin Shu has changed into a new outfit.The long hair is tied up with a gold-plated jade hairpin, and the neck is slender.The moon-white gown set off his snow-like skin, and a black ribbon outlined his lean back. With a pair of moiré cloth boots, he looked like an elegant nobleman, ecstatic, He is no different from the ghosts in the dark night.

Holding a blue folding fan in his hand, he opened it with a "crash", with a smile on his brows: "Little Master, what do you think of my body? Today is a waste of money for you."

Yigui paused on the spot, hummed lightly, and walked forward in a blink of an eye.

"Hey little master, why do you only care about paying the money and don't look at me!" Yin Shu yelled and followed.

When the two of them approached the gate of the county government office, they saw a woman walking over in a hurry.

A square scarf was wrapped around her neck, her hair was tightly tied into a bun at the back of her head, she couldn't hide her disheveled look, and she looked worried. When she walked over, she almost bumped into Yin Shu, but Yigui reached out and grabbed Yin Shu's sleeve .

Realizing that she almost bumped into someone just now, the woman just woke up like a dream: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I walked with my head down and didn't pay attention..."

It was still early, and it stands to reason that very few people would come to the county government office at this time if there was no urgent matter.

There was a fresh abrasion on the woman's left cheek.Yin Shu suddenly recalled what Master Li said at Wang Yun's house yesterday, "The widow, surnamed Fan, is the neighbor of this family", so she reached out and stopped him.

"Please wait a moment." Yin Shu immediately became vigilant, pointed to the Yamen behind him with his fan, "Are you going to report the crime?"

The woman was obviously stunned: "I...I am not."

Hearing what she said, and seeing her hesitant to speak, Yin Shu confirmed his guess: "Is your surname Fan? The one who first discovered Wang Yun yesterday?"

"Yes... yes, it's me." The woman stammered, and then she realized, "How do you know?"

Yin Shu looked up at the gate of the yamen, and noticed that there would be no one there, so he said: "We were entrusted by the county magistrate to investigate this case. The county magistrate has already told us everything about you. If there are any clues, just contact us." Let's talk!"

While talking, the three of them walked to a secluded place next to the county government office.

The woman twisted her fingers, looking very nervous.

Yigui's expression remained unchanged, but his body moved to the side, and he quietly covered the woman with his figure, so that when outsiders looked over, they could only see a person standing upright, silently counting the rosary beads with a cold face. return.

Seeing this scene, Widow Fan finally felt relieved, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "It's like this, there is something that I didn't tell Magistrate Xu and the others when I reported it to the officials yesterday."

Yin Shu shook his fan lightly, but his expression sank.

"When I saw it yesterday morning, that... well, I was so scared..." Widow Fan frowned, as if she was still in fear.

At this time, Yigui also turned around and listened to Widow Fan with Yin Shu.

"Alas..." Widow Fan slightly pursed her lower lips: "I am a vegetable shop owner. People here usually get up late in the morning, so I go shopping first after getting up every day, and come to the vegetable shop at noon."

Yin Shu nodded, motioning for her to continue.

"Although the hours of people who come to buy vegetables and fruits every day are not fixed, I usually don't close the stall until close to Haishi. The night before yesterday, when I was returning home, I bumped into a man in front of Wang Yun's house..."

The night of the incident.

On Yong'an Avenue, the shops went dark one after another.Widow Fan, who had just closed the stall, was walking home, surrounded by darkness, she couldn't help speeding up her pace.

Wang Yun just bought some fruits and vegetables at her vegetable shop in the afternoon, and asked her to deliver them to the house early the next morning.This is not a small business, so when Widow Fan passed by Wang Yun's house, she intentionally or unintentionally took a look at Wang Yun's house.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but it makes Widow Fan almost cry out.

In the dark corner of the wall, there was a person standing quietly at this moment!

At this time, Wang Yun's mansion was brightly lit, and there were noises of punching fists, but why was there a person standing alone here, looking furtive like that.

In the dark, Widow Fan didn't see the real thing. She felt that the other person was not familiar with her. She probably didn't live in the neighborhood nearby. He yelled, "Who!"

The other party had lowered his head halfway, obviously frightened by the sound, and was alert all over his body, his eyes met Widow Fan's, but he didn't make a sound.

On the [-]th day of the lunar calendar, the sky was dull and there was no moonlight. Widow Fan didn't dare to take a closer look. She just relied on her intuition and decided that this person was probably not a good person.

She looked around, and saw a few dark yellow lanterns at the end of the street in the distance, faintly shadowed in the night.

That's the night watchman.

Widow Fan didn't think much about it, she wanted to break her throat and yell out "Come here..."

Unexpectedly, before she uttered the first word, she felt a hand covering her mouth tightly, and there was a burst of cold metal touch on her neck.

"Shut up if you don't want to die, bitch!" The man deliberately lowered his voice and threatened viciously.

Widow Fan had never seen such a scene before, her legs immediately went limp, her whole body stiffened, she couldn't even stand still, and she slipped on the ground.

The man behind her tightly strangled her neck: "I know you are the widow who sells vegetables, I advise you to be more sensible, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Widow Fan was almost out of breath, so she had to answer vaguely in order to survive.

At this time, the man saw the yamen servant patrolling the street looking over, so he gave Widow Fan a hard shove, pushed her out, and quickly ran away without knowing where he was going.

"I was thrown on the ground and my face was scratched..." Widow Fan wanted to touch her cheek when she spoke, but she couldn't help but "hiss" when she touched the wound, "I don't know if there will be a scar or something. "

"Can you finally see his face clearly?" Yin Shu frowned.

"I didn't dare to look back at that time, I got up from the ground and ran home in a stumbling manner." Widow Fan's voice was filled with tears.

"Then why didn't you report to the government?" Yin Shu asked.

Widow Fan looked sad: "I'm afraid! I was alone in a woman's house, and I finally got my life back, so how dare I report to the police!" She thought for a while and said, "Besides, my house is far away from Wang Yun's house. It's not far away, if that person rushes to take revenge on me, I... I... I won't be able to run away at that time." She said as if recalling the scene of that day, her lips trembling slightly.

"However, after thinking about it, I couldn't sleep, so I went out again in the dark." Widow Fan said, "I found a night watchman nearby, and I didn't tell him what happened, so I asked him to go to Wang Yun's house to see what was there." No movement."

"What did he say?" Yin Shu asked.

"The man went, but he came back soon and said that all the lights in Wang Yun's house were off, and several night watchmen on that street said they didn't see anyone. Later, the night watchman scolded me, saying that I was fine at night. look for a job."

Yin Shu thought for a while: "Do you still remember the physical characteristics of the person you met at the door of Wang Yun's house? For example, tall, short, fat and thin?"

Widow Fan thought for a while: "The height, probably, is about as tall as yours. As for the fatness...it was too dark at the time, so I really didn't see it clearly..."

The range is rather vague.Yin Shu is more than five feet tall. Although he is considered slender, the local men in Mobei are generally tall. This height is not uncommon. If you look for someone based on this, it is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

At this moment, Yigui, who hadn't spoken for a long time, looked over, his eyes just fell on the scratch on Widow Fan's left cheek, and suddenly said: "Have you used sesame oil or something this morning?"

After his reminder, Yin Shu also smelled the faint scent of sesame oil on Widow Fan's body.

Widow Fan was stunned for a few seconds when she heard the words, and she touched her cheek with her hand, a little embarrassed: "Oh, yes, it is a folk remedy that my niece told me. She saw that my face was hurt, so she said it was okay to complain. Sesame oil can prevent scars in the future. The smell of this sesame oil is also strange..."

Speaking of this, Widow Fan suddenly stopped talking, opened her eyes wide, and shouted: "I remember! Smell!"

Yin Shu and Yigui looked at each other, and Qiqi looked at her, only to see that she looked excited, as if she suddenly thought of something.

"What's the smell?" Yin Shu hurriedly asked.

"That man smells of cold food powder!" Widow Fan cried out, her hands trembling.

Yin Shu's face darkened: "Are you sure?"

Widow Fan seemed to have been touched by something suddenly, she nodded her head a few times, and burst into tears: "This must not be wrong. The guy in my family, back then... just ate this and died!"

Yin Shu looked at Yigui, and the two said the name almost at the same time: "Bai Mu!"

In a traditional Chinese medicine shop in the east of Mobei City, Bai Mu directed a few people to unload the medicinal materials they had just purchased from their horses.

"Realgar, put it here. Houttuynia cordata...Houttuynia cordata put it over there. Ochre, hey, where did my ocher go..." He muttered to himself while tidying up.

"Bai Langzhong, have you heard of Hanshi San?" Yin Shu stepped into the shop and rushed to Bai Mu.

Bai Mu was counting the medicines, but he trembled from the sound, and scattered the medicines in his hands all over the floor: "You, why are you here? Oh no, why did you start running around when you got better? By the way, the county Is Ya not picking on you anymore?"

As he spoke, he glanced back, and immediately understood: "Hey, don't tell me you're all settled?"

He didn't speak at all, and he was noncommittal.

Yin Shu closed his fan, and was about to bend down to pick up the fallen bark and grass roots, when Yigui stopped him and said to the two waiters next to him, "Come and clean it up."

"Thank you, little master!" Yin Shu smiled.

Bai Mu clicked his tongue softly: "Hey, did you bring my fish maw chicken? Without the fish maw chicken, there's no need to talk about it!"

"There are still a lot left in the little master's house!" Yin Shu said with a smile.

"Leftover?!" Bai Mu immediately frowned, and yelled, "What do you mean, did you steal the fish maw chicken behind my back?!"
