Chapter 243 Clue ([-])

"Ye Yuan, come over and have a look at this piece of porcelain, does it look like a part of the pig head mask we wore yesterday?" Liu Man'er took a look and handed it to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan also felt that the porcelain piece looked more and more like it. After all, apart from the mask, he couldn't think of anything else that would use such a thin porcelain piece.

"It should be." Ye Yuan nodded.

Liu Man'er said: "Yehe and Cao'er also had this kind of mask yesterday, this fragment is most likely left by them."

"Let's look for other fragments." Ye Yuan suggested.

The two bowed down to search for it, and sure enough, they found some broken porcelain in a corner not far away.

"The masks of Cao'er and the others must have fallen and shattered. The people in this alley, seeing such broken porcelain pieces, brushed them aside for fear of hurting the children." Liu Man'er analyzed: "It's very It is possible that they were taken away here."

Ye Yuan frowned slightly, and said: "I understand, there were quite a lot of people at that time, they couldn't take Xiao He and the other outside in an open and honest manner, and they didn't dare to stay in this alley for a long time, so it is very likely that they passed through the alley. Is this alley gone?"

"En." Liu Man'er nodded, and said: "Besides, Xiao He and the two are not children, they must have knocked them unconscious and tied them up, let's go inside to see if there are any traces of carriages and horses."

The two looked at each other and walked into the alley.

Perhaps it was their luck that this alley turned out to be a dead end, and at the end, it turned out to be a family.

Liu Man'er's eyes narrowed. If she was a human trafficker, she would choose this last one when choosing a yard. There is only one way out of the other yards. Only this last house is quite secretive and leads in all directions.

Liu Man'er paid attention to the gates of other houses in this alley. Their thresholds were all made of wood, probably because there was only one gate in the yard, and it was designed this way for the convenience of vehicles and horses entering and exiting.After all, if a wooden threshold is used, it can be moved to one side when a carriage passes by, and then return to its original position after the carriage passes by.

And this family has a stone threshold, which looks very thick, which is enough to prove that they have another door, but this door is not often used.

Liu Man'er didn't know whether her guess was right or not. After all, she was not a detective. This was his private house, so she couldn't go in rashly. After thinking about it, Liu Man'er raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" An alert voice came from inside the room, and then there was a sound of footsteps, and after the rustling sound, a fat woman poked her head out.

Seeing Liu Man'er, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, she quickly sized up Liu Man'er from the corner of her eye, and then smiled kindly at Liu Man'er: "Girl, who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this family's surname Ye?" Liu Man'er raised her head and asked shyly.

"What's wrong?" The woman asked with a questioning expression.

The woman's words seemed to speak of Liu Man'er's thoughts, causing her eyes to darken, and a mist instantly formed in her eyes: "There was a sudden change at home, I'm here to find relatives."

"You are?" The woman looked at Liu Man'er carefully, as if she wanted to guess whether she was her relative.

"My surname is Liu. I wonder if my aunt still remembers me?" Liu Man'er's eyelashes drooped slightly, and said, "My father said that when he was in business, he had a marriage contract with a family named Ye..." Speaking of this, Liu Man'er blushed. Hong Hong lowered her head and said, "It's fine if Auntie doesn't recognize this relative."

"Oh, it's not that I don't recognize it, I can't remember clearly for a while." The woman clapped her hands and said, "Come in first, it's freezing cold, but it's hard for a girl like you."

The woman's words were full of pity, and her face was extremely kind. Liu Man'er stepped in as if she had been bewitched.

A monkey ran over from Liu Man'er's side, but it startled the woman, "What is this?"

"It's a monkey I raised. It's called Shuai Shuai, but with him, I was able to perform all the way without starving to death." Liu Maner Yingying said.

"So that's it, come in." The woman's expression returned to calm, and after Liu Man'er entered, a sly smile appeared on her face, she poked her head out and looked around, seeing that there was no one else outside, she closed the door.

After leading Liu Man'er to sit in the room, the woman brought tea and asked, "Are you the only one in your family?"

"No." Liu Man'er shook her head, but did not touch the woman's tea.

"Isn't it? Oh...then you came to look for relatives alone?" the woman asked again.

"Yeah." Liu Man'er nodded, took a hairpin from her head, and said, "This hairpin is my token, please take a look at it, it was originally a pair, and there is another hairpin that must be here. Can I take a look at it?"

The woman had just taken the silver hairpin from Liu Man'er's hand and was playing with it, when she heard Liu Man'er's words, her hands paused, and she said: "This hairpin, I..."

"What? Did you lose it?" Liu Man'er asked.

"Yes." The woman went down the steps.

"My mother said that you must have a token. If there is no token, I'd better leave first." Liu Man'er stood up as she spoke.

"Hey, don't be in a hurry." The woman said quickly, "I'll look for it again. You've traveled such a long way. Let's talk about it after drinking a cup of tea."

"Auntie, please don't insult me. I'm not that casual person. Even if I've been a performer along the way, I've never sat in a stranger's house. I think I'd better leave first." Liu Man'er said and wanted to leave again.

What Liu Man'er said was a bit far-fetched, but this woman only wanted to keep Liu Man'er, and she didn't care whether it was appropriate for her to say this. Seeing that she was just asking her for a cup of tea, she could also get involved in insults, and the more she I think this is a well-bred boudoir woman.

This kind of delicate woman is worth a lot of money, she can let go of the fat sheep who has a mouth, and when she heard Liu Man'er said that she wanted to leave, the woman stopped in front of Liu Man'er without thinking, saying: "Have a cup of tea before leaving !"

Her tone was already a bit ferocious, Liu Man'er seemed to be frightened, she couldn't help but took two steps back, and whispered: "I'm not thirsty..."

"Little girl, don't make a toast and refuse to eat fine wine." The woman's eyes turned cold, and she said, "Not everyone can enter my room."

"If Auntie is not a relative of my family, please let me go, I still have to go find relatives." Liu Man'er begged.

"Since you said that, then Auntie doesn't let you go, she looks like a villain." The woman moved away as she spoke, Liu Man'er hesitated, but she still lifted her slender feet and walked towards the door.

As soon as she went out, a big stick was raised on the back of her head, Liu Man'er suddenly turned her head and shouted: "Be careful!"

The man holding the stick didn't respond, and as a result, Ye Yuan knocked him out with a stick beside him.

"I've told you to be careful, but you still think I'm you, so treacherous." Liu Man'er smiled a little bit cunningly, and the woman suddenly felt bad when she saw it, and took two steps back, But it was too late.

Ye Yuan walked over holding the stick, without saying a word, just hit it suddenly, and the woman's fat body fell down.

"The more harmless the smile, the more dangerous the person is, I know today." Liu Man'er said.

"Now that you know, be more careful in the future." Ye Yuan kicked the fat woman and saw that she hadn't responded, so he put down his stick, took Liu Man'er's hand, and said, "Go, Let's find out where Ye He and the others are."

"Based on my experience, it must be in a remote room in the backyard." Liu Man'er said and walked towards the backyard.

Ye Yuan thought the same as her, and the two walked towards the backyard. Not long after, Liu Man'er heard a voice from the backyard, and was crossing the threshold of the backyard, but suddenly a little fat man came out, he saw Liu Maner and the two of them , raised his head, and said proudly: "Who are you?"

"You don't care who we are." Liu Man'er was too lazy to talk nonsense with this little fat man, and continued to go to the place where the voice came from.

"Stop!" The little fat man was relentless, he said, "Who are you? What are you doing at my house?"

Liu Man'er ignored him, and just pretended she couldn't hear him. She had already seen a dilapidated room in the corner, and now she just wanted to see if Ye He and the two were inside.

Seeing that Liu Man'er and the two ignored him, the little fat man chased after him. He seemed to know what Liu Man'er and the two were trying to do, so he ran to the door of the house, guarded the door, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Dad! Mother, come quickly, someone wants to steal my pig!"

"Pig?" Liu Man'er slapped her back, "Knowing that your parents deserve what they deserve, I thought you, a kid, were innocent, but I didn't expect you to be so bad!"

As she said that, she slapped the little fat man twice again angrily, with five finger marks flushed on his face, and he knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

"Stupid pig who bullys the weak and fears the tough!" Liu Man'er spat and shouted inside: "Xiao He, Cao'er, are you there?"

"It seems that someone is calling us." Ye He was overjoyed and pushed the grass beside him.

"Is there?" Cao'er opened her eyes in a daze. Her body was always weak, but now her lips were dry and her consciousness was drowsy.

"Yes!" Ye He heard the sound of gravity hitting the door, and heard Liu Man'er calling their names again, and burst into tears of joy, "Sister-in-law, we are here!"

"Xiao He, Cao'er, don't be afraid!" Liu Man'er said and began to kick the door, but although the wooden door looked shabby, she really couldn't kick it open at once. After thinking about it, she brought up the little fat man collar, and forced to ask: "Where is the key?"

"At my parents' place." The little fat man said tremblingly.

"Hurry up and bring it to me!" Liu Man'er released the little fat man's hand, the little fat man staggered back and ran away as if flying away.

After he left, Ye Yuan stretched out his hand to pull out the hairpin on Liu Man'er's head, and turned inside the key, only to hear a "click", and the key opened unexpectedly.

"I didn't expect you to have this skill." Liu Man'er was overjoyed, gave Ye Yuan a blank look, and took the key away.

As soon as the door was opened, light came into the dark room. Liu Man'er saw many bound children. She frowned and walked into the room, and soon found Ye He and Cao'er. It is also tied up like rice dumplings.
