Nothing owed [cat and mouse colleagues]

A few days ago, someone came to Kaifeng to report that a family in a small fishing village on the edge of Kaifeng had been poisoned to death for no apparent reason.No evidence was left at the scene, only a few bowls of fresh fish soup on the table.The results of Wu's laboratory tests confirmed that the family died after drinking the fish soup.It is doubtful whether this was a homicide or an accident.

Bao Zheng ordered Zhan Zhao to go to the fishing village to handle the case, and report any clues in time.Zhan Zhao took over the case and tidied things up a bit, then set off for the fishing village.

Haiyan Village is an ordinary fishing village.There are only fifteen families in the village.Relying on fishing and ferrying for a living.After coming here for a few days, Zhan Zhao still didn't find anything suspicious.These fifteen families are all locals, and the folk customs can be considered simple.Neighbors also help each other, and quarrels and troubles rarely happen.I really can't think of anyone who would harm these people.

Zhan Zhao, who has been disturbed by the futile work for several days, has a splitting headache.He saw that it was still early outside the window, so he got up and walked to the beach not far away.

The strong wind travels thousands of times, and the sea waves startle with thunder.This is the first time Zhan Zhao has seen such a rough sea.When I went out just now, there was still some sunlight outside the clouds, but at this moment, layers of dark clouds blocked the way.I think the speed of change in the sky is actually the same as that of the human heart, but the sky is getting purer.

He had only stood on the sea rock for a while before it started to rain.Zhan Zhao frowned in displeasure and jumped off the rock to turn back. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw a child standing on the beach about three meters away, looking at him.The face is terrified, and the look is flustered.Seeing that Zhan Zhao saw him, he ran away in a dense forest not far away and disappeared.

Zhan Zhao immediately became suspicious, but he thought about how a seventeen or eight-year-old child could kill a whole family in one night.Besides, there is no motive to kill, so I feel relieved.But I still have a little thought.For some reason, he always felt that this kid knew something!

After Zhan Zhao braved the rain and returned to the fisherman's house where he was staying, it was nearly dark, and the family was preparing for dinner.Seeing Zhan Zhao coming, the old fisherman's wife got up and took a pair of bowls and chopsticks and handed them to Zhan Zhao.

"Eat some! Master Zhan has worked hard these days."

"Thank you, auntie." Zhan Zhao took the bowl and chopsticks, and sat down on the bench.

"Auntie, do you know if there are any little beggars around here?"

"This fishing village is only this size, how can there be any beggars?"

"Really do not have?"

"Really not! Master Zhan, did you see anyone?"

Zhan Zhao observed her, seeing that her eyes were bewildered and her expression was earnest, there shouldn't be any problem, so he said:

"Just now I met a poorly dressed child on the beach, and his behavior was rather sneaky, just out of curiosity."

The aunt smiled knowingly, took a few mouthfuls of food and said, "That must be Aunt Zhang's little son! That child is not talkative by nature, and his behavior is quite weird. Aunt Zhang once wanted him to be normal. Listen! And he likes to wear rags, what a queer boy!"

"..."

"Master Zhan must not be suspicious of Huzi! Then you must have misunderstood. How could an ignorant child harm that family member? Besides, Huzi and Lu'er of that family are friends, so how could he kill him?" Heart?"

"The Lu'er that Auntie mentioned was the Lu'er who was one of the deceased?"

"Yes!" The woman stretched out her chopsticks and put a piece of fish into her mouth leisurely.

"That tiger is so close to Lu'er, and he can't say a few words with other people, even his parents! Sometimes this relationship is determined by God. Otherwise, why is this tiger so close to Lu'er who has no blood relatives?" The parents who objected to him being born and raising him were indifferent everywhere. Not to mention, this! It's God's will!"

Zhan Zhao recalled the terrified expression on the child's face, and became more and more sure that this tiger must know something.Otherwise, how could a child of seven or eight years old show such a terrifying expression for no reason.Thinking that there might be a breakthrough in the case, Zhan Zhao hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and rushed out the door.Let the rain wet the whole body.

Hurrying to Aunt Zhang's house in a hurry, Zhan Zhao saw Huzi who was in a daze at the door of Zhang's house.

When Huzi saw that it was Zhan Zhao, he wanted to run away in a hurry.But how could a child surpass Nan Xia Zhan Zhao's lightness skill so quickly?Zhan Zhao stopped him.Seeing that there was no way out, the child burst into tears with an anxious "wow".Huzi's parents ran out of the house in a hurry when they heard the crying.

"Hero Zhan, this...this is..." Zhang Ziyong saw his child crying to Zhan Zhao, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

"Zhan took the liberty to come here just to ask your son a few questions, I hope you will forgive me."

"This..." Seeing this situation, Aunt Zhang picked up the crying tiger.

"Master Zhan, please come in and talk, I don't dare to bother you outside in the wind and rain in such a heavy rain."

Zhan Zhao bent down and saluted, "Then, Zhan has been rude."

Up to now, Zhan Zhao has a feeling that the answer is close at hand.His perception has always been very accurate.

After entering the house, Zhang's couple comforted Huzi for a long time before he stopped crying.But Huzi still didn't dare to look directly at Zhan Zhao.I don't know the reason, but there is something different about Zhan Zhao that makes Hu Zi palpitate.

"Tiger." Zhan Zhao said.

"Have you ever known Lu'er?"

Hu Zi didn't answer, Aunt Zhang tried her best to enlighten him, telling him not to be afraid, Master Zhan is not a bad person, he is here to help Lu'er.

"I know, I know...we, we are good friends." He said softly.

"Then have you ever been to his house?"

Huzi looked at Aunt Zhang, who gave him a knowing smile.

"I've been there. Every evening I would go to Lu'er to play. He would take me to the beach to build sand castles and collect shells. He is the only person I like."

Zhan Zhao subconsciously went to look at the Zhang family couple, their faces darkened after hearing this.It's really sad to think about these two people's lives. The son who is as precious as a treasure will be so close to an outsider.

Zhan Zhao sighed, and continued to ask: "Then, do you know that Lu'er is dead?"

Huzi didn't speak, and his face showed the panic expression when the two first met.The round and big eyeballs gradually filled the eye sockets.

"He won't let me say..."

Zhan Zhao was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Who is he?!"

"Green...Green..."

Green?How can it be?This, this is impossible! !

Zhang Ziyong saw that Zhan Zhao was puzzled, and saw that Hu Zi seemed to know something, which hindered his fear of Zhan Zhao.But the truth is right in front of our eyes, so it would be a pity not to ask clearly!So, Zhang Ziyong took the tiger from his wife's arms and hugged him in his arms.He kept stroking his back to calm him down.

"Huzi, can you tell Daddy what's going on? You said that maybe Lu'er will wake up. Aren't you lonely these few days? After Lu'er wakes up, you can play with him again .”

"Really?" Lu'er opened her eyes wide, her face full of anticipation.

"Really! Daddy promises you." Zhang Ziyong patted Huzi lightly, which was a promise.

Hu Zi pursed his lips, his pale face looked a little sick.After a while, his childish voice sounded again.

"Lu'er's father and mother were killed by Lu'er."

"What!!" Aunt Zhang exclaimed, and then covered her mouth for fear of screaming again.

"Lu'er said that his father and mother have often fought and made noise these days. It is only when they are asleep late at night that they look at each other quietly and kindly. Lu'er sleeps between them and looks at their peaceful sleeping faces by moonlight. I think this is a home, a quiet and warm home."

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he roughly guessed the ending.It's just that this result is too chilling.

"There are a lot of mice in Lu'er's family. So the family will buy rat medicine and store it at home. Lu'er heard from his father that after taking the mouse poison, they will sleep for a long time. He wants to find a chance to let them fall asleep and sleep longer. He thinks there will be no more quarrels and crying in his home." Hu Zi said that tears fell down in succession.

"Lu'er... Lu'er really didn't do it on purpose!"

Zhang Ziyong nodded silently and hugged Hu Zi who was crying so tightly in his arms.

"Lu'er, Lu'er, he will come back. He said he will take me to his house to play when he wakes up."

The tiger cries more and more fiercely, the little child's mind is so simple and pure.He just wanted his parents to live a good life and stop quarreling, but he didn't want this wish to cost three innocent lives.It should be said that this is fate or evil.

Zhan Zhao left the Zhang family in a daze.The case is over, and the ending is absurd to everyone, but Zhan Zhao doesn't think that Lu'er did anything wrong.His desire is real and urgent.If there is anything wrong, it is his parents.They only said that the child didn't understand anything, and thus repeatedly ignored his mood and struggles. How can people define this tragedy?

The rain has stopped, and a full moon shines in the dark sky.Looking at the moon, Zhan Zhao suddenly thought of Hu Zi's cries.Will Lu'er really come back?the answer is negative.But Huzi believed that Lu'er would come back to him again.In his heart, nothing is too late, even if that person has already separated from him.

"Is yin and yang separated?"

Zhan Zhaohu's heart tightened, and he looked at the full moon, remembering that the man was also smiling at him in front of the same bright and full moon, sitting side by side with him, drinking wine.

He saw that he turned his head, and the moonlight seemed to shine on his face.He said: "When it's your birthday, you will know my answer to you."

The old man had been working in front of the carving plate with the wooden vertebra for nearly four or five hours before he felt his eyes sore and painful, which was very uncomfortable.Looking out the window, some white light has already appeared in the sky.I want to come to the sky to fall.Slowly taking off the hanging skirt on her body, she was about to turn on the bed and go to bed.I don't want to knock on the door outside.I had to drag my exhausted body to open the door.

As soon as the wooden board was lifted, Zhan Zhao was standing outside, the smell of dust all the way, he must have traveled a long way to get there.

Zhan Zhao made a salute and said, "Master, I'm here to get the jade mouse."

"This..." The old man was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't react for a moment, and he froze in place.

"Master, please bring me my jade mouse."

"Oh...good!...good!" He hurried back to the house and brought the jade mouse in the cabinet to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao looked at the Jade Mouse, his heart beating faster and faster.

You still gave me the answer, didn't you?You didn't have time to celebrate my birthday, and you didn't even receive the gift a year late.I really don't care about it.

but. ． ． ．Zhan Zhao slowly broke into a smile.The jade mouse in the hand is extraordinarily clear and white under the gradually brightening sky.The temperament is also strikingly similar to that person.

But I still took it.No matter it is early or late, Yin and Yang are separated or alone for life.As long as Zhan believes that the past between you and me is real and real.Yutang, we can be together now, can't we?

I have so many memories of you, enough. ． ． ． ．Enough!

Zhan Zhao put the Jade Mouse in his arms carefully, collected his face and walked towards Kaifeng Mansion.At dawn, he was still the respectful, gentle and refined Mr. Zhan.A piece of blue sky hangs above the head, just and dedicated.

The old man looked at Zhan Zhao's upright and receding back, and then thought of his flustered look just now.Somehow the heart is desolate.

This is Mr. Zhan from Kaifeng Mansion. He is gentle in front of others, but who knows his loneliness and loneliness.

The old man sighed softly, and slowly closed the wooden door.
