Chapter 482 The cicada is the oriole
The heavy rain took a break.
Gray clouds were stacked in the sky of Chongping County, and the morning rooster crows were faintly heard from the city below, and people outside were already walking on the streets full of water.
Early on, a woman who bought vegetables came back and entered the yard. Bald Li San chased behind him and wanted to help bring something, but the woman avoided him. She looked at him with disgust and looked at him yawning.
The sound of knives pounding on the cutting board in the kitchen in the backyard came. Wenjuan quickly put down the basket and began to pick vegetables. Li San yawned and leaned against the door of the kitchen. Looking inside, there were two people crowding in the narrow kitchen. The fat man Wang Wei praised a plate of side dishes and started to raise the three stacks of steamers from the big pot. The woman began to take out the big white steamed buns one by one and put them in a large plate.
The white mist filled the inside.
The bald man kept staring at the woman's back and under, then curled his lips, "Boss... it seems that we are wrong, right?"
"What...what is wrong, what's wrong with the meal?" In the mist, the fat face raised his face to look at him.
Seeing that Wang Wei hadn't realized it, Li San put down his arms crossed on his chest and stood up straight: "... Of course it's identity. You seem to have become a chef..."
The spoon of the porridge was slowing down, and the fat man opened his eyes widened, "It's really... Why did I become a chef in a mess? Oh... I was ordered by the fourth brother to forget what I did."
"that is!"
Li San smiled. The fat man handed the spoon to Wenjuan, then walked out, and while untiing the cover on his waist, muttering: "I'm a butcher... why do you want to kill a chicken..."
Li San, who was just smiling, suddenly had a stiff smile on his face. The woman might have been used to serving people, but she had no complaints. She chuckled with a basin of steamed buns and went to the front yard.
………
Carrying the steamed buns, they walked through the alley between the courtyard walls. In the sky above, the cracks of the clouds spit out a few golden sunlight. They walked in the golden light, and the nighthawks in the yard were talking to people at the gate.
She greeted the mountain dog, placed breakfast on the stone table under the tree, and vaguely heard the conversation coming from there.
"What, Master Zhou has escaped from prison?"
"That's true, and that night, the wealthy gentry Wang family in the county was killed. There was no living anywhere from top to bottom. There was a water and fire stick lost in prison on the walls of the yard."
Nighthawk frowned and had no choice but to make a move: "...you want to search the yard...it's not impossible...but Master Zhou has not come back."
"Routine business!" The yamen arrested the yamen outside the door bowed and took a few of his subordinates into his side.
The belated sunlight shone on the door of the main house. When the constable passed, Xifu stood at the door with the door bolt in his hand, and looked at two or three constables in confusion and walked into the room. At this time, Bai Ning also came out of the wing room, lifted his cuffs and sat at the stone table, and picked up the steamed bun. Shan Dog looked at the searched detective and sat over, but had not opened his mouth yet. Bai Ning tore off a small piece from the steamed bun and ate it into his mouth, his eyes cold.
"I heard it all, Zhou Tong ran away, and the official sent him to the door, maybe that's the case, right?"
"Yeah." Shangou nodded, "...Keibeizhi...I can't understand why Master Zhou... ran out...and still wanted to kill...what...Why...Wang..."
"It wasn't him who killed it."
Bai Ning gracefully tore off a steamed bun and threw it into the spots on the ground. "I know him better than you. Our old man is not the kind of bloodthirsty person."
The two people sitting at the table spoke softly. Ye Ying moved over and looked at the small steamed bun on the ground, frowned and stood aside, and pointed her chin with her fingers: "...According to Bei Zhi, Gao Shi has two brothers behind him. As for why Gao Shi wanted to do things for the Wang family, it is very likely that it was from the dead Wang Luo. But no matter what, Master Zhou must have known that someone was going to kill his wife, so he decided to go to the Wang family first, and wanted to force him to ask if they did it."
"So Master Zhou beat the family and left. As for what happened later, it must have been done by someone else." Shangou was guided and said what he thought in his mind, "So there is a third group of people behind? Could it be that the Gao family did it?"
Bai Ning was silent for a moment and pointed his fingers: "The two people behind the Gao family want to know the news here and send someone over. Obviously, time is not enough, but today, I guess I already know that they will come again. As for another group of people, they must be hiding in Chongping County."
"As for what they are going to do... Although I haven't guessed it, it should be for me." Bai Ning did not shy away from these two people, ".... Some people in the palace wanted to die, which is probably a good move, but they were too confident to show off their plans to make simple things complicated. Those who can do this can easily guess who is behind the scenes. Some people... I didn't want him to die, everyone is the same person, how good is it to live... But the wind and clouds are coming and going, and it's going to disperse."
The words were simple and clear, but the Nighthawks could hear them, and they were full of murderous aura.
Shangou clenched his fists and lowered his voice: "Supermaster...what should I do now..."
While talking, the search constable came out without any of them, and Yeying went to see them off. At this time, Xifu followed him with a worried mood.
"They said my father escaped from prison and killed everyone... I don't believe it." Xifu shook his head and said.
Bai Ning turned his head and smiled on his face, "We won't believe it either, don't worry, the government pays attention to evidence in doing things, but now it's just suspicion." As he said that, he handed over a steamed bun.
The woman nodded, held the steamed bun for a while and walked into the house with something in her heart. The moment she entered the house, Bai Ning's smile became cold, and she stared at the steamed bun dandruff that had just been discarded under her feet.
"What to do next is easy... Look at the ground, two nests of ants are going to fight to the death in order to fight for a steamed bun, not to mention that when the other party doesn't know the other party's background?"
In the light spots cast between the shade, dense ants climbed up the tiny steamed bun. On the other side, the black "army" as slender as a stream water rushed forward and rolled up with the ants here.
The fight was fierce.
"Um?"
Shangou was slightly surprised and obviously didn't understand. Ye Ying nodded and said, "The Lord Supervisor's meaning... I understand. We are this steamed bun, let them fight, but they both vaguely realize that the other party is the one we called, right?"
"It's almost the same."
Bai Ning clapped his hands and stood up, "The people from the Gao family in Henan Prefecture will arrive in the afternoon or evening. We should make some moves... Let the lynx stay and guard the wife."
"Yes." Shangou responded happily with a steamed bun in his hand, then stuffed it into his mouth, "I finally used a big scene..."
When the two of them were excitedly preparing, Bai Ning took the black knife and sat back on the stone bench. The spot of light cast in the gap between the branches moved to him, and looked at the two nests of fighting ants on the ground for a while.
Xifu's figure quietly walked to him, his eyes clear, he sniffed, and smiled: "I know... I know you want to help your father, or say... Thank you."
"Why thank you?" Bai Ning turned his head and looked at her, and suddenly became cold.
“…”
The woman was suddenly asked by him, and was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer the sentence, "...you...you...what...what...how?"
On the other side, Bai Ning suddenly smiled on his cold face. He immediately realized that he was teased. Xifu's face flushed. He raised his little hand and pushed it on his shoulder. He realized that this behavior was a bit too intimate. His face turned even more red, so he turned around and ran back.
The figure reached the eaves and stopped again. Xifu turned around and whispered: "Don't be hurt..."
In the sunshine, Bai Ning nodded with a smile, and then watched the woman enter the room.
"Step by step... don't be impatient...step by step." He whispered in a pun.
