Since they couldn't eat anything from Qingming House and couldn't see Mr. Qingming, Ning Yujin and Mo Jingxiao had no choice but to wander around in the streets.
The Zhuzhous during the day and the Zhuzhous at night have different styles and different beauties. The antique streets, willows blowing in the wind can be seen everywhere, and there is also the faint fragrance of powder floating in the air. Everywhere is as soft and gentle as Xiaojiabiyu.
Graceful.
The two of them also went to secluded places, away from the hustle and bustle of business, so that they could better appreciate the beautiful scenery of various states.
However……
Walking, walking...
Ning Yujin turned around and asked Mo Jingxiao, "Where are we going?"
Mo Jingxiao folded his arms and said slowly: "Aren't you leading the way?"
"I..." Ning Yujin paused for a moment, then puffed out her chest and said plausibly, "I will lead the way, so you can follow me with confidence, and you are not afraid that I will abduct you and sell you?! This matter
Fundamentally, it's your fault. If you lead the way, this problem won't happen."
Mo Jingxiao listened to her absurd reasoning and said with some humor: "Then you are not afraid that I will abduct you and sell you?"
"Don't be afraid," Ning Yujin reached out and poked Mo Jingxiao's face, pinched her own face, and said with a smile, "We are not as good-looking as you, so we can't sell him."
"You girl..." Mo Jingxiao tried to rub Ning Yujin's head, but his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
He paused, then turned to look at a house not far away: "There was crying."
"Isn't it normal to cry?" Ning Yujin asked strangely, tilting her head.
Talking about folk houses here, a young daughter-in-law may cry when she is wronged, an old woman may cry when she thinks her son is useless, and a child may cry when he is hungry. Crying is a normal thing.
"It's mourning." Mo Jingxiao added, "But there was no white lantern hanging in front of the house, and the crying was very quiet, as if it was deliberately suppressed."
After saying that, he couldn't help but say: "Maybe it's nothing, I'm just overthinking it."
After hearing this, Ning Yujin also realized that something was wrong, so she simply pulled Mo Jingxiao and walked over there: "Oh, if you have any doubts, just go and have a look."
The two of them were not related to that family, so it was impossible for them to go directly to the house, so they jumped up and went directly to the roof.
The roof is a good place, with a wide line of sight, and you can see everything clearly. The two of them looked into the yard of that house, and sure enough, there was a coffin parked inside.
The coffin was a new one, and it was placed neatly in the middle of the yard. There were various paper figures, horses, and soul-calling flags beside it. There were several little girls kneeling in front of the coffin in plain clothes and burning paper money.
There was an old couple standing next to the coffin. The old woman seemed heartbroken. She was sobbing softly and stroking her head with her hands, as if she would faint at any time.
The man who looked like a gentleman was talking to someone at the moment, his expression full of pleading and sincerity. And that person was none other than Ning Yujin and Mo Jingxiao, whom he had met last night.
Xu Jinsong.
"It's him." Ning Yujin took advantage of the good weather and looked at him again. "It seems that there is enough light in the daytime, so it looks better."
After saying that, she felt an air of cold air surrounding her instantly. She waved her hand quickly and said, "Oh, don't be jealous. In my heart, you will always be the most handsome one. Looking at other people is just for pure appreciation."
"
Not only did the air-conditioning around her not weaken at all, but it became even more chilly. Ning Yujin folded her arms and rubbed her arms, feeling goosebumps all over her body.
She quickly changed her words and said: "Tsk tsk, look at Xu Jinsong. He is as skinny as a bean sprout. The wind can blow him away. Look at that appearance again. Oh, let me take a look.
It hurts my eyes."
As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at Mo Jingxiao, and suddenly a smile broke out: "This face is so eye-catching."
After saying these few words, the biting cold wind around me suddenly turned into a warm spring breeze.
Ning Yujin reached out and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead - Alas, trouble comes from the mouth!
It's better not to think about anything else and to find out what's going on quickly.
"Master Xu, Master Xu, Xu Qingtian, you must catch the murderer and avenge your little girl!" The master grabbed Xu Jinsong's hand and refused to let go. He was extremely emotional.
Xu Jinsong quickly clapped his hands to comfort him and said, "Xu will do his best to give everyone an explanation for this matter."
After hearing this, Ning Yujin tilted her head and asked Mo Jingxiao: "Axiao, is the one in the coffin the one you found last night?"
After saying that, he shook his head and rejected his own idea: "It has not been a day since the discovery. All the corpses found at the crime scene were very troublesome to check and sort out. This amount of time is simply not enough."
It may be impossible for the government to return the body to the family after the autopsy is completed."
And looking at the faces of everyone, and the fact that Xu Jinsong is here, it can only mean one thing - the person lying in the coffin also died a violent death!
Didn't you say that it was very peaceful here? Why did they encounter murders one after another after only two days here?
Looking at each other, Mo Jingxiao's dark eyes darkened, and he had obviously thought of this.
At this moment, Xu Jinsong was heard asking the old man: "Didn't the magistrate give an order that unmarried women are not allowed to go out? Why did my concubine disobey the order?"
Unmarried women are not allowed to go out. What is the rule?
Ning Yujin was a little surprised and a little surprised. They said that the Jiangnan water town is the most nurturing, but she didn't see any beautiful women when she came. It turned out that the prefect of the various states had issued such a strange ban.
However, he saw the businessman's eyes dodge for a moment before he replied: "That's unfair, sir. My daughter usually never leaves the house or takes a step forward. She only occasionally goes up the mountain with her mother to burn incense and worship Buddha. How could she violate the rules of the prefect?"
She was kidnapped by thieves! I didn’t expect... Oh, my poor daughter..."
The old man immediately lay down on the coffin and cried loudly.
Ning Yujin curled her lips when she saw this and said, "You want to cover up the truth. This guy must be lying!"
At this time, Xu Jinsong waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't make too much noise. I'll go back first. I'll let you know if there is any progress."
"Then thank you so much, master." The master immediately stopped crying and saluted Xu Jinsong together with the old woman.
Xu Jinsong waved his hand and walked out of the door.
After leaving the door of that house, Xu Jinsong stopped and said to the two accompanying officials: "There is something wrong with this family. You should keep an eye on it and make sure nothing is wrong. By the way, let's ask the neighbors how this family is doing?"
"
"yes."
After the two officials took the order, Xu Jinsong nodded and left there alone.
Ning Yujin, who had seen everything in his eyes, nodded with satisfaction: "Let me tell you, since he is a smart person, how could he not see that the old guy was lying? It turns out that he has a back-up plan."
This Xu Jinsong really has some brains.
Ning Yujin put her hands behind her head and said slowly: "Let's go, we agreed to just mind our own business."
