Help!Master Chief Assistant's Jiaojiao is a black widow

Chapter 109 Suspicion of the case

Hearing the complaints from inside, Ye Chengwei frowned.

Gradually realizing that the girl from the Hua family might not know how to cook, she had no choice but to get up and walk into the kitchen with her waist supported.

In the billowing smoke, only two figures could be seen frantically putting out the stove fire.

After the thick smoke gradually dissipated, Ye Chengwei looked at the two people with dirty faces, slowly flicked his sleeves to dissipate the pungent smell in the room, and said embarrassingly: "It's my fault for Playboy."

After apologizing to the shopkeeper, he sent the shopkeeper away, then walked to Hua Rujin, took out the handkerchief and wiped the soot from her face while ordering: "Let me do it, you just need to add more firewood. "

"Oh, that's fine."

Hua Rujin smiled embarrassingly.

He obediently sat by the stove and passed the firewood as he ordered, quietly watching him skillfully fiddle with the pots and pans.

Not long after, the smell began to fill the kitchen, making people salivate.

"I didn't expect that Zhuangyuan Lang not only has a lot of knowledge, but also has good cooking skills."

Taking a look at the two dishes he had prepared, they were all delicious in color and fragrance, Hua Rujin complimented him sincerely.

"Study abroad all year round, this is just the most basic survival skills."

Ye Chengwei replied without arrogance or rashness, feeling somewhat disappointed in his heart.

When I first met her, I thought this girl was just like an ordinary country girl. I never thought that the talent, knowledge and courage she showed would be applauded time and time again. On the contrary, it was a skill that ordinary girls would know. None of the same.

What a difference.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Hua Rujin silently stared at the man in front of her, and for some reason, she became more and more pleasing to her eyes.

In his memory, the original owner spent most of his time in foster care at his elegant cousin's home to study, and rarely touched the kitchen work, and the most he did was helping his two cousins ​​sort herbs.

Even after returning to Hua's house, the lady Meng in the second room was still worried about her, and didn't dare to let her into the kitchen, for fear that the original owner would tamper with the food.

After all, the original owner was not as good at cooking as he was.

Cough, if you marry such a virtuous wife back home, it would be a very good thing for your husband and children to be hot on the kang every day.

Just thinking about the past of the two and her current encounter, she didn't dare to think too much.

Waiting for Ye Chengwei to make three dishes and one soup, and the rice was steamed, the two sat in the quiet living room and ate leisurely.

The storekeeper sneaked a glance at the two handsome young students in the corridor, and then thought of the ambiguous actions of the two in the kitchen just now, and felt contempt for a while.

"It's such a pity. The gentle and elegant gentlemen have broken sleeves. Fortunately, they asked for two rooms. It's not an insult to the gentlemen."

He sighed silently, left the waiter behind, and went straight back to the house.

"You worked hard today, take good care of yourself."

Ye Chengwei filled a bowl of fish soup and handed it to Hua Rujin, full of concern.

"You work too hard."

Hua Rujin glanced at his waist, and put some vegetables into his bowl.

The shop clerk felt nauseated for a while, and also sneaked away.

Hua Rujin noticed the abnormality, and couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "What's wrong with them?"

Ye Chengwei glanced at her attire, seemed to understand something, quickly shook his head and said, "It's okay, just stay in the countryside and be careful."

Thinking of Shu Jinxuan, he suddenly felt sore: "Fortunately, Miss Hua is fine today, otherwise your cousin"

"My cousin."

Hua Rujin looked at his malicious eyes, and suddenly realized that he was thinking about that night again.

Cough, if he knows that I am staying in the countryside with Ye Gongzi at the moment, his words will be even more ugly.

Ye Chengwei sighed silently: "Fortunately tomorrow."

"How about tomorrow?"

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Hua Rujin hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing."

Ye Chengwei shook his head: "Hurry up and eat."

The two ate up the few dishes on the table, and then Ye Chengwei ordered the waiter in the shop to prepare hot water for Hua Rujin to bathe in, but the waiter in the shop showed embarrassment.

Hua Rujin suddenly thought of something, and asked hesitantly: "But the clean water prepared in the inn is not enough?"

After all, this place is close to the Chu River, and most people rely on the water source of the Chu River to survive, so few people dig wells.

The cost of drilling a well in a small inn like this is not small.

The waiter in the shop nodded bitterly: "I would like to invite you two sons, Haihan, because the water in the Chu River suddenly turned black, and our inn is next to the downstream section of the river. It is too far to go to the northwest to fetch water. Relying on purchasing a few loads of water from several wells in nearby towns to temporarily maintain the business of the store, there are so many merchants coming and going in the past few days, it is really not well-prepared."

Hua Rujin listened to Xiaoer's complaints, and also told Ye Chengwei what she saw at the riverside.

"Go down."

Ye Chengwei gradually fell into deep thought.

After waiting for the waiter to retreat, he asked with a puzzled face: "Why did the river water that was so good suddenly turn black, and it was still full of the smell of coke?"

"Perhaps the answer lies at the bottom of the water."

Hua Rujin replied uncertainly.

But this answer is probably difficult to be sure.

With limited technology these days, it is too difficult to explore the secrets at the bottom of the river.

But after thinking about it, he had been in contact with those floating corpses today, so he should be able to find some clues.

Staring at him intently, Hua Rujin cautiously asked, "What did Mr. Ye gain from going to Yizhuang today?"

Ye Chengwei didn't want to admit that he had been to Yizhuang, but this girl's fuss in front of Yizhuang's gate today was obviously certain that she was inside.

Thinking back to the conversation in the forest just now, he had no choice but to reply truthfully: "Those corpses may have been a few years ago, but they are well preserved, and most of them have no wounds from the sword. Even if there are, they are more like A bruise from a hard impact."

He raised his eyes pensively and looked at the dazzled brocade, and he slowly shook his head and said: "According to the conclusion of Wu's autopsy, most of these people died of suffocation. There are no traces of burnt up and down, and it is not a fire death."

"I remember hearing rumors from various places that those floating corpses are the corpses of soldiers who sank to the bottom of the river during the war."

Hua Rujin also gradually muttered in her heart: "If it is the remains of the soldiers, even the latest battle, it was a big battle fought by the great grandfather when he crossed the river, at least it took more than [-] years. It is impossible for the corpses to be preserved so well, and the smell of charcoal in their mouths and noses is even more unexplainable."

"It's really puzzling."

Ye Chengwei smiled wryly and said: "The number of floating corpses salvaged from several righteous villages is close to [-]. According to the people in the inspection department, there are still new corpses every day. It’s really hard to find another explanation.”

Hua Rujin doesn't have any memories of this in her mind.

Although Jiang'an County and Jiangling City are not far apart, they still belong to two counties. In the ancient times when information was blocked, the people at the bottom knew very few things.

If it is really because of the disaster that the number of people killed is so shocking, there should be traces.

After thinking about it, she reminded Ye Chengwei: "Mr. Ye, can you check the county records?"
