The jade pendant is exactly the same, according to Tang's statement, but the material is more expensive, it is not that rare, if you have a lot of money, it can be customized, it is not uncommon to have such two pieces in the world, but before Leng Nianwen wore it for nothing, just My own preference and habits have nothing to do with others, why is it suddenly important now, and others will kill for it?

This point cannot be ignored in this case.

Chao Muyun pondered: "This lost cousin, who has been lost for so many years, should have never contacted anyone?"

"No."

Ye Wugou's expression was firm: "There has been no news about her, and no one knows what happened to her. Her father has been looking for her for so many years, but he has searched everywhere suspicious, but found nothing. It was only recently that he found her. One or two messages, but also vague... This little girl, it is impossible, and there is no way to send letters back."

The little girl got lost at the age of seven or eight, and she was still a child. Even though she had played with Leng Nianwen, who was five or six years old, they had come to Beijing from other places. They were not familiar with each other, and it was difficult for them to have deep feelings in a short period of time. Forgetfulness is great, and I never saw each other again...

Chao Muyun is almost certain that there is absolutely no element of love. Even a childhood sweetheart by chance needs to be fermented by later contact. Leng Nianwen will carry the same jade pendant with him. He feels that the reason must not be due to this kind of emotion .

what is that?

"You said that the lost cousin is now in Tamura, not far away. Is the news true?"

Chao Muyun felt that he had to search for the answer.

Ye Wugou saw what he was thinking: "It's not too far away. If you want to find it, you need to do it as soon as possible. My news channel shows that this village is not a good place. It's hard for a father to find information about his daughter. I'm afraid I can't hold back my energy, I'm afraid something will happen."

Small conflicts and small frictions are fine, but if there is a big trouble, it will definitely affect their investigation.

Without hesitation, Chao Muyun said, "Then go now."

Ye Wugou looked him up and down: "Are you going?"

Chao Muyun thought about what he had just said. The village is not a good place. It is not far away, but it has been silent for so many years. With the information of Renyazi's abduction, no matter how you think about it, there is the possibility of a criminal den. The government suppressed it by force. Evidence, it takes a little longer to go through the process, and I am also worried that such a den will run away, and I am afraid that it will not work if I want to get any useful information later... It is better to make an unannounced visit first.

Unannounced visits rely on observation and the subtleties of the information points. The number of Dali Temple officials is limited, and they are too busy to get away. Picking one urgently may not be his own.

He looked into Ye Wugou's eyes: "I'll go."

"Your body..."

Ye Wugou frowned slightly, disapproving, thought of something, suddenly changed his voice, and smiled: "I have a good horse, very handsome, it can travel thousands of miles a day, if it goes well, I will be back in the future, you Would you like to come with me?"

Chao Muyun pondered.

Now that the homicide case has just been released, all the information is being investigated, and the work of the officials is the top priority. Before the information is collected in a file, he is actually not too busy. Finish.

He made a quick decision: "When are we leaving?"

"It's a little far away," Ye Wugou looked at the sky, "I don't have much time to rest, so I have to hurry at night."

Chao Muyun understood: "So, let's prepare separately and arrange the follow-up matters. After an hour, you come to Dali Temple to pick me up."

Ye Wugou: "Okay."

We are not idlers with nothing to do, we all have things to do, and if we suddenly have to leave for a short period of time, we have to make arrangements.

Ye Wugou needed to do something, Chao Muyun didn't know, and didn't want to inquire, he quickly returned to Dali Temple, analyzed the direction according to the latest news from the officials, gave new instructions and suggestions, and simple Contingency plans, how to deal with them...

Action is quite fast.

When the time was almost up, he received a message from the little general Hua Kaiji, saying that he was detained by his family because he had been messing around for several days, and he would not be able to sneak out until a little later. After thinking about it with Muyun, he wrote back a note, saying Don't worry, let's take care of his family with peace of mind first, but if he can come out tomorrow, let him go directly to Tiancun without having to come to Dali Temple.

The officials were all investigating the case, and they couldn't spare him. Although Ye Wugou had high force value, but Tamura's situation was unknown, and he didn't know if there was any danger. One more person was also an extra help...

After everything was arranged, Chao Muyun changed his clothes and prepared to leave.

"Wait—my lord wait—"

The little girl Shi Yaya ran over, holding a clean blue cloth bag in her hand: "I made some small cakes and snacks, you take them with you!"

Through the fabric, Chao Muyun could feel the warmth of the food inside, obviously he had been busy for a long time before making it.

He thought for a while, opened the cloth towel and took out one: "I don't need that much, this is enough."

How could Shiyaya not know his temper, this is to comfort her, this person is always like this, he refuses with a smile, and doesn't put pressure on others, but after getting along for so many days, the little girl has become more courageous, and she can't refuse to wrap the cloth stuff it over—

"It's not for you to eat now. What if you're hungry at night? What if you're busy tomorrow and don't have a place to eat? Those who stutter can always feel at ease," she raised her head slightly, looking at Chao Muyun, "You Didn’t you say that there will be a horse to pick you up, you don’t need to carry these with you, you can just put them on the horse’s backpack, just a little, it’s really not heavy, and it doesn’t take up space!”

Looking at the little girl's clear and clean eyes, Chao Muyun said, "That's right, I'm much more courageous."

Shi Yaya was startled, and realized that she was a bit fierce just now, and she was a little embarrassed: "Is it... Is it a little bit useful? I haven't had much illness recently..."

Chao Muyun took the cloth bag in her hand: "It will get better and better. You have to remember that I will be here at any time. If you feel uncomfortable or sad occasionally, you can think of me more. I will take care of it." I can be your brother, remember?"

"Ok!"

The little girl was tearful, embarrassed to be seen, turned around and walked out, and ran to the corner of the veranda: "Then you come back early!"

There was a sound of horseshoes at the door, and someone was coming.

Chao Muyun walked out with the cloth bag, and saw Ye Wugou.

Sure enough, it is a very beautiful horse, with big and bright eyes, and its hair is a kind of bright maroon, with broken golden lights reflected in the sun. The visual effect is fat and strong, and its muscles are full of beauty. With a sense of strength, this is a horse in its prime and beautiful.

Look at the person sitting right away, purple robe and deep clothes, straight shoulders and back, golden mask with tall horns, and a green landscape paper folding fan in his hand, with a casual wave, he is a flamboyant young man, very ostentatious.

Chao Muyun has long been used to this man's behavior: "Not bad."

"How can the things of my Chiwei Gang be vulgar?"

Anyway, the bottom had already been dropped in front of the other party, Ye Wugou felt no pressure at all, stretched out his empty hand towards Chao Muyun, his smiling lips curled up, and he was a little flirtatious: "Master Chao, shall we go?"

Chao Muyun put his hand over, with a calm expression on his face: "I'm not good at riding a horse, this trip will be too tiring for you."

Ye Wugou closed his fan, pulled and lifted his hand, put the other hand on Chao Muyun's waist to help him exert his strength, the corners of his clothes fluttered, he put the person in front of him, and took his hand He put his cloth bag on the side of the horse casually, and touched his ear: "I will not disgrace my life."

This sense of distance is actually a bit ambiguous, but if you don't care about it yourself, this is an ordinary carpool with colleagues.

Sitting in front of Ye Wugou, Chao Muyun was extremely calm: "Let's go."

He is actually more chic than the romantic person behind him.

Ye Wugou laughed, with his legs slightly clamping the horse's belly: "Drive!"

The two figures left like a whirlwind, Shi Yaya almost didn't react, walked out from behind the pillars of the veranda in a daze, rubbed his eyes.

It seems... a bit nice, whether it's a horse or a human.

Coincidentally, Hou Jiuhong came back at this time: "Where is the sick man?"

Shi Yaya didn't like people giving Chao Muyun such a nickname, so he snorted: "Let's go."

"Gone? Who did you go with?" Hou Jiuhong looked in disbelief. Isn't this sick man addicted to being an official? He doesn't care if he has a case.

Shi Yaya shook his head: "I don't know, that man wears a mask and says he is a member of the Chiwei Gang."

Hou Jiuhong was stunned, and jumped up immediately after being stunned: "The Chiwei gang, wearing a mask...that's the gang leader, why didn't you ask me to see it!"

All the brothers in Heifengzhai are committed to joining this gang, they never act out of line, they steal from the rich and help the poor, and they steal in a righteous way. They hope that one day they will be seen by the gang leader... Hi, it’s so close, it’s only one step away!

No, he has to chase!

As soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by the little girl.

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

"Don't let go!" Shi Yaya tugged at him forcefully, "What are you going to do about the two of them!"

Hou Jiuhong looked at these two thin arms, neither earning nor not earning, what if someone hurts them?

I can only make a face and scare people: "Hey, you little girl, after a few days with the sick man, you have become fat, and you dare to drag me?"

The little girl blushed and refused to let go.

She followed Chao Muyun every day, and cultivated a lot of security and peace of mind. She knew who was really good to her, and she also knew that the second boss looked fierce, but was actually a paper tiger. of.

She sullenly said, "Boss, have you finished what your lord asked you to do, and you just chase after him, so you're not afraid of being scolded?"

Too……

Hou Jiuhong thought for a while, didn't rush out, took out something from his arms and threw it to the little girl: "Okay, let's go play, I have a sense of proportion, remember to tell me immediately next time you see someone, you know?"

Shi Yaya blinked before her eyes, took something the size of her palm, and looked down, it was a clay doll, a chubby female doll with a bun, a round face and round eyes, she looked very beautiful when she smiled, and her hands were still Holding a big carp.

This is... for her?Did you buy it when you came here earlier?

"Thank you, thank you."

"Thank you, I don't even know how to be lazy," Hou Jiuhong pressed the little girl's head with his big palm, and strode away, "I don't know who I learned from, I'm so young, I'm almost becoming a housekeeper..."

When I left the city, the setting sun was shining brightly, and it didn't take long for the sky to darken, and the night wind was gentle, sending an unknown fragrance of flowers.

This time is different from that night, there is no full moon, the moon is like a hook, hanging far away in the sky, it seems to be much dimmer, but it is still beautiful, the stars are not dazzling, they cannot fully illuminate the way ahead, but they are shining brightly in the starry sky, guiding Lost traveler, as long as you look up, you can see it.

The person in his arms remained silent, Ye Wugou asked: "What are you thinking?"

"case."

Chao Muyun looked at the shadow of the tree flying past: "This time the murderer used poison again. I only asked the assistant before I came out. There is no way to verify it. I only know that it is fatal, but I don't know what kind of poison it is."

It would be great if there was a powerful forensic doctor by my side, it must be a sharp weapon to solve the case.

But just thinking about it, the development of civilization in the era is too limited. Even if modern forensic doctors do not have available equipment to detect, many things will be greatly reduced. Here, murdering people secretly seems to like to use poison?

"After all, it is convenient and fast. If you sweep your tail, no one else will be able to find out."

What Ye Wugou was thinking about was another thing: "Master Chao is so desperate to solve the case that he is risking his life?"

Chao Muyun knew that the other party was talking about his body, so he was really not very experienced: "It's only a day or two, and I should be able to hold on."

should be...

After a moment of silence, Ye Wugou said again: "I can be considered to have some contacts in the rivers and lakes. The poisonous springs and cold mountains you are in are not without direction."

have direction...

Chao Muyun paused before realizing: "Can you help me find someone who can detoxify me?"

Ye Wugou: "There are people in southern Yunnan who are good at making strange poisons, and they are also good at detoxifying strange poisons. Among them, the best one is known as Qian Wentian. He has made countless enemies abroad. Heard that it is very troublesome. He is heading towards the capital for the past two months. .”

"Can you find it?"

"Maybe."

Everyone has the desire to survive. Chao Muyun didn't ask deeply, but he felt that such information should not come easily, and the other party might not have much confidence. If he was too eager, he would put pressure on people: "If you can meet, naturally That’s good, if it’s beyond human power, it doesn’t matter, you don’t have to force it.”

Ye Wugou didn't reply.

He didn't know how to say it.

With complicated thoughts in my heart, I was annoyed that the person in my arms didn't take it seriously, and felt that this annoyance was not justified, and it was not easy to express it, so I could only use a little force to clasp the waist of the person in my arms.

Chao Muyun asked: "Is your life experience related to the Marquis of Fen'an?"

Ye Wugou almost didn't react to the sudden topic change: "Why did you say that?"

Chao Muyun said: "At the scene of the case today, you didn't enter the door, but just watched from a distance. Although you pretended to be someone else with rich experience and controlled it properly, I can see that you have some expressions on the eyes of the wives and concubines in the Hou's mansion." extraordinary."

Others may not be able to see it, but he is sure that the inside is definitely not full of interest, interested in the murder case, but a deeper, darker, more obscure emotion that will never be humane to outsiders...

It was only then that Ye Wugou realized that when we met in the courtyard today, the person in his arms didn't notice his gaffe at that moment, and didn't probe into it, and didn't ask carefully, it was because the understanding had taken another direction.

Not a shock of love, but a shock of hatred.

But at that moment, he was really just trapped in emotions. In fact, he didn't care about the past. Like the white lady in the greenhouse, he didn't have so much hatred. He could live his life without caring. He just felt that the wicked It cannot be let off so easily.

Why?

He has his own ideas and plans, and he doesn't know what the future will hold.

The person in the arms deviated in the direction, but he didn't deviate, it turned out to be the same goal by different routes.

"You really..."

"Really what?"

"clever?"

"Thanks for the compliment, but I know."

Ye Wugou: ...

As the night darkened and the wind became cooler, he put his cloak over Chao Muyun's body: "Do you want to eat something?"

"No more."

The horse is very handsome, and it runs very fast, but it is a bit bumpy. He has to keep close to the person behind him to maintain his balance. If he does not fall, how can he have the appetite to eat?

"Then you lean against me to sleep for a while, and when we wake up, we stop for a while, and you eat again."

This proposal is okay, and he turned his head towards Muyun to look at Ye Wugou: "What about you? Do you not sleep?"

Ye Wugou smiled: "Can I be the same as you sick bastard? It's just one or two nights without sleep, what's the matter? If you don't make trouble with your body, you just love me."

"Ok?"

"I mean, as long as you can sleep, it won't save me from finding a place for you."

The other party's teasing voice fell on his ears, together with the warm breath, Chao Muyun was a little uncomfortable, but this was indeed his usual rest time, there were no case clues to sort out and think about, his brain was empty, and he was prone to sleepiness, unconsciously , leaning on Ye Wugou's shoulder, fell asleep.

"Don't worry about me..."

Feeling the even breathing of the person in his arms, Ye Wugou adjusted his cloak again, wrapping him tightly, only showing his nose and eyebrows.

He hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if he possessed the whole world, an unprecedented satisfaction.

He enjoyed it very much at the beginning, but slowly, something was wrong, hugging the person he likes, reluctant to let go, couldn't help but want to hug him tighter, to have more, some body objects are about to move, push them away a little, Stay away from the heat, but also reluctant.

Ye Wugou grimaced after pulling and tugging a few times like this.

Sure enough, the thing about love is to grind people.

Zhao Muyun actually didn't sleep soundly. He said he was sleeping, but it was more like he had passed through a difficult night in a drowsy state. When he woke up again, it was already morning, and he and Ye Wugou were not on the horse. He was lying on a soft and dry straw mat, wearing Ye Wugou's cloak, and Ye Wugou himself had set up a stone pot not far away, and he didn't know what he was cooking. Broth, very fragrant.

"Are you awake?" Ye Wugou waved at him, "Come and eat."

Picking up buds made the food he brought useful.

"here it is……"

"Going forward, it's Tiancun, let's go there for a bowl of soup."

This breakfast was simple and unpretentious, and it didn't take long. There was business waiting ahead, and the two of them didn't talk any more. After eating, they were ready to move on. They tried it at Muyun, and they rode in the middle of the night. Most of it was because of others' hard work , He didn't seem too tired, his thighs were indeed a little sore, and it was much better after taking two steps.

Walking into Tiancun, as far as the eye can see, it is no longer the prosperity of the capital, but poverty and dilapidation. The houses are all low, most of them are old, or the windows or doors or roof tiles are always broken. Can't stand the consumption.

There are not many people on the road, there are many patches on the clothes, and they don't pay much attention to cleanliness. Everyone doesn't have a smile on their faces, and their eyes are not very friendly.

Zhao Muyun looked towards the east facing sun, it was obviously the most vibrant time of the day, but this village, and the people in these villages, felt lifeless.

"The news you got..." He asked Ye Wugou in a low voice, "Where is the missing little girl?"

Ye Wugou's eyes quickly swept across several roads in the village, where is the intersection and where is the exit: "Just say that in this village, it is not clear where exactly."

"Little brother, may I ask—"

"This uncle—"

"this--"

Chao Muyun put on a smile, ready to open up the topic casually, asking for directions or something, could also shorten the distance, but the people here were very vigilant, and ran away before he finished speaking, as if he was some kind of flood beast, not to be approached.

Then he really heard it, and the lame uncle dragged a child away, sternly exhorting him in a low voice, saying 'don't talk to foreigners'...

There are old people and children here, and there are men and women among the old people, as well as children, but among the middle-aged and young people, most of them are men and there are no women.

In other words, there is a gap in the crowd here, and there are no women over the age of twelve or thirteen, or under the age of 40.

Zhao Muyun and Ye Wugou looked at each other and frowned, it seemed that today was a tough battle.

After walking for a while and bumping into a lot of obstacles, an old woman in her forties beckoned them to go over. Her eyes seemed a little blind, and she couldn't focus when she saw people: "I'm sorry, it's early in the morning, but I'm hungry. ?”

Although he had already had breakfast, this was obviously an opportunity. He pulled Ye Wugou towards Muyun and walked over, smiling: "Last night, I lost my way and came here somehow, and wanted to ask someone to ask where there is an early morning stall. But no one wants to talk to us..."

"Hey, in our small place, how can there be a stall selling food? My surname is Chen, you can call me Mrs. Chen, if you don't like it, come to my house to order?"

"So, annoying."

The two went into Mrs. Chen's house, saying they were having breakfast, but in fact it was a bowl of stick noodle porridge, boiled very thin, with four or five small pickles. This family is also very poor.

Aunt Chen was very enthusiastic. She groped to serve them porridge, and then groped to sit down at the table: "The things are simple, just fill your stomach, you two don't dislike them."

It can be seen that she is very used to this kind of life. Although it is not easy, she does not need help from others.

But she seemed to be sick, her complexion was not very good, and there were many morbid stiffness in the skin lines left by the years.

Really too poor, no matter the village or the house.

"Thank you ma'am."

Chao Muyun pressed Ye Wugou's hand, smiled to himself, chatted with Mrs. Chen, and then brought him to the village: "It's strange to say, but along the way, everything you see is unimaginable. He's a big man, haven't you seen a few girls in their twenties or eight years?"
