Coming out of the county government office, Yigui and Yin Shu walked in front of each other.

Yin Shu is still thinking about what he said to Qu Heng in prison just now.According to Qu Heng, Li Laosan was an escort, and he had been buying cold food powder from him for a long time. He was very addicted to drugs, but he often couldn't pay the bill.

But that day when Li Laosan came to ask for medicine, he said that he would get the money immediately.Then is it possible that Li Laosan was entrusted by others to participate in the killing of Wang Yun, and he will be rewarded after the incident is completed?

According to this line of thinking, Yin Shu thought, even if Li Laosan didn't participate in the killing of Wang Yun, he was at least an accomplice.

So if he could follow Qu Heng's line to find Li Laosan, then it would not be difficult to find other suspects.

Just thinking about it, Yin Shu took a look.Yigui never talks much, and it's nothing if he doesn't talk for a long time, but Yin Shu always wants to tease him when he is around Yigui, but this time he will follow behind him, and it's as fast as a cup of tea when they leave. No one said anything, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Little master, I'm hungry." Yin Shu muttered softly.

He walked forward without turning his head, as if he didn't hear it at all.

"I want to drink apricot peel water." Yin Shu cleared his throat deliberately.

There is still no turning back.

Yin Shu simply ran to Yigui in three steps and two steps, blocking his way.

"Look, little master, my new clothes are dirty again."

Yigui slightly raised his eyelids, as if to see what flowers he could come up with.

Seeing him looking at her, Yin Shu blinked her eyes, and slowly raised her right hand, which was tightly wrapped by Bai Mu: "My hand hurts."

Yigui looked at that hand, and finally closed his eyes and sighed softly after a long while: "Then you promise me one thing."

"Ok?"

Yigui paused, stared at Yin Shu very seriously, and said for a long time: "Don't hurt yourself again, not for anything."

Yin Shu didn't expect that what he was going to say was this, he was a little surprised, like a child who has done something wrong and is being scolded, he stammered: "I...I didn't..."

"In order to attract Li Laosan, you took the bait for Qu Heng at the expense of hurting yourself." His eyes fell on Yin Shu's wrist, "If I don't arrive in time that day, have you thought about what will happen?"

It was the first time for Yin Shu to hear Yigui say so much in one breath, opened his mouth, and managed to hold back a smile: "Then the fish got hooked in the end, and I'm fine, it's just that something happened. If I didn't come out like this, how could I find Li Laosan in this haystack!"

Yigui snorted coldly: "That's all? You seem to be very proud?"

"No way!" Yin Shu came up and tugged at his cuffs, "Isn't it thanks to you, little master..."

Yigui reached out his hand to stop him from talking, and said sarcastically: "But you dismissed me as soon as the critical moment came."

"Then I promise there will be no next time, can't it?" Yin Shu heard that his tone softened, and immediately recovered a bright face, "Hey little master, where are we going?"

"Mufeng Medical Center."

"what?!"

In the main hall of the medical center, Yigui and Yin Shu were relatively silent, but Bai Mu was very satisfied with their return intact, especially for Yin Shu, he smiled and motioned for the apprentices to bring the soup: "Come on, while it's hot!" drank."

"Can I drink after eating?" Yin Shu rubbed his stomach, but said to Yigui, "I can almost touch my back directly after touching like this."

He looked to the left and saw Bai Mu staring at him drinking the medicine, then looked to the right and saw Yigui with a blank face.

So the hungry Yin Shu was filled with water from the medicinal soup, and let out a loud belch.

Then he saw Bai Mu say to Yigui: "I guess the cook should be ready soon, I'll go and have a look!"

"Cook?" The bitter taste in Yin Shu's mouth was reduced by half when he heard these two words, "Is it the one from Babaozhai? Why hasn't anyone told me that I hired a cook for so long! I'll take this big bowl, There is no room in my stomach!"

"That's just right!" Bai Mu walked to the door, turned his head and said in a long voice, "Today's flower maw chicken is all mine!"

"You are so beautiful!" Yin Shu waved at him, "Let the cook do it quickly!"

The two talked lively, but Yigui closed his eyes and turned the rosary in his hand, his whole body was like a statue.

"Little Master?" Yin Shu called softly, waved his hand in front of Yigui, seeing that he didn't respond, his eyes fell on the rosary in his hand, and suddenly asked him curiously, "When did you become a monk?" ?”

All the while, he kept moving his hands and didn't answer.

"I mean," Yin Shu pointed to the rosary, "the bead in your hand doesn't look like it's been used for a long time, it looks very new."

At this moment, Bai Mu and his servants came in with the chicken, and when he heard Yin Shu's last sentence, he continued, "It's not because he used it to pretend!"

Before the words finished, Bai Mu knew he had said something wrong, covered his mouth, and froze in place.

As clever as Yin Shu, he could already hear something wrong in these words: "Pretending? Pretending to be? Monk?"

Yigui glanced at Bai Mu, this glance made Bai Mu's calves tremble, and he didn't know how to explain even if he wanted to explain.

Seeing him like this, Yin Shu simply said to himself: "Little master, if you want me to tell you, you really don't look like a monk. You are capable of literature and martial arts, and you have so many valuable skills. How can you be a monk?"

Yi Gui's face remained normal, he smiled calmly, and said to Yin Shu, "You seem to really dislike me being a monk."

"Of course I don't want it!" Yin Shu immediately leaned over and said in a somewhat ambiguous voice, "The monk is heartless and desireless, so boring!"

Yigui put the rosary on the table with a bang, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat, and then said in a disapproving tone: "Then you just think I'm not."

After eating, Yin Shu dragged them back, and the two of them went to the address of Li Laosan's house provided by Qu Heng.

"Li Family Village? Are you sure it's this place?" Yigui looked at the dilapidated village in front of him with suspicion in his tone.

"This was written by Qu Heng." Yin Shu handed the page to Yigui, "Is there something wrong?"

Yigui sat on the horse and thought for a moment: "Lijia Village is the poorest village near Mobei. It is said that people often starve to death here."

There are row upon row of shops in Mobei, and Lijia Village and Mobei are only a few miles away, but this kind of thing can happen, it is really unimaginable.

Yin Shu reacted quickly: "You mean that cold food powder is far from cheap. Although people who are addicted to it will not be rich or wealthy, they are far from what the villagers of Lijia Village can afford?"

Yigui nodded: "The people here don't even have the money to buy food, I'm afraid they don't even know where their next meal will be."

But now that they have come, the two decided to go into the village to find out.

So they tied the horse at the entrance of the village.Because Qu Heng's address was only written as Lijiacun, the two of them had to find it by themselves.

"I only know which village he lives in." Qu Heng was furious when he thought of Li's Village, "I really don't remember which house. He took me there once before and gave me all the last valuables in the house." .In that damn place, every household looks the same!"

Now Yin Shu remembered what Qu Heng said, but it matched the scene in front of him.

On the bare yellow land in front of me, there is a row of all-adobe houses, crooked, and some thatched roofs have collapsed halfway.

As soon as Yigui and Yin Shu entered the village, they met an old man on the side of the road leaning on a crutch with a crooked neck.

"Master, do you know which building Mr. Li lives in?" Yin Shu stepped forward and asked.

The uncle stopped in his tracks, stared at the two of them with cloudy eyes for a long while, and said loudly, "What mountain?"

"Third Li, uncle, old—three—"

At this time, a fat aunt passing by heard the conversation of several people, stepped forward and interjected: "Which Li Laosan? The whole village here is named Li, and there are several children in every household. Which one are you looking for?"

Yin Shu recalled it for a while, and said with gestures: "It's about this tall, of medium build, with a short beard on the chin, and wearing coarse clothes."

After listening for a while, Yigui turned to Yin Shu: "Why don't you draw it and try."

Yin Shu nodded and looked at the woman: "Do you have a pen and paper?"

At the dilapidated dining table of the fat aunt's house, Yin Shu held a worn-out writing brush between his slender fingers, and after a little thought, he brought the figure of a middle-aged man to life on the paper.

"Oh! This is not the old Li's house in the east of the village, the third boy who is a bodyguard!" The fat aunt stared at the drawing paper, patted her thigh and exclaimed in surprise, and called her son to confirm.

Yin Shu put down his pen, and looked at Yigui: "Then can you take us to him?"

The fat aunt showed distress: "This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. His family moved out about a month ago, and they don't live here anymore."

"Then do you know where he moved?" Yin Shu asked.

"I don't know about that. I've heard people say that he seems to... got a large sum of money from nowhere, and then, suddenly one day, he emptied the whole family." The fat aunt gestured exaggeratedly with both hands.

One sentence caused the beads that were about to be connected into a thread to shatter all over the ground.

After tracing this point, starting from meeting Widow Fan, first through Xia Xiaoer, and then through Shi Tou Da, the two went to Qu Heng's house, and found Li Laosan after a narrow escape, but they only caught up with someone to go to Loukong.

But this trip was not in vain, the fat aunt's words just corresponded to Yin Shu's conjecture, Li Laosan had indeed received a large amount of silver recently, so this person must be inseparable from Wang Yun's death!

Yin Shu closed her eyes, carefully recalling all the details she saw at Qu Heng's house that day.

Reconnecting all the things in series, Yin Shu frowned thinking, always felt that there seemed to be a link missing somewhere, so that the string of beads could not finally take shape.

There must be something else this thread missed.

"Little master." After a long time, Yin Shu suddenly opened his eyes, and smiled brightly at Yigui, "Do you want to watch lead a snake out of its hole?"
