Daxuannv's sentence

Chapter 101 Eating Noodles
"Then, does He Sheng come here alone every time? Or do he call for friends every time?"

"The one who came here alone, speaking of which, the rest of the men who came to redeem themselves also came here alone, and after that, they never appeared again." After thinking carefully, Hong Niang showed a look of horror on her face.

The lobby fell silent, and Ye Ke carefully analyzed the clues given by the matchmaker. She found it very incredible and abnormal.

If the murderer was this He Sheng, then who killed the girls in front of them?Could it be that He Sheng arranged for them to come to help redeem themselves?Or, He Sheng is not the murderer, the real murderer is someone else, he arranges these people to come to help him redeem himself, and he does not show his face, but this is too unsafe, if someone leaks the news, then the murderer will be very dangerous.

None of these men showed up after that, could it be that they were all killed by the murderer?But what about the corpse?It can't be that these men are all alone, right? It's just that the girls in the kiln have no one to track down. It can't be such a coincidence that a dozen men have no relatives or friends. This is simply a fantasy, and there are too many uncontrollable factors.

Ye Ke put herself in the role of the murderer. It is absolutely impossible for her to choose such a risky method to commit the crime.

Seeing Ye Ke pondering the case, Zhu You sent the yamen servant to send the matchmaker back, and told the matchmaker to summon her again when she was needed. The matchmaker was also depressed, although she was just a pimp, but those girls They were all her subordinates, and after so many years of raising them, beatings and cursing, they still had feelings, especially those people she agreed to redeem, almost all of whom she hoped would have a good end.

After wishing Zhu You a blessing, the matchmaker went away with red eyes.

Zhu You came back to the inner hall and saw Ye Ke was still sitting in his seat meditating, and he didn't dare to disturb him. Although it was spring, but the cold was still there, he ordered someone to set up a charcoal stove, put it in front of Ye Ke, and took another The robe was lightly put on Ye Ke, and he stood by the side, until it was dark.

When Ye Ke came back to his senses, he touched the robe on his body, the stove in front of him, and Zhu You who was resting with his eyes closed beside him. Although he seemed to be sleeping, he was still sitting upright.

"My lord." Ye Ke said weakly.

He opened his eyes suddenly, under the dim light, his eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky, "Sister-in-law! But what have you figured out?"

"I'm hungry." Ye Ke blushed slightly.

Zhu You was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes softened, and he said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll let Jian Jiu go buy some wine and vegetables?"

"Let's go out to eat, I want to walk!"

"it is good!"

The two took advantage of the night to go out and headed for the brightly lit market. Most of the markets at night were places where restaurants were located.

With the cold wind blowing, the two stood side by side, and Ye Ke said: "My lord, I have been thinking about it all afternoon, but I still don't understand why the murderer sent a dozen different people to redeem the girl. The risk is too great. And, where did those ten people go? Are they all dead? If so, where are the bodies? Why didn’t anyone report the case?”

Zhu You shook his head. He couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only comfort him: "If you can't figure it out, let it go for a while, and let's talk about it after filling your stomach."

This sentence hit Ye Ke's heart, and the two felt that the brightly lit place was a famous night market in the west of the city. Looking around, there were four streets with high lanterns and brightly lit buildings. Pedestrians and vendors came and went. Shouting, just like daytime, in the middle, performers, jugglers, shadow puppets, opera singers, and cake sellers, each one is endless, and many young men and women shuttle back and forth, which is very lively.

Zhu You led Ye Ke to a shop selling noodle soup. Seeing the two were wearing official uniforms, the boss rushed forward to greet them. After walking in for a look, he immediately recognized that the two were not the only one that day. Mr. Ti Xing who broke into the astrology tower and Mr. Tuiguan who is wearing Xiaguang?Overwhelmed with joy, he hurriedly said: "The two lords of the Criminal Division have arrived, and we are far away to welcome you. What do you two want to eat? Please sit down quickly!"

The two sat down, Zhu You said: "Boss, two bowls of Yangchun noodles, and two meat dishes, just pick them up!"

"Okay! Wait a moment, both of you!" The boss responded and hurried away.

At this time, Ye Ke looked at a storyteller on a stage in the distance, who was happily telling a story, and everyone cheered and applauded. Here, Ye Ke could also hear the truth, smiled and said: "My lord really chooses!" It’s a good place, not only can you fill your stomach, but you can also listen to the stories of the storyteller for free.”

Zhu Youben didn't mean that, but after hearing what Ye Ke said, he glanced at the stage, and said with a warm smile, "Hehe. That's okay, if he's right, just give him some money before he leaves."

Not long after, the boss brought up the required food.

"Boss, we didn't order this." Ye Ke pointed to a plate of pomegranates.

The boss chuckled and said: "This is a gift from the shop. The two adults are honest officials pleading for the people. It is the honor of the shop to eat here." After speaking, he withdrew.

The two looked at each other and didn't say much, cooking is the most important thing.

After eating the hot food, his body, hands and feet became warmer. Ye Ke heard the storyteller's cadence, but he didn't quite understand, "My lord, what story did the storyteller tell?"

Zhu You ate the noodles slowly, and said directly after listening to him: "It's about a story about an official who pleaded for the people to solve the case during the time of the first emperor."

Hearing this, Ye Ke became interested. She was engaged in Xing Prison, and she was very interested in the stories of suspense and reasoning. She hurriedly pestered Zhu You to tell him the story in detail.

Zhu You had no choice but to put down the chopsticks in his hand and shook his head: "It's nothing to listen to. In fact, although the pusher was full of justice, he was a mediocre person. This story is about his luck. The case was a homicide, and he couldn't find the murderer for a long time, so he waited to die where the murderer might appear, which really made him wait, so it was a good story, praising him as a very persevering person."

"But in my opinion, it's my sister-in-law's ability to solve cases that should be told by these storytellers. His story is nothing, and it's far from my sister-in-law's ability to judge cases by autopsy."

Zhu You praised Ye Ke, but there was no response, but Ye Ke was in a daze in his position.

"Sister-in-law?"

Ye Ke came back to his senses, looked at the bright moon in the sky with a cool light, put down the empty bowl in his hand, and said to Zhu You: "My lord! Pay the bill, let's go somewhere."

"where?"

"Storm Ridge!"
