Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 511 Just Say It

Lan Zechen had just made up his mind and was waiting for Hong Xiaoduo to wake up and tell her the information he had found, but he saw the man snoring and walking towards him from the stairs.

"Mom, why did you get up so early?" Little Yaoguang greeted happily.

The innkeeper beside them, as well as Lan Zechen and his servant, all had similar expressions on their faces - still early? What time is it already!

If the person speaking was not a little girl of five or six years old, they would even think that this was a deliberate sarcasm.

Hong Xiaoduo came over and touched Yaoguang's little head, then sat down in an empty seat and said helplessly, "I don't want to get up so early either. I must be hungry."

As soon as she appeared, Tianxuan stood up, took an oil-paper umbrella and went out to buy breakfast for her, and Quan Jinghuai followed her out.

"Xiaoduo, is it convenient for us to talk alone?" Lan Zechen asked.

I'm not sure if what she asked me to investigate is something I can say publicly, so it's better to be cautious.

Hong Xiaoduo nodded after hearing this and looked at Tianshu: "Go back to your room and practice calligraphy."

After she spoke, Tianshu naturally led his brothers and sisters away, and Feiyan followed them.

Without Lan Zechen saying anything, Jin Gui and Liu Zhaoqiang consciously walked away.

"The thing you asked me to check was delivered to me last night at midnight. I'm not sure whether it is useful or not. You can take a look for yourself." After saying this, Lan Zechen took out a large envelope and handed it to Hong Xiaoduo.

"So fast?" Hong Xiaoduo was a little surprised, looking at the heavy envelope in her hand, with a wax stamp on the seal.

Her reaction made Lan Zechen very happy, but he still said in a nonchalant tone: "Isn't this what our Duobao Pavilion does?"

"Whether it's useful or not, I won't let the Pavilion Master help for nothing." After saying this, Hong Xiaoduo didn't rush to open it and read it, but put it beside her. "No, girl, you just woke up now and you look like you didn't sleep well. What did you do at night? Practicing martial arts?" Lan Zechen couldn't help asking.

Hong Xiaoduo just smiled and didn't respond. She looked at Tianxuan who came back quickly and took out a bowl of wontons and steaming meat buns from the lunch box.

After eating, she didn't stay any longer. She said hello to Lan Zechen, picked up the things at hand and went upstairs to her guest room.

The children were practicing calligraphy in Quan Jinghuai's room. In Hong Xiaoduo's room, only Feiyan was drawing flower patterns.

Hong Xiaoduo walked to the coffee table by the window and sat down, opened the seal, took out the contents and started to read.

Feiyan originally wanted to make her a pot of scented tea, but seeing her frowning slightly and looking at the paper in her hand in deep thought, she didn't go over to disturb her.

Hong Xiaoduo had already read the contents of the paper in her hand three times. What she asked Pavilion Master Lan to help her investigate was all the incidents related to boys around ten years old that had occurred in the past two or three years within a radius of a hundred miles with Jiaozhou as the center.

There are seven things on the paper in his hand, all related to a boy around ten years old.

An eight-year-old boy was bitten by a dog and went crazy and bit people and was beaten to death a few months later.

There was a nine-year-old boy who fell into a well and drowned, and there was a man who was caught stealing eggs and choked to death due to fear...

Hong Xiaoduo felt that one of the things should be the answer she wanted. The reason why she was so sure was very simple. There was not only a description of the boy's appearance, but also a portrait.

It happened in a town fifteen miles away from Jiaozhou.

Just tell me, why did I have a strange feeling when I first saw that child, and why after spending so many months together, I still couldn't get close to him at all.

The incident happened last spring in a town called Xiqing. A merchant named Feng in the town...
