Chapter 198 Divination Operator (2)

We stood outside the door of the book apartment and listened to Ruan Lang finish talking about it, and we all fell silent.After a while, I asked him, "Did you bring those letters?"

"Bring it." Ruan Lang took out a stack of letters from his body and handed it to me.

There are about a dozen of these letters, and as Ruan Lang said, each letter is exactly the same.After a quick glance, I handed it to Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei.Ji Mingmei was fine, but for some reason after reading the letter, Bu Ying's face became more and more strange, and finally fell into deep thinking.

"What's wrong?" Ji Mingmei and I asked him strangely.

"It's nothing." Bu Ying murmured, and returned the letter to Ruan Lang.We were a little suspicious when we saw this, Bu Ying smiled at us, but turned to Ruan Lang and said, "You went to see that alley, do you know the family name of that family?"

"I know." Ruan Lang nodded, "This family's surname is Qin, I've inquired about it, and it's quite powerful in the provincial capital as the letter said."

"What!" Ji Mingmei and I were both surprised, "The Qin family?"

The family Ruan Lang mentioned turned out to be the Qin family who had just experienced the death of Qin Yuesheng and his wife?No wonder Bu Ying has a weird face. He grew up in the provincial capital, and he may have heard a few words, so he guessed that it was the Qin family just from Ruan Lang's narration.

"Do you know them?" Ruan Lang saw that we were so surprised, and he was also a little surprised, "I heard that a junior in the Qin family had trouble with the female gentleman of Shuyu, so I followed him to see, who would have met you .”

Bu Ying and I looked at each other, and then asked: "Do you know this third wife of the Qin family?"

Bu Ying shook his head, "If I hadn't heard from him, I wouldn't know that there is a third master in the Qin family."

"So what's going on here?" Ji Mingmei pondered, "How could someone write to tell him about this? What does this have to do with him?"

I also couldn't figure it out, so I asked Ruan Lang in detail if he knew anyone in his family, or if he could have any relationship with the Qin family in the provincial capital.Ruan Lang kept shaking his head, and told me with certainty that as far as he knew, their family had no contact with the provincial capital, so he was so surprised when he received the letter.

After listening to our conversation, Bu Ying thought it over and said: "This is too strange. Since it's not a prank, there must be a reason for it. Let's go, let's go to that alley to have a look."

After Ruan Lang heard the words, he led the way and led us all the way to the back door of Qin's house.The Qin family occupies an area of ​​several acres, and there are five-entry houses in the front and back, plus various side courtyards, each entry has its own side door, so there are more than one alley.Ruan Lang led us to one of the side doors, and we found a cart in the alley.

There are pots and pans on the cart, and there is a stove on the cart, and a pot of soup is sitting on the stove.The fire has long been extinguished, and the soup in the pot has also dried up.I touched the edge of the pot casually, and only touched a handful of ashes.I squeezed the ashes from my fingers, at this moment Bu Ying walked around the cart and suddenly walked towards the side door.

He walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times, the door answered with a dull sound, but no one answered.Bu Ying turned around and pursed his lips at us, then went to knock on the door a few times, but there was still no one answering the door.It seems that this side door is far away from the small courtyard where people live, so no matter how hard they knock on the door, the people inside can't hear the sound.

Since it was impossible to enter from here, Bu Ying led us around and walked to the main entrance of Qin's house.He knocked on the door knocker a few times, and this time someone came to open the door soon.Because it wasn't long before we came last time, the concierge naturally recognized us. Bu Ying told him that we wanted to see Second Master Qin, and asked him to pass it on.

The concierge first took us to a reception room, served us tea, and then went to ask Qin Erye to come out.The news of Qin Yuesheng's death had already been passed to the Qin family by the police station, so when Second Master Qin came out, he was dressed in white, and he must be attending to the funeral of Qin Yuesheng and his wife.He just nodded slightly when he saw us, but didn't speak.

We previously believed that he had bribed the Hua family's servants, so we were not polite to him in words. Now that the truth of Huayue's death has come to light, we all feel guilty towards him in our hearts.Bu Ying apologized to him for what happened before, and sincerely expressed his condolences to him, and then told him the truth of the matter, and told him that Cuiping had committed suicide by jumping into a well.

Two of the Qin family's nephews and nephews died one after another. The second master Qin should have mourned, but he used to be in a high position, and his emotions and anger were invisible, so he looked expressionless, but the look of tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes was It can't be eliminated no matter what.He responded to Bu Ying in a general way, and asked: "Everyone came to the door again, just to talk about this matter?"

Bu Ying hesitated for a while, and replied: "This is one of them, and there is one more thing that Qin Erye needs to clarify."

Qin Erye nodded slightly at him, motioning him to continue.Bu Ying glanced at Ruan Lang, and told Qin Erye about the weird things he had encountered.After listening to Bu Ying's narration, Qin Erye suddenly showed a strange color on his face, but he concealed it very well, and then restrained himself, just shook his head and said: "How can someone write a letter to tell a person about the Qin family's affairs?" Irrelevant people? Nonsense! Nonsense!"

"Second Master Qin's phrase 'nonsense' means that no one will write a letter to inform the irrelevant people of this matter, but they will not deny what is written in the letter?" Bu Ying continued.

Qin Erye took a deep look at Bu Ying. He had always looked calm when he talked with us before, but this moment suddenly sharpened, like a knife like an axe.It wasn't just Bu Ying, we were all terrified by his sight, and we couldn't help but tense our backs.

"It's nothing." We were still nervous, but Qin Erye quickly closed his eyes and looked away, "Thank you for your concern. The Qin family has suffered a lot of misfortunes, and they have no intention of entertaining guests right now. If you have nothing else to do, please Go back, if you don't know what's wrong, please ask Haihan."

"The Qin family's house is vast. Maybe the second master doesn't know what really happened at the third master's place. Why don't you ask the second master to go to the courtyard where the third master lives?" Although Bu Ying was caught by Qin's second master's glance, Sweating on the bed, but still unwilling to give up.

Second Master Qin was silent for a while, just when we thought he would flatly refuse, he sighed slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll send someone to ask Third Master."

As he spoke, he called a person in from the door and told him to go to the third master's courtyard to see if there was anything unusual, and the person took orders.Qin Erye didn't talk to us in the gap after he left, and the host didn't speak, so we naturally couldn't talk casually, so the atmosphere in the hall was a little frozen for a while.

I looked around at the few people present, and saw that they were all looking at their eyes, nose, nose, nose, and heart, and they almost looked cross-eyed. I thought that if we continue to mourn like this, we have to hug each other and cry together. Otherwise, why would a group of people sit like this? Not to mention, it would be too embarrassing.Fortunately, after a quarter of an hour, the man finally came back, and I could feel that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"So that the second master can know that everything is normal for the third master." The man replied, "The third wife also asked me to greet the second master, saying that the third master is not feeling well and will not be out of the small courtyard for a long time. Don't blame me."

"Understood." Second Master Qin waved his hand at him, motioning for him to step back, and then looked at Bu Ying and us.He still didn't speak, but we all understood the meaning of this look.Bu Ying was also overwhelmed by the atmosphere just now, so he hurriedly stood up to say goodbye, said bothering again, and then led us out of Qin's house.

As soon as we walked out of the Qin family, we all let out a sigh of relief, and Ruan Lang said with some depression, "Is that person the head of the Qin family just now? Why didn't he say a word when there were guests? It's really depressing." gone."

He didn't know that something happened to the nephew of the Qin family, so I briefly told him about it.Ruan Lang was kind-hearted, and he sighed after learning about it, so he didn't take Qin Erye's indifference to heart.It's just that the Qin family insisted that nothing happened in the family, so what Ruan Lang said became a case without a head, but they didn't know what to do.

Ruan Lang looked at me eagerly, so I had no choice but to look at Bu Ying eagerly. No one could see Bu Ying, so I had to go to Ji Mingmei.Ji Mingmei was annoyed by his look, and said angrily: "You are the only policeman here, they should look at you, what do you think of me, I have a case on my face?"

"It looks like a murder scene." Bu Ying muttered, and fled before Ji Mingmei could react.Ji Mingmei heard what he said clearly, but she didn't get angry, but sneered calmly.I couldn't help feeling flustered and short of breath for Bu Ying when I saw it, because settling accounts after autumn is Miss Ji's usual skill.

Ruan Lang didn't understand the situation for a while, he couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard what Bu Ying said was amusing, halfway through the laugh he saw me looking at him lovingly, he couldn't help but stop abruptly, and looked at Ji Mingmei dully.Ji Mingmei smiled sweetly at him, not only did not take offense, but also stepped forward and patted his head affectionately.

In fact, she was not much older than Ruan Lang, but she made such a gesture, and Ruan Lang was very useful.I looked at Ji Mingmei in bewilderment, suspecting that her palm just now implied a murderous intent, I couldn't help asking Ruan Lang worriedly: "Are you okay?"

"What can I do?" Ruan Lang asked strangely, and Ji Mingmei also looked at me with a faint smile on her face.My heart skipped a beat when she saw her, and I hurriedly squeezed out a smile to respond to her.Ji Mingmei snorted and left in front, while Ruan Lang asked me in a low voice: "Sir, why are you asking me if I'm okay?"

I also lowered my voice and replied to him: "I heard that there is a kind of snake called Qibudao. When a person is bitten, he is not injured at all, but as long as he takes seven steps, he will fall to the ground. Her palm just now..."

Ruan Lang was taken aback by what I said, and immediately stopped in his tracks, not daring to go any further, with an expression on his face that he couldn't cry.Ji Mingmei said in front of her without turning her head: "My palm is called flying in place, and only those who stand still will die suddenly."

This Ji Mingmei girl is really full of treasures. I was shocked to be able to distinguish the sound of Tian Wei's high-heeled shoes before. Now we lowered our voices and talked, but we still didn't escape her capture range.I couldn't help being startled, so I quickly shut up and pulled Ruan Lang to quickly follow Bu Ying's footsteps.

Bu Ying walked in front of him, but instead of going back to the police station, he knocked on a few houses near the Qin Mansion and asked them about a peddler who sold wontons.Several families said that there was indeed a peddler nearby, who would push a cart out every night to hawk, and many families had patronized her.

The hawker is a middle-aged woman in her forties, and the wontons she makes are not very delicious, but the price is cheap, and they are made and sold on the spot. Many people want to buy a bowl of hot soup and hot water. The family coaxes children.This peddler would come out every day, rain or shine, for more than ten years.

But for some reason, I haven't seen her since a few days ago, and everyone thought that she had changed her career and quit, and they all felt a little regretful.Bu Ying asked them about the hawker's residence, and everyone said that no one had been to her previous residence, but she seemed to have moved here, and she lived not far away. Someone once saw her pushing a cart out of an alley. I want to live there.

After asking where the hawker lived, Bu Ying led us there.The alley where the hawker lives is quite narrow, and it can only accommodate two or three people walking side by side, which is probably just enough for the wonton-making cart to enter and exit.Fortunately, there is only one portal in the alley, so we don't need to inquire from house to house.

There is a stove at the door, and some coals are piled up around it, probably where the owner usually cooks here.Bu Ying went up and knocked on the door, but no one answered, but the door was not locked.Apparently the door was bolted on the inside.There were people in the room, but no matter how Bu Ying knocked on the door, he refused to answer.Bu Ying turned his head and exchanged glances with us, his face became playful, and he turned his head to knock on the door again.

This time he knocked on the door with great force, but no matter how hard he tried, the people inside the door refused to make a sound.Even though he is a policeman, it is not easy for him to break into a private house, so he spread his hands towards us, signaling that there is nothing he can do if we keep silent.After all, although what Ruan Lang said was treacherous, it was just empty talk, and we couldn't break in without evidence.

So we had to prepare to go home.But at this moment, there was a creaking call from under the door.Just as soon as we were in a hurry, a mouse came out from under the door.It's a miracle that this poor family with narrow alleys can raise such fat mice.

We were just wondering, when the mouse saw that the owner refused to open the door, so it rushed towards us enthusiastically on its own initiative, and we all shrank away subconsciously.Seeing us dodging, the mouse thought it was about to step on it, and ran towards Ji Mingmei in a panic.

Ji Mingmei screamed in fright, and kept jumping on the spot, singing and dancing as she watched.It's a pity that the mouse was more frightened than Ji Mingmei, and had no luck to enjoy her singing and dancing, and ran around hastily, but managed to pass through Ji Mingmei's feet without any fuss.

By the time we realized it, the mouse had already slid along the corner of the wall and disappeared somewhere.I looked at Ji Mingmei, and I felt even more admiration in my heart. I didn't expect that Miss Ji not only had good ears, but her voice was also very lethal.But when I saw her face about to cry again, my heart softened on the spot, and I hurried over to comfort her.

Bu Ying tilted his head and looked at the place where the mouse disappeared, and asked in doubt: "Did you see what the mouse has in its mouth?"
