Jianghu Case: Female Psychologist

Chapter 99

"What did the girl think of? Any clues?" Du Chengming quickly returned to normal and asked earnestly.

Su Xiaopei looked at him carefully, arresting the head, this identity really did not occur to her, if Ran Feize hadn't observed him carefully reading her information, she might not have suspected him all the time.

Su Xiaochao shook his head: "I can't think of anything, I don't have a clue. My lord investigated the case, but what did you find out?"

"At first glance, the girl's neck was cut off and she died. She was the daughter of a nearby farmer, and she did farm work for the family in the morning. She wanted to come to the town to buy some things in the afternoon, but she was in such a misfortune. She was The only daughter in the family, she has always been well-behaved and pleasant, and has no grudges against others. She has already been engaged to a family surnamed Zhu in the same village, and she will be married next spring. Although people come and go by the forest from time to time, no one saw her being killed. No one heard her call for help. I asked the people who passed by the place around that time, and no one saw any suspicious person." Du Chengming paused, and asked: "Girl, the murderer left a letter on the corpse, And cut off the girl's hair, also alluding to the girl's short hair, the girl thinks about it, is there any clue?"

Su Xiaopei shook his head: "I really can't think of anything."

"What did the letter say?"

"It's just greeting and intimidation, it doesn't mean much."

Du Chengming frowned: "Miss, don't you know who did it? Any inferences?"

Su Xiaopei still shook his head: "It is true that someone wants to trouble me, but I have told the adults all I know about it. Now that someone suddenly kills someone, I don't know what to do."

Du Chengming looked at her carefully, and finally clasped his fists: "So, I will continue to investigate and investigate, and I will definitely catch the murderer. If the girl has any thoughts, you can report to me at any time."

"If your lord has any clues, please tell them. I will definitely do my best to help."

After the two of them exchanged polite words, Du Chengming led his subordinates to leave and rushed back to the town office to continue handling official duties.He made an impromptu salute, and when he raised his head, he glanced at Su Xiaopei's middle finger gesture on the wall again, then turned his head and left.

Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize looked at each other.Ran Feize asked, "How?"

"If the strong man hadn't said that, he would have missed it. We have to find evidence to prove it."

Ran Feize nodded, he beckoned to Bai Yulang, told him that this matter was related to Su Xiaopei's life, and asked him to keep an eye on Du Chengming's every move in the investigation.

"Uncle Ran is worried about Mr. Du's inability to handle the case? Uncle Ran, don't worry, Mr. Qin is watching. The elder sister is our own family, so we will not take it lightly. I will supervise Mr. Du well." Bai Yulang was full of energy.

Ran Feize nodded solemnly, ignoring Bai Yulang's unruly words like "supervise", and ordered: "The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Don't make it public. You just need to know it in your heart. Keep an eye on it quietly. Others I thought you didn't care, so I let you see the clues." At this time, there is no evidence, and I dare not teach other people to know their suspicions, so as not to startle the snakes, so I can only stop.

Bai Yulang listened, thought about it seriously, and nodded vigorously: "Understood. The murderer will definitely look for opportunities to inquire, and I will observe carefully."

"Don't make any noise."

"Understood." The more Bai Yulang thought about it, the more excited he became, "I'll go right away. If there's any news, I'll report to Uncle Ran." He ran away excitedly, walked a few steps back, grabbed Liu Xiang, and walked away together.

"Is this appropriate?" Su Xiaopei was not too confident about the frizzy Bai Yulang.

"Right now, that's all we can do. We'll make further plans when we find more clues and can explain it clearly."

"That's right." With her and Ran Feize, they couldn't be arrested and interrogated with a little suspicion.The identity of being a headhunter seems to have some advantages.

Ran Feize took Su Xiaopei to meet Lou Lidong.Lou Lidong's yard looked like an ordinary house of an ordinary family. When he saw Ran Feize coming, he lowered his eyebrows and shook his head.

"how?"

Lou Lidong sighed: "Brother, it's not that I don't help, but my brother didn't recognize the people you mentioned."

"What do you mean by not recognizing it?"

"Those people who were in line with the girl's inference, my brother looked at them all, identified them based on their posture and behavior, and felt that there was no suspicious person he saw."

"No?" Ran Feize frowned, "Not even similar ones?"

"If you want to talk about similarity, you should know that many people have no obvious characteristics when walking and raising their hands and feet, and their postures are not too surprising, so most people can say that they are similar. Only we are thieves, and it depends on our feelings. , After seeing many people, it will leave an impression in my heart, and I can distinguish different people. Therefore, I can’t say whether they are similar or not, I just feel it, and I feel that among those people today, they are not.”

"Where are the officials?" Ran Feize didn't want to be too clear, so as not to leave prejudices for them. Once people have prejudices, they will look like everything.But now I didn't recognize any of them, so I had to narrow down the scope.

"The officials also looked at it. Who am I? I'm a smart person. Everyone who was present, regardless of male or female, or similar in stature, let him argue. There really isn't one."

No?Su Xiaopei understood.She glanced at Ran Feize, and he was also looking at her, both of them felt tight.Now, it's not Du Chengming who came out of the divine calculation gate, and it wasn't Du Chengming who killed the village girl in the woods at noon, so who could it be?If it wasn't Du Chengming who wrote the letter at Shensuanmen, who was it?But he was reading her English materials, and he also responded to the middle finger.

Su Xiaopei was a little disappointed, the clue that he finally found seemed to be cut off.Can't connect.

She and Ran Feize sat in Lou Lidong's yard, propped their heads up, face to face thinking seriously.Lou Lidong walked in and out several times, seeing that they were still there, he couldn't help asking: "You guys don't talk, and you have nothing to do, what are you doing here?"

Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize looked at each other, yes, what are they doing here, they seem to be too lazy to leave, it's the same wherever they sit and think.The two looked at each other again, and said in unison: "Wait for the meal."

Lou Lidong opened his mouth wide, he was waiting for food, he was just running errands for free, why didn't he see the benefits, and now he has to take care of the food?
"You two..." He swallowed half of the words, scolding Ran Feize for anything is fine, but foul language is not good for scolding girls. "Tell me, is there any other request?"

Actually there are.

Ran Feize said: "Do you know which restaurant Gu Kang and Cao Hedong went to drink? Can you inquire about the specific situation? For example, who left the banquet halfway and how long did they leave?"

Seeing that Ran Feize mentioned it, Su Xiaopei also said: "Could you trouble Daxia Lou to also inquire about the family situation of Mr. Du Chengming, the head catcher in Pingzhou City, whether his wife, concubine, children and grandchildren are harmonious, how is Mr. Du, and how do others evaluate him?" Now She and Ran Feize are not good at inquiring about this by themselves, lest the other party get suspicious, it would be best if they can entrust it to others.

Before Lou Lidong could speak, Ran Feize said, "Well, there's also what Miss Su said, so you can do me a favor and find out."

Lou Lidong opened his mouth, unable to speak.If you want to answer "no", then of course you can't.He was not too reconciled to agreeing to it.Say something to choke them, he feels that maybe he is not an opponent, and he thinks it is too difficult to make this couple feel indebted to him and feel embarrassed.

Such a good match, how did they match up?The same age and no marriage, the same eccentric temperament, the same intelligence and abilities, and the same thick-skinned and shameless.

Perfect match, his grandma's.

Lou Lidong agreed angrily, and went down to find the cook to order more dishes, and two shameless people wanted to stay for dinner.But after he finished explaining, the cook discussed the dishes with him and prepared them. He turned back to the yard, only to see the two muttering as if they had just finished talking, and they stood up together.

"how?"

"It's getting late, we should go back. We have to cook for the girl."

Lou Lidong's face was about to turn dark, did he just say that he was in charge of the meal, was it to tease him?
Su Xiaopei looked embarrassed, and said to him: "Thanks for your hard work, I'm sorry to trouble you." Ran Feize added: "Come to me if you have any news, the sooner the better, this matter cannot be delayed." Lou Lidong really wanted to pass by him When he was next to him, he tripped him to see if his face would be broken if he fell to the ground.It's a pity that his resentment was completely ignored by Ran Feize. He also heard this shameless man walking out and saying to Miss Su: "My cooking skills are definitely better than his cook's. I'll steam eggs for you when I go back."

Shameless, how did he have the face to say that?Which cook is no better than you!This fellow has also done something that while despising the Xuanqing faction's poor cooking skills, he would pick him up before dawn and let him teach him how to cook breakfast. It's no secret that these vile and embarrassing things happened.While Lou Lidong was angry, he thought about their entrustment, well, besides checking the comings and goings of a few people in the restaurant, he should also check the whereabouts of those people in the past two days.That Mr. Du, headhunting, the headhunting is the most annoying, he is the enemy of their gang of thieves.If you want to check the status of his house, then check his connections, officials, friends, enemies, etc. by the way.

On the way home, Su Xiaopei was still thinking: "I should have said a few more words to Lou Daxia just now, so that he should not limit himself to what we said. It would be better to check more, the more information the more useful."

"Don't worry, he will. That guy is in charge of the Thieves Gang, and he can get it right."

The two were discussing, while Lou Lidong kept sneezing in his courtyard.

That night, Ran Feize was going to burn weapons for Su Xiaopei in the casting cellar in the mountain behind the house, he said he asked Xiao Qi and the others to stay in the outer room and guard Su Xiaopei.Su Xiaopei felt a little awkward, "There are so many things that happened today, I don't think I can sleep, can I go with you?"

"It's very hot in there, and I'm making a lot of noise, you can't rest."

Su Xiaopei frowned.Ran Feize persuaded her: "You lose energy when you don't sleep well, and you can't compare to me. I'll cast it earlier, and you can use it sooner. I have a self-defense, so I can rest assured. You sleep yours and wait for you." Wake up, and here I am."

Su Xiaopei bit her lip, but still didn't want to separate from him.But what he said made sense, she knew that she was naive and self-willed, and she couldn't think of any good reason.So she didn't say anything, just stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Ran Feize's heart suddenly softened.With such a small gesture, he would agree to any request she made.

So Ran Feize brought Su Xiaopei to the back mountain.There are seven turns in the back of the mountain, and there is a mountain cellar with a secret door open. In the sky above, you can see the stars in the sky.

Su Xiaopei didn't go too far inside, but as far as she could see, the furnishings inside were neat and clean.Ran Feize went in and walked around, brought out a lot of things, set up a couch for her to rest on, and took a blanket.After that, Su Xiaopei sat on the couch with a blanket in his arms and watched him work.The forge was burning, and it was hot.He took off his shirt, and quickly and forcefully pulled the bellows, the fire was burning hot, reflecting his side face and solid muscles on his body, his arms were stretched out due to the force, and sweat was sprinkled on them.

Su Xiaopei was a little sleepy, staring blankly at his naked upper body.She thought of the village girl who was killed, the murderer was so cruel.She didn't dare to raise her doubts with Du Chengming today, she didn't dare to question him, because she had no evidence, she couldn't do anything to him, and he would kill more people to punish her, she couldn't bear this, she hoped Her helplessness satisfies him temporarily.She will figure out a way, there will always be a way.

"Xiao Pei." Suddenly hearing Ran Feize calling her, she realized that he had already walked over.

"You keep staring at me, and I won't blush."

Ah, what do you mean by that?Su Xiaopei came back to look at him seriously, her figure is really good, and then she blushed.

He handed her a thick handkerchief, and she took it, dazed.He moved his body closer, the sweat on his body was too conspicuous, she understood, reached out to wipe him off, and was a little worried: "It's quite cold at night, will you catch a cold?"

"Not if you keep staring at me."

Su Xiaopei thought for a while, and felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning in these words, but she couldn't turn her head around right now, her eyes were full of his muscles, and her brain turned flesh-colored.

"Wipe it off." She felt so hot that her face was burning, but she didn't catch a cold, she was dead hot.I really want to push him away.

But he didn't seem to understand her hint, instead he got closer.With her face almost touching hers, she subconsciously backed away until the back of her head was against the wall.

"Someone is watching us in the dark." He approached her and whispered.

"Really? Where?" She was so nervous that she could feel the heat of his body through the blanket.

"I told you that you can't see it. Besides, if you look around, it will arouse the other party's suspicion."

"who is it?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's from other Jianghu sects. Not everyone believes and supports your words. There are still people spreading the word that you are a witch. Or maybe it's Cheng Jiangyi, the murderer behind the scenes."

"Then, what, what should I do?" Su Xiaopei didn't know which side to be nervous about, he was too close to her, her heart beat too fast.

"If he wants to deal with you, he will definitely want to attack someone close to you."

"No." She didn't want anything to happen to him, she would rather die and come back and die than want anything to happen to him.

"It's better than killing other innocent people. I'm capable and I'm not afraid of them." He was still talking.

Su Xiaopei was a little dizzy and didn't understand the meaning of his words.

"No." She subconsciously said again.

"Let's show him up close." He said, and leaned closer again, slowly, so slowly that she almost couldn't breathe.

"Do not."

"Then push me away." He said, but still approached her very slowly.

Push him away?Push him away!But her face was so hot that she was about to burn, her heart couldn't beat anymore, her mind was spinning wildly, he lied to her?real?Lied to her?To tease her?Want to see her look ugly and shy?Make fun of her?Push him away?push?

She didn't move at all, and then his lips touched hers.
